[-My Weekend In Review-]

Friday
Well, I was woken up at 8 am. Got ready and left with my mom to my uncles' house in Irvine. Got there, watched I believe...maybe not. Anyways then waited for my uncle to get out of the shower. Then he had to go to the bathroom. I should have just kept watching James Bond. Anyways, then we were going to leave and get breakfast, but there was water in his trunk. I don't know. But he had to vacume it out and dry this pad thing. Anyways, so we went to breakfast at Champagne, French Bakery and Market. I had a raspberry Danish and hot chocolate and my uncle had coffee. We stayed there until 11:45 am and went back to his house to get trade cars with my other uncle. Anyways, we talked about life and college and our family and stuff like that. Then we went down to Buena Park to my cousins' house. Kevin's friend Nicholas was there. That guy is dumb. The icecream man drove by and he gets up and says "Bye bye!" and runs out the door to catch him. He didn't catch him. Because he fell. But practically the whole time we had asked him if he wanted to go get lunch or if he wanted anything to eat. But "No I'm fine." Yeaaahh...Riiiight. That's why you crazily ran outside to catch the icecream man. Whatever. I finally played Kelly Slater's Pro Surfing. It's pretty fun. The controls are hard. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 is a lot easier. I like that game too. Maybe I should ask for it. Anyways, so then we went to the Irvine Spectrum to return my cell phone cover. I got this cool one with spider webs. My sister told them the wrong model, but I don't know why because we have the same phone! Haha, oh well. Then we looked around at Hot Topic. That one there is a lot better than the ones at the malls. This one has everything. But my cousin didn't see anything. Then we went to Barnes and Nobles so i could buy my books. My uncle, Carlos, got me a $10 gift certificate to there. It helped me a little. I still had to pay $58. Oh well, I got one of the books I wanted. It's Led Zeppelin Complete. It has all their songs written out with TAB and everything. Very cool. Then I bought this other book about guitars. The name is escaping me right now, but it has a lot of information. Including stuff about amps and strings and how to play and chord charts, just about everything you need to know. There was this other book that was similar, but this one had more pages and I thought it would be better. I wanted to look around some more, but my little cousin (that's Kev) had to go to the bathroom, and he doesn't like to go in public restrooms. What-ever. So then we went back to his house and waited for my grandma to show up. Because she comes to cook for them every Friday. So Kevin went to Cyberdeck to play Counter Strike. I really didn't want to go. Samantha fell asleep and my uncle Toulouse (aka Arturo) was asleep, but then woke up and forced me to watch the great (note the sarcasm) show of American Shooter. B O R I N G. Well, I wasn't forced, but some of the stuff was interesting. Then we ate, then I went back to my cousins house to spend the night. We watched Goldmember. I wanted to watch it so badly but I fell asleep. I knew I would have another chance to watch it so I just slept.

Saturday
Woke up around 11 am. Um...watched TV. Watched Goldmember again...but had to leave. Went to Disneyland. We got there about 3 pm. Didn't get in until 3:30. My aunt had to buy me a ticket. She just bought me a season pass, because if I go one more time it will be worth it. And I'm sure I'll be able to force my friends into going. Or maybe I'll just go with them again. No matter. It took about an hour and a half for them to set up our stupid passes and to get a dumb card. Then we finally ate. I don't remeber what the place was called, but it was in New Orleans Square. It was so annoying. There was this hispanic family in front of us, and behind us. I think they were all together. But anyways they were so annoying. Why do they always have to make it so difficult. The guy asked for three #1's. Um THEY AREN'T NUMBERED!! So anyways, I had a turkey sandwich along with Sam and Kev. So then we go over to the Haunted Mansion and get oursleves a Fast Pass. So we can't use them until 7:55 pm. So uh, we try to waste time until 7:20, that's when we could go get another Fast Pass. So we walked around for a long while then went over to Space Mountain to get a Fast Pass, but noooo, they don't have anymore. So then we just end up going to the Haunted Mansion. We didn't even have to wait in line for a minute. We got to walk right through. Muahaha. So then we couldn't decide what we wanted to do. So we went over to Adventure Land to get a Fast Pass for Indiana Jones, but they didn't have any. And the Jungle Cruise was right there, so we went on that. The lady was pretty funny. Then we went and got some carmel apples and hot chocolate. Then the fireworks were on at 9:30. They were cool. Then it "snowed." It was actually soap suds. We decided to go try Space Mountain again, because of all the people that were leaving. So the wait was only 50 minutes so we're like "Hell yea, let's go on it if that's the wait time." Little did we know that was the line for Star Tours. So we got outta that place as soon as possible. But all the waits were so long. So we just decided to leave. As we were leaving, this lady behind us said "Well, if it snowed on Main Street, why isn't the ground wet. And if it wasn't real snow, why isn't it on the ground?" I told this to Sam then I said "Haha, she'll never know!" Anyways, so when we were leaving, it started to rain. Oh joy. And rain it did. We were waiting for a tram to take us back to the parking structure and these stupid morons were fighting. The guy says "Only 5 people to a row" so these dumb ass people are fighting over who stays and who goes. I thought I would have to wait behind, but the lady at the end of our row had this huge ass stoller that was taking up too much space. So we were ok. Boy, was it cold. I was sitting on the end. And all the wind and rain gets on me. But hey, it's allright. I got to take a warm shower when we got back to their house. Yes...so then we watched the rest of Goldmember and then watched Ice Age. Then fell asleep.

Sunday (Today!! finally sorry, but I like to go into detail about things)
Woke up about 1 pm maybe. I don't know. I didn't see a clock. Anyways, then got ready and went to the swap meet. Met both of our uncles there. Then ate lunch/dinner at Champagne. I say lunch/dinner because it was about 4:30 when we did eat, and we hadn't eaten anything else all day. Um, then we went to Tilly's because Samantha had to return a belt because it was too big. She's like really skinny dude. Anyways, then they took me back home and hung out for a little bit. Then I took a shower, watched the last 2 minutes of The Oblongs. Don't you just love Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. Then watched the Ripping Friends. I was going to watch the other cartoons, but I started to read Rolling Stone. So I was more "focused" on that. Um, then I practiced my guitar for a little bit, and Sammy called me. I guess we're going to meet tomorrow for our religion project. Oh joy. I hope we get a lot of work done. We need to because it's due on the Thursday we come back. (I believe, not 100% sure about this folks, so why don't you check your agenda to make sure). Uh, yea, then came online about 9. And now I'm here.

So overall I had a pretty good weekend. It was nice to talk to Uncle Carlos about stuff. We're going to do it again sometime. Man, my hands are COLD!! Brrr...I'm wearing the gloves Nam bought me, but my right pinky is frozen (maybe). It's a lot easier to type with gloves than mittens. Haha, try to picture typing with mittens. That's pretty funny. Ok, so I bet you're tired of reading this already, but I just wanted to get my weekend in review.
