Every time I start to forget where I am versus where I grew up and stuff, something happens.

Like going out to dinner to a restaurant where everything is either fried, comes with gravy, or both, and almost everyone sitting down to eat is vastly overweight. Also, the conversations. My god. Like talking to my grandparents wasn't starting to get uncomfortable all by itself.

I'm a sheltered little hippie, aren't I? People actually think like this.



It's not even a matter of intelligence or capability, it's just exposure. They haven't seen enough or experienced enough to form opinions outside of television, movies, newspapers... Stereotypes. So I can't exactly get mad.

I can get sad, though.

Man, do I want to cry sometimes, listening to people here.



(my fried catfish and mashed potatoes with gravy were delicious)

Yesterday for lunch, my grandmother made a roast chicken, gravy, mashed potatoes, corn, and a fruit salad with watermelon. She had water to drink but my grandfather and I had sweet tea. Afterward, we had brownies with walnuts.

For lunch.



Oh my god, I love Grandma's House.

I love how it's taking me days to remember all these things.

weaverandom: Ooh, look! A slinky!
trelali: Those things are awesome!
weaverandom: They go down stairs!
trelali: Alone and in pairs!
weaverandom: Yes!
trelali: They make a slinkety sound! A thing, a thing, a marvelous thing! Everyone loves a slinky!
weaverandom: ...what?
trelali: ...aren't we singing the Slinky Song?
weaverandom: There's a Slinky Song?

Grandma (GM): And there are towels and everything in the bathroom and... oh dear, where's the light?
me: The light? The switch is over here, Grandma.
GM: No, no, the um... the... *snapping fingers*
Grandpa (GP): The nightlight?
GM: Yes! Oh wait, there it is. So we'll keep that on for you just in case you need to find the bathroom in the middle of the night.
me: Oh. Okay, sure.
GP: And there's another one in your room, too, isn't there, (GM)?
GM: Oh no, I don't think so, I think we took that out. I'll go look for it.
me: Oh, no, that's oka-
GP: We'll just get it for you so the room isn't so dark.
me: No, it's-
GM: Won't be a minute, now where is it, I just know we had one.
me: I-
GP: It's around here somewhere, we always keep a nightlight in there, just in case.
me: ...
GM: Don't you worry, dearheart, we'll find it, now where-
me: Grandma, Grandpa... I love you both dearly. But I'm twenty-two. I can sleep in the dar-
GP: Oh, here it is! I'll go plug it in for you.
GM: Oh, thank heavens, I was worried we'd lost it!
me: ...


They are just the cutest damn things in the history of ever.

7am, Weaves with 4 hours of sleep, and me with 2.

weaverandom: *groan* Is this real life?
trelali: ....no, it's just fantasy.
weaverandom: ...caught in a landslide?
trelali: No escape from reality!


I hope our cab drivers remember us forever.


I cannot explain the depths of how tired I am. In the last hour or so with my family before my dad drove me to the airport, I definitely was not fully conscious. I think I may have had conversations with people, though. I slept like a LOG on the Burbank-Denver flight, though I barely slept at all on Brisbane-LAX.

Airports have been nightmares. A note, guys, and one I really should have paid attention to myself: ALWAYS CHECK FOR WEIGHT AND BAGGAGE RESTRICTIONS. I ended up having to send weaverandom home with stuff to take a kilo off my big suitcase, and having to borrow my mother's credit card to take care of the charges on both that bag and the extra charges for having two carry-on (backpack and laptop bag).

I'm going to be a whirlwind of emotion later. Right now, I'm just thankful for the free internets that will keep me awake... until my 25% of battery runs out because I have an Australian plug for my laptop now and forgot to take my American adapter out of my suitcase.

weaverandom: Did Steve Irwin have a brother? Surely he contains too much testosterone for him to ever have any male siblings. He must have used it all up.
trelali": ...oh. my. god. Chuck Norris is totally Steve Irwin's long-lost brother.
weaverandom: ...what.
trelali: DON'T YOU SEE? Chuck Norris would never jump headfirst onto a raging hungry crocodile, but Steve Irwin will never grow a manly beard! They have equal and complimentary raging testosterone powers!
weaverandom: MY GOD, YOU'RE RIGHT.
trelali: I KNOW.


Oh my god, I am so tired and sleepy and desperate for warmth. Weaves and I have been sleep-tired and silly since yesterday... AND BITCH STOLE MY WATER BOTTLE.

And stuff.

I was just thinking, as weaverandom makes some of her oh-god-there-will-never-be-anything-better-than-this pumpkin soup, that it might be nice to get away from a place where we eat a lot of cream and cheese and whole milk. My system isn't used to it and I'm worried I'll gain weight... even if it will make my pants fit.

Then I remembered I'm going to the midwest.

Shortly followed by the south.



Perhaps one day, I will rejoin my hippie ranks in California, where the tea is black and the menu contains sodium-free items.

But it is not this day.



This day, we feast.

trelali: Now what?
weaverandom: ...now what?
trelali: *nods* Now what?
weaverandom: Now.... dance break!

And we did.




I am going to miss this house so much. XD

We've reached Avoidance Factor 9.




...all right fine, I'll get up and start packing.

...soon.



Yesterday's City Sights tour bus was totally awesome, aside from the first bus driver, who got mad at me and weaverandom for interrupting his Highly Factual and Very Informative constant babbling with too much giggling. And then we went home, finished S2 of Avatar and started S3. We got up to the Dancing Dragon Episode of Gayness before it was collapsing time.

Today... I need to pack. And also possibly attend a barbecue.

AND OMG TOMORROW WE'RE GOING TO AUSTRALIA ZOO I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED!!!! KANGAROO PETTING ZOO, BITCHES, OMFG!!!!!


:D

Yoinked from wanderlustlover.

Have you ever kissed someone? Missed someone? Told someone you loved them? Drank alcohol?' Bah!

So instead, here are 49 (36 - I don't know why) questions for people who are a little older.

( Q&A )

Don't forget that I'm currently whoring out my drawing incapabilities.

I'm getting to the serious requests, I swear. I just didn't realize how much fun the ridiculous ones would be. Though to be fair, I'm probably only improving by doing the serious ones. <<

I think my last few days in Australia would be far more pleasant if I could just pretend like the last six months were supposed to have been a vacation and not a permanent move. Because this funk I've been in for the last couple of weeks has left me snappish and rude with the people I live with, with myself, and is basically me throwing a great big tantrum of BUT I DON'T WANNNNAAAAA that I have no right to do since I'm not three years old.

I just don't know how to force myself out of it. But-- guh. Have to. Have to have to have to.

Note to Self:
SUCK LESS.

Featuring Michael Cera.



There's no book I could ever hope to write that could equal the majesty of this YouTube series.

Pretend I have talent and request a sketch!

They are crappy but come with added lol. ALSO: FREE. Important.



I should be asleep.

More sketch requests, plz.

Preferably human. I have very little experience drawing animals and I'm pretty much terrible at it.

THX

Hey guyzorz,

I need things to occupy my time and my drawing has been crap lately.

Can I get some random sketch requests? I'll draw whatever you want. It'll be sketches, but I'll clean them up before posting them. Totally free.

One catch: You have to be SPECIFIC. My artistic ability is crap lately without you making me be creative, too. You know who I'm looking at. You. Yeah, you, who's always like "Yes, this! WHATEVER YOU WANT WOULD BE AWESOME." I'm lookin' at you. Specifics!



I have been super grumpy lately with weaverandom for no particular reason other than because I suck, so this is also in part to cheer me the fuck up. Also, she is the only one who doesn't have to be specific in this. XD Unless I've been a jerk to someone else lately, too, but you're gonna have to give me specific examples to believe you.

GUYS, IT'S TRL BUT COOLER.

FROM TOTAL REQUEST LIVE TO

TOTAL KITTEN LIVE.

GO REQUEST A KITTEN.



I may steal this idea at a later date. I need drawing practice.
