The Rest of the Story

I should have done this post first because I flew here before I was here, but I decided I'll be ungeneric... Here are some of the 53 things I wanted to say in my last post but my short term memory loss didn't allow me to.

On my first flight, when I was leaving to be escorted my Mom kicked my butt at least twice while she was saying goodbye, but I didn't mind as much as a normal 14 year old should have. Then we went through security blahblahblah. We got to skip all of the lines because we were Unaccompanied Minors (UMs). By 'we' I mean me and the other four UMs, all of which were boys :-D And None of us said a word to eachother.

When the plane was finally ready, we got to jump on first! Which was trés exciting for me. While I sat and waited for everyone to board, I read a magazine. When I finished the magazine, it was ready to go. Only something was missing... There was no one sitting next to me!!! There was 2 seats, and aisle, 3 seats, an aisle then 2 more seats. I was on the left end of the 3 seater. Not only was there no one sitting next to me, but there was no one on the othere end. And I swear I was the only person with no one sitting next to me, let alone 2 seats! So I VERY luckily got a whole bed to myself!

The flight on the whole was very comfy but for 4 hours I was trying to lift the second arm rest so I could fully lay down. I casually tried about every 10 minutes or so but I just could not lift it. In the end I did get it and took a little snooze. It felt like it took a lot longer than usual because I was all by myself. But I was just fine with that. They gave us pizza for one of our meals (wow!). Oh, I have a funny story, well it's not funny, more typical, anyway... Airlines are supposed to feed you if the flight is 4 hours or longer. Well, my family and I were on a flight to somewhere from somewhere else and the flight was 3 hours and 57 minutes. And they DIDN'T feed us!

When the flight finally finished, I got off and we were escorted and had to pick up our bags. Now I was very nervous about this because my suitcase was more than half my weight... But after I made a fool of myself trying to pick it up, one of the older guys standing next to me gave me a hand. I cool-ly thanked him (I hope) and then went over to where the other UMs were as glamouresly as I could.

We were taken to 'Dusty's Den' or some other incredibly peculiar name like that. I got a coke or something and watched Spongebob Squarepantrs for what seemed like 3 hours. I sort of stared at my cell phone hoping I was sending out telepathic brainwaves to people to call me. It wasn't working, shame. I waited and waited, watching Spongebob and Squidward screaming their pants off because they saw a fish with a spatuala hand coming towards them in the shadows... until FINALLY my name was called and I gladly followed the guy. This time I did have to sit next to someone though.

THEN... I landed and Grandma, S, Joshua and a dang cute baby was there to greet me WITH a chicken quesadilla from Taco Bell, it doesn't get much better. But then my suitcase didn't come which kind of spoiled the moment. So I got to sleep in very cool pajamas. BIG shorts and a T-shirt.


Anyway, the other day got a text saying, 'Nichole wanted me to tell you... You were wrong about Jeremy.'
I said, 'Nichole wanted me to tell you... you got the wrong number.'
She said, 'Oh, Haha. Sorry lol there's like 5 katie's in my contact list...Two Katie r's lol.
Ya, well I ain't katie either.

Today, I got up, picked crying Dano up, handed him to Aunt A, then I sat on the couch and observed. Benja was playing Zelda as usual and he was asking me about it. 'Do you know where the fire temple is?' 'Do you know how to sing the song on here' 'Do you know who Gandolf is?' 'Do you know what this mask does?' I couldn't answer any of the questions. Sometimes when I get up I end up watching Teletubbies, Sesame Street, Calliou (or Caillou?), Blue's Clues, some weird rainforest show etc. etc. because I can't be bothered to move :-) Benja is getting more adorable everyday, he comes out with new phrases and it's so cute when he just likes to stare at me.

Avee was on the baby swing-thing. I said 'Avee, get off of that.' She just looked at me for a couple seconds and started playing with the little movable shapes on the front. I said 'Avee, you need to get off you're going to brake it.' She tilted her head up ever so slightly so her eyes were just able to see mine, and she just stared at me as if thinking 'Are you talkin' to me? Ah-ah, you obviously don't know the rules around here, girlfriend!' But she is so darn cute I just giggle at her.

I've been hearing strange noises coming from the bathroom for about 5 minutes and finally I heard the door start to open. I looked at it and this little eye looked back. I watched her, she watched me and we both didn't move. I thought I was going to burst out laughing. I was guessing she wasn't supposed to be there, which is why she was hiding behind the door. She was invited to come to the living room and she ran :-) Oh, and my name is 'Docka' or 'Dercka' according to her, everybody say awww!

I am going to finish on Angela's new found thrill. She gets so excited when she does it. She says it's like a drug. What is it? It's making the baby toot :-) She shakes dano's legs like he's on a bike, then she rolls his legs, THEN she rolls his legs up and bends them in and voila! *Toot* she got three in a row last night...
