So I didn't have internet access till now, excluding the random bits of wi-fi when we were in restaurants and such, but now I can document my vacation! Yay!
So let's get started with Day 1!
Since I've been working everyday for the past two weeks, I haven't been doing much, but weekends have been good. ( ^-^ ) On Thursday, I got to leave work early and we all drove to Chicago to stay in my parents' friend's house, though it didn't wi-fi...but it did have a very nice TV with surround sound and movies. And a very, very comfy bed. Not much happened really...Well, my neck was sore because I was reading manga in the car on the way with my neck craned pretty low. Its only starting to feel better now.
Day 2!
Well, I didn't really sleep on day 1 because our flight was at 6 am and we had to leave for the airport at 4. I slept for...an hour and 45 minutes maybe? It was a little stressful because the cab driver couldn't find the house at all, despite having a GPS and my dad decided to just drive to the airport and shell out the money for the parking spot but just as we loaded everything into the car and pulled out, the cab found us and we had to unload and reload into THAT car. (facepalm)
Super long plane ride later, we immediately went to eat some good asian food and went to the mall to do a bit of shopping, though I didn't have money on me so I couldn't get anything...Uh...just ate food then and went to the hotel where I had no internet...I was a little sad to be honest.
And across the hall from my room (I was staying with my cousin and brother in one room and my parents had the other) my mom heard...you know..."noises" and asked us if it was the TV. Went to listen...nope, wasn't the TV. (laugh)
Day 3!
Went to eat more amazing food, did a little shopping, had some mango shaved ice, and then the dentist. The dentist back home kept telling me that I had to get my wisdom teeth pulled ASAP and that if I wanted my one crooked tooth straightened, I would have to get braces. I come to LA where the dentist is a good friend of my dad's and he tells me my wisdom teeth haven't even come out and that there's no rush AND he can straighten my tooth by adjusting my retainer. No wonder my parents like us coming here for the dentist instead.
After teeth cleaning, we went to the GREATEST ramen restaurant ever. Foo Foo Tei, I think its listed on google, is so amazing...Totally authentic Japanese food there, plus they have so much manga. ( ^-^ )
Then...the most boring car ride ever. It was only 3.5 hours to Las Vegas but oh my god it was boring. In most cars, you can find a slight comfortable piece of window sill or something to put your head on to sleep, but not the rented one we have...I also don't have a jacket so no make-shift pillow...I tried hard to sleep...but the bumpy road didn't help either...Well, now we're at the resort and wow...Its pretty much a condo...And internet! Yay! (thumbs up)
Random thoughts:
I realized these past few days I'm kind of a pessimist, since I tend to think of the worst case scenario...After having a talk with my cousin about how I'm not going to just die or something terrible is going to sweep the planet (I'm really messed up during my monthly times...hormones!), I realized I should think more positively and that there's really no point to worry about ridiculous things that can be avoided by being aware and such. I feel tons better too now that my monthly times of evil have passed. I'm going to enjoy life damn it! (fist pump)
Manga highlights:
Kaichou wa Maid-sama chapter 61 is out! And oh my god I was trying so hard not to squeal in the dentist's office! I was so anxious because I was at the climax of the chapter when it was my turn to get my teeth cleaned so I had something to look forward to, even if it was the last page. Fujiwara-sensei never ceases to amaze and cause me to go fangirl at the most inappropriate times...(laugh)

Usui can't transfeeeeeer~~~ (>//<) We've waited so long for them to get together and now they will separate?! Unless Misaki transfers too...but that can't happen either! They'll probably work this out...Though I guess I expected this to happen since Usui and Misaki's family situations are so different...I wouldn't be surprised if Usui really had a fiancee and such. Ah, Fujiwara-sensei, please continue doing your fine work. (bow)

And now the video of the night is Dance With The Devil by Breaking Benjamin. I'm not sure if I've put a non-asian MV on here...First for everything! ( ^-^ ) I was going to put Untouched by The Veronicas because that was what I listened to on the car ride here but no embedding was allowed...Anywho, my friend from the lovely country of Canada showed this to me, thanks Moko!
