Two days since I have come back to sweet Edmonton. Forty eight hours since I have come back to the Canadian world. It feels great to be back at a cool 22 degrees or so. ^_^ And, it is great to be out of the car. The trip was kind of long and boring, but kind of funky at the same time. I am not planning to make it as long as the two day... or was it three? Oh well, even though it was a week, i am going to try and cut short on the writing. Going through Alberta didn't take long at all. Montana was going to be the next place on our list. It was pretty long, considering it was a 4-5 hour drive with no civilization. Around this time, everything was kind of the same. Still, I was kind of homesick at the beginning. We stopped at Helena for a big restop, and to get the car repaired. After pumping the car up at the gas station, we were heading for Butte. Trying to make progress, we extended further towards Dillon, which brought us to the depths of night. We spent some time, looking around, and decided to crash out at a Best Western. We saw there was a pool, but it closed by ten. After a quick shower and unpacking, we were ready to go by 9:45. ~* Oh yeah, Hugo came with us! He is a very nice cousin of ours, who is quite older then me.*~ Hugo just stayed in the hot... well cool tub cuz the swimming area was like... ZERO DEGREES! Ellie just walked around, the huddled back into the cool tub with Hugo. Daddy stroke back and forth at the beginning, then joined the club. I however, was the opposite of Ellie. By the end, I was swimming, swimming, and laughing like nuts! Mom stayed in the motel room, doing whatever mothers do. Once it was ten sharp. Going outside was really cold, so me and Ellie ended up shivering to death. Anyways, around four in the morning, we ended up in Nevada after I think crossing Utah. Sorry if I am wrong. I can't exactly remember since I slept most of the trip. =) During this time, we were playing "Who Wants to be A Millionaire?" and other sorts like quizs. Usually, I would be victorious, but Ellie and Hugo beat me once apiece. At Nevada, we stopped at Las Vegas, and a wonderful place we stopped at Boulder Station! Even though it was a motel and casino, it still had restraunts *including Chinese foods!*, a "Kids Quest", and an arcade. We spent some time there playing a Simpson game. After that, we headed for Arizona, Tuscon. *I dunno if I spelt in wrong, so ya* Anyways, the car busted just 40 miles from Wickenburg. It was horrible. The cellphone kept losing its connection, the tow truck was kind of late, and the air conditioning wasn't working! *muttering* Stupid alternator. Anyways, many nice people stopped to quench our thirst, and one was ever so generous. Jason, stopped, and said he could give us a ride to Wickenburg. Making sure that the van was going to get picked up, the men stayed behind while the woman joined the kind stranger. It was kind of awkward, but very comforting. Still, my worry grew stronger for Hugo and Daddy. He dropped us off at the McDonalds, letting us food and time to exchange numbers. After about forty minutes, they were back, and we spent about an hour and a half waiting while we repaired our problem. We headed for Tuscon, and got there by nighfall. We phoned the friend who was there, and told them to meet up at our motel room once we found one. Once they arrived, we spent the rest of the night, chatting about some business. We stayed at the place for a day, and left in the morning. Which brings me remembering that I had to get souviners! Well, me and Ell managed to get some Mashimaro presents; a piggy bank and a stuffed animal from our travels. Once we got back, we collected our newspaper from our cousins, and the next day was just like before I left.... Boring. Well, that ties it up. Oh yeah, we are making a giant comic, with quite a staff. Tomorrow, we might go get some supplies, for the storyboard, sketches, and characters. Well, I guess it wasn't short after all. He he! Well, have a nice August!

Well, this is my first tiime blogging in the morning. I am a bit tired, but I am awake enough to recall what happened. Well, I finally found out when the back to back episodes are. They are going to be on July 29th, and it is going to be one hour and a half. O yeah, and it begins at 7:30 for me, but satellite makes it all better. Pweese, don't be old! I really want to see the episodes with the other millenium items, including the millenium scale. Of course by then, the people will have probably hired new people. lol It always seems to happen. Well, I am going to visit someone outside the city. Oh god, carsickness! X.X I think this'll take a while, so I won't be replying for quite the time. ~_~ I have to record Yugi. Well, we went out to our cuz's house. We were late since we went to chinatown for some fun and all, so ya. We were a bit bored, so we started the time by playing Dynasty Warriors 3. I kept defeating Ellie in the game, so it got boring. Bust-a-move was the next game that we were going to play. At first, I was losing to everyone, but after a while, I got my reflexes sharper and all. ^_^ But Ellie was beating me every now and then. He heh! Well, we went to eat at a restraunt that had super-air conditioning, and had a big feast! =^^= Well, I am back at home, gonna say buh bye for some time as I leave sweet Edmonton. Keep having a great summa!

I feel so sad. Yu-Gi-Oh went back to its old episodes. I knew this for a while, however I forgot since I stopped, but the B2B is intruiging, so if you are a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh, watch it! When? Alright, all I know it is 4 B2B episodes in August. If you know, please e-mail me at odessa_ashitaka@hotmail.com so I can watch it too. He he! Anyways, the past days have been quite boring. We went to Callingwood to get the car fixed. Just to let ya know, this was yesterday. Soon, I won't blog like Lin! ^_^ I'm a freak. Gomen Lin, sorry if it was offensive. Anyways, the bowling alley was closed, so it was a real bummer. After we got the van in, we were looking around for things to do. We found a shop called SAAN, and it was having a clearance sale. The clothes weren't bad. Still, I hated shopping for clothes. I'd end up being asked, "Wanna buy this? Why not?" or, "Which one should I buy?" Second one mostly asked by Ellie. :D I bought 4 clothes: jeans, a frilly shirt, a vest, and just a normal t-shirt. After an agonizing 2 hours, we went and checked out the farmers market. I am not sure if it was only for one day, but it was cool! We bought some spicy vegetable spring rolls, and got a free sample before for a try. After having a small chit chat with the lady in charge, we checked the other places. Flowers that looked fake with its appearance so green, juicy sausages screaming, "EAT ME!", cheese samples and lots of other great stuff. After a long hard look, we went to Safeway and bought food, drinks and a carton of milk. Dad found us, and brought the car with him. We went back home, this time in the car. I had to remember how to get back cuz I was smarter then Ellie. Hahaha! After dinner, I planned to go and rollerblade with Kace since Return of the Cuckoo was on, and Ellie was SO...wait IS SO obsessed with the ending. Still, it was sad, I really wanted to cry. BUT NO! I AM A ROBOT! I HAVE NO FEELINGS! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! JK Anyways, we went around, got lost trying to get to a friends house. After idiodic attempts, we gave up and went. The next day, me and the cuz's went to the library to return our books. We went shopping at WEM, Richard complained of the sin of not getting what he wanted to eat, I went crazy and tickled Lin to death...Why am I trying to kill her? GOMEN LIN! Anyways, after dinner and washing the dishes, mom, Ellie and me went for a walk. HEHEHE! ELLIE FELL AGAIN! It was from road to sidewalk and then, *slip!* :D One new moment I will remember to humiliate her! Well, I just took a shower and I LOVE the smell of Herbal Essence. o^_^o Well, that is all folks. Have a nice night, and a darling day.

I haven't blogged in a long time, eh? Well, the longer I'll blog! *NOTE Bordem chance: 50%* To prepare for Klondike Day, me and Ellie were going to take some time at JP's pool. The first day we went was last Wednesday. I was kind of nervous, scared that I would fail doing my laps. Last time with my class, the person wouldn't let me go again, and that was a first. After having some fun it the shallow end, I got into the lap lane, and completed my four laps. :) I had fun going down the slide and diving board, but Ellie was exausted after going in the steam room. Thursday, the second day of swimming. I find Kace and Seth at the pool too. Taylor and MJ are also with them. These guys/gals are pals of mine that I met at school. Anyways, we splashed each other, played some catch, and then me and Ellie once again did our laps. I couldn't go on the slides since they were open before we got there, however, I still got to go on two of the diving boards, and swing on the rope. I believe that was my first time, so I kind of freaked out at first. After a while, I wanted to go on again and again. Noticing that our two hours of swimming was coming to an end, I decided to blow the last couple of minutes by swimming as fast as I could in the shallow end. *At first, I was in the lap area, but soon was later kicked out. XoX * We got ready, and packed all our things, since after we went to K-Days of Friday, we would be sleeping over at Lin's! We were really excited, both Ellie and me. Richard and Lin were hyper too, but not as much since they might have cancelled if there was an early rainfall. Well, I got a phonecall from Kace, asking if we could take a light jog *or roll on my rollerblades* before dark. I was kind of unsure, with K-Days in a 15 hours. But, I decided that it wouldn't be so bad. ^_^ After checking out the neighbourhood, I went back home, showed Kace some layouts Ellie made, and gave her a farewell as it was time to go. I didn't rest too easy, but I still got enough sleep to be preped. Finally, the day of Klondike Days! It...really didn't go as planned. In fact, these were the things that didn't happen... XD
-Meeting Mish and the gang by the big ferris wheel by 12
-Going at 1:30 instead
-Meeting Kace by the entrance. WE WERE LATE!
-Going on some of my favourite rides
-Eating mini donuts
And there is more junk. What made me look bad was when I said that Zipper wouldn't be freaky. My bad. After me and Richard went on together, I said that they would kill me, which they amazingly didn't. We also went on the Orbiter, Ferris Wheel *noon, evening and night! It was so beautiful. The only thing that ruined it was Lin's fear of heights. lol*, the mini ferris wheel *I never knew Rich was a big chicken JK*, did bumper cars, *Lin, bump somone! Fine, Ellie, bump her to death! He he!* went down the Tower, *Ow, my butt!* went down that big yellow slide thingy, *Wahoo!* Ice Cold Express, *Hm... Kind of fast* Polar Express, *Ah! I am squishing Richard!* and other sorts of rides I don't remember. The worsest part was when it rained. Lin was playing the game where you have to throw the ball in the bears mouth. She payed her 5$ and got her bear. Later, we made it bigger. Then Richard tried to get his pogo and/or scooter, until the drizzle turned into a flood! We headed back to the mall, but I was soaked bad! To prevent me from catching a cold, Lin quicking bought me a dry shirt to change in. After Richard bought himself a scooter, we went back outside, after the rain died out. WAIT! I also got something special. While we were looking around, I found two things. A dolphin brooch and a dolphin necklace. Did I mention that I loved dolphins? He he! After begging Ellie to death, we bought the $23.53 necklace. It is in my dolphin case, with my dolphin braclet, friendship necklace and personalized necklace. We went, and met Mish at the Ferris Wheel. By 1, we left, got pizza, went home at two, ate, brushed our teeth and junk, and finished by giddying all night. Actually, I did all the laughing.
Next day, they came over to sleep. Nothing really happened. We played Pang and all. After the day of the sleepover, Lin and Richard left after dinner, after we went to future shop. Once again, I am alone, and bored.

Once again, I went for a painfully hot walk. Me and Ellie went over to Lin's, bringing our rollerblades just in case. Well, Michelle *a good friend of Ellie and I consider her one ^^* came over with her bro's, since she heard that we were going to spend some time at Lin's. We started by having a nice cool drink of root beer. =^.^= It really cooled me off. We watched six episodes of Mashimaro *if you want to check it out, go visit www.mashimaro.co.kr* and decided to head for the park. I kind of wasn't sure of this, since I got weary of direct UV rays. But, it was okay weather. It may have been hot and windless, but the sun was blocked by the clouds partially, which was a huge plussive. Ellie lost her confidence while going down Lin's driveway, and ended up on her bottom. ^_^ She was so afraid of slipping again, she tried her best avoiding the road and any level changes. It was really comediac, seeing her *slurred voice* slowly go down the hills. lol With rollerblades on, and no shoes, going to the park was a real bummer for Ellie, Lin and me. After a few minutes, we decided to head back to the house. Ya gotta admit, it gets kind of hot after a while, eh? Well, when we got back, Mish and her bro's started watching Harry Potter and the Philosopher Stone. Bored, Lin declared a water fight against me. With nothing else to do, I gladly accepted. :D It was so fun! Lin was soaked from head to toe, I was soaked from head to hip, and when the gang checked outside, we blasted them with the hose! It took one hour to dry clean our clothes. @@ TOO WET! Well, we watched a bit of Blood, the Last Vampire, until I got interrupted by a phone call. It was mom, telling us to go home. =( Well, I got the horrible feeling in my tummy, not wishing to leave. But, I had to. Now, ma is making some strawberry milkshakes to cool down the crowd. ^^ Asta la vista viewers!

I am in three moods today. Boiled, stressed and happy. I am happy because I was playing "Fly the Copter". Lin said that she got a record of one thousand and something, and she said "I would be proud if you could beat my record." So far, my record was a low 1415. I tryed again and again, but I could only get so high. When I was frustrated since Ellie had left for "Return of the Cuckoo", I reached over Lin's score... WITH 2213!!! :) I am so proud! Well, I am stressed because I am the middle of a fight. If you had read Jinni's , it might connect a strong conflict during the past day. I agree with some of what is happening *strength to stand up for yourself from harm*, but I wish that it didn't involve me. X( Well, ya gotta admit, having the limelight in a negative position is not my picnic. Anywho, lets go onto the *steaming sound* boiled news. Well, we went to Chinatown for the usual groceries and to eat at a restraunt*as usual!* Well, two thirds of the time we were waiting in the car for our parents to come back, the other half basking in the coolness of the air conditioners. *relaxed sigh* My gods. Anyways, the basement is still burning right now. Maybe we should change our scheme to a cooler color than a red. lol JK Well, I guess that is all I can think of. Sorry if I offended anyone right now. Well, there is a saying that keeps me holding. "Should you be sad that there is trouble, or be troubled that you're sad? Life is tough but it must be rough. Cuz, what comes around, goes around." Kind of three sayings. ^_^o Oh well. Wait, there is a bit more. Soon, I will be heading into Junior High. ^^;; Kind of a big leap for me. I really hope that everything will be fine, and my friends are there still. I also feel scared and all. Commitment is like, the worsest thing I can do, but if I am givin' enough space, I can accomplish lots. *sigh* Kind of stupid, ain't it? I am looking forward to meeting more people too, and making more buddies online. If you can, e-mail me cuz I am SO bored. I can't wait to visit Lin later just for fun. Well, gotta get my winkies, and a well deserved shower. I gots a feeling that tomorrow will be tougher that today. Hopefully, not hotter. lol Have a wonderful weekend everybody!
