Back! And update of my vacation! Along with some news
14 years ago
Okay, back from vacation finally! Would've made a journal earlier today or sooner, but was a bit preoccupied by some other things, those whom are interested in hearing the ramblings of this naughty/silly little Pika, hehe.
Well anyway, vacation was kinda... eh. Don't get me wrong, it was fun and I did enjoy myself a bit in Florida (some nowhere place called Sanibel Island), but would've been more fun if family hadn't gotten on my nerves a bit. Sis and her husband doing... well, probably shouldn't say here, but just will say some personal things were brought up that I was hoping wouldn't, whilst I was down there. Anyway, let's not focus on the negative and focus on the positive!
Didn't do much while down there, only going outside of the house to swim and hot tub mostly (as well as one day where I went into a sauna), but there were a couple days did some things. Though for the most part, weather kinda sucked, cause it rained practically every day, except for Monday and Friday. Even ended up getting a nasty burn on both days, though yesterday's was the worse, cause of lack of sunscreen with a near-empty bottle I took down to the beach, even though I was in the ocean for the most part and didn't think had my upper-body exposed that much! And today, got some blisters and think am getting the beginning of sun poisoning according to family, ugh. But hopefully, your chu will be just fine.
Anyway, the days I did go out, didn't really do much, again cause of the weather. First day I really went out (beyond getting mostly daily ice cream and dinner from one place in particular, as well as swimming), was going to play mini-golf, but that went out the door with the weather eventually getting rainy. So, pretty much just went walking around, viewing some stores while family I was staying with was shopping. Though didn't interest me much, of course, lol. Went to a place with some birds and took some pics of some macaws and maybe some other kinds, so that was fun!
Second day, saw the new Transformers movie (in 3D!) the day it came out and it was... sublime. Despite never really having seen either of the first two before (though I saw the second one I think, earlier tonight mostly, on FIOS), but the way it ended was... well, will avoid spoiling things for those of you watching me who haven't seen it yet, but it was something to remember, I believe I can say, after all the "wtf?" and jerking around moments the movie had, haha!
And last day I went out, was really to get some souvenirs if anything, so I didn't just have pics to remember the occasion. Ended up getting a small photo album, a t-shirt in my size, and a shot glass (even though I don't drink, something I decided a long time ago for someone like myself who's smart and has dreams of making it big), all with the location on it. Other than all that, vacation was kinda blah for the most part. Mostly played games and did what I had to, but not quite as much as I would've liked to (or nothing, even though it was my intent) writing-wise.
So anyway, in the time since have been back, have sorta... damaged my computer. Accidentally cracked the screen in the upper-left corner mostly (though reaches down the left side almost entirely, so dunno if there's any errors I'm not able to see by the crack and white/blackness covering the screen, as I write this, so forgive me if there would be), when one end of my bed (that's not as good as it once was, due to it breaking down initially and didn't realize until it was damaged to the point where had to take the legs off, cause it's a daybed, that had screwed it on in the wrong portion, but was only cause get it to fit on very well where I figured it belonged, and saw these extra holes) came crashing down on it, while I had it resting near the edge of the bed! Though it's fallen on it a COUNTLESS number of times before, and never cracked it open before, but most (if not all) of those times, the wireless mouse I have was underneath the screen, so didn't close completely (not that it did, when it initially hit), but I also did kind of... take my frustration out on the end of the bed afterward, so dunno if that was my fault. Anyway, just letting people know, might not be online for a bit still, and will have no time to work on my stories (found out the contest for AGNPH was extended to end of this month), unless I work on it elsewhere, if I have to send it in for repairs. Wanted to do that AFTER I moved, since already have some scratches on lower-half, to be with my mate I mentioned in the previous journal (whom, if wasn't obvious, wasn't on vacation with me this week), but guess fate has to throw me the occasional curveball, like it just fucking LOVES to do.
Anyway, see you all in maybe a week or more, even though I'll occasionally check FA or elsewhere, if I need to use mom's laptop or they can't send someone down with the part to repair it in person.

I also may have been drinking last night, which could have also prompted me to post... :B
