-I would LOVE to do another feature here... but I can't .__. The computer can only have one window opened at a time... so I can't really load artworks on different windows and copy and paste the thumbnails >_> I don't want to toy around with the options on this computer too much because it's my grandfather's and I don't want to mess anything up! ._.

-Well... the trip from Denver to Utah was 10 hours long... complete horribleness >_< I was SO bored! And I thought it wouldn't be that bad... It's funny; because we stopped at the "SUPER EIGHT" motel on the way, because we just wanted to do a quick stop on the way... and the hotel was horrible too >.< I mean... it was so LOUD. And the hallway smelled like cigarettes even though the doors said "NON-SMOKING" xD

-In Utah, we went to Zion National Park and went through a small drive through. I took lots of pictures of the canyons that I'm really proud of~! ^-^ Then it was about four hours to Las Vegas, where we stayed at "Bally's" for the night. We went out to the rainforest cafe for a while and I got myself a slushie because it was so hot -.-'

-This morning we woke up and drove four hours to Palm Springs, which is where my grandfather lives. The house is AMAZING, and they own a sweet but shy dog that I really want to hug xD We havet gone anywhere today... and it's around 10:00 now I think... but it's been okay. I'm making my grandfather some art because he really wants something done with Palm trees

-Tomorrow I'm going to... San Diego Zoo! I've never gone there; and being the animal lover that I am- I just can't resist begging to go there! It sounds so fun~ <3 It'll be fun tomorrow...

-After that, we're going to Disneyland for two days, and then heading back to Vegas for one day... and then going back to Denver ^_^

-My mom is going to have a surgery done. As it turns out, she needs to remove something called her "Gobladder" (Spelling is wrong, I know...) It's been really difficult for her here... but she insists that we keep pushing forward and get the trip over with, and then she can do the surgery afterwards. I'm so grateful mom... for you taking us on this trip. I'm really happy...

-So anyways, it's really hard to believe for me. I mean, it's hard to believe that this time of year last year I was crying almost every three hours in my room and screaming at everybody. and I was only thirteen last year... I was REALLY depressed. But you know, after that whole horrible experience- I realized that life's too short to complain and be anxious about.. You need to live life having as much fun as possible. That's when I decided that being optimistic was for the best! So... I try to be as happy as I can at all times...~ Really, every cloud has a silver lining. And I REALLY want to help people, help people in as many ways as I can.

...Okay, long and horrible rant. Please forgive me! Gomen, gomen! I APOLOGIZE TO THE WORLD! THE WHOLE FREAKING WORLD! D8

-*Sniff* I miss writing about you Ricky... I can't type until I get back to Colorado. Until then, wait for me~! ;_; *Sniff*

LONG JOURNAL huh? xD Thanks for reading this all if you have! <3 I really miss being on dA everyday, and being able to look at all my messages. Shoot, I came back with 200+ messages DX That's a lot of messages to check in one day... That's why I prefer being online everyday. But I guess there's nothing I can do about it >_<

Other note:

-Gah! I was on SEPHIROTH when my mom told me to turn off the game and to get in the car... I was on the FINAL BOSS! D8 I was almost done with FF7... I guess I'll just have to beat the game when I come back... Wait for me Cloud!! >.< I'm COMING BACK to you!!! ._.
