Okay, well every one of you probably hates me now, because again (AGAIN!!!) I forgot to complete my log of events in travel.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me! I guess I’m just an idiot! But seriously, I will totally understand if you all hate me. I hate me too…I forgot what happened the rest of the time.
ANYWAYS
I got over the guy I mentioned before, but now I have another crush.
And I’m getting super-siked to go on another British Invasion. Yay!
Aaaaaaaaand….my bestest friend Kelly and I are making an epic video series, I might be putting it on YouTube eventually (we haven’t decided to yet) but it’s on my Facebook already. EPICNESS!
Anyways, nothing really to report. I’ll come back when my life is interesting again.

OMG i was searching the documents on my computer a moment ago, when i found a LOST BLOG POST from some point. I’ll paste it here:

December 2nd, 2007

Today we went to Washington D.C. in the shortest limo ever made. But the driver was nice, and he helped us with the luggage when we got to the Washington Dulles Airport. We checked the big baggage in, and all, and then we tried to check the carry-on’s, and it turns out my mom’s carry on was about one and a half inches too big. So I had to stuff half of her junk into my bag, and then all of my crap wouldn’t fit, so I had to almost break the zipper to get the stuff all back into my bag, and– whatever.
Then we were ushered into this ooshie-cooshie “Elite Lounge,” where some creeper tried to read this blog post over my shoulder. Then

And that’s it. It’s not very informative, true, but definitely very awesome. Basically, this was right before I went to London, where i departed from my house and went to D.C. Nothing really happened, so I guess I forgot about it. WELL ANYWAYS HERE IT IS!

Hi again.

So yeah, today we woke up, and went to Starbucks (I got a Mint Mocha Twist, as I always do, and it tasted similar to the mint mocha lattes I used to get in London, although, of course, nothing in New York could possibly be as awesome as anything in London, duh, and a coffee cake YUM). Then we went to Macy’s, and I got a super-de-duper trench coat I’ve wanted for three months, which I am hoping to wear to school Monday, so those of you who go to mi escuela might be able to see it. Lucky you. And for some random reason I really want to type Gene Wilder’s name, so: Gene Wilder. Sorry I don’t even like that guy, but still. Anyways, moving on with my randomness:

Then we went to the hugely enormous M&M’s thingy-store-thing, and got all this M&M’s paraphernalia. And there was this fun thing, where you stood on a little platform, and it judged what color M&M matched your mood. I was light blue: “You’re determined to see a job through to the end. Isn’t it time to cross ‘eat chocolate’ off your list of things to do?” Damn marketing. And besides, I’m a procrastinator! Psh….dumb, stupid…grrr…. D:< So yeah And I could almost swear I saw a bunch of celebrities, or look-alikes, on the streets:

-The wacko who played Jasper in Twilight (lol Lau it was hilarious, because I totally started laughing, because the guy/look-alike looked like he was in a LOT of pain :D)

-The dude who played Barty Crouch Junior in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

-Haha check out the dash next to this sentence!

-Ashton Kutcher, who I had never heard of until those camera commercials.

So I came up with a list of celebrities I would have LIKED to see:

-Daniel Radcliffe

-Orlando Bloom, simply so I could shout “’Ello, Orly!” at him lol I don’t actually like him

-Rupert Grint

-Daniel Radcliffe

-Nick Jonas (just so I could tell him my CC’s number)(CC is  Crazy Canadian, aka Maddy S.)

-Someone with a lot of Ghirardelli chocolate (which I think I spelled wrong) (actually, Lindt would have been aiight too)

-Peter Parker

-The Muffin Man

-Harry Potter (different from Daniel Radcliffe; will explain rant eventually)

-The Queen of England

-Charlie Bucket

-Robert Pattinson, so I could throw heavy/sharp things at him

-Edward Cullen so I could throw…ummm…hmm…I would say sharp/heavy things, but that wouldn’t help…erm…fire? Would that help? I don’t know what would hurt him, but I would hurt him very badly. Moohahahaha! I’ll kill you, my ugly, and your little fangirls too!

-I can’t think of anyone else, but I made this bullet/dash thingety thing anyways

So yeah, I’m just…OH YEAH Kelly, I saw a huge 30-foot-tall LOST poster and I was like AHAHA KELLY

Oh, right, I’m blogging. It’s a journal: events, actions. Got it. But anyways, we saw the Rockettes and the Christmas Spectacular. Zamboni is my new favorite word. I JUST HAD FOUR COKES IM REALLY HYPOER RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GHAA!

I give up, I’m just going to be random and list events tomorrow. Whatever.

 

How would you feel if I randomly started quoting Pirates of the Caribbean? Anyways, before I continue with my lecture, would anyone like any tea and crrrrrrrrumpets? Heyheyhey Something something something…big black horse and a cherry tree…you’re not the one for me……EW it’s the Priceline Negotiator on channel 47.  OOOOOOOO tomato craving! You know what would be really good right now? Grape soda, a big sliced tomato, and lemonade.  Om nom nom…FECHE LA VACHE. No points! Energizer bunny…Has anyone besides me noticed the Starbucks symbol is a naked woman? OOMpa LOOMpa DOOMpatiDOO. Whaaaaaangdoodle! Nitwit blubber oddment tweak, which one doesn’t fit? Tweak, it doesn’t have a letter repeats. Cheeses crickets! Hey Macarena. BLECH.

I give up, there is no way this is making any sense to anyone ugh. Bye.

Okay, so I’m back.

Yesterday, after my last post, we got off the train (obviously) and then caught a taxi, and the driver didn’t speak English too clearly. (And, oh yeah: he was flirting with my grandma? I think he was just trying to get an extra tip >:( ) So we told him we wanted to go to the Millennium Hotel on Broadway. And, of course, he was so busy “flirting” with my grandma, he dropped us at the wrong hotel, which, unfortunately, we didn’t realize until after we had paid him, and he had driven away. So, not knowing where in the hell we were, we wandered around for a little while, hoping to stumble across the hotel by accident. And, of course, I packed my luggage incorrectly (we were rolling our luggage around, too) so my suitcase kept tipping over and tripping me, and these vendors kept poking us, and…well, let’s just say I was in a bad mood. So, we were wandering around in the theatre district, when I looked up, about to start screaming at the sky, and noticed an ad for a certain play. I think you know where this is going. Now, those of you less clairvoyant may be wondering: What play was it that you saw a large poster for, 60 feet above the ground, staring down at you? Hmm… I will give you some clues, oh less-future-seeing-ones:

1)      Starts with an “e”

2)      Ends in an “s”

3)      Contains the topmost leftmost key on a keyboard

4)      Has two “U”s

Anyone? Can anyone guess what famous and slightly controversial play would have made me start laughing maniacally in the middle of a god-forsaken sidewalk somewhere in the theatre district of New York?

If you guessed “Equus”, you would be right! Because guess who was playing the main character of Equus in the theatre directly under the ad? I’m not making up any more clues, so I’ll just tell you: DANIEL RADCLIFFE! And there he was, staring down at me angst-ily, face only feet above me; and I knew that he was somewhere within 250 feet of me (having momentarily glanced at the show times beneath it, and seeing that it was playing right then), being his ingenious actor self in front of hundreds of people. Unfortunately, I also guessed he was probably naked, which was a bit odd.

So, as I thought of these facts, it was no wonder I started cackling maniacally, eventually dropping my suitcase and falling on top of it like it was a couch. My grandma and mom were just staring at me sympathetically, like they thought I had simply snapped from stress. I tried for a little while to explain to my mom through my laughter, but eventually I gave up, realizing she would only tease me about it. But ever after, I peered more carefully into each blacked-out limo heading that way. Perhaps with some success: At one point, I squinted into the window of a stretch hummer with blacked out windows, and could almost swear I saw a man with brown-black hair and startlingly blue eyes. GASP!!! Was it…but no, that would be absurd. Hahaha…or would it?? BUM-bum BUUMMMM!!!

So, after I had recovered, we walked around, shopped a bit, you know. But later we went to Spamalot, which was friggin’ HILARIOUS. It was basically a knockoff musical of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It also featured Clay Aiken as Sir Robin, but I think he gained some weight since American Idol; I’ve been wrong before, though, I guess it might be the fault of his new long hair and the extra padding in his armor costume.

So yeah, I got a cow throwing tee shirt, and the soundtrack (which was funny as bell), and then we went to a little Italian restaurant, and I ate a whole pizza (Hey, I’m 5’9’’ and still growing, okay, so shut up!), and then we went back to the restaurant and went to bed (FINALLY).

Okay, so mi madre y yo are goin to New York City for a few days, because we’re awesome like that, and it’s so flippin’ exciting, because I’ve wanted to go to NYC since I was, like, 6, and I first read the Princess Diaries series *heehee*

So yeah, this morning I woke up at 6 o’clock (AM) and almost died of exhaustion, because I didn’t finish packing until 10:30 and didn’t get to sleep until 11, so I got 7 hours of sleep (ugh). Then I nearly had a panic attack (yippee!) because I forgot to pack my toothbrush and crap until the very last minute.  Then my mom and I left to go to the train station, and as we got, like, a mile away from our house, my papi called and told my mom that the train was broken, so now we’re on a bus, which will meet up with another train in Washington D.C., and so while we were sitting in the train station parking lot on the charter bus (? a bus in the train station parking lot…hmmm….) there were all these awesome starlings and chimney sweeps swooping around, and it was just barely sunrise, and so I decided to write about it, because I can. Here goes:

 

I looked to the east, at the sun-soaked sunrise. The horizon was a citrusy-orange, like fresh orange juice, streaked with pale grey clouds.  Directly above, misty purple clouds were fringed in deep magenta as the newborn sun tickled its wispy edges. Beyond those wisps, more pink puffs led higher into the sky, like a vertical cobblestone pathway.

A silhouetted tree’s black, barren fingers rose to the sky, as in jubilation. Behind it, the spire of a church grazed the sky, perfectly straight. A broadcast tower scratched at the clouds, its latticework completely covered in flocks of starlings. More birds swooped around on air currents, their formations shifting and transforming like jellyfish in motion…

 

So yeah, that was poetic, right? Psh, you know it. You’re jealous of my incredible writing skillllzzzzzzz

And, so yup, I’m checkin out now, more later today, when we get off this infernal contraption and onto the less crampity train (CAN’T WAIT, AM FEELING CLAUSTROPHOBIC FOR FIRST TIME IN LIFE…!)

Okay, so I know I haven’t blogged in a while, so lemme catch you up:

–I’m in high school now! Wooohoooo!!!

–I got blonde streaks in my hair (did i already say that? hmm…i got them redone, though)

–I got contacts

–I married Daniel Radcliffe (haha just kidding, but you totally believed me, didn’t you!)

–I got accepted into People to People, a government organization created to send young American ambassadors to other countries, blah blah blah. Anyways, I’ll be going to England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales for 3 weeks. And guess WHERE in England we’ll be going? Wait for it…BINGO! YES, LONDON! WOOT!

–I regained my obsessive obsession with Harry Potter, and I am even now wearing my lightning bolt necklace, and I have my awesome plastic heart, which says HP with a lightning bolt down the center, in my pocket.

–I have fostered an abiding hatred for the book Twilight, and yet I really like the movie (?). Because the BOOK Twilight was dumb, the plot didn’t come in until the last 90 or so pages, plus Bella had little or no personality. And don’t even TRY to tell me it was because the book was written from her point of view, because Maximum Ride was written from Max’s point of view, and Max had plenty of personality. But the MOVIE Twilight introduced the plot in the beginning, plus it was hilarious to watch all of the awkwardness between Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen) and the actress who played Bella (I think her name is Kristin something, but I’m not sure), and all of the crazy fan-girls in the front of the theater at the movies were HILARIOUS because, for example, the first time Edward came onscreen, I swear, every single one of them sighed in unison. No joke. There was this thunderous “Oooohhh!” from the front of the theatre, and I was sitting in the bench seat in the back with mi amiga Suze, and we both turned and looked at each other and burst out laughing. Yup. Good times.

So yeah, now it’s almost Thanksgiving, and we’re in the car, driving to some far-away place, where I am beginning to doubt the existence of WiFi, to see family friends for the great feast (yay!). But the good news is, I’ll be seeing my friend Anne, who I haven’t seen for, oh, I don’t know, four years maybe? Five? So that’ll be fun…J

And we just stopped at the Glory Days Grill, and there was a yummylicious waiter who looked like Will Turner from PotC (haha lol jkjkjk) and I almost got sick from eating the huge, enormous All American Burger (ughhhh) and everyone made me feel guilty, because they wanted to go to Red Lobster, and I refused, because the smell of fish makes me sick L. Don’t ask me why. Okay, you can ask, and I’ll assume you will, so here’s a possible reason:

When I was very young, (my family can’t agree on an age), we went to Red Lobster. Being a sweet innocent little child, I pretended to make friends  with the lobsters in the tank in the waiting area. So, when we finally sat down, my mom ordered lobster, not aware of my attachment to the poor things. When it came out, still looking like a lobster, I started sobbing, and we had to leave. And the smell of seafood, which is what Red Lobster smells like, has made me sick ever since. The end.

So yeah, life is as normal. Except this HUGE crush I have on this guy who is MY AGE and who is not a celebrity, which is a refreshing change. However, I will not post his name, for fear he is reading this *gasp* which would be horrifyingly embarrassing, seeing as I am feeling very boring and drained of creativity right now, one of the many effects of high school. But whateva, I’m out foooooolz J

okay, so this was something i typed up on my computer this summer because i didnt have internet, and then i forgot about it, and now i just found it again. here goes!

So, today we drove to my mom’s hometown: Old Forge, New York. It took us almost an entire day to get there, but whatever. So, four weird things happened: first, my favorite song, “Dancing With Myself” by Billy Idol, came on the Sirius. This was weird, because I’ve never heard it on the radio before. And it was played twice! In one day! But they played the crappy-recording version, so it sucked. But I still flipped out in the back seat, and started dancing like crazy, and wouldn’t stop until my dad smacked me in the head. IT WAS AWESOME! (The song, not my dad smacking me in the head)

Second, we were in this parking lot in a rest area (because my brother drank the entire jug of OJ before we left the house) and I was walking across the road, and this truck driver, who was parked, honked at me! I didn’t get it until my dad flicked him off and muttered “perv.” It was so weird! I ended up flicking him off behind my back when we walked back across the road, but I don’t think he was looking. Idiot.

Thirdly, I got strawberry jelly on my shirt and it came off with just water. It was, like, supernatural, because it was dark red strawberry jam on a white shirt. But it came off really quickly, with water! Crazy, I know. But I swear on my left little toe that I’m telling the truth.

Yeah, oh, and fourth, my mom finally figured out that I like Daniel Radcliffe, because today in the restaurant, at lunch, we were talking about my unmade clay jewelry company, and she was all like, “Yeah, we could advertise with McDonalds. Then, like, people would call you and you would get famous.” I was just like, whatever, but then she simulates a call between me and Ronald McDonald, and she says, “Yeah, hey, this is Ron…” but she didn’t finish because my brother screamed to the whole restaurant, “Ron Weasley called Allison?!?!” and everyone in the restaurant turned and looked at him. BTW, my real name is Allison. Thought you might wanna know. Anyway…so my mom continues the phony phone conversation on this new track, “Hey, Allison, this is Ron Weasley, um, my friend Harry wants to know if you’ll go out with him, even though you’re a Muggle, um, yeah…” in this really stupid English accent. And I laughed so hard I sprayed raspberry iced tea all over her, and so she continues, “Oh, and Harry’s Muggle counterpart, Daniel Radcliffe, wants to go out with you to, um, yeah,” At this I almost screamed, I swear. I couldn’t breathe for, like, five minutes. So yeah, more later.

I found the trailer for the next Harry Potter movie! It’s the real one! I swear! Here’s the link:
