While I was on my 2 week trip, I happened to find a Disney store in an El Paso mall. In that Disney store was a 1.5' Perry the Platypus plushie that was on sale for $8.00. I have to admit that from the whole vacation, that plushie was the greatest souvenir I got. In all, maybe the greatest souvenir I have ever brought home! It may seem like I'm overreacting, but that Plushie is something I have been looking for for a while. So what is your favorite souvenir? It could be something someone gave you, or something you got for yourself. Why is it your favorite? Does it have sentimental value? Where did the souvenir come from?

I may not like packing, but unpacking is even worse, in my opinion. I finally counted up all my Band-Aids in my many First-Aid kits. It turns out I have just over 200.

Anyone remember my original theory that I'd be in a car for 4 trips, each 8 hours long? I was waaaay off. As in, the trips were 18 hours. WTF is wrong with my brain and its math idiocy? Sooooo much happened that I can't bring myself to take 3 hours to type it all up. All I can say is that I didn't realize how much I missed El Paso until I got there.

I'm using my cousin's internet while I can. I love my southern family! They are the best relatives I could hope for. I'm really excited since I'll be heading to El Paso tomorrow to complete the rest of my trip~

I blew an entire neighborhood to bits with varying amounts of explosives and several redneck cousins. BEST AMERICA DAY EVAR. When we set off the huge fireworks that lit up the sky, my whole family and I started belting out the national anthem.

Okay, then~ Packing is done and I need to put my laptop in its bag! I'll be offline for a few days, but I'll have internet in El Paso, so I'll see ya' then!

Hurray for raiding a McDonald's at 2 in the morning for the Pokemon Happy Meal Toys. I hate packing for trips. I always put it off until the last minute. Then, I usually end up taking a bunch of stuff I don't need, and forgetting the stuff I do need.

[/quote] If I remember Gavin's description of the experience, it went something like: *Cashier or someone starts speaking to Gavin in German* Gavin: Oh, I'm sorry. I don't speak German. Cashier/whatever: I've never heard of a German that can't speak German. Gavin: *facepalm* Was that even Gavin? Hmmm... Maybe it was Korey? I dunno. I just remember the conversation.

At the end of the week, I will be out of the job. My boss only needed me there while his son was getting his college schedule changed to evening classes instead of day ones. I knew this, but I didn't expect the schedule to be changed that quick. Oh well, it all works out for the best anyway.

[quote name='Ducky' timestamp='1309191923' post='708165'] Looks like Chibs has sold her drugs to those poor, innocent bovines. Shame on you, Chibi. PETA's preparing their counterattack. [/quote] I have no drugs, and cows have no money. Bring it. I've been looking for a reason to go after them! :P AUGH. COWS. The first few hours were okay, 'cause I was babysitting cows on a horse. But after lunch, it was just kind of boring.

[quote name='CaNz' timestamp='1309162052' post='708155'] this is the second time I have heard about this cow-nightmare thing. I have only seen a couple of these things in real life... but I thought they were kinda cute (and really really smelly) [/quote] No, it's about a job. And now I smell cows everywhere.

Home for lunch, I smell like manure.

[quote name='Pumpkin' timestamp='1308003415' post='707962'] [size="2"][font="Comic Sans MS"]Do you have a nearby relative/sibling that would be able to take you in perhaps? [/font][/size] [/quote] If I did, you can bet I'd be there already. [quote name='Drizzt' timestamp='1309186463' post='708162'] I'm walking into this waaaaay after the fact, but I do want to tell you that I wish you the best with this Chibi. Either way, good luck Chibi and keep us posted. A lot of people post a bad situaiton and never follow up so you're left wondering if they're okay or if everything worked out for them. [/quote] Thanks, Drizzt. :) The problem with a third party is that my parents are rediculously against anyone knowing our families problems. When a school guidance counselor called my dad in to talk about a problem with my sister, my dad exploded. He cornered her and demanded to know why "some [i]stranger[/i]" was asking that he skip work to talk about my sisters emotional issues. She was forced to talk about it without a third party. The only reason that my sister is being left alone is because my dad doesn't want to get her serious counseling(again with the refusal to bring in a third party) and he didn't have any idea about how to deal with her problem. Unfortunately for me, my parents believe they know everything about homosexuality and "what it does to people." I'm doing okay, though. I'm planning to move into an apartment with a friend when I turn 18. Even then I'm worried that they'll come after me or something, since I'm sure my mom will end up telling my dad about my homosexuality when I move out.

If I sleep, I think I'll have nightmares about cows.

You know how hyperactive I am! The last thing I need is a drug! Besides, I make my money by selling holiday greeting cards and I plan to work at a pet store this summer! I have a source of income, so I have no reason to become a kingpin! Except for the awesome suits like in Scarface... BUT I DIGRESS.

That sounds positively hideous. FFFFFFFFFFFF-!!!!!!!! Why am I not in El Paso yet?!
