Since my last update, I went to my grandparents for my mom's family's annual Christmas party, which miraculously enough, everyone made it to this year, except for Elise. Getting to see everyone again was great, especially since I haven't seen Jimmy, Ryan, and Alexa in near forever. The one point of excitement was that my cousin Kristin's baby, Mia, fell off the couch and broke her arm about the day we got there, and had a little cast on the rest of the time. Sadly, I didn't find out about it till the next when I saw her and was like "*points at Mia's arm* Buh?" Apparently, no one realised her arm was broken until Kristin was tying to get her readt for bed. I got a couple of gift certificates and some money from the family.
Then we came home, and my dad came over, and we had our Christmas at home. I got a ton of CDs, a anthology book on Vampires, The Last Unicorn novel, some clothes, and the main thing I wanted, a little mp3 player, so I can take my emo music on the go. :P
Then it was time to head to Ohio, which is where I am now, to visit Gemma and Henry, and which has been absolutely great. They are tall, though, and I feel teeny here. >> I'll write a more detailed soon, but for now, the basics: Gemma and Henry are SICK CUTE, and they're both absolutely awesome, and of course, treating me like the royalty of Prunetucky that I am. We had a bit an adventure right after I arrived, when Henry's car stopped working in the middle of the freeway, and we had to wait for a tow truck, and the cops came up and sat behind us with their lights flashing. We've basically spent the visit hanging out and watching TV and on the internet, which has been a lot of fun as well. Hopefully, Gemma has not realised how boring I really am!
The other bit of excitement was that while I was talking on my computer in the bathroom (basically, their stolen wireless only really works with my laptop in their bedroom and half of the hall. The bathroom is right next to the bedroom), I suddenly started feeling nauseated, dizzy, and really heavy, passed out, and woke up on the floor with a hole in my head, a scrape from landing on my glasses on the bridge of my nose, and a scratch on my chin. Ow. Apparently, Gemma heard the crash. She called the paramedics to make sure I didn't have a concussion, and as I understand, they thought I might be coming down with a stomach bug or something--that my blood pressure is naturally low from how skinny I am, and a sudden dip could make me pass out. >< Cue fussing!
We went to the zoo the day after that, which was great! Except that it was really cold and rainding practically the whole time we were there, so Gemma and I were kind of scurrying through the time to the indoor exhibits. It was still really impressive, though, I'll say. Today we went to the aquarium here as well, and that was also very impressive. The shark tank was amazing, and I got some nifty pictures. After we left the aquarium, we went to hang out at a Barnes and Noble to wait for Henry to pick us up. I was looking for certain fiction novels, but they didn't have any of the ones that I was looking for, so I ended up picking up a couple non-fiction books, including The Wars of Irish Kings, which looks pretty interesting.
But tomorrow I must be flying home, which makes me very sad, as I've had a great time here, although I imagine they'll probably be glad to be rid of me for a bit. *cackles*
Okay, that was longer than I expected. Nice! |
