I've walked too many miles.

So, Universal Studios came and went like that. Too tired to even post any pictures. Some highlights:
  • Mummy Roller Coaster: SO WORTH IT. Underground pitch black roller coasters = thumbs up. Two thumbs up! Went on it three times. Twice in a row. Each time was just as good. If not, it seemed to get even better...
  • I've never felt so much like a kid going on the Jimmy Neutron, Shrek 4D, and Simpsons rides. Men In Black was cool too, got to shoot aliens! Some little girl in front of me got a score of 150k on that ride, you get points for hitting your alien target with laser guns. I only got 68k. Everyone else, <21k.>
  • I'm still mad about that.
  • And still mad.
  • Burns hurt.
  • My sunglasses tan came back..
  • They ran out of Churros at 5pm. Park closes at 6. I seriously walked for 10 minutes looking for one. Was at one stand, two left. Four people in front of me. Last one taken by the boy in front of me.. Curses!
  • I will find my Churro tomorrow. Watch me.
  • Pretty good time there. Interesting to note, LOTS of grad kids have their graduations there. Saw like hundreds of them from one? school. I felt so old. My sister, even older. She's done her undergrad this year, and she's watching little 17/18 year olds go to college.
  • Half of them are taller, bigger, and older looking than me. I fail.
So, today was our family's "break" day in between Universal and Disneyworld. Our break consisted of a full day's of shopping. Two outlets, 8 hours later, I come back with not too many purchases. I even started buying stuff for the hell of it!..Which brings me to..

My mom. I could write a book on her quirks. She would make a good fobby mother to laugh at in movies. She wants to lose weight, pouts that there's no salad around near the hotel. So we go to the outlet, dad and I get Subway. As we sit down, I look for where she is.. and omfgareyoucrazy?! pops into my head as I see her at..


..a fast food chinese place. HOW WILL THIS WOMAN EVER LOSE WEIGHT?! Not only that, she goes "LET ME WALK FOR ANOTHER HALF HOUR" at our second outlet. GRRRR. Fine. And because of her, I am now the owner of yet another pair of jeans. FRICKING HELL. My damn need to buy something has made me made stupid purchases. Even bought a Lacoste shirt. I am ashamed. I should return all of these purchases. I think my Australia dreams have made me frugal. Too frugal.

Red Lobster for dinner. I should note waiters/waitresses at Orlando restaurants are extremely nice.. To the point where it's like I want to be their friend! They are so easy to talk to, are attentive, and aren't afraid to make a joke. The ones back home aren't all like that. I think I'll be a waiter now. I want to make people have a good day. :)

Disneyworld tomorrow. Sister is overly excited. "I will hunt down every Disney character there is".. Great. Who will be her unwilling accomplice? Me.

At least I'll get some exercise. No more flip flops! Blisters galore from the straps. Back to le Chucks.

Oh, I was Barney-hunting at Universal. I will find that murderous purple dino one day. And sack him. Nightmarish creature.

  3. I know you'll flay me alive, Nelson, but I always thought Barney was a little ridiculous. I never wanted to listen to the big, fat, purple dinosaur...my cousins, on the other hand, liked him so I humoured them by not changing the channel.

    Sesame Street and Magic School Bus FTW!
