Sakura's "Vacation" "Journal"
(I went to my grandparent's "cabin" in Maine. I say "cabin" because it's really a three bedroom house.)
Day 1 - SaturdayMy dad woke me up at 5:30am to get ready. I provided the cat with surplus food, visited the chickens, and then sat in the car for half an hour while mom
dicked around got ready.
We stopped at Cabella's (a huge, awesome hunting store/taxidermy museum), but my brother forgot his camera- so no pics for you! D<
My brother and I wandered around and got slightly lost among the shotgun shelves, but we noted how it was a good choice of residence in the event of a zombie apocalypse. The best, probably.
We arrived at the house around 10am and found my uncle (age 21) and three of his friends eating breakfast. I got my own bedroom with a bed smaller than my own, but it looked uber ******** kawaii with the nerd blankets and pillows I brought + the Lion King sheets I found in the closet there. I read a book for an hour, then took a nap.
I was woken up for lunch (and made sammiches for all the mens) then played Kingdom Hearts for a while (Ventus is amazing at Rumble Racing. Js).
At 6pm I tried to get online from my PSP using an access point named "Narrow Escape" it was unnerving (but less so than Slaughter Beach and Killens Pond), and didn't work anyhow.
My parents and grandparents watched Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy while I playing Kingdom Hearts some more. Then I played Scrabble with Dad and his parents for a couple hours. I got in trouble for trying to get a Triple Word Score by turning Grandma's "Tiff" into "Tiffa"
Grandma and Grandpa kept arguing over words my grandpa thought were real, but no one believed him about. It was the most intense (and loudest) Scrabble match I've ever been a part of.
Day 2- SundayI woke up at 6, but stayed in bed until 9, when I heard people downstairs talking about pancakes. Before I went down one of the boys scolded me for making my bed and being "too clean." I went downstairs and ate pancakes while my dad and grandma argued about the nutritional value of the two different butters on the table (one had Canola oil, the other one didn't).
I got bored with the book I brought (it had once again turned into porn) and took a look at the bookshelf. Everything was about bird watching or knot tying. I found one called "Strategy and Tactics" but it turns out it was about golf.
I went to a huge public garden with my mother and Grandma. My mother kept stopping to smell the lilacs (they all ******** smell the same!)
I swear a saw a guy with a SIN tattoo: mom and Grandma disapproved.
Then we went shopping. We needed "Bisquick, Sausages, and Tomatoes" and we were "only getting what we need"
We bought corn, Cheez-its, iced tea, soda, Hawaiian Punch, gum, more gum, tomatoes, bacon, Bisquick, apples, oranges, whipped cream, and sausages.
Also Macaroni and cheese. We didn't know how much to buy ( "Three boxes?" "Try four." )
A random shopper told us "Go for five." "We have 10 people." "Ooh. Seven, then." "We have five young men aged 16 to 21" "..... Here's what you do: Buy 10 pounds of noodles and a 5lb block of velveeta and make it yourself."
(We bought 6 boxes, all the boys were excited and said they wanted some, but none of them ate any).
When we came home said men had built a potato cannon. We fired 30+ pounds of spuds into the lake.
Grandpa watched golf and yelled at the TV while Dad and Grandma argued about politics.
People making up words during Scrabble is a huge problem.
Day 3- MondayWoke up at 4, stayed there until 9- when I smelled bacon.
I ate some bacon and eggs and toast and watermelon, then played Crisis Core until it was time to go home. Mom and grandma complained about my uncle's friends for about an hour.
The iPod I brought only has, like, 20 songs on it, so I stopped listening after a while and played Final Fantasy some more, but then my PSP died, so I stared at people in the other cars.
We stopped at the Kittery Trading Post- and I was bored, but I petted a stuffed moose and saw a T-Shirt rack filled with shirts that had words printed on them in Papyrus. It started a boxing match between my brother and I.
We had lunch at some seafood place that charged $4.50 for a drink. The fish was yummy, though.
We came home and I petted my cat, and visited the chickens, and went to get my dog from my other grandparents' house.
Then I came home and told Angelo I would write this, then I wrote this.
The end.
