Today was such a fun day. At first I thought it was gonna be regular shopping, but then...

So I woke up. I listened to my CD Player for around half-an-hour, and then yawned 20 times and fell asleep again. Then I woke up and did my daily routines. It wasn't until noon I found out that I was going to go apple picking. With Vanessa. OMG yay! I was overjoyed. But FIRST, we had to go to Auntie Karen's house to fix her modem thingy.

On our way there, my brother ran over a squirrel. gonk

She gave me a Japanese box and a Japanese doll she got as a gift. We tried our hardest but couldn't fix the modem thingy, so we said we'll come back another time. So then we went home. Oh wait, let's rewind for a sec. So then Eddie (Vanessa's daddy) called for the fourth time that day. Okay, fast forward. So we were at home, and after a few moments, we began driving to the post office. We dropped off some mail and then we headed towards 50 Swan Road. During the trip, there was at least five calls from Eddie.

We arrived in Smithfield a bit later. There was a humungo plaza and then we called Eddie and asked where he is. Since he didnt' arrive yet, my bro drove to Target to take a crap. When we came back out, they were at McDonalds. By the time we got TO McDonalds, they were at CVS. So we drove to CVS and I hyperly waved to them. We lead them to 50 Swan Road, where the Jaswell Farm was. That was our apple-picking place.

We greeted each other and then walked in. There were some pumpkins off to the side, but there were real small. When we got to the entrance of the orchard, the guy explained to us more about the orchard. After that, we walked in and began picking apples. We walked around and plucked apples, and then my brother found a really big apple on top of the tree. He broke off a stick and began poking at it, telling me to catch it. I nodded and then I looked up and opened my arms. The apple snapped off the branch, and it fell RIGHT through the hole between my hands (apparently it was smaller than I thought) and hit me right on the face.

After a 5-second delay, my eye began to get watery. It dried after a while, but it still hurted. Ouchie. We picked a few more apples, and my mom shined one for me and I ate it. It tasted a little different, but it was Macintosh Apples. Then again, I go to the super market and buy apples, regardless of what kind. After eating and laughing with Vanessa and my brother, we got out and looked at the side where they were giganto pumpkins. Vanessa felt like running through the pumpkin field, but we said just to take pictures. After taking a few pics, we went to the supermarket next to the field, and the stuff was hecka expensive.

We didn’t buy anything, but we took Vanessa with us. Her parents and auntie went to her pawpaw (grandma)’s house. First, we went to Target and bought Mountain Dew Livewire Icee. We sat down and talked for an hour. We talked about Chinese names and food going down our air tube. After that we drove back to Rhode Island, not really talking. We dropped our parents at home, and drove to the park, wanting to go to the playground. (things kept going down our air tube u_u)

I saw Swan Boats, and suddenly I felt like going on one. So we did. $5 per person, and we took the last swan boat there was. We put on our life jackets (which was really dirty, by the way) and my brother walked on first. It wobbled a bit, then I got on. Then Vanessa did. They were enjoying themselves pedaling, and I was enjoying myself looking at the ducks. I felt like pedaling too, so then me and my bro switched spots. It wasn’t exactly easy, it took at least 2 minutes. The boat was wobbling like crazy and we risked tipping over.

But then I got on his spot and starting pedaling, finding it really easy and relaxing. Two times I thought I saw dead ducks, but it was actually only logs and this floating thing (dangit, I forgot what it was called). We almost hit ducks around 10 times, and around half-way back, Vanessa got this AMAZING (*cough*) idea. She wanted us to pedal BACKWARDS. And we did, and we did go backwards. My brother eventually stopped us (before we crashed on shore). Then Vanessa wanted to steer. Again, we almost crashed on shore. Then we pedaled back to shore, getting off. It was so fun. Then we went to the playground. It was filled with little kids, and Vanessa says she HATED little kids. So we left.

We passed by the dome-thingy at the park. There were a few kids there, but we stopped to play. We opened the trunk to get our Frisbee, finding out we didn’t have one. So we drove to Wal Mart to get Frisbees. Me and Vanessa went to the bathroom, she was fascinated by automatic toilets and sinks. After finding out that the hand dryer thing puts germs on your hands, she used a paper towel. She was also fascinated by the way she pulled it out. We took 10 minutes looking around for toys, but all we found was a Poof Ball (soft foam-ish football). We looked at fishies, the left. We got Watermelon Bubblicious and Dentyne Vanilla Spearmint gum while we passed by.

We then drove back to the dome-thingy, and then began walking down the hill. Vanessa was so hyper, she RAN there. Me and my brother walked slowly, but before we walked 10 steps, she already arrived at the dome-thingy. Wowwie. Anyways, we played catch for around 10 minutes. Then we played tag. After running around and sweating a lot, Vanessa hurt her knee. Aww. =( She rested for a few moments as the three of us looked at the sunset. We did that for around 10 minutes, and then we played catch with the Poof Ball for 5 minutes. Also, I accidentally spit my watermelon gum on the end of her dreams. Euck. Sorry Vanessa. sweatdrop

My brother asked if I had my cards, and I said no. So we went to Dollar Tree and bought four decks of cards, two mini, two regular. Then we went to Vanessa’s grandma’s house. She explained what we did that day, and how fun it all was. We began our game of Big Two (alternate version of Poker), but we didn’t get to finish it. We had to eat dinner. I finished my dinner first, and kept going to eat ham. sweatdrop Vanessa tested the small piano in the living room. Then we played war. Lucky went from me to her to me to her to me, and I won. =D We continued our game of Big Two, and my cousin won, my brother lost. We continued playing for a few more rounds, then stopped because Vanessa’s parents said they needed to leave. After flailing and whining for 5 minutes, I finally said yes and pouted.

Since her parents didn’t move, Vanessa went to grab a violin behind the TV. She tried to play it. One string was broke on the violin, and the stick thingy’s string broke too. So the noises it made was like wood against wood. She gave up, but found cute butterfly wing in the case. She kept it and put back the violin. While she did that, she found a cute little parrot toy. When you say something, it repeats what you said two times. So we took that out and played with it, Vanessa laughing and then laughing at her own laughing and laughing at that, and I tried to play “Ode of Joy” from my cellphone and it was weird. xd My brother had an argument with the parrot, saying it was stupid. Then it repeated itself, saying my brother was stupid.

After that, I laid my head on Vanessa’s lap and began talking to my bro about Texas and Japan. I said that I will go to Japan when I grow up, with two suitcases, a messager bag, and a backpack. I said I would buy manga, anime, games, and other stuff. My brother said I could get that here, but then I said I didn’t care, it liked it from Japan. He said Japanese people look down on those who has edgy Japanese. I dunno if that’s true, but I hope it’s not. Even when I do learn Japanese, it’s gonna be pretty edgy.

My cousin said that we could go to the same college when we got older, one in Japan. We could be exchange students! =D My hair got stuck on her butterfly ring twice, and that was when she had to go. I packed up and had to leave as well, so we hugged and walked outside to our cars. She said she wanted us to take her home, but she eventually had to go back to her car. We waved goodbye, and me and my bro went home. What a wonderful day. <3

And we will go pear-picking soon. ninja
