Been a long time since I wrote in this thing. But now its 2 AM and I'm avoiding going to sleep, even though I have to wake up at 9 to go to gaby's quince practice at 10; oh well. So now much has been up lately, I just got back from the keys today. I'm so sunburned that I'm purple, and I have an imprint of my henna tattoo on my face [that's what I get for sleeping on my wrist...] but I had fun.
Oh and there was a little scare with my back where I could've been paralyzed and couldn't do guard, but that's all cleared up now, and I'm free to do guard. :D
I had a dream last night, we drove out to see Las Vegas.
Not really. If you've never heard that song, now you're completely lost. So today I ate lunch at the hardrock cafe in Key West, and it was awesome, cause they have a bunch of cool stuff on display, like Kurt Cobain's shirt, and Nikki Sixx's jacket/a guitar he smashed [I LOVE NIKKI SIXX<333333333333333333333333333]. Plus the music they played in there was really good.
Also, I love street performers. Key West has a ton of them at night. THere was this one guy named Reid [who was very obviously gay, but had nice arms] who balanced a freakin ladder in his mouth! How amazing is that?! You also have your basic guitar players, people who walk on glass, people who spin stuff thats on fire. I guess its not your basic stuff if you've never been to Key West and seen it. There really is no place like Key West. Everyones attitude there is like hey, idgaf, I do whatever I want! The lady that did my henna tattoo was really nice. She was telling me about how her husband does henna tattoos during the day on Duval street, and then she does them in the square at night. They've lived in Key west for 15 years, and they have two kids. It's weird to think that some people live there all year round.
And surprisingly, the whole trip was drama free, except when my brother's henna tattoo got smudged when my dad grabbed him by the arm to keep him from walking into the street, and my brother cried.
Also, there were some pretty gnarly bathrooms in the rest stops we stopped in. Like seriously disgusting, get STDs from the toilet seats gross. But I suppose when you're on a 4 hour trip and halfway through you've had three sunkists and you're dying for a bathroom, you can't afford to be picky.
We went snorkeling the other day, and we saw a bunch of huge fish, and then we saw a ton of little tiny fish, and then we saw a barracuda, which scared me, cause it looked really mean, and then plus after that I had the song Barracuda stuck in my head.
We also walked around this cool old fort in the Dry Tortugas. It's kinda similar to the one in St.Augustine. It also has a pretty little lighthouse on it [and of course I got the song Lighthouse by The Hush Sound stuck in my head after that].
Alright now I'm just rambling. So ill end this, and you can pretend you didn't stop reading after the first paragraph. ;)
