It's raining it's pouring (vacation to Florida- day two)

Hello again! Surprised to see me so soon? me too. Anyway, day two is complete! It's like, two minutes till 9 here, and I figured why not blog, right?

So, lot's of exciting stuff happened AGAIN.  here's a list.

• there were, apparently, tornadoes on the same stretch of road we drove, only a few hours after we were there yesterday. 
• 4 semi trucks nearly hit us, because there are terrible truckers around here.
• we went to Nashville for the second time in my life, so that's cool.
• the rain was so severe yesterday there were practically lakes in the cornfields

the world's like, most gorgeous fields of what we presume is flax, basically seas of yellow flowers. Wanna see?

sorry it blurred, it was taken while driving.

• tornado warnings! FUN
• we saw Metropolis- HOME OF SUPERMAN (or at least we drove past it.)

So, I have to go now because I'm totally wiped out, so I'll sign off with a short poem written by me.

Trucking by Rhiannon Bayer

I've never really been a fan

of driving near truck drivers.

They go too fast,

and whiz on past,

and never use their manners.

Bye!

did someone say Mark Twain? (Florida 2014- day 1)

So, day one of the Florida 2014 vacation has finally ended in Hannibal Missouri- hence the title, as it is the birthplace of- you guessed it- Mark Twain.

After driving pretty much nonstop since we left around... 9:30-ish, we finally got here to our hotel at 8 pm. We faced lots of crazy stuff, from mini-meltdowns over bumpy roads to hour-long rain/thunderstorms.

this is just a mini-update, as it is really late (okay it's 11 but that feels late. I dunno, I'm on a good sleep schedule now so...) anyway, sleep time.

Bye then!

Honey, I'm home!

So, I'm back in Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes. 

My plane landed at like, 6 or something tonight, which is good. As annoying as my family can get (and that's REALLY annoying. Just cause I don't blog how childish and idiotic they get doesn't mean they aren't childish and idiotic, because they are) I did miss them. Anyway, now I'm watching a House (Ya know, the doctor-y show with the drug addict guy) marathon and chillin' in my ASU (Arizona State University) hoodie. So that's cool. 

Also, it rained earlier. I would've taken pictures, but my camera is dead. I forgot the charger on the trip so I had to make one fully charged battery and one at 50% last for 11 days. I succeeded, because I'm that frick fraken cool.

So, who wants a list? I like lists.

Things I did In Arizona I've never done before

• Flown on an Airplane by myself
• stayed with a kickass person in Arizona (said kickass person is named McKenna)
• driven up a mountain
• discovered I do NOT like driving up mountains.
• Discovered I like flying in airplanes DEFINITELY a lot more than I like driving.
• had 3 of my favorite TV characters die in one day
• gone swimming outside in April without dying of frost bite.
• flown on an airplane by myself for the second time ever.

So yeah. Also, me and Kenna wrote a poem together, entitled Broken. Here it is.

This isn’t me.

I’m trespassing in your life,
draining you of everything,
and wearing a mask molded of
my skin.
~
Don’t touch the fire,
we’d rather die a slower death.
I am a piece of hot metal,
digging deep down into your skin
and branding you with my fingerprints.
mine. you’re mine.
why do i feel guilty for hurting you?
l wanted to feel something
for a while it was pleasure,
but now i can only feel pain.
~
You scarred me with invisible blades,
and seared my skin
like pouring acid
over a thousand wounds.

Why do you feel pleasure hurting me?

You stand on the edge
of glass and destruction,
the soul barrier blocking the two,
but you only fuel the feud.

The only reason
we aren’t broken
is because you break me.
~
I ripped out your heart 
and i consumed you
i unraveled you until you were nothing but
dust and blood and
fragments of soul.

somehow, it was never enough.

i could have told you
everything, and 
i could have dressed your wounds.

i can’t apologize to ashes.
it’s your turn.
kill me.

then we both will be free.

The squiggly line thingy separates points of view as well as the poet. The odd numbered parts- the first and third- are by me, and the even are by Mckenna.

So yeah, I've got to go try (and fail) to readjust to Minnesota time and temperate.

Bye!!! (SORRY I LOOK SO BAD IN THE PICTURE. I LIKE NEVER WEAR MAKEUP SO I LOOK REALLY UGLY GENERALLY ESP RIGHT NOW OKAY)

Signing off,

hehe hi

I think it's safe to say that I  suck at remembering to blog. Even I know that.

I've STARTED blog posts like 4 times since I've got here but I'm too lame to keep writing. Anyway, so here this is.

Well, Arizona has been pretty freaking awesome so far.  The airplane ride was really cool, other than when I was terrified we would all die because of the fact it was raining part of the time...

this was like, two minutes before we took off. 

but it was all really cool, especially flying.

so that was all really great.

SO, let's flash forward to when I landed. The airport was HUGE, I mean like, really, really big. That may be because I'm a small town girl, but I don't think so. The place was a maze.

And then I saw McKenna. It was really, really cool seeing her again- it HAS been 9 months since we'd seen each other in real life.

that's her being really awesome

ANYWAY so after the touching reunion, we all went for pizza, which was really yummy. that's where the pic of Kenna was taken.

 

I'm not going to describe everything to you because that's like describing an entire week in a blog post which would take a long time. SO, instead I'm going to put a bunch of photos up, and captions what's happening in them. That way, I can show y'all my pictures, and not have to type so much. Win-win. 

we did lots of photography.

McKenna was on sale at a candy store (ALL the chicks were 30% off! ;) )

 

Lots of other stuff, too. We drove up a mountain (and 3/4 of the people in the car, including myself, REALLY freaked out. None of us are good with heights, as it seems.)

We went swimming, we shopped at a bookstore (kenna got Star trek, and I got a Stephen King novel).

We took a ton of pictures while hiking,

She's really cute.

Kenn also got pictures of me, but I am like, quite literally the least photogenic person in the universe, and therefor I look dumb in like, all of them.

So, I'm going to go now, because I've spent like 3 hours on this blog post because I keep getting distracted and I really ought to post it before I forget it and just wasted all this time for nothing.

Bye!
