Weird

So, friends, I painted my fingernails today.

First time in around two/two and a half years.

It's an odd sensation. 

That is all.

Moving, Driving, and Vegas, Oh My!!

I believe that is the only fitting title.

So... 

A number of things have happened since my last entry, as most of you are aware of. I'm just going to make a list. I feel that will keep this information organized and easier to follow.

#1 I moved. 

Yup. I'm back in the 801 for reals. It's weird. It's home, but at the same time, it's not home. The residential sector of my mind is on overload right now. It's fine, though. I'm figuring I'll come around. Once I get a job, find some sort of a routine, and regain a social life, I'll feel better.

#2 The drive. 

I (and when I say I, I mean we, and when I say we, I mean me, my mom, Aly, Sphinx, Maggie, and Evie) drove from Orlando to Salt Lake. Wow. We did a crap load of stuffs, though. I especially enjoyed touring the USS Alabama, and Kansas City. On the battleship, I felt like Link in a dungeon. Only, in place of the Master Sword I had a cell phone. Oh yeah, I got lost. It was great! Kansas City was a beautiful city. It surprised me. I'll probably live there one day, or visit for a significant amount of time. Anywho, the drive took us almost five days. It was quite a trek.


This is the battleship USS Alabama. It was so bad ass. I loved it. It was so much fun to get lost within her. That sounded better in my head...

The arch in St. Louis. It was neat to see something you've seen only pictures of, in real life. It was as giant as I thought it was...

Ah, yes... Arrowhead Stadium. Home of the Kansas City Chiefs. Maybe one day I'll see a game there. But, for now, this was a rare treat to just see it from a distance. Go Chiefs!!

#3 Vegas

After a week of being home, I was crazy enough to get back in the car. We took a little quest to Las Vegas. One of my most favorite destinations. I love Vegas. So much. We walked almost the entire strip. We dined at Nine Fine Irishmen, and Denny's at two a.m. (well, my mom and I did, anyway). I sang karaoke totally sober, and ate in Paris right in front of the Bellagio fountains. My mom and I spent an afternoon with dolphins, lions, and tigers, while Andrea and Aly took part in the Star Trek convention. The wax museum was quite entertaining, as well, as it always is. 


Here we are playing video poker and receiving free drinks. I love vegas! I won! But, then lost.

Bah ha ha! Whilst in Vegas I learned how to tie a cherry stem in a knot using only my tongue! This is why one travels to the far away land of Las Vegas... To learn these useless, albeit AWESOME, ways...

Ah, yes... How does one resist the temptation of this photo... If any of you can figure out how to just walk by and NOT do this, please let me in on the secret!! Wait... disregard that last statement. This is funny.

Aly was pooped. Vegas is hard work for one so young. Apparently my will power for not taking hilarious photos is weak. I don't care. This is great. Love you, Al.

Many more photos can be found upon my facebook, if you so choose to take a gander over there. Also included are: my final Disney parade, my final night of work, my last park outings and my going away "party". 

That is all. 

Rennik I miss you.
