Scrambled Eggs

The last two days have been quite busy. :)/:( (I don't know if busy is a good thing or a bad thing. ><')

On Friday I attended my first "real" Quincenera. And by real, I mean they went ALL OUT. First was the mass which was all done up.....but basically no one attends the mass because, well, its mass. Basically everyone there was part of the court (as in, all the girls and all their partners) and some family. I can't say I totally enjoyed it. I hadn't realized it's been so long I went to church, I had no idea what to say! ^^' (Didn't help that it was in Spanish either :P) The girl's dress was pretty nice. Super princessy but all in blue. What I was shocked was how much weight she lost just from the picture on the invite! She looked COMPLETELY different!

Later was the party, which I was SUPER Psyched about! I couldn't WAIT to get on the dance floor! .....Which was closed for the first hour and a half we were there. They took forever doing the pictures and then they did all the little things that signal the transition from girl to woman (but really they just added extra stuff to do which just seemed weird). Then came the court's dances.....which they were all terrible at. XD They messed up a lot, even though they were basic steps, and were never all on time. Finally came the dancing! ...And nobody danced. There were two good songs, but an empty dance floors. Even then I would have gone on.....save the cameras ever waiting for a victim to film. Yuck. Then the band came on and they were TERRIBLE. Too loud, whinny saxes, and no one knew what they were saying. Just terrible. Needless to say we left early, and I never got to dance. :(

Yesterday, my aunt came over to breakfast and the strangest thing happened. The doorbell rang and I was sent to answer it. There was this girl, only a couple of years older than me, super skinny and European, asking if we or anyone else in the neighborhood had rooms to rent. O.o Apparently, she had come from Lithuania with some friends and were staying in a motel, but the motel was too expensive so she and one friend needed a room to rent. Of course I said no, and when I recounted the story to the table, my aunt (who's a police woman) said it was fishy, so she ran out to talk to her. XD When she came back, things just got weirder. Apparently, the girls planned to sell books (like text books) door-to-door and needed a place to stay for a while. Worried that she might be in trouble or got stuck in some scam, my aunt went back out to find her...but she was gone. Hopefully she's ok. :/

After that, we went to the store (because I broke my glasses ^^''') and I bought some cool colored hair extensions. :D I was gonna buy temporary dye, but these were on sale so I figured I'd try em. They are pretty cool ^^ I like them. Then we had a barbeque at my other aunt's house and I looovveee their dog Petra! She reminds me of Kiko XD (Even the jumping on me as soon as she thinks I'm leaving :P).

After dinner, we decided to go watch Snow White and the Huntsman. I was dragging my feet the whole way there because I knew exactly how it'd be: cool special effect, an average plot, and Kristen Stewart would ruin it all. Sure enough: Kristen Stewart had the SAME face in 9 out of 10 scenes! I mean, every time! A giant troll? Duh -o-. A majestic fairy? Duh -0- Childhood love? Duh -0- About to die? Duh -0- Jeez. All I wanted to do was laugh! The Queen on the other hand was totally AMAZING. Charlize Theron OWNED it. See: just replace Kristen and it would have been fine--just like I said before. >.<'

Other than that: we've been looking for ways for my cousin in Canada, Krystal, to come over. The plan was to drive up to Toronto and meet her (she lives in Montreal) but now she's flying straight in. So I no get to go to Canada. :( Super sad.

So overall, busy has equaled disappointment. Whatever. We'll see how the horse races go today :P

Have a better day than I have been!
