It's a little late, but here's the report of my 4th of July (or as I like to call it: America Day) weekend.
My family, Kita (

001010010) and I all went to Kissimmee to my crazy German Aunt Heidi's place for a 4th of July/BIRTHDAY BASH! for my Aunt Beth on Friday. The ride there was hell and dumb because my mom just HAD to bring the god damn dog with her.
( so I don't stretch your page )Anyway, back to the subject. So it's crowded in the van. This van was cheap and the thing barely has seats. What seats it does have are just kind of sitting on the side of the inside, and it seats two, so if there's more than that, they have to sit on the floor. Kita and I got the seat and Aaron, my brother, sat on a pillow next to us while the dog sat on my feet, so I had to push him off the whole time. On top of that, my dad plays music, so all his equipment was in the back of the van with us, and my mom had to pack way too much unnecessary shit like chairs in there as well, making less room to be comfortable in. It was also hot as hell, let me tell you.
We get there late at night. Like 9, and we're welcomed by my uncle Butch and his dog Misty, who immediately took a liking to barking at EVERYTHING AND NOTHING. So Kita and I got our bags and Aaron got mom's laptop and sought refuge in the den with the tv to discover that they had no wifi. Luckily Kita and I had opened tabs full of fic and a blank tegaki canvas so we could draw if we wanted to, so we had that, but damn did I miss the internet. Shit was kind of boring. My uncle brought in some poster board and asked me to make a sign saying "Over the hillbilly! Come down yonder!" or some weird redneck shit like that and I said okay after looking flabbergasted for a minute. Turns out he didn't supply me with markers, so I couldn't do it, thank goodness. I don't remember doing much after that but read fic and draw and eat, so lalala on to Saturday, America Day. Oh, wait. I do remember something. We were all in the den watching tv/reading fic/drawing and Aaron turned the tv on to this show called Scarred. It is the stupidest tv show I have ever seen. I don't even want to describe it. If you're curious, watch it yourself. OKAY NOW AMERICA DAY.
Kita and I got up I dunno when, but we ate lunch and a lot of people were already there, I think. I really don't remember. We didn't do much. Watched some tv. Then it was time to go swimming because we were bored and that's the only reason I really wanted to be there. So we go swimming, and it was nice and fun and there was a banana floaty that we kept to ourselves. Aaron played with it and made us laugh. Then people started getting in the pool, and the thing's tiny. There were babies and kids and old people in there and it was getting ridiculously crowded. At one point, my aunt Joyce delegated one of my cousin's babies off to Aaron, and the kid looked like Satan incarnate. That, or Al Capone. So we kept going "myeh, shee?" All mob boss like and laughing at this kid's devil face. By and by, shit got too crowded so we all got out and were hit with a SUDDEN NEED TO SLEEP so we all went back into the room Kita and I claimed as our own and FUCKING NAPPED. For like. Hours. It was awesome. Then there was nothing really to do, so guess what we did? Everyone: WATCH TV! We were lucky on that front because they had movies on demand so we got to watch a lot of things we hadn't seen before. We saw Wall-E, Transformers, The Virgin Suicides, and I think something else, I don't know. But damn we were up til three watching movies. Between Wall-E and Transformers, Kita and I took a walk around the neighbourhood and watched the fireworks going off. They were pretty, and a little far away, so they weren't too loud. We came back in and watched Transformers and The Virgin Suicides. Then all three of us went back into Kita and my room and watched Aladdin on her laptop and then we kicked Aaron out and went to bed.
Now, Sunday, the craziest thing happened. I WOKE UP BEFORE KITA. In the 7 or so years I have known her, I have never woken up before her. Aunt Heidi kept coming in and out of our room and stepping all over me, and I had to pee, so I decided to just get up. Kita had been talking about how she'd been really sleepy lately, so I let her sleep. I got up around ten and she got up around 11. We ate breakfast and then left, thank god. That was one of the more boring weekends of my life. At least the downtime was, and there was a lot of that.
Oh and remember Misty? She barked the whole weekend. I wanted to tape her mouth shut.
Kita and I also brought out tribbles with us. Hers is big and white and named DeKelley, after Deforest Kelley, the amazing man who played Leonard 'Bones' McCoy in the original Star Trek tv series. Mine is small and black and didn't have a name until Saturday night. I named it Persephone...After the goddess of Spring and queen of Hades.. lol Greek Mythology nerd get.
