Soooo I did NOT make daily updates this full trip. Tee hee. Here's a recap of the last few days.

★ I went to Knott's Berry farm on Monday. It was... well, IT WAS. I was not aware that we were going to be there for over 10 hours. Things were fine at first, my sister and I explored by ourselves for a while. We went to camp Snoopy so I could get Korrin some goodies since she is his number one fan. We rode some chill rides, like the train and the spinning tea cups. I don't like to ride crazy rides.

It was a frustrating day overall, I don't wamt to get into it. My sister and I kept to ourselves for most of it. When we got in the car to leave, I smoked a bit, and all that frustration left my body. We should've smoked earlier in the day, but whateverrrr. It was a day.

★ The next day was chill, we were all recovering. I hung out upstairs on my computer or downstairs with my family. I've been playing Vampire The Masquerade: Redemption in my free time. My stepdad asked me to go to the store to get a few things for dinner, so I got to do that.

I drove his car to the store and enjoyed some time alone. I got home, played my game, took a nap, ate dinner, and got DRUNK. I bought some vodka for myself at the store. I went for a walk around the neighborhood alone around midnight. Just listening to music and thinking about life, it was really therapeutic. I think I'm going to do that tonight as well, since it's our last night.

★ Yesterday I got to live out my Thirteen fantasy. I went to Hollywood and Melrose Avenue. Obviously it was not as cool as it was in 2003. Things have changed a lot in 23 years, and NOT for the better. I went to what used to be the Skechers store, Red Balls, and the movies that they go to.

The Skechers store is boarded up, covered in grafitti, and surrounded by homeless people. What used to be Red Balls is now split in half. A tattoo shop AND COSMOS FUCKING GLAMSQUAD. I was SO excited about that. I went inside, took a ton of cute pictures, and talked to the guy working there. And then I took a few pics driving by what used to be the movie theater, which is now a Target. I looked cute, whale tail and everything. I find so much joy in visiting real world locations from media that mean a lot to me.

We spent the day with Tiamat Eva Medusa, who you might recognize as the Dragon Lady. She is close to my stepdad, they go way back. She named one of her dogs after my stepdad. She was such a sweetheart. She showed us around Hollywood and I got to experience first hand how people react to / treat her. Some people were sweet, asked for pictures and shit. And then there were the ignorant assholes who would yell "WHAT THE FUCK!!". Those people suck.

We got into Ripleys Believe it Or Not for free since she is featured on display in there. It was so beyond cool. She was very sweet, and she smelled good! My stepdad and her shared a tearful goodbye, that was sweet to see. I hope we get to see her again. Look her up, she is fascinating.

★ Today we went to the beach at Corona Del Mar in Newport Beach. Words can not express how gorgeous it is there. We climbed down a VERY steep walkway to get to the beach. We ate In-N-Out and laid in the sun. It was nice. ALSO THERE ARE SO MANY HOT MEN IN CALIFORNIA. AHHHHHHHHH. In New Mexico, I'm an 8. Here? A 2 at best. What the fuck, why are the men so BEAUTIFUL.

I have SO many pictures and videos.. I think when I get back to NM, I'm going to make a new page for all of them to add to my "cool shit" page. It's just too much for a post on here. But I will also be making a post on this page with a selection of my favorite pics from the trip. The ones I have now are too big, and I don't have Photoshop to resize them rn.. Ahhhh.

I'm going to go play my vampire game and drink a fruit punch beatbox. We're having spaghetti for dinner. Later tonight, I'm going to have some vodka and walk around the neighborhood for one last time before we leave.

Tomorrow we are going to Arizona. My parents have a concert, and I will be hanging out with my uncle and his man, we're going to go out together. I think it'll be fun, I HOPE!

I WILL SEE YOU LATER! AHH. THIS POST WAS SO LONG. GOODBYE!

Today has been fun. I went with my mom, stepdad, and their friends to a couple different wineries around Temecula. It was nice, the views were beautiful, but the people were so rich and pretentious.. I think they should all be set on fire. Sadly I forgot to bring my camcorder.. so I didn't take any pics.. smh.

I ate a caeser salad with chicken that was like 30 fuckin dollars... omg. It was so good, but I am SO glad I wasn't paying. The bill was literally a weeks paycheck for me.. that was insane. I drank a lot of sangria.. I still have a little bit leftover.

We got back like an hour or 2 ago. I relaxed in the hot tub and now I am here. I'm charging my vape and my phone before going for a walk around the neighborhood again. I'm gonna relax and listen to music.

That's about all for now. We're going to Knott's Berry Farm tomorrow, so I will be uploading a ton of pictures from that when I get home tomorrow. I think we're going to the beach the next day, and then doing Hollywood the next... or it's the other way around.. I don't knowwww. I'm gonna go explore.. I will see you later.

Today was a pretty chill day. My siblings and I just hung out around the house & walked around the neighborhood. We got back a couple hours ago and hung out around the pool. Now we're standing here in the kitchen just chillin. Here's the pics I took today:

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I've been loving listening to music from GTA V while I've been here. Also the album "Trouble in Paradise" by La Roux. My dad briefly lived out here in like.. 2013 and/or 2014 and I visited him with my grandparents back in 2014. That album had come out shortly before and it was the soundtrack to that trip for me. Listening to it while I'm here like 12 years later feels nice, I love the nostalgia.

My dad lived above a vape shop by the beach.. I can't remember exactly where.. It's been too long. But I remember that trip vividly. Being in his apartment, playing Terraria and Corpse Party on my PS Vita, exploring the beach and the pier and the local area. We all went and explored Hollywood together, that was the last time I was in that area. I am excited to go back and be a tourist.

Okay.. That's all for now. I will see you laterrrr. I'm gonna eat dinner soon.. drink more.. and get in the pool or something, yay! Listen to this song:

I moved my recent posts from before this trip to the archived posts that are linked at the bottom of this page. I wanted to make room since I think I will be making a lot of posts while I am here in California. I'm also switching up the theme, I think my Cali posts will be linked on their own page when I get back home. I am so glad I brought my laptop, I think I'm also going to bring it to Texas next month.

My view right now:

 

I just spent the last few hours hanging out by the pool, soaking up some sun. I'm chillin upstairs with my sister with Gossip Girl playing in the background. I'm sipping on a raspberry Truly (and chugged a fat glass of wine like 30 minutes ago). Here's some pics that I've taken on my camcorder today:

 
 
 
 


After finishing this, my siblings and I are gonna go walk around and take pics around the neighborhood. I think we might go to the park again.. I'll upload the pics I take when we get back! I might add a new page to my "cool shit" section for Cali pics.. But I don't have photoshop on this laptop to make graphics so.. I might wait on that. ANYWAYS! See ya later. And yes.. I am listening to a lot of GTA V music since I am in Cali.. especially Radio Mirror Park.

I'm in California! We're staying in Murrieta for the week. We got here yesterday around 6 in the evening. Last night I went exploring with my siblings around the neighborhood. We passed tf out around midnight and I woke up at like 9am to a cat laying on me. The cat is so sweet, she's been cuddling with me for the past couple hours.

Zoey, Wyatt, (those are my little siblings) and I are chilling in the upstairs living room. We just ate some donut holes and I am chugging a cherry redbull. We're watching 6teen. I don't know what we're doing today.. maybe just swimming and exploring the neighborhood? I'm not sure. That's about all for now, I just wanted to make a quick update. I will see you later.
