it's funtastic.

Okay, seriously? It is Funtastic. Not Funtastics. It is not plural. It is a singular event. And, while it may last the span of several days, you do not say 'oh, on Thursday I am going to Funtastics.' and you know why? Because that doesn't make sense. At all. You cannot just add letters to words. If you could iajd couleda jeast sturtttat talkaicngg laek thsssis. And I won't talk like that. So stop calling it Funtastics. It's only one place, and one event. Stop. Please.

and it kinda looks just like you, mixed with zach galifianakis.

So I guess I gave up for that trip, sorry! San Francisco was beautiful weather, and we had a good time. I think a week in one place is just a bit too much for me, I wish we'd had a third city in there to break it up a bit. Oh well. I'm home now. And everything is the same. I turned  19 on Wednesday, which was fun. I went to a casino! I lost money, but it was still fun. 
Really, nothing is happening, because I'm just working and not doing much. It's pretty boring. 
This post is kind of depressing. I'm sorry.

On a plane!

Well oh haii! We are on the plane with wifi! So I am blogging somewhere over the state next to Wisconsin (I fell asleep over Wisconsin, and now we aren't there anymore, but I don't really now much about us geography...Iowa?)
Anywayyss we saw avenue q on Sunday, and it was hilarious. We also went to ground zero, and Chinatown. Chinatown was so brutal and scary and dirty and smelly. Never. Again. I wish we'd gotten to little italy, or katz's deli. But those are the only two places. Oh, and kind of coney island, but I'm not heartbroken over it.
We got to the hostel later Sunday night, and my bed was wet, alog wig my pajama top, and we were all 'wah happened!?' then in the middle of the night I woke up and the ceiling was dripping and falling apart kind of... I guess they'd had a leak. Sweet....
It was honestly justthe worst hostel, ever. We're covered in bedbug bites and it's the worst.The staff also parties till really early in the morning in he kitchen really loudly and our dorm room door is right beside the freaking kitchen!! Bt the hotel was so nice, we had two queen siZed beds to spread out on, a pretty nice view, and, well, mainly privacy. Which was awesome. I think we got the best sleep we've gotten in years.
Hopefully our hostel in San Francisco is really nice! Or at least bed bug free!
I think San Fran will be really nice, and I'm getting really excited for it. I'm alsO really happy we were able to see a show in new York! Okay, I'm off!!

One, two, sree, cheer!

We went to the emPire state building today. Lines are long and I don't like them. We saw the intrepid, which is an aircraft carrier. I guess it was cool. We're going to see avenue q tomorrow, if were able to get rush tickets. I am incredibly tired, my feet hurt, I have lots of bedbug bites, and I think I'm ready for some west coAst chill. Or just a hotel. But we also got stuff yesterday At the NBC store, which was really fun!

Ok bye-bye! Sleep now.

New York, New York!

Hi! So yesterday was our first full day here, and we were super excited to go out and exPlore. We went to Times Square and had a long look around, saw lots of the theaters and side streets. We wandered along until we got to central park. We got into thE park, when all of a sudden it started POURING rain. We had nowhere to run for shelter, and no umbrellas, so we had to run underneath the shady trees to try and get out of it. We ended up going into a lululemon, and I was able to get a sports bra on sale, and Jake was able to dry off. We then wandered around in between heavy bouts of rain until we finally bought a couple of umbrellas, which would've made the day a lot easier, were we not already soaking wet. So we came back to the hostel around 5 and changed, and pretty much stayed in the rest of the night, except to get supper. It continued rAining until late last night/ early this morning. Today was supposed to rain, but ended up being quite nice! We took the staten island ferry and saw the statue of liberty, walked around wall street and the financial district, and Rockefeller cEnter. We went back to times square, went in a couple of stores, saw the naked cowboy, and....then came back to the hostel until supppah. Oh and Jake has bedbugs. Aww.

Cynacism

"Don’t be afraid to be a fool. Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying yes begins things. Saying yes is how things grow. Saying yes leads to knowledge. “Yes” is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say yes.”

-Stephen Colbert

I'm sorry, but...

I just need to come right out and say it: baby bumps scare the poop outta me. I mean, I know, it's a beautiful thing, you don't know until you've had one, life is a miracle. I get it, I do. But people taking pictures of their creepy bellys gives me the willies. Nothing against pregnant people. I love them. And babies. It just kinda gives me the heeby jeebies. Like people holding chainsaws. They're probably nice people. But it kinda scares you.
