   OW!!!

OW!! I am in COMPLETE PAIN!! My muscles are sore. I don't think I've ever hiked an entire acre of land before... T.T I'm out of shape. Must work out more, lol At any rate, yeah, thanks to the day before, I wake up to incredible soreness in my entire body. w00t. Very, very, enjoyable. Uhm, as I said, I'd update to tell y'all about my trip some more. So... The ride to the Park was awful. 2 entire hours of butt-numbing experience. And as we ventured farther away from the LA County, I ended up being unable to listen to the radio. -_-; A long drive without music is not pleasant, trust me. We hit traffic, too. So, even more uneventful and dull! Gah, my Dad nearly fell asleep at the wheel. ;-; Can't blame him, though, lol. Then we finally make it to San Diego... And we end up lost on the streets, thanks to the many twists and turns. My head was dizzy. So...when we reached the Park, I was very unstable on my two feet. Tourists stared at me. And I'm like "up yours, hag" XD Uhm, tickets were bought. We waited in line patiently to get through. Well, I think we did. Not sure. I pulled out my camcorder and started recording the closest thing, err, creature: pink flamingos. Now, y'all know how I despise this color...and so I felt like pelting rocks at 'em birds, so calmly relaxed in that icky pool of water while I burnt my skin off by layers. I then lead the family to the birdie aviatory or whatever. There, I experienced the most awful sound in my life. So MUCH CHIRPING! AH! Ears hurt badly for a few minutes thereafter. But...then again, seeing someone nearly pooped on was rather entertaining. Uhm, at that time around, it was nearly 15:00 PST. My Brother, being so immature, wanted to see the Elephant Show. We spend like five minutes just hunting the goddamn stage down. And when we get there, no more seats. So we head out of the stage area and hike up to a hill to watch. We were then joined by dozens of others, which made it unbearably hot. So I escaped to look at my own little elephants that just stood and ate grass. It's better than watching the "Cookie" one try and eat the trainer. Right. Next, my Gramps was complaining 'bout sore feet, and I being the kid, had to abide by the rule of: respect your elders. Hence, I made everyone board the train that ran around the entire Park ground. Bumpy, and I didn't record much since the camera shook like hell. It was nice looking at a white tiger that appeared to be dead. It was nice traveling by dens of four-legged creatures that I cannot even name and with the fact that it smelt like fifty used toilets put together. And I'm noticing how this post will be so very big. Moving onwards, I managed to ISpy a few squirrels and rabbits running around. I even saw giraffes from so far away and a bunch of rhinos and cattle and birds and bugs and lots of endangered plants that looked like the stuff growing in my backyard. All that time, I wondered: What would it be like having Peter here by my side? What would Pammy-chan think of that ostrich that looks like a chocobo? Or what would Justin think of with that roadrunner and would Seraphi like that white vulture? Wonder what wandering kenshin would think of that baby gorilla with the basketball beating up its own parents? And Gail would have loved looking at the pandas all huddled up in captivity. XP Mm-hm. I forced everyone to go to the Lion lookout after the odd train ride. Well, wait, at that time, shucks, dinner already?! I'm wasting my life here, not seeing anything at all. Some 200 miles away from the only person who's keeping me sane and stuff. Oh, well. Beggars can't be choosers. So we make our way to the Lion lookout...or I tried to, anyways. Instead, we got sidetracked to the Dino Mountain. Rawr. How scary. So mechanical, so...obviously fake! But it was one of the most interesting of the entire trip, I suppose. I was, however, disappointed with the fact that they did not properly show all the gore when this one predator jumped and ate at its little prey. Bummer. Finally, LIONS! ...err, wait, did someone say dry barren land with funny grass and trees? 'cause you can't find the giant kitty without binoculars. Lucky me, I fetched mine out and peered around...very intently. Lo' and behold! There's one with the shaggy mane...and LOOK AT IT MOVE! ...it looked dead, just lying there doing nothing. T.T Well, since this thing is getting so long, I'm stopping. To sum this thing up in a nutshell, it was an eventful and uneventful trip put together. Yep. Bye-byes. No gifts today, sorry. I'm just too tired and achey to think of stuff.
