Remember how on the list a few weeks ago I told you that I wrote a story that everyone loved? Well, I want you guys to read it and tell me what you think about it.
*several painstaking minutes later*
*sigh* Another week, another disapointment.
My file won't open because the file type isn't supported. I hate documents and their many formats.
Hmm...let's see...I guess I could talk about Canada. And it was a school band tour, not some sort of other band tour.
DIFFERENCES
Canada is Canada is Canada. I thought that it would be super great and awsome, but it's kindda like America. Only they use the metric system, call bathrooms "washrooms", have different money, they all have accents and/or speak French, most of the guys aren't all that hot, they have many more Liquor and Adult stores (we counted like ten every five miles *exadurated*), a lot of cars have cords coming out of the front (insert the Electric Slide here), and manga comes out up there before it reaches the American audience (I bought the second Vampire Knight book one month before it came out in America. >:D )
GOOD MEMORIES
It was cold the entire time, so that wasn't all that great. Plus we were on the road most of every day which was quite boring because I hate road trips. We did make some good memories though. My friend and I sat behind this one guy the whole time we were on the bus, you know with assigned seats and all (we got to choose our seats but they stayed the same the entire trip), and between us we said some of the stupidest yet funniest things ever. My friend and I created a "Quote Book" of all the memerable things we said. We sure had some interesting conversations while we were on the trip and even came up with new names.
AS A BAND
I think that as a band, we played pretty well. Some of the songs that we had trouble with in certain spots turned out well. Our last concert that we played on tour was the best of all.
WHERE DID WE GO?
Places we went...Um...we went to Calgary, Bamf...and some other places that I can't remember, but we went there!
WHAT DID WE DO?
I went skiing for the first time in the all of ever. I know how to start, it's stopping that gives me the hardest time. Luckily I met the nicest trash cans while up there. They helped me stop and everything! I also met a railing, but he wasn't as nice as the trash cans. Oh, and my thigh met a piece of land that it didn't quite agree with. They had a little fight about gravity and it's affect on my body as I went down a hill. But that wasn't as bad as what happened to another girl who was going down the same his as me. She too had problems stopping and as she was going down she ran into this huge pole and hit her head before she fell. Luckily it had padding around the part where her head hit, but she says she missed the soft padded part. I felt sorry for her because she had be having a hard time with skiing thie whole time. So after that little incident we, being the girl, another girl, and myself, went back into the lodge and therein stayed untill it was time to go.
GOOD OL' GEISHA TIME
One of the nights we were up there we got split up to stay at different families homes. I don't quite remember the term that was used for it. Anyways, while doing that, my friend and I watched Memoirs of a Geisha at our host family's house and stayed up till about 2 a.m. doing so. It's a pretty good but sad movie. Pumkin is pretty awsome, but I hate how she turns out in the end. Anyways, when we left everyone was supposed to leave a thank you card and a picture of the band with the family. It wasn't a very good picture that they had chosen for us to leave (you couldn't see me), but it was a picture none the less.
LAYOVER
On the way back from Canada, we had a 6 HOUR LAYOVER (count them: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) in Denver. It wasn't all that bad. The airport was pretty cool and I learned how to play a new card game. I don't remember what it's called though. This air port was huge! It even had stores like a mall! Oh, and you know those moving sidewalk things that you see on television? It had those too!! That was the first time I had ever seen one in an airport. But then again, this was only my second time going on an airplane trip.
PASSPORTS AND CUSTOMS
I got my first ever passport for this trip, because they passed some sort of law that states that if you fly into Canada you need a passport. Anyways, getting into Canada through customs wasn't all that hard. They didn't even ask me any questions when I went through. However, when I was coming back the guy was all like "So, did you buy anything? What did you buy? How much did you buy?" It was weird. Oh, you know what's sad? There is a Korean girl in our band so she has a Korean passport and they gave her a hard time because her passport wasn't American. I wasn't there when it happened, but I heard that she was crying. I felt so sorry for her. Afterwards we found out that it was because of the Virginia Tech shooting that had happened while we were gone. We didn't even know about it until we got back into the states. Oh, you know what the weird thing was. As we were coming through the baggage check area, you know the place where they x-ray your stuff, practically everyone who worked there was of middle eastern decent. One guy even had a turbon on. It was weird...
Wow, I've been babbling on for a while now. I hope you like the new theme. I need to fix the background picture so you can see the whole thing, unless that's just a problem on my computer. Please tell me if you can see the words "Worlds Biggest Spaz since 1993" at the bottom and the third picture at the bottom on the right.
