Yesterday was Tuesday, June 16, 2009.

Anyways, I went on a trip to Oxnard, CA, so for the past two days I didn't exactly have access to a computer. Darn. But, I did bring along:

• two manga books
• my Rubik's Cube
• my cellphone and the chargers required for it
• 14 episodes of an anime on said cellphone

First, I'm going to mention that, in our group, I was the only person under the age of 20 (though the second youngest came in at 21) making me the only teenager. Great. Luckily, I had my cellphone...and unlimited texting.

Anyways, those items provided enough enjoyment for the first ride, toward Universal Studios.

But I didn't actually go in. The decided rendezvous point was outside, in US's Citywalk. We ate, used the bathroom, then (5 of us) piled into another car headed for Knott's Berry Farm.

And I actually did go there. Basically, it wasn't exactly boring, but not really exciting, either. I rode one ride: the Southwest Sidewinder, I believe. All the other time was either spent waiting in line, waiting for other people to get off rides, or winning some (2) polar bears by throwing ping-pong balls*. There was also funnelcake, which really wasn't like I thought it should be...imagine, the funnel cake is covered with 1/2" of "powdered sugar" then topped with strawberry jam. Sounds good? Now, I'll describe the cake: imageine pea-sized globs of pancake mix stuck together in a large, plate-sized circle, that is fried, and crunchy. Eww.

But I ate it anyways.

Near the end of the day we proceeded to: wait for my aunt to finish choosing what jewelry she wanted. Honestly, we spend like, an hour there. Oh well. She gave me a [promotion] present of a large monetary amount.

Night 1:

I'm saying Night 1 simply because there was a lot that happened. It included: turning off the light so my parents could sleep, then using my cellphone as a flashlight to finish reading my second manga book, then trying to register my phone for mobile blogging, then watching it give me a malformed request, then me talking to myself, then finally, around 2, me actually going to sleep.

Day 2:

This day wasn't nearly as interesting, since no theme parks were involved. Oh well. I'd say, the highlights were: getting to sleep in a car under a tree with (all) the windows 1/3 open for a couple of hours, and eating/drinking a cinnamon pretzel/strawberry shake combo. Boring things included [forced] shopping, and, the drive back (since I had already read everything).

I'm sure that sometime later on I'll remember all the awesome things I did away from the computer, but until then, I'm going to stop here. (Now that I have my phone connected to this blog, I don't think that should be a big problem now, though.)

There's a bit about the manga book I'm reading, and something else about the people I texted, but that'll go in somewhere else
