The Thing about F-U-N


You know, sometimes it's okay to have fun. So much fun that you could die on your way home from having fun and have absolutely no regrets simply because you had so much fun that day. That day for me was today. I had an amazing time! First we went to Denny's and I ordered this breakfast burger type thing. It was a cheeseburger that had bacon, hash browns and eggs on top of it (I got it without eggs). Off topic for a moment: I haven't had an egg in almost a year now because I always think about the bay chick that wasn't born and now I'm sitting here eating it. That's kind of like eating a chicken fetus... I almost got just egg-whites (because that was an option) but then right on the menu directly underneath the picture of the burger was a disclaimer stating that the eggs may or may not be cooked all the way and that the restaurant wasn't responsible for any illnesses that came from eating under-cooked eggs. Call me picky but I thought that was a little gross. Back on topic: The burger was so ginormous that I couldn't even fit a bite in my mouth and had to cut it and eat it with my fork. I only finished half of it and my cousin and sister ate the other half after finishing their food.

After breakfast we went and bought souvenirs and such. I think that the reason that they're so expensive is because during the Winter when there aren't tourist the shop owners still have to pay bills and none of the people who live there are going to pay for a fifteen dollar shot glass just because it says, "Pismo Beach, CA", on it. Sort of like stocking nuts for the Winter I suppose. So after that we went to the beach and played in the water which to my surprise was actually a bit warm. Well, I suppose everything's warm when your body goes numb from the cold... I made a sand castle!!! It turned out amazing and was the best sand castle that I've ever made. After that we got lunch. Interesting fact about me: I don't like sea food. It drives my dad insane when we go to the beach and I order a burger but there's just something about it that I hate unless it's swimming in lemon (*buh dump ching*). Luckily I was with my grandparents. Not that I got a burger. I got soup because I was cold. Then we went to Moro Bay and made more sand castles which turned out better than the one previously mentioned but before I dug a moat the tide came in and we had to leave. We got some salt water taffy and bought some shells and then we came home. Good day...
Question: What's the funnest thing that you've ever done in your LIFE?

The Thing about Melancholy

I feel in desperate need of a duel. To be more specific with Styrofoam Nerf Swords. To be more specific with somebody that I haven't seen for seven months, twenty-four days, eight hours and some odd minutes. Anywho, I suppose anybody would do, but that would be the ideal situation. Oh, and it would preferably be in a toy isle at Walmart. Just got to Pismo Beach, CA. Checked into the hotel. This is the first time that I've ever been able to use free Wifi so I'm excited about this new experience I suppose. I'm not too chipper today and I feel like writing something now so you can stop reading
if you'd like. It's really cold here. It has the crisp feel of fresh sheets and I can hear waves from my hotel room. Oh! Another plus! I get a bed to myself! That never happens because of several different factors so I usually en up sleeping on the floor or sharing a bed with two other people. We're about to walk down to the beach. It's freaking cold here! I wish I had an old-fashioned bathing suit like the one Dick Van Dyke wears in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Example


Back from the beach which was great. Built a sandcastle. I suppose that I'm melancholy. That's the best that I can describe it. Maybe I'm just tired, I don't know. I'll probably write more on here later tonight.

The Thing about Church


Let me start by saying that the thing about church is that you learn a lot more than you bargain for. Usually these things are a heck of a ton of fun! For example, today I learned about a method of torture that happens when somebody kills someone else. The corpse is then chained onto the murderer and as the corpse is rotting it slowly causes the live person to rot as well. Rotting alive: Isn't it fantastic? I also learned what fornication means but I'd rather not discuss that one... But in all seriousness, when was the last time that you went to church? Do you only go on Easter and Christmas and is that really often enough? In other news: I've officially added learning to unicycle to my, "Things to Do Before I Happen to Die List." This has been a pending thing for a while now but has officially made it onto the list completely based on this video uploaded to Youtube by my friend Zach:

Also on the list is playing Bert in Marry Poppins and making someone cry over a work of art.
Now for the big question(s)!

1. When was the last time that you went to church?
2. What's your favorite method of torture?
3. What do you want to do before the day that you somehow manage to die?

The Thing about Things so Far


Dear Somebody,
While writing this post I'd have to admit to not having a single idea about what I'm doing. It's been about a day since I've started this blog and I can't help but feeling that the somebodies who've read this aren't exactly "entertained". This is a big issue as the main purpose was to entertain and on a lesser note to keep me from talking to myself as much. So to whom it may concern (you reading this right now) please comment on what you would like to see on this blog to keep yourself and possibly others entertained.

-Sincerely Curious,
Raine Countryman-
