For spacious skies!

I was singing this at random moments during the longest Wed. of my life. Literally, Wed. was 48 hours or something insane like that. I was up for...55 hours straight because, yeah, I don't sleep on planes or in cars. And then I needed a shower and watched an hour of TV before bed. Went to bed at 5:30 on Thurs, got up at about 15:30. I can't sleep now which is why I've decided to do a little update. I can't sleep but I'm really out of it. So, so out of it. I went for a quick drive with my mom to pick up my brother from a friend's house today, and I got to say, it was so weird. I mean, I was sitting on the opposite side of the car, on the other side of the road. And I nearly freaked out when she turned because it felt like she was turning into on-coming traffic. So I'm more messed up than I thought. I heard it takes almost a week before things feel normal again.

I didn't get internet in New Zealand. Well, you could for 8$ for 15 mins, but no way was I paying that. My camera died the very first half of the first day. I got some pictures of hills and black swans though. I'll get a few of the swans up later. I think I still have a couple from Australia I haven't loaded yet. New Zealand was very pretty. I'm pretty sure I had fun, but it was more like the kind of fun you have when it's over. I have a great story about our first Wed. but I have to call HQ and tell them first. It involves my home for the nine days I was there, which was a caravan. That's all I'm saying right now.

I will go back to New Zealand someday, because I didn't get to see a kiwi. I saw the people (white New Zealanders are called Kiwis) and the fruit, but no bird. I tried so hard too. I saw tui birds in my attempt, and I got licked by a bull I dubbed Solo (the other was Duo), but no kiwi bird. I saw lions feed, picked up a wild duckling, got bit by ducklings, a wild piglet, and a black swan, and hearded a wallaby joey back into its pen, but no kiwi.

I did miss America a lot. I guess I narrowed home to a country at least, but I always knew it would be America. I came back and went right to Marcus, my betta. He's still swimming. The baby fish got big. My bulldog, Angel, was too sleepy for it to really click who I was. She did wander out to see me though. My old dog, Rocks, his tail started going crazy the second I went in his room. He was too tired to stand up, but he did the happy whine and stuff. And then Juno, my Juno. She approched me so cautiously and sniffed me. Then she was playing with me, purring, and I honestly thought I was going to cry when I picked her up. The creature is like my daughter; I had to wake up every two hours to feed her and everything. I get to go see Sherman when the sun comes up. I slept too late Thurs. to see him. Oh right, the humans in my life missed me too. Brother woke up, mom and dad hugged me, all that junk. I won't see my sister until Sat. She's having her birthday dinner at Domo, one of our favorite places. I'm going to eat so much eel. I'm starving.

Now that I'm back I need to slowly start getting back to doing stuff. I'll need a job at some point, hopefully soon. I need a place to live. It'll be that taking pets thing that'll get me. Juno's coming with me, and I might bring Rocks too. There was even talk of me taking Angel. She loves my mom so I think it's best if she stays with my parents. I still want to get some puppies of my own. I want a male black Great Dane and a male Westie. I'm going to name the dane Ace after the one in Batman Beyond, and the Westie Zero after the one from Nightmare Before Christmas. And zero was my hockey number. It's funny, big one starts with an 'a' and the little one starts with a 'z'.

I'm going to start re-writing the second part of Mirror Image very soon. I'm re-reading the first part and fixing some spelling and grammer. All the times add up already, I fixed that earlier. I don't think you'll need to know anything from part one too deeply to understand part two, but I could be wrong. I like details and have a knack for remembering tiny things, so there is the chance of getting lost I suppose that I just don't see. I'll just do a quick over-view deally in the author's commets thing.

I guess that's it. Pictures soon, a story soon, writings soon! I need to read this chapter and then try to sleep. Chapter thirteen, I like this one a bit. Skin by
