Orlando Trip Part One: City Walk

    The first night in Orlando [Sunday], the four of us went to Universal's City Walk to eat dinner [at Bubba Gump Shrimp] and to do some browsing/shopping. It was especially beautiful because of the torrential downpour that overtook Orlando earlier that afternoon [which caused minivans to drive at 25 mph on the four].

The van that was going 25mph on the four with his 
four-way flashers on.

That's where we saw Alice Cooper!

I loved the lights on the wet pavement.

"Mama says they was magic shoes. They could take me anywhere." 

My mother's fantastic photography skills.
She got better as the trip went on :] 

Hard Rock Cafe + Hard Rock Live

This roller coaster, the Rock It, was so sweet.
You listened to music your chose personally during the ride!

The Hard Rock Hotel

Sweet Christmas decorations in the hotel lobby.

Elvis Presley was an honorary Portland police officer.

     Currently listening to... "Suffocated" by Orianthi [just got her album, Believe (II) in the mail. sooo excited!]

Look for pictures from our first day at Universal Studios' Island of Adventure in Orlando Trip Part Two!

Orianthi

     So we went to see Alice Cooper at Hard Rock Live while in Orlando this past week. It was pretty radical. Best of all [even over a bunch of middle aged guys with long hair belting out every lyric] was Alice Cooper's badass lady guitarist, Orianthi. She's pretty much my hero and my new idol for all things badass. 
     I was going through some of my photographs from the trip [all of which are finally downloaded onto my computer!], but since it's pretty late now [it's 2am in Orlando!] and I've been travelling all day, I'm gonna hit the hay and leave the rest of the photos and actual blogging about the trip for later this week. 


So just to tide y'all over til then, hurr're some pictars that I snapped at the concert:

NEW SONG!

Currently listening to...  "Meantime" by GIVERS

six f's of Friday

Well whatdayaknow.. I remembered this week! One snag.... No one sent me links or comments to show they were partcipating :[ oh welllllll I'm on vacation, so I'll cry about that later. But today I got to pet and swim with a very charming dolphin by the name of Lester! And I got got some pictars, so I'll share those when I get back to the Pacific time zone! Yay!

Currently listening to... Move Along by the All American Rejects [in the Hard Rock Hotel lobby... The only place I get Internet access.. It ain't no Hilton Grand Vacations!]

I wish I could post one of the wicked pictures I've taken so far in Orlando, but alas, none of us brought a computer to upload said pictures on... But this way there will be photos galore [a word borrowed from old Gaelic, a little factlet I learned tonight at the old Irish pub we ate at] for me to post when I get home sweet home.

Here's a little sippet though of what y'all be getting:

Plane photos, torrential down pour, Hard Rock, City Walk, despicable me, Who's, grinch, whoville, Harry Potter, the Cab, more whoville, Marvel supers and vilans, Jurassic Park, more Harry Potter, pop eye, Downtown Disney, more the Cab, Patrick Stump [plus new band, minus Fall Out Boy], Cobra Starship, and Avril Lavigne.

And that was only day one and two... Next up? More Potter, along with some Twister, Men in Black, E.T., Jaws and the Terminator... Then a little Alice Cooper... A little Epcot... A little SeaWorld [and a lot of swimming with dolphins]... And the rest? well.. We'll just have to wait and seeeeeeeee!


Currently listening to... The Cabs new album, Symphony Soldier. Bought it at the show tonight!

Oregon!

Gandalf? looks more like Dobby!

Six f's of Fridayyy [a day late]

Gandalf.

     So I'm an awful blogger. I talked a big game about how great my Friday post idea was and then I forgot to post the next week. wellll yesterday was pretty crazy for me [up early to study for my chem final, taking said final, packing, hanging out with my boys, saying goodbye to said boys, then flying to Portland] but that's no excuse.


     Well eeenyways I'm changing how dis thang is done anyway, so this is as good a time as any to do so.   From on now.. the six f's of Friday aren't gonna be vocab words [not "interactive" enough] so now each Friday I will post six words that start with an "f" and anyone can write a little something about your week that goes along with the word. Here, I'll give you a little example:
     Say the word is "freeing," so you'd write something you did that week that was freeing.

FREEING: I finished all of my finals and turned in all my papers for fall quarter.

     It's as easy as that! yay! sooo hurr're the six f's of Friday:

FREEING [see above]

FEARLESS [I'm currently re-acquainting myself with TSwizzle's ahmazing second album]

FAMILY [in honor of da holidays]
FICTION [make something up!]

FADED [Soul Decision.. ahhaha tell me about something you did/said/saw/overheard when tipsy]

FRAZZLED [in honor of finals week!]

sooo all those who wish to participate in the next week's post should send me a link to your site [or if you don't have a blog, you can put it in the comments.]
    
currently listening to... "Some Days" by the Maine. 

PIONEER

Finally.
