On the plane back home, I considered what I would make my Facebook status on my birthday. It went a little something like this.
What? lilaclily00 is 16? She's growing up? That can't be right. She is forever young. People don't just GROW UP. People don't just gain years and lose reasons to continue being immature and avoid responsibility. It just doesn't happen. No way is lilaclily00 16.
Then again, she never wrote about herself speaking in 3rd person, so what does she know?
Aw great. ;-; lilaclily00 is 16 and a lazy old fart.
My sister complained it's long, so I put something else instead. *derp*
Anyway, wow! I never thought the day would come- and honestly dreaded it. I still kinda dread being 16. *squirms about uncomfortably*
Anyway, uh... Oh! We got some new folklore dresses a few days before leaving Mexico. Of course, I was most excited about getting the Jalisco dresses- after all, I was gonna be measured! And I got to choose the color, which happened to be orange. Jalisco is just so fun and I remember everything (I think), unlike almost all the other dances. *ehe....*
The trip back to the US was easier this time. Still plenty tiring, of course, and we still had to deal with LAX, but at least we knew better how to maneuver around there. In fact, we practically made a new record for getting from international security all the way to our gate.
Also quite surprising, we got seats on the planes that were quite close to the front. As in, not first class but right behind it. That hasn't happened to us in, excuse me, forever? We've even gotten ones aaaaaall the way in the back, basically by the last rows, before. And in both planes we got seats much higher, including in the bigger plane from Mexico to LA!
We spent the day after arriving just lazing around and getting back into the normal summer routine, and the day after that was my birthday!
We started that off by trying out the local public transportation to get to the Portland Zoo (after I put on a cute dress we got in Tepo). The way there I was a bit anxious since I was really hoping we wouldn't mess up what stop we get off and stuff, but it was actually pretty easy, so I felt much better when we were returning from there.
I didn't think we'd actually get something from the zoo gift shop, but we ended up getting stuffed animals (of course), a penguin for me and a polar beat for my sis. I feel cliche and predictable for making that move, but the stuffed animals there were seriously so cute and so cuddly!!! *squee while glomping penguin*
Once we were back home, I reminded my sis that I said we were gonna watch Disney movies on my birthday. She kept acting totally cool about it, but I know she also totally would've changed the movie if she didn't think it'd disappoint me. And, as I expected out of her, I caught her doing something on her phone (probs FB) instead of watching a few times. *deep sigh* Eh, close enough.
I'd wanted to watch Tangled and Enchanted with her, but it turned out neither were on Netflix (really?! Have you noticed that Netflix often has everything except what you want to watch at the moment?) so I settled for Aristocats and Hercules. Gosh, I always loved Aristocats, even though it'd been years since I last saw it.
We went to eat at this good Vietnamese place near the house (that also serves burgers?) and, when we returned, I asked if we could put on one last Disney movie, and saw Netflix call to me to put on The Emperor's Last Groove. Also a great movie.
I dunno, I think, even though I didn't receive a quazillion presents or a fancy party or anything, this was a pretty great party.
Too bad I'm now 16. *tear* Future Me, please tell me this doesn't turn out to be a sucky year, cuz something in my gut had told me for a while now this will sincerely suck.
I... thought I'd have more to say this time. I think I actually did, but kept procrastinating, and by this point I don't even remember what I wanted to put. *shrug*
WAAAAAAIIIIIIIT I WROTE WHAT I WANTED TO WRITE DOWN SOMEWHERE!!! Hold up.
Okay. So, what I forgot to write was that in Mexico we went to the Frida Kahlo museum (which is in her house) and (half of) the Anthropology Museum. The latter is so crazy huuuuuge. Duuuuuuuuude! We'll have to come back to see the other half sometime! *clever chuckle*
Also, that I finally thought of the title for LRxFMA!!! Father's Lab Rats. Van, at some point, just ended up saying something that made me drop everything and be like "this is it." Well, not literally drop everything, but mentally. If that makes sense.
Aaaand, eh, maybe there's something else that I'll share next week? Has to do with doodling.
Right after posting this I'm putting up a little song I thought of. If, for some reason I became a famous singer, I decided I had to do at least one song in Spanish, preferably with a mariachi. VIVA MÉXICO, am I right?! So, ideally, the song would be done with a mariachi band.
It's about how I've always wanted a boy to come serenade me- but, if there's some kid I really liked and I knew he liked me back but he just didn't have the guts to say something to me, perhaps I'd have to go to him. I don't know if my Spanish grammar is absolutely perfect in the song, but it sounds right to me, so. *shrug*
While I hope you like the song, don't think I'm a feminist or something. I'm not a "girl power!" girl. I just think it's fair to try to go for the guy if you like him and he's nice. That's all.
