i've got a newsflash for you.
that title would be really funny if you were there this weekend. but i'll catch you up on the likes of me.
so... i got to go to california again this weekend for the santa maria regional. it didn't start off all that great since i almost missed my flight out there. my sister and i were simply brilliant and misjudged our time and i got there about 30 minutes before the plane was to take off. then the machine said it couldn't find my reservation, then i had to wait and get pat down at security, then i had to run from terminal c to terminal a. thankfully, one of those men with the big golf cart things was kind enough to take me there. i got on the plane just in time. it was a harrowing experience. the flight out there was pretty good.
i love airplanes. my favorite part is take-off and getting up to our cruising altitude. it's so beautiful looking down on big cities and suburbs and even the wide open country spaces. but that's a side bar.
then my plane got in a few minutes early to los angeles, and shane met me at the airport. we began our long drive out to santa maria. with mountains to our right and ocean to our left. california is nice. when we got there the mats were already unloaded, so we really didn't have anything to do for a couple of hours. it was then that i finally got to see cars [no thanks to stephanie :)]. it was funny. people are so creative. after meeting with the other cheerleaders who were going to help us we went to the store and got quesadilla stuff. it was good.
we then sat down to watch csi:miami there was some kind of marathon on. it was then that we discovered a whole new perspective on the show, which was to view it not as a serious drama but rather as a[n unintentional] comedy. now i'm pretty sure that's the only way i can ever watch that show. daniel arrived during the marathon and joined us in our poking fun at the writing from the show. it was jolly good fun.
the next day was the camp/competition. and everything that might have been able to go wrong pretty much did, but we ended doing quite well. we cleaned up and helped shane re-pack and then were starting to take our separate ways. i went to bed early because daniel and i had to get up early to go to lax. and that we did.
on our trip i learned that i talk like the people from dawson's creek and that my add gets the better of me when trying to listen to the words of a song [thus being unable to derive its proper meaning]. once at lax, everything went fairly smoothly.
on the plane i switched seats with this bigger guy because he was all crowded in a row, and then the flight attendent let me sit in the last row pretty much all to myself. it was nice. in my original seat i was sitting almost right behind andy dick [of news radio and i think he was in employee of the month more recently, but i didn't see that movie]. he came to dallas to see the mavericks play the lakers this week and was in coach because he said he had to pay for this flight himself. he ended up across the aisle from me in the last row of the plane. nobody really had any conversations with him, but little congenial chatter on occassion, especially while those of us in the back were waiting to get off of the plane. it was cool, even though i'm not a big fan.
overall it was a good trip. it's always good to get to catch up with old friends and meet new ones. this was long, but pretty inclusive of my weekend. hope you had a good one as well.
