Cherries

So a while after my last post yesterday night I started going through all my posts and found all the ones that mention Darik and / or Dylan and tagged them all. Most of them already had the "Darik" and "Dylan" tags, but some didn't.  I finished that this morning. I am actually thinking of re-telling my past with those two. I did a really long post that was 2 parts back in 2010 about Darik, but I honestly feel like I need to re-do it because a lot of things have changed.  I'll probably do it soon, not sure though.

Anyway, my breakfast was kind of interesting today. I had this crazy idea of mixing my pancakes, in my ice cream with some maple syrup. It was actually quite delicious.

I bought some Orbit gum last week, I ran out yesterday. I love the tropical flavor that has orange, kiwi and some other stuff. I run out so fast because I love to chew it.

I was watching Twilight Zone today for a while. My sister had gone somewhere, a few places i imagine. She got home some time after I started watching it. She brought home some fruit bars, kind of like Popsicles. She also brought home some really great cherries. I ate some while watching episodes 20 - 25 of The Twilight Zone. It was really hot while I was watching it so I turned the cooler on. I found out today that it's okay for me to turn it on, it's not really that broken anymore.

I actually started playing Tetris while watching after some time. I went into the kitchen and opened a Mango fruit bar and ate it while I watched Twilight Zone after I was done playing Tetris. I nearly broke my Marathon record toady, but not quite.

We suspect a new fire, or a couple new fires started somewhere around here because the sky got really smokey and stuff around the time I was watching The Twilight Zone. It was crazy, you could see little bits of ash in the air and the mountains were almost invisible. it dissipated after a few hours mostly.

I watched Star Trek First Contact with my sister tonight. I was actually playing a new game that came to the  Apple store at the same time. Some of you might be familiar with a game called "Where's My Water". The game I was playing is basically the same thing, only it is Phineas and Ferb themed. The game is centered around Perry the Platypus.  I love the game so much already, I'm so hooked.

Natalie and Kayla built a blanket fort sometime after this. It wasn't anything big because it was in the living room, but it was cute. They were sooooo hyper tonight. Especially while we were eating tuna sandwiches for dinner.

Anyway, i don't think anything else is going to happen tonight so I'll end here.

The Vibrating Chair

My grandma and grandpa lived with us for a while when I was younger. I don't remember much because I was still in my lower single digits. They were my grandparents from my dad's side. I remember we had numerous things around the house that belonged to grandma and grandpa. one of the things that sticks out in my mind however is the vibrating chair. It almost looked like a normal reclining chair. It was electric and had to be plugged in. My grandpa had it for his back or something. he also had diabetes. I loved that chair so much. I twas like a dark, kind of old banana yellow. Not the prettiest thing in the world but when you turned it on it felt amazing. i would use it whenever possible. i vaguely remember my grandpa also sitting in it once or twice. I was sad when they moved back to Canada, not only because I lost the chair but because I didn't get to see them very often after that.

I also recall one of the times they lived here my grandma bought me this beautiful sapphire ring. The sapphire was pretty big, the ring all around was amazing and I loved it very much.  I somehow lost it somewhere, it was sad. I'll never forget the feeling of wearing it and the feeling that I got when she gave it to me. I still have the box it came in even though I don't have the ring. 

Another childhood memory I was thinking of today as i was surfing Xanga was this polka dot outfit I used to wear when I was 5 years old. Some of it was black with white polka dots, and some of it was white with black polka dots. I have a family video with me wearing it somewhere. 

Nothing much today, i just spent most of the day thinking about the past, playing Tetris and watching stuff on Netflix as usual. I played around with Google Earth for about an hour and found my way to some places i didn't know how to get to before. I have actually never played around with that app very much before, it was fun. 

Natalie asked me for some advice on how act in some different situations. I haven't given her nearly as much advice as i should have. I hope she asks me more stuff. I seem to have a lot of the answers she needs to hear. A lot of the stuff she is going through right now i have also gone through. I understand how she feels. I really liked giving her advice on friends, and insecurities, and stuff like that. I can't have children, so I guess at least I can pass my knowledge and wisdom onto my nieces and nephew.
