    Man is this day boring.

    Nothing to do where I live.

    Just sit around, and pray something happens like Shigaru Miyamoto comes to my house to play 3DS.
    That would actually be amazing. If he came to mine, i can't help but think he'd decide to implement Vets into the next Nintendogs + Cats + hamsters!

    People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.

    I hate how real life time is cause to effect.

    Huh. I thought I'd posted this in here, but apparently I only put it up on Skype during the first D&D game. This was sitting on my floor on January 28th.

    Edit: I should add that this only happened through coercion, and I was the one coerced.

    My friend wants to make Keyblades to sell, and Terra's is the one she wants to start with, hence why I had to be coerced. Here's my Keyblades. I need to detail and paint the good one.

    Oh, and she's only played part of the first game. She just thinks she can make money off it and gets knowledge on the other games from me.

    "Be seeing you" is from the Prisoner. I demand an all expenses paid vacation to Moscow, or barring that - a secluded island retreat/information extraction facility for spies.

    While technically correct, the thing I am talking about was referencing The Prisoner.

    Since you are half correct, you get 2 and a half points.

    Because it's for kids!

    Not to be confused with "because it's 4kids", in which case they would've done just that in the original and it would've been censored out.

    I'm suddenly incredibly tired, but I hate trying to go to bed when there's still other people in the house awake and making noise.

    If you have a source of income, that shouldn't be a problem. That was one of their main concerns, that I don't have a job, didn't have one when in Canada and don't have one waiting for me in France. I think that makes them fear that I'll try to work in the US, which I'm not allowed to do. It also means I have less of reason to leave the country (I don't have a job I need to get back to), things like that. Seriously, I don't think you'd have as much trouble as I did. I certainly wouldn't want to discourage you from going to the US because of that.

    That was crazy! I would have been in tears halfway through that. I was so glad I had dual nationality when I went to the UK. I'd quit my job, sold my furniture etc - I had the money in my bank account and that was it. I was also glad of it traveling through Europe. I had much less hassles than people traveling on the Aussie passport.

    I said I'd keep telling my story, so here goes:

    After the customs, I went through regular security. I had to take off my shoes, put my stuff on the rolling scanner thing, etc (they also took my cargo suitcase then).
    Because my carry-on was Sissi, I was supposed to take her out of the bag, have the bag go through the scanner, and walk through the door-thing while holding her. That did NOT happen.

    When I opened the bag, she was so freaked out by the noises, the people and everything that she made herself small in the very back of the bag. When I tried reaching for her, she wouldn't let me grab her. She hissed, swiped at me (without claws) and try to back further in the bag, which caused it to almost fall since she was already at the very back of it.

    They asked me to close the carrier, which I did, and a woman picked it up and said they'd have to check the carrier in the body search room. At this point I was pretty worried, because Sissi's not good with people who aren't me, and if I wasn't even around she'd go crazy for sure. Fortunately, they told me to still walk through the door thing, grab the bin with my things, and follow them to the body search room.
    There, a guy filled paperwork while two women searched the bag while I was holding Sissi inside of it (she would not go out at all. She tried scratching the women at first, which is why I ended up holding her in it).

    Then they told me everything was alright, and I went out. I saw the full-body scanners (like regular scanners, but vertical instead of horizontal) but didn't have to go through them, possibly because I was coming out of the body search room.

    Then I waiting to board. At this point, I was relieved I had made it this far, but still worried I'd be stopped at a later point. I wasn't sure if I'd need to go through customs again once landed (I had never had to do it before a flight, it had always been after) and I didn't want to expect not to only to have to do it and be refused entry.

    It was a short flight, not much to say about it. Sissi was fine the whole time, didn't make a noise. She moved a bit during landing, which I expect scared her a bit, but then she was fine.

    Then I landed and arrived at the baggage claim directly. Now I was pretty sure I was good, so I felt very relieved. I called Sean from a payphone (it turns out he was at the very next baggage claim thing and had just arrived) and we left. He told me the customs called him, which I expected but didn't know for sure. Apparently the call only took like thirty seconds. They asked for his name, if he knew me, if he knew I was staying with him, how long I was staying and where I was going afterwards. Then they said "thanks" and hung up.

    So here you go, the eventful story of my trip to the US.

    Sounds like a huge hassle :(

    No, I'm feeling great! I keep thinking it's summer because it's so hot. Earlier there were vineyards and I asked Sean why there were no grapes on it, since they should be picking them in September. His answer? "I'm sure they did". Then I felt stupid.
    But yeah, shifting from the snow to this, I feel like I skipped to May directly or something. It's awesome. I love this place.

    The dogs here are adorable. Sean said they'd probably bark at me but they didn't at all, they came to lick my hand and be petted. The cats looked at me from afar a bit, but at this point I've picked up and snuggled them both with no problem. Mine is doing fine too, although she's staying in the garage, away from the other pets.

    It was stressful as it happened, but once I had landed and realised it was over, I was fine right away.

    Second part of story

    I never knew it was possible to take your cat onboard and keep her with you during the flight. (I've never had a reason to try). I always assumed that they'd take any animals away and seal them securely where they keep the bags or something.

    Learn something new everyday.:rolleyes:
