Gone to San Diego
By the time you read this, I will either be on my way down to San Diego, or already there, basking in the Southern
California sun. I'll be down there for about four days, living in my brother's old apartment which he accidentally extended the lease on (long story). I'm not sure if I'll be able to check my email down there (I'm bringing my MacBook with me), but if you wanted to contact me, that would be your best bet.
The car ride down there is going to be brutal. It's going to be hot, boring, and unlike most car rides, the scenery isn't going to be very scenic. The highway you have to take down to San Diego crosses through this type of farming land where all you see is a desert-like area on one side and farms on the other. Not very entertaining. On the bright side, as a cure to my boredom, I'll bring a portable DVD player and watch Huo Yuan Jia (the Wiki page links to the actual guy, but I'm watching the television series) and some movies that I rented from Blockbuster. Either that, or I'm going to sleep all the way down. If Verizon has reception, I'll be texting Twitter as well, for lack of anything better to do.
Basically, once we get to SD, the plan is to lounge around on the beach, go to SeaWorld, go to the zoo, and did I mention that I was going to lounge around on the beach?
However, if I can access the internet down there, then I'll probably post blog entries, so this post will be of no relevance. I'm hoping that I don't come back looking like a potato that's been in the oven too long... You never know! XD Happy July 4th to all the Americans!

Aw, when we were in L.A. I wanted to go to San Diego Zoo.
You’re so lucky - you’re so close to Disneyland, San Diego Zoo, and a bunch of other stuff.
Make sure you don’t get caught feeding off of someone’s internet! :)

I’m proposing you live in Northern California, because from where I live, San Diego is only a 4 hour car drive away. WATCH OUT ALEX, I’M HUNTING YOU DOWN. :P
I’ve done the same on long car rides (watch movies, listen to music, all possible forms of entertainment when boxed inside a moving vehicle), and it isn’t too long until I’ve resorted to watching the growth patterns of shrubbery in the desert landscape. It becomes quite interesting after awhile, I asssure you.
Hope you’re having a swell 4th of July in San Diego! And from reading your previous post about your birthday and Juan’s present (I lurk, be wary), I’m sure you had a great 14th birthday :)
go there it’s a pretty nice campus!

“..unlike most car rides..“ Since when was the last time you enjoyed the scenery in a car ride? I know I… never have.

you’re not going to UCSD?!?!??!?

well, think of it as a fun road trip (or not)
but you’re going to the beach… at San Diego, I need to go to one and let the sun touch my skin… ooah.

I am quite late, but I hope you’re having fun! I’ve always wanted to go to Sea World.
