where's cammy?

I haven't written in a while. It's not that I am too busy to or anything. It is most likely because I don't have anything to complain about anymore! This town really has affected my mood for the better!

Recently I have found that I am very interested in RPG games and a friend has gotten me addicted to one called Tales of the Abyss. Apparently this is one of many "Tales" games. I never thought I would be the type to start playing video games obsessively. I mean sure, PackRat and Scrabulous can keep my attention for hours on Facebook, but those aren't the same. Being as ignorant as I am to the gaming world, I have no idea what I am doing just yet. I don't know the terms or anything and I still feel kinda like an outsider entering this whole new world when I go over the guys house where we all get together and play. But I just follow the story line and kick some monster butt when I have to. I guess that's the point though, huh? But the story and the detailed character costumes are what keeps my attention I think. Oh and I love the Wii games! Haha. I get really into the tennis one. And the bowling. Thank god I personally don't have any game consoles or else I wouldn't leave the house!

I'm also still getting the hang of driving around up here in Philly. Now that I'm more familiar with the streets and the stoplights being on the right hand side like a stop sign, I can maneuver around much better in a minivan (which is not so "mini" compared to my neon which I am used to!).

Oh, Pann. I never knew you loved tofu so much. :) And yes, you can haz computer pillow.

Here are my random factoids.

1. At age 20, I still suck my thumb. It's the most embarrassing thing I can share. At night, I will start off with my hand under my pillow or body... yet somehow it always finds its way into my mouth before morning. And it's always my left thumb.

2. I like making ATC's, also called Artist Trading Cards. And then I trade them with people all over the world. I learned about them when I first lived in Philly at an event during the Philadelphia Fringe Festival. That was about 4 years ago and I have been creating and trading ever since.

3. I love watching colorguard/winterguard videos on youtube. Here's one of my Favorites

4. I was really young when I first saw the movie Jurassic Park and it scared me so bad i ran out of the house. I think it was the first scary movie I ever watched. To this day I still occasionally have nightmares about T-Rex's stomping down my house and crushing my dad's old blue GMC Jimmy.

5. I was a girl scout for 11 years. It was so much fun! I would love to volunteer my time and be a leader someday!

6. The first time I actually thought about how wide the world is and realized that my family isn't the only thing I will ever know was when i was about 4. I was jumping on my bed wearing a blue dress with white polka dots. I remember it very clearly.

7. This one is the hardest to share. I only believe in God so I can be mad at him for what happened to my mom. When I was 14 she would have bad headaches and her Dr. discovered she had a brain aneurysm. She was operated on but the dr made a careless mistake causing stress on her brain which resulted in sezures and she went into a coma for a few days. She was also sexually harrassed during her stay by a janitor at the hospital and she coudn't defend herself due to results of the surgery. She went into the hospital as what I think of as my mom. She came out paralyzed on the left side of her body and unable to care for herself, let alone her 14 and 12 year old daughters. Her memory was affected a little and her personality changed alot. I can;t be around her for long periods of time because it hurts so much and I can't do anything to have her back the way she was. I know I should be grateful she is alive but it's not the same. I'm very ashamed of how I see this but I don't know how to change the way I see her. I miss my mommy. I know it isn't her fault. 

i made it to philly!

Wow, it has been a while since that last post. No I didn't die in a horrific plane crash! However I was in air an extra hour or so due to an ice storm in Philly. Joy.

Holy cow, where has the time gone? I seriously love it here. I get to live with awesome cousins who have awesome children (not just saying that because I know you read this pann! ^_~) And everything is just... AWESOME! LoL. I need a thesaurus.

So far I have spent my time adjusting to the move. I can't say it has been hard because Pann and her family have been so wonderful! They redecorated a room for me and I LOVE it. It is so bright and colorful. I am so thankful that they have welcomed me with such open arms.

I am also trying to adjust to the cold.
*What is this feeling? Where is the warmth of the sun? Where are my Palm Trees?!*

And the days are going by so fast now that I have something to do and people to interact with.

So thats where I have been. But I promise I will be back soon.

first step

I have made my first step on my journey to Philly. Yesterday I said my goodbyes to family and friends in PSL,FL. NL and I picked K up from her parents and set off for the West Palm Beach train Station. I will be staying with K today and she will drive me to the Miami airport tomorrow. I am kind of sad at how I left NL. He was handing me my luggage and then the train conductor announced "Step clear of the doors". I leaned out and kissed him quickly, said, "I love you" and, "Goodbye." I really wish it hadn't have been so rushed! I am going to miss him ALOT! I love him and I know he understands that I have to do this for me. I just wish I could have held onto him for a few moments longer.

i can't really sleep...

...so I'm watching Jeff Dunham Clips. This guy is a ventriloquist with many personalities... so far this is my favorite...

Achmed the Dead Terrorist

woohoo

I just got rid of all 3 of my prom dresses on freecycle, too!

Bye, bye chains of bondage! I shall rid thineself of clutter!
