There I go with the 90s kick again, I just think it's so funny! Ahem, anyway, here I am again. loaded with new things about my life that I should update on!
As you probably know, I live in California, and the California State Fair is happening this year. Well, I went twice! Once to see Martina McBride in concert with my friend's family, and then again with MY family and my friend Jill.
After seeing Martina McBride, I became hooked! By the time I got home, I found a wallpaper of her for my computer, sent her a tweet on Twitter, sent her a letter, and looked up her songs online. Did I mention, my browser now has her picture on it? Yeah, call me crazy!
It was then that I started seeing some of her songs on my favorite videos on Youtube! I actually found three of her songs lurking about in my playlist on there, "This One's For the Girls" , "She's a Butterfly" and wait, that's only two, but I found out that all this time I had been loving the song "This One's For The Girls" and not realizing that it's by Martina McBride! OMG!
Okay, sorry bout that, anyway, the second time I went, I got to go off on my own with my friend and boy did we have a fun time! We even managed to see my aunt and my cousin at the Animation exhibit! Who knew! I saw them again in the next one, with the small animals!
Wow, so much to remeber, so I will put it in list form
- We went on this yellow roller coaster which was really fun
- We one little stuffed fish from a balloon game
- I failed at a basketball shooting game
- I went on a seemingly harmless ride, (the one I told you about that was at Six Flags? Yeah, read my post about it and you'll see) anyway, this one turned out to be bigger and it made my stomach queasy for the REST OF THE DAY! Curse you ride from "Madeline" the one at the end which Miss Clavel goes on!
- Oh and it made my signed "Wicked" hat fly right off my head. Some nice girls behind me on the ride told me right away! It landed on this big white box thing, so when I got off, this nice guy threw it to me and I managed to catch it
- Luckily I hadn't had breakfast, just a piece of gum, so that was sort of lucky
- Let's see, we also went on this little fire-safety passport thing for little kids, two of the "rangers" reminded me somewhat of Chris Rock, I think, either that or Elijah Kelley, the dude who was in Hairspray
- We saw a puppet show, which was kind of cute, it was part of the passport thingy
- I knew every single thing that they taught us, but it was fun to learn about it in a new way, directed at little kids
- Okay, I didn't know about safe fires and bad fires
- I got a bandanna
- This robot guy on a scooter asked my friend is she had been eating the blue crayons again, she had been eating a blue Icee!
- We asked about a signature reader thingy at the info desk, I gotta admit I was kind of nervous because it was an old guy and I was afraid he wouldn't hear me, I did have to repeat some things, basically it didn't really help
- I got my picture taken at a News10 weather thingy, I'm on the website, the tall girl in the black shirt and "Wicked" hat.
- Basically, that's about all we did
The first time I went, I had a funnel cake, kettle corn, a corndog and a lemonade, we watched a parade go by and we also sat on a slanty hill to watch Martina McBride, we waited by this gate to try and see if we could meet her, but then we gave up
I also got a license plate thing with my name on it and lip balm, which tasted like chocolate peanut butter cookies. I wish I had gotten the buttered popcorn one.
Oh, before I wrap this up, I want to say that the second time I went, I wore a shirt that I had gotten from my grandma, it read "careful, or you might end up in my novel" It is now my favorite shirt and I got quite a few comments, good ones, by the way.
I went bowling last night and got three strikes, it took me awhile to warm up , since I had taken the bowling class, but hadn't really bowled since the last day of that class
We also went to Baskin Robbins, did you know that in the new logo, the number 31 is made up of the B and the R? just learned that last night!
Okay, I am tired of blogging right now and trying to remember all the little details about the State Fair and I will blog the next time i get the chance
Sayonara!
