Toto, i don't believe we are in Kansas anymore...

day 1 of traveling has so far been very unexciting. i started off the trip feeling like i was gonna throw up, and then have been taking off and on naps. i have not gotten to drive yet, however, because the roads are apparently busy….go figure….
 i watched the movie Beastly, and thought it was good, but not as exciting as the book. i think i finally understand the phrase, “beauty is only skin deep”. Beastly is basically summed up in that phrase.  it’s about this high school boy who is very into himself, and thinks that ugly isn’t good. well, after being morphed into something that is not what you would call “fine-looking” by a witch, he has only a year to get someone to say “I love you” and break the spell. he soon realizes what it’s like to be “ugly” and in a way, kidnaps a girl that he knows has a kind heart, so that they can get to know each other, and she can maybe break the spell.

we ended the day, very tired, by staying at the Hilton Garden Inn. i soon found out that you shouldn't drink the bottles of water they have laid out so conveniently for you because they cost THREE whole dollars!!.....rip off.....(don't worry; i didn't drink any of them)

here is my deep thought for the day: what would it be like to know that you might not ever find someone to love you? i think we all have an insecurity that if we don’t live up to society’s expectations(thinking “outside the box” or maybe not doing what is considered the “normal” thing to do), we may not be loved by the thing in which we are trying to impress, or we may just live alone for the rest of our lives….the way i see it is that God has a plan for us, and he created us each a different masterpiece. of course we’re not going to do exactly what “society” wants us to, or all do the same things, because we are all different. we all have different quirks about us that make us unique, and maybe we were created equal, but that doesn’t mean we have to all act the same.

this would be my parents.
