TAMPA
im just going to update now, cuz i figure... well if i dont now... than i prolly ever will...

well ill back track about a week... ok last wed, my mom dropped me off at ryanns house to go to busch gardens. but we got into this big fight and she yelled at me for crap i dont remember and then when she gavee me $100 se apologized... er...

thursday we left and ryanns mom wuz sooo stressed out. the car ride wuz kinda boring... it seemed like forever and we stopped at an orange place to get orange juice in ocala. after almost 4 hours we got to our hotel for the night "The Grande Hyatt" it was on the Tampa Bay and it was really pretty but totally boring. it was basically filled with old people... we got settled and then we went to go eat at a longhorn. that night i did not sleep well at all... i was sweating really bad and i couldnt sleep, and i kept waking uplike every hour... i was having these rly weird dreams.... but n e way friday morning we went out to eat break fast with ryanns dad, while her mom was at a meeting at the hotel. (the whole reason we went wuz cuz of a business trip of hers) breakfast was yummmy but on the way back, we got totally lost and went all the way to st. petersburg. perty drive tho. we got back to hotel at 12:45, 15 minutes b4 check and ryanns mom came in and told us that the secret service was everywhere cuz president bush had stayed the night at the hotel we were at. i thought it wuz kool. even tho i dont like him much, i still thought it wuz really cool. when we walked out of the hotel there were still a couple secret service guys and this one took off his jacket and this big ole gun wuz on his holster.

after that we drove to our next hotel, the hard rock hotel & casino. hehe, it wuz rly cool. it wuz friday, and we werent going to busch gardens until saturday. so me and ryann walked around and then decided to go to the pool. no body our age. just a lot of kids hoo were like 10 and a bunch of people hoo were over 25. me and ryann were laying out and she says to me "eewww grody alyssa, those old guys keep staring and pointing at us!" it wuz rly gross. they must have been in like their late 30s early 40s. and they were smokin and drinking and totally repulsive with their beer bellies hanging out. they just kept staring and talking about us and then they started hitting on the waitress/ bartender lady. when ryanns mom came over and layed out with us... they started talking about her too! and they prolly thought they were all hott and sexy with the way they walked around. the thing i liked the most about the pool was when u went underwater, there were speakers so u could hear the music playing that they had all over the hotel. that night we went out to this place dowtown which is a lot like our landing, only this place actaully had alot of people walking around. and it also had better resturants and a imax and movie theatre. it wuz fun, only i think me and ryann were rly pmsy, cuz we were on our periods...

saturday we woke up early to...surpise! work out! lol i think we were down at the gym aka "health club" or "fitness center" in the hotel for about 45 min to an hour. u knoe burnin them calories. then we went back up to the room and got ready to go to busch gardens. we had breakfast at villiage inn, and me and ry ended up becoming sickly, so neither of us were good company at the moment...on the way to busch gardens they was a "tiny tiger plaza" and it made me laugh.. we parked the truck and then got on the tram. when we first entered busch gardens we walked around a bit and the first rollaer coaster we went on wuz gwazi. it was a wooden roller coaster and those are the ones that freak me out just cause they dont seem very safe... but it was really fun. we got the picture too.. i hate it.. buts its kinda funnie. after that, i dont rly remember all we did. i started to feel rly dehydrated and so we got smooties and tooke sum pix. it wuz sooo hot i hated it. i love the hot weather... where i can go to the ocean or pool a couple feet away... we rode the roller coaster scorpion, and went on rhino rally. and we looked at sum animals for a bit. then we went on gwazi again and started making our way towards KUUUUUUUMBA. the roller coast me, ry and her dad were all getting hyped up about. we got sum water and then waited in line for the haunted house, only to find it full... so we start walking towards kumba and its starting to get cloudy, and u would hear sum thunder here and there but it all sounded pretty far away. we got in line for KUUUUMBA and a couple people started leaving cuz they stopped the roller coaster when the lighting started to get rly close. we were figuring it was going to pass very quickly, cuz thats usually how rain is in the summer time, and so we stayed. it started to rain, not heavy at all but a bunch of people left. and then it started pouring. lightning was everywhere. we waited for about an hour... and it didnt let up. it wuz funnie cuz every time me and ryann would get close to the rail, lighting to strike rly close and we would jump and scream.. about 45 minutes later... it let up a little and ryanns dad decided that we were going to start heading to the truck. at first it wasnt raining so hard... and then it came down a little harder and we started walking faster.... and then it started to friggin pour so hard i have never been in so much rain. i could not see worth a darn the rain was stinging my my face and all over my body it felt like little tiny freezing needles all over my body. a lot of people were in ponchos or occasional umbrellas. but most were huddled in shops and resturants. then the freaks trying to get to their cars. us. lol. i knoe they allways tell you to never go under a tree when its a thunderstorn and its lightning and stuff but that was the only thing i wanted to walk under cuz it didnt hurt so bad. i dont knoe how far we walked... but we were all the way on the other side of the park.. we might have walked a mile and a half. i dont knoe but it felt like 5. my feet hurt and i pools of water in my sneakers and every part of me wuz soaking me. me and ryan jumped into a fountain cuz the water wuz rly warm and it felt so good. i felt rly bad for her mom bcuz her mom hated it, being wet, and cold and in ur clothes... her hairspray was running into her eyes and she started crying... awwww. it wuz pretty fun actually after u got over the fact that it wuz freezing... until it started hailing. that friggin hurt. we found this one exit... only the gate was locked.. so we had to walk all the way around to the other one to get our other tickets so we could come back the next day free. everybody was so wet. i started shivering and finnally we got the tickets so we got out of the park and the tram station to take us all the way to parking lot, had a ton of people waiting and we didnt want to stand there and wait 2 trams untill we could go. so we walked. and the parking lot wuz not close at all. it was pretty far away. and bolts of lighting start flashing everywhere... and here i am in the middle of parking lots.. i wuz scared. and the hail hurt like a mother. but after wut seemed like forever we finally got to the truck. warmth! lol.

when we got to the hotel everyone wuz staring at aus cuz we were so wet, and they all started whispering about ryanns mom cuz she looked the worst and they're all like "oh that poor lady. how did she get so wet?" when we got into our room, ryanns mom took a hot shower and then after she got out so did i. it felt good. cuz b4 i felt like i would never be warm again. after that we all started getting rdy to go out and eat. me and ry didnt rly feel like going out to eat so we went to one of the resturants in the hotel called "the green room." a couple minutes after we sat down, this big group of people came in, and sat behind us. there wuz this one lady hoo looked about 55 where this extremely skimpy dress and drag queen make up. she had her 2 daughters, her grandaughter and her granddaughters bf, and a bunch of other guys i couldnt tell hoo they were. i turned around real quick and the grandaughter, hoo is kinda chunky where a tight orange shirt and this white skirt up her butt... was looking down at her bf.. hoo wuz licking her boob. gross. then the next thing i knoe... she starts frenching her mom! omg.. it wuz so gross.. wut a disfunctional family. the gurl in the orange turned around and said "oh sorry i wuz just making out with my mom... u knoe. itz her birthday." they kept talking about all this weird stuff. meanwhile , me ry and her dad were all mimicking dot and stuart from mad tv. it wuz perty funnie. "if i act like a parrot can i sit on ur shoulder?" ahaha. our food took forever bcuz sumthing went wrong with out order in the kitchen so the manager gave us free desert. even tho we were all too full. i started feeling rly sick (i dont knoe y, but lately if i eat to much i get rly rly sick.. and i dont even eat that much actaully) so me and ry went to the bathroom. and we were just standing around and these 2 ladies from that table behind us came in. so ryann wuz like "alyssa quick, they came in! bending over the trash can and pretend ur about to throw up" so i wuz standing there.. breathing in the fresh scent of paper towels..waiting... and finally they both come out and they're like "oh poor dear r u ok? whats wrong?" and ryann told em i wuz sick... and they asked me if i drank too much. and i said "yeah" cuz i had like 3 glasses of lemonade. but they were talking about drinking... sumthin else. so they start laughing and are like "yeah we knoe wut that will do to ya hahaha" so they told to me to splash cold water on my face, and sip on sum water or ice.. but not to "drink" n e more. then they start telling me and ry about how her daughter is trying to sneak into the club at the hotel, with a fake idea, but shes too scared it'll get scanned. then she said "but she loks 5 so i dont see a problem" they asked us if we were trying to... but we werent. all in all, they were rly nice.

after we took the desert up to our room, me and ry had sum and then we explored and went on almost all the floors to see hoo wuz having a partay. we went down to the lobby and sat on the couch or ''lounge" and just watched people. it wuz fun. except almost every single person wuz drinking and smoking and getting broke in the casino. most of the women wore as little clothing as possible.. even if they looked horrible. but for everysingle person hoo wuz smoking i wanted to take it away and tell them they were killing themself. when we got back to our room we reeked of smoke.

sunday morning we woke up early packed, checked out and went out to eat breakfast. we got to the park and went on the python and then went up to kumba.. but ... kumba was broken. it wuz stuck at the top of the drop... and people were on it. this one water ride was too. and they had to walk down... and gwazi had gotten struck by lightning, so it wasnt running. i wuz so mad. but me and ryann went on the water rapids and got soaked. but the line was so long. were were gone for like an hour and kumba still wasnt working. they had gotten the people off tho. they had to walk down the stairs. and that is one long walk cuz the drop was very high. after like 2hours kumba started gain but they had to test in like 20 million times. we were the first in line so we got to be in the front. it was the best roller coaster ive ever been on. it wuz long too. we rode it again, only in the back, and u rly get whipped. it wuz a load of fun. but i couldnt walk straigh and it made my head hurt. i think we rode 1 or 2 more rides and then we had to go home. it wuz interesting to see the kinds of people there. most were either country or latino. hardly n e body spoke english. and they all we wearing skimpy clothes. so i saw lots of rolls...

but i hada rly fun couple days. i love ryanns parents and i love ryann! shes great. i rly miss her now tho... cuz shes gone for 3 weeks and im lonely...

well im out
tahtah

That would be for me
