Well, not really. Not for me, anyway. My sister had pestered us about going down to Hollywood for a couple of weeks now. She wanted to see the
Hollywood Walk of Fame crap. Oh and the Hollywood
sign, of course. She got excited when we passed by it. As I was looking at it I thought, "And people wanted to paint the American flag on it. Patriotic bullshit." We walked for a while looking at shit. A lot of tattoo shops, I tell you. Museums too. We passed by the
Hollywood Wax Museum,
Guinness World of Records, and
Ripley's Believe It or Not. We decided to eat something before we went inside anything first. We were hella hungry. We passed by the
El Capitan Theater while looking for a place to grub, too. That
Home On the Range movie was on and everyone working there were dressed as farmers/cowboys. We looked for a while before deciding on a Mexican restaurant. So typical. In front of this restaurant was the
Mann's Chinese Theater. Anyway, I had nachos. Mmmmmm. I haven't had some in years. Missed them. I felt nauseous after I ate them, though. I was staring outside from the second floor of the restaurant towards the theater and watching all the tourists. There were a lot of characters there too. Batman, Superman, Gandalf... Darth Vader. Too many to mention, but it was fun to watch, I guess. They were messing with people and such. I told my sister, "If one of them touches me... I am going to spike them."
We finished eating and went outside to check out the footprints from previous celebs. My feet are pretty much the same size as Michael Keaton's feet. My sister really wanted to see Shirley Temple and spent a good while looking for it, but too many people were on the damn cement and well, it was probably not there. I loved The Marx Brothers. :D The biggest feet I saw there were... Donald Duck's. Yeah. We looked at more stuff after that before deciding to go into the
Kodak Theater. A lot of stairs. It's nothing really. Just another damn mall. There was one of those "make your own teddy bear" stores, though! Imma go in there one day. Been wanting to for a while. More walking. Everytime my mother would see some "punk" or "goth" she would point it out and say, "Hey Cris, one of your people." Time after time, I would tell her... "Not my people. I have no people." She thinks it's funny. Always does that.
Her: Well, you're like Kolin, no?
Me: Yeah, that's different, though.
And it is. Eh. While walking up the street I saw a crowd and went over to check it out. There were some breakdancers. It was cool. I didn't want to leave, but the FA-MI-LY wanted to keep going. Fun shit. We headed to the wax museum after that. It was alright. I saw Pamela Anderson and I asked my stepdad, "Her tits that big? Is she that small?" Well, if it's an "exact" replica of her... she is short. While going through the Horror Films section, my mother and sister kept walking slowly and behind my stepdad and I. Hell, it took a while for anyone to even go in. I was like, "God," and walked in. It was neat. Cheap blood and such. Yeah, I was kinda cautious just in case some worker was there to scare the visitors, but nothing like that happened. It was funny how my mother, sister, and stepdad kept pushing me in every time we went into a different room. Nothing happened at all. Only a fucking clown popped up. Whatever. To tell you the truth... the statues were crap. Sometimes it didn't even look like the damn actor. There were even some spanish celebs in there like Celia Cruz, Vicente Fernandez, and of course... Cantiflas. Overall it was alright. My favorite was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I loved Charlie Chaplin, though. Eating a shoe. Mmmm. And for some reason... they had Mario in there. Yeah, that's right. Mario Mario from the Mario Brothers. I don't remember much except when we left there was a Charlie Chaplin impersonator outside. That was awesome to see.
Ack. So, after that we went straight into the Guinness museum. Takes a long time to go through all of it. Most of the shit was awesome. While walking though I was playing with my sister's slinky (had been all day) and I went over towards a group of men that were watching some shit on the TV. I just stood there messing with my slinky while watching whatever was on. One of the men next to me looked at me, I smiled, and he turned away. Then he turned to look at me again and looked away. Then again for the third time and said, "A slinky!" Acted like he'd never seen one before. Interesting stuff in there. Like there was this man that sat on a column for 45 years until his death or how this man was struck by lightning seven times and was never killed. He ended up taking his own life because his love rejected him. Kinda sad to watch a picture of that man smiling big and knowing he died miserably I skipped the sports section. I saw the smallest woman ever. She was the size of my teddy bear. And the tallest man? Good God. I think I went up to his waist. Tall-ass motherfucker. Big head and hands too. Imagine how big his... Oh, there was this thing were you can weigh yourself. It was some balance thing. On one side there was the heaviest human that ever lived and on the other side there was a scale for anyone to get on it. All of us got on it and we all weighed around 700 pounds. Not even close to that man. My mother weighed herself, weighed around 200 pounds, and I could tell that she was really hurt. When my stepdad told me I didn't say anything. I had a little flashback. It was when she found out that I weighed 200 pounds and went running over to my aunt's house to tell her. That pissed the fuck out of me. Embarrassing. Probably made her feel better that her daughter weighed more than she did. Whatever. I could have been dramatic about it and said, "TWO-HUNDERED POUNDS! DAMN!" But I didn't. I, instead, got up on the scale and weighed myself. It read 224. I went :o. I've weighed 230-35 since I was 15 and well... yeah. Not a big deal. I hope that made my mother feel better.
More stuff to watch and see. It was fun. We skipped Ripley's since it was already around 8 after we left Guinness. It was time to go home. While walking up there, my stepdad mentioned, "Ooooh, look at the guy staring at Cris."
Me: Shut up, man. He wasn't staring at me. I am playing with a damn slinky. Anyone will stare.
Him: Yeah right. Hahaha.
Me: I get stared at anyway, so whatever. -_-
I really don't get why. I'm not that different from anyone else. Yeah, they (family) are always doing that "Ooooh" shit. It gets old after 15-fucking years.
I wanted to make a stop at Borders, but the 'rents were tired and my stepdad promised he'd take me tomorrow. So, he better. I want my Slinky.
My allergies are coming. Damn Spring. I've had them since yesternight. All day at work I was sniffling and sneezing. My nose turned Santa Red from rubbing a napkin on it. Itchy bitch. I still am. My skin started to break out too. It's kinda different than my regular shitty acne, though. It itches. My ears itch. My body itches. My cheeks are red from scratching. I better stop, too. I always make myself bleed somehow. GRAAAAAAAAAH. *scratches*
