so today. still waiting for the time when i have to go meet heather and ty at the falls. i did all the things i had to do, except put my laundry in the dryer. i’ll do it before i leave so mom can take it out later *evil grin*. the thing i hate most about laundry is taking it out of the dryer. i swear i washed the car in 15 minutes. i got up at 10 and did the usual morning routine, ate, talked to my mom etc. went out, filled washer fluid, checked the oil and tire pressure, washed the car, and i was finished just after 11. not sure how that worked lol. anyway. it’s washed, not very well cuz the damn bugs don’t ever come off. my neighbor brought over rainx for me for my windshield so i guess i’ll go attempt to do that.

it’s friggen hot outside. the maid of the mist will feel good. i didn’t really do my hair today since it’ll probably just get wet. i need money.

my parents are going away this weekend apparently. i told my mom i have a date on saturday, and she seemed too happy about it lol. i’m like no it’s not really a date. she’s like, doesn’t matter, in my day if you went anywhere with a boy it was a date. lol then she all asked about him, and i’m like doesn’t matter, he’s leaving in december. she’s like, that’s too bad you finally meet a nice boy and he’s leaving. IT’S NOT A DATE. and i never said he was nice lol. but now she’s all happy that i met someone. blah. last night when i got home from work she was saying something…oh yeah, in regards to brooke and her boyfriend, she said something to me about how i need to go out and meet nice boys with good jobs. she’s itching to get me out of here i think. i also told her today that andy wants me to move to DC with him, and she’s like DC is expensive BUT SHE DIDN’T SAY IT WAS A BAD IDEA LOL. andy thinks i’m humoring him about actually moving down there with him, just like i think he’s humoring me by continuously suggesting it and saying he’s going to look for apartments for us. lol

 

i’m bleeding through the bandaid on my finger. this sucks. stop bleeding.

right, the falls. ty and heather were going to leave at 1:30, and that meant 3:30 meeting in the falls. we figured on 3:30 since it took us 2 hrs to get from heathers house to the falls last week. well they called at quarter after 1 and said they’d be there in an hour. i didn’t check the answering machine until quarter after 2. so i was like FUCK!! i called their cell and they had just gotten to the falls in canada. so i raced down there, and ended up being at hard rock a few minutes before they got there. worked out good.

so we got drinks at hard rock, and realized that staff is not allowed to sit AT the bar even off duty. not sure why, just policy i guess. but anyway…walked to the falls, went on the new but not yet finished observation deck, and down to the maid of the mist. we were the only 3 people in the elevator.
kid: first time here
me: no i live here
kid: are you sara etten?
me: yes. who are you?
kid: i’m joey gotowko’s little brother
me: OMG!
hahahaha. it was crazy. did not recognize him AT ALL. i haven’t seen him in about 10 years. it’s bizzare that he knew who i was. cuz i never officially met him. i knew him cuz joe pointed him out to me in elementary school or something. and he said he recognized me from mcdonalds lol. also weird, because people i went to high school don’t recognize me anymore, since i cut my hair off, and he still did. very weird. but talked to him for a few min, and then went on the maid of the mist. GOT SO WET. didn’t get that wet last time i was on it, which was 10 years ago as well. they don’t give you real rain coats anymore, they give you plastic bag ponchos lol. it was hot out tho, so it felt nice. there was so much mist you couldn’t see the middle of the horse shoe falls even tho they go right up to it.

after that, we got dippin dots icecream. i had been craving it for a while but was too cheap to get it at the fair last week. so we got that, walked to goat island, looked at the falls more and then headed to canada to go to planet hollywood. not very happy with my dinner. it was gross. captain crunch chicken fingers…they were good last time. this time, so not good. they were like mushy, and blah gross. then we walked up clifton hill and went to the Alien Encounters museum. they have exhibits of famous space aliens, and stuff. then you go through a nightmares type dark maze thing, where they jump at you and stuff. so that was fun. finally went to the rock and roll legends wax museum. omg it was so awful. like, good awful tho. it was so cheesy and great. all the wax statues had huge heads. hahaha. totally not madame tussauds quality here. but they had trent LOL. they had marilyn manson, and it moved. it was very realistic. seriously. haha. they had history era michael jackson in his gold suit, looked better than some of the other wax michael’s i’ve seen. bono was hideous. and the beatles, they all had the same head. hahah it was funny. oh and they had ziggy stardust bowie hehe.

walked back down clifton hill, looked at the falls and parted ways. and now i’m home. it’s hot. i feel gross from being wet, even tho i dried off quickly. the pollution in the river was disgusting.

we had a good time. i think. i had a good time. the state park is really beautiful. i haven’t been to the falls during the summer, during the day in a long long time. it’s really pretty to walk around there. while i think our side of the falls needs more things to do, it’d be a shame to ruin the park to do it. so i’m hoping the new casinos will bring stuff into the downtown to do, and they can still keep the park how it is. that’d be nice.

and i got a rebate check for 7 bucks woo hoo. i’m rich 😛 hey the 7 bucks is good considering how much i friggen spent today. i got some sun today too so i don’t look dead anymore hehe.

and stephen dorff has a new movie. fear dot com. i thought it was him in the commercial, and this time i paid attention, definitely him. i didn’t know he was in it. interesting. still won’t see it, but maybe it’ll be in theatres for more than a week, unlike his last movie lol.
