I'll get to that later.

Anyways, I totally banked on my promise to write about all four days of the conference. >_>"" Some future day when I feel motivated I'll look back and be like, holy @$^* I don't remember anything.

Anyways, tomorrow the Jazz Band is performing at a restaurant in Berkeley (I'm not going to mention the name, I'm feeling a little paranoid about stalkers right now). I'm pretty excited about it. I don't know how long I'm staying though. I kind of want to stay to watch the high school, and besides, the Jazz Band gets its own little room or something like that to eat.

Oh, about the taskbar. Okay, so today we were installing a new graphics card in my computer because my widescreen monitor had a weird resolution, and we installed updates, yada dada da. Ok, so, I turned on the monitor and changed the resolution, and we were all like, "oooh, aahhhh" until someone noticed the TASKBAR WAS GONE.

We basically spent all day, not counting drawing and piano lessons, looking for it. It wasn't on the edges, the windows key and ctrl esc didn't do squat, etc. Connie said do ctrl alt del\new talk/explorer. That didn't work either. I even ran avast because I read something on the internet about a person who found a deleted a trojan virus and got their whole desktop back. Nufink. So I was reading down this forum I found of people who'd been having the same problem, and this one person mentioned this site. All the people who tried it got their desktops back, so I tried it, and voila! My world is complete! xD

Don’t even look at the individual entry pages or anything. I’m done for today. =.=”

You probably noticed that the right side is completely gone. I’m working on it.

After dinner, that is. :3

Eww, broken. Will fix tomorrow. I suggest you look away.

Last week, we went on a cruise to Hawaii on the Pride of Aloha, an NCLA ship. My rating: 3.5-4 stars. Not all that great, because as one passenger put it, "It's American!" ::rolls eyes::

First impression: My sister and I walked into our room and found a couple things.

• Slightly flattened paper cup under my bed.
• Neon green bouncy ball on the floor.
• Wet, possibly used towel discarded on the floor of the bathroom.

Not a great start. :/

On the first night, we walked into an Asian fusion restaurant and were told that they were out of grouper (yes, on the first night). Later in the week, we were told again and again that there was no grouper. By the end of the week, we just stopped thinking about grouper. =.=;

On the plus side, our cleaning guy was really nice. He made us towel animals. ^.^ One of them was a monkey that he put on a hanger and hung over my bed. XD

Now of course, the point of the cruise was not to hang out on the boat all of the time, so we did go out and spend a lot of time at the ports. The beaches were really really really awesome, even though I can't swim. XD I drown with Connie. :3 Actually, I can sorta kinda swim, I just don't go very far. At all. ::cough:: In Kona, my mom and sister went snorkeling while I floated around with my swimming noodle. xD It was really cool, because you could see the sea turtles by the shore. ^.^ Two of them tripped my mom in the water. xDDDD She almost fell over. ::lol::

What else? Ah...the incident... ::DUNDUNDUNNNNN::

Stupid stupid Maui Divers Jewelery. D: They must teach their employees some creepy persuasion technique for selling jewelery. (Psst. Lloyd, I hope this doesn't apply to any of your relatives or anything. o.o") Okay, so, my sister really wanted a special turtle piece of jewelery, and she was looking for one allll week. So, we were shopping in Hilo Hattie (Maui), and MDJ has a little booth in there. So, after we'd combed the store for turtle stuff and found nothing to her liking, we just stumbled over the the booth/counter and looked at MDJ's stuff. Biiig mistake. This guy immediately started to work his creepy persuasion stuff on us and somehow got us to buy not one pendant, but two. D: After my mom tried to wheedle a discount out of him, he finally relented and let us choose an oyster and get the pearl for free. Biiiigger mistake. My mom let me pick the oyster, so I picked up the tongs and started poking around.

I swear I was going to pick the oyster next to it, I SWEAR. I don't know what made me choose that other one. =.=" The point is, when the dude opened the oyster and poked through its flesh, he didn't find a pearl.

HE FOUND TWO. PINK ONES.

Now most of you, along with the seller, would say, "Wow, so lucky! That's so rare! Oooh! Pretty!" However, unlike the seller, you probably would not be shouting this all over the store while ringing an abnormally large and loud bell nonstop for approximately two minutes. Ouch. >.< After exclaiming, "TWINS! TWINS! TWINS! TWINS!" for about a minute, he slipped back into "Would you like to buy this?" mode and tried to sell us a pendant. Now, he insisted that the "twins" shouldn't be separated, so he brought out the cheapest two pearl pendant he had, which was not cheap. =.=" Somehow he used his powers to make us buy that too.

He did throw in two free mugs.

Well, as you can see, there’s no new layout here.

._____.,

With everyone redesigning their blogs, I feel really incompetent with this stupid default layout.Okay, enough whining. I will TRY REALLY HARD to finish it this week. I originally had this whole “SURPRISE ALINA HAPPY NEW YEAR!” thing going on…but then I forgot about vacation. xD

Hawaii updates are coming soon, including entries about beaches, American cruise ships (D:), grouper, and cursed bad good luck.
