Blogging in LA 5/15/10

Little kids. What is with little children and there constant need to make unnecessary noises? While waiting to board my plane at LAX, 3 young children surrounded me. What sounded to be a horribly tuned choir, there were 3 kids “humming.” My mother informed me this is their way of entertaining themselves. Children are such a strange species. I mean, what if we all just busted out singing in the airport? What kind of world would we be living in? A really, really annoying one. Anyway, I feel there’d be a more efficient way of entertaining oneself. Take listening to music for one. Read a book maybe? Oh wait, they’re like 3 year old. I’ve made my point.

The Hills. Something about girls bitching at each other and sisters and brothers hating each other sucks you in. And it doesn’t really leave a happy feeling inside for either party. What is it with fake celebrities like Heidi Montag? Not to mention her psycho husband, Spencer. She lives a life of glamour and well…plastic glee. In a recent episode, Heidi flies to Colorado to visit her mother for the first time after her 34,678 plastic surgeries she received in one day. Her mother was evidently upset (no, really?) and Heidi expected her to greet her with open arms. So guess what we got? We got a really dramatic and entertaining episode of The Hills. I think it’s a bit much to go through a bunch of surgeries like she did and not even mention it to her own mother. On top of that, to expect her mother to be pleased with her MJ-esque transformation.

Sisters. Can’t do with ‘em, can’t do without. No, but really. A partner to keep you entertained mid flight via trivia games on the iPhone, as well as someone to shop with. A sister is someone you can make fun of and still be really close to! A novel idea. After a weekend trip to Los Angeles with the family, it’s only natural to do the same things as your sister. You can either take naps and be boring (mom and dad), sit around drink beer and talk about music (brothers), or go get Pinkberry, shop around and be given a full-on explanation of everything that Mac Paint Pots can do for you. Thanks, Maddy. I’ve been enlightened.

Countries. One thing I’d love to do in this lifetime is visit as many countries as physically and financially possible. Also, to learn as many languages as possible. I was recently asked if I considered myself a linguist. I thought to myself (after I chuckled) and said, “you know, YEAH.” Even though I’m not, that would be really cool to know lots of languages. Language. I see it as a secret code of extremely different cultures and exciting places. Anyway, back to countries—I played some trivia games that involved thinking of every country in the world. We came up with 75 out of 190. So, go me? I’ve got to get on top of that. GrrrrAAAUUU. P.S. There IS a country named Djibouti. You’re welcome.
