Why I Sound Kooky When I Speak

Lately, I've been experiencing all kinds of stress. From going through all kinds of berserk moments to complications in my living situation. Anyone who ever talks to me, will know that I'm the type of girl with all kinds of true crazy stories. I'm the type of girl that makes insane people look normal.

Every so often, I get into situations that makes me wonder if I am secretly being filmed for a sitcom. Kind of like the Truman Show, except more dramatically funny.

Just the other day, I had such experience. One very late night, I was driving to Downtown Disney to pick up some friends that had come to visit me. Since I was stuck at work the whole day, I decided to drop them off at Disney. The plan was to get out of work, pick them up and go back home, but plans never come out as expected.

On my way to pick up my friends, one of my tires blew out. I didn't notice and so I kept driving on the highway until I got to Disney. That's when things got worse...


In Downtown Disney, 10 minutes later....


Of course, it wasn't just a flat tire you could easily repair. In fact, it was irreparable. Luckily, I had a spare tire.



Unfortunately, the tire ended up being the wrong replacement tire for my car. So we decided to ask for help.




We did manage to find a good man, who just so happened to work at the chocolate store to help us out with  the tire, but that was after taking a taxi all the way to Walmart to buy a lug wrench (I didn't have one in my car). Of course there was nothing much to do since the tire was irreparable and it was around 1 a.m. so I couldn't just buy another tire.

Finally, after doing everything possible to fix the car, a man working at Downtown Disney decided to pay a taxi to take us home (I guess they aren't all puppets).

So I got back home with nothing, but the irreparable, flat tire. My car was left in hell Downtown Disney with the puppets security people.

The next morning...


I think some people actually took this as a joke on my FB, but what I had to deal with was much more serious. Especially, since I couldn't find anyone to give me a ride to Downtown Disney and had to take yet another taxi to the tire center. On top of that, rolling the tire on the side of the road, was becoming a little dangerous.




Well, needless to say, we did get to the tire place in a taxi and one of my friends did rescue me from having to spend 100 dollars on a taxi to Downtown Disney. My friends and I were finally able to put the new tire on my car and we were finally able to get back home with the car. Although, it was a horrible experience at the moment, it makes quite a comical story. Especially, if I emphasize the part where I was looking like a hobo carrying a tire down the streets of Orlando.

Of course, it wasn't the only thing that had happened to me, which only makes me sound even more kooky, but I'll leave the rest of the stories for another day.

I'm not sure what I was trying to say, but this also proves that I DO sound kooky when I speak.


I should really consider starting my own 'the shit Hanny says' page.

Three Months Later and Christmas is Here!

Okay, so Christmas isn't here, but I never got to show the Christmas pictures of my amazing trip to England.  In fact there are many things I have not posted; from crazy adventures to everyday accidents. Those stories, however, will be for another day. So without anymore delay, the wonderful pictures from my trip.

The first thing I did was go into a pub.

Somewhere in Cambridge.

I loveeee the telephone booths.

A little market place somewhere in Cambridge.





Underground.

I never knew London had a Chinatown...and I've only been in London at least 5 times.



Proof that I was in England! and no it was no photoshopped or else I would have made myself look like a model.


Westminister Abbey.

Wellington Arch in London.

@_@ Me+Sweets=KABOOM!!

Kings Cross station (Yes, this is where they made platform 9 3/4 for Harry Potter and no, I did not go see the famous platform.

Cool statue in the train station.

A huge sculpture in the train station.

My transportation for the few days I was there.

The houses are so cute ^_^

I was in the middle of nowhere visiting friends.


Every church in England seems to have a cemetery, which is not seen in the U.S.

I definitely forgot the name of this place, but I believe it was a type of museum. I just remember a whole bunch of people walking dogs.

Me again! 

The name of this place made me laugh. Imagine shopping at the cow. "Oh I got this dress at the cow, do you like?" 

King's College London....Damn I should have gone to this school.

Somewhere around the universities.

I believe this was part of the university.

You could say this is college town, since Cambridge University and King's College are around.

It was so peaceful.




"I got this beautiful blouse at SweatyBetty." o_o




The grass is soooooo green for being winter.

The round church.

I love how I mostly never see this in U.S unless you are in college town.

CANDDDDDDDDDDYYYYYYYY!!!!




my new job...(not really)

Fake Michael Jackson in England 


I so want to see this.

I still haven't seen Les Miserables...somehow I feel like I'm missing something important.

Chinatown.




Very wise man.


Abraham Lincoln in England?!

My first beer in England.






This christmas tree was made out of legos.



Fish and chips. Not really my favorite, but I did tell myself I would try something different and most common in England.




I love how this picture captures how windy it was by the hair on my face, yet shows the beauty this world has (no I'm not talking about me, I'm talking about the Big Ben).


Big Ben.

Buckingham Palace.




There are more pictures, but I decided to just show the better ones. Sorry for the side way pictures and for making one of the longest posts ever.
