The "Grove"

Alrighty, since so much happened yesterday at the "Grove" I decided to document it!

Okay, so we drove to LA (UGH! LONG DRIVE!) and the entire way I pestered my parents with questions about the world, religion, and politics (yeah, only a 13 year old seminerd would do that!) So the hours pasted by like this.

Who will win the Democratic GOP(?) ?

Who will win the Republican GOP(?) ?

What's the difference between Shiates and Sunis?

Who are the Kurds?

Why does it seem like no one likes Israel?

(and out of nowhere) What did Russia do?

and it went like this....for hours!

finally we arived at the Grove (mall) and went to the parking complex.... with almost no gasoline....

L1 FULL
L2 FULL
L3 FULL
L4 13
L5 FULL
L6 FULL
L7 1
L8 56

this was also an electronic board so the numbers were constantly changing.

So I said "Let's try out Level 8! Actually, better yet, Level 7 (the one with one space)"

"Why Level 7, there's only one space, we won't get it."

"Simple psycology Dad, everyone will think like you, so no one will attempt to go up there."

my brother, "What if everyone thinks like you?"

death of the genius, I was quiet.

So we went up, and up, and up, FOR 30 MINUTES! On the way I saw a girl who was talking to herself, so I did get something out of it.....lol

When we got to the top, the sign said " 67 spaces open" so we got to the roof floor with high hopes, first thing said at the top?

What happened to the 67 spaces?

The 8th floor was absolutly packed with NO SPOTS OPEN. Have you ever seen LA traffic? Don't. It's awful, and it was like that all of the cars off of Sunset Blvd. had just jammed in.

We heard a concerto of diffrently tuned car horns. :)

We decided that we weren't going to wait for the gas tank to be empty, we left. On are way down, we met a fellow country women (I'm not European). Tell me what language this sounds like.

Selam!

Selam. Mi no gashe?

Ahhhh, minim spots left. (our language is a mixture with other languages for modern things)

Minim? Minim? Yekqirta.

minim no. Ciao

Ciao.

We also asked where the nearest gas station was, but I don't speak fluently, and I'm tired of translating... SO GUESS WHAT/WHICH LANGUAGE(S)!!!!!

We drove by another lot...and guess what?

3 PARKING SPACES! We went in no questions asked. Gasoline? What Gasoline? lol

Our first destination? Barnes and Noble. We stayed there for a while (and I read 4 volumes of Chibi Vampire) so I was really happy. Then we went to the World Market (like trader joes but more....diverse.) and got some italian cakes (for someones gift we were giving today) and I got 70% dark chocolate. I really liked it, but I decided I would take the intensity in levels, next 85% then 99%. I wonder how bitter it will be...........................................

So we went home after we picked up my mom who went to see family. The End!

But on the way back, I thought of another story. One of a servant girl who fights (and blackmails) her way to power. Then, I thought, I'll execute her at the end of the story. I was so proud of my self till I finally discovered that I more or less came up with Anne Bolyen (sp?), a real wife of Henry the VII. Will I ever come up with anything original? sigh...

bye, be back soon! Have a nice Vetrean's Day weekend!
