After 2+ hours at the doctors,

Numerous tests, and a few freaking out machines, I now know I don't have asthma, but I don't know what's wrong with my breathing, or should I say lack there of. So tomorrow I'll have to go get my blood tested to see if it's thyroid problems or an iron deficiently (which is what they are thinking as of now). Then friday I get to go back in and find out what they think is going on. So hopefully they can figure it out, so I can start breathing again.

On the plus side, the doctor / doctors assistant were really nice, and I had my ipod so it wasn't too bad of a doctors visit.

But one the negative is that I am super exhausted from all the tests, and plus they put me on xanax because my heart rate was really high. They think I might be subconsciously stressing because I can't breathe, or my heart might be overcompensating because I can't breathe, it's working extra hard. Or something, I don't really recall. And the xanax also makes me tired. So until friday, I'll be pretty tried.
I want to sleep now, but it's not even 9. And if I go to sleep now I'll be getting up crazy early.

Is it bed time yet?

I'm back! :)

In case you were wondering where I've been, I was in california. It kinda sucks there in general, but this time wasn't too bad. I went to a place called Windsor, I guess it's in wine country, because there were vineyards everywhere and a bunch of wine tasting places around. So we left last sunday at like 5 or 6 in the morning, and came back yesterday (sunday). So we spent a week there. During that time I, saw Captain America (  Go see it, now  ), went to the beach, went to Santa Cruz beach boardwalk (scariest day of my life, but I'll touch on that in a bit), went on a 10 mile canoe ride (worst thing ever, you know how lazy I am! Plus I got sunburned from being out in the sun for 5 hours [smiley4 ]), and I did some swimming / tanning. So it was ok.

So Captain America,  
I would highly recommend seeing it  It was definitely one of my favorite super hero movies. I can't say favorite for sure, because I loved Loki in Thor He's not a bad guy, he's just misunderstood. Plus you know, if Odin hadn't kidnapped him he wouldn't be in this situation. . So I think those two are tied. My brother didn't like it, he said it was one of this least favorite ones, but I thought it was amazing. Well I also just love that time period in general, so it worked for me  Ryan isn't as into WW2 as I am, so it wasn't really his cup of tea, so to speak. But seriously guys, go see it! Amazing!
 

The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk,  
Dear god. Scariest day of my life. So let me start off by saying that there is only one thing I am scared of in this world, not dying, or spiders, or Ronald McDonald, it is falling. Like if I was to go skydiving, I would probably pass out, or maybe throw up, or cry, or possibly all three, though I don't know how that would work, and I probably don't want to. So back to the park. We got there and we went on one of those pirate ship rides that swings you back and fourth really high, and I was kinda freaking out when we would go down, I was like "Ooooooooooh crap." But then I was fine when we were going up. And afterwards I was all "Oh ya, I showed you ride! Ha!" And then the boys (my brother and his friend) were all "Let's go on that one." beachboardwalk.com/02_doubleshot.html So I looked and I was all "Oh shit ". This ride shoots you 125 ft in the air, then drop you down, just as fast. So they were all "Come one" very peer pressure style. Sorta like this, but not for smoking www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HCdRk0o5yk
So I was all "Uhhh ok, why not?" I figured hey, I was on vacation, was that not the purpose, to do crazy stuff you wouldn't normally do? Then we waited in line for just about ever (seriously though, the lines were crazy long), and when it finally got to our turn, I was all "FBLKSUARLY38R7 QYWROFV HSFHS L8AFYA8!!! Why did I agree to this?!?!?!?!?"
 
It may look like I was smiling, but on the inside I was dying a little. So then it shot me up and I was all "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH DEAR GOD I'M GOING TO DIE!" Then it was all just kidding, I'm gonna drop you now, then woosh, I was falling and again I was all OH SHIT! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH So I was holding on to that safety bar like no other. Seriously though, scariest moment of my life. We also went on a roller coaster (which wasn't as bad as the dropy one, but was still crazy), and then I went on one that started off pretty bad (Like freaky), but then calmed down. 

This guy. It starts off on the ground, flat, then raises up, and faces you out like that. My goodness, it was crazy, when it was going up, and I guess sideways is how you'd describe it, I was freaking out, going all "Why do I keep agreeing to this crazy stuff?" But then once it was in the air, it wasn't so bad. We also went on a few other rides, like a ferris wheel, this ski lift type of thing that takes you from one side of the park to the other, and a bumper car thing where you aren't supposed to hit each other? But I kept getting bombarded by this little boy who just kept laughing, so clearly it wasn't forbidden. But ya, it was a crazy day.

So that my friends, is why I haven't been on in a while. I didn't bring my laptop because I thought it might be too crowded with it, because we had 5 people, in a 5 seater car, plus all the bags. And I didn't know if we'd have wifi. We didn't. At time share places they have this corded internet thing that you can borrow (we didn't have to pay for it because we're "elite" whatever that means, well actually I know what it means, it makes us VIPS you could say), but it only worked one laptop at a time, and my dad was constantly on, so I don't know if I would have been able to get on anyways. But I'm back now!
