etude of a menagerie on the milky way

So, I think I’m going slightly insane. Or sleep-deprived. (if I wasn’t already) I’ve been jumping at trivial things, I’ve been hallucinating a couple of things, (i.e. a tarantula running in front of the kitchen sink) and I don’t know how to feel about it. Best case scenario is that I just need to get a better amount of sleep. Worst case scenario is that there’s something weird in my meds... Anyways, the road trip is sneaking closer and closer and that pleases me. I need to get In-n-Out before they open thirty minutes away from here. I’ve been craving it lately, if you haven’t noticed yet. Hmm... Oh, right, and going to that place and all the other ones seem a little more possible. Keep on Dreaming. 3-1-19 ⭐

Today was a good day. A definite good day. Despite it being very windy and cold. I got flashbacks to that night in Redding last April and how magical it felt. I also got some good noodles and some good snacks. I even got a new friend: A California Roll plushie. Today would’ve been much better if there was an unintentional upload by him. Knowing how he records, that really wouldn’t happen. But, it still would be pretty cool. Something that would also be cool is if I were to get Starbucks on the way to Disneyland. I just can’t wait ‘til we go. Especially that second day... Getting a glimpse of beautiful Santa Barbara and some delicious Chicken Ranch. Yum. Hmm, I’m just tired. And hungry. Keep on Dreaming. 3-3-19 ⭐ (“I am silly sushi California. Please look after me.”)

This week has been boring. Boring, boring, boring. Mostly because of him being out of town and not uploading. Although, there has been a new collab. It’s Wheel of Fortune and it’s been hilarious so far. Anyways, last night, I dreamt of London, England. At least I think it was London. Ugh, this week has been so boring that I don’t know what to write about. Oh, right. It was snowing a couple hours ago, which is interesting, I guess. Uuuuugh... His uploads are really that essential for a good week, huh? Keep on Dreaming. 3-9-19 ⭐

And now, a list of every movie that I saw this weekend:

1. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
2. Monty Python and the Life of Brian
3. Pulp Fiction
4. Atlantis: the Lost Empire
5. Lilo and Stitch

Thank you, Netflix. Here’s to many more. Since I’m really tired, I’m just gonna list every movie(?) that I’m planning to watch:

6. Mystery Science Theater 3000
7. Monty Python’s Flying Circus
8. Ghostbusters
9. And the multiple Indiana Jones movies.

I gotta sleep, since I prematurely woke up due to my brother raging over a game. Ehh. Keep on Dreaming. MAR-10-19 ⭐ (T-minus 12 days until happiness!! Oh, and one of those guys mentioned how he’s going to be gone practically the entirety of May. Assuming that also applies to, uh, my crush, then May isn’t going to be how it usually is. But isn’t that the normality, those guys not being able to record solo for the entirety of May? Anyways, the day when someone reads this monstrosity of a diary, this incoherent 115 pages of absolute nothing, is going to be a bad day. I can’t get Miserlou/Pump It out of my head...)

Y’know, there was something minor, but interesting happened today. My dad spotted a license plate from Kansas, and the owner of that car with the Kansas license plate actually dropped his wallet on the parking lot ground. So, my mom proceeded to hand over the wallet to the nearby Chipotle, which I guess is where the Kansan dude went. But, uhhh... Leaving Kansas for Oregon? Interesting. What’s making this week better than one helluva dull last week is that he is returning to upload, which is making me very happy, even though he uploaded an hour early twice in a row. He really resents Daylight Savings, huh? Talking about him, I was watching his older stuff while he was gone and... Him then and him now are like, two completely different people. I wonder how he would react to said older stuff. T-minus 9 days until happiness! Keep on Dreaming. MAR-13-19 ⭐

Y’know I just came to realize it, but I really like movies. Especially animated ones. When I was little, I remember watching this documentary of the beginning of Pixar, and since then, it’s kind of been a dream to work there. It just seems so cool to be there. And, as some hispanic autistic weirdo, I could bring something new to the table that people would know me for. Perhaps I could bring my spontaneous writings to life, as it deserves to be. I could be one of the story people over there. So, back to the beginning. Movies. I really like animated movies. Like, last night, I was re-watching Coco, and I was like, “wow, I really like this movie.” Anyways, earlier today the Splatoon tumblr posted this one picture and Hightide Era was in it!!! Could this be a sign??? Anyways, it’s 4:30 in the morning and I need to sleep. Keep on Dreaming. 3.14-19 ⭐ (T-minus 7 days until happiness!!!!)

You know what I should do? When we go, I should get a glass bottle, hopefully get to a beach near Santa Barbara, and fill said glass bottle with sand and maybe some shells. Anyways, a new collab is being uploaded, and it’s another blind one. What makes me really happy is that it’s Pikmin. The first new Pikmin content that I’ve seen in two years. Steve will live again! Oh, I watched Saving Mr. Banks yesterday. I smiled in a couple of scenes and shed a tear or two in another, so you could say that I really liked it. There’s this one scene which takes place at Disneyland itself, and even on King Arthur’s Carousel. That’s when I was like: “That’s it! That’s the Disneyland I know!” I could almost feel like was there in that scene, and that’s the thing that made yesterday a great day. Other than the fact that it was a really nice day to open the windows. T-minus 5 days until happiness!! Keep on Dreaming. 3-16-19 ⭐

So, today was kinda boring, since nothing interesting was uploaded. He didn’t upload for whatever reason. I hope it was only a today thing since my vacation would actually be improved by quite a lot by watching his videos along the way. Speaking of the vacation, we’re supposed to pick-up the rental tomorrow, which should be interesting, since where we’re picking it up is in the airport area. We haven’t been in that area in quite a while. I wonder why. Tomorrow is also the last day until we leave for California. Huh. I wonder how the whole airport/airplane experience is. Hmmm, I’m drawing a blank. T-minus 1 day until happiness!! Keep on Dreaming. 3-20-19 ⭐

There’s approximately 4-5 hours between now and when we leave, and honestly, I’m pretty nervous. Which is expected. But still... We’re that close... I can’t wait until we actually leave. Oh, right. A couple of cool things about the rental is that it’s from Colorado, it has these shade things on some of the windows, and it has that touchscreen thing in the front. Make sure you bring everything necessary, self. T-minus 4-5 hours until happiness! Keep on Dreaming. 3-21-19 ⭐ (today, I also watched a live stream on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in which I: A) was blind, along with the streamer, and B.) was interrupted by the fire alarm near the end and was delayed by four minutes)

day 1 summed up in a couple of words: nausea, sleep, happiness, and rain. I felt nauseous for a big part of the time spent driving, and I still don't really know why. I also yelled a long “yeah, boi!” that made me feel a bit light-headed when we reached California, but it was worth it. I wonder if we're ever going to move here. Preferably to the southern part. Here's hoping that we see the ocean and Los Angeles!!! Keep on dreaming. 3-22-19 🌟

Things I noticed today: a Golden Knights hat that I mentally glared at angrily because screw Vegas. People singing A Pirate's Life for Me. A little girl wearing a headband from Great Wolf Lodge, which is honestly inferior to Disneyland. A Hawaii license plate. How does a Hawaiian license plate get in the continental United States? Anyways, tomorrow, we’re going to Disneyland. Fun. I’m gonna get on Star Tours and get a churro as soon as I can. But not consecutively. Oh, dear. We stupidly didn't: A.) See the Staples Center, B.) See the ocean, and C.) Go the correct way to the hotel, and that upsets me. But I did get a legit picture of L.A., so... Oh, right, and when we got to the hotel, the sun was Directly In My Face!™ which was fun. Please let it be actually sunny tomorrow, I want to be happy for once. Like how when we were heading to Ventura when I was watching his new video. Ah, yes. Him and Southern California. My favorites. I need to sleep because Disneyland. Keep on Dreaming. 3-23-19 🌟 (we had a hockey game against Anaheim today and we won. Which would make every Ducks fan in the area upset to know that I’m a big Kings fan, especially since Anaheim is where we are right now. Huh.)

things I noticed today, mostly at Disneyland: a boy playing Pokémon on a mobile emulator. A super cool face character whom I’ve never seen before. Two people in total wearing Kings merchandise. A boy wearing a lacrosse shirt from a town freakishly close to where we live. A man playing Piano Man. On the... piano. How my face lit up on the first sight of the Disneyland Railroad. A mother angrily signing to her hard-of-hearing son. How much Inkwell Isle 2 from Cuphead fits into the area music for Main Street USA. A cute Asian couple parking next to us. How I immediately thought of Monty Python and Saving Mr. Banks when I saw the Mary Poppins parade float from a distance that I magically didn’t get sensory overload from. A couple of teenage boys touching everything you’re not supposed to. How much I love British comedy and classic rock. The accents and lingo, too. Plenty of people having caffeine at 9pm. The combination of watching his videos and being at Disneyland. The amount of groups of people wearing shirts accustomed to their vacation, like it’s a once-in-a-lifetime event. Like, why? Anyways, I had a conversation with a boy. Not that kind of boy. A little boy who came up to me with curiosity about my Gudetama backpack clip. His name was Gavin and he was 5 years old. He told me about his jokes and his face lit up upon seeing the train pull up. Ah, a child’s innocent view of the world. I’m drawing a blank and pretty exhausted. Keep on dreaming. 3-24-19 🌟
