Vickicat's Journal
A daily journal about stuff.
June 19, 2005
Today we went to the beach for Father's Day. My grandparents were over there cleaning the condo so we went. I hate expressway tolls. They suck. Especially the toss the coin ones. Stupid me, I had a bunch of coins and I threw them all at the basket at once. They all went in but one which bounced off and landed on the ground. I was so pissed. I wondered if I should open the door and grab it but I was scared to. So of course the stupid red light didn't change so I drove through it anyway and the sound thing that goes off when you don't pay went off. Stupid. That car has been driving through tolls before on accident, though not by me. xd I just hope whoever collects the money finds the one on the ground and figures out what happened. Oh well. The condo is awful. Whoever rented it last painted everything awful colors. They weren't supposed to do that, my grandparents own it. The cabinets are bright red and the wall is this horrible dark yellow mustard color. My mom said it looked like a Mexican restaraunt. The people were from Texas. No offense to anyone in Texas, but Texas type colors are not good for a Florida beach condo. Oh it was awful and the people did not know how to paint. They'd done a horrible sloppy job and you could the the brush strokes going in all different directions. There was paint spilled on the floor and some on the ceiling and light fixtures, they hadn't even bothered to take them down. And plus after painting it they spilled stuff on the wall. My grandparents are furious. The whole place was just dirty and gross. And they'd somehow put candles over the back door and burned the ceiling and wax had dripped onto the rug below. How stupid, they could have caught something on fire. I can't believe people are that stupid. I think they were probably drunk. The beach was okay. I only went in the water a little bit since I was cold. Later my mom was talking to the people in the next condo, they had a cat and dog, they were so cute. My mom was telling them about the horrible paint and they invited us in to see their condo. It was so nice! So much better than how my grandparents have theirs, even before the paint. We came home and I got online. Kaz showed me some paintings he did in art class. I think they are really good. He doesn't think he's that good at art. I almost hate to praise him on anything since he always has such a big ego, and one thing he doesn't have an ego about is his artwork, so I don't want to get something started with that. But I really do like it. Rico made fun of one of them. I actually didn't like that one too much either. But most of them were really good. Maybe Rico making fun of him will keep him from ever bragging about it though. It makes me want to get pictures of paintings and stuff I've done so I can show them. I do have some drawings I did on one of my computers, but nothing on this one. If I ever get around to it I will post stuff I've drawn or painted in my journal.

That's pretty terrible how their condo got effed up. I mean, wow... surprised I love the part about the "Texas type colors." xd That's cute. And pretty true if you think about it.
I've seen some nice condos over the years (and some "not so nice" ones too). I don't think I'd ever want one though. I don't want to pay "house" money for an apartment sized place. Some of them are huge, but still, it's in an apartment-type setup. I'd rather buy a house.

About the toll thing..maybe it would have been "less" embarrassing to just get the coin rather than drive on setting off the "OMG, they didn't pay!!" alarm. xd

It's never a good idea to feed someone's ego. But trying to bring them down isn't the most mature thing in the world either. *shrug*
