But hey, I love her and that's what counts, right? Right. Yep, we've known each other for...how long now?...Hello?...Kelli?...Oh yeah, she's not online right now. Silly me. Anyway, we've known each other for quite a while. For more details, read my previous diary. Don't be shy. Go ahead and read it. Yes, you can do it now. This will still be here when you are done. There's a good reader. Here, I'll put a gold star right where you left off so you can continue from there when you're done reading. STAR... Done reading now? Good job. I'm sure you enjoyed the part where I visited my Kelli. I know I did. Speaking of which, that wasn't the only time I visited her. In fact, I just paid her a visit just about... 2-3 weeks ago. It was wonderful, but why wouldn't it be?Basically, I had to save up for a plane ticket. It didn't take long with my high-paying job. The round-trip ticket was $471, though! That's not cheap. It would have been cheaper if I had bought it sooner, but I didn't know if I'd have enough money sooner, so I guess that's life. Anyway, it would have been more, in the $700 range if I took the convenient way. If I started in the city close to me and ended in the city close to her, that's how much it would be. I had to drive for 2 hours to a larger city and take a plane from there to an airport that was 2 hours away from her to get the airfare at the price I did. Everything was fine until I arrived. Basically I was planning on taking a city bus from the airport to the airport that was a lot closer to her and then have her dad drive me from there. That didn't work out as well as I had hoped. For starters, I arrived at my destination a little after 10pm and my luggage didn't like my plane, so it had to be picky and choose the next plane. After many days of waiting for it to arrive (okay, an hour or so) I went with this lady into the back room and we hatched plans to put banana peels all over the floor of airports everywhere so everyone at all airports would slip on them and airports would get a reputation for having banana peels and for people slipping on them, and we'd make an airline of our own called Banana Peel Airlines and everyone would ride on our planes since when someone thought of airport, they thought of banana peels, and we'd also have a division that provided medical aid to those who slipped and got hurt. Actually, I just described my bag to her and she told me that it was on the next flight and it wouldn't get there until 1am. She said she could mail it to me, so I went with that idea. I remembered I had to catch the city bus and since it took so long to find out that my luggage was on the next flight, I was afraid I would miss the last buses. I asked her where the buses were and she pointed me to a sign with a bus on it. I went there and some dude with a taxi asked me if I wanted a ride. I said I couldn't afford it and asked where the buses were. He pointed to another exit. I went there and found a bus and asked if it went to the other airport. They didn't and didn't know of any that did. I mentioned it was the metro and they were like, "Oh, yeah, the metro might. I don't know where they are, though." I went inside and asked some guy who worked there where the bus that went to the other airport was. There were hardly any people in the airport since it was so late. He didn't know of a bus that went to the other airport. I said it was the metro bus and he said, "Oh... their bus stop is in Terminal C, but I don't know if they run this late." I thanked him and found a sign pointing to Terminal C. I followed all the signs that pointed to it and ended up where I started. I went and asked a guy where Terminal C was, and he said you had to take the train thing there and it comes by every 3 minutes. I found it and waited for it to come. I was currently in Terminal A. It had to go to B, then something else, then C, and it took a while to get to each one. Then I got off and went outside and saw buses and asked if they went to the other airport. They said they didn't and didn't know of any that did. I mentioned again that the metro one did, and the person said the metro bus stop was right over there and she pointed behind me. It was then that I realized I didn't have any cash on me and I doubted that the bus would take a credit card. I asked where an ATM was and she said there was one inside, so I ran inside and used the ATM and it tells me that I've taken out the max amount allowable in a day (because I needed to get out a bunch for my parents' rent). I went back out to see if the bus was coming yet and just then the bus came by and I ran over to it and told the guy that I needed to go to the other airport, but I needed to run to the ATM first to get money out. He said that this was the last bus that came by until tomorrow and it doesn't go to the other airport, but he could take me to the station and there might possibly be a bus there that still took a trip. He said he wasn't going to the station yet and he had to circle the whole airport first and come back here, which would take 15 minutes. I said I'd run and get cash while he did that. I went back inside and used my other card. Luckily it worked and I got $10 out. I went back and waited for him to come back. He finally did and said they don't take $10 bills (wonderful) but he'd just give me a ride for free. I thanked him and after driving for a while, he asked me where I needed to go again. I said as close to the other airport as he can take me. He said he could take me within 3 miles of it, even though he wasn't supposed to, but that's it. I said I needed to go to Santa Fe and he said that if I had told him that in the first place, he could have dropped me off a lot closer, but he was on the wrong road now. So I was outside a mall and I called Kelli and she didn't know where it was, but she and her dad found it easily, and I told them about my misfortunes in the car. It was nice seeing her again, but it seemed kinda... normal.

Anyway, that was the first night. I won't be as descriptive about all the other days. Basically I spent a week there living with her family. Her little brother really liked hanging around me and kept trying to have more of my attention than Kelli. We made a deal with him that if we played a game with him, he'd have to leave us alone for 2 hours. He didn't like it, but agreed, though he kept coming back and bugging us, and Kelli kept restarting the timer, lol. He wanted me to play Mario Kart and Mario Party and Super Smash Bros. often.

Kelli liked tickling me a lot. I can't say that I didn't like it, because I did. She has this terrible thing where she can make it so that she's not ticklish, and all my attempts are just like waves against the rocks, but she can always tickle me! It's not fair. At least I'm stronger. She liked tickling me a lot, the meanie. Anyway, I got to play with her cousins and younger brother's friends. Kelli's aunt and uncle don't like me, really, but I didn't want to jump on the trampoline with them, just their kids. I showed them how to play the fall-down game on the trampoline, which I made up. As expected, since it's the same with anyone who plays, they all loved it, and most of them got hurt to some degree. Even Kelli played it. During part of it where we were down, I got under her and tickled her crazy. Heh, I got her good that time. We played 4-square with them, too. Kelli showed me some of her anime, and I showed her the Dragon Ball tapes that I brought. Japanese with fansubs all the way! I brought my AMVs to show her. We rented "Benny and Joon" because it's an awesome movie with Johnny Depp. Needless to say, Kelli loved it. I was sitting on a little stool in front of her and she was on the couch giving me a back massage since I had given her plenty. That was nice. Her younger brother fell asleep on the futon where I was supposed to sleep more than once, so I had to sleep in his bed. We had to take their thousands of Pepsi One cans to the recyclers since they are a crazy family who drinks insane amounts of Pepsi One. The cans were all in these torn-up grocery bags and we had to re-bag many of them. At some point Kelli wasn't listening to my idea and I was upset and would be quiet to her and she could tell something was wrong. Then I made her mad because of something I did while mad, and then we talked about it and it was all better. It was around 200 pounds of cans, crazy people. Overall, I loved every second of being around her, and I could tell she liked being around me, more than she did last time I visited. We're definitely closer and know each other a lot better than back then. There wasn't any shyness or discomfort. I loved it when she and I would look at each other and squint our eyes. I'd stick my tongue at her and she'd stick her tongue out and touch her nose, the brat. She's really very attractive, and I think part of it is because of what I feel for her. We went to the zoo because her parents love zoos. Kelli and I kept finding benches and sitting on them, lol. At one point we were going to watch the sealion show. After the show, we waited for her parents to meet us there. They took an hour to do so. I sat there rubbing her back with my nails while she laid against her younger brother and both of them fell asleep. I saw previews for the movie "Secret Window" with Johnny Depp, and Kelli and I immediately made plans to go see it one of the days I was there. We did just that. The ATM there gave me trouble, too, and the stupid pizza people didn't take credit cards, so my poor Kelli had to go without her weird spinach pizza, though I got my yummy pepperoni. Don't worry, she said she wasn't really hungry, anyway, otherwise I would have given her at least half of my pizza. I ordered pizza for her family. It was Domino's. That's the first time I had their pizza. We went to China Border, because it's their favorite restaurant, and they can't let someone visit without taking them there. I don't blame them. It's good stuff! The last night I was there, she showed me a bunch of pictures of people in her senior book. She also showed me her necklaces people gave her. Then we just had a really nice time just being with each other, not saying much of anything. I really didn't want to leave the next day and she didn't want me to, either, so we just spent as much time as we could just basking in the safety of each other's company. She was going to take a shower and I said it would be a good idea if she did it now and got it over with so she wouldn't fall asleep before she did it. She did and I waited for her, then fell asleep after she went back in her room.

The next day was busy with me getting ready to leave, but I still made sure I had enough time to enjoy being with my Kelli. She held my hand during the car ride to the airport and even kissed me on the cheek when I left! Isn't she sweet? Well, I had kissed her on the cheek before, also. I had my cool Squall jacket on. Then I got on the bus, which took me to the other airport, then got on my plane and left.

So here I am, back at home. It was a really rough first week away from her, but I'm all better now and we talk all the time and are even closer than we were during the week together! I really am grateful to have someone like her in my life and I never ever want to lose her. I see good times ahead. ^_^
