As we all know I am somewhat a master of amusing myself. I often laugh out loud (although NEVER lol) at some observation I've made or inside joke I have with myself. I am capable of spending hours and hours (and hours and hours) alone in my head without getting bored. Call it independance, cleverness, insanity..,. but it has gotten me through solo backpacking trips and many a dull day staring at the ceiling so I'll say it's a positive attribute.
I haven't quite gotten my footing friend-wise during my relocation in Florida (i.e. I spend all of my time with my mom or my cat) so of course this has come in handy.
Recently M and I took a tour of the local tourist attractions. I was given a pass for free entrance and we went to a wax museum. I remember begging and pleading my parents to take me to this same museum when I was younger and, this time, it looked like it hadn't been renovated since I had last attended..in 1990. There were many figures without nameplates identifying who they were intended to be, they were dusty with ramshackled hair, Brad Pitt looked identical to Angelina Jolie (only without the wig) and there was a big display dedicated to the film Face-Off (which came out around 1998 if I remember correctly) with John Travolta leaning forward as if he'd had too many drinks at the latest Scientology mixer. The collection they did manage to scrap together had many old timey characters (I can't imagine a child saying "Mommy, Mommy! Look! There's Robespierre!!") including nameless royalty and other historical characters that noone remembers. Anyway, there's the set-up, here are the pics:

Thank you for sharing these moments with me. Honestly this blog was made mostly to amuse myself and it worked.
