LA Riots

That's right it is Holiday O'clock!
Flight time: 24 hours. Arrival time into LA: 6am. Hours to stay awake before being able to sleep or jet lag will ensue: 15. Blood shot eyes: Two. Feeling like crap: Not priceless.
Use time wisely by making many schedules and lists, for impending stay, and drive Mother and Brother crazy with need for military precision for every days events. I love a tight schedule and without one get very stressed. Yes, realise this is a holiday but I don't care and am proud of anal retentiveness (someone out there will love me for it. Won't they?)
Mother, Brother and I make it until 4pm and finally get to bed. Plan is to wake at 7am and head off to Disneyland. No sooner than bloodshot eyes are shut and Brother is saying "Morning!" Look at clock and realise it is 7am already. Know there is no possible way I have been asleep for 15 hours. I alert Brother that in fact it is 7pm! Great start to holiday.
Disneyland next day turned out exactly as I had planned. Not surprisingly as had map planned and timed right down to when we would be thirsty. Am feeling fabulous with stress free day due to perfect planning and map memorising. Mother and Brother seemed stressed by fact that toilet breaks were not at times they would have liked but I did brief them over breakfast so totally their own fault for lack of discipline.
Only glitch was getting photo with favourite Disney Princess (Snow White). Princesses no longer roam streets of Disneyland and instead have own photo area. Line up time: 2.5 hours. Snow White picture is on schedule so must be taken. Finally make it to Princess area and realise that there are only three Princesses inside and there is no Snow White. Line up again (after taking sneak peak and seeing Snow White inside. Yay!) Only line takes so long that when we get through it is the same bloody Princesses as before!
Four hours later and finally get to meet Snow White. Totally worth it. She is so pretty. Ask her if she knows a Prince I once dated called Booger Brains. She hasn't. I tell her she is lucky there are no such things as bike riding where she comes from as maybe it wouldn't have worked out with her and Prince Charming. Ask her if Prince Charming has any cute friends that she can hook me up with.
Suddenly am being escorted from Princess area and yell at Snow White that I will try and come back to finish our chat. Line up again but am told that Snow White is finished for the day. I am followed by security for rest of the day.
Get home and am excited for Snow White photo. Realise Brother must be still asleep as both of our heads are cut off.
No problem. We have a three day pass...
