Stayed here once with my family when we were in Orlando over spring break. My dad’s cousin met us there for dinner down on the bottom floor, which I have pretty vivid memories of. I was probably 12 or 13? His cousin T worked in production at Nickelodeon Studios at Universal and on that trip we sat in the audience of a taping of Slime Time Live where my sister and I got to pie my dad in the face (as a complete surprise to him)! He might’ve gotten slimed too hahahah my friend back home recorded the show and I still have the VHS somewhere. Really need to locate that.

I was just informed the other day that the Rosa Restaurant has closed! Hearing this news made me, as well as my dad, incredibly sad. For as long as my dad has lived in Portsmouth, he remembers going there with his father and the little Italian woman bringing him his food. He never did get the recipe for their sauce that he loved so much. I remember the bowls used for the salad were the exact same bowls we had at one point. I remember celebrating an art contest that I won there when I was younger. I remember walking across the street after a middle school dance at the Connie Bean with Sam Stellmach and her father, the manager, giving us some food to snack on. My dad and I were just talking about going back there, but now we’ll never get another chance. I’m so sad :(

Oh my goodness, I cannot believe Rosa’s is closed. I went here with my family ALL the time when I was little, the most memorable time being this one time when I was about 4 years old. After eating my spaghetti and meatballs (same thing I ordered every time), I was eating one of the standard round red & white peppermints that they give you with your check, and mine was just chilling in my mouth and I went to take a sip of my shirley temple, at the same time my mom gave me a horrified look because she knew exactly what was about to happen…as I swallowed my drink, I also swallowed my mint and it got lodged in my throat. I barely had time to grab my throat and before I knew it, my dad had stood up, grabbed me, and flipped me upside down, and whacked me on the back until that mint flew outta my throat…and I caught it in my hand. I literally remember this scenario like it was yesterday.

I did not eat those mints for a verrrry long time after that. But we continued going to Rosa’s and ordering their awesome pizzas to eat at my dad’s since they’re right across the street up until I moved! Gonna miss this place.

This is Flathead Lake in northwestern Montana, USA. The water is so transparent that it seems that this is a quite shallow lake. In fact, it is 370.7 feet deep.

My great aunt and uncle live on Flathead Lake! One time when I was visiting with my cousins when I was like 12, my cousin Andrew and I found 2 logs, put them in the water, sat on them, paddled our way across the lake which I think took something like 45 minutes, realized when we got to the other side that we the only place we could get out was on someone’s private dock (it was either that or spend another 45 minutes paddling all the way back on our logs), so we got out and rannnnn alllll the way back around the lake, through giant fields of tall, sharp grass and people’s yards and that still took a long time but it was a fun adventure and I still remember it vividly 12 years later.

Today is Kina’s birthday and I can’t be there with her and I am so sad. I’ve been with her for her last two birthdays and it’s been f’ing stupendous. Two years ago we were just becoming friends and we went out and drank scorpion bowls and she drank a 2-person one in 40 seconds and then went back to her apartment and barfed…and last year we went on a cruise out of Portsmouth and then went out downtown with so many friends and it was so fun and tonight she’s at the Brew and I can’t be there and I am deeply saddened about that, BUT I am also so thankful that we met (albeit was in an odd fashion that we did) and that even though we are across the country from each other for the time being, we are best friends forever.

Have the happiest birthday ever, sugamamiiiiiiiiiii* <3
