"Our!" "Trip!" 2 "Geneva!"

Yesterday, no wait, like the day before or something like that, I went on a little trip thingy to explore Geneva with Erez and Oren. I rode my bike with my dad to their apartment earlier-ish in the mornin' (like around 9:30) and then after watching a small fraction of a Simpsons episode and busting my guts out from laughing, we rode a bus down to the big city. I had my backpack with a swimsuit, towel, goggles, sunscreen and a bottle of water. When we got there we just walked around. Well, that's pretty much what we did all day. We went in a Swatch store, which I hadn't been in about 3 years. It was great. And then we'd stare at pocket knives and watches in the store windows, drooling. And then every few seconds Oren would go, "Woah, Amelia-look how big that one is!!" and I'd just say, "Yeah. Wow. That one is like a few inches thick." Which some of them were. We went in the co-op (mall-ish place) and went to the pen section. They had some awesome fountain pens. After more walking around, we also went down to this awesome toy store. Yes, I did say toy store. And yes, I am 13. What can I say? Asterix and Obelix-shaped pieces of plastic just never get old to me. It was called Franz Carl Webber or something. While we were walking towards the store, we saw these two people posing as statues, making an occasional head movement. It was kind of freaky. The store had like 3 levels, the first with these stuffed animals attached to balloons that bark or whatever when you touch the balloon or something. And then they would sort of like...move in a way that looked as if they were either suffering from extreme back pain and had broken their spines, or were doing some weird walk. You'd hear the barking the whole time you were in the store pretty much. It got really annoying. They also had Asterix and Obelix figures, along with some Garfield, Smurf, knight-'n-horses and other stuff. Man, but those little figurines were expensive. It cost like 9 Swiss Francs (or 9 dollars) to buy one. Geez. And they were small too. But I still might buy one sometime. They're good momentos. So then we went to the 2nd floor. This almost caused me to like...spazz out. The first thing you see is just boxes and boxes of pink. Eugh. It was the Barbie floor. But luckily, if you turned around the corner, you could be spared the humility of almost passing out. There were video games. I saw a few NHL 08 games, with covers I hadn't seen in the U.S. It was cool. So then we went up to the final level, which literally made me go "Woah...." They had these awesome model cars. From too-small-for-Lego-sized, to Lego-sized, to bigger-than-Lego-sized. They had Lego-sized Smart cars, too. Awesomeness. And then they also had a whole shelf of playmobile, and several shelves of Legos. 'Course, it was the new stuff. Lego City, Bionicle, etc. etc. But it was cool. Legos and Playmobile are two things under my list of "Just Pure Genius". Yup. We had a good time widening our eyes and exclaiming several "woah!"s and "Dude!"s and whatnot. But then we left. We passed these two violin players on the sidewalk playing along to some classical music. We just kept walking around. Erez and Oren got panini's for lunch, but I wasn't hungry-I had a big breakfast. Then we decided to go back to the fountains across from the U.N. because it was a hot day. We rode the bus over there, but they were not on. We all wanted to get wet. Oh well. So we just sat there, complaining, and arguing about whether or not we should go to the pool. But I didn't feel like going to a pool. Pools are...for...poolers. I was not a pooler. Or from Georgia. So we just went back to the Levin's apartment. I was tired and just sat on the bed. I looked at their copy of Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment. That's like my favorite book. I highly recommend it. You can check out their blog if you want-it's cool. But I recommend reading the books first. It's at: maximumride.blogspot.com. So anyway. I read the critic's opinions and stuff. Then we watched a few Simpsons episodes and stuff. And I had to restrain Oren from getting on Erez's bed while he was reading. I was tired. Eventually my dad came to ride me home and I left. I felt like I had a fever. But we didn't have a thermometer so we'll never know fer sher. I ate a pitiful amount of dinner, but had some potatoes. But mostly I just laid on my bed, not really asleep, not really awake. I went to bed at around midnight.
