Daily Scooby-Doo! I LOVE SCOOBY DOO! I have a security towel (not a blanket), but it is a Scooby Doo towel. I must have it to sleep. We used to spend every summer in Hawaii with my grandmother (who FedEx me to Hawaii for high school). When I was in 2nd grade, my mother and grandma decided to send me to summer school in Hawaii. I was 7, and I DID NOT SPEAK ENGLISH AT ALL. It was a nightmare every day. I hated the lunch (cardboard plate/tray with soupy mixed veggies, BIG hamburger, and a cup of mixed fruits.). But every morning, Scooby was on Cartoon Network, and it made me laugh. If he was not there every morning, I wouldn’t be here… Anyways, since that day, I LOVE SCOOBY DOO, and when I am sad, I’ll watch Scooby Doo.

The reason why I came here was to get the Universal Mega Movie Parade! I was here for the debut day and kept coming back for a while because they never got all of the FULL FLOATS… and even if they got the full floats, some effects were not working or breaking down in the middle of the route. But since yesterday, they brought out the ECTO-1!! And they did run today too! I was so relieved. I was literally running non-stop from 8 a.m. till 3 p.m. today… and now I am writing this.

I hope everybody had a safe Halloween! Have a magical day, and see you real soon!
