I’M IN INDIA!!! Today I have touched down in my country! After picking up my bags from the Himalayas, I decided to take a quick stop in India, to visit my Dada and Dadhi (grandparents). I finally feel at home now, but better. I still get the authentic and soul warming curry, but I don’t get the hassle and scolding’s from my parents. Right now I’m in New Delhi, about to go eat dinner. I can smell the wonderful, mouth-watering auras of pokoras and tika curry. Somebody pinch me.

Tomorrow I head back to Seattle, since apparently my parents are “missing me.” They’re probably missing the free and forced labor and service I give them. Anyways, at least I get to play some Haloz :). Unless my parents threw it away….

California was nice. The only bad thing is that I have California Gurls by Katey Perry stuck in my head. Don’t worry I wasn’t creeping on anyone…. *Cough cough*. Anyways, I have some bad/good news. I just found out that my bags have ended up in the Himalayas. I don’t know how this happened. I mean when I got off the plane and landed in California, I must have been too preoccupied watching “stuff” that I had forgotten my bags. Sad face. Oh well, guess I’m heading off to the Himalayas to get my bags. As you can guess, before I leave I always have to do my research.

The Himalayas are formed by a Collision Boundary. The mountain range was formed by the Indian Plate colliding head-on with the Eurasian Plate, hence the name Collision Boundary. Because of the equal density in the two plates, one cannot submerge under the other. Because of this head on collision, there are many earthquakes; however there is no volcanic activity. The areas around the Himalayas have been having small earthquakes here and there. According to some sources a major earthquake is due to hit the Himalayas soon. 2011-2012 don't seem to be very fortunate years....

WHERE'S. MY. XBOX.

It’s been two day since I’ve played on my xbox. Two days. If you didn’t get that already – Two. Whole. Days. Today is the last day of the double XP weekend on black ops, and I’m missing it. Today is also my annual clan meeting in World of Warcraft. In case you didn’t know what annual means, it means once a year. Once. I have to wait 365 days for the next annual meet. By then, my Legendary Dual Emerald Dragon Long Sword will be outdated and n00bish. People are supposed to be admiring my long swords today, not wondering where xXD00mSlayerXx (that’s me) is.

Anyways, on the bright side, I’m on my way to the Caribbean! Right now I’m in the airport, sipping a mocha and writing my blog. I decided I didn’t want to spend my time learning anything on the Caribbean since I spend so much time learning and studying as it is. Don’t get me wrong - I love learning, but I need to learn how to relax ;). So to free up my time in the sun, I asked around the airport and luckily, I stumbled upon a science team traveling to the International Science is Fun (ISF) competition. They answered ALL my questions perfectly.

So the first thing about the Caribbean Volcanic Arc is that it’s located where the eastern margin of the Caribbean plate and the South American plate make contact. The South American plate subducts under the Caribbean plate. This subduction forms the volcanic islands of the Lesser Antilles Volcanic Arc, which stretches from the Virgin Islands off to the coast of Venezuela. This boundary contains seven active volcanoes!

I leave in about one and a half hours. Hopefully this time I don’t have to sit next to someone who smells like a wet goat (like I had to last time). Anyways, I’m so psyched for this trip! Almost makes me more happy than getting a new prestige from a high-roller wager match in black ops :)
