Since my last blog, summer has been pretty good! The weather has FINALLY let up and although it's been hot, the sunshine has been a definite improvement since that nonstop rain. I've been watching a little TV and reading Harry Potter. I'm on the third book right now and I'm trying to finish the whole series this summer and still get my English assignment done.
As for my tattoo, I've now debating between two designs for my arm: a butterfly and a fairy. I don't which to choose because one of them might take longer and require me to come back later for more filling. I'm not sure which to choose...if you'd like to see them and give your input, I have the links right here:

Who else is looking forward to new TV episodes this summer? The SpongeBob ones sound great and I can't wait for the celebration bash! The FOP ones don't sound great at all, but I might tune in anyway for something to do. I watch Jon and Kate Plus 8 and I thought that would be a great show I could tune in to no matter what, because unlike other shows it doesn't have writers to mess it up and deteriorate show quality. But then, I found out that Jon and Kate are splitting up! Oh no....those poor little kids will have divorced parents and their show won't be the same! I certainly hope they try to sort things out, I mean, they have 8 kids!
On a happier note, this seems like a great summer for movies! I really want to see My Sister's Keeper. I have the book at home and if the movie follows it well, it will be great. The plot is unique and it has a great cast with Cameron Diaz and Abigail Breslin! I want to see it in theaters sometime soon. Maybe it will be at an outdoor theater with Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. They both look like great films and it would be fun to see them outdoors. I personally like outdoor theaters better because you get to sit or lay under the stars, take your own food and you can make more noise, as opposed to having sit in a tiny chair, buy expensive food, and make no noise at all at indoor theaters.
Last night, I went to this Pasta and Pops All-You-Can-Eat Spaghetti Dinner and I helped out with the event. It was for the band, and even though I'mnot in it anymore I still went with my parents to help. My former Color Guard captain was there as a food server, and she kept staring at me...for what reason I don't know. I made sure I didn't look at her, and my mother gave her a menacing look and she looked upset!
After she took one plate of food somewhere, she didn't come back for anymore and stayed near the drinks and desserts...it was really funny how she let one dirty look that she deserved actually get to her and make her decide to stay away! The real kicker is, she and another girl in my grade were there, and when they finished eating the friend brought her tray of junk to the trash can where I was standing with my mother and Grandma (the captain stayed away, she wouldn't even look at us.) This other girl said they were too little and skinny to eat all their food, then wanted someone else to throw their trash away because she would feel bad if she dropped something, and of course my grandmother and I did it instead of telling her off.
But my mother, she is very outspoken and she said "Well, little and skinny girls can throw their own trash away!" I think the girl tried to laugh but it didn't take them long to get out of there after that, and I thought it funny that they were actually afraid of that! They act so proper and dainty, then disrepect adults and get it right back. Honestly, it is because of behavior like that that has caused me to drift away from other girls at my school, the ones in my grade are just to snobby and prissy for me.
Well, that's all that has happened since my last blog...except for Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett dieing! Farrah was expected but not Michael Jackson..may they both rest in peace. How has everyone else's summer been?
Is it just me, or is this weather downright depressing? It finally stopped raining a few days ago and started again today! We didn't anticipate summer for 9 months for it to be rainy! Joe Snedeker on Newswatch 16 is now dubbing it "the year without a summer." I have no choice but to agree.
As for my summer plans, I don't have much going on. I don't really go on vacation because it costs a lot of money and there aren't any money trees growing in my backyard. I'm only looking forward to two things, one of which is in July...the SpongeBob SpongeBash Celebration! (Did I get that name wrong? Sorry if I did!) It sounds like there will be a lot of good episodes, and I hope they're all better than the last batch of new eppies we got. For a 10th anniversary celebration, this should be one of the best batches of episodes yet!
The other thing I have planned is taking place at the end of the summer, when I turn 18! I'm really looking forward to becoming a legal adult for obvious reasons, but the main thing I'm excited about is getting a tattoo! Since I can sign for it myself, I'm allowed to get one as a birthday present. I don't know what I'm going to get yet, but I've heard it doesn't hurt much, so hopefully it won't be too bad.
In my previous blog, a couple of people asked me why I had to tell my best friend we can't be friends anymore, and I never got around to clarifying that. Well, we WERE best friends, but sometime this year she got acquainted to a new crowd of friends (mainly my COLOR GUARD CAPTAIN!) and suddenly I was only good enough when they weren't around. We have 8 periods a day in school, and we had periods 3-7 together. Yet one day in a math course, she said "We should try to hang out more, we don't see each other much in school." My reply was "Uh...We have over half our subjects together!" It was then that I figured our friendship wasn't worth it. I never got around to officially ending our friendship but I won't bother with her anymore. That's at least the fifth person I've stopped being freinds with since sophomore year!
Are there any high school seniors out there? I was wondering if anyone else on this site has taken those awful SAT's! They were really hard, and of course I chose to skip over the questions I didn't know....so I skipped around half of every math section. I really hope I got at least a 1500, because I'm not retaking them!
This site has become a lot less active lately...the total opposite of how it was expected to be since summer. It may just be the forums I visit, but there's only cynical things to say about television anymore and it feels like I'm wasting my time here. I'm not planning on leaving anytime soon, but I wish that the world of television would improve already! If this weird cycle of shows continues televisions may as well become a piece of the past!
So overall, summer has been Ok, I guess. During the day I sometimes go running around with family, but the late afternoon is pretty boring. I just read, watch TV and use the computer, of course. I hope everyone else is enjoying their summer! How has vacation been for everyone else? Let's hope the weather lets up!
Due to my limited time, I'm making this a short blog....
SUMMER VACATION IS HERE!
Yep, today is my last day of school! Next year I get to come back as a SENIOR! The only downside to the day? I have to tell one of my best friends since elementary school that we can't be friends anymore.
But, I"ll have to get over it since I'm going to hang out with two other friends afterwards! When do the rest of you get out of school? I hope everyone has an AWESOME SUMMER!
