Tonight was Brittany's sweet sixteen. Pool party, Bahama band, huge crowd, lots of hugs, and of course some "lesbian" dancing. Too bad you missed it!
Choir rehearsal was this morning. Little Joe was unhappy to be there, just like the good old days at church. Andrew took his mother to dinner for her birthday last night. They went to a dinner theatre and saw "Chorus Line" aka "Girls in Thongs." I could hardly help from laughing at the fact that a teenage boy actually took his MOTHER with him to see that kind of show. Other than that, choir rehearsal was fairly boring. My ex gave me an ominous wave from across the stage as he played with Jen Benson's (soon to be engaged to Dave) waiste-line. GROSS! At Brittany's party we discussed our sympathy for Dave, the nice guy who loves Jen so much that he puts up with her cheating on him.
Brittany Bledgy (I think that was her.) was at Brittany's party. I told her how my wonderful boyfriend brought Jon on our date, haha!
I picked my brother up from his day at the former Six Flags of Ohio with his middle school choir. I said an awkard hello to my ex's mother who had come to pick up her son. I will probably see her again tomorrow night at the choir concert. Their house is sold now, and tomorrow will probably be the last time I ever see that family. They were nice people. They really liked me, but I think their oldest son might be a druggie. How could I have ever dated that? We also discussed our wonderful boyfriend's at Brittany's party. I'm so lucky to have someone I can trust, and apparently many of us enjoy telling our boyfriends about our periods and other similar aspects of life that guys will never experience, hehe! The look on their faces is priceless!
My poetic side has come back for the summer! I just love to write. Someday I want to write a novel.
In a flash a year has passed us by,
The good, the bad, the ugly.
So much has changed in twelve short months,
But so much will always be the same.
Our grades, our coursework will be forgotten;
Only memories will remain.
The glow of the summer sun rises,
Sneaks it's warmth into our hearts.
Our winter frostbite melts away,
And our souls will sing a new song.
There's fun to be had, new pictures to take.
Won't you come along?
In life there are few things worth remembering.
Many things quickly fade away,
But those truly special moments will stay,
Forever engraved in our brains.
Friendship, love, and family...
That is life's true gain.
Some people take pictures, others have photographic memories, many like to paint, and there's always the guy who can't put his video camera down. As for me, I write. I write my feelings, my joys, my sorrows, my lessons learned, my achievements, my dilemas...No matter what the problem or simple worry may be, it helps to write it down. For those times when I don't have my trusty boyfriend to listen to me pour out my heart and soul...or when I've annoyed everyone so much that I'm at risk of losing all human contact if I think of another complaint, I write. Most people don't really "get it," but they can't see beyond the words. They can't see the symbolism, the bigger picture. Some may call me weird...well, a lot DO call me weird, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm well beyond my years. As a friend of mine once said, I'm not one of those "oh my gosh" girls. I may not be able to entertain myself for hours by staring at a hott country singer on TV, but I can understand just about anything, any situation, any emotion, any point of view, even if I don't agree. That is one of my many gifts. Hopefully it will continue to serve me well.
Only three more weeks of classes!!! YES! See you on the other side.
