They recommend that you wear a jacket when climbing Mt. McKinley...
I love and hate summer. I love it because I can sleep in and spend my day (and night- yay for 2 AM) any way I want to. I hate it because I'm stuck in this house with my sister, unable to drive anywhere myself. She's been bitching at me all morning, most likely because I came in 45 minutes after curfew last night, and I also just told her that I have to go to the doctor before school starts. We have a hellish copay on this stuff, but I don't see why she's so upset... SHE doesn't have to get the freakin' physical and try to explain my fear of needles/egg allergy to the immunizers (or whatever they call 'em). Ugh, doctors suck. I value my personal space. I wonder if I just start running around in circles and screaming if they'll give me a clean bill of health to get me out of there, or just have me committed. hmmm. She'll be starting a new job next week... so, blissful sleep until noon and no griping at me!
I'm really sore. Climbing mountains is a horrible joke. Karissa, Mrs. Terry, and I went up to North Carolina to go hiking yesterday morning, but we got insanely lost and just ended up making Deliverance jokes for two hours until we found a place to hike. We finally found Craggy Mountain park, hiked up the mountain, and hiked down the other side thinking we'd end up in the same place, ya know, like a roundabout. UHM, NO. We somehow ended up like 7 miles from where we started (road time). So, we had to hike back UP the mountain and go down the side we came up. It was beautiful at the peak though. You could see for miles and miles, and the trees thinned out to this beautiful silvery-green grass that swayed in the wind. There were also these trees that were very twisty and VanGogh-esque (bald rhododendron, maybe?). Karissa ate a dandelion and constantly confused Mt. Mitchell with Mt. McKinley. It was really nice, because we talked about college and how i'm gonna need therapy FOR art therapy and about all that's been going on for the past 3 weeks. Karissa's a neutral party, and I like that.
Then, I came home and got dressed to go over to Adam's (WHERE ELSE? I'm gonna tell Mr. Wood to claim me on his taxes, lol). He played video games for a while, then practically passed out. We slept for like 4 hours until Erica and Josh came home from dropping the OTHER Josh off. I was late for curfew again, second night in a row (and it's ALL my fault. okay, well... 85%), and Shannon said it CANNOT happen again. AGH. I'm gonna have to start wearing my watch.
So, today I'm just cleaning my room and finishing these freakin' plagues called thank you notes (i stress too much), because Adam works from 3-11 tonite. But we're going out (like, really! putt putt and a movie or something!) soon, so that should be nice. Well, I'm off to avoid my sister and try to clean up this mess that's accumulated since band season... but I have the sudden urge to watch Eternal Sunshine and eat a potato. Yep, that's probably what I'll do.
