(no subject)
I came home tonight and found some old art work I made when I was in elementary school, that was on my bed. I looked at them and the one I found to be most interesting was a drawing I made in marker when I was 5 1/2 years old. I drew a picture of a lady with blonde short wavy hair, not sure who that is supposed to be and another girl with brown hair. And on the page I wrote "Lexy Mommy Sophie" but it was backwards. So I figured i must have written that backwards because I am left handed.
Its 2 am and I am wide awake although I should be sleeping right now since I work tommorow. But this is what happens when I sleep off and on until 5 pm. I saw a weird movie tonight and then made it to my mothers place by midnight. I went in through the back, figuring Aunt Carol Matt and Molly would be inside but they werent. A few minutes later they all came inside and it was really good to see them again. Aunt Carol looks the same, Molly has pretty highlights in her hair, and Matt has his hair short now, it looks good. They gave me, my mom and my sister a Red Sox shirt from when they won the world series. Carol said the red sox players wore this shirt when they won and they had champainge poured on them. Its a cool shirt though. I think I will plan to wear it whenever I hang out with Rachel as a joke to make her mad since she loves the Yankees.
I stayed until 1:30 am listening to Aunt Carol and my mom tell these stories about their childhood when they lived in Germany.
Aunt Carol is a few years older than my mother, and at the time my mom was just a little girl and they both had alot of freedom in Germany since I guess Nan wasnt around much. (Nan is their mother) They said they would always wander around the town since they didnt have school or anything. One time they went to this zoo, and the keeper was showing my mom and carol a trick where he would put his head in a lions mouth. And Carol said she has this feeling come over her and she just had to do it. Mean while my mother was freaking out saying not to do it, but the keeper opened up the lions mouth and Carol put her head inside. My mother was the only witness to that.
Another zoo story was when mom, carol, and Nan were there and they passed by a cage full of lions. And this one lion had its back facing the cage so its tail was sticking out between the bars. I dont know why, but Nan had this bright idea to pull on the lions tail. She yanks on it, and the lion turns half way around, lifts up its leg, and urinates all over her! At this moment, Nan freaks out and loses her balance, and falls into a baby carriage. Luckly the baby wasnt in the carriage, but if it was, that baby would of been dead, says Aunt Carol. They said everyone was laughing hyterical.
Mom said that when they were in Germany, she would always go down to thte resturant and eat and drink whenever she pleased, and she would always have them sent the tab to Room 112. Also they had lived next to these farmers that had no education. One of the farmers gave my mom a bunny as a present or something, and she said that one day she couldnt find her bunny and she asked Mrs Frogonald or something in her broken German where it was and she said that she ate it. I thought that was horrible!
Carol also mentioned my mothers sleep walking stories when she was really young. How she would walk outside with a pillow case full of silverware.
There are more stories but I cant remember them all. But anyway they were all fun to listen to, and it goes to show how odd and weird my moms side of the family are. Everyone loves my moms puppy, except for me though because I think its really hyper and annoying. But they also love sky and ollie, and so do I. My mother suggested that I should take Matt and Molly out somewhere fun while they are here. I know the only place really fun would be Miami or Ft Lauderdale, but I just dont know who I would go with and if it would even be that fun since Im never really down there, and even not really into that. Tommorow I work all day, then go to my mothers house for a huge dinner she is making for everyone. I cant wait! And Im bringing my camera to take pictures and my portfolio because Carol wants to take a look at it, and says we have alot of catching up to do. I stopped emailing her, and she was the one who was helping me with art schools. I just got really comfortable here, so I dont know what Im gonna do. I figure just apply and see what happens.
I went to Barnes and Nobles today and met my mom there. She left right after, and I bought two journals, one with hand made paper and the other Im gonna use to keep track of my days and stuff. Everyone in that store seemed to be really nice which was cool. When I went to go check out, two guys were open to ring me up and they both seemed to be like Come to my spot, and it was funny because they were confusing each other. And then as I go to leave a guy opens the door with his friends and he holds it for me and was like "after to you my lady, have a nice day" I couldnt believe my ears, people in this town were being nice. If only it could be like this all the time!
Ive decided to write about my emotional stuff, guy issues and love stuff in my new journal along with add pictures to that, rather than use this internet one. Love and my feelings are too personal for here, so thats a better place. I always need soemthing to vent out too, plus I feel all creative lately.
Goodnight
Love Lexy
