So, summer has been rather eventful for me so far. Here are some things that have happened.
Played sidewalk chalk with erika and allie. we made an excellent beach/island/volcano picture that was fantastic, but her dad washed the car about an hour later, and well, it was not spared.
Went on a midnight bikeride with john, and talked about a looooot of things, i may tell you what if you're cool enough. haha. wow. um when we returned to the car, the windows were completely smashed in and destroyed, luckily insurance coverable. but wow, how messed up does someone have to be to do something like that. We think we met them earlier on in the night too, with studded jackets and a baseball bat. the bat kinda gave them away....
then i was grounded, then i wasnt. In between time has been working and chilling with friends, playing pick-up-sticks and scrabble. sleeping in. writing.
these past few days have been something crazy. so the night before the fourth, john, kelly, and i went bowling. (pictures to follow) my curfew (from my previous grounding) was 1:30. so we finished by then and got to john's house (he's my neighbor) and i called my mom so i could hang out with them longer and spend the night. My mom denied me, even though she lets me hang out with my st. b's friends forever, even though, let's face it, i'm more likely to get into trouble around them. My mom has this whole issue with me being younger than a lot of my friends but i just can't see why she doesn't trust me. I've had exact situations where i called at 1 or 2 in the morning to ask if i could spend the night at russells or taylors and she ALWAYS OKS that. so i figured, hey im nextdoor, you're being unreasonable. I spent the night anyway and when i got home the next morning, i was greeted with a "you're grounded, and for real this time." so me, thinking i was not about to change my plans for the fourth pretended like i was ok with that. I pretty much don't do much during the year, so my summer is important to me. I hated that they wanted to take away possibly 3, 4 weeks away for some ridiculous reason like i spent the night at the neighbor's. They also took my cellphone away...don't know when i'll be seeing that again. so if you have my home phone, yeah, that'd be the one to call. Like i said, i didn't want to change my plans so i basically went out my backdoor and left at 10:45 in the morning to go to lake goodwin with john and kelly. i figured, since they took my cellphone away, what better way to say "jokes on you" than to take off without them being able to find me. I know they wouldn't let me go if i'd asked, despite what they say now. I had a really really good time with kelly and john. When i got back, my mom was really upset and i basically said, i wanted to follow through with my plans, and i knew you wouldn't let that happen if i'd have asked. I know i need to work on respecting my parents and their rules, but when they seem so....well...parent-y and unreasonable, i sometimes can't see where their logic is. Summer is all about freedom and they keep trying to take more of it away by limiting the time i spend with certain people, and that's not ok. I can obviously see that when i hang out with some of my friends, their approval of me spending more time with them is lacking and i hate that they discriminate like that. well, that's my rant.
later that night they let me go to gasworks with john to see the show. it was amazing.
oh bowling and all the disappointment. note the lone pin at the end of the lane, not being knocked down.
