i woke to a loud crash of thunder. it was three thirty in the morning. my dog, curled up on the foot of my bed, lifted her head to my door. the room was lit by a flash of lightning. i see a silouhette standing in my room. i shrink under my covers. its early, and im still in a dream like state. another surge of light. there is a man in my room. i open my mouth to scream. but its only my dad haha. checking for water leakage i guess. gave me quite the fright though...things with the old man have been kind of rought lately. i love him to death, and i respect him. he is my dad, but i think old man crotchety stole his body about a week ago. i dont want to make him look bad, so i wont go into details, but lets just say that lately, i await the sound of my moms tires rolling into the driveway like the child awaiting the postman on her birthday. ok, i feel a little melodramatic now lol. kyle, my mom, and i played monopoly last night. she killed us both. i lost, but i was the banker and i think i kept putting my money away in the bank. or at least that what kyle and my mom say, so ill be happy to adopt that as my excuse. im getting really ready for school to start. i had a dream about it last night, and it was awesome! our school wasnt our school but a twisty, turny, castle, with neat classrooms, and the people were awesome! well except for a boy in my fourth hour...he was hitting on me in very impolite ways. one reason i love dreams, is that you can do anything, so i was firing back these awesome comebacks to whatever he would say to me, until i up and left the classroom and told the teacher i would gladly come back to class once he was gone. it made me feel BIG! lol i think my macaroni is boiling over. id better go check. have a great day!
