(no subject)
i haven't had time to update on the past weekend, but i'll do it now. sunday, after a long arguement about how i can't focus around annoying relatives, and i can't focus when the room smells funny, and i can't focus when i'm secluded in the middle of nowhere, i was finally told that either i had to go to gainesville or i wouldn't be going to radiohead. of course, the concentrating part was about reading don quixote, which i am not enjoying very much. we got in the car, and the car ride there actually turned out to be ok. i listened to most of the cds that i never listened to and figured they were actually pretty good, and i looked out the window. i like doing that. we stopped at some restaurant called "holiday house" in deland, and i swear it was something out of a cheesy movie. they had a little buffet, and a cute little dessert tray. all along the walls were some of the funniest looking portraits i've ever seen. we cracked a few jokes about how we should line my dad's office with portraits of me, anna, koko, and benjamin, and how that would just send his patients running away haha. i figured out who painted the portraits when i went to the bathroom and there was a picture of some lady in the 50's water skiing with a tutu on, and it had her name under the portraits. when we got to gainesville, it was as i predicted, boring. until i started reading the book "perks of being a wallflower". for about 2 years i have completely forgotten about how much i love to read. the book was so interesting i couldn't put it down. even when i was supposed to read don quixote... whoops. i am now convinced that i am in love with the main character from the book, charlie. he's great. too bad he's in a book.. anyways, i saw my uncle bud, and his infamous jumpsuits, i saw my uncle gene and aunt glenda, and the bevy of cousins that i have no clue who's who. i mainly stayed in the car and read my book. i finished it the day after i started. my mom took me driving the night we got there, and i had tons of fun with that. i laughed pretty hard when we started driving down one of the dirt roads and she saw a truck with a bunch of teenage boys in it, she panicked and told me to let her drive for a while because she said "i don't know what these kids are like around here". oh no, noooo, the hick gang is going to rape me! i had to wait around all the next morning for them to get their things together so we could go home. it was a royal pain. i was pissy during those times, and i kept getting yelled at for not doing my physics homework while the family was out water skiing.
the positive sides of that trip: i read the perks of being a wallflower and it has inspired me to read alot more, i successfully kept my sun strike from the summer going and i am not burnt or tan at all (still sickly white, whoohooo), and umm i don't think i'll throw in a cheesy "family time taught me alot this weekend" thingy. (even though i did partially enjoy their company)
back tracking to saturday night i saw dirty pretty things, and once again, i love audrey tautou. it wasn't as great as i expected, but it was still nice to see her in another movie. starting this past weekend, i became addicted to adderal and whirlwind heat. it's nice. both make me disgustingly happy. this week i am going to starbucks with melissa, and we'll just have a grand time. also, i decided after reading "wallflower", i want to be more social. maybe some of my old friends will call me, or i'll call them. i'll call them. i think i need to start living my life like a normal teenager again. you know, have an "adventure" or two... or three. do something that i wouldn't normally do. yes. i will do that.
"There goes the fear again
Let it go"
