Funny Stuff, actually...

Haven't even started to get ready to go, and my day is getting pretty hilarious.

I drove over to Amy's to get my swimsuit and to return Kate's pants (and to get some to replace them), and guess what?
I set off the house alarm.

I went in through the garage since I had the combination, but apparently the alarm system was on and there are motion detectors in the garage, sooooo...
At least we know it works now.

Kate woke up and let me in, of course, and we all lived happily ever after.

And just after this incident I remembered a part of my dream, which added in to the whole thing because it was pretty ridiculous. Ben Afflek and Dulé Hill (Gus from Psych) were in it. Ben Affleck (who wasn't Ben Afflek, by the way) was this guy who had a crush on me and I had a crush onhim but we were both to awkward to make the first real move. Something happens, I'm at school (except it's my house?) and I see the-guy-who-isn't-Ben-Affleck's car pull up and start honking so I'm like, Yay! Then I go to the door and start to scold him for coming during shcool hours, and it's actually Gus and some Asian guy, and they're both mortally wounded and I'm like, "Call 911! Somebody, call 911!"

Then I got woken up by the sounds of my father cleaning across the hall.

Sun Sun Sun

So, had fun at Zoombezi Bay yesterday (and that's how you actually spell it).
Amy didn't go because she had in cars, but Britt (one of Amy's cousins) was there & she's around my age, and Kate & Danny were there as well so I wasn't stranded or anything like that.
I GOT A TAN!
Pretty geeked about it. I was outside from like, 10 am to 6 pm and you can just barely tell... I suck at getting tan, I guess.

Anyway, as I was saying...
The night before Zoombezi I stayed the night at Amy's so we could get ready in the morning. Except instead of going to bed at a decent hour and waking up refreshed, we played spades until like, 12:30. My team won :D
The point is that I went to bed around 1, woke up at 8, ran around all day, went to bed at 11, and THEN I woke up around THE UNGODLY HOUR OF SIX IN THE MORNING because my dad is a weirdo. He was chilling in Allison's room cleaning. I was like, "Shut up. I'm sleeping," and guess what? They start vacuuming.
Obviously, I'm loved.

Anywho.

They're cleaning because Aunt Missy (Dad's sister) and her brood (Parker aka "Pudge" and Gabrielle) are coming over, as well as Gabriel (cute kid), and we're all going to...-hold your breathe-... ZOOMBEZI BAY!
I know, right?
So we're going to the Zoo the first half of the day, and then Zoombezi bay when it gets warmer out.

Only half looking forward to it, since I'm all worn out.
If I was a battery, I might be very nearly dead.


In other news.
Got a cute hand-me-down outfit from Sieanna.
I don't know why she buys pants that are so tall. I mean, she's five feet tall. Really, Sieanna? Long? As long as I get them~♥

_{Do you have tickets to the gun show?}

PS (I love these things)

Love the new header?

I do :D

Get it? "Strange Bird" is supposed to be the title for my blog, aaaaaaand...

It's a cat!

Anyone?

No?

...?

WHATEVER BAY!

Be it Zoomeezi or Zamboozle or Zimbabwe, whatever! I'm going to the water park formerly known as Wyandot lake tomorrow!

Yeah, I'm pretty geeked.

Amy's family is going, and I was invited _{because I'm awesome.}


SO.

Um, other than that...

Nothing much.

Planning on going to Easton with Kylie, and on the 4th I'm going to the Toby Mac concert at the Ohio State Fair and meeting O'Rourke there. Geeked about that, too.

My room is still mostly clean.

We're making headway on the school thing.

Aahhh...

Yeah.

That's about it.

:D

Better

Amy helped me clean my room. Which is a big thing. It took like, four hours, and that's shaving off break time and all that jazz. If it wasn't for her, I never would get anything done.

And I got Meg's halfway birthday present. Totally made my day.



I also discovered that I love things with ribbons around the waist. Makes me look less plump, more shapely.


Gabriel visited last night. He is probably the most adorable child I have ever met. He's my older sister's godson, and his mother is a family friend. He calls my mom, "Nanna Anna." We had fun :D




(In case you haven't noticed, I've discovered that I really like adding pictures to my posts now.)

In other news... Amy's older sister and her husband are visiting from Texas, so I'm kinda back in my house. Kathy kept talking about how she's going to talk to Tim so that he knows that I'm still there, but she hasn't even told him that I'm living there yet, soooo... Yeah.

Post Script

Plus, things get a bit freaky when you see someone as often in your dreams as you do in real life.

Which is true in my case.

Crap and dark corners...

Hell and Hand grenades

Well this sucks.

So.

Kinda moved in with my bff Jill Amy.

Maybe most likely not going to MVA this year.
Attending the overcrowded, dangerous, and decidedly terrifying public high school.

Not going to Pennsic, which would have been my last self esteem boost /slash/ chance to have a summer fling before school starts.

Applied for a job.
No word back yet.

My mom lied to me about talking to the financial person at MVA. Which means she didn't even try to see if I can still go to MVA.
I need to talk to her...

and my father, because he's still ridiculously in denial.

I'm going to have to talk to Mark at some point in time, too. About his maybe-girlfriend, and me liking him, and how I think it wouldn't work if there was anything there but I want so much for something to be there...



Did I mention that my heart is breaking into tiny pieces?
Yeah.
That too.
