interesting things. . .

[guingel]

what a nice day. Well, actually, first I felt bad because I slept almost through the entire time where my cousins were here--the people near my age. I woke up (got woken up) in time to eat, although I was rather sluggish. Then I went online and had fun conversations with jedera (I will get around to reading your journal--I'm so sorry. . . I've been swamped with friends entries. >.< but school is almost over. . .).

Anyway, then I got to spend some quality time with my mom, which was extremely cool because I don't do that enough and it makes me feel good and I love my parents so very very much, and I'm very lucky to have them. I played badminton with my mom, which was doubly fun because I love badminton as well. And then I went in and read the part in Le Petit Prince (in French, which was a bit tricky but my mom was there to play consultant) with the fox, because Katie and David were having a discussion about it. Then I finished and was bored and Katie still wanted the computer--so I played rummy with my mom and dad. That was a lot of fun. Mom won though. :( ah well ;) I'm afraid I acted a little more upset than I was. >.< oops. oh dear.

Then I went online, and I talked to David, which was very interesting (you know, I'm starting to lapse into French more and more? I'm going to have to keep it out of my journal entries. . .) because we were talking about hidden depths (I quoted from one of my jedera conversations because he wanted some philosophical discussion for his last 10 minutes--which I managed to drag out to 15) and I was saying that I didn't really have any that were completely hidden from everyone (journal has helped. ::hugs journal::) lol. But he was saying that there were things he didn't know about me, which brought around some extremely interesting confessions. Someone I've never told anyone, and I'm glad Katie was there, because this was the one thing she didn't know about me--the one thing no one knew about me. ::deep sigh:: And god, part of it is that it's a secret I've been keeping for so long, which means it both weighed on me, and has been doing so for so long. And when I keep secrets I feel like it's because it's something to be ashamed of, so I usually tell people everything--even if it's a little embarassing (and even if they don't want to hear). So I was absolutely ripe to tell someone about this, and all I needed was the tiniest bit of encouragement that he provided. what an interesting feeling. My god. I've told someone!

but then Katie got upset because she felt David likes me better than her, which is really worrisome, and which we couldn't continue, because David really had to write his valedictorian speech. :-/ So now she's upset and I'm going to go and try to find her. ::frowns:: ack. so upsetting.

i'm going to show you guys a picture of David sometimes, he shows up so often and in so many different roles. I think you might need a face.

I'm hoping to spend more time outside this summer--playing badminton, and maybe a little tennis. And I had so much fun at the park, and playing keep it up and blowing bubbles at Emily's. Much much fun.

ok. good-bye. much love.

I don't tell other peoples secrets either, I'm good that way. ^_^

Wow, the first part of your summer sounds very, well, East Coast. Like, dude, people out here on the Left Coast have all sorts of funny stereotypes of what y'all over there do. It's funny. I've heard a lot about how different and how similar people on both coasts are. I mean, we share a culture what with television and everything, but there are SO many miles seperating us. In ancient times, a trek from California to New York would be a major expedition to an exotic and foreign land. Like, are the styles and attitudes different there? I know we probably talk differently, due to regional dialects and accents. Eh, whatever, interesting to think about anyway.

yeah, it is interesting. I tend to divide the US into the colonies--New England, Middle, Southern, and then a general West. Like, I think of CA on it's own, and then I put NM with Arizona, and all those northwestern states get grouped together, and so do the northen Minnestota/wisconsin type states, and so do all the Indiana/Kansas type states. I think that's how I divide it. NY, NJ, Penn (kinda) and Conn. Mass is kinda on it's own, and then Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine are together. The south is just a big clump, I'm ashamed to say.
(that was rather rambly. . . soz)

I wanna hear some of these stereotypes!! lol.

It's so cool how spread out and diverse we are. One thing I can be proud of ;)
