I feel good. Even though it is sooo hot. But it's less hot at 2:30 in the morning. ::coughs:: I'll get back into a normal sleeping schedule while I'm away.
To combat the heat I've been spending a lot of time naked. Well, I was able to do that more today because I was shut up in my room cleaning up. I did so much work! Naked clean up time=productivity, apparently. But I got a lot done. Like, crazy thorough cleaning that I didn't expect to do. I still have stuff to finish up tomorrow, though, so hopefully it won't be too hot for me to work. I can always take a cold shower. I have a couple boxes to lug around, but I did some of the lugging today, and it's really Katie's lugging so hopefully she'll lend a hand. . .
I threw out, like, 7 grocery store shopping bags full of garbage today (that's an estimate cos I wasn't using only grocery store bags). So that's a lot of crap out of my room, and off my bookshelf, and out from under my bed (it was actually in boxes under the bed, I'd cleaned out the random crap earlier, but now I can put other stuff under there. Perin gave me the idea) (Oooh, now when I mention Perin i can link to her journal: froggie115p)

I need to make a list of books I want mom to take out of the library for me to read during vacation. Something fun and relaxing. There are books I want to read, I just can't remember any when I need to. >.< Curses.

I'm so excited about going to Loch Lyme, though (my vacationing spot). We're staying in one of the three cabins that are right near the lake/pond. We're actually back in the first lakeside cabin we ever stayed in, after several years, Balsam. It's the furthest one back, although that doesn't say much. Lakefield is possibly the nicest, but I love Balsam, too. It has an excellent screened in porch. I'm also looking forward to just lying around outside reading, and swimming, and going for walks, and my grandpa's waffles and cinnamon buns in the morning, and hopefully lovely weather! And just a kind of simple existence. But I'm going to miss my friends, on and off line :( Loch Lyme Lodge is really fantastic, though. It's a great place. :D

Strange Dutch movie has been removed from my house. I watched it again. . . Katie thinks I'm a freak. Well, it is disturbing, but I find it fascinating. And I think one of the characters is absolutely sweet and darling, but that's a problem in and of itself. Anyway, I'm going to see if I can get the book version and see if I can get a better grasp of events. Have also asked mom to see if they have more Dutch movies at the library, cos I love the way it sounds!

Speaking of my mom's strange foreign films, has anyone seen A Chef in Love? It had a few surrealistic points, and a couple things that were difficult to understand, but it was ok cos all the other parts were cool. And it's just an incredibly beautiful movie. I mean. . . I don't know how to describe it. It's just visually attractive. And I was very fond of Nino Kirtadze. Particularly her coloring. . . she looked like a painting.
Whoa. Both of those films have age difference things going on. But it's not a problem in A Chef in Love.

Anyway. I'm lost. I was looking at pictures from A Chef In Love. lol. Am also looking at pictures of Jennifer Connelly, because I think she's gorgeous! Maybe it's just because she looks like Francine. lol.

Damn, I really need to think of some books I want to read. And pack! I need to pack! AUGH!!! I leave tomorrow, actually, cos it's Friday now. >.<

Perin and Emily (d3c3p7i0n) came over today. Well, I use the term loosely. They entered our foyer, and then we all went to David's XD He has air conditioning. We made ourselves dinner because we were too po' to go out and buy something. It was much fun.

Dad fixed our computer again. O.o Hopefully this time it'll hold. lol. And he says he made sure our favorites were secure! Actually, to fix things he turned our computer into his computer, and then fixed our computer from his computer which is actually our computer. XD But our computer is still his computer, so that's what I'm writing from. ::waves::

I want to start leaving more comments. But I don't want to be annoying, and I don't want to say anything unless I have something to say. Oh well, I'm going away for two weeks. . . I'll try to be witty when i come back ;)

I should go to bed. But I finally feel cool. lol. And relaxed, and productive, and happy. No wonder I feel good! I'm just concerned about those books, and about getting my packing done. Aside from that I'm good. I want my grades, though. But my mom's going to be at work all day tomorrow, and I don't think I'd be able to convince her to call the school for them even if she wasn't. Who would I call, anyway? Guidance?

I feel alone and isolated on the internet. ::Does strange, silly dance around internet:: I suddenly got the feeling that no one was looking at me, so it would be safe to do a dance. O.o I suppose this is what happens when you update at 2. Oh, it's 3 now. Whoops! Well, I woke up at 12. So if I'd gotten up at, say, 9, it would only be midnight! Plus, I took a two hour nap, which puts me all the way back to 10.

Nonetheless, i think I should go to bed now. It's so much easier to do your living at night during heat waves, though! (I wouldn't do well in Arizona or somewhere where temperatures over 100 are the norm. I mean, it scares me that it's even hotter than it's been here lately, for even longer. I am definitely a temperate climate lover. I need change, and I don't like extremes.)

For some reason, I can't sleep naked. I feel kinda gross, so I'l generally just wear underwear. The only time I can sleep naked is if I'm with Jen who sleeps naked as an everyday thing (even when it's cold -- I don't get that).

I don't know why being with someone else makes it less gross for me to sleep naked. It's quite strange.

I do wear underwear sometimes, but I don't know--for some reason I dont' count underwear. Maybe because girls can't get away with wandering around in boxers. Which my brother does XP

Oh man, I can't imagine sleeping naked when it's cold. I mean, sometimes I've forgotten to put socks on, like, after I shower, and I've actually woken up in the middle of the night because my feet are too cold and had to put them on. So in winter I definitely have to ve wrapped up well.

Hmmm. Maybe you feel better when she's keeping you company in nakedness. I wouldn't know about sleeping with someone ;)

Have fun in Loch Lyme

There's something about being unplugged and in the outdoors even for a respite. After the withdrawal, having the chance to commune with yourself, literature and nature in seclusion allows me to bring some serenity back. Just stay away from the newspaper or the television. :)

Yeah, I remember feeling really good last year--and we found out that we could use the internet at the library, but I decided to stay away from the computers. And I never read the newspaper. My dad does, but he sleeps a lot to balance out any loss of serenity from that ;)

It's funny how I'm actually on vacation and have been so for a week, but I'm not really going to relax fully until I go away and all. Well, I mean, it's not that strange considering what we just talked about, but still. I'm glad we do this early on in the summer.

I don't know how you do it! I dunno, a week in Vermont at the end of the summer usually finds me going stir crazy from internet loss! But I guess it's different for you since you're going right at the start of summer. When we go, pretty much the next week is the first week back at school. But I do agree with you that getting away from it all is very relaxing- especially in areas like Loch Lyme. I just might have to make some phone calls as compensation for lack of internet XD

Perin and Emily (d3c3p7i0n) came over today. Well, I use the term loosely. They entered our foyer, and then we all went to David's XD He has air conditioning. We made ourselves dinner because we were too po' to go out and buy something. It was much fun.
Lol! This is true, he did have AC. And we were too po' to buy food. But hey, good times were had by all, ne?

Katie brought her cell phone, but apparently verizon has no receoption in new hampshire or something. When we went to vermont to look at a college she called david for a little until we went into the mountains and the reception stopped.

I dunno, though. I think I have a much more relaxing time away from the internet, although there were several things I wanted to look up. . . but I kind of got to find myself. I just had an amazing time. :D I'm bound to write it up at some point.

But now we're home and we discovered that Mike had, uhm, a little too good a time while we were gone. Our poor house! Oh my god. I'm really pissed at him. And our upstairs computer isn't working! (I'm on dad's) ::sigh::

But hey, good times were had by all, ne?
Oh, definitely :D You guys have gotta come over soon--for our birthday, if not before. Hopefully our house will have recovered.

I walk around in boxers!! XD

[guingel.livejournal.com]

high five!! ::holds up hand::
::gets tired from waiting::

Actually, when I got to new hampshire I discovered I had bug bites all over my stomach and back (well, like, 5) presumably from my naked times, so maybe it's not such a good idea. . . but it feels so good when it's hot!
