Wow this place is still alive! And yes I'm a still alive. Well, kinda. So clearly I haven't been around a lot.... Real sorry about that one guys. But towards the end of school my grades were slipping and I had less free time. I did manage to pull my grades up and my lowest grade was a C+! As long as I promise to try harder in 7th grade my parents have let me have my freedom. But with so much going on I'm beginning to wonder how much I can take.
So problem one. We're moving. Three houses down. Now I know that doesn't seem so bad but I have lived in the same house since birth. My parents bought this house like, 14 years ago! I WANT to move but there is a lot of work to do. My room has years worth of **** to clean out and I don't know what to do with it all. I began cleaning today and my bathroom is completely finished (YEAH). But I go to camp next week and I only have til then to finish cleaning and organizing EVERYTHING! Yeah I don't really need advice on this I just needed to rant.
Okay problem two. Camp. I can't wait but with it comes a lot of work. Now I've been to camp before. One weeks worth of parent freeness combined with the love of outdoors. Like I said before, I have to completely organize my room first. Plus I just found out that my best friend isn't going after all. Her parents are strict and she got herself grounded. Hurray. She is like my sister. We see each other at least once a week. I'm going to miss her sooo much! Two other girls that I have known since I was little are going too. One (let's call her Liz) is a good friend. I like her and (hopefully) she likes me. We're having a pre-camp sleepover tomorrow. She has been to the camp before. Her only problem is her temper. Both of us have one and once it's flared it's like a boxing match. Well not quite. But my temper is the worst. I tend to use hateful words and hurt other people. I try not to but when my temper is flared I can't control myself. It can take almost an hour for me to calm myself down. Any advice to help me keep the peace with this friend? The other friend (let's call her Kangaroo which is my nick-name for her) is a germ freak. Clean hands and all. Her family is very neat and tidy. Her mother runs her life and keeps to a schedule which is the very opposite of my family who is a pack of hungry lions fighting over the same piece of meat. This friend is spoiled. She doesn't get everything she wants but she'll demand for people to act to suite her style. She is like a well mannered two year old. She thinks I don't like her which isn't true but I can't stand to be around her very long. But at camp it will be 24/7. This friend and Liz are close friends so how do I keep them (and myself) from wanting to claw me apart?
Problem 3. The dreaded topic. Boys. Yes all normal teen girls like them but why is it so complex? I like two different guys right now but I need help choosing one to leave behind for a while so that I don't feel AS confused and upset.
Guy 1: Ethan. My best friend's step brother. Which makes it hard because she'll say things like 'Ethan's such a jerk.' and then get upset because I don't agree. Ethan lives across the street. Towards the end of school he was choosing between me and my friend Sammy. He wanted to ask me out on the last day of school but wanted to know if I liked him first. My BFF left me and him alone on the trampoline on that day and he asked me who I had a crush on. I knew he wanted to ask me out but instead of simply saying the word 'you' I said 'nobody.' A few weeks later he saw Sammy at a baseball game and she admitted she liked him but they aren't a couple yet. But when school rolls around that will change. Plus Ethan has only dated popular brats. Sammy isn't one of those but she is kind and pretty. My style is laid back and I come off mean unless you really know me. I dress for comfort and uniqueness which means I'm by no means popular. I could be beautiful if I wanted to be but I have no interest. And I am NOT going to change for any boy or just to be part of the popular crowd.
Boy 2: John. My cottage neighbor. Me and him have the same points in life. Adventures, family and friends and animals. He owns a quite a few pets. Two dogs, a parakeet and more. He almost for sure likes me (that's what everyone says anyways) and is super nice. We hang out and joke and laugh. It really helps that my brother is his friend and John comes to places with us. The other day John's family and friends and my family all had our boats parked in a cove and one of our floats floated off. One of the parents shouted for someone to go and get it. Me and John both went. It was a long swim and both of us were panting by the time we got to it. He looked into my eyes (his eyes are the most AMAZING blue) and we both laughed. Then we grabbed onto the raft and went back to the boats. So he would be the most PERFECT boyfriend ever simply because he is an AMAZING guy but he lives TWO HOURS away. I may be young but I know enough to know that long distance relationships aren't the greatest. But I really like him....
So thats the end of my long rant. It's now 2:40 A.M. and I have to get up at 8:00 A.M. for riding lessons so see you later peeps!
