Dorothy, as we call her (she had loved Wizard of Oz since she I have known her, therefore we call her Dorothy, or Tin Can if she annoys us because she loves the Tin Man.) had a party just two days ago. It was placed at this small restaurant's party room. 30 people from her school showed up! woohoo! (kidding..) well, i don't go to her school. never have, probably never will. so..let's just say..yet again I was the outsider of the group. but luckily, outsiders are never alone. so, we must gather together and strike back. i always go for the biggest partiers and other 'outsiders'. luckily in the first half hour i spotted both. dallas(texas, as we called her) and katie were in the corner dancing while others still were greeting eachother, so i went and started singing along with them. granted, by the end of the night i had at least 5 phone numbers and 15 email addresses by the end of the night.

party ranking:A!

I'm just sitting here, munching on my carrots (I have decided to 'eat healthier' this summer, but have only trapped myself in a revolving world of temptations. Of course I give in, but am slowly teaching myself willpower. Is it possible to learn how to have some good-ol' willpower?) and I get this phone call. From who? None other than Michael, my so-called 'gay' best friend. Maybe not best friend, but friend. Friendly, happy, ha-ha, laugh it all off(no flirty giggles, as I remind you) f-r-i-e-n-d. But guess what he said (asked) me? Well, none other than a date. A DATE! All this time I go around thinking he was gay, but apparently he is now bi. Am I the last one to find out?

Well, I just had to let that out. And would like your opinions on this, streamers. Help!?

ahh. the first trip to the beach. another last minute thing of pulling an all-nighter with my friend. what the heck? it's summer! time to just not have plans! so of course i go to the beach in last years too-big bathing suit (i got really sick in winter and lost 10 pounds..but the doctor says the weight loss was fine) with only sunscreen on my face, thinking that i will only sit on a towel and read--perhaps a summery book or comic..under the shade of an oversized beach umbrella. i mean, i love the ocean, but when i go with only the neighbors and family, i hate staying in the water by myself. so i only took a dip and came back up to relax.

i felt myself giving into the fact i hadn't slept at alll last night. &, of course, i fell asleep on the worst place ever to fall asleep on--underneath the summer sun. but oh well, i was thinking at the time, i am under an umbrella. but (according to my neighbor), my umbrella kept on falling, so they just took it down.

and now my back resembles something worse than a lobster :

if only i could get rid of this stuff!

on top of my list 'things to do this summer that you will do because you enjoy them instead of the important things that you will do last minute' was to keep you lovely streamers notified of my doings this heat-filled summer. i have missed only one party so far--a drinking party consisting of people at least 3 years older than me--not a great place to be.

but today my friend and i are making cupcakes for this guy at our nearest restaurant, whom my friend has tripped and fallen 'in love' with. just some teen dream of ours..so we visit him weekly. he gives us free samples of the food and practically gives us free meals! so today we are going to walk in the 96 degree weather to give this greek 'god' (as my friend says. she says that basically if you are greek you have to be considered at least a sorta-kinda version of hot.) a cupcake. because after at least three months of being kind to us, we are going to repay him with a sweaty (after we walk that mile) and sugary cupcake. & watch, just watch, today he will have taken the day off to bask under the blue sky with the waves lapping his feet..

don't let me get into details of the beach--i can't go until tomorrow or thursday. maybe not until friday! *sighs* i love the ocean.

don't worry--i will try to write at least once a week!

NO MORE SCHOOL! i didn't go yesterday..no more exams! BUT IT IS OFFICIALLY SUMMER!
