It's been a weird summer.
Greece was amazing in its own way. I rode a donkey up the cliffs of Santorini and tried authentic Greek foods, finding that Greek salads are nothing like the American versions. I chopped off 11 inches of my hair and donated it to the Pantene cause. When I went to the doctor's for my physical in June I found out I gained 8 pounds since last summer.. pretty depressing. Geoff and I were horrible for awhile, took that break for a couple weeks, and got back together before I left for Greece. Things have been okay since. He's sweet and does sweet things. Whatever. He recently went to a doctor to get a prescription for some chemical imbalance in his brain with something that starts with an S... i forget what it's called right now. Things seem to be getting better since he started taking that medicine. We had to empty the pool to get it re-tiled, and filled it once the project was done. Funny thing is, with all the rain this summer mom has had to actually empty water out of the pool. I've gotten incredibly sick of my Burlington friends and their immaturity. Definitely prefer my school friends. It just seems to me that even though we have all gone off to college, they still can't get past the high school drama that they insist on bringing upon themselves and everyone around them. Nothing has happened between any of them and me, but I'm just sick of being around it and hearing about it between everybody else.
I went to the cape Monday after we got home from NH with my friends Kelley and Marwa. I got home last night around 8:30 and went straight to my friend Kayla's going away party. She's one of my friends from Riv but she got an internship down at Disneyworld and she leaves on Friday and stays until January, so that kind of sucks; I'll miss her. But I know this is what she wants to do right now so I know she'll enjoy it.
Me and mom went up to wolfeboro this past weekend. It was good to see everybody, but hard to see Grampy the way he has been. I guess his surgery is next Wednesday, a week from today. It's scary. I think about it a lot, probably too much. I hate not being able to help him. I talked with mom this morning about why Grammy and Grampy won't talk about it or tell anybody anything. Then I told her how you (Lauren) found out through Katelyn who found out through Sheryl. She was surprised but not surprised enough, if you know what I mean. Marianne came over for dinner tonight for the first time in a long time. Mom said to her, "you know about Grampy, right?" and she said yeah, but that she'd heard it from Margie (I think) who had heard it from Margo who had made it seem when she told her that Grammy and Grampy were trying to keep it quiet.
It's frustrating because I know that Grammy and Grampy want to tell people in our family themselves, but then they don't. It's not that they don't want family to know, it's that they want to be the ones to tell them in person. I also think that they prefer to avoid thinking about it instead of facing it head-on. I cant think about it anymore.. my brain is... aching. ? |

lots of shit going on. prom's tomorrow and i'm sort of stressing. i'm not even really that excited about it. i made my own jewelry with those swarovski crystals from michaels and they (necklace and bracelet) came out really nice. i still need to get a handbag type thing and get my nails done... i'm going with lynn (my neighbor and from work) after school to get acrylics at the mall (yikes) and then probably somewhere else in the mall or go to kohls for a handbag i guess. i think my mom is planning a surprise or something because she said she talked to a few people that she doesn't talk with regularly anymore cuz... life got in the way i guess, and i asked her why she randomly called them and she said she couldn't tell me, and they are the moms of the friends i'm going to prom with. lol.
soo anyways... yesterday morning luke got suspended because he's an idiot and beat some kid up lol. but there was nothing wrong with the kid and people were going around saying that he needed to have plastic surgery and shit which wasn't true butttttttttt i have to end this cuz i'm in journalism again and it's almost over lol i'll finish later... except who knows if i'll be able to type with those friggen nail things =O |
