For You, Robin.

Since I ragged you on how you went 3 months without updating, I guess it's only fair that I listen to you and do an update. It's a good thing I love you.

Ok so I'm eating the nastiest ass yogurt I've ever eaten in my life.It's this yoplait whips stuff, creamy latte flavored. It has the consistency of chocolate mousse I think, but since its not mousse but yogurt it's just weird. And the whole coffee flavoring thing isn't working so well. Pretty much the only reason I'm eating it is cause Abby didn't think I could finish it. HA! Done. A word of advice: don't eat this shit.

Season started this weekend in Lubbock for diving again and for those who care: Tanner and I worked again as a team this meet and placed 4th on 1 meter, 2nd on 3 meter, and I individually tied for 4th in the Rip Contest. (you try to enter the water as cleanly as possible). Not bad. This Thursday is our first overnight to San Angelo, pretty excited for that. Heheh initiation for the freshmen.....ice water baths.....heheh...

So yes. Can't think of anything else. Be amazed, my love. You made me update.

Oh my god. Dad just blocked myspace on our computers. I mean come on, I finally get around to making one and he blocks it so I can't even get to other people's from my computer. He thinks it;s "evil" or dangerous or something. What a jerk.

And I think I have a spider bite on my leg. Yay.

Isn't it funny how everyone always gets really excited for summer break but then when we get it most of us have no idea what to do with it? I'm so bored I can almost feel my brains leaking out my ears

Wow so tonight was Dad's company picnic at Wonderland. I thought it was going to be a total waste of time but I got Abby to ride a new ride for her and we ended up on that one pretty much the whole time lol. And this one guy from defensive driving back in December walked up to me and started talking to Abby and I. Turns out he works there but it was his night off (?!?!?) and he offered to get me on the texas tornado free if I went with him. Abby and I shook him off at the tilt a whirl pretty much immediately.Honestly, what guy goes to work on his night off just to hang out? Creepy guys, thats who.

End!!

Updates! Woot! Ok for real. Pretty much not a lot has happened in my life since May 8. Ok that was kindof a lie. Ummm I turned 17 so I can go see R rated movies if I really wanted to. School is obviously out and graduation tonight seemed to last forever. It prolly won't seem as long next year when it's me actually waiting to go get my diploma thingy. Cause it's not actually the diploma you recieve. Apparently its this notice giving you the time, date, and place you can get the actual thing. That cracked me up. Last night we went to see the midnight premiere of X men 3 and it was pretty much really good. I slept till 2 today hee hee. I made Freedom Singers for next year which I'm pretty psyched about. The only semester exam I had to take I made 126 on so that made me really happy.

I'm actually pretty excited for out english summer project. We have to read Brave New World which is suupsedly this "Big Brother is Watching You" weird sort of science fiction plot so it should be pretty interesting. I bet I can get it done in like 2 days max lol. I'm like the world's biggest book geek.

So I'm going to see Derrick for a total of like 3 weeks this summer. He's going to be a counselor with one of his buddies at boys scout camp and then we'll see eachother and thenthe week after July 4th I leave for Austin for the rest of the summer. It may be 4 cause we don't know if we're gonna stay wiht my aunts for 2 weeks before camp like we usually do or just 1. Wow at least it's not the 9 weeks it was last summer though. That was misery. He might be a counselor at the camp I go to though. That wouldn't really do anything even then because we don't ever see eachother really. So I guess it's a play it by ear sort of thing.

Congratulations Class of 2006!

Truth

"I seem to have been like a child playing on the sea shore...whilst the great ocean of truth lay undiscovered before me." - Sir Issac Newton

Children will always play by the sea.

They learn , you see.

As I have learned.

Truth is like the ocean.

Infinitely deep, not completely known or familiar.

They step into the surf, seeking for the little treasures of the deep.

Then they jump back to the sand.

To what they know and recognise.

For they could not yet handle the water,

like some who cannot handle the truth.

So last night was probably the closest I've ever come to dying.. Derrick got his '83 Supra last night and we drove out past the city limits to look at the stars cause theyr'e not nearly as bright in town. We were coming back on Washington and as we were coming over the bridge just outside the city limits, this huge dog bolts in front of the car. It looked more like a wolf, but I don't think we have any that big around here. He had to slam on the brakes and the tires locked up so we skidded to the left into the other lane, but we just missed the dog/wolf thing. Then he got pulled over for speeding, but he didn't get a ticket prolly cause the police officer saw it and maybe felt bad for us!

Earlier that day I got to hang out with Stacy!!!Yay Stacy!! It was fun. Ducks are harder to hit with dirt clods standing still than they are when theyr'e swimming lol. So yes Saturday was definitely fun!
