What a Summer!

HELLO EVERYONE!!

I'm baaaaaack!!

It was a fantastic summer! All I did was work! Whether it was babysitting or lifeguarding, I was constantly working. I had very few days off. But in all that grueling work I made twice as much as last summer! Woo!

So some updates:
1. I AM A HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR!! FINALLY!!!

2. My grandmother on my father's side died on July 25th. (tear)

3. Esu has officially left for college. (tear tear)

4. I broke my ankle on the 1st of September. (tear tear tear)

5. Lacrosse Camp was awesome!
6. My 17th birthday is tomorrow!!

1. I AM FINALLY A FREAKING SENIOR!!! I AM SO READY TO BE DONE WITH HIGH SCHOOL AND GO TO COLLEGE! YES!!!!!

2. My Grandma Ruth died.

Grandma Ruth was amazing. She was so genuine and dedicated to her family and her church. She was wonderful and I was shocked when I heard she died. The funeral was at her church in Atlanta on August 1st. It was a gorgeous ceremony. I cried of course. 2 of my cousins were being extremely disrespectful by playing hangman and listening to music through headphones. I wanted to hurt them. That's no appropriate. At all. This is why I hate people.

3. Esu Mane, my dear friend, has gone away to college. It's so weird not seeing her at school. She has always been there, even before I knew her. It's the strangest feeling to not see her everyday...

4. I did indeed break my ankle on the first of September. It pretty much sucks. I hate crutches. My ankle is STILL swollen. It's so stupid. I was being a klutz at a trampoline place and my ankle turned inward and something popped in my ankle bone area. It still hurts and still sucks. So hard.

5. Lacrosse camp was fantastic! It was beautiful! It was so warm and pleasant and the kids were so freaking cute! There was one kid who had never played lacrosse before and by the end of the week he was doing fantastically and I loved him so much! :D JaQuan and Assness were there. We actually had fun. Jiggelocity trained a couple of new goalies but neither of them are as good as he is. We'll miss him. :'(

6. MY SEVENTEENTH FREAKING BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW!!!! I'm so excited! I'm getting a present tonight from my grandparents since I won't see them tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I'm getting a Nikon One Camera! I'll have to start taking pictures and posting them on here. :) I love, love, love, love my grandparents! :D My other friends are bringing me presents to school which will be hard to manage since I'm on stupid crutches... But I'll enjoy it anyway. I love my birthday. :) September 19th is such a great day and has an awesome ring to it when you say it. :) We are going to the Melting Pot for dinner afterward school tomorrow. :)

Anyway, here comes the usual daily business:

Yesterday = WHAAAT???

Yesterday was strange. And fun. And... weird.

Yesterday, we all took a team picture for lacrosse. Of course, with my unbelievably awkward luck, I had to sit behind JaQuan Blackmon on a bench too thin too actually sit on with my full butt. And so, I had to put my knees on his back. At this point he's decided to lay back on me and pretend to sleep. I didn't mind, but it was weird. And to make it even more strange, he asks me to hold his hand... Whaaat??? Yeah... I was kind of weirded out actually. AND THEEEEN, when we get back to the field house after taking our wonderful picture, he decdides to take a nap with his leg on my lap. Again, Whaaat??? And so he proceeds to sleep on me. For an hour. I sure was warm...

Yesterday also involved Jo-E. Jo-E decided to bother me ALL AFTERNOON. He kept poking me and touching me and pinching me and, and URGGG!!!! It was annoying. After the scrimmage finally started at 5:30 I used Jo-E as a warmer. I sat between him and another girl. I was kind of warm-ish... After all of that was over, I  stole Jo-E's shoes and took them outside. Then he comes up behind me, grabs me around my waist, and picks me up. O.O Whaaat??? I was terrified!!! I HATE being picked up! With a passion. A fiery, burning passion of ten thousand suns. HATE IT! And he didn't just lift me up a little bit, he PICKED ME UP. Like two feet off the ground!!! I screamed, of course and lifted my knees to get him to put me down. Then I ran away. I had to stomp around and drag my feet every where to get the feeling of being up in the air to go away... I know. I'm weird and awkward...

Anyway. That's all I had for today.

Later Days.

I love Zooey Deschanel.

Zooey for President!!!!

A Slew of -Isms!

So, over this past wonderful weekend I was sick. Really sick. I woke up Saturday morning (the day I was supposed to go to the beach so that I could volunteer at the aquarium) and all of my muscles ached, my throat was killing me, my head was killing me, and I was sensitive to the light. Oh, and I had a fever. Good stuff. So I went downstairs, took some aspirin, and got ready to go. My mom kept asking me if I was okay and I told her I was fine, of course, and so, off to the beach we went! I worked at the Aquarium for 5 hours straight. No break. No water (which I had been drinking pretty much constantly since the early morning). It was bad. So I got in the car after my shift and I almost passed out. I was soooo tired at that point, it's unbelievable. I was supposed to go in and volunteer again on Sunday but I then had a fever that night so my mom told me to email and call the volunteer coordinator and tell her that I wasn't coming in the next morning. Instead we went to the pool and got breakfast and then left the beach.


Anyway! That's not what I was going to talk about. I was going to tell all of you what happened at our lacrosse game on Friday. First of all, we lost. Sadness, I know. But it was fun in other ways! Here I'll show you:

Esuism #8:
Me: "Wow, you really don't like her do you?"
Esu: "I do not like her, Sam-I-Am!"

She is strange sometimes.  X D

Esuism #9:
*rocking on the bench thing and singing along with the radio*
Esu: "Call me Mr. Flinstone, I can make your bench... thing... rock..."
X D

She's crazy! I love her. : ) Hahaha!

Esuism #10/Lunchism #2:
Esu: "*rant rant rant*... and you know what really creams my corn?!?!"
*rest of lunch table (which consists of Mr. McSmartiePants, Yammer, and the Dreaden) laugh rather hardily*

X D Oh, Esu.

Esuism #11/ Coach MacDaddyism #1:
*Esu pulls her penguin hat down over her face*
Coach MacDaddy: "ATTACK OF THE PENGUINS!!!"

Coach is hilarious. : )

Mojoism #3:
*bored at the lacrosse game during halftime*
Me: "I'm just bouncing on my butt muscles right now!!!"
Esu and the Asian: "Hahahahahaha!!!!"

Oh, boredom.

Asianism #1:
*weird music is being played over the loud speaker at the lacrosse game*
Asian: "It sounds like they're having monkey sex!"

We have way too much fun.


That's all I had to say today.

Later Days.
