Where did SUMMER go?

seriously... This summer has been a trip, but at the same time it's been FLYING by. Even though my summer is going to be cut short because WSU starts so early, what did I do these whole 6 weeks?!? I really don't even know where to begin...

Well to start off, the familymobile got towed about 2 weeks ago. I went to a TKE party and parked my car in a fairly safe parking lot. As I have my fun and time goes by, I start to head back to my car thats not where I parked it. My friend, Laura, almost freaks me out by saying the worst that could happen to my car, it being stolen. For a split second I almost believe her, until I realize that you can't just steal a Ford Taurus, it's basically a police car and it can't be wired up to start. So it becomes clear to me that my car had gotten towed. My AWESOME friend Brandon (my ex water polo coach) was truely the homie. He called a cab, paid for it, and let me and Laura pass out at his apartment until he would drive us the next morning and paid the $200 for my towed car. Seriously, I couldn't have asked for more from him, except for smoking me out every once in a while ha ha.

OF course, I am supposed to pay my good friend back. So I go to the bank and take out $200 from my account, which is most of what I have, and I cash it. I bring the stack home and put it underneath a book so I don't have the temptation of spending it. A couple days later, I meet up with brandon again and go back to the spot where I had left my money, and knowing me and my luck, the money had vanished. I told NO ONE where I put the money and my sister and dad both claimed that they didn't take it either so I was just basically in a panic attack all day. I knew at some point I would need some help from my dad to pay brandon back but I didn't know how to tell him. Well it's funny because today my dad comes up to me and started talking to me about my $200 that disappeared, he then said that I would need to start working around the house to earn the money back so that I could pay for my tow. I don't know how he found out, but I'm thinking either my sister, brother, or aunt had told him, but my bets are on my brother.

Last night, after finding out that my hopes on finding my money were pretty slim to none, I invite people over. I didn't realize or expect so many people to show up but that's pretty much what happened. Everything started to get out of hand but at some point I just didn't care and I wanted to have SOME fun after a depressing and frustrating day. My dad came home though at around 10 and seemed to be alright that I had a crowd over as he was talking to all my friends and saying something around how he was known as the "king" at parties. What a funny guy ... but not really the next morning. He grounded me from the car until I leave so basically I wont be able to drive it forever and said I couldnt go to summer jam today. That really bummed me out but at the same time I wasn't feeling very well from last night so I'm not too upset and disappointed that I couldn't go. I need to make some money around the house anyway.

I'm REALLY excited though about the ALIVE trip that I'm about to go on with my good buddy Calvin. First off, my dad insisted on taking me because he thought it would be a good time to bond and talk about everything, also for him to see what I'm about to get myself into at WSU. But then yesterday he came up to me and said that he was having a hard time getting off work to take me so I realized I could go with calv after all! I'm pretty stoked about that now. I just hope I don't get really cruddy classes since we're going on the last session where you can sign up for classes. whatever though I'm in.

Well I better go off to cleaning up the house and makin some money from the father. At least I haven't gotten the WWF attitude from him... he's been pretty calm about everything but firm with the consequences... fair enough.

Yeah about not writing in this blog as much as I should...

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

oh wow... I almost let a whole month go by without me making an update. This summer has been a trip though.. every day is a new day for me and I always seem to find a way so that every day is fun and I'm not just sitting on my ass or going to work. My dad kind of gave up on helping me find a job just because its so much work and I don't have that much time left until I leave so its whatever i guess.

The fourth of july was pretty alright for me, considering I was in federal way! Well I thought I was just going to be at my uncle's place for the day but as time carried on we started to realize that we're not going to have a ride back to bellevue or even seattle to go to gasworks. So we ended up just staying there for the night and the next day (we as in me, my sister, and ally). Knowing me, I wanted to make the best of where I was at so my cousins, my sister, ally and I all got faded behind my uncle's back and just had a good time for the rest of the night. HA HA oh and later on we went down the street where there were some boys my age setting off fireworks which was fun. But the best part was when these girls show up and don't seem friendly to me and Ally, I dunno maybe because we were tall and pretty and they were fat and ugly ha ha, but we had to go home we started walking away and the girls were like "fuck you!" We didn't know for sure if they were talking to us so we kept walking. We realized later that night that they were talking to us because the girl called us up and started bitching at us so we retaliated and we came down to the point where we were going to fight the next day or something but then Ally's phone went dead so nothing else happened. It was just funny to see girls who were just being I dunno, jealous? or just stuck up because they didn't know us? Ha ha whatever though it was a fun night.

Jeez summer is flying so fast though! It's crazy to think that I only have 5 more weeks of summer until I'm off to college! Maybe I'm just scared and anxious at the same time knowing that my life is about to change so much so soon. I'm glad that there will be many other people just like me who will be in the same position and feeling the same way. Thats more comforting I guess.

Well I probably should be getting ready for the day considering I just woke up an hour ago and its already 2! Good thing that is a cruddy day for weather.

If I haven't seen some of you guys yet this summer and you want to kick it CALL ME! keep in touch you know who you are.
