Yeah, today was my sister's birthday, she turned 21, and I'm still full from dinner and the cake. I love the cake from my work. Marisa and her friend Chelsea went to the beach and I would've gone with them if they hadn't asked me at the last minute. I'm going tomorrow though. She got Rock Band as a birthday present to herself and Matt had to go to his house to get the XBox 360. Let me tell you, I haven't played that XBox until now even after my sister got GTA4. Matt also bought a microphone when he got the XBox. That was really the only reason I played. Yeah, I only do vocals and also, it was the FIRST TIME I've ever sang around my family. Well... excluding Cassie but she's 8. I do believe I surprised my sister. My mom kept telling me to sing louder. I was singing quite loud. And before I started playing Chelsea was doing vocals, Matt was playing the guitar, Marisa and I were watching but I was singing along. Marisa was kinda surprised. I told her I've played before. Guess she forgot.

Well on other stuff. Going to the beach tomorrow with those same people mentioned above. Yeah, the waves are taller than my sister at Horse Neck beach. Today, she and Chelsea were apparently pulled down four lifeguard stands because of the rip-tide. I'm bringing my facemask because if I go underwater without it or holding my nose, water will go up and either I'll swalow it, inhale it, or it'll come out of my mouth. Ain't that fun? Oh right the REASON I'll need it, there are waves taller than my sister and we're the same height.

Thursday!!!!! Fireworks in EAST DENNIS!!!!! YAY!!!! I'm not working, Sheri will be making her work let her have the day off because she's sick of being accused of shit which means we leave early in the morning. Probably 9:00/10:00ish in the morning so that we can go swimming. Im glad my mom said yes to Ashura coming. My way of persusion? "Her family's always letting me do stuff with them, it would be nice if she could come with us to the Cape." Oh yeah, I'm good. No, I wasn't trying to make her feel guilty. It's just the perfect words to make her say yes We'll obviously be back late. Oh and Ashura, there will be an 8 year old who you have seen before. If she's weary of you, tell her you like Pokemon and you draw just like I do. I'm sure she'll warm up to you.

EDIT: Nevermind, Ashura, my mom said we'll be leaving between 12 and 1 cuz she doesn't want to go to the bach too early. I wonder if the sunblock she bought will be good in Aruba.. The reason? I plan on trying to get at least 1 of 3 finished pieces for AP Art done while I'm there. Maybe some Sketchbook drawings too. Sure, we don't HAVE to do them during summer, but I weanna draw some Iguanas. They're so cute!!!!!!

While singing the song "Creep" there is a part where the guy says RUN very high pitched. I swear I was on a sugar and caffeine high cuz I couldn't stop laughing to get it right.

In between laughs and lines "How could someone do this part without laughing???!!!!!" Continues to say RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN in a high pitched voice with laughter in it.

Second time typing this because the first time something messed up >.< Well, it'll be shorter. I'm lazy deal with it. I had a good time, so did Marisa, her friend Chelsea, and Cassie. The water was nice. My facemask was leaking so I couldn't use it. In fact I probably need a new one. We need to go to the dive shop and get stuff to keep the masks from fogging when we're in Aruba anyway. And I need a mask that doesn't leak anyway. That's right, I need to check and see if my flippers still fit. Heh, I still remember my mom telling my sister and I that my dad was surprised at how well we swim without flippers. Especially when snorkeling. Apparently, he's not a very good swimmer unless he has flippers XD And he scuba dives.

Well, fireworks in the Cape are next Thursday and I want to bring someone who hasn't gone gone with me. Probably Ashura, but then the problem is my mom.... I don't get it at all. I'll see what I can do, and when you read this, see what you can do too. Remember, July 3rd. Hopefully I'm not working.

Gee maybe the saltwater at the beach will help me get rid of the moquito bite on my elbow. Yeah, we're going to the Cape tomorrow so my mom can have the guy that's going to build our new house measure our old house because every plan my mom chooses keeps on being too much money. And we all like the old Cape house, plus we can tell the historical land whatchamacallit people the you can't get more historic han that house because it's been there for 44 years. Hey has anyone else noticed I've been making a lot of journals lately? Hmm I think tomorrow we're going to be hanging out at Regi and Elane's house. Seeing as how we sold ours. So it's going to be me, my mom, Cassie, Marisa, and Marisa's friend Chelsea. I wonder, will it be low tide when we get to the beach, or will it be high tide? Coming in, or going out?

I had to babysit Cassie on Sunday because my mom, John, and Sheri went to New Jersey. John's going to Iraq. But he won't be near Baghdad. But back to the babysitting. The people next door to John and Sheri's apparently sell drugs and have an annoying 4 year old daughter named Destiny that seems like she's unwanted by her mother and rides her bike around at 11:00 pm. Did I mention her house get cars contantly coming to her mother's house late at night tht gives everyone the suspicion they're selling drugs? Well, Sunday it was rainy and I told Cassie that if it started to rain she had to come in. Well Destiny and this spoiled kid Cory kept on wanting her to come out, when it was pouring. Before it even started to rain I told her that if it started raining she had to come, but that's because I keep an eye on the clouds and knew what was coming. I made Cassie come inside for the night a 8 and who comes to the door asking for Cassie but Destiny. She wanted Cassie to play, but it was pouring outside and he girls says it's not. Luckily she didn't come back after I told her Cassie was in for the night. My mom and Sheri din't get back till around 4:00 am. But I found a way to stay up. Stick on episodes of Pokemon that you haven't seen in years and use the computer at the same time, oh and have Mountain Dew (drank four cans that night/morning). By the time My mom and I got home and I went to bed, dawn was starting to break an I was overtired. I thought I wasn't going to fall asleep but I did after about a half hour maybe.

Yeah, I've been on vacation since Friday but forgot to make a journal So yeah, doesn't that explain all the oekakis? I'm bored okay. When I'm bored I draw, if I'm bored on the computer, I make an oekaki. Simple as that. I wonder if the printer hasn't been turned on yet. If so, I'll scan that picture of Leafeon I drew in art class and colored during a thunder storm today.

Oh last Friday, the technical last day of school, someone stole my MP3 player right out of my bag in the art room. And guess what day it was? Friday the 13th. First time I've ever had something bad happen to me on that day. So I went to Toshi's house, and that's when I noticed it was missing. I'm just damn glad when my MP3 got stolen, my DS was with me. If that had been stolen, I would've been even more pissed off at the kids in my school. After we went to the mall and I grabbed a new manga (Pokemon: The Rise of Darkrai had to get it) and a small knife from the oriental shop, Toshi's mom went to Wal-Mart which is where I had gotten my MP3 player that got stolen. I got a new one along with Toshi's mom getting me and her headphones since mine got stolen as well. And wouldn't ya know,the new MP3 doesn't turn on, charge, nothing. I had to go home and left it at their house so they could trade it in for one that worked, which they did. Wonder when I'm gonna get it, it apparently already has music on it. I need to save money for when I'm in Aruba. Possibly buy some gifts for people.

Yeah so, we just got the syllabus for AP art yesterday and it's quite interesting. We have to make a process portfolio which is made up of information of different artists and we can have comments on whether we like them or not. I have to be sure to keep a seperate sketchbook for my AP drawings. We get to do whatever we want, but just not have it a huge sketchbook cuz we don't want to lug around some large book of paper. And trying to get a good composition on something that big? Good luck with that.

Okay something else with that class. We'll have 1 finished piece due every week till the end of each term which is 9 weeks, so that's 9 finished pieces. Luckily that's the only AP class I'm taking so I won't be stressed. But many of my friends know I'm too damned laid back. We get to use any kind of traditional media.

Oh and then there's our concentration which we'll be focusing on the entire year. I believe Mrs. Wood said that the breadth (the focus....um... I can't quite remember what the breadth is...) will be the main part of the concentration. I was thinking of having my concentration focused on not jast my cats, but animals in general. They've had quite the impact on my life and I love animals so much. So yeah, definately animals, and perhaps the environment.

We have to visit museums as a part of the class. That's something that I practically never do. Ah well, gotta do it to do well in that class. But I'll also have to worry about ceramics too....... Dammit I want my Gameboy Advance SP charger back from Tekla. If she doesn't give it to me soon I swear I will go to her house, find her DS and take back my charger. If she wants a DS charger, she should get a DS Lite cuz this shit is annoying me. I asked her at lunch when she could give back my charger cuz I asked for it back, nicely, a few weeks ago and today all she says is "Um, I don't know." It's mine, I want it. She needs to take the stick out of her ass and stop being a bitch.

I have three kitties. One is very friendly, the other is also friendly. The third kitten is just a little scaredy cat that we don't know what we're going to do when they need to be found homes.
