Yeah, so I haven't updated in... well, since school started. Everything's still cool, and I get to back to my da's house tonight!

I've been having a pretty good weekend. Friday was a fairly good day, and after school Jaime was supposed to bring me home, but there was a... misunderstanding and she left without me. Which ended up being just fine, because then T gave Nabil and I a little soccer ball (it was a number one, which is the smallest size they make apparently) and we played with it outside for a while. Eventually Chris joined us and then after a while he left for his game. So Nabil went to go practice with the guys who weren't playing and I got to practice with them, and it was uber fun. We played for like, two hours and then Rajal brought me home.

A couple hours later people started showing up for a bonfire my mum decided to have randomly and it was awesome. Chris and Nabil showed up first and Chris asked for a pair of shorts to wear so I gave him a pair of zip-off pants I've had since about fourth grade and he actually fit in them... kind of. They were kind of tight, but meh, we got to make fun of him for wearing girl's pants.

Yep, we played soccer for a long while and we hung out inside and outside, and Tom played his guitar for us. Eventually all the guys (Rouhsy showed up later with Alex, Kenzie and Jenny) left and Alex, Kenzie and Jenny and myself all went into the bunkhouse. At one point we fell asleep and we were woken up at 10:30 by DJ calling to tell us he's going to Disney World next Saturday. We got up and went inside and we all showered and went to Chris and Nabil's soccer game. They won apparently four to nothing. They didn't even get a real shot on goal, and it was pathetic.

Anyway, I'm sure you're all thrilled to hear about soccer, but meh. Becky Zierke's mad at me because she said something about Nicci and I told Nicci. But the thing is, when Nicci says stuff about her, I tell her, so it's not very fair that she's angry at me. I just wish she wasn't upset with me. So now she won't drive me to school. I don't know, that's not the part that bothers me, because if I explained the whole situation Becky's anger is kind of unjustified, and it makes me really sad that she's upset with me for something that isn't completely my fault. I hope I can fix it, I mean, I don't need her to drive me to school, I can survive without that, I just don't want her to be angry with me.

Well, I have homework I probably should be doing, so I'll go off and do that.

Meh.

Everyone else did it, so hey, I thought I would too. Last entry of the summer...

It's fine with me. I'm just not looking forward to the stress and homework and such. Otherwise, it's just school, same every year, just new teachers.

So today I went shopping with da and Hannah, nothing interesting there. Then I went to Chris's again, like I do every day. Not really, but pretty close. Uncle Mike came for supper, Chris and I played soccer, we talked to Roushy, I went home. I cleaned my room, and now I'm here, just updating, wasting away my sleep time. I guess I should go to sleep, but I don't really want to. Meh.

I'm going, I'm going. So, everyone, most of whom are sleeping, have a lovely last few hours of summer, sleeping, and I shall see most of you tomorrow... at school...

Bye all!

Anyway, I'm at Chris's house, Chris is sleeping, and I'm not quite sure where everybody else is. We primed the addition earlier and it took me forever to get it all off. And Chris is in a pissy mood, which sucks. But meh, he does that sometimes.

So I'm basically filling time... I already took a nap, so I think I may just hang out with the boys for a while.

Oh, last night was cool. I got to go to Alex and Kenzie's party for two whole hours! And I was happy. So then mum picked me up and her and Hannah and myself went to Must Love Dogs, that romantic comedy movie thing.

"Well these people seem happy."
"They have a condom."
"You know what Michael and I used for a condom once?"
"I don't care."
"Saran-wrap."
"Did it work?"
"Mave was born nine months and one day later."

Yeah, Hannah looked horrified, but entertained. Anyway, I'm going to go... I don't know, do something.

Talk to you later, loves!

Amina is driving me crazy! Her and Jamila are over (they're Nabil's little sisters) and so Mina is digging through stuff in my room, and it's really obnoxious. I also work in like two hours. I should probably shower and eat before I leave. Whatever.

Now Nicci's planning on quitting (meaning no longer working at Marketplace) for no real reason. She just doesn't like working. She says it's because the place makes her sick, but I'm allergic to something there, she just doesn't like work! I mean, I understand her not wanting to work thing, but she needs to learn responsibility and good work ethic... or something like that. Her mom shouldn't just let her quit, that teaches her nothing. I don't know, I think it's just dumb.

I just left and helped Hannah and the other ones set up their Lemon-aid for Katrina-aid stand. It was sad, because they'll probably get rained on. Meh.

Anyway, off to shower I go.

I'm extremely bored, so I think I'll update. I'm kind of depressed, and I don't really know why. Maybe because of tomorrow. I was supposed to go to Alex and Kenzie's party, but mum won't let me, so I have to stay home and sit here while she has Nabil's family over. Without Nabby, so I really have no one to talk to. Chris's family, along with Chris, was invited, but they declined, and so did Chris. I really wanted him to come, so I'm kind of sad about that. Not angry or annoyed, just sad. I knew he was going to go to A and K's thing instead, but I wanted him to, for some reason, come here. But whatever. So if any of you want to show up at about 7:00, I'd love you forever. And I'd love you even more if I already love you.

So work was boring today, I mean, I enjoyed myself, like usual, but I was bored. And John cut my hours again, and I wish he hadn't. The whole time I wanted to be at the meet too. But I did get paid, that's always a plus.

I'm just tired and sad, and I'm wasting time to put off tomorrow. Well, I'll waste time with sleep. Talk to all you people later.

1. Go here.
2. Pass it on.

Okay, so last night I smashed my finger in the car door and so it's extremely hard to type effectively. So. This may be my last entry until I regain the use of two of my fingers. That took me way too long to type.

Anyway, I hate work!!! Okay, I actually just hate the fact that I can't go to my meet today because no one can work for me tonight. Jerks! I tried way freaking hard too. I called everyone on the list and no one could work. It sucked!

Anyway, this is getting painful, so I'm going to go wallow in... well, not self-pity, just annoyance at my lovely place of employment. Off I go to re-tape my finger! Ah, the gross-ness!

Leeta

P.S. Good luck all you awesome CC peoples. Oh wait... that's like, two of you. Well, good luck!

Yeah, so yesterday was awesome. Very much so. For the full details, just read Emily's LJ, I am way too lazy to type the whole thing. Other than I learned that Soren is obesessed with his cold cut combo, and that I didn't like my first race. And that Emily is pretty good at trying to motivate me while she's running like crazy. Yep, she rocks. So does that girl from Cathedral (some school...) who kept me going every time I slowed down or almost threw up. She was cool, and I liked her, and I wish I had had a chance to thank her for being so awesome.

Today, CC sucked. I mean, I obviously didn't want to run much, and I always complain about the running, but when you're told to stop running, you'd much rather be running. Meh, I'm going to stretch my hamstring (it hurts uber bad, but it'll be fine soon enough) and it'll be better and I run even better in Cambridge on Friday!

Anyway, I need to shower soon, I have work soon-ish, and I'd really like to be clean, you know, that's always a plus. And I *actually* get paid on Friday! Finally, I'll have a real income.

Today, I was cold, so I wanted to lay out in the sun and finish my mum's People magazine. Well, I went to go find my bathing suit and I don't have it here! So I found a bra and a pair of underwear that match really well, and unless you looked really closely, it looked like a bathing suit. Albeit, I kind of skimpy bikini-esque one, but hey, I was just on my deck, and Hannah was the only one home!

Oh, if anyone can bring me from CC to my da's house or Chris's house that would be very much appreciated. And if there's someone who could bring me from school to Southwest by 4:30 (sometime after 3:30) I would love them forever too. So yeah, I have yet to figure that part out.

So talk to all you awesome folks later, I'm going to go get clean!

I feel prompted to update, but I have absolutely nothing to talk about. I mean, last night I called Emily and asked to spend the night and that's what I did. We walked to Chris's house at one point to give him back his Newsweek, and Emily's mom met us on the way back. We say she was worried about us, but she denied it. Then we basically talked to people and LJ-ed the rest of the night. We went to bed at a decent time too, seeing as we have a meet and all today. Wish us luck by the way!

Oh, I can tell you about yesterday! So I had to get up uber early and go to a dentist appointmet in White Bear at 7:40. We spent less than a half an hour there, they just brushed my teeth and told me that I was good. That's it. Not that I mind entirely, I hate the dentist's office, but it still seemed kind of unprofessional. Well then my mum tells me that she just scheduled three massages at Spa Bella Casa (a really big, really fancy hoity-toity, high-end spa in Edina) and that I'd have to miss CC to go. Well, I wanted to go, but yesterday was the whole pre-race thing, and I didn't want to miss that. But she said I had to, and I was like, whatever. So we went up to the spa place and it looked huge and fancy. We went in and it was! So we go into the lounge/locker room, change into our one-size-fits-all robes and slippers. And amazingly enough, they both fit me! I loved that robe... anyway. So then we hung out in the lounge for a little while, eating pretzels (you know, pretzels seem like a not very high-end snack, but apparently the rich people respect pretzels too). Hannah's appointment was later than mum and mine so she had to wait there longer. So I left and my lady had me take my robe off and lay on the bed thing (I was covered with a blanket for the most part, I'm not that immodest) and I got my massage! It was so uber nice, I mean, she was really good at it, and it lasted, like, an hour. So it was really long and really nice. When she was done I went back to the lounge/locker room and waited for my mum and my sister. While I was doing all that waiting I took advantage of the complimentary steam room and whirlpool. It was so nice, I loved it. So when we were all done we showered in their nice showers, and used all their fancy products to make our hair acceptable. When we were paying (by the way, we didn't actually pay for it ourselves, we had three $100 gift certificates for the place) we found out that we had about forty some dollars left, so we bought some fancy hair stuff, and mum and Hannah bought other stuffs.

So yeah, that was one rocking good spa treatment. After that we went to lunch at Chili's, and then we went shoe shopping, and lastly, I went to my session with that woman and my mum... and Hannah. But I talked to the lady alone for almost the entire time, but at the end the lady brought Hannah and mum in there so Hannah and I could ask about going to Linwood for church/ After we did that, when we left, mum said, "I wish you would have told me you were going to do that." Which is dumb, because that would have partially defeated the purpose of talking to the lady alone. Meh, my mum's kind of dumb sometimes.

Anyway, that's about all, I'm sitting here, waiting for Emily to get out of the shower, hey look, she just did, and she looks uber sexy in her CC uniform. Yep, so I'll be posting after the meet, wish us luck!

My bus picks me up at my mum's house (Hell) at 7:16 in the morning! That's fifteen minutes later than last year! And only forty-five minutes before school starts, that rocks!!!

"He wasn't as cute as I hoped he would be if I had to hug him when I was hot and sweaty." ~Nicci, commenting on a guy at the Renaissance Festival, originally being a perfectly innocent comment.

Anyway, I have more nothing to post about! Friday was cool, or at least the evening was. Chris came over, we hung out and then we watched all of our nerdy sci-fi channel shows. Then I worked Saturday and it was uber boring, like always. This morning I went to church at Linwood and then hung out at Chris's until my da called and told me to come home. I came home and dreaded going to mum's all afternoon.

Oh, dilemma. So I'm going to start going to the youth group thing at Linwood and my sister wants to go through confirmation at Linwood. So I have no idea how we're supposed to tell my mother that. She doesn't want us going up there, and I'm not sure why (other than the driving thing...). Yep, that's about it.

Tomorrow I have to go to that counselor person again, so I think I'm going to ask to talk to her alone and tell her all the *real* stuff about my mum and see what happens. Hopefully I can convince her that the best thing is for me to get away from my mum for a while. Actually getting away from my parents altogether would be great, just for the remainder of the week, but I don't think I have that option. Meh.

Right, so I'm done, I want sleep, so I think I'll post the results of our lovely "session" tomorrow. Talk to all you cool cats later!
