SCHOOL FIPSAF

Though I was semi-excited for Get Connected Day, I have now begun to dread the beginning. Though I have several people on my team, and I'm pretty sure (though I don't know about ER cause she won't tell me the specifics...) I have at least one person in 95% of my classes. That was a guesstimation, but I'm actually somewhat happy. Weird, huh?
I feel Becca's pain, though. I've been through that. Elementary, 6th, and 8th. But you'll meet new people. Hopefully. I sorta did. Not in 8th, but. . .
Anyway, I am leaving for Maine on Saturday to drop my sister and brother off at their colleges. Cept my brother's visiting his girlfriend, so we actually won't be dropping him off at college. Just the airport.
And I found out that I'm going to be going to Maine three times in nine months. I don't know if I should be excited or not yet. . .

Hot Cookie!

Well, as you probably know from Rebecca, yesterday I returned from my stay in good ol' Iowa. It was rather uneventful, except for some things. For example, on Thursday, Rebecca and I were left in charge of three kids. One, a rambunctious and loud and annoying, but cute, three-year-old. Two, a suck-up, but really sweet, eight-year-old. Three, an annoying and somewhat-responsible eleven-year-old who thinks she's on top of the world.

It was quite the experience.

For example, when asked about how he felt about John McCain, he promptly replied, "I don't like John McCain." And when asked about Norm Coleman, he responded with bathroom noises. But the best one was when he said what he thought about Barack Obama. "Hot cookie!" he cried. Me and Rebecca cracked up because he was being completely serious, though he was holding a cold cookie in his hand.
Also, he was giving out words of wisdom.

• "If you want something to be broken, just leave it broken all the day long." (In response to Hannah's broken brush that she was throwing a tantrum about.)
• "If you want to be over there, go." (In response to Hannah telling him to start over there for the dance they were making.)
• "If you don't want to read with people, don't tell them." (I don't know what this one's about.)

But it was fun/stressful/got paid really well. Thanks Becca!

And then Saturday night, I was over for dinner at my other grandparents' house along with two aunts and uncles and a cousin with her husband.
Now. Picture this. I'm sitting at a table with my cousin and her husband, Chad, with Nathan there as well. And Chad knows about this new girlfriend of Nathan's, and he promptly asked, "Is she a good kisser?"

He said yes.
Oh. My. God.

And if it couldn't get worse, my grandpa thought that the people on the island (where Nathan worked for a bit. Small island. Uninhabited. Science stuff.) slept in tents. And he was worried about him and Lisa (his girlfriend) sharing tents.

Ohmu!!

And it still gets worse. Nathan is going out to see her at her college, and when he mentioned that, Chad asked where he was staying. And Nathan said a couch in her room. And Chad told him to be sure not to do anything. Especially with the thin walls.

Ohmu!!

But that's the most of my adventures. Except that we saw a missile on the road. Strapped to the top of a truck. With the US on the side of it. Scary? I think so!

Good day!

swimming with muskies

So yesterday was probably the best day I've had in the longest time. One of my bestest friends was in town yesterday and I got to see her! Her family and friends and such went to Shady Oak Beach and it was freaking auksome.
I went with one of my friends (Claire) at about one and MaKinnah (the friend that moved away) was there soon after. It was really sunny, and even though I put on sunscreen twice, my face and shoulders got burned. Not too bad, but they're just a tad sore.
Anyway, Claire, MaKinnah, and I (and some others. Danielle, whom Maggie knows) went into the lake and about twenty feet out, there's this gargantuan dock. It's like six feet out of the water, and then on top of it, there's another platform that's probably, like, seven or eight feet from the dock. There's also a diving board, but you can also jump off random places on the dock. But I liked the high platform the best. When you jump off, it feels like you're going in slow motion. It's pretty darn cool.
So we fooled around for awhile, playing this one game where you move forward in increments while sinking so you can touch the bottom. That was fun, but one time, MaKinnah jumped on me and I sank. And got water up my nose. eesh.
We also had seaweed fights cause, apparently, a lot of the people there are freaked out about seaweed. So I tossed a lot into my friends' hair and the dunked me.
At about 3:00, a lot of MaKinnah's friends left, so it was just me, Claire, and her. So we swam over to the little kid dock which had a ton of fish living under it. Kinnah has, like, fish phobia, or something, so we dared her to stick her legs under the dock, and I swam to the other side and grabbed them from underneath. And Claire told her it was a muskie and she got freaked out and ran out of the water. Screaming. It was hilarious. So then we told her that we were going to go swimming with muskies, and she refused to come back in. :DD
After an hour or so, Claire and I convinced her to come back into the water, and we got attacked by her little brother and his friends. They tried to dunk us, but failed miserably. So once we got rid of them (not permanently, don't worry) we swam out to the furthest buoy, which is, apparently, against the rules, and we got in trouble. Dunno why. The lifeguard guy probably thought we were going to drown. Sigh.
But I had a lot of fun. I miss her already. But she might move back in a couple of years, so she might be able to graduate with us. Which would be totally auksome.
And tomorrow's my birthday!! Woo!!
Good Day!!

weird

Okay. Last night I had the weirdest dream last night. it was crazy and random and. . . whoa. okay. here's what happened.

I was going to valley view and Catherine drove me there through this, like, driving school course. There were lots of people she knew and Micheal and Will were there. but then they disappeared and I got out of the car and went inside. I was following my LRT teacher, and then I saw Rebecca and followed her outside. We started to talk.
Rebecca said "Merry Christmas, Elizabeth."
And I was like "wtf?"
And then Lucy and Tyler and Sophia and ER and Maggie and Emily were there and it was still Christmas (in the summer. it was weird) and Lucy was handing out these Christmas cards. cept I didn't get one. Then we got on this bus thing and went to this weird building and I had to wash my hands like thirty times and my LRT teacher and my Spanish teacher were there. And my old math teacher was there. Along with my 6th grade science teacher. And I was talking to Tyler about math and the math teacher was all like "lots of math=wads of cash!!"
So yea. It was weird.
And I have also found out that, until now, I've been spelling "weird" wrong for, like, forever. I've been enlightened. Maybe that was the purpose of my dream. To teach me how to spell weird.
Anyway, I'm done. Good Day!
