feelign like a freaking fish

gaaaah!. thats all i have to say.......GAHH!
Life is so crazy right now, between trying to make new freinds, being stressed over highschool, suddenly becoming part of the band cult, and being utterly confused about old freinds......i just dont' even know for sure anymore. Thankfully, it seems im not the only one feeling liek this. Perhaps its the curse of first freshman week. Maybe they call usfish for that reason. We've always thought of ourselves as great individuals with strong identities and freinds and such, floating down a wonderful river. Now we're in the ocean full of other fishjust like us, and suddenly our security blankets...our "identities" fall out from underneath us. We cling onto old aquatances and practices, desperatly wishing our juvenile allusions were still with us. all we have for support are other fish , who we're wary of, and are wary of us too. What can we do to stop from falling into the cold depths beneath us? Currently, my only solution is to grin and bear and blog it all. -.-

Expofoam Razzispring

Hola internet chums! I'm back from summer camp with many stories to tell, but I won't be divulging them now because I'm lazy.

I will, however, talk about Harry Potter.

Chapter 3 of my Luna fanfiction is up at last! However, I'm taking a break before starting Chapter 4 and am entering a challenge. These can all be found at www.nevilleandluna.com It rocks, man. You should go there. Anyway, my fic is called The Diary of Luna Lovegood, please review it!

And much sadness, I have finished DH, it's all over now... *sob*

No...It didn't take me three days to write this post. Why do you ask...

Greetings from Alabama, the heart of Dixieland! (gag me) It really isn't as bad as I expected though. In my mind I had pictured a barren, flat, desert-like landscape. Actually, it's quite pretty with rolling hills and bunches of trees, a bit like north carolina (my favorite state, which I will happily be headed to in 4 days time!). Unfortunatly, intellect is spread rather sparcly. I am here to visit mi familia, consisting of my afflicted aunt as well as sister and neice from minnasooota, eh. And let me tellyou, it's a BLAST! (sarcasm). Don't get me wrong, i love to travel and see family, but sitting in a hotel room is not my idea of either. Thank the lord for free Wi-Fi!

My two-year-old nece is one big ball of energy who definitly gets her stubborn "leave me alone" attitude from my dear Grandmama. (I've got it too!) Cami's favorite phrasesare "No" and "Don't do that!" Although she does love her mommy and me, auntie tate.

I'm finally home and shoving in as much time of relaxationa before I ship off to camp at Duke campus on the 8th. Later lovelies!

~~K the auntie

Ordinary Miracle

Okeyday! I haven't posted in a while, I apologize. I've been busy (ish)

I had a dance recital Saturday night and SQUEE! I was practically having a nervy spaz, and actually I did mess up in the opening number. (I missed my cue, so I just sort of hid in the curtains and hoped no one noticed.) But I did a perfect gymnastics dance, and my jazz dance got a standing ovation!!! I've never heard of that happening before. I don't quite believe it, I never saw the audience, but that's what Mutti said... And I won best gymnast! I got a big shiny trophy and everything. I'm so happy!

So I'm going up north for a few days, and apparently so is K. But we're not going to the same place, we're just going to be gone for the same amount of time... Anyhow, I just finished packing, and we have to leave for the airport in a little under an hour now.

So... Ya. My plant seems sort of healthy now, but maybe that's just because I took all the dead flowers away. Hm...

Well I gotta go! Love ya, my internet pallys!

Variousness

Well, the opposum saga continues. Today, in the words of strongbad, I met a possum. I was going to water my garden (yes, at 11 pm. Why do you ask?) and I dropped my can in shock when I spotted a scurrying baby creature in my garden. Yeah....I'll water the plants in the morning.

In further news, it seems we have new neighbors to replace the messed up abusive or divorcive or whatever family that used to live there (they were also quite rude to us). I love meeting new people, especially neighbors and will do a bit of lurking until i spot them. I wonder if they have childers...

Our pool is finally finished and I have been floating and doing laps and becoming all pruny. :-) Tomorrow, I will be collecting cans in the park for a can drive that i organized, but didn't work out very well. Hopefully, I'll get some donations. I do like helping out others!

My freind is being rather troublesome lately- I think the transition to high school is concerning her- perhaps confusing. Isn't it doing that to us all? For now, no worries. Just the sound of music, degrassi, summer sun, and soon to be Alabama! Visiting there isn't my faveorite thing....or even in the top 100...but I'll see my little neice camille, so It's all good.

Good wishes and lotsa summer!~~K

Un-Awesome Opossum

An awful thing happened today. Twice. I removed the cover on one of the pool filters to discover what I first thought was a fish- then a hairpiece- then Chelsea set me straight. It was a baby opossum! And after mom fished it out, she informed me that the same thing had happened this morning. Two little creature siblings had perished in my family pool. As I gazed at the poor pink opossum face, eyes forever closed and matching tail completing the fetal position in quiet defeat, I considered what a horrible death he or she must have died, slowly drowning with no reason to live after its other family member was gone. This nearly brought me to tears. I decided to have a small memorial, if I could do nothing else. I said a few words over the trash can holding opossum and mourned. It's awful to die alone in the world, but if you don't die alone, you always leave someone else behind, forever mourning and remembering. I would be there for this poor opossum. He would not be alone.

~~K the mourner of small animals...and large ones....and people....

And One More Thing!

Talk about a sucky day to end all sucky days. I awoke after only a few hours of sleep to a blinding light being turned on by mi madre. Last night, I got an IM from who I assumed to be mike mikerson and was quite pleased that he too kthe trouble to find my screenname. However, a quick convo with him (in which he gave single word awners- practically, anyway) I found out that it wasn't him who AIMed me last night, and therefore it was probably my freind's irritating brother harrasing me. FUN- not. An hour later, still in a sleepy stupor (zzzzzzzzzzzzz....HUH- What!) Mom dragged me out with her to the doctor's, on the way t whic hwe ran tons of errands. Accomanying my mom to the doctor's may nto seem so bad, but you have to realize that I'm a germaphobe, OCD, and have a phobia of needles. Just a whiff of stale, sick-people air makes me want to have a nervy spaz. I can't even consider going to my own doctor's without becoming a wreck. Did i meaention that my hair looks like I went through a car wash- under a car? When we FINALLY got home, after 4 hours of errnds and an angry customer attck aimed at he doctor, I got on the compy to check my email. Guess what! My freind informed me that mikey now has a girlfreind- a fabby topper to my fabby day. If any boy likes me, or ever has for that matter, I'll br bowled over with shock. Ack. It's taken my an hour to type this post, because i keep getting called out of my room to do chores. SHUT UP phone!!! My day's outcome is rather ironic, based on my horoscope. And I quote-

"This is a terrific day for you, dear Aquarius, and you will find that there is a great deal of power at your disposal."

HAHA~~~K

Oatmeal vs. Meatball Sandwich

Ah, the joys of obsession...

K and I are new addicts to Degrassi: The Next Generation. I felt it meritted a post. I mean, it's a teen soap opera. How awesome is that?!

My plant, I think, is doing better. All the flowers died but I've got some healthy leaves, so that's good, right?

K's pool is finished! SQUEE! We can swim again! At last, I won't be immobilized at home, sitting on my couch and blogging to no one.

I spent $105 on books the other day. My bookshelf is getting fuller ;D

What else is there to report? Oh! My gymnastics performance is in less than a week. -shiver-

Tootless!
