It's finally summer! For the past week I've been sitting on my Granny's couch reading and napping to my little heart's content. I think I'm still catching up on all the sleep I've lost this past year. It can get a little boring but no worries. I have a packed schedule starting Monday. I leave for the beach on Monday. I slightly hate the beach, but I also slightly love it. Hopefully it won't be too humid because humidity just makes me want to sit in an air-conditioned room. Or cry. Whichever is available. Then I leave the following Monday to be a camp counselor at kids camp. I'm a little nervous about this seeing as I am horrible with children, but hopefully I'll learn some patience or something good like that. Haha. I hope I don't tell those poor innocent children something terrible that will scar them for the rest of their lives.
After I get back from that trip, my family and I are heading to Orlando! We're going to chill at Disney World, Sea World, Space coast, the beach, and hopefully some other fun places. Everyone is half looking forward to it and half-dreading it. However, I have decided that even if we are exhausted and stressed and only get to ride the dumb rides and the beach is closed because a whale decided to park itself on the shore, we are going to trick ourselves into thinking we are having the time of our lives. I'm not entirely sure how this will be accomplished, but I'll let you know how it goes. Also, we are total WDW newbies (my dad taught me that little acronym; he's been reading lots of message boards in preparation for our trip) so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
As you may know, yesterday was Memorial Day. It was the loneliest day I think I have ever had. My father agreed with me that we really need to find some friends or something. We are so pathetic. I make for a terrible only child. My mom has this awful eye infection so she's kind of been sitting around all miserable-like. On the bright side (although it does show the extent of my loneliness and it makes for a terrible pun), I made a firefly friend. I didn't exactly name him, but he was my swinging buddy. Also, I convinced my father to grow a goatee/soul patch. It looks nice so far. I did that because he loves chopping down trees and I wanted him to have that whole lumberjack look going for him. I'm pretty happy about his new hobby A) because fallen trees are really cool and B) he's saving some of the big chunks for me to carve and/or paint.
I need to update you all on my movie life. For the past few years, I've been disappointed in pretty much every movie I've seen. I always think I want to see some goofy chick flick, but I'm always let down. I talked to my sister about this and she suggested that I view some other genres of films because perhaps chick flicks are not my cup of tea. I took her expert advice, and I have to say, I think she was right. I watched 2012 which was absolutely ridiculous. It was super cheesy and the world didn't even end. It still wasn't too bad though. I also watched Sherlock Holmes. That one was really good. Suspenseful. I finally saw The Lightning Thief. I'd heard it wasn't good so I didn't expect too much from it. Otherwise I would've been disappointed. It wasn't horrible by any means, but they really did leave out some crucial parts. I would have been lost if I hadn't read the book. Also, what is up with Grover? He was a total perv. They tried way too hard to make him fit the typical black-guy-in-movie stereotype. He was so not like that in the book.
I don't know if I've ever mentioned this before, but Underoath is my absolute favorite band. Ever. Of all time. I've been in love with them for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately, their drummer departed and now he's focusing on his little side band. His side band is not terrible by any means, but man, Underoath is just perfect and they owe a lot of that perfection to Aaron (the drummer). At least I think they do. I'm nervous about the record they're recording. It just makes me sad. I've been listening to a lot of Deas Vail, The Devil Wears Prada, and Mayday Parade lately. My taste in music is so not impressive, haha.
Well, thanks for reading!
Much Love,
