God

That was a wee bit mean.

But at least I got a suntan, so thanks.

okay God

I know it was wrong. And I shouldn't have done it.

But seriously? A week long period? What's that gonna solve?

But okay, I know, you work in mysterious ways.

So I'm going to ask you really, really nicely, to pretty pretty pretty please make this stop before I go to Whitewater tomorrow. Because that would be very very nice of you. And we all know what a nice guy you are. This could be a serious blot on your record, Mr. Man.

Sorry, a little disrespectful. That's my problem, I joke when I should be serious. Like now.

Okay, so again, God, Our Father Who Art In Heaven, Lord...please, make this go away, because I have been looking forward to this since the beginning of summer (even though I've complained about it to various people...I don't know why, that's just my way. And plus, it will be a little lame, having to watch my 8-year old cousin the entire time. But I'm more than willing to put up with that, as you should well know).


I've said my piece.


Thank you,

Hillary M.

Today was fun...as fun as it could be, I suppose. Went back to WHS to finish up my damn volunteer hours (BOO-YAH!) with Kelsie and Gracie. Laura showed up some time in there and we got to hang out. We really didn't do much at all. Mostly sat around and waited for them to give us stuff to do while we played card games or whatever. And this time they fed us Sonic's, and got us chili pies, tater tots, and chocolate milkshakes. It was great. And after that...we pretty much talked. It was very nice.

Then me and Gracie left, and since when Kelsie had left earlier she had forgotten something, we drove by her house where we saw her cute little brothers. Adorable. Until Adam started screaming.

It was just...nice, to hang out with these people probably all together for the last time until after school starts back. Ugh.

And my dad won't let me rearrange my room until after I've done my summer work. And I have to rearrange my room before school starts or I'm going to fail. So...agh.

2 more hours

Ugh. I freaking hate busy work. And that's all they give you when you show up to school to "volunteer." You put pamphlets together. Ew.

Thankfully, I've only got two more hours more to volunteer. *Woot!*

Today was fun though. I got to hang out with friends and see the new school. And it was nice. Although I really don't think an elevator is necessary. Hmm.

Then me and Dad took Chance swimming (and I freaking got Swimmer's Ear the first time I went under because Chance pushed me in, loserface), so now my ears hurt.

I've reasoned that it's my parents fault that I haven't done my summer work yet. They've always left it up to me to get my work done. Never have they asked if I've done all of my homework (unless I use it as an excuse to not do something, which doesn't count anyway). And even if they did decide to punish me in some way, they wouldn't enforce it, because they're lazy like that. They know the biggest punishment would be to me, because I'd mess up my GPA, and they're okay with that.

Ew.

More later.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

was freaking awesome. I loved it. I've read the end a billion times already, starting from Snape's chapter. I LOVED it. I just snuck into Chance's room to read the last little bit, because it is so spectacular. If JK makes another book, I want her to explain los padres de Harry's childhood, because that little taste just made me want more.

And...I totally knew it. All these big mysteries? I had them. Before I read them in Kelsie's book, I had them. Which, on one hand, was totally satisfying, but on the other, kinda made everything anticlimactic. But still...wow.

Ah. If you've finished it, you have GOT to tell me, because I need to talk to someone (other than you, K, because we talked for an hour!)! So get to it, yous lazybones.

I should call Laura tomorrow...

magic marker

Today was interesting. It actually started yesterday, Chris's birthday, when he took me to see Transformers (which was awesome). He started talking to his mom, which swung me an invitation to go see them today when Chris was out there. So that was pretty cool. Right after Chris called this morning and said he was on his way to pick me up, Kelsie called and asked if I would like to spend the night tonight and get HP7, which I had to decline, since I would be in Newnan probably.

So me and Chris drove up to Peachtree City, an hour outside of Newnan, and ate pizza with le grandmother, then drove to Newnan and hung out with his mom, stepdad, Kirstie, Joe, Savannah, and William. It was pretty fun. We swam and watched Top Model and ate cubed steak. Then at about 10, me and Chris left for home. Except, instead of going the backways that take about 2 hours to get home by, he took the expressway and drove like a demon, so I got home at 11. Since I was indeed home in time to go to Kelsie's and the book thing, I bribed Joey into taking me to her house, then her dad took us three to Kroger to get HP7 (except I didn't get it, since we'd already planned on Chris getting it, reading it by tomorrow afternoon, and passing it on to me). And while we were there, Kelsie kinda forgot about the sleepover part she mentioned earlier. She was pretty much counting on staying up and reading HP. So I asked Mr. D to take me home so his daughter wouldn't murder me in the course of the night.

And earlier, when I was at Kirstie's, I got the two books back that I loaned her years ago that she always forgot to bring back. So I read Jinx, waiting to get online and knowing that it was a fairly short book, being written in prose.

And I've pretty much snapped at Joey, Chance, and my mother because I've been up for waaaay too long and in a car for most of that time. I should apologize, but...sleep just sounds so much better.

Until then, I am NOT getting back online until I've read HP7. No spoilers from evil beings on Myspace, Yahoo, Blogger, or IMDb, the only websites I frequent.

Adios, muchachos.

pain

Yesterday me, G, and K volunteered at the school, putting together the emergency plans and bags. We had to bend out heads a lot and there was a lot of moving just the arms. So today I woke up with my neck cramped and my arm killing me. Agh.

Last night I swore to myself that today I would do my reading work. I would read the book, do the work that goes with it, and finish my other book's work. And I sat down. And I opened the book. And it took me an hour and a half to read the first two chapters and do the assignment. So since that didn't work, I decided to just read straight on through and do my work later, even though she advised against it. Something is better than nothing anyway, so whatever. So I layed down and tried to read....until I fell asleep. Until 3:30. So I gave up and hung out with my family, who were all home since my mom had a Dr.'s appt. Fun. Then I made ChefBoyardee pizza and burnt the crust because I'm a horrible cook as it turns out. I used to think I'd love to be a chef, but past events have led me to believe that that would just not be a good idea.

And now I'm trying to convince Joey to take me with him to see Chris's house, since it's his birthday tomorrow and he's going to bring Chris the cheesecake ANYWAY. I mean, HELLO? Who holds a cheesecake better than me? Nobody, that's who. And Chris is saying that if he's in town, he'll pick up HP7 as long as he gets to read it first, which I wouldn't mind since he reads pretty fast. So yeah.

That's about it. Here's hoping that tomorrow's reading quest is more successful than today's.
