Strange Days, indeed

Wow, looking back on my summer, it's been rather interesting.
In the beginning there were many grad parties to attend, and my grandparents were visting, so my schedule looked rather full. Then the usual void of the summer came... not much done, not much seen... Candice and I were some of the only ones I knew who were not out of town or working, so all we had were each other... Yuck! ;) We tried to make a little list of things to do before the end of summer, most of which haven't been accomplished yet... Oh well, there's still time! To the batmobile!!!
We did go to leavenworth in the middle of July. First time planning a trip and taking it by myself, with no relatives involved. It's a neat little town, but I think from now on I'll just make it a one-day thing. If you don't have alot of money, there's not much for you to do either. So it was basically walk, shop, and eat for me. But it was interesting being in a different landscape, although it was the same state... I'm not used to being literally surrounded by mountains. Plus Candice and I had some interesting times (To her: Remember the trail? The deer? Those guys? Our little room? The wasps? Sausages? Fudge? You and your camera? Good times...).
More of a void... sometimes things happened. I was glad one day to hang with Sonja, and we had the time of our lives watching Dirty Dancing (The line that stuck withe me the most is "I carried a watermelon!" Maybe it's because I love watermelon beyond many things?) and just chillin', then Michelle came back and a group of us got together had a nice time at Red Robin's, and for a few of us, a nice time afterwards. Some of us would have late night chatrooms... those got interesting. Sarah came back and we had some times together, Danielle had a birthday party, and the four of us (Sonja, Aleeza, Candice, and yours truely) who decided not to join her in the strip club had a FABULOUS time, right girls?! Then... Then, I was set up on a blind date for the first time in my life. Not bad at all! Thanks to Sonja on that one. Then I attended a Girl Scout ceremony for Sarah, then attended a party where I would be seeing Sarah and Aleeza for the last time in a long time... (I miss them real bad!!!) Then I hung out with my blind date (hereafter known as Tyler) again, and again... Then I saw Luan and his little brother for the first time in a while courtesy of Michelle, then saw Tyler again and met his friend Kevin... Then saw Tyler again, and saw him again... I shall leave out details of those incidents for confidentiality reasons. I'll tell you in person if I feel you should know (and this applies for most of you reading this anyway). But man, on that last incident... I think these last 3 weeks have been the most interesting of my summer, thanks to relations with him. *Sigh*... Nobody told me there'd be days like these... The latest thing I did was hang with Kevin yesterday. He's a very cool guy! So I hope for my remaning days here I don't have another eventless day. Carpe diem!!!
I go away to college in less than 2 weeks. I've been a rather flip-flop on my feelings of going there... At first unsure of whether I'd be accepted, then sad that I'd be leaving everyone, then looking forward go because I was feeling rather detatched from everyone, then a bittersweet feeling of happy to go but sad to leave friends, then boredom saying "Can't I just go NOW?!" And I thought nothing else would change... then along comes August 27th, last friday of the month. Suddenly all these things are happening, all these new things, sometimes they happened too fast... And in conclusion, I'm happy to start a new life and gain some new experiences, I'm scared of the changes that are coming so rapidly, and sad that with all this new stuff happening, it may have to end as quickly as it came. But not necessarily... one of my resolutions is to not let these relationships die... or die fast anyway. I hope college doesn't kill me...
So until next time... "Shall we go then, you and I, when the evening is spread out against the sky..."
