| So I haven't posted in this for a while. At one point I couldn't get it to work, but aside from whatever I was going to write about that time (I can't remember), nothing interesting ever happens.
Nothing interesting has happened yet, but I'm still waiting.
I'm starting to get my summer all booked and scheduled, which is fun and no fun at the same time. I figure that since I'm stuck going on vacation with my grandparents (believe me, I tried to get out of it), I might as well enjoy it. Then we've got the Ren Faire, going to my dad's, and visiting my cousin to take up the rest of the time. Not that I don't want to do all of that stuff, but it would be nice not to have another summer like last year.
School isn't over yet, though, and I'm falling behind with my homework. I'm getting lazy like I was last year. Definitely not good. I am doing better in French, though. Too bad it won't get me anywhere. That's right, in case you haven't heard (I know you have because I probably told you myself), they're not planning on having a 3/4 French next year. And just when I was starting to enjoy the class itself, too. We're finally getting to the point where I can actually use my French. Blech.
Well, I finally got a bank account and I was going to get a cell phone, but (as multiple people were so kind as to point out to me) no one would call me anyway, and I wouldn't use it often enough to make it worthwhile. What a self esteem boost, I know. But it's true. Maybe I'll get one eventually, but it won't do me much good this summer, will it? Until then I'll find something better to do with my money.
Lately I've been vaguely and passively obsessed with the 18th century--that's 18th century America, England, as well as Russia. I've also been downloading a lot of the songs my dad used to sing to me when I was little, like John Prine and Jimmy Buffet. Pretty awesome. | | |

In other news, it's raining.

| Okay, well, update on the Faire goings-on: we've got Christine. I guess they wouldn't let her sign up so late or something. So we have to be real nice to her this year so she'll want to play with us next time. We still need more people. My mom might be able to handle guitar, and I can do some recorder to fill in for her. Buuut...still not enough. We'll see how desperate we get. Then I'll start taking names for tambourine-beaters and sit-and-look-pretty-ers.
I'm doing that whole "rush on Sunday night to finish the homework that you thought would only take 10 minutes" thing.
I know I already said this, but my dad is coming down for Ed's graduation. That's cool.
I've been playing the Genesis more lately, but it's really bugging me. I mean... stuff. Blah.

| I guess... I got my learner's permit. I also got a recorder for the Ren Faire. I'm learning that, now. It's pretty fun. The Faire this year will hopefully be better than last year. We're way more organized already, and we've hardly done anything.
Except I don't know if we're going to have enough people. We've got Jacki this year, maybe. No Ben. Clarinda is on her own. So is Christine. We have Gwen for some of the time, but probably not Bill. Nils, hopefully. Me, my mom, and Ed, of course. See, we have to have four people at the site at all times. Even if me n' my family never took any breaks, it still wouldn't be enough. We really need a guitarist. So if you know anyone who plays acoustic guitar and would be willing to sit for eleven hours straight for three days playing, let me know. They also need to be willing to wear a silly costume.
My mom will probably start playing more guitar if she can, and we might have Connor for a little while...he plays some guitar. What's really hurting us is the loss of Ben and Christine. They were pretty cool. Ben can't come at all, and Christine is probably mad because we were late paying her.
Anyhoo. I'm excited, obviously. It's only April, but I want to be reallly organized this year. If my mom isn't going to do it, I will. The Faire is under new management and we really need to make a good impression.
That's basically the only thing that's been on my mind lately. This year I'm going to get my hair braided, which is the main reason that I've been growing my hair out since I was eight. Then I think I might cut it short. I mean, I know I'll miss my long hair a lot, but I think short hair would be fun for a while. :/ We'll see how I feel after the Faire.

| So today I went to Omaha with my family. We took a drive past the house I used to live in with my dad. Or...the house my dad used to live in and we visited quite often. That fits better. I think I want to buy that house someday. When I think back on that area in my childhood I remember bad things, but when I was there all I could think about was the fun I had with my sister. :D So neat. We went to see Edison, the school that I never went to but spent most of my summers at. Again, so neat. We ate at Razzie's Deli and Bernie's Pizza... Bernie was still there and came to say hi. My dad worked there when he was a teenager. It was like, his second job or something. Bernie remembered him. So neat! Drove by my grandma's house, my friend's house, blah blah blah, all these places and things that mean something to me but nothing to anyone else. The only reason it's neat is because I haven't seen any of it for 4-5 years, and a lot has changed in that time.
Saw V for Vendetta... Pretty awesome. I'll probably buy it. Oh, and we went to Family Fun Center. I realized that I really am inferior as one of the female species. Apparently I'm not allowed to play games or something, 'cause everyone was giving me weird looks. At first I thought maybe I had something on my face or my back or my pants or something, but nope. Just little ol' me. I mean, I really doubt that's what they were thinking, but it made me think about it.
Bleh bleh, blah blah... Break's almost over. One more day. And I'm gonna pack it full of all the fun it can hold!! Or try, at least.
