Jess and

taraisagoddess came over today!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They said they'd be over at 10ish. I wke at 9:30 and figured they'd be here sometime by 11. They came at 10ish! I was shocked! I wasn't even completely ready yet!!!! :P

We went out and cleaned off the canoe. And got all dirty and wet. Dad helped us get the thing on top of the car. Mom wouldn't let me drive because she's INSANE!!!! In a further attempt to control every aspect of my life, she said Dad was driving and I had no say.

This was after yesterday night when she was yelling at me that I do nothing around the house (I was folding laundry at the exact moment she was yelling.) and I ahve no respect for her (She demanded I help her use the comp, even though the only I changed was the modem! There's no other change!!!!!) and that I should respect her because she's my mother.

Ahem, just because you give birth to me doesn't mean you ahve the right to damand anything you want of me, rule by fiat, demean me, share my private life with whomever she chooses, and generally treat me as a lesser person. Respect needs to be earned.

Anyway, dad drove us to the beach. I thought we were going to go into the quiet marsh area. Nope. He put us in the ocean!!! With the waves!!!!!

We were fine for a while. It was fun! Tara steered, Jess paddled aimlessly, and I sat in the middle and looked pretty! It was so much fun! We chased down a stick! We were secret ninja vikings! (Shhh! It's a secret!)

Then we went to the beach for a bit. I was finding all sorts of junk! But I stepped on a sharp shell and cut my foot pretty badly. It was bleeding all over. I tried washing it in the water, but that HURT!!!! Sand kept getting into it too, making it worse.

I'm proud of myself for complaining a lot less than I wanted to. I also didn't scream unless it was REALLY bad! And I didn't cry at all! (Even though I very much wanted to.)

So I continued wandering all over the beach and I found a stick. I tried to pull it out of the sand, but it kept getting bigger and bigger! Everyone came and helped me, and we got it out. It was big enough to be a tree!! We buried it in the sand and started to decorate it! It was a most beautiful tree of death! Crab limbs and sea weed and shells and ribbons and balloons, and all sorts of junk hung all over the branches. So pretty!!!

Then we decided to go back out into the water. That...um...didn't work. To amke a long ordeal a lot shorter, we ended up filling up with water. All our stuff got drenched. We got drenched. (But not our hair!) It was a sad mess.

We struggled to get back to shore, and to get the water out of the boat. That was even worse! But we got it eventually. then, as soon as we got everything back under control, these two stupid people walk over AFTER WATCHING US THE WHOLE TIME and offer to help. but all they did was give stupid advice. Stupid people.

We dragged the canoe down the beach--me in the water, jess in the shallow wave area, and tara on land. It was exhausting!!!! Finally this group of wonderfully nice people carried the boat the rest of the way for us.They made me so happy!!!

Well, I was happy anyway. Even though everything I own is now soaked and ruined, the cell phone is dead, and I've probably made my friends mad at me, I was still ahving fun. The way I look at it, I now have a story to tell about how we went canoeing in the ocean and flipped over and got soaked. I'm sure years from now it will be a great memory!

Right, so then I walked all the way down the beach to call dad to pick us up. I actually couldn't get a hold of him from the beach phone. But I got the home phone. From there, kenneth called my parents. All w had to do until then was wait.

Tara waited in the middle of the road. A sherriff, a cop, and a random person all asked if she was ok. Jess and i blew bubbles. People were amused by that! >^^<

After dad showed up, we went swimming in my pool. It was sooooooooo cold!!! Brrrrr!!!! And jess kept splashing us! Isn't she mean! ;)

Taht was the first time I've been in the pool all summer. I even broke out the pool toys! Yay! I got to be a melting panda in the pool!!!!

I convinced everyone to walk with me to the town fair. First we got pizza. I was very confused. Normally nicks pizza is most wonderful! Today it was rather blah...did not make me happy. Oh well, didn't kill me!

When we got to the fair, it had just ended. *pout* But I bought everyone ice cream to apologize for dumping them into the water. I ahd mango italian ice! It was from this place that has italian ices in every flavor possible!!!! It amuses me!!!!

By then everyone was exhausted. We made a slow trip back towards the house. I forget that people don't like walking. Me, I could walk forever and not notice as long as I'm having fun. But for some reason other people can't do tht. I felt bad... ^^;;;;

Then we just got to be lazy and sit in front of the tv and play with smelly dogs. Jess and tara eventually left. then mom went back to her usual crazy mood and gave me a list of chores tha had to be done this very minute or else the earth would explode, taking all the other nearby planets in the solar system with it. *hrmph*

So yeah, I did all those. Now I'm done. And sleepy. So sleepy. Need to go to bed. But dinner will be done soon. Must wait. then sleep. But oh! Adult swim is on tonight, right? I msut watch that!

*giggle* I'm happy again! Wheee!

Even though i have horrible sunburn. The day star tried to destroy me! Now I'm so red I actually match my shirt!!! But I ahve a crescent moon on my wrist where my bracelet was. So it amkes it all worthwhile! Hehe!!!!
