So, my day started off kind of funny. i woke up, per usual, saw the puppies, played with my girl, then hugged Codie and Sprite, then left the house for Alida's. On my way, I noticed that Chris's driveway was TP'd... Whoever did it, and I have a good guess as to whom it was, is not too smart. Do they know that Chris can be jsut as stupid as the rest of us, but that he will prolly take it a step further? Joe, yes. I'll mess with Joe, mainly ebcause I know him, and he knows I'm jsut messing around. But, Chris? Nahh... I don't mess with him. He's one of the guys in the scary "Joe's friends" category. So anyway... I think he thinks I did it because I aksed him about it this morning on AIM. *shakes head* Oh well... LoL But, if my house gets TP'd... He will get it back three-fold. Mainly because I didn't start it, but I always finish it. Now, off to Pinelli's to go see if dave os working, and eat some dinner. Night all!

OMG... I'm so bored. I think I'm going to go running all by myself, no matter how much I loathe that idea right now. Failed my English and Math. I wanna go to graduation... But I'm not. I dunno. I don't feel like being depressed, and I jsut don't feel like sitting inside on a wondrous day like today. So, you're prolly wondeirng what I'm doing inside right now, huh? hah. Good question. I was actually looking for things to do. So, i decided on running, then couldn't find a person to go with. Damn it! LoL Guess I'm on my own. Cya all!

Today was Class Day. It was a great day, even though I kinda cried a bit at the Graduation thing. It was during the class song, when I realized just how much I really was going to miss all the people I never knew, as well as the people who I knew jsut enoguh to know that I liked to hang out with them, but never really did, or never really can. *shrugs* I guess maybe it's just something I'm going to have to get over. Or maybe I'll jsut try to do more stuff with them this summer. Hopefully I can. Hopefully.
I never really knew what I was missing until I went out with Juice, and now that I'm not really friends with him or Chris anymore, I can't really be friends with them. It was jsut so late in the year that the groups couldn't straighten it out and get over it... So, *shrugs* (Here's when I say my word that means I give up for now, but will never actually "give up".) Whatever.
So, I get my varsity letter tongiht. *shudder* Who would ahve ever thoguht I'd be a jock? LoL. I still make jokes about them, then think about it, and laugh. Oops! I'm one of them! hehe But, if you ask Jeremy, I fit in perfectly. Jsut as bubble-headed and idiotic as the rest of them. It's a good thing I know he's joking, otherwise I might actually have to prove him wrong. I'm really not idiotic, it's just that... when I try to act smart, I can't. I know what I'm trying to say, I jsut can't get it out right. A crux I jsut ahve to bear. Of course, it seems that that happens quite a lot to me, LoL I'm always saying the wrong thing. And it's not for lack of caring, jsut for lack of... knowing, I suppose. *shrug*
Anyway, Class Day was fun, and all the puppies are fine, and ADORABLE! The one I saved yesterday, she's one of the prettiest inthe bunch! A little black girl, with hardly any white on her back, jsut the thinnest little T that extends it's one leg up her neck. God, it's going to be hard to give any of them up. I can't wait till they're big enough to play with!! I'm going to have so many jogging partners, hehe Like Michelle with Red and Roxie... Kaite can't wait, either... hehe We'll play with them in the middle school track. Oooh... How cute!!!

So... Sprite had her puppies today, right on the day that I had bet on. I'm so proud of her. She's such a good mommy. There are 8 of them, all so small, they fit in the palm of your hand! There are two different colors, black and brown, and they all have white on them, some more than others. I do believe that Codie is thinking to himself... 8 Sprites... Only less grown up, and with less to keep them occupied... My ears are going to be shredded. Mom, when are they leaving, again? You can jsut see the wheels turning in his head, as he looks at you so hopefully... Are you taking them home? Please? Pretty please??
LoL I read so much into my dogs... It's kind of funny. So, I've had I don't know how amny people over this house today. Meagan Breault, Katie- who says she's sleeping here for the next 10 weeks, Auntie Mitch, Nana & Grampa, all of Seth's friends, and... oh, I bleive that's it. LoL I invited Juice and his parents, but... I don't think they're going to show. His mom wanted to know when they were born, so I called and told her, but I think she might've felt she was intruding if she actually came. *shrug* Eh, I can only extend the invite. Same for her son, who... we all know, avoids me like the plague. If I didn't find it so aggravating, I would ahve to laugh. Can you imagine what power that gives a person? Geez... make someone disappear simply by showing your face. Not much for a self-confidence booster, but hey! Whatcha gonna do? Life's not perfect! LoL
Anyway... My riding lesson yesterday was awesome. The new instructor, Cynthia, is great. She teaches like I love to be taught- She's on top of you, always watching, always correcting, but always keeping you intrigued and learning more and more. she said that me and Ally were both extremely talented young riders, and whereas she was expecting a decent rider from both of use, she had not expected the level of competency that she came across. I know I am a decent rider. I can stay on most of the time, and I usually know a bit of what I'm doing, and why. But really, I work mostly off instinct, which she picked up on, and commented on. I found her to be very intuitive and knowledgeable, and I think that we're going to have a lot of fun. At one point, Ralph wanted to like... hit me, I think. I was already being a wise-ass, and it was only our first lesson. But, he relaxed when she laughed and was like,"Okay, smartass, now what's teh real answer?" knowing that I knew, and was jsut giving her a hard time. Testing her, really. Just as the horse tests its rider, the student tests their teacher.
And trust me, Major was testing me last night. Beautiful horse. Stocky little guy, not real small, but built burly, so you didn't really know what size he was, until you were on his back. Solid black, with a glossy coat, nice hooves, though he did need a farrier and he did have a bit of an overreach, clipping himself in the front. Anyway, he tested me solid for the first few rounds at the trot, but I think she was pleased that by the end of the lesson, he had settled down and actually started to really work for his keep. I think with a bit more time, I might ahve actually had him going softly on the bit. But... You pay for an hour, you get an hour. *shrugs* That's how it works. So, anyway, I think my head swelled a bit last night, with her complimenting us both on how well we rode, and how well we handled ourselves. She was impressed with the waty Major swerved out while I was trying to talk to her, and I didn't even fade off in my speech, just sat down and moved with him. So... She continued to pick on me all night long, peppering me with little questions about why, and how, and did you know...? LoL It was fun, and stimulating. She got me thinking, yet learning valuable little things at the same time.
She actually kind of reminded me of Ms. Mosher or Mr. Boucher in the way she taught. Just enough to keep you interested, but then wiht a quick story or fun time in between, to let yourelax and focus again, then back at work. She also noticed my rather short attention span. She asked me a quesiton, while I was visibly not paying attention, then, thinking I wasn't listening, she asked me to repeat what she said. So... when i repeated it verbatim for her, she jsut shook her ehad an laughed. Later in the lesson, when we had gotten down, she was tlaking to me, and I was jsut palying around with major, not really paying any attention, and she, in the middle of her commenting, said, "Well, one of you is always listening, jsut never appears to be listening. LIKE NOW!!" My head snapped up, and I gave a rather sheepish smile... She jsut laughed and continued on, while I went back to playing with Major. I think overall, both me and Ally had a good time, and she was impressed with both of us. Especially since we were riding in sneakers... Heaven forbid!
Anyway... That's a rather long narratice of what was supposed to be two lines. Off to study for my BioTech final tomorrow... AHHH!!!

Oh man... Last day of track. I'm sooo sad. I'm going to miss those girls so much, and even though I couldn't wait for it to end, I'm really going to miss running every day. Like, I'm jsut going to miss that whole experience, and I don't think anything could match it next year. Don't get me wrong, I love the sophomores, but... They're not katie and Michelle and... *shrug* I think Chris was right.I really will miss the seniors, and I won't even know how much until next year, and I'm hte senior.
That thought is so scary. really, who thought they'd ever be the seniors in High school? I've got the chills just thinking about it. God... Who'd have though that? I hung out with Richie and TCapp tonight, jsut for a little while at the Gazebo, and it really was like I told Chris. I needed my "fix." Lmao. What a way to put it, huh? Anyway... It was fun. I'm kind of sad right now, mainly ebcause of the thought that these people won't be here next year to hang out and meet at the gazebo, and jsut... chill with. Granted, I don't know many seniors, and the ones I do know, I don't know very well. But I do know, for sure, that I will miss every single one of them. And it makes me sad that I missed my opportunities to get to know these extraordinary people, all of which have made my days far more enjoyable than they would have been otherwise, and who have made me a better person, in uncountable ways.
So, no frustration, no irritation, no anger. Just... sadness and regret. And no, I'm off to bed, to sleep and ponder, to dream and wonder. Goodnight world; goodnight all people I will miss, and those I already do.
