Hola! School ended in May for us at Hewitt Trussville Middle School. So now, I have almost lost complete contact with my pals. My BFF came over yesterday and I miss her already(don't laugh, its not funny). We talked and now I am currrently composing a list of all my sweet, sweet friends.
I have the biggest crush on the world's most sensitive guy. No matter how many times he hurts me, I can't stay away(it looks grosser in print). I probably shouldn't be writing this because my step-dad owns a very big gun. I don't care and I expect to get many embarrasing phone calls from many relatives who get joy out of sucking other people's dignity right out of them. Anyway, we share the same hobbies but he has a girl friend. PFT( in case you don't know, pft has the same effect as sticking out your toung an blowing as hard as you can)!
Ciara is my bestest friend evur! She and I have known each other since 5th grade when she moved to Alabama. We've been in too many fights to count but I luv her still. She rocks. Wait, let me try that again:SHE ROCKS;)
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Lovingly,

Bummer Vacation

2008-06-05T13:20:00.000-07:00

Hey fans! Sorry it's been a while. Today, since I'm on summer "vacation", I couldn't remember the last time I left home. "Vacations" suck. Pardon my language, I'm just bummed. Every day I must watch after my little sister, clean, and make sure no one breaks into our house. IT'S SO DULL. First, my sister and I watch some early-morning cartoons. Then one of us fails at making breakfast. Next, I end up cleaning the kitchen from top to bottom the best I can. Our mom comes home sometime around noon for lunch. I have to hear about how I am not trying hard enough to keep the house clean and how I'm the older one, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. Mom, this is a fact so pay attention, only is proud of me when she can brag about me to the people she dis-likes or when we have company over. Other than those times she unloads all her un-tamed emotion on me and my withered social life. Poor mom.
Hey, this feels good! Maybe I should bag on myself more often. It builds character!:) LOVE YOU ALL!
Your Bummed Writer,

To answer a comment posted by Ladybug:
My li'l couz is so complicated(in a good way). She is energetic yet sometimes has that "why'd you wake me up?" disposition. She's unique in every single way and I can't help but be so jealous.
I Want Photos! Give me your funny, embarrasing and down right cute so everyone can giggle along with me:)!

My little cousin, li'l lady bug, is so sweet! She's like a puzzle and I love her sweet little face. I saw her this past break and I miss her so much! I can't tell you much about her considering how I miss her but I know she's one special munchkin!
Mrs. D is the queen of manners and etiquite. We're not blood related but she's close to my heart ant that's all that counts. I have never in my life seen her use her fingers to eat food. She's such a goof ball because of how she rough houses a hundred pound dog named Guiness. I luv mrs. D!

Aunt Mary Jean and Uncle Howard are close(even though they live across the country). I never really talk about them because I don't know much about them! Hard to believe even for me. We're supposed to be related! We never really talk. But if something happened to them, I'd be there in a heart beat.
Gregory is my cousin. He is so sweet! I love his upbeat additude. I still remember one of his birthday parties. We had so much fun! I loved when we took those little squeeky toy fishes and had a race. I hope I can see his smiling face sometime soon.
Uncle Ted and Aunt C.(sorry, I can't remember how to spell your name!) are my only relatives that live in Hawaii(other than TJ). I loved their beautiful wedding. Aunt C. looked like a goddess. Uncle Ted was so hansome! I don't really remember much, but I think I was a flower girl with my sister. It was so beautiful.(:
TJ is one of my many little cousins. However, he is certainly one of a kind. We spent one Christmas together. I couldn't help but watch over those rosey Hawaiian cheeks every moment! He was so sweet, I could've eaten him up. We went to the Birmingham zoo once too. I enjoyed every second! When my mom and step-dad got married, he showed up. He was just a baby then. My mom came in the house and saw my step-dad holding the little boy. She didn't know who's baby it was until my Aunt and Uncle walked in. I smothered him in affection.
My step-dad is one of a kind as well. Sometimes he can be just as annoying as my mother ,but I love him so much. We first met after he got off the plane in New York. I loved him the first second i saw him. I tried to let him know by giving him the biggest grin. We've been through thick and thin. We've seen each others bad and good sides. We've even had the "boy talk"(SO AWKWARD). I love him. I've learned his pet peeves and the things he loves the most. Did you know he doesn't have a favorite color?! OMG! I now know he'd do anything for me and only nags because he cares.
My biological father is a work of art. He climbs trees, rides bikes across the country, and is so caring, theres too much love to fill the world. My mother would argue other wise but I don't listen. He has a permanent home in my heart. I'm always waiting until the our next encounter. His life has been a winding road. Not everybody loves him as much as I do. We've been to the big apple together(still need those pictures). It was amazing! He's lived everywhere. We've been close and I feel we've had a connection. I love his enthusiasm sometimes. Sometimes I long to smell him which is kind of weird. If you've seen the Gameplan you know how big the bond is between "peyton" and her dad. When he rushed her to the hospital I cried because I missed my dad. (don't tell mom)
feel free to post(;

My mom has to be the best on the planet. Sometimes I want to strangle her but sometimes I want to give her the biggest hug in the world. She is amazing in every single way possible! No, I'm not just sucking up. You should see her wedding pictures(second one). She sooks a little red but I wouldn't tell her because it might hurt her feelings. The dress she's wearing is so gourgeous I want to snatch it and hide it from her.

Our family is so amazing. My grandma lives in New York and travels all over the world. We've been on cruises together, seen Hawaii together, and someday I want to be as comfortable in my place as she is in her skin. She seems so self-confident and doesn't seem to care what other people might think about her.

I love my Aunt Pooh so much I feel like we're more than neice and aunt. The things she does for people amaze me. Her husband, Uncle Pickle, is like a puzzle to me. He's also like a big Irish teddy bear(:. Their daughter, Little Pickle, is the sweetest, most innocent thing I've seen. If I could, I would want to be with her every moment of her life. Teaching her the things children only dream about.

My little sister is a huge challenge. I love her so much. Never tell her I wrote that. She'll get all mushy. We fight constant ly but underneath that crazy 10 year old is a heart of silver.
