Dannnyyyboy is here.

=].

I'm a happy camper.

Also, to get deep for a second: It's funny how the longer I've been away, the more freetime I have, the more I've realized that I really do want to be back at school. I really think it has something to do with my incredible lack of routine I've had this summer. I'm ready to be back in that regular routine I have during school: Class. Lunch. Work. Library. Repeat. I think I really do need that in my life.

Anyway, I need to go now because Danny is here!

Also, this is fun. And, it's been a while.

Do you put shampoo in your left or right hand?
Left. I'm pretty sure.

When you take a drink of something, do you hold your pinky up?
Hahaha. YES. Not.

Ehh. I'm kind of feeling the alone time before everyone and their brother gets here.

Negative. Well, I guess sort of, but I really don't think it counts.

Who was the last person you talked to?
Danny!!!

A pair of black Chaco flips.

To celebrate it.

Generally.

Yes.

Is tomorrow going to be a good day?
YES! Danny gets here tomorrow!!

Take medicine. Sleep.

What about sore throats?
Cough drops.

Whats currently bothering you right now?
My stomach has been hurting for like three days now. It's annoying.

What was the first thing you thought this morning?
Well, Danny called me, which is how I woke up, so my first thought was something along the lines of what I said to him: "What the hell do you want? Do you know how early it is, asshat?" To which he replied: "Good morning to you, too, my love." Jerk. Haha. But, then he told me he was coming tomorrow, so I forgave him for calling me so early. Haha.

Are you afraid of the dark?
Most of the time.

Have a best friend?
Yes. I do.

Have you ever gotten a sunburn so bad it hurt to move?
YES. When I went to the beach in Michigan three weeks ago.

Yes.

My birthday is 13 days from now. Festivities start in 11 days. And last through the following weekend. [And, will breifly pick back up when Em gets to Georgia and we do something combined for both our birthdays.] Oh, goodness. I'm getting excited.

Happiness.

Love love.

Being home is... good. It is, it really is.

I miss Richmond more than I can say, though. There were reasons I needed to be home; reasons I wanted to be home, but I wish that those reasons hadn't come up, that way I could have stayed in Richmond longer.

Since I was home only about three days before I left for the weekend to Alpharetta and Cumming [which was so much fun... truly one of the best weekends I've had all summer], I've not really been home long enough to take it in. But, now I'm going to be home for about a month before school starts. I really do think that will be good.

Today I noticed a couple of things that have changed in the month that I was gone. Just little things like the abandoned truck on Old Summerville is finally gone. The beginning of my road has been repaved. The Bettlers finally got a new car. As I was noticing these things that have changed I started thinking about how much I've changed this summer; how much I've learned about myself.

I think there's a point at which all people realize who they are and what makes them happy. This summer was that point in my life. I realized that I my family and friends make me happiest. I know that while alone time is necessary and important that I truly do need to be around family and friends to be happy. I finally know what I want to do with my life. That is like a burden lifted off of me. I've learned that there things that I need and things that I don't need to be happy, and also that I will do what I need to be happy. Also, I've substantially changed my diet, 1. by becoming a vegetarian, and 2. cutting out a lot of fatty and fried foods out. This summer has been long, hard, and trying at times, but all in all it's been really good and really necessary. It's funny how a summer can change your whole perspective on change. Hmm.

There is still about a month before school starts, which means I still have time to learn other new things about myself. It will be a good month. My birthday is in about two weeks, which is really exciting and I have all kinds of things planned. It's looking like it's going to be the best birthday yet.

Smiles.

Love love.
