mmmm, I've missed you too Peter...... those long, hot nights of....... oh i forgot this was available to the eyes of other people. Well everybody, my family now has the internet (da da-da DA)
so i will have many more opportunities to write on this. Let's seee....... tomorrow is my brother's graduation party and my band is going to play at it. That sounds impressive, but only about 20 to 25 people are going to be there. I dug a hole the other day and I had to cut tree roots. It was hard but fun. Then we stuck a pole in the ground and filled the hole with cement and voila, we have a basketball hoop! So yeah that's cool. I got sunburned today because I was mowing the lawn and stuff. I've become quite tan, sort of. My hair is a little shorter. It isn't aprroaching the hippy longness like it used to but it's still long, past my ears. I've haven't lost weight but I don't have as much of a beer gut (even though the gut lacked beer). I've written a few songs since I've been home. I'm not sure if I like them very much at all but I'm still working on them. I also recorded the classical guitar song that I wrote for my music theory class to. I'm still gonna try to make a kinda "Adam Prairie's acoustic demo" type of thing... almost an album but I'm not sure if I'll have time... hopefully hopefully. Has anybody else's summmer been dominated by serious thought and contemplation? Sorry that's a weird question.... I just feel that mine has. Carrie... your friend sounds really cool. I can't imagine having a better surprise over the summer than to make a friend like that. It almost sounds straight out of a movie or something... so cool beans, thumbs up, yay for you :) Yes arie we should all go to your house because that would be tons of fun. We should just take a weekend and do it during school. Oh everybody, by the way, Target SUCKS MY ASSHOLE!!!!!! sorry if that's too vulgar but that's the only description that came to mind. I can't get out fast enough from work.... although I've met some new people at work and we talk about Beck and Weezer and all sorts of music related stuff so that's good.... but the majority of my co workers are a bit on the dumb side. It seems all they ever talk about is going out to get "totally shit faced" or something similar to that. but anyway.... I should go play my guitar. I haven't played the last few days so I should. OH CRAP!!! I just remembered that I have to change the strings as well.
So yeah I'd better go. I miss everybody a whole bunch and I'm really getting excited for next year. So bye bye, I love ya.

hey arie,
i just found out that i am invited to the poetry thing too... i haven't checked my e-mail in awhile. i wish i could go now because then i could see you. there is no way i can go though. i have to save my money because my parents are expecting most of it and i need to pay for pizza next year somehow right? anyway i hope you can go and i hope it goes well. peace out. christina

that's annoying... none of my paragraph spacings show up after i post the message. grrrr

wow.... there is so much to respond to.... it is overwhelming, i guess i will just say what is going on with me first. well i am working all the time, three jobs. one of which i only work every other friday.... at my dad's office...right now. then i do yardwork most days and i work as a fill in at the cinemas. i have been working a lot at the cinemas because everybody seems to want to get off of work. i feel like i work more than i planned on.... but yesterday i did yardwork for 6 hours and my back got all suntanned, it looked a little red yesterday but all the red is gone now. so when i wear shirts that don't have the same back as the one i was wearing i have a big white part on my back.... it is funny. i also made a new friend. he is one of the managers at the cinemas... the slacker manager. anyway one night he rented "lain" which is a really cool anime series and i told him that it was really cool and i wanted to see it so he said why don't you come over to my house and watch it? so i did and we watched it and then i stayed over and we talked until five or 6 in the morning. we realized it was late when it started to get light outside. i was so glad to have someone to talk to because my friends have not had much time for me. lauryn seems to always be hanging with morgan and jill, megan is always hanging with adam and it is hard to be around them because all they do is argue, and david is avoiding me for the summer because whenever he sees me it is uncomfortable and i qote, "it ruins my day" he said that. anyway i am feeling a little isolated. i am sure that it is not as bad as it seems, it isn't like i never see anyone, it is just so different than it used to be. i used to see at least one of them every day. it makes me sad, especially that david will have nothing to do with me. he said maybe it will get better but i don't understand how it is going to get better if he refuses to spend any time with me, but i stopped trying because i don't want to "ruin" his day and i don't want to push it any further because i know how stubborn he is.
here is a weird thing, a few people have been telling me that i look thinner than i used to, but i have not lost any weight. weird, is it my attitude or something? it just weirds me out a little.
Arie- your friend sounds cool, you should kidnap him and bring him to visit us at school so we can meet him. also i am glad that you found a friend. it makes me smile. the poetry thing is cool, i never won anything but they published it in several books and even had it on an audio cd. i hope you can go get a silver bowl, that would be cool. would you plant something in it?
Carrie - Yay for dirty hippie clothes. i went to the grocery Co-op in port townsed awhile ago and there were a lot of hippies or at least they seemed like hippies to me. everything seems to be organic there. and a lot of the stuff comes from local grocers. oh and on the way there we saw camels, the camel farm! i had forgotten it was there, it was really exciting. ( :
Sam - i hope that you don't get shot, i mean the chicken is not something that i care too much about because he is an anonymus guy in a chicken suit, but you are not allowed to get shot by barefoot-gun-totin' kentuckians. i would miss you too much. (i am not really worried about you getting shot... but still don't) sorry about the hair dent, but i am sure that it is adorable, just like you.
i need to stop talking before i start boring all of you so in closing, i miss you all and i will talk to you soon. school is not that far away. i can't wait! i hope all of your summers turn out wonderfull.

Christina
