So it's gorgeous, wonderful summertime again! Therefore I have a ton of time to waste on the computer (mostly in those wonderful wee hours of the night) and I MAY actually spend some time on DA. *le gasp* I know, I know, I've been greatly absent lately. Sorry.

I have gradumacated! I'm, like, SMRT now! RITE?! XD So happy to be out of there. And super excited for MSU in the fall, with Kelly S, Hannah H, Lisa B, TJ N, and Paul Z (religious school friend), plus a freakin' boatload or twenty of new people. Such as Ashely! I met her at orientation, we totally bonded over marching band stories and bashing Twilight. Score. But I am going to miss my stuck-at-Stevenson friends, and I promise I won't forget you all and will come back to visit often(ish)! As well as staying in touch with my awesome friends going to places like U of M and Central!

I actually do have a few pictures that aren't finished but I'm working on that I want to submit... problem is, I can't actually find them... I desperately need to clean my room. More so since Evan wants to take it over once I leave. XP

And now...

I am extremely BLARGH lately with my parents (well, mother) and I have to RANT. Therefore, I will now proceed to rant. If you are actually bothering to read all this, you may now want to stop, as there really isn't anything important or interesting coming up. XP

Soooooo... mom's mad at me because I apparently don't know the proper way to address envelopes. Apparently I should have learned this in 3rd grade and she didn't think she had to spell it out for me, she 'thought I was smarter than that.' Ok, maybe I learned it in 3rd grade (I honestly have no memory of it) but guess what? I haven't addressed an envelope since then. Up until now, mom has decided to address all my thank-yous and invitations and letters FOR ME. So how the hell is it my fault that I don't know how to address an envelope??? I HAVEN'T DONE IT IN YEARS. IF EVER. But she still thinks it's my fault and that I'm stupid. Grrrr. She's also mad that apparently I don't understand her shorthand. I guess the checkmarks next to names on the thank-you list weren't actually checkmarks, they just stood for that those people gave me checks. But I should have made checkmarks to signal that I had completed those thank-yous. So there were supposed to be two checkmarks that I was obviously supposed to understand. I didn't make more checkmarks, because there were already checkmarks!! So she got mad. And offended. Apparently my lack of shorthand understanding and envelope addressing makes me stupid, and the TEN GRAND a YEAR State is giving me for my various STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES means NOTHING.

I really am not getting along with my mother lately. I mean, we've been getting further apart for years, but it's getting really bad this summer. I can't wait to get to MSU.

Ok, rant over, happy now. ^.^
