First Days of Summer

Yesterday was my last day of school as well as my interview for a summer job. I got the job thankfully because I need money. Tianna and I were at my house talking about my cousin, Mitchell. I was telling her how creeped out my dad was by his senior picture. Mitchell is a very creepy guy.  Tianna got the idea of putting pictures of Mitchell all around my house to freak my dad. We printed out 54 copies of the same picture of Mitchell. We put one on the fridge, milk container, cereal box, toilet, mirror, walls, my dad's bed, in his book, and over my nephew's face in the photo album. We also put one in his winter coat pocket so he'll find it months from now. When he got home he saw the pictures asked why there was a picture of Mitchell on the doggie door. Then he found the one on his bed and said oh now that is just creepy. I left to go to a movie, came back to find one on my bedroom door.
Today, I went in to fill out a bunch of paperwork for my new job. The lady who went through all of the paperwork was my ex boyfriend's sister. She asked me if I was related to the teacher at the elementary school which of course I am because that's my mom. She then proceeded to ask if I knew her brother to which I said maybe pretending like I had no clue who her brother was. She said his name and I said yes I knew him. The reason why all of this was extremely awkward is because she used to hate me. She would never talk to me when I was at their house. She basically refused to acknowledge my presence up until today.

Love Triangle?

School is almost out! Thank God! I can't wait for it to be summer. I have three days left of school. Lana Del Rey's new album is coming out in five days which is also going to be the day that I go get my ears pierced(not for the first time). I am hopefully going to be hanging out with the guy I went on a date a couple weeks back. He and I talk quite frequently. My life is kind of turning into a weird love triangle or perhaps a square since four people are involved. The guy that I have been talking to will give him a name, Henry is friends with Scott who is one of my best guy friends. Scott is dating my best friend Tianna. Scott previously had liked me for well over a year and might still possibly like me I don't know. Scott keeps saying bad stuff about me to Tiannna in hopes that she will not be my friend anymore or something stupid like that. Tianna and I think it's possible Scott isn't quite over me and is pissed that he didn't ever date me. Now that Henry likes me, Scott thinks I'm too shallow for Henry. Tianna is currently trying to get Scott to stop being a jerk about me all the time, so that I can date Henry without Scott being in the way. The whole thing is all childish and stupid and makes me wonder why I ever try getting along with people. I can't wait to not have to deal with pointless drama like this anymore. Honestly, why do teenagers have to make things more complicated than they need to be? I would be happy if all four of us were able to get along without any problems whatsoever. Henry and I should be able to date without Scott being jealous. By the way Henry is not his real name it makes him sound like an old man which he is not.

Barbecue Turns to Fishing Trip

On Sunday, my dad, his girlfriend, and I went to a barbecue three hours away from where we live because my dad's friend's son came home from Afghanistan. He was over there for a year as an engineer, and now he's going to be working for my dad in July. We went to the barbecue decided to stay an extra night, then decided to stay to go fishing, and didn't come home until today. My dad's girlfriend left Monday morning so my dad's friend had to drive us home. Unfortunately, we did not catch any fish yesterday not even a bite. I did okay some songs for them on Sunday night around the campfire. My dad's friend told me I had confidence in what I do, and that I sing from the core as he put it. He thinks it comes naturally for me as I have been told by others before him. I don't know exactly what they mean. I get that I can sigh tread very easily and pick up stuff well when it comes to music, but I don't understand how someone can tell that a person has a natural ability just by how they play.

Date Night

I haven't been up to much recently. Well, that's not entirely true. I have just been involved with the typical teen stuff that everyone thinks of. Going to school, hanging out with friends, and I went on a date last weekend. HOLD UP what was that last part. Yes, I went on a date last Sunday. It seems it's been forever that a guy has been able to hold my interest past the whole, "Hey how's it going?" because most of those guys follow that up with, "you're beautiful and a cool person," and those guys are losers. Not because they say that but because they are drop outs who do nothing but smoke weed. Okay so maybe this guy isn't much better. He is, yes, a drop out, and he does smoke weed, but he's smart and is interested in doing something with his life beyond living with his parents and smoking weed. Also the only reason he dropped out is because his parents moved so much that he was in and out of school all the time and he couldn't keep up. I honestly feel bad for him because he is the type that could have graduated if he had been given a fair chance. Anyways, back to the date. We went to see the movie Neighbors for lack of anything better to do in this town. It was a good movie pretty funny although was not expecting to see Seth Rogen naked. Sorry if that was a spoiler for anyone. Besides the movie we didn't do much else besides sit and talk for an hour. He is such a cutie. He is by far the hottest guy who has ever been interested in me, and he's not your typical hot guy. You know the guy who has a constant tan, perfect face, six pack, perfect smolder, and could make just about any female faint with every word he speaks. Instead he is half Japanese, pale, very attractive face, six pack, and has a soothing voice that doesn't make me want to faint. Also he has one eye that's half green and half brown which is very cool. Not only is he attractive and smart, but he is socially awkward like me and understands the struggle of those who are not up to par in socializing.

Lost Dog

I have the cutest little dachshund anyone could ask for but sometimes she can be a real pain.

See she really is adorable. 

Anyway this past week she's run away twice. The first time she was only gone for over night when I received a phone call in the morning from my best friend. She woke up to have my dog in her house and was very confused as to why she was there. It turns my friend's sister found not knowing it was my dog. They were going to take her to the pound until my friend told her sister it was my dog so I got her back that time. This time she ran away sometime on Friday. I called the pound the next day they said they didn't have her. I printed out posters of her and put them, because she doesn't have tag because she lost it. Later that evening my dad calls me saying he was looking at my dog's picture on our local pound's website. Now I can't get my dog until Tuesday because the pound is closed on Sunday and Monday. I did leave a message, and I might be able to get her tomorrow. I hope I can. She's my little cuddle buddy, and I want her back home. 

Changes

I recently had my last band concert of the year as well as last Jazz band concert. I don't have to get up so early anymore. In band though we still have to work on "Pomp and Circumstance" for graduation. I can't wait for this year to be over because that means I'll be a senior year which also means one last year of high school. Woot! I am in the process of making a decision on if I want to change schools for next year. I guess it sounds stupid to switch schools for one year, but my best friend is moving, and I didn't want to be stuck here without her. We're not going to the same school though. She's going to do online school and do acting stuff, and I'm going to high school in the next town over which is only twenty miles away. I won't know a single soul, but it will be a chance to start over and work on my social skills which are terrible. Also I'd be able to take better music classes there. I do want to go there I'm just scared about being the new kid as I imagine most would be. One of my friends' parents said it would be a stupid idea since I'd be spending extra money on gas,but my dad already works there so we'd just carpool together. I can carpool home with other people if I have to get back here earlier than my dad. I think it could be a great opportunity for me to enjoy my last year of high school.

The Boss

My dad is currently at a music festival see our Lord, Bruce Springsteen, in concert. My dad has gotten into the habit of calling Bruce lord because he thinks there will be churches dedicated to Bruce in the future. Anyway he got there six hours before had to play, and my dad was able to touch him, "Gave him attached boy pats on his shoulder," is what he said. He also rubbed Bruce's sweat on his girlfriend so she'd feel like she'd been touched too. He said he cried, but I'm not sure if he really although I wouldn't be surprised if he did. I think my dad was the only one who had a good day. I took the SATs, but I skipped ten questions by accident. I will have to take the damn thing again. I was already a wreck taking this one I can't imagine what I'll be like next time since it will be my last chance. My dad said I could just join a band if I mess up the next time. In reality I'll end up living at home unemployed if I mess up a second time. I really need to do well on this stupid test so I can pay for college because my parents are so generous as to not give me any money at all for college. I understand why they're not going to help me with college, but that doesn't mean I want to pay for college myself.
