Ugh. 

Not in the mood to write, but I've been writing thank you notes from my graduation party for ages and I had a migraine this morning so we couldn't go into Boston and visit the Tall Ships and I couldn't meet a dashing young sailor who falls in love with me and offers to let me sail around the world with him on his magnificent ship and have the time of my life and fall in love with him and the ocean and dock on a little island and build a cute house and live by the sea and be lovely. 

So yeah...I need a break to vent. 

I wish life could be like Titanic...only Leo lives, and no one dies. 

Is that too much to ask?

Great

I have been babysitting my neighbor's three boys on Monday and Tuesday from 7 in the morning until 5 at night. 

20 hours is a long time. 

As I left on Tuesday, I yelled a goodbye and started walking down the drive way. As I reached the bottom, I hear one of the boys yell enthusiastically across the yard to me:

"And don't forget Michela, you're hot!"

...

...

...

great. 

He's in second grade. 

In better news, I'm going away for the 4th of July as always, and I'm happy because it's my favorite time of the year. 

:)

I'm sad

Sorry again for not posting, we had my grad party on Saturday, and we had over 80 people, so needless to say, lots of planning, cleaning, setting up and more cleaning. 

Anyways. 

Today is Monday, and I'm babsitting my neighbor's three boys from 7 in the morning till 4:30 in the afternoon. It's been a long day, and tomorrow is the same deal. But thats ok...I need the money, and they're not too bad. 

But thats not why I'm sad. I'm sad because I feel responsible for the death of an innocent chipmunk. And I feel awful. 

The neighbor's have these two cats, and they are supposed to be indoor cats, but they're been going out lately, and now meow like there's no tomorrow until they are let out. So one escaped on his own, and the other I let out because I couldn't take the meowing. 

Then later we are all playing outside and I see the cats chasing this poor chipmunk. They don't even catch them and eat them, they just play with them until the little munk dies. So i try shooing away the cats, and I try to pick up the chipmunk and move him. The poor thing was trembling and half its tail was gone, and I felt so bad. 

But then it jumped and the cats chased it into some poison ivy, so I couldn't follow. Then one of them comes trotting triumphantly back with the chipmunk in his mouth. Then he continues to bat it around. It was all I could do to keep playing ball with the kids and not let my heart break all over the grass for that tiny chipmunk. If I had only snatched the chipmunk up sooner, or not let the cats get out at all, it would still be alive. I feel horrible. It was so tiny and cute, and its little eyes were so scared. I miss him :(

I'm sorry chipmunk.

lo siento

I feel like crap today, and am stressed out. I'll go into it more tomorrow probably, but here's a picture to make it up to you. 

Soz

Sorry I haven't made a list in a few days. 

I'll try to make this one nice and humorous then. 

1. Right now, the acoustic version of "Everytime We Touch" is playing. "LOL"
2. Remember when I said I was reading "A Tale of Two Cities"? Haha, well, I was actually reading "Great Expectations." You may think I'm making some high-level Dickens pun, but in reality, I just never bothered to look at the cover, which would explain why the story seemed different than what I remembered about it. Another "LOL" for Mik. 
3. I made more banana bread. 
4. Today while doing my driving lessons (don't laugh, I hate driving, so I never bothered to learn and get my license...but I sorta need it now as I'm going to college) my driving instructor starts reminiscing about when her and her friends would smoke pot, and one boy specifically would "jump off cliffs and stuff, thinking he could fly! His name was Malakai. It was so funny." I don't know if this woman should be teaching me anything. She also speaks in "we" form. I don't even know what literary person to classify that in. I suppose the extended form of second person? Oh, and she sings really off key to "My Life Would Suck Without You," claiming it to be "her girly song" and that she had never heard of Kelly Clarkson before that some came out. And to top it all off, she yells at me for speeding home. I think I am justified in that. 
5. Sorry that was long. To make it up to you,  I'll show you kids singing Lady Gaga.
6. My grad party is a week away, and just the other day found out that my grandmother, whom I haven't seen in a few years, is coming down from NY for my party. Let the cleaning commence. 
7. Here's a link to my Flickr account so you can see the pictures I've taken lately. 
8. You should read all of John Green's books. They are amazing. Like, legit. They are all similar, but drastically different as well. The first one I read was "An Abundance Of Katherines" and I must say, for a girl who hates math, I found it highly entertaining. Read Them. 

TALKMORESOONKTHNXBAI

Ugh.

1. I recall now, after waking up to do driving hours at 7:30 in the morning, why I don't have my license: because I hate driving. When I marry Rafa Nadal, I'll just hire a chauffeur.
2. I need to read more of the books I got from the library. I started both The Road by Cormac McCarthy, and A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. And now I don't know which one to finish first. 
3. I got quite a few Dickens books at the library, actually. As I'm graduated now, I feel like I should have read at least one of his books, and I haven't. Well, I read a Christmas Carol, but thats really short. Why don't we read his stuff in school? All we did was watch the movie...legit. 
4. I'm really tired. I watched "The New World" last night, because it has Colin Farrell AND Christian Bale in it. And...ok, it was a very artistically well-done movie, but it was 3 hours long, and barely any dialogue. The girl who played Pocahontas  was really pretty though. (she seemed a little young however to be gallivanting about with older men..hmm)
5. I need to go to the library and pick up some movies.
