Aim is back!
You know, I've never had my parents dislike my friends until now. My parents both REALLY don't want me hanging out with one of my friends, and it's a weird feeling. Like, I don't even know what to say to them. I know them better than you...? I can make my own choices in friends?? But what happens if they tell me I simply CANNOT hang out with them? I realize I only have a little under two more months here at home, so do I try and please my parents for the last two months or do I try and spend time with my friend that I won't be seeing very often after I leave for college? I'm a bit stuck.
Forward was fun the other night. I got to see Steve, and that was enough to make my week. I was thrilled to see him. I didn't like this week's message as much as last week's, but I think that's kinda how things go. It depends on where you're at in life from day to day on whether something will speak to you or not. Last week got to me, but I couldn't get the same strength and relevance this week. Oh well.
Afterward, we went bowling in Anderson, and I left my jeans there. Sadness. They have them though, and I'm going to get them when I get a chance.
Yesterday, I went and saw Spiderman 2 with Steve after helping my dad out at the school for a while. I was a copying machine. I had my whole system going and then my sister came in to help and threw everything off. We learned that she is incapable of using a paper cutter, which was pretty sad.
Today...I'm not sure what I'm doing exactly. I thought I was going to go shopping...but I don't know now. I can't wait for Jordan to get back to the dorms.
Dude, my dad bought the two of us weekend passes to the RCA tournament. I'm sooo excited. We have tickets to the quarters, semis, and finals. I can't wait. Andy is going to be there, and so are a bunch of other really good people! YAY! Now as long as Andy doesn't disappoint me, I will be okay.
That's all the weekend before I leave for Colorado. So the end of July is very promising and exciting for me. I'm thrilled.
The best news of all is that my AIM is back! Hooray! I love AIM now. I am finally reconnected to the internet world.
Love Always,
Alison
