Not really feeling it lately; life's in one of those muddy puddles your bike gets stuck in. I guess I could make some great fun from the situation...but you know, it's really not that easy when you're going through it. You might look on that mud puddle from the outside and say 'ohh, fun! I love the mud, let's go run through it.' So, you do. But when you get right in the middle--to the deepest part where no one can reach you, and no one is going to jump in because they didn't want to get their hands dirty in the first place--you realize that maybe it isn't going to be as fun as you thought it would be. Sometimes you might have to lose your precious bike in the process. And you know how children are with their bikes; life is a lost cause without your bike. If anything, your bike is such a big part of your life that when it's gone...there's no more life to live.
Why am I talking about bikes?
That's...wow.
Maybe I need a therapist.

My hair is long.
This summer has been surprisingly fun. I've enjoyed myself much more than I probably should be--but I don't care! Sorry, self, but this is the last summer I have in a way. It's my last childhood summer, I might as well make something of it. I've decided I'll learn Russian. Well, I did decide...and attempted. But I can't find a good enough program to teach me at the library so that plan is flailing at the moment. I'll pick it up when I can find something easier to learn with. I've been on walks--I'm doing those again, and it feels so good--with my best friend that I've made. He's also pretty great; we're together a lot...so says everyone. But really, the time flies by, so I wouldn't really know the difference!
I haven't looked at the stars in a while (actually having laid out and stared at them) but I have taken a glance or two and one night I thought I saw that scorpion in the sky. It made me happy that I could even recognize it in the first place...if it WAS the scorpion. If not, well, I'm happy that I have the imagination to make the stars look like one!
I've written letters to my best friend in the Army. I'm actually awaiting a response to a letter I sent at the beginning of the week; two letters, because it took me so long to respond which makes me feel a little horrible. He's only in basic training now, but I miss him like crazy! Once he gets back we'll be doing lots of things, hopefully. We only have a few days between the time he comes home and school...but at least there's time to do a thing or two. Maybe go get a bite to eat, or bowl or something.
I've finally finished an entire 500(ish) paged book! 'Flyboys' was absolutely amazing! Very sad at times...most of the time, and graphic, but fantastic. It's a definite eye-opener to WWII.
My job as a lifeguard has progressed a little--I now teach swim lessons! The kids are oh, so very cute and I love them all. Some call me 'teacher' because they can't remember my name, and others call me 'Danielle' in those cute voices they have...cute!! It makes me want to have kids of my own sometime soon; but not until I'm married and a little bit into that. Maybe a few years into that. Yeah. And I probably won't get married soon...so I'll have to wait a little bit. But that's okay, I can steal other people's kids for a while. Babysit them and such.
Back to lifeguarding and my job! I'm super dark--almost black. I've gotten a lot of sun sitting out in that guard chair watching the people in the pool. My nose is sunburned and it kind of hurt yesterday, but today it's fine. My shoulders though...when they're burnt like they are now...yikes. That hurts pretty bad. My shoulders haven't gotten burnt in forever either, so I'm a little bit of a child when it comes to that kind of pain.
My ring that mom and dad gave me for graduation got back to me a couple days ago from being resized. It fits perfect now! It's a beautiful silver band with a saltwater (?) pearl in the middle and a couple very, very small diamonds on each edge. I love it and I wear it everywhere I go, along with the matching earrings and necklace it came with.
That's all that's really going on so far...and the only reason I posted this is because I have nothing else to really do. Always a good thing when your schedule gets to be a little hectic.
But hopefully I'll find more time to keep writing.
