So.

Alice made a blog. Good going, Alice. Now I can never talk about you behind your back.

The pool is a beauteous one now. It's a shame it's cold outside and the water is freezing. Hurrah for Fall weather. There is a lone toad in the pool. Back when I had different friends, we called double chins "toads."



I found an Irish blessing at my Aunt's house,

"May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rain fall short upon your fields, and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand."

If ever I go on a very long trip, I want someone to say that to me. Or write it to me.

Connecticut and kittens

I absolutely love going to West Haven, Connecticut. It's awesome because my aunt has a condo overlooking the Long Island Sound. It's the greatest feeling waking up and looking out the glass doors and seeing the water. My aunt is a nun. The nice kind. She has a cat that is scared of people, so I don't know what he looks like. Ooh, cats. Alice wants a kitten. I do too. It would be nice. Supposedly female cats can have babies when they are only 5 months old. That's gross.
I bet that's what happened to Tiger, Chewy's mom. Chewy is our oldest cat and Tiger's still alive.


School starts for me on Wednesday, September 3rd. World History, Chemistry, and Pre-Calc all in the same day. My worst subjects. Someone's plotting to destroy me.

Now you're affecting his Chi.

Scene: Kerry, Michelle, and Brendan decide to take the Tai Chi Chuan class at the YMCA. Mistake #1

The instructor, Steven, shakes our hands and begins the class. He is 26 years old and was born in Greece, but he lived in a monastery for 13 years in China. He's wearing a black robe. 
I feel like Christian Bale in the first Batman. We do some dumb arm, leg and neck movements, all the while having to inhale and exhale at the right times. It was somewhat relaxing when I wasn't trying to control my laughter.

At the end, the one other woman who took the class bolts out of the door. We take our time getting our stuff (Mistake #2), and are headed out to leave when Steven traps us and starts a conversation. He shows us how we should stretch and he takes off his shoes. He talks some more about his tai-chi-ing life in China. Then he gives us some advice about being ourselves and 'not judging a book by its cover'. He tells Michelle that she is a beautiful young woman, but she is probably ridiculed by others because she wears glasses. "I understand, I wear glasses too!" He tells us that he is friends with people of all ages, ranging from 16-95. He tells us that we should have fun while we are young. "Don't tell your parents this--but I think it's okay to have a beer. And when you're 21, get trashed! Just get it out of your system. But make sure you are around people you know. We don't want statutory rape on our hands." But wait! He then tells us he has never had a beer in his life. It's against his morals. He tells Michelle that she is a beautiful young woman again. He says I am too. He tells Brendan that he is a handsome young man. It's been almost half an hour since the class  has ended.

We start backing towards the door. Finally, he thanks us for taking his class, and hopes to see us again SOON. We walk out of the door, slowly, but he doesn't follow us. We walk a few steps in silence. Then we start running for our lives.

Mistake # 3- Not reporting Steven to the Y authority.
Theory- If we do, they will tell us that they don't have a Tai Chi Chuan teacher named Steven. dun dun dun.

Title:

Computers frustrate me to no end, I almost despise them, but not enough to stop going on them. The internet was down last night so I did some old-fashioned writing in a huge notebook. The entirety of what I wrote had to do with wanting to slap myself in the face for how stupid I am sometimes. I never have slapped my own face. That would be weird. When I was like 9, I had my friend pretend that she threw up and I told Sarah and her friend that they had to come help her. They came upstairs and when they found out that my friend really didn't throw up, Sarah's friend slapped me in the face. In my own house, too. The nerve. I guess that's what I get for lying.
Saturday night I saw Suessical (said without moving lips). The singing and acting was well done for the most part. My mother almost cried when Horton the Elephant and Gertrude the Bird got together in the end. Really, it was silly. The part I found endearing was when Horton refused to leave the bird's egg even when it cost him his freedom. The Cat in the Hat was a bit creeper-worthy, other than that, Bravo.
Yesdidday- we got some rain, and then the sun came out. Alice was driving, and I was in the backseat, and we start driving down this road. Since it was wet from the rain, the sun reflects on it and the whole road is lit up with a blinding light. We thought we were going to die. We didn't...but oh, our poor eyes. There was a point to this. There was a great big vibrant rainbow. I love ze rainbows. How could you not be happy while looking at a rainbow? It's no wonder they are a symbol for gay people. Gay as in happy. Guffaw.
I'm not very good with writing in blogs. Notice my title. This post doesn't even deserve a title. I don't really care though. It's fun and that's all that matters.
