With the lovely flower in her hair...

Summer is here, it is almost nine at night and it’s not even close to being dark yet. I love that though, well, at least right now I do. In the winter, I like it that it gets dark early, because I find the sun to be incredibly annoying in the winter. In the summer though, I love being outside when its late, and the sky is still fairly light and soft. It’s lovely.

Yesterday, Nile and I went into the pet store because I had to buy something for Pim Pim. Nile and Erik have both been begging to get a bird for months now, and while Nile and I looked at them yesterday, I felt the urge to help them with their case for some reason.

I am notorious in my family for being able to talk people into things, make want they want sound completely reasonable, etc. So I’m usually the one the girls come to when they want something, and I’m always the representative for we sibs as a group. Anywho, Nile was really cute yesterday, and the poor guy had such a rough time at the gym earlier, that I was compelled to help him get a bird.

Three sentences and a cute look from Nile later, and we now have two tiny adorable zebra finches in our sunroom.

You’re good you say? Ture, very true.

I have officially decided that graduating from high school is fabulous. I mean show me the cons and we might talk, but I haven’t been able to find any! Here is my experience in a nut shell. a.) After I finished my seniors project, I had this amazing high from being ‘done’, and it was one of the best feelings I’ve ever had. b.) I go to go to a graduation ceremony and have people say really, really nice things about me, all while sitting and wearing a pretty outfit. c.) I got to have an amazingly fun graduation party, that was yes a lot of work, but also completely fabulous. Friends came, bearing kind words and presents. d.) In most of those presents, was either cash or cute checks in lots of different amounts. *cough* ipod/laptop time *cough* e.) And every time the mail comes there are cards in it! With more *cough * check or cash *cough * and sometimes wicked fun presents!

I guess the only cons would be the few people I had to invite coming to my party, having to write thank you notes to said people, and having to answer the infamous “What are you going to do now?” question a million times. Still. It’s pretty good overall.

Also - I love Casablance more and more every time I see it. Oh, and I watched Psycho for the first time ever last night, not a total dissapointment, but not at all what I expected.

Tennis has been fabulous, except for one thing. The bugs. We have had to drench ourselves in bug spray every time we've hit the courts after seven, which kind of sucks, but that is a price I'm willing to pay.

More later? It is possible, very possible. I keep hopping on and off today waiting for fandango to put the Batman Begins tickets on sale in our area, it is so annoying.
