god damn I'll tell ya, this year really seemed to fly by quick. Seems like just yesterday it was the first day of school and I was struggling to get to my first period AP lit class... but that's all dust in the wind now, because summer is just a few weeks away! Though, it won't really seem like summer to me, because I've got soccer camp for a month for which I have to get up at 6:15 every morning, and I've got stuff to do for AP U.S. history, because my school is run by dicks who think summer break is for doing homework. oh well, that's the price I pay for wanting to do better physically and academically I suppose.

I'm also going up to Wisconsin with a friend around mid July, to a place called Afterglow, if any of you have ever been. Its a nice little place, its in the northern woods, close to the border of Michigan. There's a lake there, with a diving board platform floating in the middle, so we swim out there and play like ball tag or some childish sport to pass our time. There's a host of other events as well, including obstacle courses, pot luck days where everyone cooks something for a big feast, and a biker's breakfast where we all bike around 14 miles round trip to another area to have breakfast.

I'm also planning on going to western Illinois and Louisiana after I get my license within the next few weeks, as I have good friends there that moved, and I haven't seen them in quite some time. Seeing as how my grandma was recently put into a nursing home, she can no longer drive, so now I assume responsibility and ownership of her car. Its old and not too eye catching, buy hey, it gets amazing gas mileage, something close to 35 highway mpg or some insane number. Definitely going come in handy for all the driving and gratuitous gas prices. Another life long friend is going to be moving back to my town I just heard, after moving away about 5 years ago. I still see him now and again, but nowhere near as often as I would if he still lived here. This guy is my best friend, pretty much always has been, so its good to hear that he's going to be moving back and I can see him more again.

I hinted at this in my last post, but really didn't feel like going into detail because I'd probably lost most readers by the first paragraph (which is probably the same case here, oh well, this is for those who have patience). The first love I've ever had in my life and I are doing very well, we're very happy together, and we will always love each other (eeew lovey dovey, shut up). Once you experience the feeling of true love with someone that you deeply care about, you never really get a grasp on how good of a feeling it is to be with the one you love. I know that was the case for me, when I made that depressing poetry and whatnot news post some time back. I thought that no one would ever feel for me the way she does, but I was proven wrong the night we both realized that we were meant to be together. Long story short, it was one of, if not the best day of my life.

Don't know what else to put in this one, so I'll just post a few users that I like.

Skybolt, for obvious reasons that are innumerable.

Sashuno, because he's got an awesome forum, Chaosboards, that he runs, located here, that you all (of course not ALL, you get my point) should join, there's interesting discussion threads, image boards, etc. He's also cool on AIM, we have weird discussions about the world that would go on forever if human beings did not have the need to eat or sleep.

Reed, another fellow member of Chaosboards and a few other forums that I frequently visit, I've gotten to know him, and he's become a good friend. We talk on AIM often, more often than not our conversations have me bursting out in laughter causing my parents to come in the room asking what's so funny.

Supersexyactionfurry, owner of a couple forums I visit, and pretty cool guy, his posts always amuse me, both here and on his places. Not to mention that he has just an awesome name, hehe. keep on yiffin' ssaf.

Elios, he's got an awesome photo op thread that has not yet ceased to entertain me. I see him a lot on Paltalk, which is pretty cool. Every topic he makes is very thought out, and posted with the intent of inciting discussion, not just some random spam thread that seem to make up about 90% of the BBS these days. I always make a point to post in his threads, because they deserve to be posted in, and the whole BBS should see them.

So Newgrounds, what's going on over your summer vacation?

and that heart in her hand there is for the one I love. =3
