Long Time, No Write

So sorry to all you bloggers out there. I know I haven't written in a while and I apologize greatly for it. My excuse is purely that a mixture of vacation, camp, and family time has caused me to become distracted. I will not promise that it will never happen again, however I will promise that if it does, I will apologize much like I am doing right now.

So, first in the news is my vacation. Our week long trip out west proved to be a little long. However, I did meet a cute cowboy, go to an awesome concert, and get to embark on a sunset horseback ride. So, overall it was a good trip, but I was very thankful to be home. I was so sick of my family and so close to pulling my own hair out that I shut myself in my room and did not open the door until my mind had slowed down to at least fifty miles per hour. I still have not finished unpacking (choose to believe it or not), but plan to as soon as I have any spare time.

Second in the news is that Band Camp has officially started as of last week. As a member of our high school's flag corps, my attendance is mandatory. We march in the blistering heat, seek shade under a large elm tree, and practice twirling five foot long flag poles until we feel our elbows will disintegrate. I do, however, get to eat lunch with my friends in a dark, airconditioned, theater, so I can't complain too loudly. I go back tomorrow and it will continue for at least another two weeks.

Third in the news is that I finally 'broke up' with this guy that I was supposed to start seeing come the first day of school. As my friend so pointedly said, 'how can you break up if you were never together?', I have no real answer other than I felt the need to make it official that I no longer liked him as anything more than a friend. So I told him, he's fine with it, and I feel 100% free now!

Fourth in the news (no, I'm not done yet!) is that my ex called two days ago wanting to see me. Why, I can't possibly imagion, but because I am currently angry with him, I made up an excuse and he hasn't called since. The whole story is that I went out with him at the end of winter and after a month or so decided that I didn't like him anymore. So I broke up with him and we planned on staying friends. That is until I find out from my friend that he had been talking horribly about me behind my back with his new girlfriend (someone I can't stand and thought he couldn't either. He lied.). So, hurt and confused, I've been mad at him ever since. I suppose I should tell him why exactly I'm mad, but I can't even find the energy to talk to him when he does call. So that's that story for all of you gossips out there.

And finally fifth in my news is that I got a cell phone! Yey! Finally! It is so cool and I love playing around on it! My father apparently does too, because when I told him off for dropping, playing with, and continuing to bug me about mine, he went off and got his own new one today, much to my family's surprise. He will never live this down, knowing my family. We tend to hold on to info like that and use it playfully against each other. Some would call it cruel, but hey, if we find it funny then we're going to do it. We do love to laugh.

So that's pretty much what has been going on lately in my life. I will try to write again soon, but am making no promises, as said before, camp starts tomorrow and with it starts another hectic week.

Full of news,

Tay
