I STARTED UHS!!! HIGH-SCHOOL!!!! I AM A HIGH-SCHOOLER AT LAST!! A FRESHMAN! SCHOOL HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED!!!...Ugh! No more summer! And Rachel still has about a week and a few days, she still has a summer left! Not fair. Why does school have to start so early. Oh well, it's cool. So first; the weekend. God I'm getting so bad about writing. Umm...Saturday, Rachel and Mom left early for Rachel's soccer tournament thing in some far away suburb that I forget. So Dad, Grandma and I had the day to ourselves. We wanted (Grandma wanted) to get us a lamp, we first went to Fillmore Street. We looked in Fillamento (aah! I love it) but no luck, so then in the fancy, cool but expensive store across the street from it- but no. No luck on Fillmore. Except for me, where I got Liz a few little presents from Mainline for her birthday party. I got her a set of cute heart candles, a candle and a joke magnet gay flag as one of our inside jokes. So funny. Then we went to the lamp store across the street from the dentist. (Ugh I'm in the bathroom now, Rachel kicked me out). So many lamps but so ugly! We couldn't decide, so Grandma got us a gift certificate there. When we went home quickly, then to the park, where we got stuck in an Indian music festival or something! So funny, Dad was getting so mad. Then we walked to the Crystal Palace gardens, Grandma like that. Oh yeah Dad broke his diet there! He spotted blackberries growing on some bushes, and, knowing Dad, he subconsciously picked him-- and ate one! Nobody realized what was happening except me when he was on his second berry. AAH! He spit it out though- so funny. Then I went over to Liz's @ around 6:30. Mara, Syline and Elaine were already there. Liz dyed her hair bright pink!! I didn't know that! Now she looks so Lowell. Then Aniko came, then Brittany, then Syd, Duncan and Jacque all @ once (they had seen 'Bring It On') and lastly, @10:15, Nora from Sam B's party which she said sucked
