Whoo hoo!!!!!!! Pool party at Jesusfreak's house!!!!! Haha I said start filling. When we fill the pool, we pump water out of the stream next to our house so we don't run the well dry, and it takes forever, and the water is COLD. It'll probably be a few weeks before it's actually warm enough for swimming, both in terms of water temperature and air temperature. Just in time for the 4th of July!!! How are the fireworks in your town? lol I don't know, I'm usually at camp for 4th of July, and I'll probably be up there again because my parents are on the 4th of July committee. Oh, and Jenny broke up with Tommy, but it was kinda mutual, and it was really just not working out very well. So that's the end of that, apparently. But in better news, It's supposed to be nice out tomorrow and Monday, and Phil's hoping to make it over here on Monday after the parade. And as much as I seem him during my many trips to the grocery store, I really miss him, so I really hope he does make it over here. And as much as I miss him, he still always manages to make me smile when we talk online, if for no other reason than the fact that I can tell that he really cares about me, and that's something special. So today I told him he was awesome for no good reason other than the fact that I felt like it (and had actually been wanting to tell him that again for awhile, despite not having any specific reason). Tommy seemed insecure about his relationship with Jenny, so the break-up is probably for the best. Let's see what happens. It's wonderful news that you and Phil are getting better and better. Pool party at Jesusfreak's house July 4th!!!!!

[ Yes! Woot, woot, woot!!! ]

Ohhhhhh, you are so pretty!!!!! This is the best picture yet!!! No wonder why Phil is so in love with you!!!! Aw, thank you! Yeah, I was pretty happy with the way that picture turned out. For some reason, pictures of people tend to look better when they're in black and white or sepia (for me, that reason is because I have awful skin, and it's not as noticeable when there's no color). So there are few really good pictures of myself in color where you can easily see my whole face. Like this one. This is probably the only really good recent shot of my face in color. As for Phil, he asked me out without having seen me in person for almost a month, and having seen me less than 10 times (probably less than 5 times actually, but I'm not sure) in the past year. Now I just have to get some more good pictures of Phil....the problem is that I don't usually take pictures unless I'm bored or someone is doing something outlandish enough that I think a picture needs to be taken. And usually if I'm with Phil, I'm holding hands with him or something, so I don't have my hands free. So I need to actually make it a point to take pictures of him. Because most of the pictures of him that currently exist do not do his lovely face justice. Great picture featuring your gorgeous blue eyes. I like this one as well. Thanks! lol I like the way my eyes look, but they don't work very well. Well, how many times to you actually look at your own eyes? Soooo, no problem if they don't work well. It's the looker, not the lookee, who gets to see the beautiful colour. *thinks about the ~er~ and ~ee~ and checks to make sure they are in the correct position* Haha. I think in a few years I might look into the laser surgery to correct my vision, or at least make it a little better. I'm just afraid that something will go wrong. But in the mean time, glasses are fine. I've been wearing glasses since I was about two. I'm not so sure I could go in for lasers/surgeries in my eyes. It would be hard for me if I was sight impaired. Glasses are just fine... as long as I don't lose them... which happens every now and then. Losing glasses is pretty hard for me, since they're always on my face or in some specific spot if I'm sleeping, showering, or swimming. Anything beyond about 2" from my face is fuzzy, so I pretty much always have my glasses on. Plus it's just instinct for me to put on my glasses as soon as I get up. You have developed a very good habit... putting them in a specific place when you go to sleep, shower, etc. It would be great if I had such discipline.

Well, we kinda live in the same state, remember? And there area few ways to get leaves out. There's only a few inches of water in the pool, so I'll probably just stand in the pool and pick up big handfuls and toss them out. There will likely be rubber gloves and boots involved. The other way is to use this net scooper thing that's attached to a long pole. The problem is I'm to short to be able to use it effectively, and I can't stand on the edge of the pool like dad usually does because there's not enough water to support the pool walls. So Phil will probably use that. He's got strong enough arms for it too. And he doesn't have rubber boots. This should be an interesting afternoon.

Yeah, grandma just tends to forget where she is and why she's here. Like half the time she thinks she's just visiting at my Aunt Cathy and Uncle Ken's house. And it was a great day, we need to do stuff like that more often. Today I dropped off my job application like I said, and then went to the grocery store (again, because mom had *more* things she needed from there), and I got to see Phil again. You didn't mention where you dropped off your application for employment. Good luck. 23H00 curfew on the computer... ouch!!!! I couldn't live with that curfew. It would be far worse than being grounded. No, being grounded would mean *no* computer. In all reality, it's almost a good thing that he has to sign off so early, because that means I'm more likely to go to sleep at a reasonable hour myself, and as a result get up at a reasonable hour. I'm almost surprised that he's not online now, but he's probably just spending time with his family. My grounded was thinking you could not go out, not *no* computer. That would be really, really awful!!! Yeah for a few good night's sleep!!!

The person or people who stole the hedgehog probably don't know how to take care of it and I pray, will not let it go loose outside, as it will surely die. Of course, they have no place to turn it in if they wanted to because then they would get in trouble for stealing. This is such a sad situation. Hedgehogs need special food for their diet and it is not something that someone has in their refrigerator. I would contact all the pet stores in the area for someone coming in and asking for hedgehog food. Perhaps the pet stores can be of assistance in helping you find it. Doubtful.

We all appreciate and enjoy your words of wisdom. Sorry to hear your 'butt' is in pain. Stop back soon and post more little jewels. We will be looking forward to your next post.

This should be the opening for a great book!!! *cough, cough* Start writing.

You got an A in differential equations, your freshman year. That's more mind blowing than all of my A's combined. @_@ I guess that shows even more that I chose the right major! For math next year, in the fall I'll do linear algebra (which I was supposed to do this semester but it was canceled Isn't registration fun?) and in the spring I will take structures & proofs and abstract algebra. lol my dad *hated* linear algebra. I cant do all that insane math stuff. I love math and really loved linear algebra. Jesse, you are going to really enjoy this class. Hope it is not cancelled again.

Write it down. *sends Arkcher a note pad and pencil for alongside his computer*

I was bad at competitive sports as well... hamsters are good at running, which I was, but not fast. Ghetto kickball sounds fun.

Fencing would be great if it was taught. I agree... it should be offered.

Taynio... hello again.

A video of you and the steer would have been great, followed by one with the lamb and the goat. Awesome first in the pig arena! Sounds like you had a pretty good weekend after all.
