I am still trying to read my summer reading books, but it is a very painful experience. I can't stand going through the awfulness of some of these very bad books. I wish I could pick my own summer reading. At least I would get something that would interest me that way. I don't want to go back to school anymore. There's just way too many things to do, and the summer is flying by much too quickly. I need more time so that I can read those books! I'm trying really hard not to put everything off until the last minute, as I have done almost every other summer.
Jackie called my cellphone tonight, but I didn't pick it up in time. I called her back after that, but there was no answer at all. Then she called me back. I asked her why she called me in the first place, and she said that I had called her. Well, let's just say that we didn't have all that much to say to one another. I felt kind of bad, but I was half trying to have a little bit of a conversation, and she wasn't trying at all. I don't know anymore...I just don't know. I guess it could have been an accident that she called, but it's just too weird. It's getting so hard to keep friends now, and I don't know why. I don't know who's changed more...me or them? I know I try to be the same girl that I've always been, but they seem different to me. Maybe we're all changing, and our interests and lifestyles just aren't compatible anymore. I really don't want it to be that way, but I guess it just happens. And there's not all that much you can do about it. You can try to hold things together, but sooner or later it will fall apart, despite your efforts. Not all friendships are forever. In fact, very few friendships have the potential to last forever. Sure, it's all about what you make of it, but let's remember that a friendship involves two people. If the other person isn't keeping up on their part...well, let's just say that this hypothetical 'ship' is going to sink. I try not to be too mellodramatic about these situations, but I think it's just something in my nature.
As much as I hate Newbury Comics, I think I am going to go there tomorrow to get some cds. I have a gift certificate to there, and I want to spend it. I think I am going to get the new *nsync cd, and I'm not decided on the other one yet. I had a few choices. I was thinking of either Sugar Ray, Nelly Furtado, or Alicia Keys. I like all of their music, and I don't really have any newer cds, so maybe that would be a good thing. I can't see how music and artists are some people's lives. I mean, I cannot live without music, and I listen to it all of the time, but I hardly ever think of the artist behind the music and just take it for what it is. Maybe this is a bad thing...I'm not so sure.
So, this weekend is the big family reunion. I am so not looking foward to it, simply because I don't want to meet any my relatives, who are probably all old and extremely boring people who are not interested in meeting me either. If there are any cute guys there, with my luck we will be related, and they will not end being the friends of relatives. Oh wait, I must have forgotten. It doesn't matter if there are any cute guys there or not, because cute guys never come up to me. The worst thing has got to be that we are wearing ugly teal t-shirts with a family tree on them. I cannot think of anything worse than that. I would have preferred any color to teal, except maybe for yellow. I don't know why we have to have this event anyway. I can't believe that some relatives are bothering to come up from South Carolina for this. They must be on crack.
We went to the jeweler's today, because my dad broke his chain, and we needed to get it sent out to be fixed. The guy in the jeweler's knows my aunt and uncle, so that was pretty cool. I saw a really beautiful opal ring in there, and my mom was thinking that maybe she could get it for me for a gift for the next big event/holiday that comes up. I would love to have my very own ring, beacause as of now, all I have is her old cladagh ring, which only fits on my smallest finger. Well, I won't hope for anything, because I never know if I will get it or not. I can just hope that maybe it's a possiblity.
Ciao.
