<pre style="line-height: 17px; white-space: normal;">Back to the old rutine. Can't say I'm thrilled.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />Sitting up all night in the nearest pub or Tex-Mex joint we can find.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />Mom focused on work.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />Dad trying to plan out the rest of our week.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />Emmie focused on her latest handheld video game.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />I'm not sure if you've read my other books, but if you HAVE, then you remember how I mentioned me raising myself.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />We're back to that.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />Can't really say I hate it. It's nice sometimes. <br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />Like in France, I carried my sketch book around EVERYWHERE. <br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />Drew some of my best work.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />Italy and Spain, I had my camera. <br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />Beautiful shots of water and Spanish culture.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />Right now we've taken the Tex Mex food route, with two of moms work buddies.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />I'm reading a book.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />Exiting, right?<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />I like it though.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />I've learned my street smarts this way.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />I learned to handle bar fights, drunk adults, and people that don't speak English.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />Witch basically is where I learned to kick ass, be responsible, and deal with stupid people.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />Looking forward to it.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />You know what else I'm looking forward to?<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />Tomorrow.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />My mom set me up on a blind date of sorts.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />Due to my extreme lack of friends, and the fact that her work friend has a 13 year old girl that's going to the mall with friends tomorrow, I'm going too.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />I don't know this girl, her parents, her friends, or even her name.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />Hopefully all will work out for the better.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />Well, iPods about to die, <br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />That's all for now,<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />Jynn Schubert </pre>
