The Daily Journal of an Average Teenaged Girl

Entry #34: 4-5-14

Sorry this entry is a day late. I had a pretty good day yesterday.

---

I woke up around 9am, and played around on my phone until around 10:30. Then the doorbell rang, so I got curious. It was for John. But it was probably for some bullshit reason because we sent them off.

When I was going down the stairs, I heard a baby. I totally forgot! John's sister and his nephew was going to be here this morning. The kid was adorable. There are too many babies being brought into my life because now I want my own! Obviously I don't intend on making my own, hell no. Plus, who would the daddy be?? Haha.

Anyway, I was on my way to David's house around 11:45 or so. But he was out shopping for stuff, and he was all paranoid about it. I told him it's okay and don't hurry up because of me. I love being outside!

I am so jealous about where he lives. To me, he lives in the most perfect place you can be. Right next to a lake, the trees are tall and beautiful, and nothing blocks you from seeing the sky. Not only that, but right next to your field of nature, you have neighbors too. And the school is only a little over a mile away. This is exactly type of place I would want to raise my kids at.

Sitting in his front yard, by my choice, brought back some memories. I remember when I was a small child, when I lived at my Grandmother' house, I used to play in the dirt and grass, and try to find worms, and befriend the flies. I was not your average little girl. So sitting in his yard of grass and sticks and leaves and such, I felt at home. I loved the nature.

He finally arrived home, and I smiled at him as he pulled up the driveway. I guess he had to finish some project for school. I would have felt bad, but when I learned it was technically a Arts-'n-Craft project, I wanted to help! We walked inside, and he told me all of the things he needed to do, and what the project was for.

I did two things. I designed a bottle, and I crafted a rocket out of styrofome. In my opinion, I like my rocket the best. But he loves the bottle most of all. You know, just having fun with homework. I was completely cool with it. Afterwards we went outside to have a bit of fun.

First we played horseshoes. I completely forgot how to play it. So he taught me. We played two games that went up to 5. I won one that was 5-4. He one the other one with 5-0. He dominated me. Then we played a few ball games. His mom then said for him to start a fire, so they can burn some stuff. Not only does he have my heart, so does his home!! I LOOOVVEE fire. And he has a flippin fire pit! In his backyard!! Grr.

It was during that time that we decided that we were going to the dam in our town. Why? Because I've never been there. Of course his little brother wanted to come along. Ugh. Don't get me wrong. I love that little guy. But he's way too inappropriate for these things. And he doesn't like to listen.

When we got there, I saw that people were fishing. I didn't know you could go fishing!!! David was a fisher too. He suggested that we can go back and get the stuff, but I said we can enjoy the dam a bit more. We sat on piles of rocks, and it was pretty nice. We were throwing rocks and stuff. And took some pictures. It was really fun! Then we decided to go back and get the fishing stuff. His brother said he didn't want to come back after that. That made me a bit happy. But when we started getting all of the stuff, he changed his mind. Damnit. And just 20 minutes in, he got bored. Of course.

So when we were all done fishing, we went on a 2 mile walk, that I suggested, and was determined, to go on. All of it was beautiful. The nature. Aww man! And I was reeaall slow. Although I did have a walking stick. I took a ton of pictures. And one time, when his brother was far ahead of us, we got on the conversation of my dating rules. He continued asking me for my rules. He seemed to be interested for some reason. Maybe because it's me, and I want to date him? Oh well.

I felt GREAT when we finished. I felt healthy and accomplished. David promised me when my ankle was fully healed, we will go there alone. We both want to walk and bike the whole thing together.

When we got back to his house at 7:55. And his mom and I were talking about movies. They were all surprised that I hadn't watch certain movies that they loved. So they made me watch 'Here Comes the Boom'. And half way through the movie, I decided to lie on David. We were kind of cuddling, I guess. I made sure he was comfortable though. So we were both comfy. And his brother teased us and said something like, "Come on! Cuddle closer! Kiss!" He's 11. David told him to shut up, an I sighed. See what I mean by, he's too inappropriate? He needs to calm his shit. Ugh.

But I almost fell asleep on David. He didn't seem to mind. When it was finally time to go, I slowly got up. I didn't want to go. But I had to. And his mom made me take home two movies too. I'm not sure when I'm going to watch them, but, you know, I'll try. When he drove me home, we talked about random stuff, and we took the long way to my house. When we got on my driveway, I was too stubborn to get out. And we talked some more. We were there for like, 20 minutes. But I did have to let him go. So I left the car. Collin apparently wanted to say hi to him, but I suspect something else. But whatever. When I got inside, I bid everyone goodnight, and went to bed. I was tired!! At least I got to bed with a smile!

Keep Smiling!!
