All I Ask of You - Andrew Lloyd Webber

Vacation finally! So excited. Except… tomorrow I’m making 11 pies… what have I signed myself up for. Well, whatever, I’m making serious money off this… I just have to figure out some way to peel 54 apples and still have functional hands. But I had fun at Borders today. I like Borders, except it’s kind of expensive, $16 for the paperback book I wanted… nah. I got SAT prep books with like 23498734 pages more than that for only $20 so… no.

But I’m really excited though, I get to see mi familia that live in New Hampshire. Pretty awesome, I love it up there. There’s something about being in literally the middle of nowhere with some of the craziest people in the world that makes me happy. What’s really weird is, until really recently, I didn’t really value my family as much as I do know I guess. I mean, my dad’s side of the family is so spread out throughout the country so I never see them and my mom’s family is in a feud basically (not like Family Feud, soo unlike Family Feud) which sucks. So know when ever I get to see anyone I’m related to, I guess I appreciate it more. Heartfelt, I know.

Sometimes, I wish you could just walk up to people and tell them how you really feel or just say whatever’s on your mind. That would be awesome. The book I’m reading Just Listen by Sarah Dessen, or rereading rather, is about this girl that’s been through shit (she’s been raped, her sister has an eating disorder, her mother had a depressive episode etc.) meets this guy named Owen (<3) who’s really into music and kind of like “teaches” her how to tell the truth. It’s not like she’s a compulsive liar or anything, it’s just that she, like all of us is “nice” and doesn’t tell people the full truth all the time. For example, when her mom’s like “how was school” and she had a bad day, she’d be like “oh it was fine.” Wouldn’t it just be great to be like “well mom, to tell you the truth, I literally had one of the worst days of my life, my friends are all annoying, I basically failed a math test and I can’t tell if this guy I know is straight or not” or something like that, you know, typical stuff. I think it’d be cool.

Also, town meeting was soo disappointing. Not even a single funny question. But I mean, it got me out of 10 minutes of ever class, so I’m not complaining that much.
