Sorry for the lack of updates here lately. It's been a really fun summer so far.
#1 thing I’ve learned this summer-for some reason the day boys get their paychecks their way more generous.
Jake started dating Amanda (yes, Troy's Girlfriend, yes, that's his "best friend" and yes, they broke up like 3 days before us) the last week of school. Whatever, I was a little ticked when I first heard about it, but I got over it real fast, I had plenty of other stuff to occupy my mind with. Everyone else couldn't get over it though, people asked me about it and talked to me about it everyday for like a week straight, and it drove me nuts! I don't really care, it’s his life, and I’m not in it anymore so why should I care? I can just hope he's happy, and He seems like he is…so…um…yay.
On top of everyone bothering me about that crap^ All these rumors got started towards the end of school about me and Ben Dennis, which totally sucked! Apparently I made out with him or something while he and his last girlfriend were together and I’m why they broke up. After that I'm going to be very careful who I accept rides home with 'cause that’s how it all got started. Rides home = Makin’ Babies.
The first Saturday after school let out (May 28) I went to Catherine's Graduation/Birthday party with Jay. It was pretty hot, met some cool people: Brad, Sean, and Phil. I've hung out with Brad and Sean almost every night since then. The day after the party I saw Brad and Sean again at Abby's Graduation Party (also a hot party) that night I went with them to meet up with their youth group and see Star Wars, It was pretty cool. I met their cool friend Andrew. I definitely didn't pay for my ticket either so that was nice.
The next night me, Lanie, Lindz-O, and Sean met up at the pool hall and hung out there till it closed then we wanted ice cream (but not Coldstone, you only get their over priced crap when he's paying) so we drove around and discovered that Kernersville is closed at 10 and coldstone is the only ice cream place open to 10:30pm but by the time we got over there and met up w/ brad it had just closed and sitting at the tables in front were some kids it turns out me brad and Sean had in common. We decided to go to the FOOD LION next door and bought a $2.50 carton of ice cream and got free sporks. All 5 of us sat on 4 chairs around my table in the back yard and ate straight out the carton and talked all night, soon the left over Chinese food from me, Lanie and Lindz’s dinner was gone and me and Lindz-o decided we wanted coffee-yum-brad got his first cup EVER. The boys left at like 3:30am in the morning.
The next day was pretty boring other then brad calling and asking me out on a date for the next day. That night Lanie came over and soon we were joined by Ben for a little while then Sean and Brad came and we all went and got Zack’s yogurt and hung out in my back yard again.
The next day: Me and Brad's First Date, Picked me up at 6:30pm, Dinner at Olive Garden and then back to his house to watch movie but we realized we didn't have enough time since i had to be home at 10 b/c i hade to catch a 6:30am flight the next day (Cali baby) so we discovered Salad Fingers "you taste like sunshine dust." We shared our first kiss-yay!
Left that Thursday for a few days in Cali visiting the Grandparents and various other people, saw Rick Springfield in concert, went garage sale shopping, saw sisterhood of the Traveling pants, and was further convinced my family is nuts. Got back on Monday and went straight to Lanie’s house from the airport hung out w/ Lanie and Lindz there went home the next morning and brought Lanie and Lindz w/ me. We cleaned up the house for Lindz's birthday party there later that week and then we went out to dinner w/ Sean, Brad and Andrew. Lindz had to leave after dinner then the rest of us went back to Brad’s and played Scene It, it was fun. (SAY ANTHING!) It totally forget what happened the next day o yea Lanie got her license an drove me around doing chores for mom then we went shopping at same w/ Lindz and her mom for stuff for the party
The next day i spent getting ready for Lindz’s b-day party that night Joe helped a whole lot, I love that kid! that night was cool except for the 5 mins I spent being "anti social" or whatever. Super fun though, Mom called Phil hot. U can read more about it here. Their was lots of licking for some reason. The end of the night found me, Lindz, Lanie, Sean and brad snuggled together in my bed.
The next day me and Lindz went to the lake with my church and afterwards hung out w/ brad and Sean till 3 in the morning, fun stuff.
The Next week was mostly a blur of hanging out w/ Lanie, Lindz, Sean, Brad and Andrew at various places until mostly late at night or early morning depending on how you look at it.
People came over to swim and stuff a few times and I saw Phil once or twice. One Night we went to the movies and ran into some people from school and Kerron and Justin Craven came back to the house and hung out w/ us. Me Justin and Kerron ended up snuggling all on the same lawn chair at like 4 in the morning.
Tuesday June 21st-Joe's Going Away Party
Sadness. Met some cool people though. Cool guy named Nick. Fun stuff. Kissed Joe (He's my one and Only. duh.) and wrote him a long letter about how lucky I am to know a Mormon like him. Even if he did hit on Lindz.
After the party which ended rather early (Joe had an early flight) Me, Lindz, Andrew, Lanie, Sean and Brad got McDonalds and went to my house. Shortly I discovered in fact I wanted Arbys. Then I kicked Brad out of my house and then I had the pleasure of having "the talk" w/ him (on the way to and from Arby's of course) It ended in disaster and awkwardness.
The next night I went over to Sean's House to wish him good bye since he was leaving to counsel at a camp for a month the next day, Andrew and their friend Caroline was there. Brad unexpectly came over also, awkward to no end. After I stole a pair of Sean's shorts Andrew drove me to Lanie's house where I spent the night there.
The next night I had a date w/ Phil...El Palenque for dinner then we hung out at Fourth of July Park. We caught 3 crawdads-Astrid, Billy-Bob, and Fluffy. we also Walked around and played on the swings. I had a pretty good time. I was home by 9 (with no good night kisses) and then Lindz, Lanie, Andrew and a Awkward Brad came over, at 2 am in the morning i was exactly where i wanted to be, with Brad on my back porch looking at the stars while laying in very comfy lawn chairs. The next night me Lanie and brad went to Hams and to play pool and aimlessly drove around K-Vegas. The next day Brad left for the beach for a week and mom and Maddie went to Bermuda for the weekend. I and Dad did yard work and bonded, we never talk. The next few days were low key and full house work, with Lindz at her dads and Sean and brad gone too. K-Vegas was pretty boring.
Friday, July 1st- Amandine Arrived from France I met her in the DC airport and flew back to Greensboro w/ her. She's staying with us for about 2 weeks and then I'm going home with her to France for about 2. She’s super sweet.
Brad stopped by on the 1st for a like 15 minute’s b/c he got home that day. It was really cool to see him even for a little while. Cheri came into town too.
The next day, Saturday, My Grandma Joe, her Best Friend Joan and my Aunt Dot came into town for the weekend. I and Amandine went with Andrew, Lanie, Brad and this cool kid named Daniel to Play Laser Tag in celebration of Andrew's 19th Birthday, that's some fun stuff.
Sunday we went to church and that Afternoon we had a Huge Party at the house complete with Fireworks. Illegal Fireworks. It was so much fun lots of people were there. There was swimming, food, fun, family, friends, and fireworks. Which are all Great American Traditions and Values.
The next day everyone from out of town left. Me and Amandine Went to the Warthogs Baseball game with Brad and his family and saw the huge Forth of July fireworks-we had sooo much fun. It's been pretty relaxed since then, Me, Amandine, mom and Maddie went to the mall on Tuesday and yesterday we mostly just laid around and hung out at Lanie’s house. Today were playing poker at Brad's and meeting the famous Mike.
Somewhere in all this I hit Brad in the crotch, Ran into Chris, Got asked if I had any plans for boys after I’m through messing with Brad, Got called a Bitch and drove a car.
3 days till Myrtle Beach with Mom, Donna, Lindz, Lanie and Amandine.
w00t.
If the rest of summer is half as good as the 1st part I should have the time of my life.

Half past twelve
And I’m watching the late show in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowing outside the window as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the phone
There’s not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won’t somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Movie stars
Find the end of the rainbow, with that fortune to win
It’s so different from the world I’m living in
Tired of t.v.
I open the window and I gaze into the night
But there’s nothing there to see, no one in sight
There’s not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won’t somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight...
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight...
There’s not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won’t somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won’t somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
A MAN, Not these Boys Playing Dress Up...
I'M NO ONE'S "BRO"!WTF!

One Step Closer to Adulthood..buying my own Toliet Paper.
Sorry no pictures this entry, I didn't want any proof of this weekend laying around.
It was so strange being in the house alone and stuff.
Thursday Night Jake came over...He had read the previous entry. I’m still not positive what went down that night but I ended up with yogurt.
Friday at school really super sucked If I had heard Jake's name one more time I would have screamed. Friday night I hung out w/ Lanie at the pool hall and after awhile Joe joined us (yes the Mormon you haven't heard about in forever.) It was super fun, I really enjoyed hanging out with Joe, Just as friends. We totally did the whole Karaoke thing. Eric, Sheena and Ryan came up there but barely talked to us, and didn’t even say good bye to us but that’s cool they just said good bye to their pool privileges this summer. Sucks for them. We met some cool people. We definitely dedicated Love Shack to this guy named Jason. (..it’s a little place where me and Jason can get together…) As I was walking in the door that night Jake called and we talked for a little bit. That was cool.
Saturday morning, No Lindsey (weekend in Wilmington) and No Lanie (Carowins) I gardened and cleaned my room and started moving all the stuff put of it since mom wants to paint it. After that I spent the majority of the day on the couch watching Law and Order SVU. Around 6:00 I realized there was zero toilet paper in the house and no toothpaste either. At the same time I also realized… “Wow, I haven’t seen Jay in awhile” (he was the original J by the way) So I called him up and asked told) him to come pick me up so I could go get some toilet paper, toothpaste and some RED lip gloss (I’ve been lusting after a tube of it for weeks now). He said cool and he’d probably leave in about 20 minutes. I estimated about a half hour till he got there and flipped. I still smelled like smoke from the pool hall the night before. I took a quick shower, when I got out I revised my original plan to slip on some sweatpants, and put on the jeans that make my butt look big in a good way and my new green collared shirt. Then I ended up with a few extra minutes and I made my hair look real pretty and put on some makeup. Some may wonder: “why all the extra attention? It’s just Jay.” I just felt like looking pretty I guess for some reason I could tell something cool was about to happen. (Plus, I wanted to look hot w/ another guy in case I ran into Jake or one of his friends..) I was putting the final touches on when Jay got there. We went up to Wal Mart and I got the stuff I needed then I went w/ Jay to the grocery store and Auto Zone. Then he wanted to take me out to dinner (SWEET!) We went to Chili’s (all the way in High Point <-- My old ‘hood’) Country Fried steak..Yum!! Then we went to hang out in front of O’Reily’s Auto Parts--where all the kids w/ cool cars hang out at in High Point. I met a bunch of his friends. When I met this guy named Jon. Jon is hot. I talked to him a bunch when I wasn’t getting stuck in the women’s restroom at race track. I kind of stole his Nesquik Arm Band too. I rolled up to the house in Jay’s car about 12:15 am. I was exhausted.
Sunday Morning Jay picked me up for church and after that a bunch of us went to taco bell and then Kristin, Carley, Craig, Jay and me went to the mall. I got a David Bowie Shirt, 2 pins and a bracelet from hot topic. After that me and Jay needed coffee. We went out to the place in Oak Ridge. YUM! Then on the way back to the house I called up Lanie and Lindsey and invited them over for dinner. So I picked up a $5 pizza on the way home and some lime pepsi. We had a awesome meal. The Jon came over and hung out with us outside for awhile, Lanie and Lindz also fell for him! Who couldn't? He's Super Sweet! Alas, Jon had to go… He Kissed me good bye though! Yay! A little while later lanie and lindz left too…sad. I went to bed early and looked forward to mom coming home. Somewhere around 6:30ish Maddie showed up.
I hardly rember Monday nothing cool happened other than mom coming home, I just worked on my International Relations Project, watched TV and got EL P take out. Today was cool though Jake came over this afternoon and we talked things out were cool now but definitely only friends. Really bad country songs about people leaving each other played as we talked. Then I ordered more pizza.
I <3 THE FAINT.
Night Lovers*-alex-*

Long time no update.
Double date w/ Jake, Troy and Troy's Girlfriend Amanda. Well. Then girlfriend, they broke up last Saturday. We Went to Hooters and T-Roy's House for a bonfire. I had a really good time!
Crazy Saturday Night at Lanie's, same night as Glenn's prom. Jake stopped by in his tux. Very Handsome. Lanie cooked, we ate lots of ice cream and her bro's pizza (he's such a @$$), looked at old pictures, listened to the awesome mixed CD I made for the night, made crazy videos and I sang.
Last week was pretty boring besides hanging out w/ Jake a whole lot.
Spring folly was last weekend it was really big this year I went Friday night w/ Mom, Katrinka and Jake for like a hour and half. Ran into a lot of people including Joe. That was awkward.
I went again on Saturday night w/ Lanie , Jake, Chris and Jake's Bro. We Talked to tons of people and me and Lanie each got fireman hats and we bought a candy apple for lindz-0.
It was really fun.
On Mothers day I went Bike riding w/ mom, Maddie, our neighbors Lindsey and Claudia, and Nancy a friend of our. (just the girls) we rode 21 miles round trip to go eat a Salem tavern. I was sooo sore, I haven't been on a bike in like 5 or 6 years. I was about to die. I got a really gross bruise too!
Got into a little spat w/ Lanie, Lindz and Mandie yesterday but I think were cool now. I’m not at liberty to discuss it here though.
