where are we runnin' (ooh we ooh we ooh)

Even though it's been a really long time, I still didn't write about the last week of school and even though everyone tells me I write too much and I shouldn't write about every little thing, I'm doing it anyway because it was a blast and I want to remember it.

My cousin Alyssa came that weekend and on Monday my friend Ally from FL came over to hang out with us for a little. Then Lindsay came and we went to get our yearbooks which are pretty cool. That night, my family and Alyssa's family (well just her parents and mine) went out to eat and then we just took a little ride. Oh wonderful...I can't remember what I did on Tuesday at all. I know it was the last full day of school and that I did something after so...I'll just ask someone and then come back and edit it in. I'm not sure what day it was, but during this week, I asked me and Linds' favorite teacher (hahaha) to sign my yearbook and he saw this thing that Lindsay drew and I put a post-it note over that Lindsay wrote "CAUTION" on and of course he took it off and read/saw it. It's like this perverted little drawing of a stick person with a...I guess it's a pizza with steam coming off of it...I'm not even gonna try to describe, you just have to see it to get it. But yeah, it said that kid's initials beside it (inside joke) and the teacher saw it! And it was in the class that I have with that kid too! And since it was the end of the year, everyone was watching a movie and Mr. L yells out, "Jess! What is this?!?!? Who drew that!?!?" So I told him Lindsay drew it and he was like making this huge deal out of it and everyone was looking. Oh geeze, just kill me now.

On Wednesday me, Kim, Lindsay, Erin, and Ally went out to eat at Panera's...aweeeesome. Then I took them all home and then me and Ally just hung out at my house and then I brought her home that night. It was also our first day of finals. They weren't too bad. Oh yeah, I was also supposed to get that kid to sign my yearbook but of course I'm freaking chicken and didn't do it but I'll get back to that in a little. Thursday was more finals and then me and Mel went and met a whole bunch of people at this pizza place for lunch and then I took Mel home. I called Kim and we decided to out driving around. We just drove all over the place, and of course went to Wal-Mart like we always do. Then we went to Rachel's house and "visited" her...that kid works right behind her house and we thought we might see him there so she let us come over. We were kidding around and saying that he was gonna be outside and then Rachel goes over to the window and she closes it really quick and jumps back and is like "OMG, he's RIGHT outside the window!" so I didn't believe her and we look and there he working right near her house. That was pretty funny, then we left at like the time he got off of work and we saw him going home, oh how exciting.

On Friday, aka the last day of school (tear tear, sniffle sniffle), after school me, Sam, Jen, and Mel went out for lunch again and then Mel came over for a little bit and we just hung out. I probably did something that night but I really don't remember what it was. Probably whined and complained that that kid didn't sign my yearbook. Oh yeah, we went over to where Ally and her mom were staying and babysitting her cousin and just hung out and played with him. On Saturday I probably worked or maybe me and Kim went stalking...I mean driving around again. On Sunday I went to the mall with Ally and her mom and her little cousin and my mom then we went to Wal-Mart and that's about it. On Monday I had to be at school very very early in the morning for this teacher breakfast thing. It was actually kinda cool to be back at school because I'm a loser and I miss(ed) it. Then Rachel, Amy, and I just talked in the parking lot for like a long time. Then I had to go to Wal-Mart to buy some stuff and then I came home and called Ally and we hung out at her house and then we went out to eat at none other than Fuddruckers (or Ruddfuckers as Lindsay calls it).

Tuesday. That was the big day. If I'm not mistaken I picked Kim up and we went stalking and somehow wound up going to Rachel's to get ice cream with her and Tonya. Then Tonya had to go home but we stayed and just watched TV until her stepmom got home. We didn't even try it, but once again we left right about the same time as that kid leaves work. So we figured he would be behind us, but we didn't see him, so we went past my house on the way to drop Kim off. So then we come out at the red light and Kim's house is straight and the road that he would've been coming from is to the right and who's there while we're at the red light? Yeppers. We couldn't just go home and pass up this oppurtunity, especially since I was leaving the next day for vacation so we turned and he was RIGHT behind us the whooooole way down the road to the next light, which we had to sit at twice because of the old grandpa in front of us. It was pretty funny with him behind us because usually it's the other way around and Kim was acting all goofy and turning around and putting the radio up loud and sticking stuff out the window. Too bad I didn't have my yearbook with me :(

So we went a different way because I didn't want to like drive past his house with him right behind us and then we came around and he wasn't there...he already went inside. So I took Kim home and decided to take a little ride before I went home for the night. So I go by his house and I didn't see anyone outside, thank God but when I looked in the rearview mirror he was on the side of his car getting in! So I turned and called Kim on my cell phone because I had to tell her. So I hang up with her and I'm on my way home (NOT going by his house...I was going the normal way) and I'm on the road where it's relatively straight and flat and who do I see coming in the distance. I almost had a freaking heart attack, which happens quite often. So yeah, I could see him coming from pretty far away and I'm guessing he could see me coming too. And it looked like I was going back past his house or something! And I wasn't, tear tear.

So Wednedsay I left for England. It's gonna look really odd that I write about all this stupid small stuff and only a little about England, but there just isn't much to say that happened. Flying wasn't so bad...it was actually pretty cool and I got to watch movies whoo hoo! I got there Thursday afternoon their time so we just slept. We went to London one day which was pretty cool except for all the boring history kinda stuff...but still very beautiful. I like cities. Ha. We also went to Brighton which is sorta like the beach there...well it's the coast line and it's really pretty there. They have a pier there which I guess is kinda their "boardwalk" with arcades and rides and food places and stuff. Very cool though, all big "beach" houses and stuff. We also went to her parents house and I got to go to a real pub, not that exciting. Oh, I forgot, in London we went to the wax museum which was awesome! Next time I go to New York I'm definitely gonna go to the one there...I have some pictures from there but I definitely wish I could've/would've taken more. Oh, the best part was when we went to Paris. We only got to go for the day and our time was limited but it was definitely cool. We went up the Eiffel Tower and I took coolio pictures from the top. We saw the real Mona Lisa. Stuff like that. The city is also very cool because it kinda reminds me of New York except without all the showiness. It's a very busy city, but it's not all big ads everywhere and big skyscrapers, it's just very chill and cool and I really really wanna go back there. I ate French fries too...real ones!! That's about it for the trip really. So yeah, it was cool and if you wanna see my picture let me know. Oh, and ask me about Stuart. Ha.

I think I'm gonna save all the awesome stuff that happened when I came back for my next entry. And I promise promise promise that I'll write it within the next day or two. Definitely by Monday because I'll probably wind up writing it tomorrow night which is technically Monday morning if you're going by clocks. Hahaha.

Oh, before I go I wanted to just write something about this really quick. This entry is pretty happy and upbeat, but I'm actually a little bummed right now. I guess I'm thinking about stuff, like maybe a person that I don't wanna be thinking about but I am and it's driving me mad. There isn't even any reason for it at all. I guess because we're not in school anymore and I haven't gotten to see that other kid I'm getting bored with thinking about him and my thoughts just head right on over to that other person. It also doesn't help that he lives right near the other kid and whenever we go stalking/driving whatever the hell we do, we have to go past his house. Whatever, I guess it just reminds me of him or something. Nobody else really understands either because I don't even understand it. So I can't even talk about it because, I don't even know why. But I guess I'm done for tonight. I think I'll go watch Kill Bill since I'm bored and very un-tired.

Love, *Me*
