my step-dad's cousin from England has been here for 9 days and he already knows me better than my parents do. it's kind of sad really, but it's nice to have an adult to be able to talk to without the fear of getting reprimanded.

so last night after Market we all went to One Mile to go swimming. there were a lot of people there (which is odd) but we had a good time. after midnight (aka after Ryan officially turned 18) we went to a gas station so Ryan could buy Royston a pack of cigarettes haha. then we drove up to Lookout Point and played Truth or Truth (Truth or Dare minus the dare because we were on a cliff) for hours. and the view of the stars was absolutely incredible. I wish I could have stayed there all night.

oh, and I'm not going to school next semester; I have to get a job (fine by me, I've been wanting one for ages). but the sucky part is I'll only be able to use the car (which my parents are FINALLY insuring) for work purposes and I have to pay for my own gas and part of the insurance. I don't know. I'm just looking at it as life experience :]
