Since Altariel has begged me, I must post. It has been a terribly long time, though. Thanks for the reminder, Altariel!!!  Actually, I was planning on it soon anyway. Ready for a scatter-topic post?

Warning: this is going to sound pathetic, but sorry. You don't have to read it. I would like to ask for suggestions on how to talk to a girl my age who is really quiet around me. She is almost exactly my age, and comes to my church every Sunday morning, but the similarities end about there. She goes to public school, so topics about HS are out. She doesn't really play any musical instruments, so that is out. I don't really know much about her, but she is really quiet (around me -- she has friends from public school), so it is hard to get her to talk! PLEASE, someone, give me suggestions or conversation starters?

I really want to become friends with her. Partly because I don't have any friends "my age" here, and also because she is getting to the age where she will not want to keep coming to church anymore, if there is nothing to interest her there (she comes with her dad and two younger siblings). So, if we became friends, I could keep her wanting to come to church. I know, not the best reason to get someone to come to church (and don't you think it's a bit conceited?). But please. Help me!

Maybe you would like an update on my life. Well, I finished school several weeks ago, which "officially" makes me a "highschooler." But Mom wants us girls to keep doing math through the summer so we can remember it when we start up again, and also so we will have something to do. I guess it's not that bad. And I DO need something good to do though the summer. Otherwise, my mom will hear a lot of "Is there some job you want me to do?" from me. At least that is better than sleeping in to 11. Actually, I'm getting up at/around 6. YES!

My mom had to go to Wal*Mart today. We are also going to make me another jumper (yay), so we had to go to the fabric store, too. I really didn't want to go. 1.) Because I have such a hard time finding the *perfect* material at our little fabric store. 2.) Because I do not like shopping at Wal*Mart. There is way too much stimuli in there for my poor little brain to handle. I felt like I was in a daze for most of the time. Yep, that is how I felt! LOL. I was thinking about how I must look to everyone else there. I mean, a Christian should have a smile on her face, right!?! I was too tired and dazed to feel happy.

Plus I have a cold, so my nose has been running and running. So I am quite the case today. But you know, it hasn't been that bad of a day, actually! I got my violin practiced before lunch. I have all of my chores done. And I am working on yet ANOTHER story. I think it will be a good one. I hope I will stay interested.

Well, that's it. More in another post sometime.
