Clouds

September 13th was Dad's birthday. It was fun! We ran around town, had a hilarious shopping trip in Khols, continuously laughed at iHop while trying to eat 'breakfast', and a lot of other fun stuff! I'm really glad that Dad had a good time. I love him so much!

My friend Levi from my old high school has been dropping by my place for a visit for the past two days. It's good to see him again since I don't really see anyone anymore. We just hung out like a couple of normal teens: caused 'trouble,' did random stuff, were easily amused, blah dee blah. Yesterday we were trying to jump into a bush from my swing set out back. We declared that it was better than doing pot. Indeed. Hah! We also listened to a bunch of Oomph! and Ramstein to pass the time. Resident Evil was also a big part of our conversations. Apparently there is a new animated movie coming out WITH LEON S. KENNEDY! I seriously 'squeed' like a rabid fangirl when I saw him in the preview. So sexy. Anyways, I believe the movie is called Resident Evil: Degeneration. I can't wait! Levi and I decided that we're going to go see it together when it comes out. Other than that, we're also going to start learning German together as out 'secret language' since everyone else at school is apparently into their Japanese. Haha. Ah, that Levi. He's a great kid.

Clouds.
As I was lying awake in bed this morning I noticed how the light was changing. I knew that there had to be clouds today. I had been wanting to see them for so very long, and, sure enough, beautiful clouds have been festooning our valley sky today. I love it! It really does make the sky seem endless when there are clouds floating along above. I can't get enough of it.

The ocean is where I want to be. I've decided that when I'm ready to be on my own, I'm moving somewhere by the coast. I would absolutely love to have an art studio that overlooks the sea. It would be gorgeous!

Speaking of art studios, the remodeling on our house is going well. The speed is somewhat slow at the moment due to work, but it is coming along nicely. It'll be totally worth the wait in the long run. I plan on turning my new, fresh room into a 1/2 typical teenage bedroom, 1/2 in-home art studio. I don't have a lot of room, but I'll cope. I've already drawn some 'blue prints,' too.

When my room is done...I am totally putting the candle I bought from Levi's fundraiser in there. Ah, the smell of fresh sheets! I hope purchasing that candle will succeed in getting Levi to Europe!
