P.S.

I forgot to write about my time at my grandparents house. Well I went to my grandparents almost immediately after I got home to help them take out their docks because they're kind of elderly and can't do it. So I went with Kate, and my dad and we did so. I've never taken out docks before and it was definitely a new thing and I was just trying to get the job done and we did so all is good but geez, docks are heavy.

So after that we went and Kate and I picked some apples for th deer and we actually ate a couple of the good ones and they were pretty good. So then Kate and I took a golf cart ride down the road way past Starks. It was getting dark out because the sun was setting and the freakiest thing happened. When we reached the top of the hill I stopped to look at the red sun setting because it was so gorgeous and just at that same moment Kate and I realized something we were looking at. This fire red tree right in front of the sun setting, the only open spot we could really find to watch the sunset and it looked exactly, down to the tee like the tree from the Ring, the one that was on fire and as we watched the sun through it it looked like it was on fire and at the same moment we pointed at the tree and said "That looks like the tree from The Ring" and so I floored it back to grandmas house which was a couple of miles away. Ok, I'll admit the movie, The Ring didn't scare me as much as I thought it was really gross and interesting somehow but when I saw that tree I freaked and I felt this wierd feeling like icicles breaking inside of me.

So then after we got home we ate pork or beef or whatever that was, potatoes, and gravy, carrots, homemade bread, and applesauce. Dinner was great... it always is at my grandparents. You know how grandmas can always cook everything just right. Well after that my dad informed my grandma I was having a party tomorrow and that my new boyfriend would be there, indicating Zack and he looked at me and smiled meliciously and said "He's what 11, or 12?" and grandma completely ignored him and turned to me and said "Oh Great! Is he nice and cute?" and I was in shock by then but I made a point to kick my dad in the leg when he made fun of Zack. So then I finally became aware enough to actually say something and I started with a defense of "He's 14 and-" and then Kate cut in finishing my sentence "and they're not going out". So then grandma was like oh ok. It was so funny that she was so amused by the fact of a new bf.

*sigh* I just got done talking to Phil again and he explains it as Zack's fault for being a *profanity I don't wish to disclose* and he's mad at me for being selfish and choosing someone I like over a friend although we were always acquaintances. I've known Zack about 2 months, if that and Phil for at least a year and I would choose liking Zack over being Phil's "friend" any day. Now that I've written 3 entries and it's techincally tomorrow, 12 am I'd better be getting to sleep.
