St. John is the most beautiful place on earth! That vacation was great. Sure, there were a few bumps in the road. Did anyone expect my family to get along entirely well for 8 days straight? We're not the Brady Bunch! But all in all the vacation was great. The scenery is beautiful. The water is so blue and there are palm trees and iguanas everywhere. It is certainly tropical. Every day, we went to the beach and snorkeled. In the evening, we went into the little town and had dinner and did a little shopping. The island of St. John is a U.S. territory and there are only 5,000 people who live there year round. The island is only 9 miles long. It's really small but it's so neat and relaxing. I saw soooo many fish including pufferfish, squid, sting rays, starfish, parrotfish, etc. What was most interesting is hearing the stories of people who live there and how they got to be there. This one guy went to William and Mary and then to Ward's school of bussiness and was on the fast track of some big New York City company. So he was some awesome business man. He was at a business meeting in Hawaii and said to his buddy "I don't want to do this anymore." Two weeks later he quit his job and went to Florida where he stayed at the Biltmore Hotel for a while. Then he bought a sail boat and headed out for St. John and he's never looked back. I just thought that was a cool story. So now I'm really tan (really tan for me is slightly tan for a normal person) and I got my hair corn rowed. Go ahead and laugh if you want but I like my hair!!! The only bad part of the trip was getting there. The flights weren't bad, they were just long and took up a whole day. So now I'm back and I'm bored already. Back to reality. I have to start working and filling out more forms and such for college. Oh well. It's nice to be in my own bed and to see my friends, especially the ones who are kind enough to want to see me. Yeah...on the plane from St. Thomas to Atlanta, I kept thinking about how great it will be to see a certain person and how much I miss this person, let's call them Sinead O'Conner. After a phone call, I came to find Sinead has other plans with another girl and really doesn't give a shit about seeing me or even asking me how the trip was. By the way, this other girl hates my guts but has a thing for Sinead...let's call her dAFT. So I'm feeling a little peeved but I decide to go to a graduation party to hang out with my friends, away from angry thoughts about Sinead. Just as I'm heading out the door, Sinead calls to say "I'm going to the same party as you with two other girls! Just thought you'd like to know." GRRRR Like showing up to a party with other girls only to stay a few moments before buzzing off to a party to get a buzz is going to make me smile. So Sinead, dAFT, and an obnoxious girl, let's call her DW, show up. Sinead still does not know I am mad but my good friend Timmy quickly and directly informs Sinead. Sinead doesn't get why I'm mad. And dAFT is sitting right next to Sinead so I can't very well explain why. So Sinead and his women are going to leave and Sinead stays back a bit to talk with me and ask me what is wrong. Sinead has the nerve to bring a charge against me for not calling him on the trip when I was in a different freaking country. Just as I'm about to explain things to Sinead, DW and dAFT yell at him every two seconds to leave so he must obey those girls over me, apparently, because he leaves quickly without so much as a hug. And he still does not get why I'm mad. Boys are so fucked up. I'd say lesbians have the right idea, but they have to date people like dAFT. Ewww. I don't know anyone who would touch that with a 10 and a half foot pole. But I like to turn things like that into the positive...maybe incidents like this will make it much easier for me to leave and forget Sinead come August. And I had fun at the party otherwise this debauchle.
I want to be back on the beach where it's warm and lovely. Anyone want to come with me?

AFT!!!!!!!!!! i so was going to call you and tell you there has been an AFT siting but i remembered that you were gone and it would sound really weird if i just left you a message saying that i saw AFT. well, you know. so if oconner gives you any more trouble, just know that you always have friends to fall back on and i will always be there for you. so, yeah. well, im going to end it here but ill see you tomorrow! later!
