I guess I don't have that much to write about. I haven't posted in a while though.
"How is your summer going, Clare?"
It's going great, thanks for asking! I went to Wenatchee, where three of my friends and I went to the waterslides. Well, the waterslides were actually in Chelan, but we stayed at Natalie's grandma's house in Wenatchee. She goes over there all the time, because a bunch of her family lives there, and this time she convinced her mom to take us along. It was fun. I got this ridiculous looking sunburn on my back, because my friend Natalie (this is a different Natalie; 2 of my best friends have that name) did not do a very good job with the sunscreen.
Me: "Are you SURE you got it all?"
Natalie: "I'm POSITIVE. If you get burned, you can slap me."
I did end up slapping her, but I was lying on the ground at a weird angle and she was standing up so it was more of a weird awkward pat.
Oh, and Natalie C's grandma doesn't speak English, so that was a liiiittle awkward... her mom speaks both English and Spanish; I'm pretty sure she came to America when she was 12 or so. Her mom, not her.
Speaking of grandparents, mine got here today from Kansas! They drove up here and visited some places on the way, and they're giving us their blue van and flying back in a few days.. or a week.. actually I have no idea how long. And buying a new car. We might sell our red minivan... I hope not though, because then I can drive it and my mom can have my grandparents' car. :) Well actually I already drive it, but I can't some of the time because it's my mom's car. I'm going to start teaching piano lessons soon, so I could pay for gas.
Anyway, about a week ago my sister and I got back from the East Coast. Usually our whole family goes, but we couldn't afford it this year with the house remodel and the economy and all. We weren't going to go at all, but my two aunts have frequent flier miles that they said my sister and I could use. (Apparently you can give them to people? I have no clue how it works.) But they offered to fly us over there, so we did. My dad's family all lives on the East Coast, and they have a beach house on the Jersey shore. So we went there for a few days, and then my aunt took us to NYC and we saw South Pacific!! It was amazing. We ate dinner there and then my aunt drove us to her house in Philly. She lives a few blocks from the Liberty Bell, and her house was in the movie National Treasure! You know the part where they're being chased and they're running on top of the houses? It's one of those.
So, now I'm back, and I'm not doing much for the rest of the summer, except for BAND CAMP!! :P Oh, and I'm working on my piece. I'm making progress, but I still have a really long way to go.
Oh, I saw INCEPTION!! AMAZING MOVIE. SEE IT. I've seen it twice, and it was even better the second time. Mostly because the plot is really confusing and I caught a lot more of the details the second time around. I am seeing for the third time later today. :D
Oh, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt? You are ridiculously attractive. Juuuust sayin'.
Okay, my friends should be here any minute so I better go. This post has actually been stretched out over a long period of time, and I'm just now finishing it.
