I have nothing to do.  I am so bored.  My neighbors came home yesterday because the guy "forgot" to make reservations at Gettysburg, but they're leaving again today.  So, I had to spend pretty much the whole day with Missy.  That totally sucked.  I wanted to freakin' hit her, 'cause she is so annoying.  Me and my dad went on a bike ride and when we were gone, she came over and tried to install a game on our computer, therefore screwing it up in the process.  She just invites herself in, eats all of our food, and then leaves without even saying thank you.  She needs to learn some serious manners.

I am so happy that everything worked out.  Sam had to work, I guess.  He was supposed to call Steph to tell her, but he never did, which I am glad about.  We still went to the mall, anyways, though.  We were supposed to meet at the Bon-Ton at the entrance by JCPenny's, and I thought that was the main entrance, so I stood there for, like, an hour.  Then, my dad came in and said that Steph had called and was waiting inside Bon-Ton.  It was sorta stupid, but I had never been to that mall before, so it's not my fault. 

Anyways, we just walked around for like two hours.  She had her stepsister with her, but she was cool.  I got The Reason by Hoobastank.  Sure, I might only like one song on it, but it was only $14.  Steph got two freakin' pairs of shoes and underwear.  Oh my God, the underwear part of the store was too funny, though. 

But I'm just really glad that Sam didn't come.  That saved her a lot of problems, even if she was disappointed.  He's 20, I mean, that's bad.

Okay, my brother's hearing thing ended up getting postponed 'cause his lawyer had something "more important" to do.  Stupid. 

My brother's on his way to court right now.  I hope it goes well.  Cross your fingers! 

Okay, the biggest news from yesterday is that my friend's online boyfriend isn't who he said he was.  He said he was 17 and his name is Mike, but he's really Sam and 20 years old.  I guess that he said that his friends just told him to do that.  So, my friend had lied about ever meeting "Mike/Sam", but he still wants to get together this weekend.  There are so many things that could go wrong with that, I don't even know where to begin.  Last night, Sam was supposed to get online and send her a picture of his "true" self, not of his friend, like before, but he never showed up.  I really don't want her to go now, 'cause he could just be lying about being 20.  And, anyways a 20-year-old with someone who's 14 is rape.  And this guy is supposedly studying to be a lawyer.  It's like "Oh my God, then you should know better than to talk with people almost half your age online".

In other news, I guess my brother's court thing tomorrow is just showing evidence or something like that.  He won't receive his punishment or anything. 

I have a huge update thing.  But I'm gonna save it for tomorrow 'cause I'm going to bed.

Eh, life sucks right now.  I guess my dad doesn't want to go to Michigan anymore this summer because of Aaron.  That was the one thing I was looking forward to, too.  He doesn't want him to be "without adult supervision".  I mean, come on, he is an adult himself.  He can take responsibility for his own actions for once. 

I got into a fight with basically everyone in my family today.  I'll admit, I was being a total bitch, but I didn't feel good, so at least I had an excuse. 

Oh, and I'm watering my neighbors' plants for them while they're on vacation.  But, like, half of them have died.  I'm so freaked out, 'cause that is one of the only things that they care about.  And that doesn't even make any sense, 'cause I have been watering them almost every day.

Today, my grandma, grandpa, and uncle came up for Father's Day.  We went to the Antrim House, and it wasn't at all busy.  I had the buffet, and it was pretty good.  They gave us another one of their old printers, but it's still too modern to work on our computer.  I wish I had, like, $1000 more that I could spend on a computer or something.  Ours is from the late '80s/early '90s, and it sucks majorly.  Nothing is compatible with it, and it can't run any programs, barely.  My dad said we might be able to get a new one soon.  I hope so!

Today my dad and I got up at 3:40 so we could get to this woodworking show in Muncy by 8:00.  We were there an hour early which sucks, but it was still a good day.  My dad got a dust collector, which is what he wanted.  We got way lost on the way home, though.  It took us five hours to get back, so I slept for a little bit.

My brother's court date is on the 24th.  I hope that he only gets probation or community service.  That's what he said his friend got, I think, so I can at least hope for the best.

I'm bored, so I'm writing in here again.  I just finished reading Dreamland by Sarah Dessen.  I love her books.  She's amazingly talented, but she's only written six books so far.  I've read all of them except for her newest one, The Truth About Forever.  But, anyways, I want everyone to go read at least one of her books.  They're great.

"Dreamland" is about Caitlin O'Koren, who is sixteen years old.  Her sister, Cass, who was gonna go to Yale, ran away with her older boyfriend.  That and many other factors lead to her feeling depressed and withdrawn.  One day, Caitlin meets a slightly older and mysterious man, Rogerson Biscoe.  She is so happy when she's with him.  He makes her forget about all of her troubles and worries - at least for a while.  Rogerson is a perfectionist and he can't stand for anything to be out of place or people to be late or anything like that.  When Caitlin makes the cheerleading squad, and starts giving all of her free time to them instead of Rogerson, he starts lashing out at her.  It becomes a physically and emotionally abusive relationship.  She even tries drugs.

This book is really realistic, and you won't be able to put it down once you start reading it.  It's so sad, but it has little speckles of humor throughout it to ease the tone.
