...and your hands and knees felt cold and wet from the grass beneath. I leave today for my Ambassadorship in Southern Maine. Woohoo, Gretchen is an ambassadorrrrr. I'm in oodles of pain right now. I think I bruised a bone last night. Sam and I wanted to go to Calvin's, so Sam took the mini-bike and I took the longboard. Once we got to the straightaway on Perkins Ave., we decided to try somethig. I held onto the sissy bar and he pulled me with the bike. So there we were, Sam and me going 20 mph down Perkins Ave., him on the mini bike and me on the longboard. Then we were at Calvin's, so I decided to let go to slow down, and got the worst speed wiggles ever (which makes sense, since I was going 20 mph on a longboard...). I fell of the board, got about two steps in, and WHAM! just hit that ground so hard. Luckily I rolled with it...but now my elbow looks really nasty, and I really think I bruised my shin bone...It hurts so badly to put any pressure on it at all. I did't cry at all though. It didn't hurt that much when it happened; I just thought it was awesome. I was like "DUDE, SAM, I JUST HIT THE GROUND AT TWENTY MILES PER HOUR!" and he came back around on his bike after e'd slowed down and was just like, "Holy shit Gretch, you alright?" and I was all "Hell yeah! That's a good story!" But I just noticed my shoulder's really sore too. Oh well. Oh my godddd, I am the worst person ever. Lily and I did what was probably the meanest thing possible, and we just wanted to kill ourselves afterwards (in fact we tried by going to Rite Aid and buying/eating/drinking Pop Rocks and Coke, bu no such luck).Okay, so here's the deal. Student Council, which Lily and I are both on, was holding auditions for the talent show yesterday afterschool. There were these two kids, one on guitar and both singing, doing "Outside" by Staind. The guitar was fine, but oh my god, the singing was horrible. Absolutely terrible. And we all felt really bad. But then afterwards, when Lily and I had thought everyone else had left, we were just mocking one of the kids and singing like him when we walked out of the old gym...and he was sitting right there with his girlfriend. I felt like the absolute worst person ever. I just sort of played it cool and was all, "hey man..." but Lily was just like..."awesome." We walked down the ramp and basically just collapsed in the hallway and hated ourselves for about 10 minutes. I can't believe what happened did. I just feel so bad. Gahhhhhhhhh. By the way, it's only 7:07 in the morning right now. Neat, eh? Well I must go finish packing, so bye kids. have a nice weekend. I'll be gone today, tomorrow, Saturday and the first part of Sunday...but back in time to see Mean Girls Sunday night, if possible. Out: Gretchen
