I turn 17 in 8 days. GOLLY I hope Kerry wins. So let's go back (back, back to the disaster, my heart's beating faster...) to the past weekend. I stayed at Calvin's Friday night...I don't remember what we did. I think Nate was there the majority of the night and we played Super Nintendo a lot because it is ehffing awesome to participate in such activities. Saturday Calvin and I went into the woods by the Elks Club (oh, it sounds so very provocative) to build a tree stand. Not as in "We's gon' go a'huntin' from that thurr tree stand...git 'er done!", but as in "I, Gretchen, and my good friend Calvin, went into the woods and broke down trees and collected logs to build a rail for snowboarding this winter." We got a fair amount of it done, and found the perfect grinding log and everything, and then the fork branches at the bottom holding the main support started to crack, so Calvin tried to fix it, and ended up knocking the support down on the left side and causing most of the 50 or so logs we'd collected for about 4 hours or so to fall and roll down the hill. Ohhhh sad. We went back to Calvins afterwards, played more Super Nintendo, and I ended up staying the night again. Sunday we were outside basically all day. I woke up hearing music from my keyboard drifting up from DA BASE, or Calvinb's basement, and so I went down there to find him jamming out to the max. He's proud that he's got Heart & Soul downnow, as am I. We went outside around 12 and played a bit o' hockey, then the kids started coming out...Jessica, Jordan, Sierra, Cameron, Cody, crazy coke baby Zach, Trevor, and Anthony. We all just did various athletic activities throughout the majority of the day, including me carrying cameron and Cody around a lot and pretending to shoot Calvin with them. Oh yeah. C'ètait très intense. Sidenote: I'm selling raffle tickets right now for our French Club trip. Please buy some from me. I'll give you my soul. Sunday night was, of course, Halloween. I didn't really plan on doing anything special, like t-or-t'ing or anything such. I was at Calvin's with him and Nate and Kosnow playing Super Nintendo once more, and the game of the night was Mortal Kombat II. Calvin and I ended up going to my house to find game cheats and taquitos. We ended up in 5-minute-costumes (Me as Mia Hamm and him as what he worded as "The Supermodel from hell") and just stopped at houses walking back to Vin's and got candy. It kicked your arsexcore. I ended up home around 9:30, which was ultra lame to the max, but oh well. Yesterday...psh. School was school. Chem, English Writers 2, Algebra 2, U.S, History 2. Mom came back from Uncle Pete's wedding In Florida last night around 11:00. I was tired and had to stay up to watch the wedding video. Boo. Today I had Chem, then Français Quatre, then Sculpture, then Study Hall, during which I went into Mom's Freshman English class to help them with Concocneated Verbiage, and helped Ms. Craig with the Art 1 class that she has that period, as I always do. Afterschool I went with Lily and Anneke to Rite Aid and bought a raspberry iced tea and something else that I don't remember now. OH, they were strawberry Mentos. Mmmmmmm. Then I had to go home. I drove. Whoo. I went to Sam's and we did nothing, as always. When his mom came home, I went with him to vote, even though I can't. Boo, you whore. Go Kerry. Lily's baking me a cake sometime this week. And I'm going to the Boys Varsity Game Saturday in Bath. HAMPDEN ACADEMY BOYS, EASTERN MAINE CHAMPS, BITCHESSSS. Ugh I write the longest entries and there's never anything significant in them. Whatev Bev, I don't need this shee-ite.
