Dear Diary, Lots to tell! Monday. Cassie woke me up in the morning with a phone call to say that her family was leaving for Lagoon in ten minutes and I was invited to come. So I threw on some clothes, shoved some dry cereal in a baggie, and rushed out the door. Lagoon was pretty fun. When you've been there plenty of times, it's not that exciting. But I did ride the Samari and the Cliffhanger for the first time! I loved them. Especially the Samari, because you get thrown around like a rag doll and it made me GIGGLE! Seriously, it was fun. tee hee. We got tired around six, and went to eat some pizza with Cassie's family (extended family, mostly). Cassie's mom asked me if I wanted to keep playing or just go home. I told her I'd rather go home... But we didn't go home. Instead, we went to every relative of Cassie's in the county and did every possible errand imaginable. It was not very fun. Considering we left Lagoon at 6:30 and didn't get home until 11:30, it was a LOT of errands. Oh well. OH! And while I was at Lagoon... my mother called me to say that there was something on the front porch for me... a homecoming invitation... from Loren! It was definitely a... surprise. And I don't know what to do. That's nice that he asked me, but... it just seems like it would be EXTREMELY AWKWARD if I went with him. I'd be nervous the whole night and I would never know what to say to him---we have so little in common. I don't know him that well, either. And then there's the whole... thing. That night. With us. And it was awkward and miserable and I pretty much wish it never happened. And I do NOT want it to happen again. At all. Besides I don't think he would have any fun, because I'd be so nervous and uncomfortable. But then again, I've never turned anyone down for a date, and I would feel horrible. It'd also be my only shot for homecoming. Maybe I should try to work things out with him... or maybe I shouldn't... I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS!!!!!!! Cassie and I decided to have a sleepover that night... and have our Ben and Jerry night. We ran to Walmart and midnight and picked up the delicious ice cream, then came home and devoured it as we talked about boys... and that was Monday. Today! Cassie and I woke up... sat around... sat around some more... babysat... picked up a movie and watched it while babysitting... And then Cassie had to go home, so I did the babysittting and watching of movies. Later, Loren and Bill came by my house. Which was slightly awkward. But we talked for awhile... After they left I got a little... upset. A combination of being confused about homecoming and my family being rude. So I took off. I went to the park to swing... but then I wanted to talk to someone, so I called up Eric and told him I wasn't having a very good day. And he told me he'd be right over! It was really sweet. So he (and his friend, Billy) came over to the park to talk to me. I told Eric all about my homecoming confusion, and it was nice to talk to him about it... He is a very nice guy. Ack, I'm getting kicked off the computer. And I'm STILL not done with this entry! Oh well. Love, Lisa Ann
