Max’s Blog!

So, I just got back from the big 8th Grade Gateway Retreat, and it was AWESOME!!!!!!! We did all this fun stuff, like Fuzzy Bunny (where you crammed marshmallows into your mouth and said Fuzzy Bunny, until you gagged or became unintelligible), and the weird blanket flipping puzzle, and all these Challenges (PERUVIAN TACOBIRDS RULE!) and flashlight tag, and it was so fun! Then, when I got home, I got, like, a happy-high on the song Dancing With Myself by Billy Idol, and then decided to wear a chocolate suit to school today (don’t ask) and finished my retarded math homework way faster than I thought I could. Ha! I laugh in the face of your petty efficiency, Mr. AHS Gifted Resource Teacher!!!! Mwahahahaha! I did all my math homework at once!!!! Hahahaha…heehee…hmm. Okay, I’m done now. Sorry.
But yeah, it was so cool! I feel so amazingly happy it’s, like, sad. Heehee…I made a stupid oxymoron… but yeah. I feel like I’m going to explode into a yellow sunny fireball! It’s soooooo….awesome! Yeah!
Okay, I apologize if I’m scaring you. But it had to be said.
Okay, well adios, amigos y amigas! Hasta manana! Metaphorically speaking, of course.

Sorry to write so late!
Okay, so the day after my last post, we went to an island, and we had to get there by boat, and our captain was named Captain Deiter (DEE-tur), and he had the weirdest German accent! He actually said “boat” as “butt!” It was so funny!
Then,we went to the grocery store, but since we were on such a teensy tinsey little island, we had to go to Sanibel to get groceries! They had a huge tropical garden thing, complete with tropical birds, and I tried to get a parrot to talk to me. But it just shrieked at me! It was all, GRAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! And I was just like, umm, okay…
Then on the way home, it started raining. I was bored, so I looked out the window, and noticed street signs. Street signs are funny things. Here are my observations:
Stop sign: Actually means, Pause.
Yeild sign: You don’t actually give anything up. You actually pause. See stop sign.
Do not pass sign: Take off on Lord of the Rings, “You shall not pass!”
No parking sign: Looks like an “R”, causing some people (me) to think it means “Reverse.”
Men Working sign: So sexist.
Crosswalk sign: PEOPLE XING!!!!!!!!!!!!
Et cetera.
Yeah, so I am also apparently slightly allergic to a certain ingredient insunscreen, so I got a whole bunch of pimples on my face. It sucks. Whatever.

Okay, so two days ago, my family drove to Captiva Island, off the coast of Florida. It took 18 hours, and we spread it over two days, so the first day I went to school for an our and a half (first block) for a Chemistry exam, then we packed up and drove out of my house at, like, 11:30, then drove till 9:00, then fell asleep like the exausted potatoes that we are. (Why I just called us potatoes, I don’t know, but I did, so get over it.) Then we woke up and drove until five the next day, then got to our PRIVATE RENTED HOME with a PRIVATE POOL and FIVE BEDROOMS. Yeah, it’s pretty awesome. And it’s only two blocks from the beach. The Captiva Island beach is known for it’s amazing amount of beautiful shells, and I already have two small pails of shells so far in two days! It’s awesome. But, being the blonde-at-heart that I am (48% blonde, thank you very much) I forgot to put sunscreen on my face. Wwwwooooowwwwww. So, while my body was bronzing nicely, my face was darkening into a disgusting shade of scarlet. And oh does it hurt. Hence, the title of this post, OHHHHH, THE PAAAAAIIIIINNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Smooth, Max. Real smooth.
G2G, Star Wars: Attack of the Clones is on the telly. Gawd, I’m such a nerd.
