Sledding at 1am

I told myself I would write three blogs on Sunday, and then Sunday came and I chose not to do that. Instead I played Civilization V for like six hours.

If you don’t know what that is, it’s basically a game where you have a civilization and you compete against other people for resources while trying to keep your people happy. I always start the games telling myself I’m going to be peaceful, and then I end up attacking everyone because I’m selfish and I want all of the things.

Any way, while I was doing that I watched netflix and then I tried to go to sleep at 9pm which didn’t work because I have the internal clock of a bat. This means that at 11 pm I was suddenly very motivated to do my math homework and also eat three sandwiches at the same time. This is not what one wants when trying to fall asleep.

Now let’s rewind to Friday. After swim practice (which we will be discussing later) I went to Josh Booths house. Honestly that shouldn’t surprise anyone. We practically have a weekly sleepover every Friday. His house is my second home. While I was there I ate the burrito his mom so kindly got me from Chipotle. I cannot state enough how nice it was of her to get me because I didn’t respond to Josh’s text at 6pm asking if I wanted one (in my defense I was in the pool, not just ignoring them). After eating the delightful burrito I convinced Josh to start doing Vlogmas, and it has been a huge success. At first we could not get the app to work though, but it was 11 pm so I was suddenly flooded with superpowers and was able to work out all of the problems in record time.

After crafting Vlogmas for that day, Josh and I played Civ V until 3 am. The game is addicting. During this time we started our civilizations and absolutely demolished Sweden. With us teamed up against him, the guy had no chance. After that I went to sleep when Josh tucked me in on his couch. He made me into a blanket burrito. It took three blankets.

I slept very well from 3:30 to 7:30 when I had to get up for my swim meet. But before my swim meet I had to go drop my car off to get new tires, because mine would kill me in the snow. Unfortunately the tire place didn’t have tires the correct size. This made my dad very mad, and I didn’t get new tires. Now I must wait another dangerous week to get new ones.

The swim meet went pretty well. I do not like most of the people on my team though, so it was a painful five hours.

Then I went to a chamber concert to see my dear friends Joshua and Taryn sing many songs. They were both very good. My favorite part was making direct eye contact with Josh and making silly faces at him. My least favorite part was accidentally making eye contact with the delightful person behind him. This person will not be named. They will simply be called rat. Rat doesn’t like me or my friends and we aren’t big fans of rat either. That’s why it was super fun to make eye contact with rat. I made eye contact with rat more times than with Josh or Taryn because rat was staring directly at me and Cecilia the whole time. It was weird!

After that I got thai food with Cecilia and went home. Then I drove Michelle Chu home from my house. During this drive I cheated on Kimmie Harding because I listened and screamed along to Since U Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson without her. I am quite ashamed of myself.

Then it was Sunday, something we already discussed.

I titled this sledding at 1 am because I had a dream about sledding at Larter field in the middle of the night.

It was actually super fun in my dream and now I want to do it this weekend. Tragically I probably won’t be able to because that would seem “sketchy” and my parents might think I’m buying drugs. They put this stalker app on my phone that tracks my movements, and this annoys me. My mother says they don’t stalk me, but when I made it so I didn’t allow the app to find my location they got mad at me. Then, to test them, I told my mom I was going to the library when I was actually going to Josh Booths house. I got an angry text about lying not 5 minutes after I had arrived.

I’m almost 18. This is an invasion of my privacy. I feel like they must not trust me if they have to keep tabs on me like this.
