Cuz when it crashes our dreams will be no more...
Wheeee. I am so insanely bipolar sometimes, I swear. But this weekend has been AMAZING. Just what I needed. =)
Friday was a dentist appointment where I pretty much watched What I Like About You on the tv thing, so that was all right. Then I went to dryland where I did 10 Kevin-approved pushups in a row!! Whee!! Miss Weakness is moving up mildly in the world. Then we did wallsits, which are fun, because you're sharing the pain with everyone you're doing them with. And Kevin fell down twice which, after we made sure he was okay, was very very funny.
Then there was a storm and the pool had to close so they canceled practice, so I went home and chilled and got ready to go to Danica's. That was fun. =) I hadn't seen Julie since robotics ended, Ari since forever (the bus totally doesn't count, I sleep on that thing), Danica is amazingly Danica, and Bill is entertainment incarnate. We went to see Pirates 3, I picked up on everything I missed the first time, and whenever Bill poked me in the arm I exploded.
Then we went back to Danica's and did weird personality quizzes in the basement and there was a medicine ball! And I managed to keep her from calling Tom (miraculously) at two in the morning, which is around where we fell asleep.
I left there at around 7:45 to be at the high school for 8:15. I volunteered as a one-on-one at the Wolcott Special Games. It was awesome. I hung out with Shawn and Tina and Vinnie and got paired with this adorable frail little guy named Dennis who got two 2nd place ribbons, a 1st place ribbon, and a medal. I felt so insanely proud. And it was fun - I love helping people with disabilities because for once in my life I feel like I know what I'm doing. Well, sort of anyways. It's so great, because they're generally such cheerful, genuine people. I got a kiss on the cheek from one guy because I let him take a picture with me.
And then randomly, half way through the day, I was walking with Tina and Dennis and talking about Tom, and THERE HE WAS! I screamed. It was the sweetest thing ever, he'd been driving home from work past the high school, seen the commotion on the turf, remembered I was there, and dropped by to say hi. I was so touched. =) Haha, so maybe I'm a tad obsessive. It was still an insanely sweet thing to do. And I saw his car, which is white and shiny and gorgeous. =D
That ended with me and Tina flipping through the DJs CD books for twenty minutes looking for the cotton-eyed joe, FINALLY finding it, and ending up dancing when everybody but maybe ten people on clean-up were gone. It was amazing. And I can hop fences. =)
And now I'm going swimming! Because Dad has deemed the pool worthy of human touch. Yay. Haha. Okay. Iona...out.

Dennis was way cool. Thought I'd just state that. I'm sure he feels so accomplished right now. It's kind of touching.
I can't remember how he did tossing bean bags though I know everyone including us folk who were in charge of it weren't too spectacular at it. And then these two little girls kept wanting to toss the bean bags at us as opposed to Taz and Elmo. And then some random woman who was manning the sponge toss squeezed one over my head. It was bizarre. She was so excited about her throw sponges at local celebrities stand that I guess she wanted to spread the excitement only I was concerned for my cell phone because cell phone + water = not so good. But all in all it was fun.
It was very cool to watch you having so much fun doing the things that your mother and I delighted in at your age (and still do). (Wow, how old does that sound?!)
Any way, just carry on being you and doing what is wonderful.
Good to see a bunch of your friends there too.
Love you
