Ok, creative blog title, I know.
Anywhoo.
Soo I'm back from Michigan. I don't know about you, but I'm really loving this heat. It was so cold and windy where I was, and I'm super excited to be back in the sunshine, plus I missed all of you a lot.
Last night I saw Pirates of the Caribbean 3 with Lauren and Ach. We had planned a whole group of people to go, but then everyone bailed so it was just us three. It was actually quite fun and I had a very good time. We went to Red Robin beforehand and had a very nice server named Bryan, who, as we were informed, was the best server in the whole restaurant, haha. I had already seen the movie, but I totally didn't understand it the first time, but then the second time I actually got it, which was quite exciting. It's super long movie, it started at 10 and we didn't get out of it till around 12:30, but I highly recommend it.
So after I got back from walking my dog, I decided to watch the Elevation movie from last year. I put it in, and it was actually the Elevation DVD from two years ago. I hadn't watched it in at least a year, so I decided to keep it in. It was so strange to see how different we all looked. I mean, Dustin was all pale and had black hair, and Hannah and I still had braces, etc. etc. Seriously, I barely recognized myself, I looked so different two years ago, it's weird.
On a different but slightly the same note, my family dropped Julia off at Arbutus Hayo-Went-Ha summer camp on our way home from Michigan. It's this awesome camp that I went to last year, and she's gone to for three years now. You can either go for four weeks or two, and she and I went for two last year. You get to go on these amazing trips while you're at camp, and there's a different one each year. For instance, last year I went to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and hiked for four days in this place called Pictured Rocks. It's on Lake Superior and it's probably the most beautiful place I've ever been to, no joke. The hike was absolutely amazing, and so much fun. I mean, yes, I felt totally disgusting afterward, and it was kind of hard hiking with my huge pack, but it was absolutely awesome. Julia is going on that trip this year, actually. She leaves camp Thursday and gets back Monday or something. Ok, I'm rambling. Back to my point.
So I wasn't going to camp this year because it didn't work out because stupid band camp got in the way. Anywhoo, I was really excited to go back, even if I wasn't staying. We pulled in to the camp parking lot and proceeded to check Julia in. We passed all the counselors, and they gave me this look, like "Ok I sort of remember you, but not enough to say anything to you." But I passed this one counselor named Louise who actually went on my trip last year with my cabin,and, you know, I talked to and got to know last summer, and I smiled really big at her, but she didn't remember me at all. It was weird, really. Fortunately, one of the girls from my cabin named last year named Taylor saw me and actually did remember me, and then did the whole run-at-me-screaming-hug-me thing, which was actually nice, because I hadn't seen her in a year, and it was nice that someone remembered me, haha. She looked very different, had gotten braces, cut and straightened her hair, and looked more grown up, but she still had her classic blue highlights in her hair, and I could still tell that it was Taylor, if you get my drift. On my way out, this girl named Amanda who wasn't in my cabin and I didn't know very well remembered me and said hi to me, which, you know, made me feel better, haha.
I only saw one other girl from my cabin, named Natalie. I had gotten to know her, too, and I spent at least two hours just sitting and talking with her and another girl named Elise on our last day at camp last year. So you know, I just kinda sorta assumed she would remember me. But I walked past her and gave her like this "I know you do you know me?" look. But she just glanced at me and kept walking. Not wanting to freak her out and go ambush her, when she clearly had no clue who I was, I kept walking too.
But this whole event got me thinking. It's so strange how quickly everyone and everything around us is changing. We're all growing up and changing physically and emotionally so quickly, and people that knew us a year ago may not even recognize us today. It's just weird. I'm the kind of person that absolutely despises change. But I know that change has to happen, or else life couldn't happen. I mean seriously, I don't want to stay fifteen forever. But I don't know, things just seem to be moving so quickly lately, and everyone's growing up so fast. It's just weird, but a good kind of weird I suppose. I'm sorry, I'm kind of rambling, my apologies if you're still reading this pathetic excuse for a blog post.
Ok, I have to go help with dinner now. I'll see you all tomorrow!
Hugs and kisses,

Gaburay, you have NO idea.
I run into people at least once a week who I haven't seen in years, and they share stories of how exciting their lives have been, and the older ones tell me about college and getting cool jobs.
It weirds me out that in just about 16 weeks, I'll have applied to all the colleges I'm going to. 16 weeks, and then my future is in the hands of admissions counselors.
Not only does it freak me out because it brings up the question of the unknown, but it makes me desperately want to cling to what I have. Basically, Annie, change sucks. But it's not until we surrender and late the winds of change carry us away that we can become content with the way our lives look.
Sorry, probably longest blog comment in VI-blog history, but that's what I've got.
Haha Gaburrray, nobody remembers you. That is so depressing. In like a year I'll drop by VI and I'll pretend not to remember you. Maybe I'll even call you some random name to make you think I don't know you at all. Yeah, that sounds like fun.
Drew, thank you for the nice comment.
Chris, you're just mean! When you drop by I'll pretend I don't remember YOU either. So THERE.
Ok, never mind. I couldn't do that, I'd feel bad.
