I have at least a dozen of them, and I'm about out of my mind. Not only that, I've smelled like an open bottle of turpentine all day, because that's the only thing that will kill them.

It sucks.

I was very tired and depressed all day. I don't know why, but I could hardly keep my eyes open. I kind of dozed for a couple of hours this afternoon, but I never totally fell asleep.

I felt like crying all day for some reason.

This evening I went over to the K's (the land lord/lady's house) house with Ethan. They invited us over for banana splits. :) It took some convincing for me to go, but I was so bored that I ran out of excuses. I was afraid I would show up a little late to the party, but everybody was down at the pond when I got there. There were tons of people. Not just the K's but friends of theirs, too, so I almost didn't get introduced to everyone.

This one friend of theirs named Ethan came up to me and introduced himself, and started talking to me about music. He was nice, but not really cute or anything. The thing that gets me is that's the only opening conversation those guys had. Another friend, Daniel, opened with the same thing. LOL Guys.

And they want to know why you like the music you like, what kinds of things you listen to specifically. It's rather nuts, I don't analyze music that much.

All the guys had their guitars and they were out on the dock playing them. Daniel asked me if I liked George Strait, and then told me to pick a song. I love George Strait of course, I'm just not used to the attention. I can hold my own with guys, I just have a lot of internal trouble when I'm dealing with them. LOL I'm such a freak. *buries face in hands*

After Sarah, who has no trouble with guys, got home from work with the bananas and the strawberries, we had ice cream, and just kind of hung out. Sarah's nice, but she's more the type that hangs with the guys and doesn't know she's this big flirt. So I'm not really sure what to do with her when I'm around her. I'm older, but she seems older than me. That's pretty sad. Well, she is 18, so it's not like she's 14 and showing me up or something. LOL

They were all nice though, and their youngest, Tilly, is three and completely adorable. She has the cutest way of talking. They have nine kids, so it's pretty crazy.

Isaac is cute, but too young for me. Go figure. He's either 15 or 16. Various members of my family are confused on this matter, so I dunno. I'm glad I asked though, cause he looks about the same age as me. Don't want to participate in any of that cradle robbing or nothin'. ;) He was really nice, too, so it was hard to tell. LOL I don't think he knew how old I was, cause he was flirting seriously. hehe He's got the charm though, so it's not like I'm the only one he used it on tonight.

I got there about 8:30 and we left at 11. It was fun. I thought I'd hate it. I'm not sure why, but I just hate being surrounded by complete strangers like that. I've just gotta make myself do more stuff like that, especially if I'm going to be a journalist. You kinda have to go up to people you don't know and talk to them. ;)

Mrs. K. told me I look like Mom. I get that from soooo many people.

So, that was my first social adventure in Brenham. When I recover mentally from it, maybe I'll have another one. ;)

I really need to go shower off the bug spray, while trying to further scrub away the chiggers. And apply more turpentine... Blech. I forgot what a pain the country is.

I want to change the layout before I leave, too, but I have to go get it. You Dale girls don't fall over now, okay? ;) I just can't see mine on my computer anymore, and this was too good not to use. :D

I'm also trying not to think about him having a girlfriend.

Girlfriend? What girlfriend?

*hopes it was a false rumor* hehe

New journal title - I've gotta give credit to Melissa for that one. It was something she said to me once when we were chatting over AIM. :)

Well, I better go get washed and in the bed. I think I want to do some more paper journaling before I got to sleep, and it's late already. I can't believe I'm still keeping that thing up, but I am quite often.

And maybe we'll have TV by tomorrow! Sunday racing here I come!

Mwa, dahlings! *g*
