some of these are kinda stupid, but still...
the summer of my graduation from 8th grade(3 years ago) was great(technically, the summer of graduation, seeing as how this is a few events over june-august).first, you have to understand that for 9 years me and most of my freinds were stuck in this shitty catholic grade school.it was probably no worse than other grade schools, but for us, and kids everywhere, it sucked.the graduation itself was great, sitting there looking around at my friends.girls were crying about losing friends, and, in a moment i will always remeber, my friend bob whispered/yelled my name from three rows back with a huge shit-eating grin and simply says "i gradutated!!!".then came the parties.most of them blend together, but they were all so fun for the various shit we did.no drinking or drugs at any of them, but just total fun almost every week.
next, the summer my brother spent in spain 2 summers ago.he was there as an exchange student, which left me home alone almost every weekday.it was the last months of my dog's life, since she had been diagnosed with throat and lung cancer a week before he left.i have tons of memories of waking up each morning, carrying my snes downstairs, turning on the computer, and sitting there surfing, playing ff2, and getting some final time in with my childhood pet, who we put to sleep a few weeks after my bro got home
next, any night of the dozen or so over the past year or so spent with my brother and my best friend.my brother and i have always been close, and my best friend has been in school with me since kindergarten, although i wasnt close until i moved across town in third grade, around the block from her.every day we;d hang out on the bus, since everyone else our age got off at the first few stops, but i digress from the good times.over the past year or so, it hasnt been an unexpected site to see her at my door one some night, coming over unannounced to hang out.the three of us just sit around, talking, watching tv, and basically doing whatever we can to annoy the living shit out of each other.one really memorable night was the meteor shower a few months back.she came over around 9, left at 6.we had tons of fun that night, wether watching little nicky and chasing amy, sitting out on my lawn watching meteors, or sneaking up behind someone sitting down and poking them into a convulsion.i love those nights...
finally, times spent with my first actual girlfriend last summer.we only really went out 4 times, but they were great nights.one of them, us and a few mutual friends at a church carnival.we had to spend the night dodging the guy she dumped because she was cheating with me(actually, he's a close friend of mine now.not sure if he knows she cheated, though), and frequently found ourselves alone from the group.unfortunately, i had no idea how to take a hint, and i could have easily gotten at least to second that night, but ended up not even trying to hit.i'll always remember the look in her eyes i saw when we were alone together, and how happy she was when i won her a goldfish
wow, i feel really sappy now
