I know other people would view this as a wicked selfish reason to be in a bad mood but I can't help it. Today was the first day in a while that I don't have to babysit my little brother and I could just go to my boyfriend's house. I was hoping we could bake cookies and watch a movie just like we used to all the time but he's going swimming at the Wilson's.
Now, I completely understand that the Wilson's are moving soon and he won't have that much time to spend with them, but I can't even remember the last time Phil and I just sat around watching a movie just the two of us. It seems like someone else is always there and we can never spend time together like we used to. I thought we'd have more time to hang out now that it's summer vacation, but apparently that just means abandoning me a lot to go swimming. Now you may ask 'Rachel, why don't you go swimming too?' I don't like swimming. I've never liked swimming. Phil knows this. And I can't deal with the heat very well (I get migraines) so I don't go with him and just hang out at the pool.
And in the text he sent asking if I would come over his house tonight (after Friday Night Knitting) I sort of sent a reply that I feel a bit bad about. It was kinda rude, but I can't really help it. When I'm in a bad mood I get sort of pouty.
So other people might view this as selfish, but I don't. I understand that the Wilson's are moving soon. I do. But I can't remember the last time he and I were hanging out watching a movie without a bunch of other people there too. I don't really think it's too much to ask for.

having a small panic attack
omgomgomgomg there's a HUGE bug thing on the wall in my room. It hasn't moved since I've noticed it and I'm wondering if I have the guts to go over there and smash it with a shoe. What if it flies in my face? I'll scream. I know I will. But I can't just leave it there. I won't sleep if I know it's in the room....

Rubik's cubes are annoying
So that picture I just uploaded, I have NO CLUE how the green part ended up with the yellow square. Maybe it's because I'm on a sugar high and I'm not paying attention.
My Internet isn't working on my laptop. It makes me sad. :(
I'm typing this on my iPod touch.
I'm kinda tired... I might go to bed and finish the cube tomorrow. I don't have the patience for it now. I CAN do it though. 3x3s and 4x4s are easy. And 2x2s. I haven't tried any other ones. I might get a 5x5 one soon. But they cost like $30 and I don't want to spend that much on a toy right now.

Trees and Smoking Pipes
A few days ago two of my neighbours had most of the trees cut down in their yard. Right now there's a huge truck across the street and the back of it is quickly filling up with those trees. My little brother just pointed out to me that the man controlling the giant robot arm (which I will call 'The Claw') is smoking a pipe. That is just so cool. I can't even remember the last time I saw someone smoke a pipe. I know it's not good for you, and even though I'm completely against smoking, there's something about smoking a pipe that just seems cool. ANYWAY The Claw is HUGE. I'm sure it could pick me up and squeeze me to death if the pipe smoking guy controlling it was in a murdering mood.
Ok....that was a bit weird of me to say...I shouldn't think about that sort of thing. Maybe I'll draw a picture of The Claw squeezing me to death. A warning though: my drawing sucks. I have zero artistic skills so this drawing will be with stick figures.

Phineas and Ferb
I just gotta say that I love the show Phineas and Ferb. The chariot race episode was just on and I love how near the end of the episode when they're back in the museum and you see a display of a platypus when Norm says "The enemy of the platypus is man!" and the platypus looks normal like this:
And Perry is all blue and orange. Weird... like I know Perry is a cartoon and he's not supposed to look like a normal platypus, but then they put one that looked normal in the show too.

Summer vacation - Day 1
Today is the first day that my two younger brothers are home for their summer vacation. The almost two months that I had off where I was home alone all day and it was awesome. It's mostly Matthew I don't want around. Damon is good, he and I get along really well. But Matthew....well, the rest of this summer is going to pretty much suck.
For now though, I'm going to try to deal with it the best I can and try not to let Matthew and Damon's arguing bother me so much that I have to spend all my time shut up in my room.
I just hope that I can spend lots of time at Phil's house since he's going on his mission at the end of September and I want to spend as much time as possible with him before he goes.

I'm up later than I want to be
I know that 11:20 (when I'm typing this) is far from being late at night by a lot of people's standards, but I'm really really tired for some reason. So there's this HUGE spider in my window, but I can't sleep unless I put in the window fan to bring in cold air. I know it's completely ridiculous but I'm terrified of the spider coming to kill me when I sleep.
Um....here's a bit of writing: (the thematic thursday thing is part of the daily challenges that are going on on synthetic-truth.net for the summer of writing. oh, and this is some Artemis Fowl fanfiction. I'll try to have the next thing I post not be fanfiction.)

They were in the study at Fowl Manor. After an accident underground that involved Opal Koboi and Holly’s superior officer Commander Trouble Kelp, she had spoken to Trouble straightaway to find out what had happened. He said that before she attacked, Opal had told him who had sent her. Holly had flown to Ireland right away to speak with a certain Mud Boy.
“Artemis I don’t care why you did it; I just care that you did. You’ve been lying to me for years. Years. And I’ve forgiven you every time. Foaly doesn’t know why and quite honestly I don’t either. Did you think I wouldn’t find out? Well? Say something Mud Boy.” The elf captain crossed her arms and waited for the boy to speak.
“I thought.... I thought..well, I don’t know what I was thinking,” the boy hung his head.
“You weren’t thinking Artemis. That’s the point. If you were you would not have found that it was alright to go to Opal Koboi of all people. How can she fix anything? She only destroys.” Holly’s eyes filled up with tears. With a frustrated sigh she wiped them away. “And now Commander Trouble is in the hospital. We’ve got all the best warlocks healing him, but they don’t know if that’s enough. With what Opal is capable of...”
In the past Opal had caused quite a lot of trouble with the LEP, Lower Elements Police, for using the brain fluids of animals to increase her magical abilities with dangerous results.
Artemis seemed to be having a battle with himself. Several times he opened his mouth as though about to speak but quickly closed it again. Finally he took a deep breath and spoke. “I thought he was taking you away from me.”
Holly thought she had heard him wrong.
“I’m sorry, what?”
“I thought he was taking you away from me. These blasted hormones got the better of me. It won’t happen again.”
Normally Holly would have laughed at Artemis using the phrase “these blasted hormones”, but she wasn’t in the mood.
“I don’t care Artemis. You’re better than this. I know you are. I think...I think I need some time to cool off. Don’t call me for a while, alright? Just don’t.”
And with that, she started her mechanical wings that were on the back of her LEP suit. She jumped from the open window and flew away. Artemis watched until she was out of sight.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered.

Completely random...
There was just a child screaming "MEH! MEEEEHHHHH! MEH! MMMMEEEEHHHHHH!!!!!" over and over and over outside of my window. Who is this child? Why are they screaming? Why am I even posting this? It's not like anyone cares or is reading my blog.
What's that smell?
So I just got home, went to my room, put in my window fan and what do I smell? Cigarettes. Automatically my first thought was to go complain to my RA that people are smoking too close to the building but then I realised - I'M AT HOME. I never smell cigarettes at home and I hate to say this, but the only person who I can think of that would be smoking them is Matthew.
Matthew is my brother. He's sixteen years old and does a lot of things a boy his age shouldn't do. Now, this isn't just because I'm LDS, I've always had high standards and Matthew just ruins all of them. I'll ask him about it tomorrow when my mum isn't home. He won't lie about it if I ask - he did admit to doing drugs to me. If it was him smoking though, I'll be disappointed in him.
Time to stop thinking about Matthew though. I've got an episode of Inuyasha to finish! I just got into the show tonight when Heather, the older sister of my boyfriend Phil, had me watch a bit from the 90th episode where the main character's little brother is dressed up as Detective Conan without the glasses! It was HILARIOUS! We were laughing so much.
Actually, before Inuyasha I really need to do my Mayhem Monday story before midnight. This site, Synthetic Truth, is an AMAZING story site. I'll post some of the stuff I've written in this blog tomorrow...or tonight depending on when I get done the Mayhem Monday thing.
Well I feel that this is like a proper blog post. It's longer than my others have been and I'm quite pleased with that. And I love keeping track of what I DO in my life. Problem is...I've never been good at keeping any sort of diary or journal since I became interested in the Internet. I was pretty good and writing a lot in those things when I was like in elementary school and early middle school, but now...I dunno. I just have trouble feeling motivated to do it I guess. I'll try to post in this though. I really will.

Neach? Or Pectarine?
I just ate a peach...or maybe a nectarine. I'm really not sure. It was from Trader Joe's. Apparently, the boxes that the peaches and nectarines come in all say peaches on them. And peaches and nectarines sort of look the same. *shrugs* Whatever. It was really really GOOD.
Will most definitely be posting again soon
So I've completely failed at blogging like I was planning, but starting tomorrow I'm definitely going to post EVERY DAY. REALLY. I AM. And I'll post what I thought of a lot of Doctor Who episodes. And I'll post my writing on here. And YouTube videos.
