...like temperatures when they're at their lowest...

Wow, it's been a while since I left a really long post like I used to. Maybe now will be when those start back up--I don't know yet.

I got my license on Thursday!! That was exciting for me..and I wasn't really even that nervous. Now I can go look for a job, which suprisingly--I want to do. I kind of want more of a responsibility and freedom. Getting a job will earn back any trust I have lost with my parents, because it'll show them I'm responsible and can be trusted being left alone on weekends all the time and everythign else. Sooner or later, they're going to have to let me do more things on my own--let me learn from my mistakes. Ya know?

I didn't get to stay home this weekend and go to the dance on Friday night and the local band's show on Saturday night--which really sucked because I couldn't hang out with the two people I haven't seen since homecoming, and also hang out with other friends. I was soo bummed. It couldn've been a good time. Oh well.

Friday we went up to my cabin, and a few people came over. I got to play with three little kids for a few hours. It was fun...they were soooo cute, and very polite. It was a really fun night.

Saturday I really didn't do anything at all--I didn't even leave my cabin, cuz it was below zero with a huge wind chill all day..so that sucks. I think the highest temperature it got to was 2 degrees. Later that night my uncle, cousin Madison, grandparents on my dad's side, another older couple, and Randy and Nick came over. Madison was totally wired...I don't know why but she was hilarious!! Then I was sitting by Randy (a lil oldr than my dad but he's so funny), and he kept picking on me while I was trying to watch the Gopher hockey game, so I went to sit on the floor inbetween Nick and my mom...and I was waiting for Nick to get up so I could steal his chair. And when he did, I stole it. Then he came back and wanted it back but I told him it was mine now because he got up, so he sat on me because I wouldn't budge, and then I moved and he sat on the front of the chair. Randy had to leave, and Nick just stayed there until after the game was over. He was practically sitting on top of me....but I didn't care--he's cute and nice and it felt good to have a guy that close to me again. Then he moved after like a half hour or so...and only because his cousin texted him and when he tried texting back his phone wouldn't do it ebcause there wasn't enough signal where he was sitting, so he moved to the other chair because it was closer to the window. About a half hour after the game ended, he walked back to Randy's cabin (down the road...but--it was COLD outside!!), and he wouldn't take a ride from anyone. After he left, then everyone else started slowly leaving too. Nick is like an older brother I never had though, because he's almost 21 (will be on March 11th), so I don't have a chance with him. But I think if I were older--something would happen between us because he acts like he likes me but won't do anything since I'm only 16. I don't mind flirting though...hehe. I don't like him...I just think he's really cute and nice. He's awesome.

Today, we stopped by where my sister's staying and visited her...and then dropped my younger sister off at where she's babystting, and then came home. I went and got DQ for my parents and me, and then I haven't done anything else since then. Oh well, I had a good enough weekend.

I talked to Alan a little bit tonight. It was kind of fun because I haven't had that long of a conversation with him in a long time (even though it was only for like 15-20 minutes). I'm thinking that now that I have my license, me and Trivia will have to go down to CC...I just need someone (which she said she would ---> to help pay for gas and whatever, and we'll be set. So I think sometime this summer or later this school year...yep. It'll be fun....I think.

Well, g'nite all....
