i'm so excited...i just can't hide it

it's been a fun couple of days. yesterday i went kayaking with august. i think i may have scared her driving over there. we were looking for parking and i was in the left lane. she then points to a space along the curb on the right side and goes "there's one!". so, i did what any person looking for parking in a limited parking area would do...checked my mirror and saw that no one was in the right lane and then swerved into the spot. haha...august thinks i didn't look well enough. but honest no on was coming! at all! anyways, we went over to spinnaker bay (by the naples canals) and saw the moon jellies that gather there. pretty cool stuff! and they don't sting, so you can hold them. haha...i was scared at first, but when i did hold one it felt much more substantial than i'd thought and very slimy. we also jumped in the water (well, i didn't exactly jump) i was standing on the kayak close to the wall and then it started moving away from the wall, leaving me hanging on the edge and screaming that there was a jelly fish under me...very graceful if you ask me :). so, we swam with the jellies, but screamed each time we accidentally touched one haha.

after kayaking we went and got pizza on second street, where the people working told us that it was happy hour and if you buy two pieces of pizza you get a free thing of beer. we were just like "oh, okay" and weren't going to say anything, but they all started talking in low voices and then one of them goes "wait, how old are you guys?" i replied "im 17 and she is 16". they all thought we looked over 21. i'm not sure if that is a compliment...hummm? haha. to say the least it was a slightly awkward experience.

i then got to see august's new room and we looked at her pictures...some quite...ummm interesting? haha but funny!



tennis starts tomorrow!!! i'm SUPER EXCITED!!!
well, best be off to bed...night, night!
