I have not posted anything in over two weeks. I've been meaning to, but things kept coming up and I couldn't get on the computer, and life demanded to be lived and not written about. But writing is just as much a part of my life as, say, school or friends or playing with my dog. And there has to be a healthy balance between all of these loves and responsibilities that a 14 year old might have. And while, yes, sometimes one thing needs extra attention, and I certainly do not regret (nor will I ever regret) letting my room stay trashed so I can go to the beach with my friends, there is one thing that centers me and keeps me feeling like I have something together. That thing is writing, and I've been abandoning it lately. This will change.

This week, I made a new blogging friend. She was already my friend who I met via Twitter. We were kiking the other day, and she casually dropped into conversation a "you write blog posts, right?" Yes. That I do. I'll spare you the details, but go check out my beautiful-souled friend Ainhoa's new blog. Her twitter is @yoursweetsmile. And she's just good and kind and I'm lucky to know her. I am better for it.
Today marks the 8th consecutive day of unbearable heat, and we've found not-so creative ways to survive. Like putting our heads inside of the freezer sitting in front of the air conditioner and swimming.
I introduced Kate and Bobby to the concept of going in further than up to your ankles. And body surfing. And getting hit by passing rocks and shells that the waves carry with them. (their only argument for not previously doing these things is that I'm tall and they're short. Which is true, but no excuse)
So, other than all of that, school is almost over and I didn't put much effort into this post. Have a wonderful day.
