How the other half lives

So on Memorial Day I went to an open house for my new neighbors

Correction. On Memorial Day I toured an immaculate, magazine ready house IO have ever been in, which belongs to a family from the wealthiest area of the state who will reside in this house on some weekends.

They have four houses.

FOUR HOUSES.

Did that sink in for you yet?

If not...

FOUR FREAKING HOUSES

The family consists of the parents, a nine year old girl, a 13 year old boy (Who I have yet to meet :3) and a fifteen year old boy. (The brothers weren't at the open house because they had to study for final exams. Their private school ends in 4 days. #richkidprobs)

I was talking to the 9 year old, who for now will be called Abby (Not as in Richard's Abby Poodle) (who I hope I can steal the babysitting gigs for before my sisters) and I was complementing her room (which like all the rooms, was all white with color details) and she was asking me about my room. (Blue and green walls with a loft bed, if you're curious) 

She asks "Do you have your own bathroom?"

Are. You. Kidding. Me.

The nine year old girl is asking me if I have my own bathroom because she does and that's what she's used to. Kid, I don't even have my own room. 

A NINE YEAR OLD HAS HER OWN BATHROOM

Did I mention? Each kid had their own bathroom attached to their bedroom. In addition, the parents had a master bathroom and there was two extra bathrooms, one on each floor. That's six bathrooms. I have nine rooms in my whole house. wth.

This girl was amazed by my neighbors sheep. Who knows if she had ever even seen a sheep in real life before. By the time I was her age, I had seen, pet, held, and bottle fed sheep. Just the other day I had to help give a two day old sheep a shot and dock it's tail then make it drink because it's mother has the maternal instincts of a pineapple. (Whenever I've worked on the neighbors farm this last week, I've heard the baby bah-ing every so often because the mother will go into the orchard, leave the baby there, and forget about him/her. Again, a pineapple could do a better job.)

When I was trying to keep the kid at the open house entertained, we decided to play red light green light. We had to explain the game to the girl, which couldn't believe because in my town, that's all we did in grade school at recess. When I was talking to my sister, I said "She didn't know what red light green light is." my sister responded with. "Does she know what an iPad is?"

Overall, the family was very nice and I'm am glad to have new, friendly neighbors.
But still, four houses?!

I am Superman.

Today I went to Lake Compounce in CT and two of my friends and I went on Skycoaster, which is one of those ones where it brings you up 185 feet in a harness attached to cables and then lets go and you swing down over the park. 

It's one of the most epic things I have done in my entire life (All 13 years, folks!!!) 

My friends, Cass and Liv, went with me, and they were swearing the whole time... I was singing Vaya Des Fiestas, a song we sang in chorus...
The worst part was when we were almost at the top just waiting for them to give the okay, and also when they gave us strict directions but didn't tell us why...
But it was totally worth $15 and the wait and anticipation. I felt like I was flying. I remember yelling, "I am Superman" or something cheesy like that, but that is how great it felt. If I ever had any fear of heights, I am now cured. It was amazing.

It's funny how many people had stopped to watch us though. A ton of people from school had gone on, but everyone seemed interested in solely watching up. Kay and this kid Kyle both video taped it, then I found out random people had too. It was kind of strange, because we are not excessively popular, but I found it humorous.

This post is kind of lameeeeeee

So last night karate was awesome for a few reasons...
1. It was a sparring night.
2. I beat Jake in our sparring match
3. Matt brought his friend Steve to karate, who was cute rather cute quite cute very cute oh my gosh you should have seen this boy he was very attractive. He was nice too. And he could fight with style too.
3.5. It was funny because me, Matt, and Jake all have identical bruises on our right shins from clashing the same way. No one realized they weren't the only ones until we were all rubbing our shins.

I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooo hungry...

You know, I don't watch Adventure Time a lot, but once in awhile it will come on after I watch a movie of something, and it is just so weird it's almost compelling to watch. There was this one we=here they befriended a bear and it started living with Jake and Finn and like, tried to replace Finn of something... (I didn't get that far) On another note, the Pokemon tv series has caused the most epileptic seizures in history.

Still hungry, but there is not many satisfying snacks when you can't chew from braces.

I'm going to do something even less productive than this, after I "watch" a video for French... ;D

Conspiracy Theory

 So, what if Mickey Mouse is trying to take over the world and Disney is his cover up empire? It's totally legit too. Did you ever notice how virtually everywhere you look you can find a mickey mouse head?

He's watching you.

He is ALWAYS watching you.

He can hypnotize you too, with the music.

"It's a small world after all, it's a small world after all, it's a small world after all, it's a small, small world."

Spread the word. I would, but now I fear he is coming for me.
