First Weeks of Summer

Yes, I know I suck at this. I'm sorry.

So, the first day of summer I rode my bike down to Copper Hills (Biking is something I do during the summer, so I thought it worked to kick it off...) then I thought I'd make sure that I knew how to get myself to Jeremiah's house, since we were trying to plan a band practice for that weekend. So I stopped by his house... And we decided to have the practice right then. Which, as always, we got little done and ended up trying to film a new movie anyways. We only got half done with that, though, before I had to go home. (Jeremiah still needs to finish the other one we filmed months ago!)

So that night was Kayleen's dance performance, which also included Brielle, Jaden, and Lia. After that we drove to Grandma's house and stayed the night. We went to the Chico Reunion with them the next day. Chico, California, is the town where I was born, and where my parents grew up. Most of the people that lived there now live here in Utah, so every year they have a big reunion. Me and Kayleen went to that with Grandma and Grandpa Norris and represented the Timothy Norris Family.

Next week was the beginning of Driver's Ed. It's actually just "Here's a packet and a textbook, do whatever you want as long as you get stuff done and don't distract the teacher." And we watched movies every once in a while... Like driving videos. But I met this cool kid named James who's been home schooled most of his life. He's really funny. (I should go find his e-mail and message him... K done. =D )

Umm... what else have I done? I spent an afternoon at Skye Park with Garrett, Ryan, Jeremiah, Maya, Elizabeth, and her friend Dayne. Then near the end Bekah showed up, limping and with a brace on her knee. I had to support her as she hobbled down the stairs... Poor Bekah. This is going out to all of you... DON'T HURT YOURSELF. It makes me feel... bad... Like "AUG! My friend is in pain..." It puts me in pain, okay? So don't do it.

But she was doing fine, because the next day Evan invited her, Daniel, and myself to go to the temple and do baptisms, and then we took her home and Rachel K. was there, and so we actually ended up having a party at Bekah's house with the five of us. And I must say... MAN OH MAN THAT WAS A BALL! I love those guys. =D

So I've been biking to Copper Hills every morning... And my mind likes to wander while I'm biking. So I've actually written two songs while I've been biking. It's kind of funny.

What else have I done... I hung out with Quin. That was fun. OH YEAH. I've decided that MFA was not only a total copyrighting issue, but it was poorly written and... Well it just crashed. So I'm scrapping that. I am, however, beginning writing a new story that I've had ideas for for a long time. It does not have a name yet... And I hope to be better with this then with MFA.

There was also Big Event. That was fun. We went Shotgun shooting, and it was my first time shooting a shotgun, and I hit 5/5 birds. I tribute it to the timing I've built playing video games. =D We also went repelling, which was fun. It was kind of funny cause the helpers at the bottom weren't paying attention when I was going down, until one of them said "Oh, here comes another guy." And then I heard "Jarom Norris." And I landed on the ground and to my surprise, there was Xander. He was working at Big Event at the repelling wall. We went Rock Climbing, too... I made it 3 feet off the ground before I couldn't go any further. The things were too small and my feet kept slipping off. I couldn't climb. So that was a fail... I saw Jonathan C. there, too, and he told me that Jacob V. and Samgee were there somewhere.

Monday was Evan's birthday, so we (Daniel, Bekah, Rachel, and myself) went and kidnapped him... That was interesting. Then we went and had a party at my house. That was even more interesting. I love that group...

Oh, and Raechel injured herself. Biffed it on her bike, scrapes all over, stitches on her chin. I went over to her house so I could talk to her and make her feel better. And then Robby showed up. And then we went outside and Calvin came over. So we ended up having a party instead of what I had planned... But oh well.

Umm... I think that's about it. I'll come back if I think of anything.

Goodbye, Midvale...

Well, as you can see, I suck at this. Annoyingly enough, this layout will not let me show you the date of the post... but that last one was on May 31. Today is June 14. Crap... Why do I have the feeling like there was something important on June 14th? My calender says nothing but Flag Day... Which reminds me to go see if our flag is out... Surprise Surprise, it's not. Nor is it in the closet where we keep it... Umm... Strange. Why would anyone take that anywhere but to the flag post without Mom knowing?

Random thought - Don't you love little things that you know only you would notice? Especially about your room. I always know when someone's been in my room. Like this morning, I was sitting on my bed, and I realized... That Rubik's Cube was green side up yesterday... and now it's orange side up. Hmm... Or the other day there was a piece of paper that I hadn't even seen in a while that is now mysteriously on the ground where I put my phone and wallet every night.

Anyways, lots of things have happened since my last post... the first one I believe would be Lagoon Day. That was epicly awesome. I got to spend all day going on rides hanging out with Jeremiah and Ryan, the Choir (Including Mr. and Mrs. Smith!), and a whole gaggle of my other amazing freinds! I had a blast. The next day was the last day of school, and we had the talent show, that was good... And then a drawing, in which I kept my tradition of never winning anything... And then we had a time to sign yearbooks and say goodbye... And that was it. The school year is over, and we've left Midvale behind... Such a sorrowful parting... Anyways that night we had a year end party at Classic Skating, with Rachel O. and Allie and Bekah and Jessica and Evan and Daniel and Lucky. I had a lot of fun, even though I fail at skating... I had fun just being with them.
