Summer '08..

is pretty much over.

There are like three more days left, and my summer assignment is still sitting on my desk, touched, but unfinished. One more chapter to read, and a bunch of writing to do. That's a lot of progress for me though. Anyway, enough about my boring and retarded summer assignment. I actually had a reason to write this post LOL. Note: I'll probably edit the note if I have anything else to say.

Let me start off by saying that I had the most awesome summer this year. Well, I guess I'm only saying this because I'm only comparing it to the crappy summers I've had prior to this one, but I guess it's still saying something, right? The whole month or two before school ended, almost every day after school and almost every weekend, I'd be out in Chinatown, just chillin', y'know? I always watched people playing street ball, and I've always thought it was amazing how people shoot so far from the basket and still make the shot, and how people did lay-ups and drive-ins, and things like those, but I never thought I'd actually take up the sport myself.

I remember in the 8th grade, I'd go to the park and just have a little fun shooting around until the guys wanted to play a real game, and now it's the summer of 11th grade, and the unexpected is seen by everyone - Sharon actually IN the games. I'd have to thank Danny & Jeff for all the encouragement, praise and even mini-lessons on shooting fouls, lay-ups and bettering my 3-pointers. Now, I think I've let go of the fears I had about playing in games. I'd also have to thank Jian for those drills - you know what drills I'm talkin' about - but I still can't really shoot from the side. -Insert cryface here.- I'd also have to thank everyone else, like Wyman, Calvin, Ke, Jason and whoever else I neglected to mention, for including me in games. They were really fun, and I loved the experience. Plus, I've gained so many new friends (through other friends) who have a mutual feeling of friendship with me; like c'mon, do I even need to mention names? Haha (: P.S. Jian, thanks for being there to listen to my rants, complaints and uncertainty about things and for telling me things that I needed to hear in order to control my insecurities and to boost my self-esteem, especially in the middle of the night too.

June 25th - Man, I sprained my ankle this day. Thanks to everyone who was there to help and support me, physically & emotionally, for telling me that everything was going to be okay, and reassuring me. It was such a tearfest day for me, and pretty embarassing, as I don't like to cry when I get hurt, but I've never gotten hurt like that before. If it ever happens again, I promise you all that there won't be any tears falling from my eyes. Biggest thanks to Jeff though - he carried me all the way to the train station, and boy, with my weight and his amount of strength, it was pretty hard.. I don't know how I would have gotten home without him.

July 4th - My ankle was definitely not mostly healed yet, but it wasn't that bad - I could at least limpwalk with it. Danny, Jeff & Tony most graciously came over to my place to hang out with ME! Thanks you guys, you could have been out with friends and stuff (I think it was Jay's birthday thing?), but yet you guys chose to hang with me. That was really heartwarming and touching. It helped to make me feel so much closer to you guys, physically & figuratively. We didn't even do much at my place, like honestly, what DID we do? Watch Hard Gay, and go eat dinner with my mom and brothers, pretty much right? Oh and watch me suffer, trying to walk to and from places. LOL.

July 11th - My departure day to Thailand. I'm still amazed that you guys dressed up and took me to the airport so early in the morning, when you could have been sleeping and resting, instead of dragging my luggage around. I'm glad you guys did though! :) This also made me feel closer to you guys; it made me realize that I have friends who'd be there. I don't think you guys know this, but once we've waved each other goodbye, I started tearing, knowing I wouldn't see you guys for the definite three weeks. And remember when I called? I was on the verge of tears, just hearing your voices because I knew I wouldn't be able to for a long time. I would have called once I got to Thailand, but I knew I'd cry, because I knew I was so far away from you guys. I can't even tell you how many times I teared and cried because I missed you guys so much. Maybe not just you two, but you know what I mean. But definitely, much love to you two always, Danny & Jeff.

July 31st - My arrival day back to New York. Danny called me afterschool, at like 1, asking if I was back yet. Well if I answered, OF COURSE ;D! So I go out to Chinatown and saw everyone again! Oh man, I missed you guys A LOT. Ankle still wasn't that great, I think, don't really remember this day well.

August 6th - My departure day to Maryland for a week-ish. Danny, I'm sorry I got you into trouble, and pretty much screwed you over for like two weeks. Any apologies for that can't make up for what happened, I know, but I'm hoping that it's enough. You still found time to talk to me during the week I was gone, but I'm happy for that because I was bored out of my wits.

August 11th - My arrival day back to New York (yet again). I'm not exactly sure what I did this day.. I think I just went home and just chilled with everyone the next day.

August 17th - Iceskating with cool kids ;D Not that those who didn't go aren't cool, they're just not as cool. I mean like, it was freezing at the rink man LOL. Calvin and Wyman and everyone else seemed to have quickly picked up the whole skating thing, but I couldn't, and I've skated way more than they have, probably. Sorry some of you couldn't make it, it would have been really fun WITH you guys, like Danny & Jian.

August 22nd - An almost-failed beach day.. Lots of camming and model status wanna-be's. Did not read my book at all, as planned. It was like a major bum day.

August 28th - A picnic day @ Battery Park. I'm sorry for telling you guys to get there at such an early time when I couldn't even make it at that time. I hope you guys don't hold that against me and that it didn't ruin your day because we were late. I'm glad you guys had fun, and I'm glad everyone (well almost) was able to make it. I thought it was a successful picnic thingie, and I hope you guys thought so too. Also, I'm sure that everyone was enlightened by that arrogant guy at the handball court and his entitlement to 30 minutes. I really enjoyed the day, even though by the end of it, I wasn't feeling so great. Things got better though (: Stephy, thanks for educating us about the future of our world. It scared us fucking shitless, but thank you. Getting home at 2 in the morning was such an experience. Dead-fucking-tired.

August 29th - A chill day @ Amy's. Ferry ride & simply chilling at the house. First time playing Twister, of course I failed miserably, epically. I was also able to relive my childhood for a good hour or so, by watching Mulan, thanks. Playing 20 questions, and being a bystander for Mafia(/Terrorist) was awesome. Trust me, 20 questions will be in my near-future.

Honestly, I don't even really remember what happened between the 12th and the 28th anymore. I know I jay'd Jason three times in one game. No, I'm never going to let that go, because that's the most "trash" I can talk that's true - even if you guys say that Jason is tiny & is very easily jay'd. I really, really liked playing basketball with all of you! All of you know that you guys underestimated me, and watched many other strangers underestimate me (then laughed at them for doing so, right? Haha). MVP right here, I'm gonna become famous for playing pro-ball, and I'm going to remember all of you! JUST KIDDING - me, pro-baller? Psycheeee! But I'll definitely remember all of you; we'll have to keep in touch and hopefully stay friends for a very long time, if not forever.

Everyone, thanks for including me in your plans. I never knew friendship could emit so much love, enough to swallow me, and open up another side of me that even I didn't know, a side that might have never lived before. You guys are simply the best; the smiles and laughter I've given and had were all genuine, except for sometimes, when the tears and frowns were apparent. Thanks for all the jokes, and the smiles, and the laughter, and just everything you guys have done.

Bottom line(s),
THANKS FOR MAKING MY SUMMER GREAT AND MEMORABLE.
I LOVE YOU ALL WITH MORE THAN ALL THE LOVE IN THE WORLD.

&i love you. 080308.
