"We found drugs!" says Anne

Hello, there!

I'm finally out of school, and it's officially the summer of 08! Let's hear a big HOORAY!

Well, if you read my last post and you're curious, I've decided to stick with my gut and not do any dirty things. Besides, Shelly and I made a vow not to anyway.

Well, hmm, the school week was boring until the last day. Everyone was counting down until the bell rang, and so we all got very excited when boarding the buses. I had Anne come home with me for the afternoon, because then we were going to stay over at Shelly's. So while we were waiting for Shelly to get back from her dentist appointment, Anne and I went for a walk in the forest next to my house. I got some really beautiful photos of the forest and this little river, so I was pleased with that. Everything was finally blooming, including all the beautiful flowers. [See the first and last pictures above.]
Well, anyway, we began to walk up this terribly steep hill loaded with pine trees and fallen branches. I fell quite a lot, since I'm not a good hiker, but we still made it surprisingly to the top. I was ahead of Anne, so when I got to the top and saw it, I was like "Whoa...." and so she said "What?!" and I pointed. There before us stood some rusty, creepy old abandoned shed. Now that probably doesn't sound at all weird, but trust me, it is. Why, you might ask? Because it's in the middle of freaking nowhere! There's no other building around here, or anything. Just a random shed. We looked inside, and there was a pile of something in the middle but it was too rusted over and covered with dirt for us to tell what it was. [See the second picture above of Anne peeking inside.]
So if that wasn't weird enough, when we came down the hill, we went to the other side and found these tree branches that were perfectly arranged in this scary looking tower. I wish I had a picture to show you guys, but my camera died right about then.
And just before it died, I looked at the base of a tree and saw some rope with two mysterious objects. They were bags of something, though they look like bean bags, and so I thought they were bean bags. But then I poked it with my foot, and there's something much more solid than beads or whatever inside. Dude, they were so heavy, it took quite an effort to raise them with our feet. I really don't know what's in them, but Anne thinks it's drugs. And I guess that's a possibility, seeing all the beer bottles lying around the area too, but still, who knows. We're going to go back down there again shortly, though armed, and we're going to open them up. [The bags are the third picture above.]

So yes, we went to Shelly's, and the following day (yesterday) we had a party at our friend Spencer's house to go to. It was really fun, and hehe...it went from eight to midnight, so we were playing night games outside. Since where I live is the rainiest place on the planet, it had rained that day, so there were puddles literally soaking his lawn. It was dark, and none of us could see them, so we all got soaked running around. I was wearing my red high tops, and well, they got soaked to the top. And Shelly lost her shoe in a puddle of mud, and that was ultimately hilarious. But all in all, it was a good time.

I didn't do diddly squat today. I was waiting for Monica to call me to hang out at her house, because we were going to rent a movie and watch it together and have Geoff and Jared (her honey) over. But no, Monica never called, and when I called her, there was no answer the entire day. So I'm a bit pissy now.

Well, enjoy the photos, and now I'm on summer vacay, I'll post a bit more frequently. Ciao!
