Texas Bound part 2

Here is my second installment, in the four part "Texas Bound" series. Right now I have no idea why I am calling it Texas bound because I'm already here, I'm not heading for it.

Dear everybody,

Okay, so after all the events today, I haven't had too much time to work on my letters. Everybody else is doing something, and I just want a few minutes to myself. So far today, I watched 3 movies, kicked a soccer ball around in the cold for about half an hour, played video games, did some artwork, and I ate a full Thanksgiving meal and since it is my cuz's birthday, I had cookies for desert. It doesn't seem like a lot right now, but trust me, it's about 8:00 right now, and I woke up 11 hours ago. All of that has gotten me through the day.

Despite the fact that it's cold here, it is actually really nice...well, inside it is. It isn't exactly like I remember it but it's still nice here. I do miss having the companionship of other teenagers though but it's nice hanging out with my family...but I really don't like being asked "So what did you dream about last night?"

Good news though, I actually found some cacti! I'll bring a piece home with me and if I remember, I'll bring it to school. I haven't found much else though, but I'm going shopping tomorrow, on black Friday. I don't have any money but I figure I'd take a picture and maybe give Jordan a quote for his article on black Friday for the paper. Believe it or not, despite all I've done today, there really isn't anything else I want to write, except: I miss you guys...believe it or not...but, you know, last time I left the state I left things in pretty bad shape with my friends. None of them were talking to me, and I wasn't talking to them. Now...now, I've gotten rid of a couple of them (actually they got rid of me, but that isn't the point here) and I got friends that are...so much better. I mean, you guys know when I'm down and want to help me through whatever problems I have...and you make fun of my old best friends! And right now, I actually need that. Besides, over the summer, I gave up on boys and all hope of having a crush but right now...there are actually two boys that I like.

Can't wait to see all of you!
