I value:
family
friends
laughter
love
I am one of the most accepting people you will ever meet
I'll try my best to brighten your day
I give good advice, but fail to take it
I am my own person,
and nothing you can say or do will make me feel less
because I control my own happiness
I believe in love;
even though it doesn't always appear to exist.
When all hope is lost things can get crazy.
I've changed a lot in the past two years
life does that too you.
I care about the world
and want to make a difference.

Today wasn't so bad.  I got up around 9, had coffee [my aunt Missy made it, and damn, she makes good coffee] and got ready to go on the boat.  It's become kind of obvious that my parents don't really want me around.  They kicked me out of their cabin [that I was supposed to stay in] and they also didn't want me on the boat with them.  My aunt Missy and uncle Kevin brought their boat with them, and my parents were on it, and when Ashley and I went to see what was up with them, my parents and aunt and uncle didn't seem to want us around...ohwell.  
Out on the river it was pretty nice.  We saw one alligator, which was cool, I guess, but I can see them in my backyard, so it's not that big a deal to me.  The boat trip was peaceful for the most part until my aunt Kimberly decided to tell me how to live my life.  She told me that I'm too smart to be an event planner, and that just made me annoyed.  Thankgod for Gary [my aunts boyfriend] though, he pretty much told her that it's more than what it seems and it would be a good thing for me to do.  He earned a lot of points with me for that.  
Since there are a lot of springs around here, my family decided that they wanted to go to one, so we went to one that you could access by boat.  It was called Fanny Springs, and damn was it cold.  I was only in the water for about 5 minutes before I decided to get out.  I always forget how cold the water is until I go to get in.  I suppose you could consider it refreshing if you've just run 10 miles or done something else that gets your really hot and sweaty, but when you've just been chilling out on a boat of a few hours, it's more cold then refreshing.
After the springs, we decided to begin to head back to the dock.  I tried the jet ski [for the 2nd time, the 1st was last summer in Ocala] and I did okay; the highest speed I hit was 40 because I was scared I was going to fall off.  Everyone else went fishing and while they started doing that, my uncle Jimmy said that he'd give $100 to the first person to catch a fish.  He's not known for keeping his word, so no one believed him, so when Gary caught the first fish, it wasn't a surprise when he didn't pay up.  
After fishing, things went downhill.  Now, normally, I don't get into debates, but sometimes my mouth just won't stop, and thats what happened.  My uncle is highly close minded and he doesn't like anything that doesn't fit into what he believes is normal.  He believes that the world is black and white, and I'm sorry, but the world has never, and will never be black and white.  I personally believe that's bullshit, and I felt the need to inform him of that.  I got really pissed off, and we argued about a lot of different things.  I sometimes don't understand how I'm related to the people in my family.
I made brownies when we got back, and while they were cooking, I hung out in my parents cabin while they sat outside on the porch.  Ashley, Shane and Forrest [Gary's son] were off somewhere getting drunk [and more for 2].  When I caught back up with them, Ashley was having a little bit of trouble walking, so dinner was interesting.  After that, we got to go shoot off fireworks and I used a Bic lighter for the first time in my life.  I also got to light mortars...  :].  There were a lot of fireworks going off; it was a pretty nice display of explosives.  
If you've never had a smore, then you need help.  Ashley has never had a smore until today.  Gary built a fire after the fireworks and we all sat around chilling out, making smores.  Well, Ashley, Forrest, my aunt Barbara and I that is.  Shane left to hang out with a friend that lives nearby and no one else wanted any.  They were too busy with their drinks.  After about 30 minutes, everyone decided to turn in but Ashley, Forrest and I.  He had to stay up and wait for Shane and Ashley just wasn't tired.  We hung out with him, and wow, he's nothing like what I thought he was going to be, which isn't a bad thing.  He's a pretty nice, and he's talkative once he opens up.  Shane got back a little before 2, which is when I decided that I needed to go to bed, and yet here I am, at 2:40 typing away.  I'm going to bed after this though, I'm tired.  So, I guess that's the end of day 1's adventure...nightnight.
