Rain

I love the rain.

I love playing in it.

I also didn't realize until today how much I love rain boots and rain coats, but standing there in a puddle with water up to my calves, yet completely dry from my head to my toes; it's a good feeling. So I stayed in Bountiful because I now have to drive my parents' car home because Chailee is bringing it up because her car doesn't work. I guess Tanya and I were just meant to spend a day at lagoon together. I love everything.

It was a great day at lagoon at any rate. One of my favorites. We rode on almost every single ride we could, and then we got rained out. Yes, we even rode Rattlesnake Rapids while it was raining. There were like ten people left in the park. This large islandish lady was operating what looked like a little kid's ride. She told us it was the most awesome ride in the park and that we just didn't know what was coming. Turns out, it was the most awesome ride in the park. You drive your own airplane up and down trying to dodge the water squirting out of various ocean animals mouths. I got Tanya all sorts of wet.

This is Hardy

And I party. Said it.

I love it here.

But.

I have a conflict of emotions. At least it's not of interest, unless it's like the interest of God and Satan in me, but I get that pretty much everywhere. Although, It was the first time I had a girl pull out a condom and say "If you laugh then I get to have sex with you." I laughed, what else could I do. It was funny. We didn't have sex. I went my entire 17 year without kissing anyone :) I haven't kissed anyone since I've been 18 either, in case you were wondering. Could have though. Go me.

Weird that I'm 18 now. I'm old, I'm legal, right? Well, it's not like I'm going to get in any more trouble that I would have when I was 17 because I would have been tried as an adult anyway, and you can't smoke until you're 19 in Utah anyway (thanks Dallas). So, pretty much, nothing is different. Although I did get this weird feeling at midnight of, uh, today. So, possible I've acquired super-human powers and I may become a superhero or supervillain.

But anyway, back to the conflict that I was talking about before I remembered that it was my birthday and that I denied someone from having, uh, me.

I don't really want to go home, but my only options for going home are either tomorrow with my parents, or in two weeks with my sister. I don't want to stay for two more weeks. Why? Well obviously the answer to this problem is an all-resolving answer. I'll just put in in three words. I have no car.

If I had a car, I could go home whenever I like. I could go anywhere I like. I could go to Idaho, I could go to Nevada and smoke. I could drive down that street to the store. Sadly, I haven't a vehicular, and I am stuck here like a stranded lizard on an island at Lake Powell. Geez, where is my liberation? Thanks for nothing18th birthday. Said it. But anyway I just got off the phone with my Mom. I guess I'm going home tomorrow. I guess I better go tell everyone goodbye... Ah! I don't want to leave already! What the eff David Blaine? This is really unfair.

K, well, if you don't wish me a happy birthday today, then I don't know you.
