She lives again!

Yeah, I kind of disappeared for a little while there...life's been kind of crazy this past week. One of my dad's friends stayed with us for a couple days. He's Scottish, and lives in the U.K. He's also an actor (has a background role in HP 2, actually), and a really, really good piano player. He left this afternoon. Something else happened that I won't discuss at length, as I'm still kind of embarrassed by it, but the short story is, my crush doesn't like me like I like her...Hopefully we'll still be friends. Uhhh....other than that, most of the school week was just too much homework and me feeling stressed. Yesterday, me, my dad and his friend went to Old Sturbridge Village. I tried to convince my dad to go to Higgins Armory (It's basically a museum of old armor and weaponry...very cool, and I haven't been there in ages), but no luck. OSV was fun anyway. It's a recreated 19th century village, with people dressed in appropriate costume walking around, and answering questions about life in the 1800s. Well, actually, the main village isn't recreated. It's all 19th century building taken from various parts of New England, and put together there. Pretty cool, I think. Today was uninteresting, except my brother's soccer game. I hung out with Link, and we had a very....interesting conversation. Grah. I need to relax. Like really relax. And I need to do my essay for English.
