For the first half of my break, I was down near LA, visiting some old friends. I really have fun with them, but this trip sort of showed that our actual friendship, without other stimulus like being at the beach, or skiing, or any of that isn't really that strong. We mostly watched TV (I saw so many episodes of House and Family Guy!) and sometimes went swimming. It wasn't like I didn't have fun, just not as much as we had when we were 8.
We made some really stupid videos, and for one we made a dummy. That dummy was awesome! It was some of the boys' clothes, stuffed with stuffed animals. It was really lumpy, and it's top half kept falling off. We just laid it on the couch, and me and Rachel would always use it as a pillow when we watched TV. It was really comfortable, actually.
