Sleepy Days and Pirates

I don't know why, but recently all I've wanted to do is sleep 16 hours a day. I don't get the chance to do that, really, so my days have become a constant struggle not to fall asleep. The weather is perfect for sleeping: it's either too hot, or it's rainy and gray. There have been a couple of events which have helped me, in a way, fight my somnia (there probably isn't such a word, yet it would be logical for this to be the opposite of insomnia).

1. Visitors: Kerry Curtis and his friend Daren came over from Canada. Kerry is an ex-ACS teacher, and Daren is his current colleague in the town of Lindsay (17,000 people! And they all know each other!!). It had been two years since we last saw Kerry... There was a lot to talk about. Several ex-seniors (a.k.a. graduates), two alumni from the class of 2001/2, and one junior-to-be spent the evening with the two visitors, doing the most vital of things: eating and having fun. That was on Thursday evening.

2. Birthday: July 14 is one of the most popular dates for a birthday. I know 3 people from ACS who have a birthday that day: Mimi Shoteva, Patty Anderson, and Iliana. The third one was the most special person that day because she had a great birthday party which consisted of a visit to the O!Shipka pizza place and an "afterparty" at a nearby disco. Mihaela, Milena, and I had to skip the disco because Mom wanted me home early, and I wanted to drive my two friends to their homes. In the end, I was home by 00:16 which made Mom happy.

3. Drooling: My friends and I had been waiting for this summer to come for quite a long time. Why? Because of a certain movie about one (Captain) Jack Sparrow. Yes, finally, the sequel!! POTC: Dead Man's Chest, hooray! Johnny Depp is the best! Like I said, drool!

Now if you have a wild imagination, you may even consider the dog below Captain Jack Sparrow (despite the irregular eyes and general not-so-johnny-deppy look:)
