Summer's Coming

Blech. Summer. I was born in the summer, but that doesn't mean that I like it. Too hot. Too stuffy. And it makes me grouchy, grouchy, grouchy. It's getting hotter, and the shorts are coming out. At least at my school. Though it's kinda gross when they're wearing super-short shorts that don't fit, and they squeeze their skin like spandex. Even though it's part of the dress code to not wear them shorter than finger-tip length, nobody seems to care (which is unfair to me, because I feel like I have long arms--and a shorter body-- and my fingertips reach right above my knee. So the only shorts I could wear are basketball shorts). The vice principal just walked by some girls, and then she smiled and just said, "Good morning." Curiouser and curiouser.

What I do like about summer is fruit. Some of my favorite fruits (not in any particular order):

1. peaches. hard peaches, like an apple. I don't like it when it dribbles down my chin in a sticky little stream.

2. apples. crunchy, cold apples. Actually, I like all my fruit cold, except when there's something extra on top (i.e., apples with butter and brown sugar, bananas with choco chips and marshmallows [i've never tried it but it sounds good], etc.)

3. nectarines. yummy... shiny, gleaming nectarines...

4. plums. purple plums, slightly tart but more sweet. I love asian plums. they have a brownish, speckled appearance with a yellow-orange inside. I don't know if they're called asian plums; i just call them that because I got them from Chinatown. There's another type of asian plum; they're small and yellow, but those aren't as good. We have some in our backyard, but it was sour--but maybe because they weren't ripe, i don't know...

eh, probably not.

just kidding; they're pretty good when they're ripe.

Anyways, I don't like summer, and I want to sew more. Hope I can get some more tutorials up and take a trip to the fabric store in SF soon. Have a nice day. :)
