finally
Dear everyone,
first of all, I'm terribly sorry for being [about a month] late. Please believe me, there hasn't been a day that I wasn't thinking of you all. I know I was being lazy but there were also circumstances that stopped me from writing you sooner. Well, let's start from the beginning. I came home and my sister with my mom where waiting for me at the airport. I cried like a baby for about 5 minutes without being able to stop. They brought me some great Czech bread and salt [it's a traditional way of welcoming a guest - and a very old-fashioned one, too]. Then we went home. In the car my mom decided to do all the "serious talk" she hadn't had time to do during the year. She said that there is no way of buying me a car when I'm eighteen and that I have to clean up our apartment more and at least once a week I have to cook us dinner. It was weird since I've never even mentioned me having a car. Anyway. The next day I slept - I had to take a sleeping pill because I had a really bad headache and I couldn't sleep. The day after that Vit came and brought me freakin' 5 red roses. I thought it was stupid since it had to be expensive. I let him stay because Sophia and Ashley [ her hostsister, remeber?] were coming and I wanted him to meet them, too since he was talking to them earlier on Myspace. It was fun, we took a tour around our town and I guess everybody liked it. But the question is - are we getting back together?? I don't think so. I'm engaged anyway so it would be something like cheating I guess. Those first couple of days were pretty racy [btw. I tought my mom this word and she keeps saying it now - it's getting on my nerves, j\k I like it, it reminds me of you more]. I was really confused and depressed. I met some of my great old friends and my best friend and except for her everybody seemed to do nothing else than smoking and drinking. But my best friend had a surprise, too. She told me she became a friend with our clasmate Theresa and that she might like her more than me since she understands her better and that she feels that Theresa is her new soulmate. I wonder if she spoke the truth. In this really weird mind set I left for a girlscout camp for two weeks [that's why I couldn't write earlier] and it was awesome. It was really fun like always. I told my girls about Nikki "The American Girl Scout" and they were excited. After that I had a frisbee tournament. It was this weekend actually. I sucked really bad but I enjoyed it so much!!! I thought of you a lot and how you would have liked it. It was great except I had to collect the registration fee from all of the players and ended up with a lot of money in my wallet which made me so nervous that I never let my backpack out of my hands. Otherwise I played terribly but still, I loved it. Right now I'm going to stay at home for the rest of the summer break and just study for my exams that I have to pass to be able to skip the year I missed. It's gonna be hard but....well, I don't have another choice. And now about you! Ivan is coming to Croatia next year? I'm soooo coming to visit you - 'nuff said. Arianna, dear - thank you so much for writing me! I'll reply I promise, I hope it's gonna be soon. Your letters were the only thing that made me feel normal during that confusion after my return. Chris? enough of washing cars, ok? I want you to write me! Andrew, let me know about your new girlfriend, don't try to hide it. Nikki, can you write why did virgil make you mad? It might be a good thing to know for my future stay at your house :-) And Spencer....write me about New York! I was at the airport there. it was quite confusing. Anyways - my mom and my sister know everything about you now and they are very glad I got to meet you since you helped me the most out of the dirty Henne house. Can someone let Ben know that I'm alive? Finally, he's my fiancee, right? And call me, you guys!!! And excuse my grammar, you know - it has been a month ( you can write me what mistakes I made so I won't get out of shape ). I love you all dearly and miss you as well. Let me know about stuff, send a picture of Arianna's Volvo and explain the Island Scenario. Wow, what a long blog ( we call it a letter here ). Forever yours Rachel

RACHEL! Man, we've been wondering about you! I'm so glad you're back in touch. Congrats, I think you've written the longest blog ever, haha. It rocks. That sucks about your best friend ditching you, she doesn't know what she's missing. I lost a bet with Chris because I dared him to eat a whole watermelon rind and the result was I have to get a myspace on Sept. 1. It was a really lame bet I think, but Andrew says it'd be a party foul to back out of it. So that sucks, but hey then I can talk to you a lot more so I guess that's something. Man, Ben... he's still as weird as ever. He came by my house a couple of weeks ago to drop off a shirt his mom was getting rid of and it is the ugliest thing ever. But someone will tell him you're alive I'm sure. That's nice Vit got you flowers. Is he still with that girl that he kissed, did that ever take up or was it a one time thing? Just because you're engaged to Ben doesn't mean you shouldn't be looking for better things, because I seriously give your marriage with Ben a year at most with all that TENSION you two create. Haha, love you Rachel!
Oh yeah, I forgot to explain the Island Scenario. It's this fun thing we do to evaluate our relationships with one another, haha. It's just if all the Regulars were all stranded on a deserted island and had to kill someone, who would you kill? Let me know so I can post it. Arianna
P.S. Isn't that a great way to show our love of one another? Lol.
Myspace is stupid - I'm getting an AIM soon. Just wait I'll let you know. Vit just kissed that girl they weren't dating or anything. He said he's still in love with me so I feel sorry for him and keep calling him so he won't be that sad. In fact, I don't really know what to do. I miss you!!!! All love
Man, you really know how to build dramatic suspence. Fly low for a few months then go all out in a huge post. I'm glad you're doing okay... well, that you're still alive.
The island scenario is probably one of the best and worst things about the regulars, haha. It's always sad to know who'd want to kill you instead of some one else.
Yeah, the Island Scenario can be tough. But I like doing it because it helps me realize who I don't spend enough time with. Like this time I voted for Ivan but then we started talking and hanging out a lot more and so I had to switch my vote to Andrew who is also good now, since we have been having Monopoly parties at his house lately.
Did Mr. Hernquist ever come visit you? If he's there tell him hi for me; he was a really awesome teacher. I probably only think that because he was weird, but it's all good.
Mr. Hernquist hasn't written me yet, so I don't know. Am I still supposed to kill someone, 'cause I don't want to. Monopoly party sounds great I guess I'll have to find an internet version so we can play together :) Ivan - thanks for you email.
Of course you have to kill some one, haha. As long as it isn't me.
