Oh yeah I also love ice skating! I'm not super good at it, but I can do probably up until basic level 4. I like to watch it too.
How is Japan so far? I'm actually going to Cleveland today, but we have to drive six hours. Sigh. And then on Wednesday I'm babysitting for four days at a training camp for christian ministry stuff, and we're tent camping. I'm kinda scared but even though I don't get a lot of money (only 150 for four days) I'm pretty excited. Its in wisconsin though
Anyway, yesterday was...eventful. My guy friend told me he liked me which..uh...Is awkward, because I don't like him back. I feel terrible and I really don't want to ruin our friendship, you know? I just don't have any clue what to do. No one's ever told me they've liked me before, I've never dated anyone...Ugh......
plus my ex-best friend is trying to text me even though she said so many things that hurt me so much--I've forgiven her, but she never apologized. Then she lied to her mom that I was secretly dating someone nonbinary--which I wasnt, but if I did like someone nonbinary, who even cares? She has depression, I learned, after like months of her not apologzing, but...that doesnt make her words hurt any less.
And then, out of the blue, she texted me yesterday. 'Hey um did your mom tell you anything?' What is that supposed to mean?
Any advice? :/

Japan is really fun so far. Today we went to a fun place where you hike up a mountain and at the top there are monkeys, like everywhere! We also went to a dog cafe what that means is you get a drink and then sit down and pet the dogs! They were so cute!!!
wow your life sounds... eventful. Ok about the guy... honestly I have no idea bc no one has ever told me that they like me nor have I ever dated before. Maybe give him some space and then try talking to him like maybe say you still want to be friends?? I really don't know. What was his reaction to your response? Did he seem angry or sad or something else?
So about your ex best friend,
did your mom tell you anything? And if she didn't maybe you should ask her about it. Bc maybe your exfriend's mom sent something to your mom?
I hope this helps!

About the guy first--he seemed really, really sad. Like, sad enough it made me feel guilty. And..well...I'm going to give him some space first but I think I should reach out soon enough.
And for the ex-friend--well, yes. Our parents have been talking because she has lied about things to try to land me in trouble, and so my mom had to talk about it with me.
I found it she has depression. Which, well, is a little scary, because ive had other friends also have that, and it makes me feel terrible, like a therapist or something. Its still not any way to treat your friend even if you are depressed though, and she never even told me anything about it, so...it's a little hard to 'relate' with her (as she said, FRIENDS ARE SUPPOSED TO RELATE) And. Yeah. It's such a mess.
I'm basically done with it, though. I've worked through the hard bits, made sure she can't text me....and...Idk. Its just weird. I'm slightly glad shes moving bc then I dont have to awkwardly see her.
Woah. I wrote a lot. That's it, I suppose.
And I'm going to Wisconsin today, til Sunday! So I won't really be online :( Just fyi. No internet there, its tent camping and literally zero reception. Which means i cant bring my laptop.
(June 7, 2023 - 7:44 am)
Yeah I agree with your decisions.
have fun in Wisconsin! Have you been there before? What is it like?
I come home from Japan on Sunday too!
(June 10, 2023 - 3:12 am)
I've been there before, but this was a different part of it, called Pardeeville. It was really fun! A little chaotic, but fun.
To be honest, I wasn't really expecting there to be any people my age, but there was a girl named Raleigh who was 13, so I was happy about that. And her 12-year old brother was nice too, Rivers. Anyway at the end we went to this place called Pizza Ranch, which is this huge buffet place with fried chicken, pizza, fries, salad, ice cream, also dessert pizzas. It was really good. Basically the whole training camp went, so like 40-ish people, lol.
Anyway, HOW WAS JAPAN?!?!???! Literally one of my dream vacations haha. And sorry for the delay yet again, I've had a camp this week and I've been trying to keep up with other rp threads and ski lodges and such.
(June 15, 2023 - 3:49 pm)
Omg I am so so so sorry that I dident respond sooner! My family and I were driving to Idaho yesterday and it's a two day drive in total:/ anyway your trip sounds fun! I'm glad you met some kids your age! And pizza ranch sounds so awesome!!!
yeah so Japan was great! It is always so clean there but their are no trash cans! Lol
and every one is so nice and helpful. Like if you just look lost some one will come up to you and ask if you need help! In English!
(June 21, 2023 - 8:23 am)
Yeah np I figured it was some sort of trip or something--plus, it's not like I'm too great at remembering to respond either. Lol.
Oh thats sounds really nice! Which part of japan did you visit?
(June 21, 2023 - 9:19 am)
We visited Tokyo and Kyoto. Tokyo is more new and modern stuff and Kyoto is older. Also if you rearrange the letters in Kyoto it can also be Tokyo!

Hey! Yeah ofc! I'm usually fairly busy in the summer, so I probably won't be online too often. But I try lol. I also forget to respond wayyyy too much lol.
Are you new to the CB or using a new name or what? I havent seen you around before. Either way, welcome!
(July 2, 2023 - 11:53 am)
Welcome Giraffe! What are you favorite books?
(July 3, 2023 - 8:50 am)
Thanks so much! Sorry I couldn't answer sooner, I have been on vacation and so on. My favorite books are probably the Artemis Fowl series and Keeper of the Lost Cities series. I like a LOT of other books though, so it's hard to choose.
(July 13, 2023 - 7:28 am)
Oh, also, don't feel bad about not answering because I do the same too. I forgot to mention before, yes, I'm new to CB.
(July 16, 2023 - 1:08 pm)
I LOVE kotlc too!!! it is one of my favorite books along with harry potter, wings of fire and crisanta knight. I have never read aritmis fowl before, it is on my long list of books to read though.
(July 18, 2023 - 10:20 am)
Yeah keeper is really good! i cannot wait for the tenth book but i'll also be sad because i think it's planned to be the last of the series.
I've read the first book of Artemis Fowl but a long long time ago. I should probably re-read them because I when i read it at first i was eight and i was a little confused.
I loved this book called 'love and gelato'. It was really pretty and light romance, I guess? It's set in Italy and it made me want to visit Italy asap. lol.
