On Friday I went to a little sleepover at my friend Skyler’s house.  It was… interesting, but I had fun.  I brought my special hair book and we all went into the living room to do hair.  We were talking about what we were going to be when we grew up.

One girl said, “I wanted to be an orthodontist, but I found out that you have to go to school for like, seven years.”

I said, “So what do you want to do now?”

“Well, I think I’d rather marry an orthodontist than be one. That’s what I want to do.”

And then everyone started talking about what their weddings were going to be like and that they were going to get married in only seven years and they had better start planning. Then they talked about middle school. I didn’t know half the things that they were talking about so Skyler interrupted everyone to let them know that I had a “sheltered” life.  Uggghh… They were also listening to this awful “hip hop” thing. They asked me what my favorite music was.

“Enya, Hayley Westenra, and Classical,” I replied.

Everyone was silent for a little bit.  But fortunately I have Skyler.

She said “I LOVE Enya! This stuff is not really my FAVORITE.”

I had lots of fun though. One girl came at nine just when all the other girls started doing this weird psychological brain trick game. The new girl was very nice and noticed that I didn’t like the trick. She took me into the kitchen for some candy. I found out that she just quit the swim team a couple of years ago. She gave me some tips on how to do a good dive and she told me that she might join the team again. That was a good point of the sleepover. I did have fun, but if I had a sleepover then it would be a little different. 🙂
