First day of summer

Woke up at around 20 to six-ish and watched some episodes of ‘The L Word’.Then,I remembered to have breakfast.Did so many things throughout the day:

  • Sorted out and threw some scrap paper and books that were invading my desk.
  • Fed my cats(when one of them,Senio,comes into contact with meat,he takes it away from the others and makes this ‘grrr’ sound.It’s hilarious).
  • Helped my brother and grandpa load wood onto his truck and unload it on the other side of our farm(yeah,man,I live on a farm,burnnn haha :P).
  • Cleaned up little bits of wood and dust off my grandpa’s truck.While my grandpa had the ‘reverse’ gear,my brother was telling him to drive slowly and carefully.At one point my grandpa hit this metal door and broke his right back light.Once it happened me and my brother got shocked but then started giggling.Then,my grandpa was like : Simon,why didn’t you tell me to stop? Simon: I told you!You weren’t listening!*slightly laughs*.
  • Cleaned up little bits of wood at our BBQ area.
  • Washed a car with my brother.During the act of doing so,I asked him if he felt like Jessica Simpson(we were washing it with soapy water and sponges) and he said : I always feel like Jessica Simpson.Me : Hahahahahahah
  • Played with with my little kittens(which,my family and I thought went missing.Turns out that their mother placed them deeper into this other area).I wanted to take a picture of them because they looked very adorable when they were sleeping.
  • Moved a couple of things out of my bedroom and into our basement area
  • Swept some pieces of grass whilst listening to System Of A Down and Scars On Broadway.I think I was singing too loudly and realized it because my cats were looking at me in a weird way.
  • Washed the dishes.
  • Placed some photographs in their old albums where they originally were taken from.There were so many so I felt relieved for doing so.I miss those years very much.
  • Got an injection.It hurt.But not as much as the first two times for the specific injection.
  • Washed another car.Before doing so,I felt very lazy.My twin sister was supposed to help me but she stayed inside because she wanted to watch the last twenty minutes of this overly exaggerated Greek series xD
  • Watched ‘10 Things I Hate About You’ with my twin sister.We ‘awed’ so much.The guy that starred in ‘500 Days Of Summer’ was in it,too.It reminded me that today was summer and I felt happy(random hahah).It’s a shame that Heath Ledger is dead.He seemed like an excellent actor and person.

I realize that this list is pretty huge.I like having days like these,though.They seem more creative.So yeah,there’s the first day of summer for you.Oh,Greece beat Nigeria in football today.Woo for Greek football players!

Listening to this radio station at the moment called ‘Peripou Radio’.It’s freaking awesome.I don’t really listen to the radio because most of the stations don’t play music I prefer(or hardly any of the music I prefer).So yeah,it’s cool that there’s a radio like this one.

Here's today for you

Woke up,got dressed,ate breakfast(toast-yum!),fed my five cats,took out the garbage,laughed loads with my twin sister and brother,went to school and had an essay exam(which I did pretty well on,might I add).Afterward,I went to town with my twin sister to see this pair of shoes that she's absolutely crazy about.She wanted to take a picture of them in order to show them to her boyfriend and she was scared to at the beginning.It was quite funny because she'd hold up her camera to take a snapshot and then the lady on the inside would sort of turn and look outside(she didn't realize what she was doing,thankfull).The funny part was that she said : Marilena,take the picture!I was like : no..!:S(she was the one who wanted me to come with her to do so in the first place haha).It was really funny,though.I'm smiling right now just at the thought of it.
Came home,sorted out some scrap paper that was on my desk,ate this delicious mix of eggplant,onion and tomato in the oven while watching 'Hannah Montana' with my twin sister and started gathering all the necessities in order to wash our car.My grandpa was sitting at this table that we have in our garden.While I was filling up this soap filled mop bucket,he called me and I understood that he wanted to give me money.You see,when he wants to give money to his grandchildren,he always gets this really cute tone in his voice;it's as if I can hear his generosity just by the way he talks.Anyway,I filled up the mop bucket(having my back turned to him) and placed it next to the car so I could,eventually,make my way back.He was like : Marilena,come here*gives two ten euro bills for me and my twin sister*.I smiled,sighed and asked him why and his reply made me smile even more : it was my birthday yesterday and I didn't get you guys anything.You guys surprised me with a cake and candle and I didn't get you anything,so there you go.I told him that I know that when someone has a birthday it usually goes the other way round.He laughed and said that he knows it his way.Ahh,I adore moments like those.
So yeah,washed the car with my twin sister.It was so much fun.We laughed,sang along to the songs on the radio,cleaned the car from the inside,too.She wet me a couple of times and I was like ahh hahah.
Talked to a couple of people online and offline.Was good.
In the afternoon,me and my twin sister sat on my bed and talked about so many things.We haven't talked like that in ages.It felt nice.I mean,generally speaking,we're close..but today just felt different.We're so different as people that it awes me when we get along and actually end up enjoying each others company.
Talked to our older sister on Skype.Laughed loads about random stories,people,videos,situations.She's coming on Friday!Can't wait.
Had an awesome day.Hope I have other days like these.

So yeah..here's today

Went to the dietitian’s office today.Got some good results.My pants have become really loose on me!I’m going to go and buy some pants with my mom and twin sister tomorrow morning,after my algebra lesson.

Walked loads,uploaded some cool songs onto my iPod,studied hard,watched a bit of this Greek show with my grandma,twin sister and mom.My grandma is so into the shows she watches.Before one of the shows started,she came in all out of breath(she was gardening,I assume) and asked my mom if the show started in a very eager manner.It was cute.

Made dinner for myself and the others.Salad,croutons,cucumber,mayo,egg and some lemon juice on top.Was immensely delicious haha.

While I was walking down,I saw this grandpa with a camera.While I passed him,I gave him a smile and told him that his camera looked lovely.Once he saw me,he said hello and asked me how I was.I was in a hurry,so I couldn’t actually reply to his question.I was grinning all the way to my algebra lesson.I dunno,in some areas around the world that would seem like a creepy situation to be in;just saying hello to a complete stranger,that is.He genuinely seemed happy that I greeted him,though.I felt good for making him feel that way;even if it was for a little.

I live in a pretty small town with a population that reaches about 30,000 inhabitants.Greeting people that you don’t know over here isn’t weird,though.I do it all the time.You never know what a little greeting or smile might do to make a person’s bad day turn into a decent one.It’s really worth it.
