Young "Love"

So I'll start off by saying, when I say "young 'love,'" I'm talking eleven-year-olds. It's so stupid.

I know this eleven-year-old girl. She's pretty, she's outgoing, blah blah blah, just barely missing annoying. There's also an eleven-year-old boy. He's cute, he's... a boy. Every girl at camp has at least a tiny crush on him (besides me. He kind of irks me), including this girl. And he likes her back. 'S obvious.

Anyway, so today at camp was pretty much the last day they were going to see each other all year, until next summer. So get this: Right in front of the girl's mother, he just kissed her on the cheek. Everyone was like "D'aaaaaawwwwwww, so cute!" "He's adorable!" No. Just no.

It's not cute, it's awkward. He started freaking out after she left, because he didn't want to get her in trouble with her mom. Okay, if you think that you're going to get in trouble for kissing a girl on the freaking cheek, then you're too young to be doing that. Seriously.

But then I got jealous, because if I've ever liked a guy, well, it never even got that far. It never got anywhere. There was one guy I liked who I thought liked me back, but it's not like he ever did anything about it. And now, I'm glad he didn't. A kiss on the cheek at eleven = awkward x 10.

And then I got kind of skeeved, because seriosuly? This eleven-year-old girl got more action today than I've gotten my whole life. And i'm a teenager. The boy, I've known him only a month or so, and he seems nice, but also like he knows that every girl likes him, so it's going to his head. Gotta cut the weed before it's grown, bro. Just gotta cut it.

Because who needs a boyfriend in sixth grade? No one. Sorry. You don't. I don't even want a boyfriend. So I obviously disapprove of what he did. I think it's harmless enough, but it was a stupid move. Like WTF, you don't even know her mom. I do, and she isn't going to be too thrilled about all this....

Just saying.

I was going to add something about my friend here, but then I realized that pretty much my entire last post was about him. So I'll just say that today, I found out that he can play guitar. And sing. Specifically the song "Marry Me." So he's only getting better and better in my eyes. Legit, when he was singing "Marry Me" up on stage, I zoned out and imagined singing "Without Love" with him up there in front of everyone, and instead of me saying "Link" and "Seaweed" I said his name, and instead of him saying "Tracy" and "Penny" he said my name.

Too bad that'll never happen.

Lol yup.

I am actually seriously considering writing a book about all my experiences this summer.....

Secret Link. <<< Yeah. It is what it says it is.

Peace, Love, and Red Vines,
