My Summer Part 2, Restlessness:

After about a week into my stay in Vermont, I'd met up with my aunts Katherine and Ciara, who lived in Barton. Barton was a much smaller town than Newport, and only a little bigger than Derby, and from all the places I stayed, I'd like to say that this one felt the most like home.

Between the 2 aunts, Katherine was more the responsible and arrogant one, and Ciara was the more free spirited and careless. But don't get me wrong, they're both great! .... it's just, it was difficult seeing them upset with each other.
They're argueing seemed to sprout from Ciara's mistakes. She would leave the apartment with her friends for days on end without getting in touch with Kate(oh, and by the way, Kate's 28 and Ciara's 19). It really worried Kate, and while I was there, it worried me, too.

It really worried me, because out of all my family I saw, Ciara was the one I could relate to the most. We're both only about 4 years apart, we're both bisexual, and we have a lot of the same interests.
But Ciara's much more fiery than I am, the first night I was in Barton, we went to a pizza place/club, my Nana was there with her new husband(that's not the only thing thats changed about her), and let me tell you, it was one of the most awkward nights of my life. I was so worried when I saw Nana at first(she didn't see me), that I made a quick turn in the opposite direction, but that didn't really work out... considering I tripped XD... Ciara was high, and totally pissed at Nana. From what I can tell, she was angry that I had to see my Nana in a completely different light than how I'd seen her about 8 years prior.
(side note: I also got to see Aunt Seana, who's probably the coolest of all my aunts and uncles on my Dad's side, she applauded me for my fashion sense)
Aside from that awkward night, there was also the family get together, which sadly lacked my uncle Aaron, and even my father Jason, who thought it would be too awkward...(ranting, sorry)

The night of the meeting with Nana, Ciara left with her friends, and by 2am I was certain she wasn't coming back, it really upset me, so after I knew Katherine was well asleep, at about 3am, I snuck out and walked to Ciara's friend's apartment.... I'd have to say the only real problem of getting there(since the streets were deserted), was figuring out which apartment was the right one, I pretty much stood, pacing, trying to figure out which one was holding her until a car showed up, that just happened to have her and her friends in it.

When I got there, Ciara was surprised to see me, and she was upset, because it was the night she started quitting bute (apparently a drug that gets you off meth[which she never did], with an after affect even worse than it), and she was a terrible wreck. I left her at about 5, knowing after meeting her friends, that she was in good hands.

I woke up at about 1pm after that, Kate had already gone off to work, and Ciara came with her boyfriend Sailis and some breakfast to make us... all I remember from that was a lot of apologizing on her half, and then later freaking out at Kate...

Sometime after that, I remember going to the supermarket for some things with her and Sailis, ans since she was still dealing with quitting bute, she'd thrown up, then laughed and turned the other way before anyone would notice.

I came for her again, very late at night, and this time she was upset, and I the same. Kate and I made a plan to go to Burlington and see a movie, Ciara promised she'd come with, but she blew us off!(she'd also taken my box of Annie's macaroni)... so this time when I was there, she was taking a shower with her boyfriend, while I waited in the kitchen with her stoned friends, drawing, and listening to a techno artist called Com Truise(that's right, you heard me).... after that night, I didn't see Ciara again until my last day before we left for the airport.

Aside from that, the rest of my time in Barton had me walking Toby the dog, petting Finn the cat (R.I.P.), and playing Runescape and going on Lady Gaga tiny chat (We'll get to that later)

Awww shucks! You didn't have to say that ¤//‚//¤ But really, thank you! ^_^

Lol, you two keep flattering me! And yeah, I love Runescape, I used to play all the time... but unfortunately I don't have a computer anymore(I'm only on Gaia through my 3DS). What was the rest of your post supposed to say? I don't mind of it's incoherent babble... I prefer ostriches in summer ginghams than evening fried eggs!
