Sorry for not posting recently.
You see, this is my first day off in six days. Yeah! That's a while. So, what is there to say...
I have made many friendlies here. People are nice, and once you get into the Hornby vibe, most everyone is accepting of you. Most of my friends are older than me, in their twenties or thirties, but who likes teenagers anyways? These guys are much more chill. (Chill means they are cool.) They are more like me, and care less about parties and alcohol and drugs and jazz. And, every night there is a party on the beach!! Beach parties are so much fun, but even more so around a fire at night. I am gaining more confidence in myself, because it has been less than a month and already everybody loves me.
It has been harder for me to be writing haiku all the time you know, because of just life. But I do!

then he stayed up & watched it with me!
