Groups reacting To You

My friend Helaman, we talk about like everything. We can talk for like hours and hours at a time, over the phone or when it is just us. But I have realized that when we are in the car and his family is there I have the hardest time starting a conversation. At first I thought that I was losing my ability to talk to him, like maybe I was getting bored, but then I realized that I talked to him for forever just last night. So I thought about it for a little longer and realized that I don't know what to talk about with him when I know that his family will for sure comment on it. I talked to my cousin about it and she told me she does the same thing sometimes. But what I am getting at is that even if we act the same to each person we know we act differently when we are in groups, worrying about how people will react when they are with the other people in the group. Because sometimes when one person reacts a certain way other people tend to follow that persons reaction. Hmm I wonder who in his family I am worried about their reaction. I should figure it out.

Slap Happy??

The past few days I have been laughing at the most stupid, random things. I truly think my mind is getting bored, or I am getting sleep deprived, but I wake up happy and I look around me and see something that only I think is funny and start cracking up and people say "what is so funny?" I tell them and they look at me and tell me to calm down, that its not that funny and then they give me the look saying you are funny for laughing like that over something so stupid. I could be all by myself doing nothing and I could be laughing like someone did something that was funny(rolling on the ground, laughing). I really don't know what is going on with me. I am leaning more toward that I am sleep deprived, because I went to Salt Lake had a blast and then half way on the way back I fell asleep, on a loud bus, I slept like a rock didn't wake up till someone woke me up and then when they woke me up it was like wow there are things going on around me, weird. So if I catch up on my sleep I wonder if I will still be happy like I am now. I am sure I wouldn't get as many headaches, maybe I should catch up on my sleep.

Motivation (that I don't have)

Finding a job so I can get my license right when I turn 16... Ok, so my life right now is very layed back and I am having a hard time motivating myself to even do my homework. Bad me. What I need to do is give myself a prize when I get everything done then I can have that prize. And I need a long weekend, once I am caught up then I have to motivate myself not to fall behind again. I need to get in the habit of using my time wisely. Right now I could be reading and catching up but no I am on here wasting my time... Oh but if you guys have any good job ideas for me that would be great :D I really want to drive...
