                <description><![CDATA[ <sub><b><a href="http://Gilrandir-Adrea.deviantart.com/journal/28102460/#comments">Stamp Collection</a> | <a href="http://Gilrandir-Adrea.deviantart.com/gallery">Gallery</a></b></sub><br /><br />So...it's been a super long time eh?<br /><br />I've been very busy with all sorts of crap. School work, clubs, work, games, boyfriend, ex-boyfriend drama, having fun, etc. <br /><br />I'm just about to finish my 3rd class/block of my freshman year of college. This one hasn't been going so well, but I think I'll be able to pull a B. I just finished writing the paper for it, which was really easy. It's Macroeconomics btw. My first was Astronomy, and I managed an A-, and my second was Chemistry in the Natural World and I got an A in that. My next class is Asian Philosophy, a 300 level philosophy course, so let's hope that goes well XD. Then I have Stagecraft, which will fulfill my fine arts credit. Then is Russian 101, which will be a lot of fun I hope. Then Big Screen Rome, a classics course, that will also be my writing course, plus it's in the Pfeiffer Classroom (my dorm), so that's awesome. Then Russian 102, yay! Finally, I have Gods, Goddesses, and Cults of the Roman World, another classics class, which looks so awesome!<br /><br />I'm in a ton of clubs. I'm treasurer of Costumer's Guild, which is fun...money haha...Then I'm in Sanctuary, and Slick Shoes, though haven't been going lately. Then I have Consoles and Desktops, which is the videogame club. Then Medieval Renaissance Club, or MeRC, which is cool. Then is C & G or Chess and Games, which is just epic and fun. So many things have happened that...ahh it's too much to describe in one thing haha.<br /><br />So I work at the library, which is freaking awesome. I'm in the circulation department, so I get to check stuff in and out and stuff. I just started working one of the late night shifts, from 9pm to midnight, on Mondays. I'm the only underclassman to do one of those shifts, so I feel really proud of myself XD I also work during lunch time and starting next block, in the morning, as I don't have morning class.<br /><br />I'm in two RP games. One is Vampire: The Masquerade, and the other is a 4th age Lord of the Rings one. They are both awesome, though Vampire is somewhat more serious and more intense in the role playing aspect, while the LotR is more cracky and entertaining. <br /><br />So...I had a boyfriend...for 10 days heh. He is a senior here, and physics major. I met him playing Apples to Apples during the orientation week. He was saying that he wanted to go eat sushi, and I was like...'I have a car...' and so we had sushi and it was very yummy sushi haha. Then, he turns out to be the mentor for my Astronomy class, which was ironic. So I don't really see him much for the next week, except at meals...and then the Friday was the first C&G meeting, which I went to. The motion for Recess was a movie called My Pet Zombie. I ended up putting my head on his shoulder during the movie, and then afterwards we went to his room and watched japanese videos until quarter to 4. We were cuddling the whole time. Then I asked if I could stay, since I didn't want to walk all the way back to my dorm that early. He said sure, and then we were both in his bed, cuddling, which...I didn't really find strange at all. While we were just cuddling, I for some reason decided to kiss his cheek, and then we proceeded to lightly make out. That was my first kiss haha. Then I asked what this was, and he asked me what I wanted it to be, and I said I would like to be his girlfriend, and he said he would like that. SO, that's how it started. And it was great for the time but then at the end of the next week I ended up getting tonsillitis, and couldn't go on my first date, which made me super depressed. But he started getting distant that weekend anyways. That Monday, he broke up with me, as he said he didn't feel anything like that towards me, and he felt me getting more attached, which I was. Man I was depressed. Plus, it was only like 5 days before my birthday haha. Anyways, I then moved into a strange state where I thought I was fine, but I still wanted to hang around him, thus making things quite awkward. I finally snapped myself out of it about halfway through October, and started avoiding him. I've gotten a lot better, and things have gotten better between us, but we'll see next block, as we have the same class. Plus, it hurts when he doesn't acknowledge me, but I know in my head that it's because he reacts, not acts, plus he's incredibly introverted. But it still made me question my self-esteem and everything he told me while we were dating. ANYWAYS, I'm content at where I am and I'm getting over my feelings for him.<br /><br />I went to a Renn Faire first block break, which was freaking amazing! Then last block break I stayed here and was a part of Samhain, which was for C & G. We were pirates on a ship, and we were the crewmembers, and got drunk and 'buried' our treasure, and... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ O.o<br />it's been...two months?? Haha, I've been ridiculously busy lately. Finished the first semester of my Senior Year. Had my last final yesterday. Got accepted into three colleges. Gustavus Adolphus College in Minnisota, Cornell College in Iowa, and University of Colorado in Boulder. Got the Dean's Scholarship for Cornell College, which is $10,000 a year, and just based on merit. That's exciting. My friend Brian came to visit on Halloween, it was a lot of fun. Uhmmm...finished all of my college applications, so that's a ton of stress given away. Saw Matt a couple times to watch a bunch of movies haha. I miss him. I miss all of my friends. I went ice skating with a few of my senior friends on wednesday. Pretty sure I'm going to get all As and Bs for this semester which is a huge relief. I turned down my role in the spring musical, which is going to be the Music Man. I was a townsperson, so once again a walk-on role. I'm sick of them. I'll probably help during Tech Week. Uhhh...I get to go to a Kung-Fu school for a field trip in Mandarin. We're also going to have a karaoke competition in Mandarin too. Uhmmm...lots of other stuff probably happened too, but can't really remember it. if you actually would like to read it well I usually just post on Livejournal, as I'm on there all the time, as there are a bunch of communities I belong to there. Got some cool penpals for J-Rock, specifically the GazettE XD I'm dagorwen on livejournal, and my journal is friends only, so you'll have to join or whatever XD<br />I don't actually have anything to post sadly. I've been lacking in inspiration. Maybe next semester will be better, or even this break. I've just been fantasizing about things that'll never happen so ya...Hopefully I'll be on more regularly and hopefully catch up with the...391 deviations I need to go through...-_-;<br />Now, I'm off to my Indiana Jones marathon...as I've never seen any of them haha. I'll be back later hopefully XD<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I'm totally going to try to participate in National Blog Posting Month. Let's see if I can do all of November haha. My blog is at <a href="http://dagorwen.livejournal.com">[link]</a> if anyone cares to check in on how my progress is going haha ^^<br /><br />Also! So I went to the Sassyback Tour on Monday. It was amazing, absolutely amazing. I lost my voice though, and still can't sing my normal range or really talk, so it's kinda funny. Sing it Loud was actually really good, so that was fun. Got a cd from one of the members for $5, and he signed the cd, which the case was already dysfunctional...so apparently I'm lucky? Also got the singer to sign my school ID, since I had nothing else for him to sign. Also got one of the members of Forever the Sickest Kids to sign it too. They were all very very nice. I was at the meet and greet for Cobra, along with my friend Kayce. It was a lot of fun, they were all really nice. They signed my poetry book. It looks really cool now. The other bands were really good too. I bought a color-changing shirt so that's sweet. When Cobra came on, I was screaming just like everyone else haha. I sang along to every song as loud as I possibly could (hence the non-existant singing voice), and yet my friend Kayce was singing too...but she didn't lose her voice...*pout* so ya, dead tired the next day, but managed to make it to school in one piece and I survived the day, lucky didn't really do much that day haha.<br /><br />Then last night I had a chance to go see Archbishop Desmond Tutu speak downtown at the Wells Fargo Theater. I had to drive down there, and take another kid with me, but that wasn't too bad. The tickets for us were free so that was amazing. We had a couple interesting conversations on our way downtown haha. The archbishop was amazing. He is such an inspirational speaker. He is so animated, plus he had us laughing at a bunch of parts. I'm not religious. I'm going to just say that right now. Yet, even though a lot of his speech was about us being a part of God's plan and we are his help, I still got a lot out of his speech, besides those things. I'm not going to become a Christian just because I heard his speech. But it made me realize how frustrated I got at drivers during traffic or who were just being bad drivers. I don't know their situations. I don't know what they are going through at that moment, or what they went through that day or week. They could be having the worst week ever, and I would never know. I should FORGIVE people. That is the message I received from him last night. I shall try to remember that as the days and weeks slowly progress to December, and eventually May (when I finally graduate!)<br /><br />Also! I do believe I shall be going to the The Academy Is...concert this sunday which really makes me happy. I also desperately need to be studying for my AP Statistics test, which I really don't feel like doing, and will most likely do it tomorrow during study hall, which is really bad, but I'm just so ridiculously tired. I have a bit of a cold still, which has been exasperated by the concert, and then by the late night last night. I just got up from an hour and a half nap that I was planning on daydreaming through but instead fell into an exhausted sleep and didn't wake up til my mom pounded on the door, which totally scared the heck out of me. And I do believe that is enough of a post to last awhile....haha<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So once again, another year has gone by and I'm now one year older. Still not legal though. But I can get into R rated movies without sneaking in, so I suppose that's a plus. Don't feel any different. Just feels like another day, though I've gotten up a little bit earlier than usual. It's currently 5:25AM here. So nothing has currently happened to persuade me of my birthday status. Someone did wish me a Happy Birthday on facebook, which was really sweet. Not expecting many presents this year. I've already gotten the one from my mom, this new laptop. Which is a lovely piece of work. I did ask for a card though, and she says that she doesn't have it yet haha. Hopefully whatever my dad got me will come today. I think then it'll be the first present I got from him that arrived on time XD. This Saturday is our homecoming, which is incredibly quick. Yet, there are tons of other homecomings that are Saturday or even last saturday. What is up with that?? So I'm having two or so friends over on Saturday. Michelle and I are going to be getting ready for homecoming, while Kayce is just going to hang out with us and help celebrate my birthday which is a lovely thought ^-^. Have no idea if anybody else is going to get me anything, don't really expect it, except from Kayce and Christy who already said they got me stuff haha. Which is so awesome. Plus I am getting my Senior pictures done this afternoon, which I can't wait for haha. It'll be so fun I hope.<br /><br />Haven't written much lately, way too frickin busy. College applications and all that jazz. My first one is due by November 1st. But that's just what my counselor said. It'll help the stress load a lot though I guess. I need to re-write my college essay that we wrote in english class haha. Way to much going on really. So hopefully I'll start writing again soon. Sorry to be like practically dead these past couple of months.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So way too much effort to actually think of a title. Started school on Thursday. From everything I've experienced (all of two days), school is either going to be hell, or one of the best years ever. Not too sure on which it's going to be. Mandarin will be interesting, if not fun. Though it'll most likely be one of the hardest classes, maybe the hardest...just on terms of studying and understanding. I mean, it's a whole separate language family from anything I've learned before. With Spanish...it was hard yes, but at least I could conceivably read the written word, even if my pronunciation was horrible. With Mandarin? I can't read symbols! I can barely even write them decently. Actually, no. I can't write them decently. They are much too large and twisted. Plus, the language itself sounds rather weird compared to the Romance languages. Add on the four tones, and that makes it even harder. At least with the uhh...romanized syllables, if that's the right way to put it...they show which tone is supposed to be used. What's interesting to note is that Yao Ming, the basketball player, his name can mean two different things. If you say it as a name, it is just his name. But if you say it with the 4th tone, downward, (I think), then it means I want to take life. Which is rather funny. To me at least.<br /><br />AP Statistics should be fun. Mr. Letter is one of the best teachers. U.S. History on the other hand...oh dear. I'm one of the three seniors in my class haha. Plus, apparently I was supposed to read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair over the summer. Never got that memo. Now I have a day to do it. Tomorrow. Otherwise, it should be alright. AP Lit? Should go okay. As long as I keep up on the reading and all that stuff that is...World Religions? I think that is going to be my favorite class. I've been wanting to take it since freshman year when I found out about the course. I can't wait to get more into it! Environmental Science? Is most likely going to be hell. Simply because of all the troublemakers in that class. Ugh. <br /><br />On another note, I feel quite useless. I feel worthless. I don't even really know why. Or maybe I do...and my subconscious doesn't want to divulge its' secret. I hate feeling this way. I hate feeling as if no one wants me or wants to be with me. Am I that bad? Why don't people want to be with me? I have to resort to talking with people online just to keep my loneliness and depression at bay. And it allows me to keep up a facade of hope that people really do want to talk and hang out with me. Or even be friends with me. Sometimes I just want to fall asleep and sleep forever. At least in my dreams people want to hang out with me. At least in my dreams I'm wanted. It is so much better than reality. Sometimes I don't know how I'm going to survive another year like this. Sometimes I wonder if it's really worth it. If it is really worth all this pain. I don't understand myself sometimes. I just want to have friends who willingly want to be with me. Is that really too much to ask for?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So with school coming closer and closer (registration is next tuesday ack!) and me still not having finished either Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, or Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky, I have made myself a schedule of sorts. No timing or anything, just things I need to get done on that day. So here it is, and this will probably be why I won't be on quite so much as I was before haha...<br />Monday<br />Close read pages 1-41 of Crime and Punishment<br />Read/close read pages 42-92 of Crime and Punishment<br />Read/close read pages 49-89 of Wuthering Heights<br />Tuesday<br />Read/close read pages 93-143 of Crime and Punishment<br />Read/close read pages 90-130 of Wuthering Heights<br />Wednesday<br />Read/close read pages 144-194 of Crime and Punishment<br />Read/close read pages 131-171 of Wuthering Heights<br />Thursday<br />Read/close read pages 195-245 of Crime and Punishment<br />Read/close read pages 172-212 of Wuthering Heights<br />Friday<br />Read/close read pages 246-296 of Crime and Punishment<br />Read/close read pages 213-248 of Wuthering Heights<br />Close read pages 1-48 of Wuthering Heights (don't want to do it today haha)<br />Saturday<br />Read/close read pages 297-347 of Crime and Punishment<br />Read/close read pages 348-398 of Crime and Punishment<br />Sunday<br />Read/close read pages 399-449 of Crime and Punishment<br />Read/close read pages 450-500 of Crime and Punishment<br />Read/close read pages 501-542 of Crime and Punishment<br /><br />So after that I still have to do a project on them and the two short stories that I also need to read...I'll hopefully read them today...no I WILL read them today...so that's another thing to add to my schedule...<br />The reason I have the things in sections on Saturday and Sunday is so I can split them up in my day...I mean I can read 100 and 150 pages in one sitting, but not that book...ugh. Plus I work easier when I have things in sections, so I'm not like, 'oh god I have to finish this whole book'. Now I'm like, 'Oh I only have so and so amount of pages to go.' Ya...that's me haha. So I'm going to go ahead and start on Crime and Punishment, so please leave me lots of encouraging comments XD<br />What the hell kind of grammar is, 'He waked up late next day after a broken sleep'??????? That's the first sentence of chapter 3 in Crime and Punishment...ugh..that's what I have to deal with...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Seriously...sometimes that is the only thing stopping me from picking up Crime and Punishment (by Fyodor Dostoevsky) or Wuthering Heights (by Emily Bronte). Those are the books I have to read for AP Lit. So I suppose it's not necessarily a good thing in the end...but oh well...I can deal with that later...in like two weeks...gah<br /><br />Anyways, you can find amazing stuff there, like stuff on archery, mounted archery (which is totally awesome and mind boggling), fencing, and jazz musicians. I've been watching monty python videos too, along with other random stuff. Can't wait for this saturday's concert, 93.3's Big Gig with Paramore and the Offspring...along with plenty of others. I get to go with some friends, and it'll be my first...BIG concert. I've been to a friend's CD release party, and I saw Face at Broomfield High School, and I saw another friend's band at Cervantes Ballroom...well the place next door to it haha. <br /><br />BTW, does anyone know how to control, or at least persuade rain?? If so, could you implore the rain to come over to Denver? We haven't had any significant rainfall since like...May. It's been in the upper nineties the past two weeks, and it is hell (or the opposite of hell if you view hell as being cold....). <br /><br />One of our cats ran away last week, she's a pure-bred Maine Coon, name of Radar. I have a few pictures up on here, one being The Elusive Radar. I know it's really highly unlikely that any of you will even see her, but there is still a chance. If somehow you do see her or even catch her, please call (303) 469-7524. I don't think there is a reward, but if you do find her and bring her back, I'll see if I can do something. <br /><br />On a somewhat similar note, my other cat Igor yesterday morning had a baby finch in her mouth. I rescued it...but it couldn't fly very well...so I kept it...we got a cage and baby bird food and all the stuff...but as the day wore on, it had less and less energy, and around 7:30ish...it died. No visible wounds or anything, though there was torn feathers and blank spots on the skin where feathers were gone, but no blood or anything. It was incredibly sad...it was so cute...and I was really mad at Igor...along with Gimli and Dewey (the other cats), but can't really blame them...it's in their natures...*sigh*<br /><br />I have managed to do one thing for school though. I finished my AP Stats homework...which really wasn't very hard...it was just a matter of sitting down and just doing it. Lots of graphs to interpret and draw and all that jazz. Seriously need new books to read though. Anybody have any recommendations?<br /><br />Really should at least read the short stories...haha...going to be 17 in less than two months...oooOOOooo...XD I won't even be 18 when I start college...that's funny. Although I don't even know where the hell I'll be going yet...community college is really becoming a main choice as far as money goes...the colleges I like are private...and therefore really expensive...and while I am smart (yes I'm very modest XD), I'm either probably not smart enough to get academic scholarships, or am too lazy to try and get better grades...we'll see as the year progresses. Can't stay home too many times, or my dad says he's not going to help pay for college, seeing as how last year I probably missed a cumulative of almost a month of school...due to surgery, pain, and being sick (though that wasn't very often...it was mostly the pain...and then the surgery). I had a 6cm cyst on my right ovary last october. I had surgery and was out for the next week (though I missed the week before from pain). This year I've still been having pain, and the narrowed it down to Irritable Bowel Syndrome...but they don't know what's causing that, I'm not lactose intolerant (had that test last week...so boring). So one of the next choices is having a colonoscopy and an endoscopy...which does not sound fun...<br /><br />anyways, time for me to end this little...rant like thing...hope everyone else is having a fun summer, and doesn't have to worry about stuff like that.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I am back home again finally. My dad and I left Wednesday morning about 6AM Eastern Time, and arrived at my Grandmother's house in Shenandoah, Iowa at about 4PM Central time. We made pretty good time for driving about 700 miles. Then we left Grandma's house about 7AM Central time and arrived at my house at about 3PM Mountain time. <br /><br />We had sushi for dinner, ahhh lovely lovely sushi. So yummy....but so expensive. Then on Friday my dad toured Hardy Starts, which is off 10th and Colorado I believe. After that, I drove him to my school, and then we saw where he used to work, which is off Isabelle road, and now looks like a dump. Then we drove up to Estes Park, had lunch there at the Local's Cafe. It was very good. Then drove back home through Loveland and ya. After that we had dinner and then went to the concert at Broomfield Commons, and saw the fireworks, which was a ton of fun. Yesterday, my mom and I drove my dad to the airport, then came home. I mostly slept the day away I was so tired...Today I unpacked and mowed the back yard. <br /><br />A funny story though...while I was at my dad's we went canoing with my uncle, aunt, and their two kids. It was me and my dad, my uncle and stephanie, and my aunt and Ian. It was a 13 mile canoe trip. Before the 1/4 mark, my aunt and Ian managed to flip their canoe THREE times! Ian was kinda helpless...on the third time, while trying to stop to help them, my dad and I managed to hit a tree, which swept my dad out of the canoe, leaving me stuck in the canoe in the tree. Ian was holding on to my canoe, while my dad had hold of the other one. He managed to get to the bank with that canoe. I persuaded Ian to move along the tree to the bank to try to help his mom, as she was stuck like ten yards upriver. Now my canoe was at an angle in the tree, and was starting to slowly fill with water. I tried to push out, but it didn't work, so I had to get out while keeping hold of the canoe. I managed to keep a good hold on it, and started walking toward the bank where my dad was. When I was almost there, my foot gets stuck and I lose my shoe. I think it either was swept downstream or is still stuck in that spot. So now I have no sandals...dammit. Anyways, we finally managed to get everyone there, and instead of using three canoes, we pushed one up high on the bank and had three to a canoe. The rest of the trip was quiet. Though we had a bag in our canoe that had towels, my shirt, and my dad's wallet and phone. I don't know why he brought his phone with him...and it turned out to be a bad idea...he managed to drown his phone...haha. <br /><br />So after today, I am not allowed to read ANYTHING apparently until I finish reading Crime and Punishment and Wuthering Heights...and my mom said I have to be done with the project that involves both of the books by Registration...which is August 5th. Ugh...I know, I chose this class...but still...oh well...Wuthering Heights shouldn't be bad...it's Crime and Punishment that's the problem...I've already started reading it, and it's hard to get into. It's so detail oriented, plus the grammar in it is kinda weird...and some of it is just plain wrong...I'm guessing it happened when they translated it...so anyways...there's my update on my life.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I am here in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. I left last Sunday morning                                 from Denver, driving with my dad. We picked up my cousin Audrey down in Castle Rock, then drove out to Shenandoah, Iowa to visit my Grandma and the relatives that live there. I drove over 250 miles through Nebraska that day, averaging about 84 mph. It was a lot of fun :grin:. We spent Monday there, and I taught my uncle Cory how to play Guitar Hero. It was a lot of fun. Then on Tuesday we drove to my dad's house, stopping to drop off Audrey at my uncle Lance's house in Seymour. There was so much flooding in Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. The Mississippi was freaking huge!!! I feel sorry for the farmers whose crops were flooded. I hope they weren't too damaged. Anyways, so on Wednesday I had a lazy day. Didn't do much. Thursday, I started work. My first job. I work with my dad at EHR (Eason Horticulture Resources). I do price pages. That's where I take a vendor's availability I guess, and I change the prices that are currently on the database to the recent ones. Kinda confusing, but mostly just straight data entry, so after getting it figured out, it is ridiculously boring. But I get $8 an hour. On Thursday I worked 8 hours. From 8 to 5. I get up at 5. It stinks. Friday, I worked 8 and a half hours. We get an hour lunch break, but I only used half of that. Then today, I worked 10 hours. 7 to 6, ugh...soooo tired. I don't really hate it, but it is just so long, and so boring. But I finally have wireless internet here!!!! Of course I paid for half of it, but since I'm actually getting paid now, it doesn't really matter that much. I've been reading Crime and Punishment, along with other books. Haven't played much videogames lately though...<br /><br />Stole this from ~Sugar-FreeHolocaust<br /><br />Leave a comment on this journal, and I will:<br /><br />a) tell you why I friended you,<br />b) associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.,<br />c) tell you something I like about you,<br />d) tell you a memory I have of you,<br />e) ask something I've always wanted to know about you,<br />f) tell you my favorite pic of yours,<br /><br />And in return, you have to post this in your own journal!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I will not be back until July 8th or somesuch date. I will be bringing my laptop, but as far as I'm aware he STILL does not have wireless internet. Plus I'm really not supposed to be on the computer at his house, so I will most likely not be on for the month. There be sporadic entrances and updates insofar as poetry and stuff, but don't count on it. I'm pretty sure that by the time I get back I WILL have new poems and maybe some photos...and I still need to put up a photo of my blockprint, so there will also be that. I don't think I will be able to look at anybody else's stuff though sadly...so yea. Hope everyone has a great summer and an amazing 4th of July (for those of you who celebrate it at least)! ^_^<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ One more final and then I am officially done with Junior year. Then I get to study for the World History SAT....goodie. So I think I might have actually passed my math final, which will be the uttermost blessing I could ever receive as of this moment. I hate calculus, and pre-calculus. So glad I am taking AP stats next year. Oh so I was in a car accident back in April, and I just went to court yesterday for it. It was a 3-point offense, but the DA lady put it down for 1-point as a defective headlamp, instead of the 3-point failure to yield-left turn. I also have to go do a one-day driving class, which I need to schedule sometime soon. Hopefully that'll be the last of the car accidents I have for many long years. hmmm...dunno what else to say really...I might put up some photos of the art that I did in art class, like my blockprint, but *shrug* dunno. I did put up my This I Believe essay though, and I love it, simply because it brings out a part of me, that I didn't really know, well...I knew it, but I didn't understand it. so this helped me to understand myself better. I wish it could be longer, because I could have added so much stuff to it, but it is best as it is now I guess.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So while buying a movie on iTunes, I accidentally bought "The Fellowship" by Howard Shore from The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Now Lord of the Rings has always been my favorite book and favorite movies, but this song just reminded me of how much I love it. The song is so poignant, it instantly brings to mind the pictures of the fellowship journeying through the empty lands of Eastern Eriador and through the ruins of Hollin. I couldn't help myself but also buy "Concerning Hobbits" "The Prophecy" "The Bridge of Khazad Dum" (Though that isn't how it's spelled in the book...) and "The Shadow of the Past/ Knife in the Dark". Gahhhh....soooo beautiful. Howard Shore is an absolute genius. His music is so amazingly suited for this book that it is almost unbelievable. I have the second and third soundtrack, but for some reason never got the first, which always bugged me...and it is not on iTunes, so I have to suffer without until someone *hint**hint* gets it for me, or I get enough money to buy it meself. I am an absolute fanatic about Lord of the Rings, and anything to do with Middle Earth. Heh...you shouldn't see my door...haha <br /><br />Anyways, enough about Tolkien's work, even though I would love to go on and on about it. I am now almost caught up with school, thank whoever's up there, and have a week until both of my AP tests. Those should be quite the experience...haha. Then, another week until finals...and then I am done for another two and a half months. Tho on the 7th of June I am taking the SAT II World History test...which should be very very fun. Ahhh....love this music.....sorry *shakes head* anyways, for my chosen project in art, I am creating an altered book. I'm taking this random book of poetry I found in the used book store, and after covering all the pages and stuff, am going to write in my own poetry with calligraphy pens. Not the quill ones, or the ones with nibs...'m not that fancy or good. I'm just using the felt tip pens. Then I'm going to add on celtic border designs I think, along with other small designs...maybe...I still need to think of a few graduation gifts for some friends tho....I know that they probably don't want me to get them gifts, but I enjoy getting them gifts, nor do I really expect them to repay me in any way, such as getting me gifts. I don't really expect gifts...except from my parents...and grandparents...heh, but not usually from my friends. I don't deserve presents from anyone, not in my mind, so it's always a surprise when I do get gifts from other people. Hmmm....god if I could live in Lord of the Rings...that would be one of my wishes. I know that there isn't much sanitary improvements from the Middle Ages or even Dark Ages there, but that world feels so much more...meaningful to me, more real even. I am such a fool to think so, but I still believe in it. I know I probably wouldn't be able to understand anything, but I'm pretty good with languages...haha...anyways...I think that's enough rambling on about stuff...Hope everyone has a good weekend...OH! I am having a recital on....May 23rd? somewhere around there....so if anyone around wants to see me sing (somewhat okay (in my opinion, mom thinks it's rather good...dunno)) just ask me for directions...I would love it if people came...^^<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ 1. Super fun fun adventure amusement park marathon with you, Kat and Christy! How will it go? Pretty swell, except eventually I'm pretty sure that Kat and I will get pissed off at each other somehow, or more exactly she will get pissed off at me, and then Christy will have to moderate, and then things go downhill<br /><br />2. What would you do if Anthony confessed love to you? ....sensitive question there...honestly I have no idea right now. Things seem to have changed, but my feelings are haywire so.....yea...<br /><br />3. Does Anthony make you hot? ................uhmmmmm....ya<br /><br />4. Ever slept in the same room with Brian? Uhhh....if you count sleeping in the museum of natural history the same room then yes, otherwise...still yes I think...I'm pretty sure he was at Cassy's birthday party...hmm...haha<br /><br />5. How did you meet Angie? Haha, at Steven's house, playing Apples to Apples ^-^<br /><br />6. Do you miss Melissa? Yes I do<br /><br />7. Brian is actually Bryan in disguise, you know.  That is the epitome of irony...considering their personalities...hahaha...<br /><br />8. What would you do if Christy confessed love to you? .....*awkward turtle* <br /><br />9. Who does Christy like? Meesa don't know...<br /><br />10. Have you eaten around Kat? .....We sat at the same lunch table for 4 years....duh, plus she's been over to my house and I've been over to her house innumerable times<br /><br />Thankies to Angie and to <a href="http://mct421.deviantart.com/art/Question-Meme-Generator-69266481">[link]</a><br /><br />____________________________________________________________________<br />And now for serious stuff....I've been so freaking stressed lately. For the past week the earliest I got home was 5:30, and that was on Friday, the rest of the days I got home at like quarter to 8 or 8, because of the play. Which is next thursday, friday, and saturday and if you are in the same state as me you should totally come see it! It is the Sound of Music and is going to be totally awesome! I am a nun as well as 'assistant' stage manager. blegh. *stress* But things are progressing really well, I'm just kinda nervous about the understudy performance, seeing as how a lot of them don't exactly know all their lines...still. Hopefully they get their act together. If you want to know details on it, just ask me and I'll give you directions or stuff. ^-^<br /><br />I'm kinda scared that I might not pass this year in high school. I've missed so much school, and am failing most of my classes. No more play for me. Thankfully, in two weeks is my GI doctor appointment at Children's Hospital, so we can finally find out what's been going on with my goddamn stomach. I still have a freaking load of math assignments and anatomy notes and like ten chapters to read in my AP World History textbook...which reminds me AP TESTS!!!!!!!!! Like in two weeks!!!! My AP english is the second day, while the history is thankfully the last day. I am going to have to study like freaking mad to get good grades, which I need if I'm planning on graduating as a Peak Scholar or Peak Scholar with Honor. Which is what my mom wants me to do, not that I particularly care. heh. I just wanna graduate. But if I wanna have even a small chance in hell of getting into my top choice college, I need that. If you guys were wondering what college is my top choice it is Trinity College in Dublin. Yea, I'm crazy, but oh well. <br /><br />But I am actually having fun in PE. *gasp* I know, scary right? We are doing badminton, which is a very fun sport, except I still kinda suck. oh well. BTW Sorry for not updating in like forever. I do actually have a poem and some pictures to upload, just gotta get around to doing that, which won't be for a while I think. At least until next weekend, as I need to practice my vocals for the play....stupid latin...haha. Anyways, just thought I'd update everyone on my life, even though I doubt you care. Have a great week everyone! oh ya! my friend David just introduced me to this new band Secret and Whisper and they are amazing! haha<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <a href="http://unseelie.myminicity.com/">[link]</a> <----Unseelie, Ireland <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br /><br />So I've messed up my body again...*sigh* This time through P.E. I knew it was going to happen sometime...and it did. So the first half of this semester we are doing weightlifting. I am actually gaining muscle which is nice...but I've been freakin ravenous lately too. It is really quite insane. I understand why, but still...Another good thing is that combined with that, and rehearsal, I am dead tired at night, so I have actually been getting sleep...though I've been going to bed at like 8 instead of the usual 9 or 10. In fact I've actually started to fall asleep at like 7...which is pretty bad...since I don't get home until about quarter to 6. Not much time for homework...but I have been getting it done...somehow...<br /><br />Anyways...on monday I was doing the workout that dealt with the pulling muscles...like biceps and stuff...So I was doing Lat pull downs...which is the machine where you grab the wide bar and pull it down and stuff...on like 45 pounds I think. I was almost done when I seriously felt something in my left arm rip. I felt it. I started to think something was wrong then, but I continued on, since it didn't really hurt that bad. Then I went and soaked in the hot tub for a while. The next day it felt alright...still hurt somewhat, but not that bad. Then in P.E. I did a different work-out, but which still required me to hold dumb bells in my hands. I could feel the strain in my left elbow, but I pushed it away. Then that night, I begged my mom for a back massage as my levator scapulae (plural?) were killing me. If you don't know what that muscle is, they are the ones from your cervical vertebrae to your scapula (or shoulder blade). The rest of my back was also killing me, but the levator scapulae were the main ones. Anyways, after my mom did that, I asked her to do my arms...which she did. My right one felt much better after, but my left one was still killing me. My mom put some tiger balm on it and gave me some advil. Then, yesterday morning it was seriously painful. I couldn't extend the arm pretty much past 90 degrees before being in serious pain, nor could i flex it either. So my mom put more tiger balm on it and wrapped it up. I didn't participate in P.E. I also did something to my IT band on my left leg. It hurts to walk right on that band. If you don't know what that is, it is a band of nerves running between the thigh muscles on the side. Anyways, this morning my arm was still killing me, and I had bad cramps, and my leg was hurting, so my mom let me stay home. I was awake from about 5 to 6:30AM, and then slept til 12:30. We went to the doctor, who prescribed me some industrial strength ibuprofen, and a muscle relaxer. He also excused me from P.E. for 10 days...oh goodie...that's going to be fun to make up.<br /><br />As well, last night I went to the school film festival, which was absolutely amazing. Except that it was snowing pretty badly. I left early, so it didn't get any worse, but on the way out of the school, I saw that another kid had hit my friend's car when she was trying to leave as well. That freaked me out, and at this four-way stop I saw one car had run straight into a pole, and another had rear-ended a different car. This was my first time driving in a snowstorm, let alone by myself. I was seriously freaked out, and my nerves were shot but I managed to get home in one piece...so yay for me. I'm tired now, so I'm going to go to sleep...hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Since our club is so small we have started talking about how to get published. Last time the teacher gave us a packet that lists the magazines she thinks is good to get published in. The next step to this is to choose 5-10 of our own poems that we think are the best. To my horror, I have over a hundred poems, so I have no idea which ones to choose. So if maybe some of you could help me? I would definitely love it ^^<br /><br />oh ya! I got my license on Tuesday so I am now legal to drive!!!! I am officially a safe driver haha.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone! Though this is a bit late, figured I might as well hop on board the bandwagon and have a journal on christmas.  What a wonderful day. It was 48 degrees out, and absolutely sunny. It was gorgeous. I ended up getting Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, which is absolutely fantastic. I am sadly almost done on Career mode...on Medium. I've done 30 out of 42 songs I think. My hands hurt like hell though. I also got a Wal-Mart gift certificate from me cousins. For my dad, I got him a Rockies shirt (since he's a fan), and for his birthday, which is today, I got him a shirt from Spamalot saying, 'I'm not dead yet!'. He is 50 today, so I thought it was very apt. He is very happy, since he gets to play golf on his birthday, which hardly ever happens. <br />
<br />
Now I have to go, since I'm not really supposed to be on.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So in two days it will be Thanksgiving as well as my mom's....47th birthday? I'm pretty sure it's 47...haha...So My grandfather is coming this evening...and we thought he was coming tomorrow...so we thought that we had another day to clean...well last night he called and said he was coming today...so we had to rush and clean the whole house today...with the exception of the basement as I did that yesterday...So I vacuumed the house...and scrubbed my whole bathroom clean...yippee...haha...<br />
But it was awesome because earlier my mom and I went to the bookstore and she bought me two of my favorite Hayao Miyazaki films.  He is an amazing animator and stuff...haha...if you haven't seen any of his movies...that's incredibly sad...<br />
So she bought me Princess Mononoke (or Mononoke-hime in Japanese), and Castle in the Sky..<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> yay!!!<br />
I'm buying her another Miyazaki film, My Neighbor Totoro, which is probably his first animated film...it is absolutely completely and totally amazing! The animation, the creativity, everything, is absolutely astounding...We had a VHS of it, but I think we gave it to my step-sister...so I'm getting her the DVD...haha<br />
oh and my mom also bought me a Totoro T-shirt...It is so cute!!! It just has his face...well not his face per se.....his eyes, his nose, mouth (which is smiling his smile), and his whiskers...if you've seen the movie you know what I'm talking about...it just makes me want to smile...haha...I wish that she had gotten me the Cat Bus T-shirt though...I love the Cat Bus!! ^^ I wish I could ride it...haha<br />
anyways, I'm also getting her Upon A Midnight Clear by Sherrilyn Kenyon, which is part of the Dream-Hunter series...plus I want to read it...hahahaha...<br />
So If anybody was actually wondering...the following are all the Hayao Miyazaki films:<br />
The Castle of Cagliostro (which I haven't seen)<br />
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (Amazing...absolutely wonderful ^^)<br />
Castle in the Sky (again , amazing ^^)<br />
My Neighbor Totoro (probably my favorite ^^, it was the first one I ever saw)<br />
Kiki's Delivery Service (really cute and wonderful ^^)<br />
Porco Rosso (ehhh...I didn't like it as much as the others)<br />
Princess Mononoke (Insanely wonderful...it is so....cool! I actually saw this once in my geography class in 8th grade...it was amazing ^^)<br />
Spirited Away (Probably his most famous in America I'm guessing...It was still really good as well...haha ^^)<br />
Howl's Moving Castle (Which again, is wonderful and amazing...haha...the book is also really really good ^^)<br />
The Cat Returns (Which was really cute...I thought it was really interesting...haha)<br />
<br />
So yea...I'm a bit of an anime nerd I know...haha...but I love it ^^<br />
That's all I have to say on the matter as of right now...haha...Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and break!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br />
EDIT (11/21/07): IT SNOWED!!!!! YAYNESS!!!! ^^ This is the second snow of the season I believe...since I think it snowed in like october or something...haha ^^ if it didn't and I'm just imagining things, then it's the first snow of the season!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> Happy days!!!! I love Snow!!!! ^^ <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/snowing.gif" width="27" height="37" alt=":snowing:" title="It's snowing." /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Written on November 7thÂuploadedÂwhenever internet gets to workingÂ<br />
<br />
So itÂs been about a month since my surgery. IÂve been to the doctor, and she said that my scars were healing quite wellÂbut IÂm still in pain, sometimes quite serious pain. They donÂt know whatÂs wrongÂagain. I had a CAT scan done on Monday, and it was clean, so they donÂt understand why IÂm still in so much agony. My mom has been forced to give me half a vicaden along with muscle relaxants to try to relieve the pain.  It is quite different from the previous pain I am happy to announce, if any of you care, so at least thatÂs solved.  <br />
<br />
The GYN doctor is hoping that since they had to move my uterus around to view my ovary, that this pain is just really really really bad PMS. Which is kinda understandableÂnot that you probably want to hear about it. I donÂt actually really care about that though, because this is my journal, and I write in my journal to let things outÂalong with other stuffÂbut I put in stuff that some people might not want to readÂso if you donÂt care to read this stuffÂDONÂT. Anyways, as I was saying before my mini-rantÂitÂs kinda understandable that it would be just painful PMS because I usually always have bad PMS, just not this bad or this long. I always have really bad cramps either the day before, the night before, or the day of the start of my period.  Hopefully when my period starts it will go awayÂactually my period did start today, so hopefully this pain wonÂt be here tomorrowÂI really hope soÂ<br />
<br />
My mom decidedÂwith me of course, that I am going to be going on birth controlÂyayÂwhich will regulate my periodsÂand hopefully lessen the painful crampsÂSo I started that todayÂdunno whatÂs going to really happen with itÂ<br />
<br />
Today was also the understudy performance for our play The Importance of Being Earnest. It went great! ^^ I was supposed to be helping backstage doing techy stuffÂbut I was instead taking pictures for yearbook with my digital photography teacherÂs sweet camera.  I took about 300 some odd picturesÂand I could have taken about 250 moreÂand I would have taken a bunch moreÂexcept for the fact that the battery kept dyingÂthat really pissed me offÂ.that and the fact that I got a lot of fuzzy picturesÂoh wellÂI got a lot of really great ones too so that makes me happyÂ<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Opening night is tomorrow!! IÂm pretty sure the house opens at 7PMÂand any of you guys that live in the same state as me should totally come!!! It is $5 dollars for students and seniors and $7 for adults. If you need directions or the place where it is located message me or something! It is going to be a great! Closing night is this Saturday as well...I would love it if any of you could come at allÂ<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Today was technically my first day to school since HalloweenÂkinda sad isnÂt it? That just shows how much pain I was inÂand yet it has been totally random, on Saturday I felt good enough to go to my friend KayceÂs house to spend the nightÂI mean I didnÂt feel any pain whatsoever until early Sunday morningÂI donÂt get itÂanywaysÂI have so much work to catch up onÂblehÂTons of math workÂtwo math testsÂnumerous pages of notes to take for about 3 or 4 chapters on history, a major history test, a bunch of chapters of Huck Finn need to be read, have probably 3 or 4 labs that need to be written or done, need to do a digital photography assignmentÂwhich reminds meÂI need to talk to Anthony or Kayla soonÂboth for their concert and for the assignmentÂhopefully I can do itÂdunnoÂI really dunno if I can do itÂI meanÂwould I have time to do it, would they have time to do itÂwould they even want to do itÂdo they even still have their costumes&#133<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" />lus I dunno how I would do the background and all that stuffÂ<br />
<br />
Thankfully I have a three-day weekend this weekendÂtotally didnÂt remember that Monday was VeteranÂs DayÂwhich is pretty sadÂsince my grandfather was a veteranÂand my other grandfather is a veteranÂhehÂso I have time to catch up, maybe even visit friends down southÂwhich totally reminds me that I was actually further south than them yesterdayÂquite weirdÂI was in Colorado Springs for two college visitsÂI saw UCCS (University of Colorado at Colorado Springs) and CC (Colorado College). It was pretty interestingÂUCCS is way too big for me I think, same as CUÂexcept CU is hugely biggerÂbut my tour guide was Irene Hessner, who is a friend of mine, and whom I havenÂt seen sinceÂsophomoreÂno freshman year I thinkÂwhich was the year she graduatedÂSo it was gr... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Alright, so it turns out that I'm failing my math class, have a C in my english class, and a C in my anatomy class, with B's in my digital photography and history class. Mom has now declared me grounded from the computer until that F and those Cs are brought up to either As or Bs. But I am still allowed my phone, so if you want to talk to me, you can text or call me.  So I probably won't be on very much for a while until everything is caught up, and because it's tech week so I'm going to be at school til 7 -7:30 every night except weekends.  So yea...I'll try to be on a little bit each day, but it's looking pretty doubtful...sadly enough...Hope everyone has a good week! ^^<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Sorry ahead of time...This is a rant at an ungodly hour of the morning, and I'm usually irrational at this time, so if you would like to...ignore the following...<br />
<br />
So here it is...2:41 in the morning...and I find myself unable to sleep. That's just oh so helpful, seeing as how I'm finally going back to school tomorrow. Then I realized...I'm just nervous...haha...kinda weird though. I mean at first I was like...why should I be nervous? It's just school...the same old school that I've been going to for 6 years now.  Then I said that it's probably because of the surgery...and missing about a week of school straight, which I've never done before. As well, I guess I'm kinda nervous because of the fact that a lot of people don't know about the surgery, and they might assume I'm skipping school or some such thing. I know it's irrational, but that's me at ungodly hours of the morning.  I'm afraid people will look at me weird, or all sympathetic...and while sympathy is nice...after a while it gets to be a bit suffocating...and a bit stifling. I like it that people care for me and ask how I'm doing...but not constantly.  I just...dunno...as I said...I'm kinda irrational right now...and that's probably why I'm ranting about this right now...I really don't even know why I'm even writing a blog about this...maybe it's because it's a chance to get it out and let people know how I'm feeling? Or maybe just to get it out there and away from myself? I dunno...nor do I think I'll ever know...<br />
Anyways...earlier...when I was actually attempting to fall asleep...I started crying and wondering <i>why?</i>....as in why is this happening to me? why did everything happen to me? Why do I always choose the wrong guys, the ones who are already taken? Why is it that the one guy I dated...I didn't really <i>truly</i> like in that sense? Why did I deserve this? What did I do that made me deserve all of this? Why must this happen to me? Why me?! Why is it that the one guy I really like and he might like me back, have a girlfriend? Why did he chose her? Why couldn't he have chosen me? Just once...I would like to be chosen for something. Even being second best to some things would be nice...just not for that.  Why am I so shy? Why am I so self-loathing? Why must I always put myself down? Why don't I ever believe in myself? Why can't I believe in myself even when others tell me I'm great and smart and beautiful? Why do I keep crying myself to sleep at night? Why can't I get over him? Why can't I let go of this? Why do I always feel so pathetic? Why can't I stop crying?! Why can't I stop dwelling on all this? Why can't I move on?! Why must I always mull and mull over things until they become so huge I can't overcome them? Why do I always overthink things?....When will it all stop?<br />
<br />
<br />
EDIT: So it turns out that I'm not going to school after all, since my stomach was hurting so bad...gah... I mean I'm still glad that I had the surgery done, I just wish my body would recover already...Now I'm even more nervous about going to school...as it means more homework and junk...but I also want to because then I can see some of my friends and hopefully get back into the swing of things...<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So, I had my surgery yesterday at 2:30PM...came out at like...4ish i think...didn't wake up til about ten til 5...spent about 4 hours in the recovery room...trying and failing to make it to the bathroom...and failing to even stay upright or sit upright...so I ended up staying the night at the hospital...but I'm home now, and it still really hurts...but i'm home...and that makes everything better...haha...So the cyst was drained, and nothing was wrong with my appendix....I'd add more stuff...but it seems kinda redundant...as it mostly consists of...ow the pain the pain...it hurts!...yea...hahaha<br />
If people want to come over, they are seriously welcome to come over...please come visit me!!! thanks ^^<br />
I have a question...am I being selfish by wanting people to come visit me? Even if it's only for like ten minutes? Is that selfish of me to want that?  I don't want to be selfish, I just don't want to be alone in my pain, I don't want to be alone period.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So for the past....six months i've been having some really bad pain in my lower abdomen, pelvic area.  In early summer I went to the GI (gastro-intestinal) doctor, and got blood tests, ultrasound, and stool samples done. Nothing showed. So i've been having really bad pain, and my appointments with doctors have been canceled and stuff. So the past three days the pain has been pretty constant, and so this morning my mom took me to the ER ward at Avista hospital to see whats wrong.  I got urine samples and blood drawn.  We were hoping that my white blood cell count was elevated, as that would have meant i had appendicitis. No such luck. So I got a CAT scan, which showed that I had a 3.8cm long cyst on my right ovary. Which was kinda worrying as my grandmother passed away from ovarian cancer.  There is also a small lesion on my right kidney, but it is inconsequential.  Anyways, so I just got back from seeing the gynecologist.  I had a pelvic exam, which didn't show much.  Then i had another ultrasound which showed the cyst, which is benign as far as we're aware of.  It may be leaking some fluid, but they aren't for sure.  They couldn't see the appendix though.  So we decided that this friday at around 2:30 I am going to have a lapriscopy, to see the cyst, hopefully drain it, see if i have endimetriosis, fix it if i do, and see if something is wrong with my appendix.  If you don't know what some of these things are, go look it up. I really don't feel like explaining it to anyone, I'm really sick of this pain, and I'm currently on tylenol with codeine...and I am kinda ugh...ya...Plus i had to have an IV stuck in me today so they could do the contrast, and they stuck it in the same vein that i had blood drawn earlier that same morning...so it really kinda freakin hurts. Anyways, just thought i should let everyone know about whats been going on in my life...well, just this part...haha...So I won't be back in school until wednesday, no heavy lifting fro a couple weeks after that, ....ya...so...heh...there ya go<br />
As well...if anybody that lives near me...well...relatively...hahaha...they can come visit me on saturday and sunday...and maybe friday evening....as i will be discharged friday afterwards...though i don't know when....as they're going to put me under general anastesia...so...i'll be completely bedridden most likely saturday, sunday, and monday...maybe even tuesday...haha...and i'd be grateful for people to visit...if you want to of course...heh<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I am such a freaking idiot.  I knew it couldn't last, and I knew I wasn't ready. Should have listened to my gut instinct, but no, I thought that maybe just once it would be wrong, and that things would be good. I wish. Of course not, my gut is never wrong, yet I rarely listen to it.  I am so stupid, and now I've hurt someone, even if he says I didn't. I shouldn't have done it, and now I'm paying the price once again.  Even though I didn't listen to my gut at first, I finally did, as I just didn't feel comfortable with him...is that such a bad thing? I've ruined another friendship in the making, and I doubt it will ever go back.  Maybe this is a sign that I'm not meant to have anybody, and that I should just stop trying to find someone.  I should just resign myself to just friendship and nothing more, maybe that way I could at least have friends and have company, and nothing more. I hate myself and my life. I would really love to end it right about now, yet I know I won't. I'm too much of a coward to try to end my life, I am afraid of the pain, not the death itself.  If I could find a way to end my life painlessly, I would most likely take it in a heartbeat.  Yet, I know I really won't, I have to finish school and make my mother proud...hahaha..right. Whatever.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I am now officially 16...hmmm...doesn't really feel any different...no epiphany or anything...I'm just dreadfully tired....didn't get enough sleep last night...So one person so far has wished me a Happy Birthday...thank you absinthepelin35!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /> I do wonder though...if my day is going to go like i thought it would back in August...I do know there is already one change...as I have an appointment with my psychologist this afternoon...but otherwise there doesn't look much different...I know my friend kylie is really excited for today, because she really wants to give me my present...something about faeries...that's all i know about it...but i can't wait!! ^_^ plus...i can't wait for SPAMALOT!!! omg it is going to be so much fun!!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Then after that...I get to do DDR with a lot of my friends!!<br />
...OMG...i just got my present from my mom...and well backstory...she has this ring that is a solid yellow gold with two small diamonds inserted one on each side of a sapphire inserted in it...so she got it changed into silver...and got it resized to a 7 and a quarter...my size...she gave me the ring!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG...i've loved this ring since forever...I never believed I would actually get it one day...this is like...one of the best birthday presents ever!!! It is absolutely gorgeous! <br />
Okay, so i just opened the present that i got from my dad...which i've been waiting to open for like...a week! OMG OMG OMG!!!! He sent me a bunch of beads, beading tools, two beading basic books, a book on how to make hemp jewelry, my beading board along with clasps and such...and my step-mom even sent some of her polymer clay beads that she had made!!!!! OMG OMG!!! this is absolutely amazing!!! of course...i'm probably going to spend most of my money now on buying beads and clasps and such and making tons of jewelry...^^ this is so awesome! Best birthday ever!!!! ^^<br />
of course it may go downhill...but i'm not going to think about that! and as well...it could get even more amazing...which would be so good!!<br />
<br />
Oh god....today was totally amazing...I got a journal from Kylie specifically for my poetry...a bunch of people wished me a happy birthday...and i didn't even tell them today...but I just opened up the card from my grandmother...and oh god...<br />
'For a wonderful granddaughter<br />
"Just as sunshine<br />
brightens days,<br />
granddaughters<br />
lighten hearts."' is what is said on the cover...then on the inside:<br />
'No matter where you go,<br />
you leave a smile on every face,<br />
You're fun and energetic,<br />
and you liven up the place...<br />
No matter what you're doing,<br />
your sweet qualities shine through-<br />
It's such a special joy to have<br />
a granddaughter like you!' <br />
omg...i seriously started crying...it..is just so...oh god...this day couldn't get any better...well...it could....but i'm content with it like this...this is great enough <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> <br />
and plus, Dan texted me about 6:15 this morning saying happy birthday...which definitely helped my day...and Melissa did the same thing around...11ish...which was  amazing since i haven't talked to her in a couple of days...^-^<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I'm actually happy today...I found out yesterday that my cousin Kelsey is getting married! That's always a good thing, marriages that is.  I've never actually been to a marriage before, only funerals or memorial services...I've been to my grandmother's, my uncle's, my grandfather's, and my great-grandfather's.  Sad thing is that I wasn't even at my mother's remarriage...*sigh*...so I never got to be a flowergirl or anything...that was one of my fantasies, that I would be a flower girl at someone's wedding...oh well...Hopefully I'll be able to come to my cousin's wedding...of course, I'm sick today, which sucks big time.  School is actually going pretty good, kinda boring...but when isn't it? My digital photography class is going good, which I'm happy about...my social life, on the other hand, still pretty much sucks, as does my romantic life, but today...I just really don't quite care.  I don't want to think about the bad things...though I probably will be at my psychologist appointment in like 45 minutes...bah...well...I just hope that someday, my social life will be somewhat better...but whatever...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So once again, I find myself feeling useless and unwanted. for some reason it seems to me that i feel more unwanted than wanted most of the time. once again i feel that i'm the one initiating everything, that i'm not invited to anything and just all sorts of....blah...I start conversations on messenger, I start texting people, I ask people if they want to do stuff. No one asks me if I want to do stuff, no one starts texting me, no one starts conversations with me (with the exception of Kat). It makes me just sick, how I constantly want to talk to people and yet no one really seems to want to talk to me unless I start the conversations, and even then it seems to be....bland or whatever.  I know that i guess i may be overexaggerating, but that is how i honestly feel...plus it seems as if no one ever really reads my stuff anymore, or if they do they hate it or whatever. Maybe it's because all my poetry has now been delegated to the same effing category, angst and depression, and of course on one wants to read depressing poetry about how pathetic i am and how much i'm still in love with him. Of course not, who would want to? not me personally...so I guess i really don't care, and yet i do...i just wish people would comment more, it would be quite nice.  I feel so pathetic, I mean, I honestly have a great life...yet sometimes, it really doesn't seem worth it, worth all the loneliness, worth the depression, worth everything. Then I think about how all of my family has suffered from depression before me, and I realize that I still have to try to succeed, they did, and I should be able to as well...My grandmother suffered a mental breakdown when my mom was in first grade, and yet she survived to 1999! My other grandmother is still living even after her husband died of liver and kidney failure! My grandfather is surviving even after his first and second wives have already passed away! I have such an easy life compared to them, so why do I feel like ending it? Why do I feel like wasting everything that I've been given, just to get rid of all this pain? I guess...I really just want someone to talk to me face to face, so that maybe I can try to get this stuff out, even though I don't really know how...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, I'm supposed to be at school right now, but I'm not...I'm at home with a bad case of cramps, which hurt so freakin bad, I really wish it would go away...but of course it won't. Plus, it seems to me, I'm in a depression funk...bah.  I met some new friends this summer, and I am so glad I met them, they could probably be the best thing that's happened to me in a long time, but right now...I kinda wish I hadn't met them.  This is because, then I wouldn't be depressed about not being able to see them for god knows how long...and instead just be depressed about not having any friends...but then when I think about that...wouldn't that be just as depressing? I guess it depends on how depressing each thought is....and I really don't want to deal with that. So, like my friend Steven told me, just think about the happy memories, of which there are many. There are also bad ones too, with Marini...but a lot of that is my own fault, so I'm not blaming him for them.  I just wish that he would have...chosen differently, but whatever. My mom was actually talking to me about homecoming the other day, and I was like I'm probably not going to go.  I mean, what's the point?  Last year, I went with my friend Mike, and I had a lot of fun, but this year, I doubt I'm going with anybody, as I don't want to ask anyone, I've already had to face rejection enough this year. So 29 days until my 16th birthday...yippee...like anything important is going to happen....well technically...picture retakes are that day...but that's not important to me...not this year at least, otherwise, nope nothing is going to happen...bah<br /><br /> ]]></description>
