I am fourteen now. I thought for certain I would not make it this far. I have been on dA for four years now.

My family has grown with twins in July/August. 31July Felix was born and 1August along came sweet Emily. I am still chair bound though I have had brief periods of mobility. I have not felt inspired for a long time but I still think of you guys. I have missed my friends something terrible. I realize of course, perhaps I have been forgotten as higher education overtakes my comrades.

I began speech therapy this school year of September. I believe my stutter is not quite so severe now, however I still am frightened that the old witch may have been correct, that when I speak angels fall from the skies.

I had a lovely Christmas/Chanukkah with my family. Uncle Brent gave us lots of presents after the holidays, to that I am truly grateful.

I have an urge to write, but my brain is much faster than my hands. By the time I get the words out my thoughts have drifted away. It is rather frustrating indeed.

Please catch me up in your lives, I wish to hear from you. There are a few I especially wish to hear from.

The following are entries made by my brother Max in his online journal on GaiaOnline Please read as they have an important message.

A Day of School
Wed Jan 10, 2007 @ 4:41 pm

Today I went to school, it's kinda fun to see what I retained through my amnesia. I can tell you facts and figures of history and formulas for math and science but I can't tell you where I'm from or even who I am. Kinda weird I guess. I have sixth period PE plus I had to walk home. I'm still really sore from the accident and with my heart transplant I'm not supposed to over exert myself. But guess who keeps forgetting to bring his doctor's note D:.

I made a new friend. His name's Jeb and he's pretty cool. He's on the basketball team which I'm sad to say is pretty scarce and sux major >< Maybe next season I'll be able to help out the team.

This area is into football. They don't even know what soccer is and nobody understands hockey. D: My favorite sport is hockey I discovered that from talking to my adopted little brother, he gets intense when he talks about hockey and surfing and I got to watch both on TV when I was in the hospital. Hockey is easy to follow I think and I just don't understand surfing D:

So far life seems to be one of discovery for me. I have since waking found myself to be attracted to guys, and overall I'm pretty happy just finding out who I am or am to be. Chances are that whoever I was before just might not be who I am today or even tomorrow. I find myself trapped in a relationship that hit hard when it came. I love him so much but I'm afraid though that he might just be filling in a gap that he lost when his boyfriend died only a couple months ago. We're taking it slow and he's loving and patient with me. Though I can sense that he wants to go faster, I respect him for giving me time and giving himself time.

It just keeps getting better [/sarcasm]
Fri Jan 12, 2007 @ 10:42 pm

I live in a homophobic town, population less than 800 last I checked. Somebody at school found out I'm gay and have left threats inside my locker and tagged all my books with Nazi symbols. A group of jocks stopped me in the halls and harassed me verbally and physically. I can't move fast enough on crutches to avoid them and what the hell they were doing there on a Friday who knows. Our school only has detention on Fridays with no regular program. There's more, but at this time I'm too emotional to type further.

Edited for more details:

Wednesday one of the teachers was asking me how I like my new family, and really I still only really know my little brother, I spent every waking hour in the same room with him in the hospital. So I was telling her how I can't help but love the little guy. Someone overheard me and they got a group together and twisted it into that I'm a pedo and that I love this little boy (he's thirteen but he's small for his age and most anyone who doesn't really know him assumes he's like eight or nine). I just went on to my next class and ignored them. But they did this between each class. Then Thursday one of the guys confronted me and asked if I'm gay. The town's homophobic and I've heard stories of what happens to people that "come out". The family that adopted me, they had a foster kid that was gay and he was taken out to the fields and whipped with pieces of glass tied at the ends. The only gay kid that even made it and stuck it out in this town was Simon. He was the only one that could get people to accept him for who he is. Even after he's gone people still go on about "what a nice boy he was even though he's gay." I'm scared man. They used whiteout on the inside of my locker with their homophobic sayings and spray painted the outside with rainbows and a tombstone with my name on it.

and yet there's still more than just threats, the only thing I got from teachers who saw my locker is "interesting choice design Max, you better have that scrubbed off by Monday" speaking of which I should go to the school today with the maintenance guy down at the hospital and get it off my locker. He'll know how to get it off. I just hope that the nazi cowboy kids let me heal up before they beat me down physically.

Getting Beat Up is Not a Recreational Activity

today I convinced dad to let me go to school to prove that I'm not scared of these jerks.

ANOTHER GREAT DAY IN MY CHAIR

Max is my newest adopted brother. He was in an automobile accident. He was not wearing his seatbelt and was thrown from the vehicle when it rolled into the ditch hitting a tree. For once not wearing a safety belt has saved someone's life. Something in the gas tank was faulty and not only did it burst into flames on impact, but the whole car exploded sending a mushroom cloud that we could see several miles away. If it were not for the explosion the paramedics and firemen would have never known about the accident until it was too late. Max was found unconscious and without a pulse and turning blue from the elements and lack of oxygen flow. The first person to arrive was a passerby who knew CPR. They continued CPR until help arrived and took over. He had died twice before arriving to the hospital. His mother and father and baby sister were not so lucky as they were killed by the flames. Autopsies showed charred lungs, meaning in short they were burned to death. Had they died upon impact, their lungs would have been only burned on the outermost parts as the heat consumed their flesh. Max would spend a week on life support as he waited for a heart to arrive. After my spinal fusion I was put in a room with a heart transplant patient, he did not know his name, or any of his past. I got in the habit of calling him Max. Upon learning that his family died my parents began the process of adoption. We named him Lucas Maximus. I call him Lucky in my thoughts. He is approximately fourteen to sixteen years old. Tomorrow we are going to the hospital for him to have a bone density scan in hopes to accurately know how old he really truly is. He has been writing a journal on GaiaOnline and at this time I would like to share something that I think all people should be aware of. But for now I am going to end this entry and enter a new one that especially those of you who hate gays or do not understand them should read. Please.

ANOTHER GREAT DAY IN MY CHAIR

I was banned because of COPPA. dA finally was put under the COPPA laws and refused service to anyone under the age of thirteen. I had to wait from about August until just today to come back. D:

Good news is I have improved in my art, bad news is that my poetry has suffered. Without anyone to share it with I have no motivation.

So here is an update on my life.

22 October Simon, my adopted big brother died from a fatal accident.

25th December I celebrated Christmas and Cece's birthday. She was my best mate she would have been thirteen if she did not die 6 years ago.

27th December (oui, two days after a lovely Christmas) I had a spinal fusion. I am still unable to sit up for long periods of time. But I figured out how to lay down and be on the computer still.

1 January I turned thirteen. I wish I could have had a dA birthday but besides still being banned since I was not knowing how to go about getting unbanned, I was also still in the hospital. I have only been home three days.

3 January I cried and mourned my best mate's date of her dying 6 years ago.

4 January my parents adopted my roommate from the hospital. His name is Max and he is about 14-17 years old. Nobody knows for sure cause he has amnesia and his family was killed in a car accident. For once NOT wearing a safety belt saved someone's life. He is really nice and he decided that fifteen was a good age. Perhaps he is to get tested to see how old he really is.

13 January I came home from my surgery and now must just take it easy. It hurts so bad but I must sit up each day for a few minutes

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!

Although I had to spend the day in the hospital, it was still a good day. I got many presents from Papa, Mum, Caleb, Kris, CK and Matrix.

I got a coloring book and a ripped pants spongebob toy from my best friend Matrix. I got a hotwheels firetruck and tutra from by best brother in the world. Then I got a awesome picasso shirt from Tams.

Mum and Papa got me a remote control helicopter that flies! Also got superman clothes and now I am a superboy. Granmum and Granpa sent me a book and CK got me a cool card that sings happy birthday.

Fox painted me a picture of superman surfing and it makes me feel so happy and dream of good things. Uncle Brent gave me a glass pen and two ink jars to write with, he says to inspire the writer in me. It is beautiful.

I hope the first of your year was as special as mine and the people you care about and love were there there with you. I am thinking of you and wish you a great new year.

~metalmercenary for his Stereotypical Police Officer

I have been progressively improving these past months since my initial injury. I like to think of myself as a cheerfull fellow and optimistic in most circumstances outwardly. Only an elite few have seen the ever looming darkness, threatening to shroud my eyes. I am so depressed currently that I shall not hide the raging sea within.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the kings horses
and all the kings men
Could not put Humpty Dumpty together again.

I have reinjured my spine and cannot feel the lower half of my body let alone move it. When you go from being a top athlete (at least in your own mind) to a "has been" you really do not know what to do with yourself. I am doing all that I can. But it just is not enough. I want to run again and surf and swim and bungee jump again. Anything. All that I know how to do now is to help people, answer their questions about Animal Crossing or dAmn or even Gaia. And now...I do not feel I can do a very good job at that. I must rest so much that I am being left behind in the race of knowlege. I am so far behind in my school work. It is overwhelming. I have been doing as much as I can at home. But my patience and understanding is lacking and my learning dissability is on the rise. I do not want to repeat year five again. I do not want to go to summer school. I am at an impass. I wish to simply give up and start over. That is all I have been doing. Starting over. I am stuck in a cycle of work work work work ooh a bit of progress work work BAM!! Start over again.

America has a tradition of giving thanks on a given day of the year. Very interesting custom I will like to support today by listing everything I am thankful for.

1|| My mum, for always being here for me in good times and bad times.

2|| My papa who married mum, and treats me as his son and loves me always no matter what.

3|| My uncle for teaching me new things everyday and keeps me wanting to go beyond my abilities.

4|| for the people all over the world researching cures for sick people

5|| For the watchers that care about others

6|| for the house that provides a roof to keep out the rain and walls to keep out the cold but space in between that keeps in all the love.

7|| for the doctors that care

8|| for my family that is non stop supportive constantly

9|| for those who cannot be with me physically but are here emotionally and spiritually getting us through the rough spots in life

10|| for the turkey that never knew he was going to be eaten today.

Today is a very tiring day. Last night my oxygen tank malfunctioned and naturally I panicked. My nurse fixed it in a matter of seconds. But when it is hard to breath it feels like an eternity. I am very thankful for her. She stayed up all night with me untill I fell asleep again. Mum and papa get more sleep with my nurse around. She is teaching mum and papa everything she does so that once my heart is not needing to be monitored they can take care of me a little bit better. It turns out that the everyday things mum and papa have been doing all of my life are not exactly right.

I have the best news ever! My whole family, except for Maya who is only a baby, are members at dA now!!!

Hello everyone,

This is a friend of Nakai, most of you can guess who this is. Most of you can figure out that something is wrong for me to be logging a journal on his page. But for those of you a little more dense and lacking in the brain area. This is Fox and there's something wrong. On November 9, 2005 Nakai had a heart attack. He was unresponsive for several hours. He is awake and alert now with slight confusion. He should be coming home in a week or so. Please keep his family in your prayers. These are some emotional times for them.

If anyone makes a get well deviation for Nakai, please note either =AlphaKitsune or =The-Phantom-Surfer with a link so we can print it out and get it to him asap.
Nakai sends his love to everyone that cares .

November 18, 2005

Nakai sends his love. He's more alert today but is still in semi critical condition though he's out of ICU. He's coming home today but just because the hospital he's at sucks bad. He has an infection from an incision they had to do to put in a feeding tube and other stuff that will just make the little guy upset if he finds out about.

I am home! I am home! I am home! I am home! I am home! I am home!

I will like to thank the following for their gifts:

Now back to my original journal:

I have a goal, not a major one like running etc. Just a small useless goal that means nothing to anyone but myself. This is my goal: to have 300,000 hits on my LEGO CLUB PAGE. This was once my goal many months ago. But then LEGO.com became dull and unexciting. Recently I have returned to LEGO.com and low and behold I am still on the top ten for traffic. I really really really want to be number one. Even if it is just for a moment. Merci all who give me hits there. Just go to the page and keep refreshing please. I come to you on my hands and knees.

*metalmercenary for his Stereotypical Police Officer

Yesterday I descovered something that I wish I never knew. I am not sure what made me ask in the first place. It could be that I met some one in #devart that had one. Perhaps it was just trying to start a conversation. I do not know. But I do know that I asked and the answer I recieved made me quite sad. I asked my mum if I ever had a twin.

His name was Reme. He died when we were born. We were identicle twins meaning we shared the same stuff. We looked alike. I feel so sad inside. I feel like I missed out on knowing someone as wonderful as me. I wonder what he would have been like if he lived. We would have gotten in so much trouble together, it would have been great.

I feel at peace though. I know my mum will be honest with me no matter the question. I know now that I could of had a brother with the same father. I wish Reme was alive that he did not die. It is how I feel about my real father. I never met either of them except for Reme for the short time he did live. I miss both of them so much.
