                <description><![CDATA[ My art's reached a standstill lately. If it's not the lack of time for it, it's the lack of inspiration. -sigh- I'm sure many of you know how that feels.<br />
Not only have I not had time for drawing, I haven't had time for friends. It's starting to really depress me. I miss Crystal a lot and worry about her, but it seems I can't even manage to catch her when she's online. Not to mention she lives a cajillion miles away. And DAMN IT ALL EVEN MORE!!!~<br />
I broke my goddamn cellphone. It doesn't let a phonecall last more than 3 minutes without shutting itself off.<br />
>:[ Mucho suck, m i rite?<br />
<br />
Atleast my boyfriend and I are good. 2 months already. Not a long time, of course, but we've been through a lot so it feels like it's been a lot longer. He's at work right now, though, so I've got nothin to do. :< (eets my day off laaawl)<br />
<br />
Oh yeah. I've decided to wait until Winter to sign up for college. There's a lot of things going on with my family that I'd care not to elaborate on, but it's somewhat hindering. Besides, I can't afford it myself right now, so I have to keep saving.<br />
<br />
Aaaaand that's about it. God damn I'm  bored.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ If anything, I can say it's been a rather inspiring week or so, thus far.<br />
Yesterday I delved into the world of hallucinogens for the first, but more than likely, not the last time. I can't even begin to elaborate on my experience despite how hard I've tried to form some sort of explanation. <br />
In reality, the entire time, I was horribly frightened. I didn't even remember smoking the salvia after my trip had begun. It was as if I'd forgotten who I was, where I was and what was going on. I looked at my friend, as time slowed down and smiled to tell him I could feel it. But as I opened my mouth to announce my immense high, everything around me started to vibrate rapidly. It was as if I was watching soundwaves or something. Standing up was the worst idea I'd ever had. The vibrations got worse, <b>much</b> worse. The only thing that was continuiously still was my other friend who was also tripping. Because he was the only thing I could focus on, I walked towards him. I walked out of his screened porch, tripping on myself and looked at him to see everything behind him break away into blankness. Iopened my mouth again to speak. I wanted to tell him "Thank you. This is incredible." but I only managed to mumble "I'm not ok." <br />
As he came towards me to help, our other friend (the third person we were sharing this experience with) came outside. He looked at us and said something that wasn't audible at all. Then he ran towards the ladder leading to the roof of the house. <br />
It was at this point that I walked back inside and put my head down. I fought for reality but only sank deeper into my trip. It felt like it'd been hours but was only five minutes of the most intense feeling conceivable. As it ended, it seemed as if my mind had imploded on itself. I could hear footsteps above my head. For a moment I thought I was still in this world of insanity, but realized it was only my two friends. Shortly after that, they both came inside with blank stares on their faces. As if they'd seen death and come back. For the next hour, we were silent. Sitting together trying to gather our thoughts. The only thing I could think of was how badly I wished Sam, or anyone for that matter,was next to me holding my hand telling me I wasn't alone. <br />
After the hour had passed, I felt empty. But at the same time, oddly enough, rejuvinated. <br />
To sum it up, I don't think I'd do salvia again because I was lost in a place that I couldn't get back from. I was thrown back. I'd like to try other things just to say I've experienced it, but hallucinogenic drugs, as well as every other drug besides good ol' ganja, aren't exactly up my ally.<br />
<br />
I'm grateful for reality.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm tired.<br />
<br />
All kinds of tired.<br />
<br />
I've been nonstop rocking out for 2 days straight and I'm drained.<br />
<br />
<br />
2 days ago.. whichever the hell day that was.. er.. Saturday night was pretty crazy. Didn't have any intention of going out or doing anything. I wanted to laze around and whatnot. Oh well, lazing around didn't happen at all. Tom called me up feelin' pretty down.<br />
<br />
For those of you who don't know, Tom, Gage, and Crystal are my best friends. And when one of my best friends is feelin crappy, I wanna do what I can to make 'em feel better.<br />
<br />
Soooo, I got ready to go to Tommy's house and whatnot when he calls and tells me he can't come get me 'cause he's waiting for the cops to come to his house.<br />
<br />
Get this.<br />
<br />
He's outside warming up his engine at the end of the street when some crazy drunk lady comes out and throws a fit about his car and totally loses her shit with Tom. She threatens to call the police and then throws her drink in Tom's face getting it all over him, Anthony, and the interior of his car.<br />
Oh yeah... and she called the cops.<br />
<br />
Soo, I bum a ride from my mom over to Tom's place to chill with him and Anthony. We talk to the cops and nobody's at fault. (S'all good :] ) We chilled at Anthony's place. Listened to music. Watched a movie and passed out at about 4 in the morning.<br />
<br />
The next day was probably one of the most epic days of our lives.<br />
<br />
And by epic I mean it was pretty damn spiffy.<br />
<br />
Without the intent of having an awesome day, it all started when we went to the mall to pass out some papers for Anthony's mom. When that was done we went in and walked around for a bit.<br />
<br />
Visited De-lyn at work, decided we'd all chill together <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":O" title=":O (Eek)" /><br />
Theeeeen Heather (H-Dawg/Dizzle) came along too <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
And who'd a thunk that Gage'd be back too? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />DDD<br />
<br />
It seems that Tom, Anthony and I had unintentionally created a small party.<br />
Well, what's a party without some decent booze/drinking games?<br />
<br />
Soooo we definately played an epic game of Mexico.<br />
<br />
O_O; Then Kevin called (WTF HAX @ ALL THESE PPLZ) <br />
Of course, if you're BYOB, you're more than welcome at Tom's place. <br />
So Kevin came.<br />
We had a pretty fun night. <br />
Nooobody slept<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh<br />
<br />
and PS:<br />
<br />
<br />
Gage AND Tom ran through the streets naked this time.<br />
<br />
<br />
XDDD retards.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Sarah's birthday's coming up lol. >_>; everytime I try to call her, she doesn't answer her phone lolz!<br />
<_<; Matt and I wanna do somethin fun with her and yeah.. XD IT'S HARD TO REACH THE KOREAN!(Korea, if you see this, DAMN IT GIMME OR MATT A CALL)<br />
<br />
In other news, I'm sick. It sucks balls. >_>; <br />
<br />
The other night was pretty fun.<br />
Originally, Matt and I were supposed to go over to Spazz's, but as usual.. our plans always fall through or get wonkified somehow.<br />
Instead, Tom, Anthony and I looked at cars for awhile. Went back to Tom's house, met up with Heather and had a lot of fun. Tom, Heather and I went to the mall and looked at girly stuff. (lol poor Tom)<br />
Really, I was just wasting time, waiting for Matt to get out of school lol. It was all fun, though.<br />
Matt came and got me around 9 and we left for Spazz's (a lot later than I'd hoped for) I called up Tom and Kevin and invited them to come along. <br />
XDD While waiting for everybody to show up at Spazz's, I totally busted ass on her table and spilled tea on her carpet :[ (In my defense, I'm pretty sick and was dizzy from laughing at Matt dancing around in his dress lol) -Sorry again, Spazz <333 ;-;-<br />
Kev and Tom showed up. Spazz and her friend got jiggy with it and rocked out to some awesome techno with glowsticks. It was all pretty cool. Hopefully everyone had a good time.<br />
>__>; I'm pretty sure Tom managed to piss a few people off, though. Oh well, that's Charles for you.<br />
<br />
But yeah..after Spazz's, Tom, Kitty, Kevin. Matt and myself went and got some Steak n' Shake and just chilled out for awhile. Good stuff, y'all.<br />
<br />
Ninja Adventures are fun.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
Every day, there are more and more Craigs List posts seeking artists for everything from auto graphics to comic books to corporate logo designs. More people are finding themselves in need of some form of illustrative service.<br />
<br />
But what theyre NOT doing, unfortunately, is realizing how rare someone with these particular talents can be.<br />
<br />
To those who are seeking artists, let me ask you; How many people do you know, personally, with the talent and skill to perform the services you need? A dozen? Five? One? none?<br />
<br />
More than likely, you dont know any. Otherwise, you wouldnt be posting on craigslist to find them.<br />
<br />
And this is not really a surprise.<br />
<br />
In this country, there are almost twice as many neurosurgeons as there are professional illustrators. There are eleven times as many certified mechanics. There are SEVENTY times as many people in the IT field.<br />
<br />
So, given that they are less rare, and therefore less in demand, would it make sense to ask your mechanic to work on your car for free? Would you look him in the eye, with a straight face, and tell him that his compensation would be the ability to have his work shown to others as you drive down the street?<br />
<br />
Would you offer a neurosurgeon the opportunity to add your name to his resume as payment for removing that pesky tumor? (Maybe you could offer him a few bucks for materials. What a deal!)<br />
<br />
Would you be able to seriously even CONSIDER offering your web hosting service the chance to have people see their work, by viewing your website, as their payment for hosting you?<br />
<br />
If you answered yes to ANY of the above, youre obviously insane. If you answered no, then kudos to you for living in the real world.<br />
<br />
But then tell me why would you think it is okay to live out the same, delusional, ridiculous fantasy when seeking someone whose abilities are even less in supply than these folks?<br />
<br />
Graphic artists, illustrators, painters, etc., are skilled tradesmen. As such, to consider them as, or deal with them as, anything less than professionals fully deserving of your respect is both insulting and a bad reflection on you as a sane, reasonable person. In short, it makes you look like a twit.<br />
<br />
A few things you need to know;<br />
<br />
1. It is not a great opportunity for an artist to have his work seen on your car/zine/website/bedroom wall, etc. It IS a great opportunity for YOU to have their work there.<br />
<br />
2. It is not clever to seek a student or beginner in an attempt to get work for free. Its ignorant and insulting. They may be students, but that does not mean they dont deserve to be paid for their hard work. You were a student once, too. Would you have taken that job at McDonalds with no pay, because you were learning essential job skills for the real world? Yes, your proposition it JUST as stupid.<br />
<br />
3. The chance to have their name on something that is going to be seen by other people, whether its one or one million, is NOT a valid enticement. Neither is the right to add that work to their portfolio. They get to do those things ANYWAY, after being paid as they should. Its not compensation. Its their right, and its a given.<br />
<br />
4. Stop thinking that youre giving them some great chance to work. Once they skip over your silly ad, as they should, the next ad is usually for someone who lives in the real world, and as such, will pay them. There are far more jobs needing these skills than there are people who possess these skills.<br />
<br />
5. Students DO need experience. But they do NOT need to get it by giving their work away. In fact, this does not even offer them the experience they need. Anyone who will not/can not pay them is obviously the type of person or business they should be ashamed to have on their resume anyway. Do you think professional contractors list the experience they got while nailing down a loose step at their grandmothers house when they were seventeen?<br />
<br />
If you your company or gig was worth listing as desired experience, it would be able to pay for the services it received. The only experience they will get doing free work for you is a lesson learned in what kinds of scrubs they should not lower themselves to deal with.<br />
<br />
6. (This one is FOR the artists out there, please pay attention.) Some will ask you to submit work for consideration. They may even be posing as some sort of contest. These are almost always scams. They will take the work submitted by many artists seeking to win the contest, or be chosen for the gig, and find what they like most. They will then usually have... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm feeling kind of lost, lately. My life is at a standstill that's out of my control but s'all good, right?<br />
<br />
I guess so...<br />
<br />
Lately I've been meeting new people and making new friends. Change is a good thing though. So I'm happy. I just wish there was some kind of progression.<br />
<br />
Also, I'm kind of fighting with myself. For the first time in a while, I really do like someone.. Unfortuneatly.. he's a lot older than me.. I don't know what to do. I've been trying to find a reason not to like him other than our age difference and I've failed to find any. <br />
I wish I was older.. or he was younger.. or something.. The whole situation makes me feel really insecure. Yet, each time I talk to him, I grow even fonder.. I don't want to admit it, but I do. <br />
My friends say it's not too bad.. but I don't know.<br />
<br />
XD and my mom's giving me a complex that he's either a creep or I'm not good enough, even though the latter is purely unintentional.<br />
<br />
But, I don't think it's either of those.. <br />
<br />
Meh.. silly romance.<br />
<br />
Oh yeah.. I'm starting up school again really soon :]<br />
It's gonna be hellatight y'all *gangtuh signs*<br />
I'm also going to be looking around for people who'd be interested in purchasing my art.. haha.. it's about time I got my foot out of the door.<br />
<br />
I'm also continuing to work on my story, Eljiore (which I'm debating on whether or not to change the name) It's a slow process, but hey.. I'm a one-man team lolz.<br />
<br />
Not looking forward to much else in life right now other than the Dragonforce concert in March..<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm counting down the days <3<br />

Does it really matter when in the end it's still all a lie?<br />
<br />
Teachers lie, friends lie, even your family lies to you. <br />
<br />
I wonder how much I'm going to lie to keep my family safe. I wonder how much I do not know.<br />
<br />
A lie can taint everything you once looked back on fondly. <br />
Then you wonder how much more you don't know. What you'll never know. Then it eats at you.<br />

My friends made 4 gallons of mead. Mead, for those of you who don't know, is fermented honey wine. Aka de-fucking-licious.<br />
There were 6 people there. 5 of us were drinking. Needless to say, we were very, <b>very</b> drunk.<br />
<br />
You know what's amazing about getting drunk with your best friends?<br />
Tricking them into taking off their clothes and running through the streets naked.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Holy crap! I didn't know it was almost Thanks Giving. Apparently Christmas is coming up to, along with Kwanza and that holiday Jewish people celebrate.<br />
<br />
Hoobah whuta?<br />
<br />
Damn holidays always sneak up on me. Kind of like fat people sneaking up on their snickerdoodle prey...<br />
<br />
mmmm snickerdoodles.<br />
<br />
I'm probably going to get my mom a menorah for Christmas.<br />
>_><br />
<_<<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
ANYWHOODLES, life is good for the most part. My back is sore from sitting on my ass too much. Didn't know that was possible, but apparently it is.<br />
<br />
Also, another random blurbering thingie.. I'm gonna draw Naa.<br />
<br />
Seeing as I drew Deth.. I should draw Naa too. I'd draw Hakuri but like.. ;-; Sarah, you're a god.. <br />
XD I'll just draw Naa and Hak together.<br />
:3<br />

<br />
Friday was kind of crappy. My weeks been kind of crappy. I'm only on because I'm taking a break from cleaning the house.<br />
Ugh..<br />
Last night was fun, don't get me wrong. Great party at Wes's. Awesome bonfire and we even shot off fireworks It was really cool. Except for when I thought people were leaving to pick up food and would be back..<br />
but the party was actually over...<br />
and I was left there all by myself, WAITING for Wes, Gran, Aaron, Doug, Randy and Christina to come back.<br />
<br />
Waiting didn't bother me..<br />
It was the massive raccoon that came into the garage and hissed at me that blew.<br />
Wtf.. coons. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
<br />
My ex bf Mike came, too. It was pretty cool talking to him again. Forgot how easily we got along XD<br />
I hope he's doing better now because he seemed pretty down at the party.<br />
<br />
Bah.<br />
I'm so tired.<br />
Oh well.<br />
Gonna do it all over again tonight lawlz!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I don't know who the bigger bitch is, my mom or my stepdad.<br />
Cj, sorry, but you're fat. I'm supprised Olivia hasn't been lost in your gurth. Seriously, you shouldn't act all shocked and supprised when mom says<br />
"Please don't eat all of our food". If you were one of my friends I'd be calling you blubber boobies right now and telling you to do the truffle shuffle. You're fat.<br />
Not chubby fat, just fat. The kind of fat that takes years of wasting to accomplish. Mom just wants you to... not clean out our fridge and then complain that there's no food.<br />
<br />
... fatty.<br />
<br />
Mom, you're not fat, but you're still obnoxious as hell.<br />
-RIIING RIIING, RIING YOU SON OF A BITCH-<br />
Me: Hello?<br />
Mom: HAY. HAY U. YAH, U. TELL CJ I NEED 2 TALK 2 HIM, K?<br />
Me: Cj...? Mom want's to-<br />
CJ- WAAAH, I'M FAT. I'M GOING TO SET AN AMAZING EXAMPLE FOR MY CHILD BY ACTING LIKE A BITCH. NO. I'M NOT TALKING TO <i>YOUR MOTHER</i><br />
Me: Mom he's not gonna talk..<br />
Mom: TELL HIM I NEED TO TALK TO HIM<br />
Me:... this isn't fair you know..<br />
<br />
If you have kids and you love them, don't put them in the middle of your shit. It's not fair at all.<br />
I don't know how many times I've heard "TAKE MY SIDE" but I'm sick of it.<br />
Then when I say I want no part in it, I get put down.<br />
I was al<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Halloween was pretty fun. Ate my weight in tootsie rolls. Hahahaha not really.. >__>; I don't like candy that much.<br />
<br />
My brain is all over the place today. Dave's (Tom's stepdather) funeral is now going to be on Saturday. I hope everything goes well. Tom seems like he's doing ok but he sounded pretty distant over the phone.<br />
Meh.. it's depressing. <br />
<br />
I'm glad Crys and Sarah hung out with me on Halloween. That was definately kick ass. I missed those guys big time. Can't wait til I can go back to Rocky's (Actually, I think I'm allowed back now). Hopefully we can hang out more and go there together. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />DD kickass/10<br />
<br />
Drawing a few pictures.. One of which is a dethpop fanart for Crys.<br />
'Cause I know she loves her dethie.<br />
I'm trying really hard to feel inspired, but you know how that works.. when you want it, it doesn't come..<br />
baaaaaah<br />
<br />
baaaaaaaaaah<br />
<br />
I'm like a sheeeeeeep<br />
baaaaaah.<br />

Good lord, I'm obnoxious.<br />

Oh well.<br />
<br />
I've been trying to change my art style lately seeing as I'm not happy with it lol. It's starting to look different, I think. Submission's to come soon.<br />
<br />
Also, I'm sorry if I haven't been commenting as much. Been pretty busy lately but now I've got freetime so don't be alarmed if you get mass comments from me lol.<br />
<br />
Going to Dave's funeral on Friday, I think. Tom's probably the strongest human being I'll ever meet. <br />
<br />
Anyway.. I gotta clean right now and get ready to chill with the Korean Cap'n and Crystaliepoo.<br />
<br />
Peace out.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I should've been there for you, man. I really hope you're ok. Suicide is fucked up.<br />
<br />
You, Gage and me should get together and kick back a few beers.<br />

You know you're in my thoughts and if there's anything you or your family needs, just give me a ring.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So..<br />
friggin...<br />
tired.<br />
<br />
I'm always friggin' tired.<br />
I was working on a lot of stuff, but since the weekend rolled around, I haven't even had the energy to lift my arms above my head.<br />
I designed a tattoo for myself that I'm getting for my birthday. It's going to rock the fucking house and kick some ass.<br />
<br />
List of things that suck:<br />
1. Bday is next Friday and I've got jack shit to do on it.<br />
2. Gran's doing band festival on his bday(Saturday)<br />
3. As much as I desperately wanted this year to be better than the last couple, it's showing it's suckitude.<br />
4. I can't have a party at my house because we're moving.<br />
5. Can't have a party at the arcade because I got B& til like November.<br />
6. This list.<br />
<br />
END OF LIST<br />
<br />
I miss my friends and haven't been able to see anyone in a long ass time.<br />
School is almost over, though. Thank god. I can't handle being around those idiots much longer.<br />
<br />
<br />
The title of this journal holds some truths.<br />
LL makes me feel fat XFD. <br />
I'm gonna go on a diet before random LLers come to my house screaming "MAN THE HARPOONS"<br />
>_<;<br />
damn.<br />
<br />
damn.<br />

<br />
damn.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Wow.<br />
Friday was so awful and then it magically turned into the most amazing evening and night I ever did have.<br />
Ever.<br />
<a href="http://www.luelinks.net">[link]</a> Don't try to join, you wont get in. You can just be humbled by the greatness of it's gates.<br />
For the past 2 years, I've wanted an account of my own.<br />
After meeting Michael V.(mein ex) and seeing his account for the first time... D: I knew I had to be apart of the greatness. Sure.. I got to bum off his account, but it wasn't my own. After that, Tarik was nice enough to share his account with me.<br />
<br />
Well, now, I have my own account.<br />
Now... I will be one of the few... the proud... who sends mass amounts of empty boxes to Jack Thompson and learns him good about banning games.<br />
<br />
*<3333 Windown, you rock. Thank you SO much for getting me in.* <br />
<br />
The reason why the first part of the day sucked is because my money, gum and cheezits got stolenated from my bag in school. D':... <br />
<br />
But after a hellish day of school, Friday was good. <br />
Granville and I finally had alone time. That's wonderfully awesome because we are usually... always... with friends. It was nice to just chill out and it just be the two of us. Definately had a load of fun.<br />
<br />
At around 2, Wes and Brian showed up at Gran's house to come and get us and Doug.<br />
<br />
aka Captain Pussywhipped.<br />
<br />
Well, Captain Pussywhipped is just like his name suggests... Pussywhipped.<br />
<br />
Anyway his girlfriend, Cindy aka CINDAR (named from a previous situation where she tried to screw over my best friend) hates my face.<br />
Ok.<br />
Now, lets take a moment to stop and think about this.<br />
<br />
This girl has absolutely no impact on my life what so ever or any peoples lives except for Pussywhipped.<br />
Well, we used to be friends until I realized she was cuh-razy. My best friend loved this girl with all his heart and soul. As she did for him. But thank god for Gage's mom and her amazing ability to spot the crazies. When they broke up, all hell broke loose for about 2 months.<br />
uggh..<br />
<br />
Anyway, CINDAR has the audacity to tell my boyfriend I'm not good enough for him etc etc. Which is downright rude. So, being the open person I usually am, I called her a crazy bitch.<br />
This makes her haaaaaate me lol.<br />
<br />
But just because she hates me, she tells Pussywhipped to bail on all his friends.<br />
Btw, Pussywhipped was my friend years before CINDAR ever got her controlling hands on him. <br />
<br />
Bros before hos. But in Pussywhipped case it's<br />
"May I please have bros before hos, honey?"<br />
"NO. TITS OR GTFO, PUSSYWHIPPED"<br />
"Yes ma'am"<br />
<br />
Anyway... I totally digressed there.<br />
<br />
When Wes and Brian showed up. Pussywhipped was not with us.<br />
It was the last straw. We went to go visit. Failing to get his attention, we stole his bike seat and went back to Wes's house.<br />
Now, whenever he rides his bike he'll continue to be riminded of CINDAR's huge metal pole shoved in his backside.<br />
: ( I want Doug back.<br />
<br />
Well.. Wes's house was fun. Played some SSB and had a jolly good time.<br />
Going back tonight for stratigy game night! Yeeeey! <3<br />
<br />
Anyway.. that's my weekend thus far XD<br />
Time to check my messages!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hmm.. my weekend consisted of awesome and greatness.<br />
<br />
Friday: This day blew it from all holes. I got hit on by a guy nicknamed Cornflake.<br />
... Cornflake.<br />
<br />
Saturday: What a great day. Took my controller over to Toms house (which I accidentally left over there D<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> and kicked his ass NASTY in Tekken 5.<br />
Played a fun game I like to call victory shots.<br />
Thats where you drink until you start to lose.<br />
Needless to say, it took me about 5 shots and a big friggin' margarita to lose.<br />
Oh well. Fun stuff.<br />
Tom, being the awesome guy he is, gave me a ride over to Wes's where Gran and his crew were. Hung out with them and watched Harold and Kumar. Good stuff.<br />
<br />
Sunday: Woke up sore, hung over, sore, and exhausted... but next to the greatest guy I've ever met. And just 'cause it was with him.. the worst sleep I've ever had turned into the best sleep I ever had. XD Bwahahaha  I'm ghey. But gay means happy and happy means gay.<br />
Big Gay Al says it's ok to be gay <3<br />
<br />
I slept most of Sunday and woke up this morning feelin' great.<br />
School is pretty good. <br />
Lifes good.<br />
I'm workin' on some new stuff that I'll be submittin' soon <3<br />
Peace y'all<br /><br /> ]]></description>

What a day!!!<br />
<br />
I skipped school today to help mom with some chores because we're selling our home very soon. Probably gonna move back to our old neighborhood in WinterPark.<br />
C'est tres jolie! <br />
Cut and dyed my hair again (finally. It looks like it did before the black and gold streaks... thaaank goodness!)<br />
<br />
Umm... hmm Gran and I are pretty good. We get cranky with eachother a lot, but hey, its life lolz.<br />
<br />
I miss Crystal ooooh sooo much. D: Main Damie Deux, je t'aime! <3<br />
I hope she's having a good time at Jey's house this week. (her grandparents are out of town, so she's staying with her boyfriend)<br />
<br />
My birthday is coming up <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":O" title=":O (Eek)" />!<br />
I want books on learning Russian so that I can study it more intensively. (I'm learning to speak, read, and write Russian if I haven't told you XD)<br />
Glasses because I'm blind and can't drive without 'em..<br />
And and and...<br />
umm<br />
Hopefully Gran and I can spend our birthdays together (they're a day apart lawl)<br />
<br />
Oh well.. I can't think of much else to say.<br />
I've got lots of art to post but I'm a bit too lazy to do it at the moment XD.<br />
I'll do it in another day or two.<br />
Just wanted to check in <3 ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I fell asleep around 8:30 last night and woke up at 2 this morning.<br />
Sucks, Charles.<br />
Sucks a big one.<br />
<br />
I honestly hope that Mom lets me go to the football game today. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> I really want to see Gran play. I miss all of my friends from school. It'd be nice to see everybody again and what not. <br />
I'm so damn excited for Snakes On A Plane. Matt, Crys, Gran, and me are gonna rock the friggin' house.<br />
Although, I'm not sure if Gran and I are gonna go with Matt and Crys.. Depending on how he's feeling. (school+marching band practice+marching at football game=exhausting) <br />
<_< But I still have every intention on chucking snakes at people.<br />
Why?<br />
Because it's wrong you say?<br />
Oh yes... That's why. That is why and for so many other reasons.<br />
... Why?<br />
Stop asking me why, damn it. Stupid typing to myself on DA journal.. <br />
<br />
>_> I showed my mom Homestar Runner last night.<br />
<br />
She thought it was funny.<br />
<br />
I'm proud.<br />

Teen Girl Squad is our favorite. ]]></description>

Talking to my ex boyfriend, Matt.. we've planned some mighty awesome awesomeness, we're going to get our tickest and mass amounts of plastic snakes.<br />

Everytime there's a scary bit in the movie, we throw a snake into the audience.<br />
Shit's gonna pwn.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Life isn't as hard as people make it out to be. Honestly, it's not.<br />
Life is hard when you make it hard.<br />
<br />
My parents are fighting about this and that. They always seem to try to drag me into it.<br />
Wanting me to take a side.<br />
Why?<br />
<br />
When I voice my opinion, they yell.<br />
When I don't voice my opinion, my fat prick of a stepfather calls me a coward. ~I hope he checks this out because his fat is starting to grow fat... Diet, CJ!<br />
<br />
Cj tells me I'm just like my mom. (which isn't that bad)<br />
Mom tells me I'm just like my dad. (I'd like to punch her to the moon for that)<br />
<br />
They're both bullies, bullies who can't get out of their own way. <br />
<br />
<br />
Today's car ride home with Stepdaddy-dearest was the usual:<br />
Put down my mother<br />
Put me down<br />
Yell at Olivia and myself for absolutely nothing<br />
Put me down some more<br />
Yell about how shitty his life is and how much he hates living with our family.<br />
<br />
You know...<br />
I might hate a lot of things my mom says... I might hate how annoying my sister can be, but I love them. Luckily, I have them and know that they will always be there for me. <br />
<br />
So what if Sesame street and Disney movies are annoying?<br />
<br />
You're watching it with a 4 year old girl that's happy and healthy. You're blessed to see her grow.<br />
Sure, my mom is something awful of a bitch. Seriously.. She's like a jewish version of Alien when she's angry. But she's not a bad person. She works harder than anyone else in this family and has the worst time dealing with all of us.<br />
<br />
Something I've noticed is that CJ always tells me I'll figure things out when I'm older.<br />
"Your mom's a bitch"<br />
"..."<br />
"Bah you'll figure it out when you're older"<br />
<__<<br />
Although I'm a teenager, I'm not THAT stupid.<br />
<br />
I'm not bashing my head against a tree and mistaking it for a game of hopscotch. <br />
I don't understand it because I'm not a bitter fat douche.<br />
<br />
He's angry because his cellphone bill is ridiculously expensive.<br />
Now, I used my old phone WAY too much and ran up a huge bill..<br />
This time around, my bill was 23.00 dollars. Mom's bill was 56.00 dollars.<br />
That's about 80 bucks between us.<br />
He's mad because his bill is close to 500 fucking dollars.<br />
<br />
He uses his cellphone more times a day than there are fat kids at McDonalds. So when I point out that Mom's bill and my bill are rather cheap, he calls me stupid and tells me I can't read.<br />
<br />
He tells me I don't stand up for myself and then puts me down.<br />
And he was never too bad about it before, but it seems that as I get older, he feels that it is of the most importance to put me down. He actually yelled at me today for taking my sisters milkshake because she didn't want to hold onto it.<br />
I wasn't drinking it.<br />
I was holding the fucking milkshake so that Olivia, a little girl, can eat her god damn happy meal and not have to worry about a 3 pound milkshake in her lap that she didn't even want to drink.<br />
<br />
Don't get me wrong.. I love my stepdad. He's been around for 10 years and if I had to choose between him and my biological father(post crack-addiction) I would most definately choose CJ.<br />
He's always been around when I needed him.<br />
We've always gotten along.<br />
<br />
But when he's upset, he tends to bring everyone else down with him.<br />
<br />
My parents aren't together anymore. They got divorced a long time ago.<br />
CJ lives with us for Olivia and because he fucked up royally in the finacial dept back in the day. Mom was there to help him pick up the pieces. They weren't even together.<br />
<br />
My mom is a good woman. Under her scary bitchy facade, there's a kind heart that is more than giving.<br />
Cj should atleast be greatful.<br />
<br />
Sorry for ranting about this... but I needed to get it off my chest somehow.. and neither of my parents like hearing the piano...<br />
and I'm too pissed to sit and draw.. SOOO<br />
writing ahoooy!<br />
<br />
.....<br />
<br />
But the next time CJ calls me a coward... I'll probably call him a cow.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I got out of bed at 7 this morning to get my mother and sister up so that they could take me to register for school.<br />
It is now 9:30 and my mother is just now getting in the shower.<br />
I'm rather annoyed.<br />
This morning has consisted of yelling, screaming, more yelling, and an argument about healthy eating.<br />
<br />
Well I am SO SORRY that I don't want to eat bland nasty food. Healthy food can have flavor too. <br />
<br />
... Just not the shit she buys.<br />
<br />
The only reason I'm ranting to DA is for taking my attention away from my snorlax mother. Yeah.. Pokemon references ftw! Today, I'm not in the mood to fuck around and I seriously wanna get some shit taken care of. <br />
<br />
I wanna start school and get it done and over with. This house is going on the market really soon and things are gonna start going at a really fast pace.<br />
<br />
Running on little sleep and even less patience...<br />
<br />
D: I wish Stimpy was here with me.. <br />
<br />
<br />
<__< I want to go to school for animation when I'm finished with SCC.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ My dad's a crack addict.<br />
<br />
You know what got him started on it?....<br />
<br />
Coke.<br />
<br />
My dad wasn't the best guy. He wasn't around that often. He did a lot of drugs and partied a lot... A lot. But my dad did try to be there for me. He did make time to spend with me. We did do fun things together.<br />
Notice I'm using past tense here (for all of you lovers of the fine English language)<br />
<br />
My dad's a crack addict.<br />
He's insane.<br />
Not saying it in a joking sense... My dad is mentally ill now.<br />
<br />
... My dad was one of the smartest people I've ever met.<br />
<br />
Now he's a nutjob.<br />
<br />
I've already learned... There's nothing you can do for a coke-head. There's nothing you can do for a crack addict. You can't help them, so it's best to just let go.<br />
<br />
<br />
He had a nice thing going... beautiful house on a lake.... Awesome boats, nice cars, wakeboards, 4wheelers, motorcycles, and a few amazing guitars.<br />
But seeing as none of that was enough, he resorted to heavy drugs. Ha.. now he's got nothing.<br />
<br />
.. Now he thinks he's being chased by helicopters.<br />
<br />
I haven't spoken to my dad in almost 3 years now.<br />
<br />
It kills me.<br />
<br />
So how do you think I'd react when one of my very good friends dabbles in it?<br />
Well, I thought I handled it quite nicely... I didn't yell.. I didn't lose my shit... <br />
I just asked her nicely to stay away from it. Told her it destroys lives. <br />
heh.. obviously taking my word for it wasn't enough..<br />
<br />
<br />
So, last night, I was supposed to go to a nice calm party with a few friends from back in the day at school.<br />
Because I love this girl, I invited her to come along.<br />
<br />
They go to get her..<br />
<br />
Things are great... until the retarded bitch suggests coke.<br />
<br />
Yeah.. if you're reading this, sorry. That's what you are.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure what makes me more pissed...<br />
<br />
The fact that she wanted more..<br />
Or the fact that she was willing to put MY FRIENDS through hell... <br />
Fuck this shit.<br />
<br />
You dumbass. How did you like being in the woods? How did you like being in a weird place.. being involved in a coke-deal? Pretty classy, don't you think?<br />
<br />
I didn't go to that party because I was disgusted with her. <br />
<br />
Also, it's one thing to do that shit... it's another thing to involve abunch of people who want nothing to do with it... having THEM drive you. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If you want to lose everything you've worked for or loved..<br />
PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU!! DO LOTS OF COKE. SMOKE CRACK! WHORE YOURSELF FOR DRUGS!!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
I spent the night at Wesley's house. Stayed up all night just to wake up Granville so we could spend a little bit of time together. <br />
We had fun. Which was nice. He definately made this bullshit easier to deal with.<br />
<br />
As for my coke-friend..<br />
<br />
I could let go of my dad... Don't think it'd be hard to let go of you. Also, there's nothing prestigious about the shit you're doing.<br />
Might aswell forget about college and a nice life now. <br />
<br />
Well, fuck this journal entry.. I'm thirsty. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I get my DA account back! Weeee!<br />
<br />
Got introuble for being too vulgar while um.. hmm how do I say it?<br />
Oh.. <br />
While Crystal looked like she was going to die, one of her used to be friends ranted about how much he hated her and how evil she was.<br />
<_<..<br />
he should've kept it to himself.<br />
Anyway, I was pretty mad at it and sent him a lot of mean stuff.<br />
Haha I got in trouble for it lolololol. It was worth it though.<br />
Hell, I'd do it again.<br />
----------------------------<br />
<br />
Life's been good.<br />
Granville and I are really really really good.<br />
<br />
a bit tired and a bit sick from ninja adventuring..<br />
and I'll have a lot of new stuff coming in.<br />
----------------------------<br />
<br />
Things that suck:<br />
<br />
Eli really hasn't been helping me with Eljiore at all.<br />
I could seriously use some help with the damn comic or I'm just going to drop it.<br />
I don't want to drop it.<br />
<br />
<br />
anyway... that's about it for now.<br />
Don't feel good.. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Crystal is doing much better. We had an awesome party in the ICU today.<br />
Still in critical condition... BUT HELL, BEING ON THE VERGE OF DEATH CAN'T STOP CRYS FROM HAVING A GOOD TIME.<br />
She's a badass. <br />
While leaving the hospital, Gage and I saw something quite intriguing. A door bell. Not a hospital buzzer. Not some stupid button. A door bell. It was a beautiful moment of friendship. We exchanged glances. Looking first at the doorbell, then at eachother. We nodded. Slowly, Gages finger rose.... it pressed the doorbell and we proceeded to run like hell down the hospital halls giggling like 10 year olds. Hospital Ding-Dong Ditch. Wrong? Maybe. Fun? Yes. Hilarious? Absolutely.<br />
My Mum was taking us home, when we stopped at a light. Along side us is a truck. Gage and I look over. We do the nod. The truck revs it's engine. Gage and I both turn to my mom exclaiming "GO GO GO GO GUN IT."  Mum was hesitant until Gage yelled "LIVE AGAIN!!!!!" Mum floored it. Beautiful.<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
Last night, I discovered laying in the middle of the road is more comfortable than my bed. <br />
Yesterday was just as crazy. Chilled with Gran.<br />
Awesome ninja adventures.<br />
<br />
------The asskickery just seems to keep on coming.------<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ These past couple of days have been pretty spiffy.<br />
Gran and I hung out last night and I got home at about 8 or 9 in the morning. <br />
We stayed up all night. So much fun. Around 5 AM... looking through the TV guide on his bed.. we both see "CHUCK NORRIS".<br />
Intrigued, we switched it to Cartoon Network. Holy crap. We laughed so hard.<br />
There was no suspense. Absolutely none. It was just Chuck Norris kicking ass. He even kicked ass in space. But... then again this is Norris we're talking about. <br />
Followed by Chuck Norris was Mr. T. <br />
By then, we were in tears.<br />
So much fun.<br />
<br />
Gran's place kicked ass.<br />
Gran kicks ass.<br />
<br />
Oh.. and he's hot as hell, too. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> ]]></description>

Not in a million years did I think this would happen.<br />
And... it's happened.<br />

In love. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":o" title=":o (Eek)" /> ]]></description>
