I've been having a --really-- hard time lately. My grandmother is having health problems- serious ones. Think "brain cancer". I just got back from visiting my grandparents, and I had to miss two days of school. Yes, had to, not "was allowed to", or "could". Had to. I'm in advanced classes- for my grade, if not for my school as well. Missing two days of school means falling behind. I'll have to talk to friends to get notes from classes, and I'll have to work extra hard to catch up. I have 3 ceramic "vessels" due by the end of the week, and two extra days would have been really nice.

I'm pondering what school will be like tomorrow. Any mention of the kind of thing I'm dealing off might set off an emotional breakdown, since so much is bottled inside (much like a champagne bottle that's all shook up). All it takes is someone to pull out the cork, and look, we've got an explosion! Or more like a flood. I have to bite my tongue to keep from crying, and I have to scrunch my face, and close my eyes. This is on a current basis, at home, where its silent. I can't imagine the atmosphere at school. Hopefully, I can last the remaining 5 weeks of my freshman year of high school. I have 39 days, and 19 minutes remaining- and that's if I don't miss anymore. Which at this current moment is quite possible.

I learned in mid February that the cancer had moved to her brain. Three weeks ago, the cancer had gone from one to three/four tumors. She broke her arm because of cancer in the bone. She can't move around the house, she spends her days in a hospital bed in the dining room. She's bald- with a tiny bit of fuzz.

Yesterday, she pulled me close because she was apologizing for that fact that she will miss my high school graduation. I had to run from the room to keep from crying right there.

On Thursday, I was outside reading, when I knocked over my glass of water. It shattered.

That was the first time I had cried since mid February.

Now, it won't stop.

I've got a heck of a lot of school and other what-nots, so I seem to be on a hiatus. Sorry to Foxtrot-Wolfwhistle for taking so long on that desktop, the muse seems to have flown the coop. See y'all for thanksgiving break!

I'VE BEEN TAGGED! By my buddy, Kimyuie.

The Rules of this Tagging Game:

The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits/facts/dislikes about yourself" and people who get tagged must write in their journals about their 6 weird habits/facts/dislikes as well as state this rule clearly.

In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you're tagged" in their deviant page comments and tell them to read yours.


1) Fact: I had braces for two years, and they are gone now.
2) Habit: Chewing ice.
3) Dislike: preppy people who look down on you if you dont dress the way they do.
4) Dislike: retainers. the icky things.
5) Habit: Sleeping in to late.
6) Fact: Did I mention I got my braces off? AFTER TWO FREAKING YEARS!?! (I know people have them for longer. but think. Two years. Thats 730 days.)


I think I'll tag...

(I don't know how to do the little icon things...)

Maatie, Uberhyper, Kimyuie!, Zilo,
Jawsie-Doll, and since I can't think of anyone else, I'm only tagging 5. so sue me.

I want to knooow. Pleasy?

Anyway...random...facts...about...kiwis.

The fruit, that is.

Kiwi.

scientific name = Actinidia deliciosa, or Actinidiaceae (deliciosa...delicious?)

The kiwi is native to China, where it grew along the Yangtze River. (Northern China)

Kiwis need a looong growing season. Which is at least 240 frost free days.

Kiwis grow on TREES. Like most fruit.

Kiwis like sun.


Kiwis are YUMMY.

Mhmm.

I'm done.









LLAMA!

Memory-
Oh can you keep me safe?
From this thing I can’t escape?
It haunts me,
It taunts me,
With happenings from the past.

Oh can you keep me safe?
From this thing I can’t escape?
The memories won’t leave,
The sound echoes forever in my head.
Of my brother’s last breath.

Please save me,
Pull me in tight,
I can’t get away,
Away from that night.

You ask if what you can do,
But I realize there is nothing.
Cause that night will keep on coming.

So leave me to my insanity,
To my escape from my memory.
Leave me be, mister.
Cause I ain’t no helpless femme.
I’ll make it through somehow,
Just let me make my way.
Away from the memory.
Of the night I killed my brother.
