Life Update
Wow. It's been awhile - a year and a couple of months. Happy 2008!

So let's see where I am now.

I think I've changed a lot since I last wrote here. I'm seeing a shrink now, for one - though that could change, I'm thinking of just refusing to go soon. She's not helping at all, I feel more frustrated after I talk to her now. I'm supposed to go to stop my "violent thoughts" or "homicidal thoughts" or whatever it was she called them - so why is it that they're only really surfacing AFTER I start seeing the person who's supposed to stop them? If you ask me this little problem was caused by the people who were trying to "solve" it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, yeah?

I've stopped dying my hair so often - I think only maybe two or three times in the last year? Definitely less than I did in sixth and seventh... man, I hope I never start doing that again. I don't know what I was thinking. Dying my hair purple that one time was a DISASTER. XP I miss my hair being blonde. I might get it dyed back to its original color soon, I'm getting tired of being a brunette/redhead thing.

My social life has steadily been improving, I guess. I don't just sit around at home all the time now, though I do still spend a lot of time online. My relationship with my mom hasn't really improved - we're still at each others' throats all the time. My brother's still annoying but he has more "nice moments" than he used to. I think we're actually starting to get along like we did when we were younger.

I'm still a procrastinator, though. As we speak I've got a huge English assignment due in two days that I ought to have started at the beginning of break and a bunch of driver's ed tests that I meant to finish during the break looming. The sooner I get it done the better, but I just can't bring myself to do it. It's kinda... dull. I don't like dull.

I'm on the brink of a megahuge grounding if I don't bring my math grade up, but Mr. Talley or however you spell his name (is there even supposed to be an e in there?) is letting me turn in my assignments for full credit and is also letting me retake a test I bombed. He says I should definitely be able to bring it up before the semester grades come out. Now if I can just make sure my English grade doesn't drop, I'm set. I'll just have to work hard before the semester ends. Then once the new one starts I won't let myself get behind and I can coast like I usually do.

Still haven't seen much of Dad, but that could change. He was talking about having us come visit, maybe sometime during the summer. I think this summer's going to be a travelling one - we've also got plans to visit my aunt in Washington DC. We were going to do it during this break but it didn't really work out - my mom couldn't get enough time off. So we're either going to visit her for spring break or summer vacation. And when we go there, we're gonna go up to New York, too! It should be fun. Big cities are awesome and I've got a friend who's going to try to meet up with us there to show us around. Surprisingly, my mom's actually okay with this - she says she doesn't care as long as the friend shows us some good places to go shopping at! I guess that's good, but she better not make us go bankrupt. @__@

I'm going to go to AX during the summer, too. Even if I have to walk down there! I'm probably going to cosplay Anna again, and definitely Kagome so Tohru and I can do the Koga thing we planned to do last summer. XD

Aya and I are going to do a Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni fandub once I stop procrastinating on getting the audition thread set up, and I'm going to do a Disgaea fandub for mixing practice. :3 I've tried out for a few (more like two) productions, but I don't think I'm going to get a part. That's actually good, because that way I won't be able to let anyone down if I get grounded. Producing a fandub will be easier to pass off as a school project, and so long as I don't spend too much time uploading things it'll be harder to get caught.

There's other stuff too, but I'm taking too much time - we're gonna go up to dinner soon, and one of my grandma's friends made something for dessert. So I guess I'm going to wrap this up. Later, myotaku! Expect to see a lot more of me after this. :3
