Ok... this time it has been forever since I posted... ^^'' sorry about that... and there is honestly nothing good going on in my life at the moment.. but I'll tell you this.... I swear... I'm probably going to kill this keyboard.

I can't believe I'm such a hypocrite! How I said I hated Photoshop... but now that I have it everything changes... but things like that always happen doesn't it? You hate something until you get it... hmm... you can't tell me that hasn't happened to you...nn

I've been messing around with my tarot cards... I still haven't the slightest idea how to read them... :gonk: *sighs* but I do hope to learn

Well... Like I said my life hasn't been doing good... In fact... I've been doing everything I always do... piss people off, but unfortunatly I can't help it if I act how I feel, and I'm not felling good. And I can't help it if I'm not feeling optumistic, no one can always be happy. That's what people don't understand about me. All my friends, or most of them at least, they think there is something wrong with me just because I'm not smiling, or just because I'm smiling I'm happy. They don't know that I can smile while going though hell. *sighs* Why do I get yelled for being 'negative' from someone who's always negative? And then she says she'll ignore me if I don't stop being 'negative'... but to be honest... that's not much coming from her... almost everyday she ignores me, even if she doesn't notice I do, and she does... so *shrugs* ... It's nothing that'll bother me too much...

Well enough of my complaining... here's a story I wrote for English class, it was for family feuds... maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't... doesn't matter to me 'cuz I already turned it in....

A Total Eclipes of the Heart

The nearly bare trees were dropping their last leaves of the year and the morning dew still clung to the grass. The gray size nine sneakers of a girl crushed some of the fallen leaves as she walked down the sidewalk. Risa was pretty tall for her age; she was 5’8” and she wasn’t even fifteen yet. Her brown hair was sloppily pulled back in a ponytail. She let out a yawn and groaned, “Why does school have to start so early?” Then she pulled her book bag back onto her shoulder because it was slowly falling off her back and she continued walking.

Risa stopped once she reached her bus stop. “Oh, it’s you again.” She scowled at the only other person there, a male just a little older and taller then her. He has short black hair and had his nose stuck in a book.

Ichiro looked up from his book. “Apparently since I need to go to school and this is the only way I can get there.” He muttered giving Risa a blank stare.

Risa Hitomi’s family and Ichiro Tanita’s family despised one another. Risa was told that her great-grandfather, who had died before she could remember him, unfortunately had his wife die, but it wasn’t a natural death. In the story, one of the Tanita’s killed her. Risa’s father said it was Ichiro’s crazy great-great-uncle. Ichiro had been told that the whole Hitomi family was crazy, paranoid and was jealous of their family, and they wanted to put the family into shame by having someone that lived with the family go to jail. When he was in court they said there wasn’t enough evidence to convict him of murder, and they only witness was too young to make a serious point so he was let free.

“So…How’s your family murderer doing?” Risa asked her normally smiling face was twisted into a smirk.
“One, he wasn’t a murderer, two he died a few years ago” Ichiro said looking down at his closed book.

Risa smiled, “One less thing we have to worry about.”
“…heartless…” was all Risa could make out of Ichiro’s mumbles.
“I’m not heartless!” She almost shouted at the boy. Those words started a few minutes of silence.

“Well, it did happen a while ago,” Ichiro said breaking the silence, “who’s to say if it really happened at all.”
“Huh?” Risa asked giving Ichiro a confused look.
“It happened anywhere from fifty to seventy years ago. How do we know if it really happened?”

“My father told me, and he knows his facts.”

“Yeah, but over the years how do you know some of those facts weren’t forgotten or changed?” Ichiro stared at Risa with his gray eyes. “I don’t even believe my father,” he continued, “Who’s to say that this isn’t over a stupid competition that one of our family member’s lost…?”

Risa was silent for a moment, than she smirked. “Oh, I see, you’re just trying to erase the past. Trying to make your family seem to be the perfect family, right?”

“No! I’m trying to say we shouldn’t carry on an ancient argument. I’m not trying to erase the past, because it is what it is and we can never change that, but that doesn’t mean we need to go with our parents and hate each other.”
“Feh, why should I believe you?”

“Because…” Ichiro’s face turned a bit red as he bit his bottom lip, “because… I, I think I’ve fallen in love with you.” With that, Risa’s face turned as red as Ichiro’s. While Risa was flabbergasted, Ichiro decided to use it for his advantage; he leaned towards her to kiss her.

Before Ichiro got his chance, Risa fell back to reality held out her hand and slapped him. “HOW DARE YOU?!? YOU THINK SAYING YOU LOVE ME IS GOING TO MAKE ME CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT YOU?!? Well, it’s not! I’ll never forgive you family!” Risa said in a huff. She stormed past him down the sidewalk muttering to herself, “If I start walking, I shouldn’t be too late.”
A couple of minutes after Risa left, the bus pulled up. As Ichiro stepped on the bus he had as smile on his face as he muttered, “Girls… I don’t think I’ll ever understand them…”

Well that's it for today... Later...
