Better now
Hello, my friends. How are you all doing this fine Thursday night? I know I’ve been away and I know I haven’t been to any sites lately but that will change. Whoever updates tonight and tomorrow, I’ll most likely get to your site. If you have recently signed my Guestbook, then I’ll get to you today and tomorrow as well.
For starters, my family is getting along better with my parents not fighting anymore. My older brother has until Sunday to find a job or he is outta here. So things are going a bit more smoothly. Thanks for the comments and concern lordsesshomaru and bebopinutrigun188. I appreciate it a lot.
This Saturday is our families 3rd Annual 4th of July Party and the only reason we are having it on the 30th is because the 4th of July is one a week day. Lol So we decided to have it a little early. So far we have around 30 friends and family showing up. We’ll be doing sparklers and fireworks later on in the evening. We’re going to best the neighbors again. It’s like a competition on who can shoot off the best fireworks were I live. My family and our neighbors (combined) have won two years in a row. I can’t wait for this year! We have somewhere around $10,000 worth of fireworks thanks to my neighbors! Woot! These ones go boom!
Other News
I have realized that none of you know me that well and that’s like living a life of solitude. So, I’ve decided to start a My Thought of the Day category to go along with all of the other goodies that can be found on my page. I’ll start it next post because I want all of you to ask me some questions or give me something to talk about because at the moment, I have nothing to say. That’s all I have to say.
Word of the Day:querulous [KWER-ah-lahs, KWER-yah-lahs] (adjective)

out of control
I haven’t updated my life in Gods know how long. Sorry about that, I’ve been lazy. That and a little busy.
Unfortunately, my life is spiraling out of control. Well, sort of. See, my parents are once again, for the umpteenth time, fighting. And once again, they are blaming they’re problems on one of us kids. This time, thank god, it’s my oldest brother.
He recently moved back home and is currently doing absolutely nothing and mooching off my parents, which in turn, is technically mooching off me and my younger brother. He sits around, does nothing around the house, eats, sleeps, and plays videogames all damn day long and it’s really pissing my parents off. They have had enough. However, they seem to be fighting the wrong persons, they’re fighting each other. I am faced with divorcing parents…. Again. Seriously!
Then! Then my parents have the nerve to yell at me because frankly, I can’t bring myself to give a god damn about them and their marriage. All they do is argue and beat on one another until one of them goes storming off into the night. Yeah, brilliant idea. I hope one of them hits a fucking lamp post at high speeds. That’ll teach ‘em.
Well, you all know this song so I don’t have to sing it for you. Though for once I wish I wasn’t singing the same damn tune over and over again.

Quote of the Day: “Nearly all marriages, even happy ones, are mistakes: in the sense that almost certainly (in a more perfect world, or even with a little more care in this very imperfect one) both partners might be found more suitable mates.

OMG I'm Back!
Well, it's been another long while since I've last updated and I have to say that I really have to stop doing this.... lol
My life hasn't changed much since I've been away wasting my life. lol Not really, just been busy with school work and all. Well, this week hasn't been very kind with me. I've had test and quizzes up the yin-yang and I'm exteremely exhausted mentally. I think I used up all my brain power that's left.
School for me ends in nine days.... two weeks.... whatever. I pretty sure I don't have to take any final exams because I've only been absent for two days out of the whole year (the school allows you to miss 5 with excuse, otherwise no exemption). I have higher than and 85, 'B', in all my classes, hopefully, not completely sure about chemistry (any lower than an 85 and you have to take the final exam). Finally, I haven't been late to any of my classes as of yet. Sweet! So as far as rules go, I'm gettin' exempt from exams. Hopefully.... Damn you Chemistry!
Anyway, how do you all like my new avi and background. I had a few issues in finding one that worked but now I finally have a good bg.
Well, l8ter!

Hey ya'll!
Wow… It’s been a long time since I have last visited anyone’s site or updated. I’m so sorry for not doing so. I know I missed out on a lot….. Having no life due to school sucks.
Anyway, I’m going to try and make this entry short because even though a lot has happen since I last updated, I won’t report it all to you, only today.
Well, I had to get up at 6:00 in the morning today because I had a regional’s competition for Theater today. It started officially at 9:00 in the morning and ended at 5 in the evening. Frankly, I just got home. It really sucked, it was long, I was tired, and the day seemed to last forever. The only plus was that I got to hang out with my friends, something I don’t get to do on the weekends.
Well, our play The Complete History of America (Abridged) did fairly well against the other competition. However, we were sabotaged by another school who has hated my school’s guts for as long as I can remember. In the play there was suppose to be a part where one of the actors played a guitar and we had to use an amp for everyone to hear in the house. Well, it turns out that one of the schools jammed sewing needles into the plugs for the guitar to connect to the amp. They shoved them so far down it was impossible to get out. If you tried to use it, it would have short circuited as soon as you plugged it in. It really pissed us off. They even ripped some of are costumes for the play and stole parts of our plays. They wanted to make sure we didn’t go to state’s competition. Well, needless to say that our play still went on and though we don’t get to go to state’s for our play, a lot of the students are going to state’s for their tech project, project that have something to due with theater.
I am now more determined than ever to beat their asses in states because I got second place in regionals today for novice publicity. Well, I’m going to revamp my tech project and wipe the floor with them. It’s going to be so much fun getting our revenge because half of our theatre class is going to be ay state’s and there are 40 plus in our class.
Anyway, that’s about all. I love ya’s and have a wonderful weekend.

March 7
Hello to all of you! It has been a while, once again, since I have updated this place and I’m sorry about that. I’ve been busy.
Well, to start off, I had to get new glasses because the ones I wear broke. My mother was beyond pissed at me because earlier that day, I had gotten in trouble at school. I had yelled at my Spanish teacher because she said that I didn’t do this one quiz, which I did do it, and that I have a 68 in that class. I was just a little upset because I tried to tell her that I had taken the test and that she had lost it, again. She said that I would have to make it up for half credit even if I got another 100%. She kicked me out of the class when I said, “Well, maybe you should stop losing my shit.” Yeah, not the smartest thing to say to a teacher but I was angry and didn’t care at that point.
Other than that I haven’t done much besides go shopping for my tech project supplies. I got everything I need except for a few things on my list that my mom and I are going to get this weekend.
I have been busy with our new play that we’re doing. It’s the entire American history for the 1400’s all the way to 2000 in just 45 minutes. It’s a comedy and a very good one at that. It’s going to be a break from the serious and emotional plays that we normally do and that’s going to be good for all of us, actors and directors. Anyway, I can’t wait because we’re taking this play all the way to State’s Competition. Hopefully we can go to National’s because we were banded from it for awhile because of another group of student got out theatre department in trouble.
Well, that’s all I’m going to say for now.

It's been some time, hasn't it?
Well, it certainly has been a while since I last updated my site. Not much has happened while I was away but it wasn’t boring at all. I know that it is a long post and whether or not you read it is okay with me. You can read bits and pieces it you’d like.
Our Theatre team finally finished the production of Laramie Project. When doing the show it was kind of hectic because everyone was running around, trying to get to their places and making sure they made their moments. It was tough but we all managed to do it and not one of us had a major screw up. We did have some issues with the projections on the back screen on our first night of the play. They showed up when they weren’t supposed to but we were right on the ball had had that ready for the show the following night. Overall, we did alright and that’s all that matters.
Saturday, my family and I went to watch my cousin participate in a beauty pageant for Maryland. She was competing for Miss Western Maryland. They got some kind of scholar ship money for winning; don’t know exactly what it was, however. My cousin did very well. Her talent was a dance, which she had been doing for all her life, and her platform was child obesity. A girl in the pageant even sang opera and that was a real treat because she did extremely well. However, my cousin didn’t win the title of Miss Western Maryland. We’re all proud of her, though because she did very well and she was beautiful that night. Two sisters and some other girl won the pageant, each for different titles.
I went to the mall yesterday and I was able to get two new mangas. I got Angel Sanctuary volume 17 and volume 18. Can anyone tell me how many volumes there are in that series???? Anyway, I also ordered FAKE volume 3 and volume 4.
Well, that’s about it. Thanks for reading.

A random post!
Well, how are things with everyone? I hope you all are doing well and are staying out of the cold whether.
Well, there isn’t really anything to report to everyone. I’ve been busy with rehearsals after school for Laramie Project! The rehearsals last from 3 to 6 so I don’t get to leave the school. My mom and dad work and school gets out at 2:48 so I really don’t have time to come home.
Other than that, I don’t have anything report…. WAIT! I do… THANK YOU ALL FOR THE 1,000+ HITS! YOU ALL HAVE BEEN SO KIND TO ME! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Today I just got my 1,001 hit and I’m so proud of myself… I really wish I could see what rank I am. Oh well….

Your spirit is darker and missunderstood.You are a person who has been hurt through out your life, and shows in your spirit. You feel like giving up because so far nothing has gone right, when in reality...if its bad its not over. You dont know why or how you got this way, but you dont know how to get out of it anymore. Its like a hole that gets deeper with every smile you fake. No one seems to understand, let alone care...when no one can if they dont know. You feel guilty when you feel happy, and when you feel sad because you know there are people out there who have it worse. You ignore your problems and then beat yourself up for doing so. Fighting your nature has always been hard, and you havent succeeded at it yet. Life seems predictible and problematic, when in a sense it it...but there is so much more you could be doing. Rough times, we all go through them...but its not the people who dont have them that are the strong ones, its the people that stand up and move on that really are the strongest of us all.Your spirit is lost, but everyone has talents, yours are just below the surface.Color: BlackWhat you are made of: DarknessAnimal: RavenThanks for taking my quiz, taking that one little step is all it takes!

A LONG rant...... just read
Things here…. Well…. To be honest, there not doing so well. Everything is, you know, falling apart. It’s like the whole world is crashing down on my shoulders…. Well, not that bad but you get the idea. I just… I don’t understand why things are the way they are. At the rate it’s going, someone is going to seriously get hurt during this whole ordeal. Who it is, I don’t know. Maybe I should recap some….
On Wednesday night, I don’t know; say around 8 or 9 o-clocks at night. My mother and father stepped out into the garage and I don’t know what really happened next, but I heard a loud bang. You know, BANG! Then I hear my mom scream ”Stop it! Stop! Stop it!” continuously. The only thing running through my mind is, ’Here we go again.’ I walk outside and find the trash can on the ground in piece and my mother has tears streaming down her eyes…. Well, things got ugly from there. Let’s just say that we now have a new hole in the wall and a door hanging from one hinge with broken hanger on the ground…. Nice…. Anyway, my mom left for an hour or so and then came back threw her keys at that bastard and then went into her room… Didn’t see her from the rest of the evening…. Well, Dave (my father) now sleeps in the guest bedroom and I could really care less. So yeah…. Sounds fun, huh? I had to play referee during the whole ordeal.
Well, after the fight, I had asked Dave if he need any help in cleaning up and this is what he told me, honest to god it’s the truth, ”No, I don’t need any help….. You know what, we were fighting about you. You’re lazy and you don’t do anything and your mom got all defensive when I said this. Your brother does more than you…….” It was silence after that…. My answer was, ”Thank you….. I try….. Bye.” When I got to the bottom of the stairs, my dad yells, ”Thanks for the help!” sarcastically and I replied with, ”You said you didn’t need any.” I went about my business and completely ignored the bastard from there on end….
Anyway, it’s no surprise that they were fighting about me… Dave always finds a way to put the blame on me. I always do something wrong to piss him off, what I do is beyond me. I’m too lazy, too moody, too sarcastic, too fat, too something and it apparently pisses him off. Bastard! who the hell does he think he is? King of the World? The bastard hasn’t done anything productive in the last month besides tear up the house and put a dint in my mother’s car…. Way to go, bastard! Want a fucking medal for your effort?
I swear I hate the guy. Ever since I was little, I was always put down by him because I always got into trouble. I always got suspended from school or had the police called on me…. Well, no one is fucking perfect. He would pick me up from school and when we got home, he’d hit me with the belt and call me names and say I was a failure. He would never ask why I got into trouble or what was going on… He just assumed…. That’s all he’s ever good at… assuming things.
Like our predicament. We’re short on cash because my mother’s boss died and she’s been unemployment for a month or two now. He blames all of our financial stuff on her, like it’s her fault her boss died. But he forgets that he is the one who lost all of our money, our savings that we were going to use on the patio and to pay off bills, in the stock market, even though he promised my mother that he wouldn’t put it there. He doesn’t blame himself that he lost nearly 20,000 dollars in the fucking stock market….. That’s a lot of money…..
Anyway, I’m just sick of him putting us all down. It isn’t the men in the family that he puts down, oh no, it’s the women. Like we’re worthless or something likes that. I’m too lazy and my mother is stupid, or so he says…. I’m tired, alright. Just flat out tired of being treated as if I don’t exist, you know. I hate feeling so worthless and I hate feeling so empty… so numb. It’s beginning to get to me. I try to stay strong, really I do, but sometimes I wish I could just throw myself in traffic or something like that. I know my mom feels the same.
Anyway, that has been my shitty week. I’m sorry if I sound dramatic or whiny or whatever. I know everyone has their set of problems…. Anyway, if you read this whole entry, then thanks for being there and listening… well, reading, but same thing. I just had to get it off my chest…. You know. Well, later….

Quote of the Day: “Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional.” –Unknown
A Whatever kind of day!
Hello friends of all ages! How are you all doing? I hope you all are enjoying the week.
Well, it's 2:25 pm and I am completely bored. I'm not in school at the moment because I don't have to be. YAY! Here's the deal, this week is exam week and I am exempt from all exams.
In order to do this, you must have:
-Less than 5 excused absences
-No unexcused absences
-An 85 percent overall in said classroom (a 'B')
-No referrals what-so-ever(getting into trouble and what not)
-No more than 6 tardies to a class
Do you have any idea how hard it was not to be late to any class when you have over 2,000 students roaming your halls and only 4 minutes to get to class... Not easy. But, somehow, I managed it and now I don't have to go to school for the rest of the week. I even get Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday off... Don't know if many schools do that? So, overall, I get an extra week off from school which is much need and thanked.
Anyway, I hope you all are doing well in school. If your taking an exam, I send you the best of luck and I'm sure that you'll do fine.
Well, that's all I really have to say for now.
