Christmas Highlights...

(A thousand piece puzzle we started a few days ago and just finished today)

-Flying down to visit my Dad, sister, and Grandma and Aunts for Christmas.

-Trying to teach my aunt and grandma to play Medal of Honor, my stomach began to hurt I was laughing so hard...

-I saw the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a fantastic movie everyone should go see, absolutely adorable.

-Setting up my Grandma's Christmas tree(which will probably stay up till April)

Things to Look Forward to...

-My mom might come down and hopefully I'll get to see her side of the family as well.

-I might get to go skiing for New Years. (which for some odd reason I'm not looking forward to too much, not sure why, but my Dad and Sister really want to go.

-I still have presents to open when I go back

-I don't have finals until three weeks after I go back to school

Well I hope everyone is having a good Christmas as well. :)

Thanksgiving. :)


If I get my hands on mother nature, I'll strangle her.

The one day I walk out of the house without a jacket, and she decides to make it pour. I was freezing all day. Thanks a lot Mother Nature.
So now that I've done my bit of griping, here's something else;
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
I love this holiday, it really is more than just a sit down dinner. It's a chance to see family, and really be thankful. Instead of just getting and wanting more, we're remembering how lucky we are for the things we already have.
I find it irritating that people here, treat Black Friday like the holiday, than they do thanksgiving. At least around here they do, I wish I was going back to my hometown, most teens didn't even know what Black Friday was. They actually looked forward to spending times with their families on Thanksgiving day. I miss that.
Anyways, have a great Thanksgiving Day. :0

Women.

Women are crazy. period.
And this is the precise reason I don't want to grow up. I've known this since I was four. And my mother as well as the rest of my family, prove this right all the time. I mean sure we're smart, and beautiful, and can do a lot.
But a pissed off women can be one of the scariest things on earth.

It's like adding anger management students to psychos.

When I say women can be anything and everything, I mean it. That includes the good and the bad. How do I know this? Well simple; a) at least 95% of my family are females and b) I'm becoming a women. (And let me tell you it's no easy task staying level headed, these hormones are like moody drugs)
There are many times that I stop and wonder how most guys survive their wives, daughters, girlfriends, sisters..etc. We're a lot to handle (my mother's and sister's 40 min. rants during which, she becomes deaf and unreasonable, prove me right).
Like the saying goes...
hell hath no fury like a women's scorn

...


Obama won. America, now has a black president. Wow. This is awesome. I still haven't quiet wrapped my mind around this. And I just got over my speechlessness. Again, Wow.
Everybody, if we thought things were changing fast, I get the feeling it's going to get a whole lot faster.
Get ready everybody.
People are ready for change.
And we're going to get it.
~~~
Ok, now coming back down to earth for a moment (at least as close to it as I can). What I find a little funny, is the fact that no matter how much the world may change, life goes on...
Change is here everyone, I hope we're all ready. ;)

Everthing seems a little surreal today. A little pain wouldn't go amiss. However, I fear that would seem a bit surreal as well.

The fog is lifting...


I- I'm kind of confused about some of my views right now. Especially religion. But I think...I think I'm starting to find my way again, things are becoming clear again. Things are becoming simple again.
...and the fog in my mind is starting to lift.

Decided

I've decided I'm going to check all the blogs I follow, on the weekends only. It's ridiculous, to get on my computer every day, it's about time I step out into a world that is a little more substantial. I'll blog when I feel the need to, and I promise I won't let my blog die out, but I'm not going to do this everyday anymore. L8r.

Music Mood


Music is one of the few things that reaches us in our black moods.

Out of Reach

When we're to far out of reach for everyone else, the only thing we can do, is come back down ourselves.

Generation Remake


Can't my generation come up with anything original? It's like everywhere I turn we've only tweaked older things and put a price tag on it. Maybe I'm just writing this because I'm tired and most likely cranky, I mean there's other ways to put it. We aim for improving, We know how to put our own spin on things, or something along those lines. Yeah...Well night, maybe I'll see things clearer or at least better in the morning. L8r.

Another year gone...

School week, finally done.


Well, first weeks gone by fast. It wasn't too bad either. First day was annoying, but the rest of the week was ok. School is really going to get kicked into gear next week, but I'll deal with that when it comes. Teachers are ok, some are funny, others are nice, and two seem like the don't know what their doing, but otherwise ok. Still haven't made any friends, which makes break and lunch kind of awkward, but whatever. Some of my classmates are nice though. The campus is strange, it's laid out like a collage, cause it originally was going to be one but for whatever reason they changed their mind, and now it's a high school. Their are pretty much no hallways inside, which will make it annoying in the raining months, but on the plus side the campus has a lot of trees. I'm managing and looking forward to the weekend. Well, L8r. :)

Weekend without an End.


That's what this pass week has felt like.

Between my great grandma's funeral, visiting with family, getting sick, preparing for school, and dealing with a massive headache that lasted for two days straight(which just ended yestereday), yeah things have been a little crazy.

And it's not even over.

For the next three days I'm going to be tossed between Aunts in the cold and windy city of san fran. Then I start highschool monday.

Hmm...well it's been fun so far and it's always fun when I'm with my two favorite Aunts, so wish me luck. And then comes high school, and yeah with that we'll just have to see. Well L8r.

Difference.


I know the difference between fantasy and reality.

Fantasy can be anything. A dream or a nightmare. It can defy every law, spun into existence in an instant. Told, and read, and written, dreamed and woven and watched. It is formed by thought. The most unlimited thing there is. Fantasy can be anything and everything, it can have all, nothing, or just some. Fantasy is fiction. There is no boundary to its reach.

Reality has no backround music. It's not something we can run or hide from. Nor something we have entire control of. It's not our posession, not something in which we have reign. It can't be picked back up or dropped off when ever we wish. We have no choice of being apart of reality. We exist in it no matter what. It has no end. Though it is built off them, as well as beginings and limitations. Reality is fact. With only one way to take in.

Reality is lived.

Fantasy is not.
I know this.
It just hasn't sunk in to my subconscious yet.

I hate politics. There are too many double edge swords. I just don't know who or what to believe.

3 Jokes/Stories


WARNING: These are on the racy side. Also has some cuss words


I found these on comedy central and decided to share them.

P.S. Take the warning seriously.

Joke 1; The Most Gruesome Death


There was a long, long line of spirits at the gate waiting to get into heaven. Not all these spirits could fit into heaven, so the ones who died the worst death would be allowed in. The first man in line started telling his story, "Well, Peter, you see, I knew that my wife was cheating on me so I decided to come home early from work one day to catch them in action. I got home and searched all over but I couldn''t find him. Then when I walked out onto the balcony, there he was dangling off the darn thing by his fingertips. So I ran and got a hammer then started beating him with it and he fell. Well, the fall didn't kill him, because he landed in a bush so I picked up the refrigerator and threw it on him. Although that killed him, the strain gave me a heart attack, and here I am." The next man came up and started his story. "St. Peter, I always work out on my balcony on the 14th floor of my apartment building. I was on my bike one day and I fell off when it flipped. I sailed over the rail and I thought ''Please God spare my life'' and he did. I caught on to a balcony below me. I was even happier when a man discovered me hanging there. But all of a sudden he started beating my hands with a hammer so I fell again. But the dear Lord saved me again when I landed in a bush. But I''m here now because the guy threw his refrigerator on top of me." It was now the third guy's turn to start his story. "Well, Peter, just picture this. I'm hiding butt naked in this married chick''s refrigerator....."


Joke 2; Computer Diagnosis


One day Bill complained to his friend that his elbow really hurt. His friend suggested that he go to a computer at the drug store that can diagnose anything quicker and cheaper than a doctor.
''Simply put in a sample of your urine and the computer will diagnose your problem and tell you what you can do about it. It only costs $10." Bill figured he had nothing to lose, so he filled a jar with a urine sample and went to the drug store. Finding the computer, he poured in the sample and deposited the $10. The computer started making some noise and various lights started flashing. After a brief pause out popped a small slip of paper on which was printed: "You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water. Avoid heavy lifting. It will be better in two weeks."
Later that evening while thinking how amazing this new technology was and how it would change medical science forever, he began to wonder if this machine could be fooled. He mixed together some tap water, a stool sample from his dog and urine samples from his wife and daughter. To top it off, he masturbated into the concoction. He went back to the drug store, located the machine, poured in the sample and deposited the $10. The computer again made the usual noise and printed out the following message:
"Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. Your dog has worms. Get him vitamins. Your daughter is using cocaine. Put her in a rehabilitation clinic. Your wife is pregnant with twin girls. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer. And if you don't stop jerking off, your tennis elbow will never get better."


Joke 3; The Jackass Story


This Story is true!!! For all of you who occasionally have a really bad day when you just need to take it out on someone: Don't take that bad day out on someone you know, take it out on someone you *don't* know! Now get this.
I was sitting at my desk, when I remembered a phone call I had to make. I found the number and dialed it.
A man answered nicely saying, ''Hello?' '
I politely said, ''This is Patrick Hanifin and could I please speak to Robin Carter?''
Suddenly the phone was slammed down on me! I couldn't believe that anyone could be that rude. I tracked down Robin's correct number and called her. She had transposed the last two digits incorrectly. After I hung up with Robin, I spotted the wrong number still lying there on my desk. I decided to call it again.
When the same person once more answered, I yelled, ''You're a jackass!'' and hung up.
Next to his phone number I wrote the word ''jackass,'' and put it in my desk drawer.
Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills, or had a really bad day, I'd call him up.
He'd answer, and I'd yell, ''You're a jackass!''
It would always cheer me up.
Later in the year the Phone Company introduced caller ID. This was a real disappointment for me, I would have to stop calling the jackass. Then one day I had an idea.
I dialed his number, then heard his voice say, ''Hello.'' I made up a name. ''Hi. This is the sales office of the Telephone Company and I'm just calling to see if you're familiar with our caller ID program?''
He went, ''No!'' and slammed the phone down.
I quickly called him back and said, ''That's because you're a jackass!''
The reason I took the time to tell you this story, is to show you how if there's ever anything really bothering you, you can do something about it. Just dial 823-4863.
The old lady at the mall really took her time pulling out of the parking space. I didn't think she was ever going to leave. Finally, her car began to move and she started to very slowly back out of the slot. I backed up a little more to give her plenty of room to pull out. " Great," I thought, she's finally leaving. All of a sudden this black Camaro comes flying up the parking isle in the wrong direction and pulls into her space.
I started honking my horn and yelling, ''You can't just do that, Buddy. I was here first!'' The guy climbed out of his Camaro completely ignoring me. He walked toward the mall as if he didn't even hear me. I thought to myself, "This guy's a jackass. There sure a lot of jackasses in this world."
I noticed he had a ''For Sale'' sign in the back window of his car. I wrote down the number. Then I hunted for another place to park.
A couple of days later, I'm at home sitting at my desk. I had just gotten off the phone after calling 823-4863 and yelling, ''You're a jackass!'' (It's really easy to call him now since I have his number on speed dial.) I noticed the phone number of the guy with the black Camaro lying on my desk and thought I'd better call this guy, too.
After a couple rings someone answered the phone and said, ''Hello.''
I said, ''Is this the man with the black Camaro for sale?'' ''Yes, it is.''
''Can you tell me where I can see it?''
''Yes, I live at 1802 West 34th street. It's a yellow house and the car's parked right out front.''
I said, ''What's your name?''
''My name is Don Hansen.''
''When's a good time to catch you, Don?''
''I'm home in the evenings.''
''Listen Don, can I tell you something?''
''Yes.''
''Don, you're a jackass!'' And I slammed the phone down.
After I hung up I added Don Hansen's number to my speed dialer. For a while things seemed to be going better for me. Now when I had a problem I had two jackasses to call. Then, after several months of calling the jackasses and hanging up on them, it just wasn't as enjoyable as it used to be. I gave the problem some serious thought and came up with a solution:
First, I had my phone dial Jackass #1. A man answered nicely saying, ''Hello.''
I yelled ''You're a jackass!'' but I didn't hang up.
The jackass said, ''Are you still there?''
I said, ''Yeah.''
He said, ''Stop calling me.''
I said, ''No.''
He said, ''What's you name, pal?''
I said, ''Don Hansen.''
He said, ''Where do you live?''
''1802 West 34th Street. It's a yellow house and my black Camaro's parked out front.''
''I'm coming over right now, Don. You'd better start saying your prayers.''
''Yeah, like I'm really scared, Jackass!'' and I hung up.
Then I called Jackass #2. He answered, ''Hello.''
I said, ''Hello, Jackass!''
He said, ''If I ever find out who you are...''
''You'll what?''
''I'll kick your butt.''
''Well, here's your chance. I'm coming over right now Jackass!'' And I hung up.
Then I picked up the phone and called the police. I told them I was at 1802 West 34th Street and that I was going to kill my gay lover as soon as he got home.
Another quick call to Channel 13 about the gang war going on down W. 34th Street.
After that, I climbed into my car and headed over to 34th Street to watch the whole thing. Glorious watching two Jackasses kicking the crap out of each other in front of six squad cars and a police helicopter was one of the greatest experiences of my life!

Name withheld to protect the guilty.

Two new Tid bits...at least to me.



I learned two things in the last three minutes that seem pretty cool, and kind of funny, at least to me.

A. There are currently five puppies in the world who were cloned from the same dead dog, whose owner sold her house and payed $50,000 to have cloned. Don't believe me check it out;


B. In the scond book of Max Ride, at the end of chapter 100, Max tells about Angel talking to fish before they even find out. I know because 3 chapters over Angel announces she can talk to fish at the very end of chapter 104, then it goes on to explain it in chapter 105. Funny huh.

Mutual Phrase.


This is Killing Me.
That phrase fits to well lately.
And not just me.


Too much Too Fast = a lot of growing pains, misdirections, confusion, and some tears.

Change has a funny way of changing pace on you without warning.

AF6 and DX Reviews.


Well I just finished reading Artemis Fowl 6 and Daniel X...kinda.

Warning: Spoilers Ahead!!!

Artemis Fowl was excellent like always, Mr. Colfer didn't let me down, another wonderful addition to the series. Though I must admit the attraction between Holly Short and Artemis kind of threw me off. However the improved Artemis had more heart and a little more regular teen aspects to him without losing any of the charm or intelligence.


As for Daniel X...well, honestly it's a bit of a disappointment. I have only gotten to chapter 11 and from what I've read so far, I don't think I want to continue at all. I don't know if it was just too corny or choppy or what but it just doesn't work. I know the genre is fantasy/sci fi but, Daniel is just not a believeable character, it just wasn't realsitic in a way. If it was turned into a comic book or a movie, then maybe, MAYBE it could work well. The idea has so much potential but it was almost butchered I don't want to believe that James Patterson wrote this, especially after reading Max Ride. Well I'm going to try and finish this book (If I don't throw it on the ground from exasperation to often) and hopefully I won't be as disappointed as I am right now. L8r.

Another Strange day...with a silver lining.


I'm having another one of those weird days, when my heads in the clouds and I can't seem to come back down to earth. I'm just so out of it, my mind is in total disarray. I feel so frustrated, because I have a hundred ideas darting through my mind and I can't seem to write any of them down. Not to mention all my fragmented thoughts that make no sense whatsoever.
Good News is I got two new books yesterday:
Artemis Fowl 6; The Time Paradox

and

The Dangerous Days of Daniel X.

Well got to go L8r.

Long story short...I hate shots.

Death Note.



So I just finished watching the anime series, Death Note.

It was...interesting, to say the least. It was definitely unique, the plot was like none I had ever come across. I enjoyed watching it even though I thought it to be on the pyschotic side. Well L8r.

In my hands.


Last year, I got the stupid notion into my head that my parents had no control over me. I knew it wasn't true and quickly got rid of the bad epiphany. However, it is turning out to be true, and my parents are starting to catch on. Just the other day, my Dad quite plainly told me he didn't know what to do with me, had no control over me and that if I wanted to continue visiting and being his daughter I had to get my act together and shape up. And this past year my mother has been saying they same thing.

They don't know what to do with me.

They know it and so do I.

Their punishments aren't working and I have trouble taking them seriously. There are no incentives they can use, and no material thing I have that they can take away, and I have things set up in a way, that the things I want the most are also necessities. I've done it, I've finally gotten around all their rules.

They know it and so do I.

But now that means I have to be my own boundary, something I'm not very good at.
Their leaving the big choices up to me. I quite literally have the choice and power to direct my own life now. I don't know if I'm ready. I'm not free. I just have more responsiblity. Now the consequences of my own decisions, are going to fall on my head.

They know it, and I'm starting to catch on.
The world is drawing ever near, and I'm not sure if I'm ready.

I like the rain. Especially in the summer.

Good Mood.


I am in a very good mood, and I have no idea why. In fact I have no reason to be in a good mood, at least not according to my parents and the rest of the world. Why? Because I have gotten absoluely nothing done today. Yet I'm in a good mood, it's most likely due to the fact that my moods and feelings aren't usually directed by outside influences. My heart marches to its own beat and changes for no one and nothing. To the great irritation of myself and my mind. Well I going to go do as much work as possible, because I'm in a working mood as well. L8r.

Break


Do I look like a scratching post to my family? Everytime one of them is under a lot of pressure they either lash out at me or tell me all their problems. It's one thing for my little sister to do it, it's entirely different when my parents do it as well. I'm always the damn punching bag (not pyhsically), or the shoulder to cry on, or the ear they whine to, yet asking to be even listened to for just five minutes, seems to hard for them to understand!

*sigh* I am so sick of family right now. I love them but right now...I need a break.

Thursday, July 3, 2008

The 4th and Reunions.


Family Reunions are NUTZ!!! Especially with big families. There was quite possibly 150-200 people or more, tonight alone. And this is only my grandma's side of the family. All sides of my family is big. I honestly don't even know a quater of my family's names. And there's still another day of gathering. *sigh*, on top of that I'm still in school. Yeah this week is just great. Wish me Luck. Oh and just in case I don't get on tomorrow, HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY. Hope everyone has a good Independence day. L8r.

Being Alone is no fun.


Being lonely is even worse.


Almost every day out of this year I have been alone at least one to four hours a day, stuck inside the house for months at a time. With no friends to call, only family to talk to (I don't because they never listen), and these blogs.


Thanks everyone for reading my blogs, this year they have been my only connection to sanity.

Lesson from car washing.

Today I learned that 14 yr. girls DO NOT belong on the roofs of cars, even if they are just trying to wash the roof of the car.

Sad Days...


6 things about Manic Depression;

1: your laughing and joking one day, the next you won't even talk to your family.

2: there's no warning


3: The lows and highs can last a few days to a few months.


4: It effects everyone who cares about you.


5: It's really really hard to break some one out of their bad mood.


6: It's even harder to have more than one family member who has it.



I hate when we have days like this...I forgot what it's like to live with a person with mood swings like this.


I'm begenning to dread the family reunion coming up, to many relatives, with it, staying with us for who knows how long...L8r.

Upside Down Stranger.


Every now and then a stranger comes into our life and turns everything upside down, then disappears. Sometimes it's a good thing. Because though their not always meant to stay, they can do what we can not, see with a different view.

Update.


My sister is seeming more and more bipolar everyday (though she's not). My dad has seemed to forgotten the last 3 years when he was trying to improve himself and control his anger. My mother has given up the idea of independence, and has be come very mellow and the good natured mother I never had to my stepsibs. My grandma is as grouchy and hard of hearing as ever. And the highlight of my night was making patterns while I washed the dishes oh and finishing two books. Life's just great these days. (note the sarcasm) L8r I've got to go get ready for yet another day in front of the computer screen.
P.S. Sorry about the whining.

Monday, June 23, 2008

Whatever.


Tired. Weary. Drained. Beat. Fatigued. Worn-out.


Take your pick, it doesn't matter which they all fit me perfectly lately.

But that fact doesn't matter either, it never has with my family. The example and one of the many unspoken mottos is push it aside and keep pushing. And my sister and I have had it successfully drilled into our subconcious, whether any of us knew it or not. Sure it has it's ups and downs, up would be; sleep deprivation, hunger, stress, and worry as well as other things, don't usually get in our way. Unless their severe of course.

Down side, we push ourselves so far that when we finally complete whatever we were striving for, we don't feel happy we feel relieved. And our health is never all that great.

I don't know why I'm moaning, I just started writing and this is what came out.

Sorry everybody.

I wanted to talk about a bunch of other things, but like most things these days, I can't figure out how to get them from just thoughts to actually written or spoken words.

Well I got to go. I'm not really going to get a break from school work this year, so to everyone who is getting a break, enjoy. I got to get back to work so I can show something to my dad when he gets home. L8r.

All Day Bother.


Just the other day, I hopped on a plane and am now visiting family. But all day yesterday, and a good portion of today I've been, preocupied... with one question.




Is this really reality?




For some reason it really bothers me. And the answer to it is somewhat elusive and hazy. Well I'm tired and have to get up early tomorrow. L8r.

View on Fate.


I like to think that, when we enter our world, we all pull straws from the universes hands. Some get short ends, while others long. That is how we start life, coping with the fortune we got, but from there on, our choices rule our lives. Since we control the choices we make, we control what we become. We all travel down rocky paths, with fragile cliffs hanging just above our heads. Fate is just what we call the end results of how well we've worked with what fell in our paths.
Dying is inevitable, it will come.
But Fate is just a title, for the conclusion right before our end.
Preordained is something, fate is not.
...at least not in my eyes.

What I Thought but Didn't Say.


"Try to stay One step ahead of the game." -Dad.


That's what I'm trying to do.


"Just keep as many doors as you can open" -stepdad.


How? I can't even see them all.


"Work really hard now, so you can enjoy things later." -mom.


Like you do? Then'll I'll never get to enjoy anything.


"Aim for the Ideal; getting paid for what you love to do." -stepdad.


But how do I find what I love to do?


"Enjoy being a kid now, because you never get to be one again." -mom.


Then why do you scold me everytime I do so?


"Focus! Just get through it." -dad.


Easier said than done.


"Try your best, and give everything your all." -mom and dad.


Like you guys did? Should I burn out and fall apart the same way too?


"Learn from the past." -unknown.


I try to, but sometimes I get lost in what use to be, and forget to plan for what is going to be.

Just a few off the top of my head, but there are so many times I've kept my mouth shut that it's hard to remember them all.
