          I now firmly believe I'm the only person who writes in here anymore. Regardless, I'm going to write. Of course its just past 2a.m. and anyone in their right mind is sleeping, I feel like I'm getting less and less sleep these days. Its getting old fast. 
          I started a count down about a week back until my summer vacation really started and then realized it was completely pointless. I'll be working in the high school office all summer, Monday through Thrusdays 8am to 3pm. lol. So my count down is a bit longer. June 19th I'm flying out to Jacksonville, NC & I'll be flying home July 12th. Depend on how things go the trip should be amazing. Either way it'll at least be nice to get away, see the ocean, && fly for the first time. Actually I'm not gonna lie I'm pretty much freaking out about the last part. I'm still so excited... a crazy mix of emotions.. (maybe this is where the sleeping problem comes in.)
         When I started this Journal I had soo much to say, yet now I'm leaning towards getting some homework done and MAYBE getting more then two hours of sleep. Just maybe, not gonna hold my breath though.

           Before I go I guess I'll through in some random Updates..
1. Probably not moving back to Michigan for school next year.. 
2. I've discovered I HATE trying to find a flight
3. Since moving closer to a big mall and such my closet is now RIDICULOUS
4. I frequently get homesick
5. The football team here is a JOKE!!!!!
6. Scrap booking is something I've started
7. I really miss tennis. =(
8. Wisconsin guys have been deemed useless. haha.
9. I'm actually really excited to start my job.
10. I have been riding horse sooo much lately && I fucking love it.
11. Riding horse has already sent me to the ER 4 times. haha
12. Aside from wisconsin guys being useless.. the schools SUCK!
14. (I skipped 13 because hotels do.) I'm happy summer is FINALLY here
15. I like that I at least live in a HUGE camping  area.... this one town alone has 7 grounds that I know of.. CRAZY!

I find myself fading fast, shapes are shifting  and life is re-arranging at a warped speed.
Unfamiliar with the new surroundings, struggling to grasp something, anything remotely tangible.
I look down and find a silhouette of the happiness I once possessed, the fire that pushed me forward
suddenly being smothered and a hollow figure of the person I aspired to be.

Current Music: Make Up Your Mind - Theory of a Deadman

What do you do when your pedistals fall? Do you crumble with the rest of the building or are you the corner left standing?  I've had so much going on lately I don't know where to begin, my mind is a playlist on shuffle these days. I suppose I could begin at the beginning though.. that usually is the logical place to start.
     "The Great Move"... I'm still so undecided on if its something I'm happy with. Its nice to see what life outside of the UP bubble is but at the same time I miss it. The school and the people here suck. I know next to nothing about cows  or farming or anything of the sort so of course that keeps me out of 90% of the conversations around here right off the bat. It doesn't help that I moved to a town that make Republic look like big. EVERYONE here is related is some twisted way ((there goes more conversation thats completely lost on me)). Aside from shitty school and people, I found some friends outside of town that are actually normal. Shocking! I know. Our house is definitely smaller but cute. Plus they pretty much sold me with the HUGE pool. Four wheeler trails will be nice and I'm pretty pumped for CNA classes. && Rock fest this summer should be pretty kick ass, among other things.
     Oh the family... yikes. Mom hasn't changed which really is not surprise... We still fight like cats and dogs and we're both now counting down until the day I leave the house for good. I have yet to speak to Rick (my dad), I have no intentions of doing so and next month will mark 3 years since the day I decided I didn't need him. && the siblings? Lets see, Jamie is in New Mexico as of two months ago & will be working there for a few years. Hopefully I'll be visiting him this summer. Christopher, good question. Its his birthday this weekend so thats when I'll be getting my update. Last I knew he was buying an apartment complex in Negaunee. Hes doing good. Angela,?who cares. Beth? Again, who cares. Danielle is still queer as ever and living under the same roof as me. Idk, we don't talk. As far as Ricky and Liisa go I'm not too sure. haven't heard from anyone since christmas. Hmm. Only one left is Gramps..I can hear him snoring in the living room now... and I'm down the hall in my bedroom. Gotta love him.  Its amazing, the absolute best part about moving is gaining my grandpa as one of my best friends. I really can't wait for fishing this summer. 
     Ugh, this isn't going where i wanted it to. I've got too much on my mind to try to write it all down now. Its definitely time for me to go do some painting.

 I've recently moved out of my house, I live with my somewhat sister now...if that makes any sense. I'm still trying to decide if its what I really want to do. The only thing I know for sure is I'm completely lost, everything has seemed to make a mess of itself and all the little problems i thought i could let go, let them work themselves out have become a hundred times worse. I need hours like crazy and only have six fucking days next month. This whole job is getting ridiculous, first we were short people and now we have so many nobody is getting decent hours. I have so much to say and so many things I'd like to through out there just to get a little advice on but honestly I see no point. First off I highly doubt anyone will or would read this beyond the first paragraph and second I doubt anyone could really help me at this point. I'm going to just have to deal with this shit and hope the choices I make and the things I'm doing are right.
But as I said..from what I can see writting in this thing is completely pointless. So if I find I have more time to waste I'll update further.

          Seeing its 3:47a.m and Bec is INSISTING I stay up with her while she packs and what not I suppose I could spare a few minutes for an update. Tennis is starting in a days and I'm sooooo excited! Although I didn't get to play this summer...like at all. Hopefully with these next few days i find time to really get down to business. I was suppose to go downstate wednesday and now my cousins talking about coming and getting me next friday. Yet the more I think about it the more I realize I can't afford this trip.
          Reason number one would be I'm about a hair away from being fired which as much as I say I don't care about I truly know I need this job. I need the money it brings; the consistency and the sense of accomplishment. If that makes sense? 
          Number Two being the start of tennis, yeah it does mean that much to me. Yes I would've missed it  in the first place but now to leave when its like RIGHT when it starts just seems SOOO dumb. 
          Three again involves work/money but for different reasons, Besides paying for my own drives ($365) I also will be saving for my own car but until I get that I'll be paying the difference in my moms insurance and driving her jeep and paying for my own gas. Plus school clothes and other things I'll be needing within the next few months. 
          So all and all I've realized I miss being ten and under. I miss being the little kid everyone told to stop growing up so fast and I hate that I considered myself an exception to the rule. Stupid freaking adults always have to be right. gay, gay, gay. But what can you do? I'm here now and from here out I'm pretty much stuck. I'm just glad I have becca, honestly I 100% certain I wouldn't  have made it through this last year without her. 
          Well I'm done typing for now. Comments would be nice..havent had those in awhile..maybe some advice? What good are you people. hah.

         I have so much to write about, so much on my mind. To start with since my last spurt of writing my insomnia has improved some. I can count on at least 4hours of sleep at night rather then the 20minutes before my alarm is going off. My mother and I are on the rocks now more then ever, but it doesn't seem to bother me. We've never seen eye to eye and I'm just at a point where its nothing unusual to me there for it doesn't bother me. 

         As far as work goes, I pretty much hate it., but what I hate more is how much its not  at all what I expected. I think we are designed to disagree with anything an adult figure tells us. All children wish they were older, wish they could get a job, move out, ect. Yet once you get closer and closer you can see it all for what it is. Like its on a top shelf and your little and can't truly see it but the glimpse you catch is exciting, but as you get older you can see more and more of it and it isn't until its there and you have to take it that you see you just want to go back. And I'm not just talking about work, how about when you use to think your neighborhood was the extent of the world? Can you honestly say those days weren't the best? Tearing through the streets on your bike and what not...your only worry was being on time for dinner so you could go out again after you ate. Or how about a not so long ago type thing? Such as calling your 'best friend' BEFORE you boyfriend or girlfriend. 

        I think what I miss most is how bluntly honest children are. Not a in your face type way cause their kids, they just tell you whats on their mind. Like the other day, my niece and I were getting ready to go somewhere and my younger sister came into the room with to much body spray on and she had gone a little overboard on the make-up. She asked me how she looked and knowing shes been a little fragile lately I told her she looked great and that yes the new spray smelt great. Well as soon as she passed by my niece made a little face and said "auntie whats that smell." Trying to answer her and change the subject I told her it was auntie dani's spray and asked her which hair clips she wanted. But she was no longer interested in her hair. She called to Danielle, at this my sister turned and looking up at her my niece giggled and said " grammy was right you do always put to much black stuff on your face." This little girl is not mean and had it been anyone else i doubt she would've said anything and rather then being hurt my sister washed some of the make-up off and changed her top to get rid of the smell of the spray.  Kids don't sugar coat anything but their cereal and they don't waste time stepping around feelings.


... so I've pretty much written a book here. So I'm off to read for a bit, maybe have some cheesecake and wait for becca to call. I miss her. :'(

Current Music: me..i love having random songs stuck in my head!!
I've got to much going on in my head and I'm to tired to write tonight..maybe tm. I doubt it...I have school until 3 then work until 10...meah. My track coach isn't going to be happy with this job thing and I think I'm going to quit. Ugh I just don't know what to do. A small part of me wants to do track and kinda likes it but then yet it is going to be put to the side for work a lot because I would rather make money then run around. Like this week for example...I work Monday through Thursday 3:30 to 10:00 and I don't wanna cut back the hours cause I could really use the money.



I just don't know what to do! There simply isn't enough time in one damn day! UGH!!!





And I still miss you like crazy and for some reason am getting like no sleep at night. I wake up feeling worse then I did before I went to bed. I can't keep a train of thought going for longer then 10, 15 minutes if I'm lucky and even that is rare. Its frustrating! Even more so at work because I get told an order and I have to go read it off the board like 5 times before I am done because I have forgot. Class is going to be absolutely horrible..I dread 5th hour even more so now then before.





I'm going to do some cleaning and get some sleep. Comments would be nice right about now...

Current Music: stereo is just repeating cause its froze and I dont feel like fixing it.

So within the past few days i remembered my password and decided to see how long I could keep this thing going so far I think I'm doing okay. My writing has been crap but that is because my mind is else where. I'm pretty much leading a boring life at the moment I go to track everyday after school and run like the devils on my tail for a reason that I have yet to find. I'm applying at Mama Mia's soon and hopefully I get the job, not only could I use the extra cash but I could also get my mother off my case for a bit...hopefully. I kinda miss tennis and am extremely pissed that out of the few nice days we had to play I only got down there ONCE. Ugh, I ended the night just trying to see the ball before it hit me with some junior from school that I had never met before and still don't know his last name. He was pretty good until it got dark though. hmm now I want to know his name.

Another thing I have yet to figure out is why I let Tonia cut my hair..I'm going to say..hell i don't even know what to say. All I know is that I am screwed. It looks horrid and even if i went and got it fixed professionally it would be like all gone. So I have decided that I am just going to keep my hair up and let it grow out. Thus far my plan has worked.Meah..umm in other news, I have started writing. I wouldn't call it a book or anything but its a story that just kinda came to mind one day when I was bored and I typed it out. So far I have 33 pages....Its crazy. I think I've written so much lately because its the only thing to do. I despise the cold so that pretty much kills going outside these days. 

Again my circle of friends has completely changed and I've learned something I now consider priceless. Alannah and I just had a big blow out. I'm sure we will be fine once school starts and I hate that this is what our friendship has come to. Sometimes I wish I could rewind, go back to the days when it truly was each other before the boyfriend. And this thing she is with now I despise, she pulled a typical Alannah forgave and forgot much to quickly and although we aren't anywhere near as close now I still look out for her. Steve is on of the last people I would be okay with her dating. I mean honestly where are these new friends of hers when she needs a wake up call?! It just pisses me off, ever since we started highschool we've become exactly opposites of each other. Sometimes I call her just to see whats up, these phone calls I could at one time use to trick myself into thinking she hadn't changed. Now even this doesn't work... No now when I call my 'sister' with a problem she listens somewhat with an impatient ear and as I finnish my last sentance she starts up with a story about 'the guy of the week' Honestly it gets old. 1.You cant fall in love with someone over a weekend. 2. Just because he says he wants to marry you doesn't mean he loves you. 3. WTF ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT GETTING MARRIED FOR?! you're in highschool...a FRESHMAN. 4. Even IF you were to seriously consider this you have only known him for a few months. 5. Didn't we try this guy..and didn't shantelle get to sit on the phone with you for hours on end because he broke your fucking heart like she said he would in the first place?!  6. Why are you still not listening to the people who love you?!  7. Why is it that I'm your best friend for nearly 5 goddamn years and this player who thinks with the wrong head has more weight then me? Where the hell was he when you puked up your beef-a-roo all over my bedroom rug? WELL??!!

I know you'll read this because I know you. And don't think for a second I'm bitching about being there for you all these years. Stop and think about it, no really..cause I know that right now you're pretty pissed off after reading that. Which is not my goal at all. Alannah you were my best friend! Always there for me, knew what to say, what candy would make what pain go away, hell I jumped off a fucking garage roof with you for pure entertainment...I AM DEATHLY AFRAID OF HEIGHTS! You pushed me to do my best, told me when the guy I thought was perfect was really a loser, and made me feel better when he proved you right. I miss that.  I wrote this for the same reason I've wrote things like this in the past. I'm still your friend if you want me to be and I still got your back. I know you want to change. YOU have said it. I'm here for you 110% I will do anything I can to help you. If not me let it be Jamie, or one of the other people who want to see the old you again. Your stronger then you think. I know you and I know you can change, for the better. You know my number, anytime, i don't care why you need to talk just call me. I'm here for you. Its what friends do and I just want my best friend back.

Went to becca's around 6 or so yesterday and ended up staying the night. I had so much fun, god how i miss the old days. Chuck had to work today so he was sleeping by the time we got back from getting my stuff and vicky went up stairs shortly after. Like Chuckles, Matthew had to work so he wasnt seen much either. Kim got home after 11 and after seeing the hack job tonia did on my hair tried to help. Joshyua showed up while that was going on and actually helped out. haha. It was amusing, then the three of us went to holiday and i got becca and i something. Silent Hill took up the next few hours and after that it was some dumb movie that i dont quite remember, ask anyone else im sure they will. Except for mikey...hes was out.

So after a 3hour nap i went home around 1 after about 2minutes of being home i was in the worst mood ever. I hated everyone and everything and couldnt stand the sound of another persons voice. I went upstairs sent *him a text and did some cleaning. After awhile i checked my messages and talked with brandi. Which of course she made everything 100times better. haha. idk what i would do without her! But yeah thats basically my day in a nut shell...Im way to bored with this to type more.




...oh wait. so i got this text yesterday and it totally made my day! I miss you terribly. And when you think of me just remember i have either just finished thinking about you for about the next minute or two, am think about you now, or will be any second now. You honestly are my every other thought.

School is boring..Im pretty much getting an A in all my classes. Cheerleading is fun but also very frustrating. Vicky is a saint and helped me so much. If i didnt have her and Crystalee i dont know what i would do. I'm not really look forward to competition and i dont really like the games either..basically im not to thrilled with cheerleading. Its just not what i had expected. Whatever i will finnish the season and see where that leaves me i guess.

Alannah and I started hanging out again for whatever reason. I'm glad we're friends but at the same time its hard cause shes not the lanna i remember. I knew she had changed but because i only saw her and hungout with her in school i could simply choose to ignore it. Now its obvious. Its just kinda sad. No matter what happens she'll never be the crazy kid i use to hangout with during the summer. Whos to say i havent changed, we have both been presented with the same problems same scenarios in life. We just made the exact opposite choices.

Anyway this is long and about random and boring things so I'm done now. Leave me comments...i could use them right about now.

Wow i havent updated this in forever. I'm just always on te go now. Its crazy. I have cheerleading 5 days of the week. I love it though, the team is small but amazing. I owe so much to Crystalee, Mary P, and Steph they've been so patient and sooo much help. I have a game this tuesday. Youuuu better be there. lol Well in case it isnt obvious im super bored and my sis wants the computer back. She can be quite the bitch when she wants to be and if she keeps it up It'll kill her. 


     Hah, alannah's going crazy so i think i am going to go see whats up. And i have practice in like 10minutes. Fucking joy!

The thing that really sucks though is that my room always has to be like PERFECTLY clean or i cant go anywhere cause dipshit that would be what i call the relator said that the house is a new listing so it should pretty much always be ready for show. Fuck him why the hell doesnt  he come clean that damn house everyday and vacum and shit. Cause thier is NO WAY IN HELL im helping them.

Current Music: does mikey snoring count?

Well i guess i can say highschool is everything i expected it to be and more. The only thing i didnt think would happen is me and my mom getting along AND being more like friends then ever before. Its werid and random and kinda scares me. Highschool has already changed me alot, i wont say for better or worse i guess it depends on how you look at it. People can still be pretty nasty but i dont really care anymore. I have given up on trying to make everyone around me happy, i guess i FINALLY realized what everyones been telling me. Its simply impossible no matter what you do someone isnt happy and im fine with that.

          I have a whole new group of friends and im so much happier. I have met a few guys and thats all im going to say there. Melissa is probabaly my new best friend and I hangout with Jamie quite often too. My classes are all easy thus far and im doing great. It seems like i have a quiz everyday but i dont really mind it. Tennis isnt going so great, my doubles partner isnt quiet as driven as i am and it can make a person very flusterd to feel like they are the only ones doing the work when they are part of a TWO person team. I think i seriously need to consult coach about doing doubles i think it would be a hundered times better and i would deff like it more. I played Shay Kangas and i put up a pretty fair fight she won in the end but im pretty sure if i would have stopped feeling bad and being worried about pissing her off with my short hits i would have won. Im pretty sure shes quite ticked about the whole thing.

 

Well thats all i have for now and this is long enough.

...over

Did you make it a blast?
For you will it forever last?
Did you cry?
Did you set new goals?
Make new promises?
Did you loose a friend?
Did you gain an enemy?
Was it all to fast?
Did it take to long?
...either way lots of us learned, people arent invinsible. Tommarow isnt promised to us but we earn it by what we do today. Hate is such a waste of time. Decide to not like someone and move on. Dwelling and bitching doesnt help anyone and if you do it to much your bitch yourself to an early death. Dont spend your life wanting what you dont/cant have and enjoy what you do have and the people in your life. Cause they wont always be there and neither will you.

          We got home late and my sister stayed in Republic and my cousin kyle is staying with us. Which i dont really mind cause he helps my mom out around the house so i dont have to. Im staying at becca's and i have tennis in the morning which i learned tonight will not ever really be a good mix. Not that im not having fun i mean who wouldnt. I love it here. Its just well Im writing a journal at 636am when i have tennis practice at 9 but have to go home at 8 jog shower locate tennis playing cloths and maybe eat.Ugh i should have gone to bed during the movie or when kimmy left. Or even when josh left. That would have been ideal. Ohwell sitting here and realizing how stupid i am isnt really helping anthing.

        Is it just me or does this summer suck. I mean its not horrible but the weather never seems to be nice long enough and people have just gotten so lazy and are lacking any ambition what so ever. I find it frusterating. I cant stand just sitting around and doing nothing for days on end i mean who can? I started jogging everyday when i got up just to be able to say i did SOMETHING. Well im going to go check my myspace and talk to some people on AIM and quit ignoring the blinking that their conversations are causing and being annoyed by it when its basically my fault.
