Eating and Swimming 11/29/2012

Seriously, the title says it all. We went swimming...twice...and eat at Chilis. Got a free doughnut at Sheetz and then called it a night at 9:30. I am now quite ready to go to bed. Short and sweet.

Vacation at Last! 11/29/2012

Is it still considered vacation if I'm only less than a 4 hour drive from my house? I count it like that. I needed a rest, a break, a BIT OF PEACE. Finally we get to be in a hotel for nearly two days straight *tears of joy*. Well, time to sleep. Wait...that would make it not a vacation but a nap-time ..SCREW IT, I'MMA ENJOY THIS VACATION! Short and sweet, buds. Love ya'll.

I am Not COMMUNIST 11/28/2012

I saw The Princess and the Frog in Saturday. I cried, like I usually do, but it was at the scene in Mama Odie's house where she shows Tiana her father in the gumbo. I just had a moment where I thought 'What would I do without my dad...?' I cried, missed 10 minutes of the movie and then fell asleep and let my laptop battery die. That was my Saturday.

I was in History today and everyone was chatting about government and popular beliefs (can you see where I'm going with this?). They were talking about Canada and how well their government was doing and how America should be more like Canada. This one kid asked why we can't have free Healthcare. I, stupidly, got involved with the comment QUOTE "Because Democracy prevents that at the moment. I just think Democracy isn't a save all." Then, all HELL broke loose. I started getting angry private chats accusing me of being a communist and got rejecting messages back in the MAIN chat. I was so confused I almost didn't reply. Me being me, I did. I said, copied and pasted for uniform replies "No, I'm not a communist but democracy isn't working." Then it only got worse. So upset and confused about the happening, I just left the chat room. Not worth being harassed for my beliefs. I mean, it has been in a constant downward spiral for a while now (the government). I do NOT believe the country is going to change. I don't We're too brainwashed.

On another note, I'm going downstate with my Dad and brother for a mini-trip! SO EXCITED! No mom, no in class work, no problems. I mean, the only thing I may miss is one of my art classes (which reminds me...I have to tell my friend she'll need to find a ride...we carpool). Anyways, I need a break. Seriously. I NEED A BREAK. I've been here in the same 20 miles for weeks now and I'm sick of it. I am so done with being in one place. I get antsy when I have to stay put for extended periods of time. I'll probably end up sitting in the hotel all that time (until Friday) but it will be so worthit. Pool and computer. That is ALL I NEED! I better get my work done today so I won't have too much to worry about. Take care, Internet. More quite soon.

A Small Update (or not) 11/26/2012

Hello, everyone. I hope my short hiatus didn't cause anyone to lose interest in the blog. I have been so busy I have had so little time for anything other than general health care and school work. My weekdays have been jam packed with my art classes, special help sessions and generalized school and chaos. My weekends have been about the same with my family feeling the need to consume hours and hours of time together even though they have nothing in mind. Such is the case with a week ago when my mom suggested me and her go out to shop and when we got 20 minutes out she asked me what I wanted to do. Naturally I had no idea...neither did she. We ended up going to two stores and then going home, only for me to work until 8 on a school project. Altogether, nothing has been going well.

I also...met someone special. For now and until further notice, he shall be known as Wolfy. Wolfy is such an amazing person and has brought so much sunshine in my dismal life I could never ever find the words to thank him properly. We're sweet with one another and I hope someday we could be...more than friends. Not THAT kind of thing but...something innocent but obvious. That makes no sense...Either way, he's such an amazing person I have no idea what I would do without him. We've exchanged some pics and...we are ok. Don't show him this, please. I'd blush till the end of time...also, if he doesn't feel the same way I don't know how I would react. Until I deem anything else worth sharing, this is me signing off. Bye everyone.

P.S. Who forgot to let me have some of the Nutella?

To be POed, or not to be POed 11/12/2012

I don't know whether to be totally POed or totally excited. For one thing, my parent's have been back and forth since I came upstairs only about 45 minutes ago and I heard them downstairs! Then, I come upstairs and get scolded for being in my pajamas for the entire day (which isn't a big deal...) and for not making dinner like I said but was told not to. NOW I was ticked off and confused. Well, it all got mostly better when I got a new drawing software. Its like a Photoshop knockoff but it seems cool enough. I'm gonna try a paint feature and see how it works. Its always a pain in the butt to learn a new drawing software. Well, I'm gonna go see what happens. Byes!

I Won't Apologize 11/9/2012

I finally got my eReader to work. I had to factory reset, FORCE it to update through the website and get a memory card for it. I was honestly...SO ticked off. They made it so difficult, that even though it works now I have no reason to say sorry for raging yesterday. I find it quite bad for business that there are no clear answers on the internet and no solid solutions. It makes me upset and totally frustrated. That's really all I have to say today. Just...if you make a product that could possibly have very serious problems, have a REALLY good and educated support staff.

eReader...BAD Idea? 11/8/2012

Ok, I'm not one to offend people often so I really hope my mother never finds this blog. She got me a Sharper Image Litertia or something like that for 46 bucks as a gift. I got it today (ordered Monday off EBay) and was totally excited! Wouldn't you be?! Then...I tried to run it. First, its not a touch screen but it has a keypad, button-style movement pad and tough to press buttons. That's only the beginnings of this thing.  It said it came with 150 books by default...THAT was a blatant lie. It came with 25 and one was the United States Constitution. Then I checked the store. Book prices ranged from $0.99 to over $40, which means it might be cheaper to buy the flipping books in the stores. Also, there are books missing covers, descriptions and even repeat entries for books with variable info attached. This was all before I got the throbbing headache.

I got the throbbing headache by trying to put an eBook from online on it. The Divine Comedy. I had a free link to it, had the ePub format and everything. I downloaded Adobe Digital Edition...it doesn't recognize my eReader. I unplug, replug...nothing. I uninstall, reinstal...nothing. I delete EVERYTHING off of my MP3 player SD card and put it in the eReader...nothing. You getting the pattern here? I then procedded to update the firmware (I presume) 5 times, factory reset three and prepared to crack it in half over my knee (my mother stopped me and told me to go to bed. I am hating this damn thing already. Yet...it was a gift so I'm keeping my complaints to a minimum though I have expressed by disgust with it and my dislike of its way of working (or lack thereof). Altogether, I'm seeing this as a waste of my time so far. Sharper Image, GET IT RIGHT NEXT TIME. This thing so far, is a piece of crap. If this changes, I'll be sure to say so.

I Feel a Depression Coming On 11/5/2012

Today was…uneventful to say the least. I honestly wish I would have gotten more done today but you know, some days are just like that. I also had hoped to get my laundry done today but I guess that isn’t going to happen anytime soon. I’m going by a new motto this week…WHATEVER. Pretty good, no? I say its fantastic and quite to the point. I am finding that I am getting less and less enjoyment out of my everyday life.  Maybe it’s a phase like it seems to end up being. I certainly hope so. This downward spiral crap makes me want to jump out of a window. Seriously, whatever makes me go into these stupid depression loops really needs to lay off. I have a life to live, you know? I don’t have time to be depressed all the time. I think I just need to take a chill pill and sit down. Whatever the case, I have a busy and most likely unfun day ahead of me. Wish me luck…no really, wish me luck.

I have the POWER! 11/3/2012

We got our power back today! Took them this long to get it back. It had been out since Monday at 10 and we were pretty at ease about it at the  time because in our old neighborhood it would have gotten fixed by the morning. Thankfully we got a generator and were able to keep warm and safe throughout Sandy. You don't have to worry too much about me. I have restarted folding cranes for my 1000 cranes. I know it seems childish but I really wanted to. I feel like I have to try. If nothing else, I hope to gain a sort of peace with myself through them. I can’t go on without trying. My wish is too important. Well, I have to go. Goodnight! I hope everyone is safe or becoming more safe after Sandy.
