I forgot about this thing until Kim IMed me and I remembered old times and old people/friends.
I got off probation/house arrest last month and things have been steady since then, though sadly enough I only stayed clean for about twenty-seven hours after being released. But aside from the tiny, itty bitty problem, things have been going well — I finished my freshman year of college in one piece and made the Dean's List both semester and will probably make it at the end of Summer A. College isn't so bad at all, it is somewhat easier than high school. And I've got it down to two steady jobs now — a chinese restaurant and a beach/state park.
Kim IMing me today made me realize how much I miss her, Dustin, Alison . . . everyone.

Cops can be so fucked up, seriously.
On the way home I was riding with Adrienne and she got pulled over for 'improper changing of lanes'. It was really fucked up. She was changing lanes and the cop, whom we didn't even see except for kind of far back, sped up and we almost hit him, so she swerves back into the other lane to avoid an accident. Than the cop pulls back and turns on his lights to pull her over. He said friggin' "Fuck you" when it happened, you could read his lips from her car. -_- Anyway, he didn't even give her a chance to explain that it was an accident, she didn't see him. All he said was "At least a ticket is cheaper than an accident." Than he takes her license and walks away and spends ten minutes writing up a stupid ticket, which costs more than it does to hit a pedestrian. Hell, it costs less to go 6-9 miles over the speed limit in an area with workers present.
Asshole cops.
But other than that, I had a really good day. Actually, most of my days aren't that bad anymore now that I'm away from Charter and high school in general. Supposedly it isn't that great of a change, moving from Charter to BCC, but whatever, I sense a major difference — I like that difference. The people there aren't half as obnoxious, which is just great.
Poor Ceira though . . . she's stuck listening to my rants about this one guy who I think I like, which is kind of weird because I hate people in general and I stay away from relationships. But he is super cool and we've got a lot in common, so I'll just be silly and do one of those silent crush things. Heh.

Okay, so I haven't updated in god knows how long, but until like last week, I was computerless. Well, I had a computer I was just ignoring the hell out of it. No wonder it is on strike right now. ><
I fucking hate EarthLink, seriously. My DSL connection flickers on and off more times than my brother opens the fridge in search of food — That's a shitload of times.
Anyway, I started college in the fall. ^^ It's so much better than high school ever was. Seriously, I don't have some wrinkly hag chasing me around with a bullhorn telling me I've got three minutes to get to class. Of course, I'm still trying to adjust to this whole doing work factor.
Yeah, apparently all those warnings my teachers gave me about coasting my way through high school and never studying proved true. It's kind of weird . . . doing homework and showing up to class. In fact, I've only skipped three of my classes the entire semester. And all three times were to write papers for my other classes. ^^
Dope and Twisted Method are playing at the Culture Room tonight and I really want to go, but I've got so much work to get done for my ENC class. Plus I've got a test in AMH tomorrow. The second one this week. -_-
Anyway. ¡Viva Bush! Though, that whole gay marriage ban in some states is just wrong. It's a Constitution, not a moral code.

I think I know why the HRK tends to tear out their hair. -_- I've only received one so far, even though I got Part II down. Part III is the biggest piece of shit there is. I had to redo the entire thing, because it wouldn't copy over into an email ( somone was using .rxt files -_- ), and now the call/mail won't line up.
Stupid part III.
On the ligher side of things, my mom is coming back after being gone for like three months. I'm supposed to drive to the airport and pick her up at 4:40, but I'm not even sure if her flight is coming in. This whole hurricane thing is still making bad weather, and the central/northern parts of the state are going through it as well. Oh well.
Afternoon classes were cancelled, so I only had one class today. ^^

Whee. I need like a shirt that says, 'I'm still surviving Frances.' The weather has yet to change, though the wind went down a little. It's still raining, as it has since Saturday morning. Talk about a pain in the ass hurricane.
Power came back sometime this morning, so I've been watching the Law and Order marathon all day. Man, I love this show. Well, I like the older seasons, but this SVU crap.

South Florida has officially gone insane. Jesus christ . . . why do they always make every hurricane out to be another Andrew? I mean seriously, they always end up missing us and nailing the Carolinas. Oh no, big deal, a big of rain and wind.
Stupid people.
I had to wait in line for gas today. It was a very long line that took two hours. And before that, I had to spend an hour driving around the county to find a gas station that had gas. I wouldn't have cared if I wasn't on empty. And I'm kind of scared to go to the grocery store to get my cats some food, because it is overrun with psychotic people tearing each other apart over water and canned food.
Question? After all these years and every summer being made to freak out at least once over a hurricane, why don't these people already have enough plywood, water, and canned food? I mean, seriously, where the fuck is it all going? Another thing, why the hell was Blockbuster flooded with customers?
Hello . . . thunderstorm. No electricity you idiots. I swear, times like these make me hate Florida more ever. Of course I'm rather bitter about the beach being blocked off by police. Its perfect surfing weather and we can't go.
I totally don't understand why everyone is acting this way. It is worse than usual, no doubt, usually they act like this the day before it misses, not two days. But it happens every year. Get over it and stop being so stupid.
My mom called today and asked us to bring in the bird and all of her orchids, so that they don't get damaged by the wind. That is the extent of hurricane preparation. My brother has been at work all day, serving pancakes and my dad is somewhere in Miami for the weekend. Lili was freaking out when I called her earlier and asked to go over and grab some food .
Still don't see the big deal.

Talk about bad luck, seriously. I ended up locked out of LJ last night since my password wasn't registering right. I'm likely to blame in on some divine intervention right now after all that bullshit I wrote for that paper. Which, by the way, was completed mere minutes ago and consists of twelve pages of Catholic Church bashing and the horrors of the Reformation. The best part of that entire paper was looking at the online Catholic Encyclopedia under the Reformation, rather interesting to see it from that point of view.
It's only a Monday and I'm already exhausted, though I might have forgotten to rest over the weekend, all a blur really. But I found otu today that I got a six out of nine on my first Comp essay. Not bad considering I totally blew the thing off and scribbled down some nonsense about secrecy and blowing up buildings. I don't know, my brain has been kind of . . . mushy since last Thursday.
Ozzfest is this Saturday and I can't go. The tickets are like fifty something and OTEP wasn't able to get the tickets out to the street team in time. It's going to be the first time I've missed the thing in years. -_- I got a t-shirt as a make up for not sending the tickets. It's a nice shirt.
Ooh! And my application to the Orgy street team was finally approved. ::squeal:: It's so fucking awesome. I get to see them for free if they ever come to Florida again. Well . . . if they ever come anywhere from Tampa and further South. I heard a rumor about them going on tour again in a couple of months, but we'll see.
A final thought: MTV should rot in hell for hosting the VMAs down here. Traffic was horrible yesterday and it took me hours to get home from Homestead. Traffic is still kind of screwed up today, with everything being taken down and such. That and all the crazies out over this hurricane or something. I haven't actually heard much about it, just that it's French. Or was that Frances? I don't know.

'The Truth' - Nonpoint |

Still locked out of AOL. -_- My mom left a message early this morning that it let her in late last night, but then when I got home from morning class, it said she was still logged on. Stupid program.
So classes started last Monday and I already feel somewhat overwhelmed. I mean, the classes are all great. The material that has been outlined so far sounds interesting and I'm looking forward to that part. It's just the math labs, the essays, and load of reading. I spent school just coasting through and never studying until the day of the test. Now things are really different.
I'm hoping things settle down in a week or so, and I can adjust quickly. Hell, these people don't actually care if you don't come to class. Of course if you miss a certain amount, you fail, but they just don't care. I'm not used to that. All my teachers seem incredibly bright though, not like my old high school teachers who hated their jobs and such.
I have a paper due on Monday for AMH2010 on how religion reinforced the social hierarchy of European socities and then how the Reformation deepened rivalries betweeen the European nations. That is about four days to write this paper, and I don't know where to even begin. It's my first paper, ever, as all my AP class papers were jokes, and I'm so lost. I know I have to research the subject, since we're not actually covering it in class, but how the hell do I do that, and where do I begin when writing the essay.
Bleh. Maybe if I wasn't so nervous about this whole thing, than everything would be better off, but I'm nervous as hell about college and none of it seems to be settling out right.

Things seemed to have returned to normal these past couple of weeks, but with next week and the week after, it'll most likely all get jumbled up and screwed up . . . again.
First off. Hot new layout. ^^ I wanna fuck Battousai Kenshin so badly, the Rurouni version ain't so bad either. But in the first OVA, when he is still the Hitokiri and killing people left and right, totally hot.
Between helping out at the summer camp during the days and watching after my brother, I'm pretty wiped out. Though, he is getting well enough to beat me up with his stupid wooden swords he makes. -_- I don't care if he wishes to be Japanese, hitting me with his wooden sticks isn't nice.
I'm leaving to go back home for a couple of weeks on the 5th of July, but before that, my dad's niece is coming down to visit us. I've never actually met her before, and I'm not sure if I can bring myself to call her a cousin, because she isn't really part of my family that I've known my whole life. My brother and her used to be friends as little kids, before her dad split and they moved away to South Carolina. From what I understand, she's a total girl. -_- I'm hoping she isn't prissy and wanting to go to Sawgrass or the beach.
She's coming down here with her boyfriend on the 29th, and she'll be staying in my room, which I'm not exactly thrilled about. It isn't even the fact that I'll be sleeping on the floor and without a bed before this long ass car drive to Texas. No, I'm more irked, or maybe nervous, about being around her and having her in my room. Hell, I'd prefer my friggin' grandmother to her, simply because I know what to expect from the old woman.
My parents love this girl to death, saying that she is the sweetest and most perfect girl there is. What I'm afraid of is my mother comparing her to me and me blaming it on this girl. Part of me already dislikes her, because of how my mom and dad always go on about her and stuff, but part of me wants to try and like her. -_- I hate relatives, they can't just show up in the middle of your life.
But putting that aside, I can't wait to go home! ^^ I've been looking forward to seeing Corpus again since we got notice that my cousin is getting married. Sure, weddings suck, but I get to go home! I haven't been to Corpus since . . . two years ago? It's just been a really long time without seeing the Gulf, skating on King's parking lot, wandering around Cherrystone. I just miss it all. We're staying at my Grandma's, so I get to take over her backyard again, which I would absolutely love to move into. It's so awesome, with these massive trees everywhere, shading the area and branching over one another. And there is the porch swing on the side, near the vegetable garden, where you can go in the morning when it is all foggy and watch the birds fly around. Or later in the day when it is swarming with butterflies, and then at night, they have fireflies and crickets. It's so awesome.
I've always hated Florida and so this is going to be so great, going home for awhile. It's only going to be for a week, before we drive back, but I'm thinking about begging my mom to let me come back with her when she comes to help my grandma, who is getting surgery. Something about a hip and needing a new toilet. o.o
Bleh. It'll be a nice change though, for a little while at least, even though I know I can't stay. Everyone's already left for UCF, which means I'm stuck down here with absolutely no one. It majorly sucks. I already registered for my classes next year, I'm taking fifteen credits next semester, which should keep my mind off of everything.
Intro to Ethics is going to be so kickass. BCC is supposed to have a really amazing teacher for that class. And the Intro to Public Speaking ( which one has to take ) is supposed to be okay, even though I hate giving speechs. It isn't the same as acting, which I can do perfectly fine, because you're not becoming someone else, you're just talking.

Can someone do the Sands roster this week, the legion letter, and the report reminder? I'm hoping he puts them back together by Sunday,in which I'll do the CR.

Well, the internet to my bedroom has been cut off for some reason, but I'm not really going to fight my brother to fix it, or to rush it along. The last exam is today at noon, and I'm enjoying my semi-day off from school.
And for those who really know me, they can already see where this is heading. I've really enjoyed my break off the computer, where I could just spend time studying and to myself, without worrying ( to much ) about all the problems. And now, with my expected 'return' date coming up, I don't know if I want to return.
I'm comfortable and happy just not having to worry about that all. But whatever, I told Tracy that I'd come back and maybe I will, for awhile at least, until I really get sick of it.
And AOL made the best invention yet, blocking all IMs and contact with other people.

Harusame Miracle [4:08 PM]: Bacon egg and cheese sandwishes are great..
Rains a Lullaby [4:08 PM]: O.o
Harusame Miracle [4:08 PM]: Even Pork is great.. but I also love Spam.. :: yum -- yum :: But there is one thing I love above all, and Spam too..
Harusame Miracle [4:09 PM]: .. And that's you hun. ^.^ I love you Gina!!
Moving on . . . ^^ No studying for today, because the incredibly large fucktards in Digital Publishing decided to let the tech team do the layout for the newspaper. So, instead of spending the next two days after school doing network upgrades, I was given the entire newspaper to create the layout for and place together . . . by tomorrow at noon, when they send it to be printed.

Mmm . . . less than fourteen hours until Orgy. Whoop.
And after last night, I'm rather happy that I'm taking Tracy's advice. Fuck everyone right now, I have to study and I'm not going to keep signing on to fix your problems, not when I have my own that need to be fixed by May 10th and 11th.
Of course I'm adding a bit more time to my extended leave, but whatever. I just want a break from most of these people. ^^ Yes, you guys all know who you are.
Anyway, Tracy: Can you please help Dustin with the CR tomorrow? I promised him I would, but obviously that isn't going to happen. I already made his format and stuff and I'll send it to him later tonight. He just needs help on everything else.
Brandon: Don't forget about showing Aaron how to do the report reminder on Thursday, it was supposed to be a training thing and you said it wasn't that great, fix it than.
Sophie: Call me sometime. ::nudge::

So much for studying tonight. I think I've managed to finally stop crying now. But I'm not going to complain about someone making me cry this time, because I did deserve it. It's my own fucking fault for screwing up something that might have been good, just because I wanted to hide behind one of my walls and not admit the truth.
But I did and while I'm completely miserable over the result, it feels better to know that there aren't any lies on my part anymore. But my theory was proven correct and that doesn't help either, but whatever.
I set myself up for this one. Good job Regina, really, good job. Here is something though, if you're given the chance to turn back time and continue to omit a truth, would you? Because,somehow, I think I wouldn't with this case. And if you read this, than know that I'm sorry, but I feel better with you knowing the truth and not getting ahead of yourself.
I am the voice inside your head

She's dating this sixteen-year-old named Alex. He's so sweet, but her parents hate him.
Whoa. I went and pulled that off my first/personal journal and the sad part? That was from when I was in eighth grade, a really long time ago. O.o Talk about something old, DeadJournal. I hadn't realized that it was still around, because I wasn't really updating mine anymore, but apparently it is.
DeadJournal is the much better verison of LiveJournal.
Anyway, it was decided that I can return to classes on the thirteenth, my anger problems ( don't know where they came from ) will have disappeared by then. Great how the school just knows when I will or will not be irked enough to punch some girl. Of course the fact that I refuse to apologize isn't helping my suspension any.
But whatever, it's petty high school matters and I just don't care. Call me a stubborn ass, she was in the wrong so therefore she deserved a bloody nose and lip. Just-World theory? Maybe, just a little. And I normally don't think like this, so black and white, but seriously, she got what she deserved.
It is actually a general thing to me. If you're going to be a complete asshole to me, than don't expect to just waltz away like it is nothing. -_-
Tomorrow is the Orgy concert, I'm in spasms over the prospect of seeing them already. One night and some odd hours.
But for now, I'm off to Walgreens to pick up my perscriptions. They have me back on pills, but now that I know what I am like off of them, I'm not sure I want them running my life anymore. Yes, I'm aware that without them in my system, I'm close to being unable to function at all, but at least when I was off of them, I was aware of myself for brief moments.

'Eyes-Radio-Lies' - Orgy |

I'm sick. -_- Actually, the entire passing out at random intervals and than puking up my ( currently nonexistant ) stomach contents, has kind of subsided for now. Of course this is only after having an IV jammed into my arm for the entire night and majority of the day. So now, I'm just trying to studying while having to jump off my bed and run to the bathroom every five seconds.
Something about them pumping you full of fluid does that to you. So now my bladder absolutely abhores me. Great.
Today was supposed to be the Student Focus group and I was invited to join in, but due to the above mentioned illments, I missed it. It was actually disappointing, because I wanted to go there and get my views on our school across. They do this once a year, and I've been in the Charter System for awhile now and have been doing thing for awhile now. So it is one of the first years I missed it and I'm sure the guy who does it every year missed me. ::snicker::
I don't know why they do it, this Student Focus Group, because no matter how many points we bring up on things that need to be changed, like for instance the massive amounts of attention given to Uniform Nazi-ing instead of separating honors and regulars, things haven't changed. Ooh, they would have heard my complaint about lunch.
They must have switched people this year, because last year, we had some of the best food in Broward County. I mean, it was good. Sure, I get reduced lunch ( everything for forty cents. ) But, I still wasn't happy about the rather large increase in price and the decrease in quality. Our french fries have become soup, our ketchup is like water, and the pizza is a burned rock that tastes like sour beer.
I mean. Sure, I wouldn't have minded the increase in price if the food was made better or stayed the same, but for its quality to just roll down hill, that is pathetic.
I should probably get back to studying, but there is so much other fucking homework to get out of the way as well, and I just don't want to do it anymore. Fuck my exams. >< Well, not really. I'd piss myself if I got lower than a three on any of them, but my grades have always been the one thing I try to maintain to perfection.
Saturday is the Orgy concert and I can't wait. They had me looking up directions to the Culture Room today, only for me to realize that I actually knew where we would be going for once. I mean, I know the streets and the route, I just don't know the actual location. But I figure, it has to have some sort of identifying mark. o.o
Either way. Orgy this Saturday, I'm going to be in heaven and love to my friends who are taking me as a birthday present. I have to pay my own twenty dollars to get in, but the fact is, they're driving us all the way there, and it is like forty minutes away apparently.
Well, that's what Mapquest says, but I'm going to guess it didn't figure in Florida driving and J behind the wheel. ( Going as fast as possible, weaving in and out of cars, and flashings of neighboring cars only to speed off again )
And things are sorted and fixed with one of my previous delimas, and the best thing? No one got hurt. ^^
Harusame Miracle: Went out for a drive..
Rains a Lullaby: That's relatively safe.
Rains a Lullaby: Unless you started chasing down little old ladies with walkers.
Rains a Lullaby: And if you did that, don't tell me. I might question your sanity then, if you were chasing a poor, little hundred-year-old lady, with some rusty old walker. Because that just isn't nice, at all.
Harusame Miracle: o.o
Rains a Lullaby: That's why you chase down old men with canes and seeing eye dogs. ::nod:: The dog barks and runs, dragging the old man around on his belly, and the cane knocks people out of the way. Completely safe until you squish him with your tire.
