It is always refreshing to go to church and be with people you love and you don't have to worry what they think of you. During the week people are always judging you on how you dress or act or something. But at church it's different. I can wear something i'm comfy and be myself. I can give as many hugs as I want and I don't get in trouble for physical contact and I can pretty much say what I want and express my feelings more openly without people blabbing about it or getting really worried or upset because of my opinion. I can easily speak in front of the church and give a lesson or somethin and I wont be nervous beacause i know that know matter how bad I was they'll always love me and wont put me down if i did bad. I feel like I can forget all the trouble in the world and focus on God and the people around me whom I love. After coming home from church mom wasn't in a bad mood that I can remember and I got a chance to talk with Doll face for a couple of minutes and then went to my grandmothers for a while to watch my lil' bro sleep while she went to work. While I was down there I started to read a book called Patriarchs and Prophets by Ellen G. white. I never really enjoyed her books or was interested in her at all but for some reason I was actually reading her after i told my self that i'd never fall in and read her stuff. The night swept by me quite quickly and before I knew it it was around 9pm. Coming back home my uncle was waiting for my auntie Chris to come home so they could Leave for Canada and wouldn't be back til Monday. I said my good byes and stuff online before they left.
Now leaving Saturday and now moving to today, I woke up around 9 and decided I needed to get a start on my sci. fair proj. the really really stupid sci. fair proj. that has been a drag! A TOTAL DRAG! My mom was already awake and was getting ready to leave to pick up a patient of hers. I didn't feel like going along because i had plenty of work I wanted to get done. But being the person she is she threatened to take my computer and my phone away from me just because I didn't want to ride along with her knowing that she was going to complain about her love life. Even after i had just gave her gas money. Being forced into this I had to go listened to about an hour of her love affair and so on. And I even managed to keep my mouth shut!! what an accomplishment! I can't treat her like she is like anyone else and give her any advice because she never listens and then ends up like i think she will or will get her self in some kind of trouble. When we returned home i helped her get Jenny into the house and went back to my room to clean up and get my stuff out for my project. Around 11 I needed to go to my cousins house to get my poster board because i gave it to him to do the word art which wasnt done until maybe 3 this afternoon. So i spent most of the day at my cousin's house waiting for him get that done so I could do the rest. ( you see i asked him to do the word art because I have no talent what so ever at art much less being creative in anyway) you will see when u look at my board. It is nothing but papers filled with text and pictures that got smeared here and there from me handling them so much. I have until Thursday to get it done but I got the proj. done tonight so I wouldn't have to crunch it in this week with the rest of the h/w and proj. So I finished that!!
OH!! I didn't talk about Doll yet did I? Well when I finally did get home she was on and I said hi and everything but she didn't seem to talkative at all so i just left it be. She was talking to Peter as well as I. So we didn't chat among eachother very much today.. sigh..
Shelby and Monica went to see the Phantom of the Opera on Friday and I'm hoping to see the boogeyman for my birthday this thurs. or maybe something different. I don't know yet. I haven't heard from Kaylee all weekend long so I don't know how she is and what she's been up to. Jen was sick last week and I have been praying for her too. Raquel wasn't at her best as well and we had a little talk last week too and I have been praying for her but don't know if everything is well with her yet. :( Kimberly hasn't been sick this week so that's a really good thing! I haven't talked with my good friend Laura for a while now and i'm really bummed out about that but I can't do anything about it unless I wanna get in trouble.. Also, Mrs. Umphrey wasn't at school on fri. and I began to worry once again but Abby told me that Mrs. U wasn't going to be there for something or another and rolled her eyes. Jake, a fellow classmate of mine had gotten surgery on his hip and leg and hasn't been in school for a while now and is supposed to be back this monday but leaving again this wed. because over the weekend he had a loss in the family. He seems to be handling it pretty well though.. He's a nice guy. Kaisy went to LLC with her pathfinder group over the weekend and saw katie, Jeremy, Frank, Wendy and lots of other ppl. They all went snow boarding and talked about maybe having a writing contest and the winner will get one free week at camp. :D :))
That's it for now.. my wrist is starting to put me in pain. It's telling me to go to bed!
You are more beautiful than anyone ever. every day you're the same, you never change.- No never.

What a weekend
Friday night I left With Shelby for the Lock-in with her youth group. It went pretty well actually! We stayed in the gym for a while and played basketball, hockey, soccer, knock out, and all sorts of stuff. when it came time for worship we made a really big circle and discussed our friendship and how our friendship with friend and God are alike and different. we had to hunt for cards in the church. What was inside the cards were things that we do with our friends. We went around the circle saying one thing for each item and how it relates to our friends. after that we related it with God and our relationship with him. Then we read some scripture, 33 verses. I don't quite remember where it was in the bible though..sigh.. I didn't have my bible handy in the Gymnasium.. After that we played a game where we had to take all 66 books of the bible and put them in order. we had to say how many were in the old an new. What memory i had!! i couldn't remember!! I guess i'm going to have to work on that.. in my group I was one of the only girls that could remember most of them though! so that was an accomplishment!!:D It was girls against guys and the guys won.. They beat us by like 30 sec. We were trying to figure our where Daniel and Habakkuk went.. over all we had like 4 misplaced and they were all in the old testiment. Pretty good memory don't you think?
After that we had a closing prayer and thanked God for the wonderful evening. Later on, we had pizza and snacks. There were brownies there too. They weren't nearly as good as Phil's but.. it was chocolate! trying to gain a little weight here!! ;) so after that one of the new friends i made brought out her guitar.. which she couldn't play but her other friend could. I figured out how to play two songs, one was As the deer and I can't quite remember the other. I remember!! Jolly old St. Nicholas! I figured out how to play the two of them just by ear!! Very proud of myself!! i found some talent! Never really touched a guitar long enough to play a note but after i was told where one note was i could find my way around the fingerboard pretty easily. it was quite thrilling! I learned a little bit about the guitar in music class and how to hold it but that was it. from there i was on my own! I feel very talented!! I love the guitar! Almost as much as the cello and violin! oh and Dolly's voice if that counts! :D :D
So anyway, we all slept in one room and we couldn't go outside for anything but anything. Duh! lol I made a couple of friends too!! before bed i braded like 6 girls hair!! I have never really did any braiding on any one elses hair but my own. I felt soo much like Dolly!! I braided girls' hair and read a little bit of the Notebook then read the bible before i went to bed and then did my own hair in braids. Then I felt like i was taking care of the girls when i said g'night to them individually and made sure they were all set for bed and so on... Really made me feel like Doll! :) from camp anyway. The girls really liked me! i felt special!! :D I got a chance to rub one of the leader's backs.. She hurt her foot or something and was wearing a cast so she was on crutches and her back hurt a bit, i could tell. So i told her to sit and i'd rub her back a little bit I made sure was alright and she was taking it easy, not letting her do anything that involved a lot of effert.
In the morning I read the bible and woke people up for breakfast after Liz woke up everyone by singing at 7:10 am!! we ate breakfast and started to get our stuff ready to leave since it was already snowing outside and it had layed about 2 in. we had to be out of there by 10 before the storm was going to hit. After we packed I helped to pick up a little bit and cleaned up the bathroom. It was nice! When we came back to Shelby's house we sat and did nothing for about an hour and then i decided i wanted to go to my dad's since he was like not even a min. away from shell's. He came and picked me up and I slept and ate the rest of the day. After sundown i watched ms. Congeniality at 10pm and wat up till 1am this morning. My mom came to pick me up at 9 and we came home as soon as possible. Got home went through the routine and then there was an uh-oh.. my msn wasn't working! Dolly had'nt updated her blog and i didn't know if she got her internet back. I actually didn't worry! found out there was something wrong with msn's server and all was well by 5pm. it's all good. I also found out that Andi got 2nd degree frostbite all over her legs and face. She said its not that painful any more. :) So Andi is ok. The only question is how is Dolly doing? Thought of her all night on fri. and prayed that she'd find her phone and she was safe considering i havent seen a new blog for a few days nor have i heard from her. The weekend was fun!! and i only thought about the bill a couple of times after Shelby yelled at me like 6 times!

Accomplishments of the week
From tonight, Friday, and tomorrow I'll be with my friend Shelby and her youth group at church for a Lock in. For anyone who wants me feel free to call me on my cell. If you don't have the number you'll just have to suffer! ;) Anyway, Doll I hope you have found your phone and if not keep looking i'm still praying for ya! Hope you get your internet back up!
I had a pretty short week.Lets sum it up here.. I had off school on Monday, Tues. I handed in my absent work and caught up on what i still needed to do. Wednessday, it was Tracee's Birthday! I wished her Happy B-day and I had Course Selection for High School. I then had a Science test on electricity-not hard.. I also had a math Test that I started. Thursday I finished up the math test, took a lang. arts test and took a Social Studies test on Andrew Jackson, Which I think i failed. Today, Friday, I have off for Semester break but it was originally a snow makeup day. A fairly good week since Mrs. U didn't get me in trouble for anything, I wasn't in trouble for anything from the office, I was only scolded once for taking hair off of my friends back, which made her jump. So I knew about all the tests and think i did pretty well on them all. The only downside was I didn't have much time to talk with ms. reimer, something i do every day. I also became very fustrated with the computers and Eric because I became the "teacher" as soon as the real teacher left the room and everyone asked me questions when I guess they were afraid to ask the real teacher. So, the labels weren't made because the ok button wouldn't accept, the laptops weren't updated correctly like they were supposed to be (that was Eric's job) and it became my responsibility to get them done right. I found out the type of printers we have and installed a new quicktime on some of the laptops. Because Eric didn't do what he supposed to do for the last 2 weeks I had to make up for all that on top of straightening his butt out cause he was being immature. linking markers together, rolling in the teacher's chair, drawing on the board and just goofing off when we had plenty of work to get done. 2 student's computers locked up that had to be fixed and I think that was it.. ok i have to go!! I'm leaving for Shell's! xoxoxo ttyl

My summary. What do u think?
A window Across the River
Brian Morton
A Window across the River, a romance book, is about two people who haven’t seen nor talked to each other for about five years now. Nora one of the main characters kept on thinking of Isaac. He would appear in her dreams and things he had said in the past would pop into her thoughts; and sometimes while she was in a book store she would drift off to the photography section, what Isaac did for a living.
Every couple of months Nora would pick up the phone wanting to call Isaac but then would put the phone back on the hook. She wasn’t quite sure why they lost touch but for what ever reason she hasn’t talked to him since.
It all began with her picking up the phone that one night and called Isaac at midnight. When Isaac answered the phone, sleepily, he said Nora? Is that you? She didn’t answer. In the years before, they would sleep on the phone together. They could exchange thoughts without saying a word aloud. Five years have gone by and now and he knew right away who it was. Nora finally answered and then the story begins.
Nora Howard is a story writer who has had trouble composing pieces because they would always end up hurting someone she loved. Isaac the photographer and her love wants the relationship to work. The question is will they be able to live together without sacrificing their work.
Their uncovered love was keeping them alive. Nora was soon on her way to her best work but then she realizes who it’s about. It turned into a betrayal of Isaac revealing his failures. She was planning on entering it into a contest. She knew that she would have to show him the story hoping that it wouldn’t change the love they had shared with each other. In the past she had hurt many people she loved and caused them to “hate” her. How will they stay in love after revealing the worst of each other?
“A funny, precise and beautifully written novel. Morton’s intelligence shimmers. His perceptions of the conflicts within the human heart are keen. I loved this book”
--Alice Sebold, author of THE LOVELY BONES
Doll needs to get that internet back!! Love you TONS Dorota!!! ;) I miss you!

A window Across the River
A 289 page book with 3 main charaters. Isaac, Norma, and Billie. But then there's Renee and her friend.
I can say it was a pretty interesting book. I really liked it a lot! I think i can almost say it was the best yet. I think the Lottery Rose by Irene Hunt was still great. I finished A window Across The River in record time. since friday night till yesterday night. three days? I'm really proud of myself!! :D I'd give you a summary of the book but that requires a lot of thinking and writing. When i do write it i'll try to post it. All i can say is its a mix of romance and career.
For now I think i'll let the book sit in my head for a little while before i start writing. Hopefully i wont forget after i start The Idiot.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day Lets dig up a little history on him.
“He is the first person in the Western world to have shown us that a struggle can be waged without violence,” said Chairman of the Nobel Prize Committee Gunnar Jahn upon bestowing the award on King in 1964. “He is the first to make the message of brotherly love a reality in the course of his struggle, and he has brought this message to all men, to all nations and races.”
On January 15, 1929 he was born in Atlanta Gergia. He was a leader of the American civil rights movement and a Nobel laureate. And he made the the speach "I have a Dream."

DP as in Mr. Anon #2, DP aka Don Pedro aka Peter Lazar? I feel very very special to get a comment from someone else other than the Great Doll. Even more special that its from someone i dont even know but they seem to know me in some way and are friends with Doll. Can you please do me a favor and Give me an more of an Idea who you are? Are u the Gentlemen in Dolly's blog taking a picture of her while she was taking a picture of you? Just curious. I am very glad that someone reads my blog other than myself and Doll. :D now getting people that are my good friends (besides Doll) to read my blog much less read at all! lol
Again and Again
Once again i am blown away by how great she is. God has sent her to me for a reason. Not just a friend but a "councelor" Living my life has been much easier since Dolly has become close to my heart. God has really blessed me with someone as great as she is. Thank you so much Doll! once again you have seemed to pull me through. You ARE amazing! Wanted to tell you! Everyone, meet Dorothy Ann Porawski. A person who cares, loves, befriends, and is crazy at times. Ya gotta love her! xoxo Friends are great to have when you need someone to be there for you. Friends keep it real!
*Don't ever be afraid to come to me n cry* *Don't ever hesitate to look me in the eye* *Don't ever be afraid to tell me how you feel* *Remeber ur my gurls n we gotta keep it realL*
ok now i have to put some quotes up real quick..
*FrIeNdShIp Is JuSt A wOrD bUt My GiRlS gIvE iT a MeAnInG*
To discover new lands, you must lose sight of the shore.
If you love someone put their name in a circle not a heart, a heart can be broken but a circle goes on forever
Our eyes are placed in front because it is more important to look ahead than to look back (think bout this one nikki! ;))
Friends r like stars they come and go but da 1's dat stay r the 1's that glow ****

How Hard Could it Be?
Last year we had a class for Yoga that Mrs. U taught. I never had a chance to join the class because I was already in Apple Core. Thinking back on not having the chance to ever try out yoga, I thought it would be a good experience to try. So i did some searching online. I found a pretty nice site explaining how to go about certain positions and safety procautions. I have seen people do yoga and didn't think it could be that hard. I considered myself pretty flexible.
Have you ever tried to do yoga? I can tell you it's not easy!! You have to be really flexible! Try the Downward facing dog for example. I was pretty much making a triangle with my body. It was hard!! It really stretched out my legs. Or maybe the extended Triangle Pose. That one is not so hard but it does have a little pain. It's supposed to strengthen the thighs, knees and ankles. It stimulates teh abdominal organs and helps relieve stress. Yoga does a number of things in general but those are just a few from one stretch. To put a picture in your mind, your legs would be spread apart while standing, you would then put your hands on your hips and slowly raise them making your arms parallel to the floor and your palms are facing down. Your left foot is slightly to the right and your right foot out to the right 90 degrees. You are then bent to the right with one hand on the ground and the other in the air directly above your head. You head is looking at your thumb and your legs hurt!! try to picture yourself doing that! Now i thought it couldnt have been that hard!! it really is!! Tootles for now! Doll is back!!

To put a picture in your mind, your legs would be spread apart while standing, you would then put your hands on your hips and slowly raise them making your arms parallel to the floor and your palms are facing down. Your left foot is slightly to the right and your right foot out to the right 90 degrees. You are then bent to the right with one hand on the ground and the other in the air directly above your head. You head is looking at your thumb and your legs hurt!! try to picture yourself doing that! Now i thought it couldnt have been that hard!! it really is!! Tootles for now! Doll is back!!

Making someone feel special!
For the last few days Mrs. Fodness, my math teacher has been looking to see how many people look at her site. She has been looking at the counter on her site for those past few days too! She even put up an extra credit thing online just to see if ne one actually looked. If someone would email her replying to the extra credit they'd get some points. This test was just to see if anyone looked at it. She had mentioned during math that she updated it and wanted them to look at it. So being the nice person I am;) I decided I wanted to visit her site just to see if she had really updated it knowing that in our school no one ever updates their webpage at all unless its Mrs. Scheer or Mr. Tribbitt for grades and that's it! So although I couldn't email Mrs. Fod I did tell her That I looked at the site and told her the whole situation which she already knew about. No one else knows that she is offering extra credit just to go to her site and email her! So it will be my goal to try to visit Mrs. Fod's site everynight to help her self esteem and to see what is new in our class and others. Doesn't mrs. Fod feel special! OH, by the way She is one of the few that doesnt hate me. I feel as if every teacher in the building has something against me now that they know what happened. I want to know what is so great about this teacher who makes them all hate me for being nice and having emotions that can't stay hidden 100% of the time. I have feelings too!
Just out of curiosity PlEASE tell me what you think of her! Seriously! my friend Matt just found out the whole deal after a whole 2 hr. chat with him about it becuase he was curious. His mom mentioned something to him about it i guess.. So now, him, his mom, and her husband pretty much all, well.. lets not say hate but don't agree with what the teacher and school is doing about the situation.(not that it matters ne more) Matt said that his dad would be more than happy to tell the school off. it is quite amuzing! Every chance that he gets he wants to be able to tell the school off just because he hates the district! And what else that facinates me is that Mrs. Solomon, Matt's mom wants to go tell off the councelor and a few other ppl. I am feeling SOO LOVED!! :D I mean something to someone!! In a way i feel very special and that she is not going to let no one but no one mess with her "adopted" kid!! One more thing she wanted to do but stopped her from doing. How great is that?!?! LOve you ALI! thanks for being there! I love how she understands me so well and can take action on things because she has got "the power"!! It's not that really.It's really more that she cares at all. I mean there are those people who could care less about how you feel and what they can do to help. She doesn't even know the whole deal but still tries her best to understand me and takes out of her day and spends just a few moments making sure that I am ok. That just makes me feel like I'm on top of the world. Every now and again I feel like i have a place in this bizzar world. While in the moment I would Also like to send a thanks out to Doll today because the simple things in life make a difference. She does the smallest thing and means so much to me. Doll I don't think you have the slightest idea how much it means to me when you tell me you love me and when we just fool around. God loves ya girl! It's always nice to see her online and read her blogs when I'm at school and if i'm not at a computer I rush home as fast as i poss. I can to see her blog and talk to her to see how she is. OK! off to bed I am! skipping the lang. arts.. I'll do it tom. during eco. I find some time.. maybe my lunch period. Thats if i don't get yelled at for going to lunch and doing something other than eat! It's our freakin period to do as we please as long as it's legal. Our school is messed up majorly! says one thing and then you get yelled at for doing what your told is ok to do! there was never any rule saying u cant be 15 min. late to lunch. and there isn't any rule saying that you can't skip lunch or u can't spend your lunch period with a teacher. Besides lunch detention. Just starting to realize how ucky school can really be.

Can you Believe it??
Can you believe that Doll is already back in Poland? safe and sound too! according to her blog she was sick on the way. Poor girl.. I did talk to her early this morning and she is feeling much better now. Well, I'm going to be heading off to church and if i don't go every person in that church is going to have my head! I told maybe 2 ppl that i would be there today and word spreads fast in our church so i have to go. There is nothing wrong with going to church its just my church. Long story. But yea.. i have to get down to my grandmother's so I can give her my little bro's socks and such. ok, Sending my love out to Mr. Lil, Dolly, Jen, Katie and Laur. Tootles! Glad you're home Dorothy!!!

Free class
Right now i have a free class to do what ever I wish to do. I decided i'd do some system updates and do a little blogging.
Yesterday Mrs. Umphrey wasn't here cause I think she was sick - so I'm told.. But today she's back and looking just fine. hmmn.. I think she's wearing a new sweatshirt she got, it's green. i was brave enough to e-mail her yesterday night when I got home because I was just a little worried.. if it got to her or not i'm not sure because I think the office blocked me from sending any type of e-mail to the teachers.. school related or not. I say that because a few days ago i was trying to e-mail my health teacher about something I had read with dairy products and thought she might be interested in it. and it was returned to me so...
Anyway, like I said last night Dolly left for the airport and boarded the plane safely. Hopefully she will get home safely and I'll hear from her. I don't know when or how long it usually takes to get back to Poland..
Hmmn.. What else? My aunt Chris and my uncle tim got their nails done last night. I went to my aunt Brenda's and had dinner there. repeating myself here!!! But yea.

Thursday
Today is Thursday and do you know what that means? That means that Someone is going to fly over some water to go to somewhere in europe and leave the U.S. Yea, and do you know who that someone is? yea, its Dolly. Dolly got to the airport around 5ish i would say according to her dad. And while she was there I guess she got some new books to read too. Very smart girl! Books are good! not bad! lol anyway, all day today I was hoping for a call from Doll but didn't recieve one because once again she couldn't find it. No prob. Although i did do some worrying today until I got the message. Which I am very very thankful for!! Anyway, its like 10 and i just got out of the shower! I was at my aunt Brenda's and Emily's house for Dinner and we had tacos and then watched the simpsons. After that adam my other cousin wanted me to play the sims with him so I spent most of the time making a family which included the names, Kris, Patti, Eric and me. None of us looked like us either.. Emily and I wanted to do Dolly but she was too hard to do because of her height and hair. So we decided on her sis patti because Vicky, i think, has really long hair which was also hard cause i couldnt find ne one with long hair.. Anway, Kris is Dolly's "friend" Patti is Dolly's sister Eric is my friend and me is me. spent over an hour picking out cloths hair and ect. but it was almost nine when i was starting to build a house! left at 8:50 to get home and get my shower and stuff. It was nice having my mom be asleep while i was doing all of this! So it was nice other than the fact of comming home to the house a total wreck and rice in my carpet and cds, floppys and school papers all over my room.
So right now i am gettin ready for bed and i picked up all the crap on the floor and waiting for Chris to get to my uncles so i can say goodnight.
Love you Doll!! love you Jen! Love you Katie!!

In Honor of Mr. Little
Tonight is the last night before I start school again..sigh.. Mr. Little is soon off to Iraq and I know all of Allen will miss him greatly. Allen won't be the same when he is gone. Mr. Little will be in our prayers and thoughts where ever he is. I want to thank him for his bravery for going to war and his kindness and gentleness he havs always given to us. All of the 8th grade knows him in some way, whether they had seen him in the hall being a patrol officer or if they had him for a class. The assembly we had in his honor does not get even close to how much he really deserves. I hope to see you soon Mr. Little! God Bless!

What happened?
Christmas break, I guess, was pretty interesting last/this year. Very mixed up and in a way i guess i was happy... I mean School let out on the 23 of Dec. and on the 3rd I'll be back in the building doing the same thing learning absolutely nothing in some classes and in others finding new ways to look at life. Most of the time I stayed at my dads house and hung out with my friends and spent money on candy or we'd go out and eat lunch together with my cousin, Zachary. If i wasn't doing that I'd either be trying to get a hold of Doll, reading or finding a computer with internet so i could see if Doll updated finding out if shes alright.
For the past week Zachary and I have been hanging out together and getting along too!! :) We took a nice stroll around the block a few times on my bike and his scooter every morning. I'd pick up a few of my friends and usually one of us had things to do for our parents so I'd help out or something. We might go across the street and stop at Wendys since McDonals is too far to bike. Zachary was as nice as he could be to my friends which i very much appreciated. He's usually a little brat and doesnt use the manors he has. So yea. Anyway, there went most of my break. either i was with my friends, dad or doing my own thing. well, besides the Christmas deal.
For new years around 9 my friends walked up to my apartment my dad has. They came to see if i was doing anything and wanted me to come hang with them. 5 of us danced down the street together singing random songs something like... another brick in the wall and amazing grace. Just what ever popped into our head. Later on we gathered up a whole bunch of friends that we knew from around and we all played monkey on the ground and we chased eachother and watched two guys have a play fight. Thanks to my friends I got out of a lecture of some kind from my dad.. so from 9-11:30 i was safe! whoo hoo!! Before they came over to pick me up i was in tears because my dad was being nasty and saying stuff that i thought i'd only hear from Mrs. Umphrey.. But his was a little nastier. Lets not go into depth. If i'm not mistaken this whole lecture (what ever it was) was over cheese. After i came back home and the girls left my dad started back up.Some how it went from culture to how bad and horrible i am or something of that kind. What a way to go into the new year right? We went right through new years like it was just another hour. To him its just another day and nothing to be so greatful about. I ignored the fact that it was then midnight and he was still lecturing. Now it's about 2am and he's still rambling on and on. I heard all of it and I don't remember most of it right now. Bits and pieces i remember though. Now, keep in mind its early in the morning i'm totally beat i was up since 6am the day before and hadnt had any sleep except for a half hour nap. He is telling me that for some reason i'm mad at him. He tells me to express my opinion on life or anything. I'm like dad, my opinion on life is too big to put in words so that it will be finished while i'm still young. I start and before i finish my first word my dad interupts and rabbles on and on again how i'm mad at him. I turn away from him onto my other side stating that im having a few cramps and he can keep talking if he wants. He takes it the wrong way and says oh well if u dont want to talk to me now then you'll never have time to talk to me. Go home. and i'm taking you home tomorrow(today) and your never comming back. Now i am in tears once again. I am very sensitive if ya havent noticed. But to make everything much shorter i went to sleep around 3 and woke back up around 6 quietly krept around the apartment gathering my belongings to leave. Went downstairs called my mom and she came to pick me up around 10. So the rest of today I was doing some work myself knowing its not what i'm supposed to be doing but u have to do what your mom says.
Day is almost over now and i'm chatting with Shelby and Kelsey and Doll happens to sign on. I dont even have to go through my actions, ya'll already know what i do! LOL Within the next few min. ring ring my phone!! I knew it! she said she'd call she did!! HEHEhe! Doll said she was online only for a few min and she'd call me. I was in thin air!! Shelby was laughing at me cause she saw my reaction when the phone rang.. Talked to Doll for a few moments then she had to go and I am here in all smiles. Perfect way to end my day. One of my many special friends gives me a call. No interuptions but one and it was minor. whoohoo!!
