My family on my mom's side is really big. My grandparents had twelve kids, twenty-eight grandkids, and two great-grandkids (and counting!). Pretty much all my cousins on my mom's side are frickin' straight-A perfect people. On top of that, I have a bunch of cousins with black belts in tae kwon do, gym regulars, track-team stars, hockey … Continue reading Support
Updates That Came To Mind
My schedule goes a bit haywire during breaks from school. There's no regular schedule anymore, so on a day like today I'll just stay home and play computer games with messy hair and glasses and tomorrow I'll have a dentist appointment, catch up over coffee with an old high school teacher, and then go to … Continue reading Updates That Came To Mind
Everything
It can be the most awkward thing running into someone from high school who you don't really know well enough to say hi to.

Coming in Summer 2015
My summer schedule is quickly filling up. Not only am I still working on my bedroom, looking at possible summer jobs, and hoping to fit in some classes, but there's also the possibility of a few day trips, some camping, and other summer-y things.

Friends and Family

You know when you look up a word and find the definition and then YOU START TO SEE IT EVERYWHERE. Before, it was just a word, but then you became aware of it, you understood it, and it ruined your life. I've recently discovered it's a lot worse when you become aware of something about yourself.

Another Bad Day?
No. Actually, today was fucking awesome. I got up early, took a shower, cleaned my room a bit, printed out my homework and even had time to grab breakfast all before class. And my alarm clock was doing the thing where the little hammer gets stuck and it doesn't ring at all, so I could've … Continue reading Another Bad Day?
Censorship
I have an issue to talk about today: Censorship. Not like the North Korea kind. My kind. How much should I censor myself? Occasionally, there is swearing on this blog. Nothing crazy, but it happens. I don't add stars to it either. There's no such thing as f*ck. Vowels are important and shouldn't be left out. … Continue reading Censorship
