Cold

It's cold out. It's 30 out. And it has been all day. Just warning you.

I babysit tonight, even though it's Tuesday. I don't know if I do tomorrow as well. If I do, that's awesome. :3

Also, who thinks I should move this to tumblr? Just a thought...

I kind of wished I made more money. I want to move out of my house. A lot of things bother me about living here. I'm mooching off of my parents, I have to deal with my brother, I have to sacrifice a lot just living here...

If I were to move out, by default, I would have plates, LOTS of cups, sheets, blankets, possibly a Christmas Tree... I have a laptop, maybe a tv. My video games, a dresser, a cart to store stuff, a mattress and bed frame and box spring, I can cook, I can clean... When it's mine or my area, I love keeping it clean...

I could go to the laundro-mat and do laundry, I can wash dishes by hand, towels aren't expensive...

But rent is. In this area, rent is about $800 a month for a crummy apartment. I couldn't do it alone, especially on my income of $280 a month, give or take. I need a job. But even if I do, it would have to be at least 40 hours a week on minimum wage. And I'd have roughly $300 on food and other things for the entire month. So it's nearly impossible to do it alone. D: But I don't know anyone willing to work with me on this in the area. :/ So it looks like I'm stuck.

So, there was a Christmas on Main St. on Walden on my mom's birthday. It was lame, but there was a petting zoo near a manger...

Yeah, you guys aren't missing much in Walden. Had a St. Baldrick's meeting finally.

Can't wait til you guys come home.

I voted.

It was cool.

10pm. 33 degrees out.


Babysit 8-12:30pm every morning on weekdays. Split time and money with my sister. $50 a week after split.

And babysitting Wednesdays still. Which means $70 a week. Win.

OMGAWD

The hell is wrong with me? This was last updated at the end of JULY. FFFFFF-

Anyways, hai guys. I should have so updated this earlier, especially around Walden day. (Though without my ghetto Walden peeps, it was a downer, though I got to see Meg the day before!)

And,

... Miss Kate Harris wants me to update this blog. Couldn't she wa- eehhh. She waited long enough.

So, I was so going to update this EARLIER, until I made a bunch of stuff for COOKIE MONSTER! I dunno, I meet these awesome people and it's over. D: I figured maybe this way, I can make more friends.

So, lately,I've been playing Pokemon and drawing Pokemon. My PS2 and X-box are under some of my sister's clothes. And her dresser is covered as well, so I don't wanna dump them on the floor. Cookie is on the floor but I'm moving him to my hamper soon.

The con was alright. I didn't do much and when I was about to, my sister wanted to leave. >_<

Bought the Brentalfloss CD.

Paperboy with Lyrics.

"I'm on my bike perpetually. I lay in my bed. Bike lays with meee! ;D"

"Now it's Sunday, I am done, I’m out. Fuck these nutbags, fuck this paper route. I’m gonna get a job at Wal-mart."

LULZ. xDD

Umm... Want to write again. Warm up for NaNoWriMo. (National Novel Writing Month) Write 50,000 words by month's end.

I'm NOT doing one of my stories. I want to get the feel of how much I have to write, so I' writing something random, no one's gonna be able to read it, kay?

Thinking of stuff to write...

OH, Florida... Palm trees were real and the water was BLUE. WTF. xD It was so nice though! I should try and go again. It was like, $500-$600 to go down there AND A CON INCLUDING HOTEL, FOOD and my share of the gas. Purchased about $70 in items at the con, saw a movie and bought 2 video games AND STILL HAD MONEY LEFT OVER. But it's honestly up to John.

Ha, I remember when we were on day 2 of driving down, I pulled out my MP3 player and played "I Gotta Feeling". Get it? "That tonight's gonna be a good night." And we were heading to Florida?

Anyway, Florida was nice and I would have loved to stay more. The people were awesome too!

Ok, for the moment, I dunno what to say so I'm gonna go and draw more. I WILL UPDATE AGAIN SOON, KAY?! Kay.

An update of sorts.

I hope everyone had fun yesterday! :D I did!

And the cake was good. O: If anyone wants to come over, hang out and eat more cake, BE MY GUEST! :3 It's good cake.

My parents are going to a wedding tonight, so I'm watching Gurren Lagann. It really is good for a mecha anime! The mechs run on fighting spirit, so it's directed at people a lot, and you like some of them right off the bat. I guess I'll finish it soon because it's not long. And I have nothing else to do.

My birthday is Wednesday, Meg's coming over. That's all I really have planned before waking up at 7am the next day, showering, eating and waiting downstairs for John. :3

My mom showed me how to get onto facebook on my phone, so I'll be updating my status from time to time to let you know what's up until we get there, kay?

Also, babysitting did NOT call me in today. D< I still needed $20 for food for 2 weeks! And the last 2 weeks was money for whatever I wanted. That didn't exactly work. And I babysit on my birthday. O: So I'll have enough money for food at least. :I BUT ALL IS WELL.

I still can't believe I'm doing this. I mean, it won't hit me til I get in the car and we're out of state. I can just see myself getting hyper and that helping John stay awake. :3 I'm gonna call my uncle I'm staying with and remind him that we're coming, see how he's doing.

I'm gonna do laundry before I leave so I have as much clothes as possible. I may or may not have to do laundry when I'm down there. I can try and see if I can find some spare clothes that fit I can take with me so I don't have to.

And also, Cookie. I'm bringing Cookie Monster, though I don't know if I should bring my other cosplay or not. O: I mean, I totally could, easily. But I'm just not sure if I SHOULD. Dx

WELL, I'll have my phone so contact me any time. I'm bringing my camera and rechargeable batteries and my laptop. I'll have tons of pics!

Can't wait. :3

Dun DUN DUUUUUN!!!

Yes, another update already. Don't be too surprised, something just happened today and there's something I have to say. I also want to stress that I don't want ANYTHING REPEATED. Everything I put here, I am putting here because all my friends are on Skype. And all my family is on facebook. I'm not putting this on facebook for a reason.

First off, I was sitting in my bed at about 6pm and I heard a noise. After investigating and looking where my kitty was looking, I saw a small hole in my window. There are pics. I did NOT put them on facebook, ask me and I can send them to you. Either on Skype or I have a really nice one on my phone.

Anyway, it looks like a bb gun was shot at the house. There's leaves in the way, so they probably weren't paying attention like idiots. But I mean, really. Come on. That's just STUPID.

I don't want to keep re-telling the story, so read it here. And I remind you to not repeat this.

THIS PART, I REALLY DON'T WANT REPEATED. Ms. Jacqueline Brown and Ms. Kate Harris (Yes, I just used your 'in trouble' names) I don't want this second part repeated. You may talk to me about it. You may NOT tell the family or your boyfriends. If they are there, make them not look. (That's mostly for my sister)

I've come to a conclusion, a big decision. I won't tell the family on facebook until AFTER I come back to Florida. It's a big thing for me, probably not overall.

Within the next 10 years of my life, I want to accomplish something. Before I am 30, I want to save up money and spend a month's time in Ireland and England. I want to travel, but only to places where I know the language. I want to go to Ireland like many members of my family. I want to see England and enjoy the culture. I want to go to the place where my grandfather lived and see the beauty that is Ireland. I want to meet my friends I've made over the internet in England. I hear my one friend from Australia is moving to England, this is quite the opportunity.

I want to LIVE. My mother told me that she is jealous of what I am doing. Going to Florida to see friends, going on a road trip and living while I had the chance. She got married when she was young and had a kid... My oldest brother, George, she told me she loves that he's enjoying life right now. He's an idiot with some things he's doing, but he's HAVING FUN. She planned on visiting Ireland on her 25th anniversary, which has come and gone just this month...

I don't want to be like that. I want to try and get my parents to Ireland one year, but first, I want to do it for me. I want to and NEED to have fun while I have this chance! We all do! I certainly don't want to go alone, will you come with me?

I mean, think about it. We can see Big Ben, the Blarney Stone, the hills of Ireland, the beautiful waters of the ocean, the streets, the experience... The chance we're given... It'll take YEARS to save up and prepare for this trip. But I want to do it! And it will be so much more fun if I had people with me. If people experienced this with me.

This is a biiiig bomb I'm dropping, I know. But it'll still be a few years. Maybe 6, I'm hoping. When I'm 25, I can go out. That's not too old. I can't wait, this is something I'm completely serious about.

This also means I'll be living in muck. By that, I mean I didn't go to college. I'm still figuring out things I can possibly do. I just feel uneasy about just... PICKING a life time career like that. I don't want to. And that sums up to, I DON'T WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE.

YES, I know I SHOULD go, but... really, I just... So whatever, I want to go to Ireland and England. I mean, I want to go and ENJOY myself. I just want to travel a bit, and I've barely left the state. The US doesn't seem to special to me. But, other countries, other cultures, THAT is what I want to experience. I know I can't be the only one.

I hope some, if any, of this sinks in. If you feel 'yes, I'd love to do that, but-' NO BUTS! Talk to me. Maybe you SHOULD. Just, take the chance while it's being given to you. This is a big commitment. Not like John and I going to Florida, it barely took planning and it was all done within just a few months. This is much bigger. And even if there are stops along the way you want to take, alright. They all don't have to be places I want to go. If you want to go somewhere too, alright! I just want a traveling partner that'll take funny pictures of me and with me at all the different places we'll go. I don't care about anything else.

<3 Sorry for all that ranting... It's just... I'm excited for Florida, you can't imagine how DESPERATELY I want to do this. But I can't go alone, I'll be too nervous, chicken out... If someone else is going, it won't be JUST FOR ME... It'll be for US. And I'll do it.

Love you guys.

Counting Down

22 Days until my birthday. 23 until Florida with John.

Meg was AWESOME and let me use her sewing machine. I made my cookie plushie. And my sign. This is awesome.

Everything is settling down. John and I paid for the hotel and purchased our AFO passes. My uncle gave me 2 addresses that should take him to his house on a GPS. (Apparently it's weird.) My other cousins are 2 hours away from him. Maybe if all is going well, John and I can stop by for a break and get a meal. (They offered.) Better than stopping and eating out. All up to John.

I am SO SUPER EXCITED to see Naro and Steve. Especially Steve. Don't take offense, Naro. I've seen you recently. I haven't seen him in FOREVAR!

I don't know what I should bring besides my DS and some clothes. Yo! Skype me a list of things? Or on Facebook? I'm bringing sunscreen. I WANT to bring Febreeze too!

ALSO, I might have to do laundry down there guys, you mind? And I MOST DEFINITELY will be taking a showah. Crap, I'm gonna need shampoo and conditioner too, huh?

ALSO, I'll help you guys clean up if it's messy in your apartment. AND I wanna bake a cake for me. It WILL be right after my birthday. SPEAKING OF, if all goes well, I should be having a party up here on the 23rd. We'll see.

I'm excited. I mean, I've never been to Florida! Will you guys show me around? Places you hang out? The arcade? Am I gonna meet some of your friends? I wanna knooowwwww!

~346 Days

It's almost been a year! ... Aww, the day I want my party, then it'll be 1 year since they left.

The world is against me

... Babysitting canceled tonight... and for the next 2 weeks.

THAT'S THE $60 PAYING TO FEED ME! D<

And now I have to ask the day before I leave, WHICH IS ALSO MY BIRTHDAY, I REMIND YOU.

That, and if I remind facebook enough, maybe I'll get cards for my birthday. And may be like, $10 if I'm lucky. My family is all broke and junk.

But that's me. I have enough money to pay for gas and the rest should be spending money. That's about $50. I kind of wanted to buy stuff at the con and go to the arcade and junk, but now that's food money. :I Laaaaame. But, I guess as long as I can go, right? Shouldn't complain.

And I wonder how things are going for John? I need to ask him when we're leaving and junk, I figured I'd wait til it got a little closer to the leaving date. We have 36 days.

SPEAKING OF THAT, 36 days and that's all I have hanging out with Crystal. I have some time when I get back from Florida to hang out with Meg.

And don't get me STARTED on my birthday party. I'm inviting friends over and we're just chilling. I'm not gonna drink anything else in my fridge and use the change in my room to put chips and soda, if it's enough. If not, then we're just hanging out and having fun. But it's better than nothing, riiiight guys? :3 Sorry we're incredibly poor in my family. I don't want my parent's paying for everything. They have a lot more to worry about. We have a troll in the basement that has a black whole for a stomach.


BUT DESPITE MONEH TROUBLES, I do have enough for half a yard of fleece. It will be turned into a cookie plushie. Then I need a paint stick and some card stock for an OM NOM NOM sign. These are things I always wanted for my cookie outfit. Since I'm just about there and done with it, why not, right?

And Skies of Orlandia will be a blast. I'm bringing my camera and rechargable batteries and my laptop. My old youtube account is locked up and god knows what the password is. It's nothing I made it as, trust me. :/

OH WELL! I still need to hang out with my NY peeps before chillin' down in the FL. xD I am soooo not black.

Love you lots, thanks for letting me vent. :3
