Go Right Not Left

January 31, 2010 – 11:20 pm

Opening my fortune cookie from the Chinese food that I ate for dinner, a great fortune came out. One that fits me well. A fortune that I should really focus on and listen to. Looking back I realize most of the trouble I got in was because someone else was leading and I just ended up following them. Not thinking about the situation and just acting. Which is very bad! Especially, coming from a person who always says be yourself and don’t follow others. I should really start listening to my own advice. Thats what you need to do when you hit a situation where you know its wrong but people are urging you to do it. Listen to yourself. You know if something is wrong or right. That gut feeling you get is most likely correct so stop ignoring it. Turn it up and listen to it. Dont just do something to fit in. Stand out! Thats what I probably like about you. Be you and there will always be people who love you for that. I will stick with being me and continue going down the right road instead of the wrong one.

I walked into my moms room yesterday and this is how they were sleeping. My mom wasnt happy about me taking a photo but I could not resist. Isnt it so cute?!

Be You And Only You

January 22, 2010 – 12:23 am

Have you ever forgotten who you really are? The person that is inside and not out? Sometimes (even a lot of the time) we are someone who we are not. At least at my age it seems to be a big deal about who you are and if you will be accepted. If you are slightly different and dont like something you can end up being looked at weirdly. How do I know? I am very different from everyone but really everyone is. It use to bother me being different. It is like why dont they like me and why do they put down for what I like? The thing I had to realize is there is nothing wrong with what interests I have and that there are people who like me for me. Dont be someone who you are not just to fit in. Be you. You will find people who will like you for you and that is what matters

College Not Needed

January 15, 2010 – 12:54 am

Walking into my school you enter a community of teenagers that all push to go to the best colleges out there. To impress and fit in. To discover who they are or to make their parents proud. It seems like when you are a senior, college is all you talk about. None stop. Personally, I hate the subject.

Do I plan on going to college? No, I dont. I know you all have something to say about that. Maybe how I should go. I might like it. Bla bla bla. I appreciate all your opinions and enjoy reading them but college is not my place. Why? I know what I want to do in life. Many teenagers my age dont but I have my passions. Plus, college would just be torturous for me. I want to get out in the world and experience it. That is how I will accomplish my dreams.

I would rather just get a job when I graduate. Pet sitting or something with dogs. Plus, I can always take a class to learn more about photography or dog training. I have always preferred working instead of school anyways. Its a known fact that a lot of kids just go to college to grow up. I can grow up in a job just as well. Also, a lot of teenagers are pressured into it by friends and family. I know how it is. Really, the only reason I was leaning towards college was because right now that is what makes you “cool” at this age. Saying your not going to college can make you feel like people do not think you are smart or will get far in life. Thats wrong though. I can get just as far or even farther as long as I push myself.

College is not for me. It is not my cup of tea. I visited a few of them and they just did not click. It is okay though. I have my mom’s support and her guidance. She is a mother who will help me if I dont go or if I do. My mom just wants me to be happy and succeed the best I can. So, right now there is no college in my plans. I prefer not to right now. It makes me stress if I feel like it is something I must do. I will show you that I can succeed with out it.

Dementia!!!

January 13, 2010 – 11:18 pm

My Grandma is one tough lady! So, we have known a long time ago that she suffered from dementia but just recently has it taken a big effect on her life. Beware if my grandma is in her demented upset mood do not get in her way because she might just hit you with her walker. Since her dementia has gotten to the red zone, where she doesnt know there is something wrong with her and she is being violent, we decided that the best choice for her was to send her to a hospital to help get her on some medication. It will help calm her anxiety and hopefully decrease her dementia without taking her spirit away. So, the next few weeks we will see how it all goes. Luckily, she still knows me and my mom but thinks her husband is alive. Let me just say with a disease like dementia you cant just be upset about it and let it bring you down. Yeah, it is sad to watch but it is something you just got to laugh at the stories she tells you because it is one of the best ways to cope with the situation.

Princess Goes To School

January 9, 2010 – 4:48 pm

It was more like Princess sneaks into school. So, yesterday I did not go to my technical school in the afternoon and two of my friends decided to spend time with me. The three of us walked to my house and of course Oliver and Lady were wary of them and barked but Princess was all friendly. Her face is so irresistable and loving. I decided I would walk back to school with them and take Princess to surprise my mom when she came to pick me up. When we got back to the school I thought it would be fun to sneak Princess in to meet my favorite counselor. Its Princess. My girl. The dog I always am talking about.

The challenge was how do I get this twenty five pound dog in the school without getting in trouble. So, I took my hoodie off and dressed her up in it. Princess looked like she was from da hood! It was cute and funny. She cooperated and just stayed still until i got in my counselors office. Princess has a lot of patience. Of course everyone there loved her. How can you not. She got smothered with love and she loved it. The best part was I told my mom to come to the counselors office so I could surprise her. First she thought it was someone else’s dog but then realized it was Princess. She was happy and confused about seeing Princess there.

I always wanted to bring Princess at least once into the school to meet my counselor since she loves animals. So, Princess and I accomplished that yesterday, If it was allowed I would bring Princess with me everyday and all day long but its not. She is my therapy dog. Helps me when I am down and is always there for me to hug and hold. I hope you all are staying snuggly warm in this cold weather and having a lovely fun weekend.

Cats

One Cat Love

January 6, 2010 – 10:44 pm

Look! Its Callie cat. I know a lot of you have been wondering how my feline is doing so I thought I would do a nice update about the only cat that has my heart. As most of you know I am not a cat person but Callie is one lucky girl because I fell in love with her from the very first day I saw her.

Callie is doing great. Right now she is curled up on my bed taking a cat nap. Ugh. That probably means by the time I go to bed she will be awake and romping around. Thats alright though. It use to keep me up but now I dont hear it as much unless she is knocking stuff off my shelves and down the stairs. Crazy cat. She is amazing though. Such a wonderful personality. A personality that works well for me. When I need comfort I can just hold her in my arms and she will lay there calmly. Then when I want to play she is all ready to be an active young cat and show off her skills. She can put a smile on my face with her cute curious look that she has. The one and only cat in my life. I love my Callie!

Back To School But Not For Long

January 5, 2010 – 12:16 am

Walking in to the school all cold and sleepy I really did not dread going back too much, surprisingly! Yes, of course I would of been just as happy staying curled up in bed and sleeping for a few more hours but school is something I must do and finish. Realizing that 2010 is the year I graduate and I am out forever makes me want to just go and get through it. Before I know it I will be out. Woohoo!

January 3, 2010 – 6:38 pm

Being only around 5 feet tall that is the reason why my nickname is funsize. From the very first time I heard it the name clicked. Its who I am. One day my mom was shopping and came across this shirt in a store. Its the perfect shirt for me. Its true. Im not short im funsize! In the future if I can handle the pain of getting tattoos I would like to get one that says funsize or forever funsize. So, what do you think of my shirt?
