Ghost or spirit: You are a lost soul. Very calm and
sweet, you are often the one who asks: What if?
With a clever mind, you want to explore the
world on a different level. Without the
answers, you aren't ready to move on. You are
most likely very creative and find yourself
thinking things through on a different level.

You, my friend are a true individual. You most
likely hate trends and are creative. By seeing
things differently, people either admire you or
think you are a bit strange. I'm guessing you
are a lot like me. Perhaps a Good Charlotte
hater? I hope so. An inspiration to us all,
continue being you! (If you like GC, I'm sorry,
I am just expressing an opinion)

Rain: You are the sound of rain. You have two
important sides. There is your strong, powerful
side and your calm, gentle side. Both are very
important. Rain also reflects a bit of darkness
in your personality. It isn't bad, just shows
that along with the good, you also can see bad,
which can come in handy. (please rate my quiz)

So I've been thinking and I realized that exercise really does tend to make you (or at least me) a happier person. I was always told to exercise when I was feeling depressed but I never really took it seriously because I'm a generally active person but I also still have a rather depressive personality.

In dance though, it's different. I enjoy dance, I'm always happy to be there and I'm happier coming out of class. It's a great energy and mood lifter. I think it's the almost every day thing. When I exercise three times a week I don't have that energy lift. Now that it's four times a week I'm happier. Also, this is a longer span of time. I'm already used to twenty minute work outs three times a week. Bah. Have to go now. Young Marines.

I'm not sure who makes me more uncomfortable, my Nino Ricky's wife, his older daughters, or my cousin Josh's wife Lily.

Ricky's wife doesn't talk. I mean, she's worse than I am. I was there watching Bubba, Darlene, and Dana for about two hours and the entire time she didn't say a word to me. I thought I was antisocial but this lady is like a misanthrope. You'd think that because her own kid was out there (Dana, Darlene and Bubba are my cousin Josh's kids) she'd pay some sort of attention. Nope, she barely even looked at me while I was out there.

Then there are the older daughters. I'm not sure if they realize that I'm older than they are by about 4-6 years. I mean, one of them (it's hard to tell them apart) asked me if I could hold her bag of chips after she had thrust them into my hand. Now, I'm sometimes a stickler for rudeness but I think most people would be annoyed by that. Especially since I've only seen the kid maybe five times in my entire life. It's possbile that she just saw me as a peer and that's how she treats her friends but I certainly hope that's not the case. I'd get rather annoyed if one of my friends just shoved something into my hands. Granted, I doubt any of them would so it's not really a problem.

Lily is just plain rude. The woman is about the bitchiest I have ever met aside from Carina. She's one of those ladies who you can tell hates the family she married into. I'm not even sure why she did marry Josh. I always feel bad for him because he gets yelled at by everyone except for Aunt Ruby. It's not really his fault, he's a little on the slow side. That's not his fault either, my uncle Joe and aunt Ruby didn't really do what they should have when he was little. More Uncle Joe than Aunt Ruby but they have their other problems that I can't even begin to understand.

Christ. The sad part is that it's not even just these people that make me feel weird. It's my entire family almost but these are the three worst. I'm relatively comfortable around my cousin Manuel but he gets on my damned nerves. Sometimes I'm OK with Vannessa. She's actually my favorite but we don't know each other that well. I'm like the little cousin she hangs out with sometimes. Samantha is irritating even though she's closer to my age. She's one of those girly, popular girls and she's a bit spoiled. I like my Uncle David even if I don't know him or his family that well. He's just a cool guy. Like my Aunt Ruby and Aunt Stella. They're all laid back and really nice. Actually, those are the only people in my family I'm semi-comfortable around. Ruby, Stella, Vannessa, and David. Man. This is probably why I like my friends more than my family.

Esteban is engaged. I feel like everything just fell apart. He's engaged. He's going to be married. To Temi. I hate Temi. Damnit.

This is one of those times when I really want to be numb. I just want to go on and be apathetic. I can't seem to focus on anything else.

I have a speech due tomorrow that I haven't even started on. I'm just going to drop the class. I get the feeling that I'm slipping into a depression again and there's no way I'm going to be able to focus enough for a writing course. Dance is going to be the one thing that keeps me going.

God. He's engaged. I didn't even realize it until now but I still like him. I always did. It's just really easy to ignore when I don't see or hear from him. Now everything has exploded and I feel like shit. I didn't think depression could hit this phase. And I've been pretty depressed.

I need to just go to sleep. Then I can wake up and hopefully I'll be a bit more numb. If I can get through the first two hours I'll be ok. After that I have dance and that's enough to bring my mood up to at least a normal level. I hope.

Dullness

Wed, 31 Dec 2003 08:34:54 GMT

I have no idea what I'm writing about. I just happen to be increadibly bored. There isn't anything to do.

Dustin is this huge jackass at times. What the hell am I writing about Dustin for? He was never a jackass, actually he was about the coolest character on earth. Yet I just said he can be a jackass. Sometimes I don't understand myself.

I'm not stopping to think while I type this. I'm just typing whatever comes to my head. It's a bit weird. I just need something to do.

Donovan seems like he'll be awesome. Another character. He just seems like one of those cool people. Leather jacket wearing type. Not a bike rider though. Has a black mustang. 67 of course. Like I know anything about cars. Whatever. Donovan has a black mustang. He lives in LA like all the rest of my characters. Just because it's easier for me to visualize. I might make up a city just for the hell of it but it'll be based on LA.

I'm bored now. Might go to bed. We'll see.

Velcome

Darn student exchange is going to make me go through a year of college before I can go to Ireland. It's so not fair. I'm just going to work on going to an Irish boarding school instead.

Or I can go to France for a semester, Spain for summer and then Ireland for the 2004-2005 school year. We'll see.
