New President In office

Hey, Am I the only one who thinks it's racist for the first black president of our nation to put a (never before seen) tax on sun-tan stuff. I mean, REALLY? *face-palm*

BLOOD!!!!!

AHHHH!!!! I'm gonna donate blood tomorrow. I do not have a phobia of needles. I do not have a phobia of needles. I do not have a phobia of needles. I do not have a phobia of needles. I do not have a phobia of needles. No really, I do not have a phobia of needles. I've had so many shots and crap that it's not the needles I don't like, it's the pulling feeling. But anyway, I have about a million things to do and I really shouldn't be on here but I like messing with the settings and writing about things that piss me off. :) So, I will retreat back into my scheduled little world and try try try to keep up. :)

These days...

Here recently I've been getting majorly busy. I have a college course I almost dropped cuz i started out three weeks behind and several honors and AP courses AND I may do One-Act Play this year. Also, I am trying to learn spanish... This does not include applying for colleges and scholorchips and endless other nitpicky things that must be done by a certain appointed date. I am so busy I cannot hardly see straight. My mother is trying very hard to stay out of my way and let me work but my brother is a selfish a** and can't mind his own business to save his life. How unfortunate for him... Oh! and I got a Wii!! It's really fun but it's distracting me from the endless hours of crap I have to do every day. At least I got the ACT and SAT behind me. AGAIN!!! I am so ready to graduate so I can get the hell outta this routine I had to make for myself and do something fun for a change. AH! I still need to start on a passport! OMG I AM GOING TO SCREAM!

Twitter and Facebook and FAP? Oh, my!

I have a Twitter and a Facebook now. I'm still working with both of them. I've had alot of homework lately so not much free time. I haven't checked my YouTube in a while but thats because my dad keeps FAPing us. What is FAP, you may ask? Apparently, it's a stupid thing some part of the government cooked up called Fair Access Policy. It only allows you to download a certain number of MB in a day. I can see why they needed it and why it's important but that does not make it any less annoying. If you go over your set # of MB, your internet slows to a crawl, almost a screeching halt, and it does not allow you to download anymore, it doesn't even tell you when you go over! There's a few bugs they could fix. But anyway, YouTube is the world's worst at dowloads, everytime you watch a video, you temporarily download it, in case you didn't know. Oy!

Today

Ok. I'm tired. Bubba is getting better all the time. He's bleeding again though. That concerns me, but he seems to be otherwise healthy and he has a lot of energy. Like I said, I'm really tired. I had to get up at 5:00 this morning so I could wash my hair before school. It's kind of fluffy but I'm finding it hard to care. School is fine. It's hard though. I have a test in physics today. That's fine, it's just math. I just hope I'll be awake enough to take it. ugh. This is bad. I can feel my conciousness slipping away. I have english next period, I can't sleep in English, I have work to do. Oy. Ok. I'm done with my mini-rant. I'm gonna go check my facebook and twitter. See if I have to do anything else today.

New Phone!

Well, it is now the 3rd week of school. I am a little behind, but I'll have a little time later to catch up. I'm caught up in the classes that don't take late work at least. I've got some new organization methods that should help me and keep me from getting any further behind. Anyway, Today is labor day, as you may know, and guess where I am? School. Apparently, we have more vacation time down the road so we have to come today. *shrugs* Oh! I had the Alltell Scoop phone for about two years and had to pull the warranty on it about 5 times, so about the fifth time, I decided that I was done. Verizon told me that they were going to have to switch me over to a verizon phone and I had no problem getting rid of that **!@##$#$ Scoop. Now I have an enV Touch and it is awesome! I am having so much fun playing with it, I have barely put it sown since I got it. Oh! and the day that I got it, my cat decided that it was a new mouse, and drug it off. That silly cat drags off the bread, chips, paper cups, paper towels... she digs in the trash can for things she can drag off! She drags them all the way to my parents' bedroom and cries, and yells, and screams, until someone comes in, picks it up, patts her on the head, and praises her for her gift. X)

On another note... That sick dog I had that was living at my grandmothers, that nearly died of kidney stones, that stopped eating and lost most of his bodyweight... He is no longer at my grandmothers. ... He's living with me now. My mom took pity on him and let me bring him home! At first, he was only to live outside and outside the fence on the porch. Then, he was only to live outside, but he could live on the porch. Then, he was allowed to come in and eat but nothing else. Then, he could sleep in the house, but only with me, in my bed and nothing else. Finally, I came home one day and couldn't find him outside. After thoroughly panicking, I decided to go inside and see whether mom had seen him anywhere. I said, "Where's my dog?!?" and my little sister came in from the other room carrying him. I was relieved, ticked, and happy all at the same time. Mom had brought him in the house. No real reason, just cuz he wanted in. LOL. so cool.

Withdrawl symptoms? NOT!

Okay, it's the second week of school and tomorrow is the first official football game. I just bought my little sister and me tickets and I'm sitting here right now drinking coffee. The coffee is good, but I'm without a phone today! I'm not exactly happy right now. My aunt went and picked up my new phone yesterday. My early 18th birthday present from my mom. Anyway, she picked it up, got all the accessories for it... and Activated it. This made my current phone absolutely useless. The first time ever I have five bars in my house, and none of the texts go through. Lovely. So now, I have to get everything transferred over to this new phone via memory card, I have no idea what was in the bundle pack she bought me, and I can't text her to find out. Lol, but seriously...

These Days...

I get to bring Bubba home! He's my little Pekenese. He stopped eating when I would leave and would run into the house to look for me. He was so pitiful that my mom gave in and let me keep him at home. I think she's warming up to him, she shaved him and gave him a bath today. She won't let him stay in the house, but I'm working on it. One thing at a time. It's almost time for school again. I'm gonna go pick up my schedule at school on Thursday. Then school starts the 24th. I also need to pick up a backpack. Something big with wheels would be nice. That's about it. I just made a quiche. It was really good.

I think I have captured the reason for teenage rebellion. The reason everyone has a problem with teenagers. As a child, if you are raised "right", you know that you must do everything the adults tell you to do, with a smile on your face, whether you want to do it, or not. When you reach a certain age, that smile falters. You suddenly realize that you don't have to something if you don't want to. You ask yourself why you are doing this for people who don't even want you to speak. Eventually, the fear is gone. That childhood fear that everyone has is just gone and you are left with resentment, but you are a 'child' and children aren't supposed to hate doing things for adults so you let that resentment build. Until one day, whether you actually think it or not, you stop doing things with a smile and you start showing this thing they call "attitude". You don't want to do something so either you won't, or you show clearly that you don't. Adults resent this, apparently forgetting that they had the same "ah-ha" moment, if you will. the Joined resentment creates a rift. This is the root of the problem between teenagers and adults. See, adults don't want children to have an opinion. "They don't know anything, they're too young." "ignore her, she's just being contrary". When a teenager hits 16 or so, they start to see themselves as equals to adults. But to adults, they are still just a child. I am almost 18. I have let everyone walk all over me. This is when I say "No more". There will be no more suckering me into doing things I don't want to or can't do. I will not feel bad about it. I have an opinion, and I will state it when I feel that it is necessary. I don't mind doing things for my parents or family, but there comes a time when your needs have to come first, when you're fed up. People have to uinderstand this. This is not all about me. It is a cycle and it needs to stop. I'm tired of people thinking that they can just push me to do anything. I'm frustrated. I'm tired. I'm fed up. I'm done.

Pigeon

I forgot to tell you. I rescued a pigeon. I know what you're thinking. "A pigeon?!? Why would you rescue one of those? " But listen, I can't see an animal suffer without doing something about it. Some kids were kicking it around after it seemingly broke it's wing and it developed heatstroke after they left it in the sun. I picked it up and put it in a box, then I took it home. It turned out that it still had pinfeathers. It needed water, a cool place, and to be syringe fed some high-protein, highly nutritional feed for a few weeks to treat the heat stroke, and to accelerate the healing of its wing. The bird began recovering immediately and was flapping his wings about after a week or so. I felt that keeping him in the cage was restricting and unnecessary. So, I took him out and let him go with some other pigeons around a large pond, away from my dogs and cats. He still shows up there from time to time. We banded him.

What's New

Okay, I haven't been on for awhile because I've been taking care of my dog. Remember when someone dognapped him? Well, the near worst did happen. He (surprise, surprise) caught an infection from being without his prevenative medication for too long and from being outside too soon after his surgery with an open incision wound. Okay, now that we've estabolished what caused the infection... I've had to take full time care of him because the infection caused him to stop eating. He lost almost 50% of his bodyweight and all but for the last 2 weeks or so, I've been spoonfeeding him his food. He has 2 liquid medications, one to treat the infection, one to treat his malnutrition. He's on a special combination of expensive prescription food, wet and dry. All food and medication need to be given every 12 hours. I've been working with him and I think he's beginning to gain some weight and he's no longer dehydrated. This is especially good because they were going to put him down if he didn't gain weight soon enough. I might be able to save him after all.
