Blueberries and raspberries. Sprinkled with shredded coconut. Drizzled with agave nectar. Bathed in fresh, raw vanilla mint almond milk.
I'm amazing.

On Saturday I went to a party. Aunt Donna ordered two pepperoni pizzas and a bucket of mild wings. Cameron taught everyone to play "Bud" and made a keytar out of Niki's keyboard and Christian's Guitar Hero... guitar handle thing. I danced until 8am with Aunt Donna while she told me about how fucked up she was, and was amazed (about ten times) at how we're both first sopranos. Chris, Devin, and Nick headbanged like the whole time. Christian went to bed before like 3am. Niki made tacos forever. Brandon passed out inside the house and was curled in a ball and laughing hysterically. He was the only one in the room. Everyone took pictures. Aunt Donna nearly fell in the fire, but was caught by Uncle Ray (while sticking her arm out and shouting,"Save my beer!" Devin threw up Chinese food and made sure everyone knew that it was because of how drunk he was. He also gave me a pretty stone (tiger's eye). I fell asleep on a really cool Tempurpedic imitation thing on the floor around 8:30am and woke up around 3pm.
I like parties.
Sunday, I saw Pirates of the Caribbean for the first time (yes, the first time). Aunt Donna ordered two pepperoni pizzas and a bucket of mild wings. Again. I cleaned up Aunt Donna's yard and made an art project out of the bottles. Me, Devin, and Chris played with bamboo. Devin smiled into a bucket of chicken. Aunt Sandy gave me a ride home, I took a shower, and slept like a rock.
Today, I played a bit of SyrupTales, found a really fascinating (and sad) journal that's quite nearly a novel, and "played legos" with Cameron. We did actually play with pink legos, that's just not ALL we did. *wink wink* We are so talented. I love us. Mostly him. XD And he drove me to the store to get green smoothie supplies, and they were OOOOUT, so I had to get romaine. I got an orange to try to make up for my lack-of-spinach sadness. And I got Cameron to eat blueberries and he liked them! ^-^ Well. The big, sweet ones at least. But it's a start! I nearly cried with joy! BLUBURRIES!
My mom came out here a half hour ago, all sleepy and looking utterly confused.
"What are you doing? Go to bed."
I think I shall.

I've got goodies from Cameron's Connecticut trip. Including Swedish cookies. That were made in Canada. XD
And some activities I'm sure he'd prefer I not mention.
Now...!
>;D
All our lives we chase the night like it's never-ending, you the sun and I the moon.
I'm so glad he's back. He really is my soulmate. He actually said to me today,"I feel like I've loved you for thousands of years." It moved me to tears. I'm not afraid of losing him anymore because I now realize that there is nothing stronger than what holds us together. I feel safe now, knowing that if I ever lose him, we'll soon find each other again. Whether in this life, or what lies after. Just as we have before.
But I'm sure you're not interested in my mush. XD
I have an appointment with my dentist tomorrow at five. Before then, I'm probably going to be putting away lots of laundry, and making my ripped-knee pants really cute. And making another green smoothie.
Me and Niki made our very first green smoothie two days ago! ^-^ And it was DELICIOUS! We're amazing. And Chris is insane for not liking berries. But he likes other fruit, so I won't get angry. XD
The one I made today had:
- 1 apple
- 1 nectarine
- 1 handful of blueberries
- 1 tbs coconut oil
- 1 metric shit-ton greens
It wasn't as sweet as I was hoping, but that's because I saved half of my blueberries for today, so it's easily fixable. And my blender can get rid of all the colorful bits. But since it's old, it gets hot easily and makes my smoothie kind of warm, which I dislike. But, overall, it was good. Definitely like the coconut oil in there. But I wouldn't add more than a tablespoon because it overpowers the other fruit flavors a bit. I missed the banana. But it still had a nice, creamy texture without it. I was concerned about that.
I'm also going to apply at Giant Beagle, since I go there so much. And maybe that one Azn Fewd place by the nail place where the azns work. XD A place within walking distance to Niki's would be neat 'cause I wouldn't have to avoid scheduling peep hangs on days I have to work. Plus I could probably get me and Niki discounts on organic numnums and pokeymanz. I'm getting Niki a booster pack when I get my first paycheck. She's bought me way too much stuff. All those candy bars. XD
I also had a surprisingly long conversation with Nick (Niki's boyfriend) after she fell asleep. It was funny, because I've never really talked to him before, but we discussed at length the two taboo conversation topics... religion and politics, and really nothing else. Besides a bit about smoking, careers, and his mom, and Uncle Joe. Niki fell asleep around 6am, and we didn't finish talking until after 8am. About religion and politics. LMFAO It's funny how the most controversial things are anything but when open-minded people discuss them, even if they've never talked before. He taught me about how the new world order is gonna kick our asses, and I taught him about how cool and not evil paganism is. XD CPS FTW!
Also. Niki, are you working Saturday? During the party? Pliss let me know.

While it is a day meant to celebrate our "freedom" from a much better country, I must try to remind myself that I should be happy about it, because if my ancestors had not come to this land and "mingled" with the natives, I would not be here to type this. Shame they won the war though, eh? Thanks anyway, guys.
Sorry it's been so long. First I spend like an entire week at Niki's, and was simply having too much fun (AND WALKING TOO MUCH. HOLY SHIT.) to type. Then after I got back home, my mom decided I don't do enough chores to deserve internet access. Fine, mother. I won't use the computer. But don't come complaining to me when you're sad because you pay all this money out every month for absolutely no reason.
Anyway, I managed to get it back two days ago (after spending the entire day pulling weeds and mowing the lawn) but I just couldn't be bothered to type until now.
So, during my week at Niki's (more or less) I experienced many things. There was walking. And some more walking. Lots of penises and drunk girls. (Aunt Sandy's bachelorette party.) Dancing ALL night (ending around 6am when I went for a walk). Getting invited to an Autumnal Equinox bonfire at my aunt's. A metric shit-ton of Pokemon. Pizza. Crisis. Parents sucking at being parents. Rain. Sun. Waiting four hours for Wendy's to open and then deciding not to take Devin's money. Sitting awkwardly while Devin and Chris ate. Walking. Getting invited to the bridal shower at 10pm. Tv shows about fat people. Being Aunt Sandy's "amateur nutritionist" until the wedding. About six more shit-tons of pokemon. Spending ten years trying to get a ride to the store. Flat tire. Walking in the rain. At night. Imagining being pulled over for weaving on the sidewalk. Hiding my cards for fear of them being stolen. Along with everything else I brought over. The Espeon-Charmeleon incident. Niki, the fairest bitch of them all. XD Amazing water from Iceland. Strawberries. Blueberries. Making the best blueberry pancakes ever with Niki. Poo that looked like charcoal from eating so many blueberries... and that's probably a good place to stop.
I felt a bit slow for not realizing it earlier, but I've figured out what I want to do with my life... as far as a first career goes. I'm going to be a nutritionist. I've been interested in how food affects the body since like sixth grade when my mom took interest in Somersizing (Suzanne Somers' weight loss eating plan), and over the last year or so I've become completely obsessed with natural health. And people are always asking me, you know, "Is this healthy? What about this?" And I'm always trying to push my views about food on other people, so what better job would the be for me than telling people what to eat?! XD!!! I just can't believe it took me so long to figure out. It wasn't until I started planning stuff with Aunt Sandy that it really clicked.
The problem was, though, that my college didn't have a program for that. So, I started researching and in just a few hours I found my dream school. It's an online school, so I wont have a schedule to work around when I try to get a job (SOON). It's almost the same price as Land O'Lakes. EVERY class is directly related to the career. There are no pointless unrelated requirements. You can work at your own pace, so as long as I can afford it, I can finish up faster. Anyway, it's called Clayton College of Natural Health. It's accredited by a credible-looking source, though the accreditor is not on the U.S. Department of Education's list. That doesn't mean that the material and degrees are not legitimate, though. It ony means that graduates of the college won't be able to participate in certain federally sponsored events that require the title (Ph.D., etc.) they earned there. I looked through the list and there isn't even an accreditor there that's for nutrition in any way shape or form. Fuck you, Department of Education. You and your love o'drugs. I may become an herbalist too.
I also met a lovely dragonfly when I was weeding the front flowerbed. I really wish I'd never sat on my camera. I still can't afford to get a new one yet. I don't even know if I'll be able to afford my books for school. My mom offered to help me with my books a few weeks back if I couldn't afford it. I may have to use the $150 that Cameron gave me for graduation to use for an emergency. The tuition is quite literally all of my savings. I'll have thirty-five dollars left. So now I can't even get a laptop yet. Gimme dat jarb.
I've started doing yoga again. I've finally managed to get myself on a... not quite NORMAL, but rather, an EARLIER sleeping schedule. I've been waking up in time to do this yoga program that's on at 6am on the Oxygen network, called Inhale. I discovered it after staying up all night watching infomercials one new years eve (or rather, day) a few years back. I would stop for different reasons. Either I'd have to go to school half way through, or they would replace it for a while with Xena, or I just couldn't bother to get up that early, etc., etc. For the last year though, my main reason was that my wrist has grown this big crazy bump, and it would hurt when I did poses that require you to put your hands on the floor put weight on them. But, I'm managing to do it without much discomfort, and I'm convinced that it's going to go away. I thought so for a long time, just because it would fluctuate in size, sometimes shrinking. But when Niki's mom mentioned yoga when we were talking about stress last week, I showed her and she said she had the exact same thing and it went away (after some years, but still).
Also, I walked to the library last week (which took about an hour) and picked up a couple books.

I hate that my enemies are so accessible. I want to be able to just forget about them. The problem is, we had friends in common. So now, when I go to some of my friends' profiles she's just staring at me from the Top 8 box, grinning. Letting me know that I still haven't escaped her.
At least she's last in the box, and I'm ahead of her. But my picture is right next to hers. But it's just a picture of blueberries in the shape of a smile, so I guess that's okay for now.
Anyway, once I saw her staring at me, I had to look at her profile. I couldn't resist. I had to check up on her. I kept hoping I'd find out something awful happened to her, that she finally got what she deserved after what she did to me.
What I found out was:
- She has friends.
- She hasn't gotten fat.
- She's still with Creepy Paul, which could be good or bad depending on how you look at it. (He's a really ugly manwhore.)
- She's going to be a nurse, which fits her fucking PERFECTLY. (Dumb slut who just wants money, but can't commit enough to become a doctor, and would rather just sleep with them.)
- She hasn't died or come down with some horrible disease.
- She still has really bad acne and nasty teeth.
- She still writes.
I'm not satisfied.

I love you, Cameron. You're the boy who saved my life, and the man who made it worth living.
