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.

That's right, my lovelies-- my lovelies? Wtf? Anyways, that's right... er, yes. That's right, I've boiled once more! In the cutest little pot! It even had a tiny spoutlike triangle on the side for pouring. It was at Niki's/her boyfriend's family's/her dad's house. Where we peep hanged after our glorious adventures.
"What?! Adventures?! TELL ME!!!" I'm sure you're all saying.
Well. If you insist, then I shall.
It was a lovely day. As lovely as all of you little lovelies out there in computerland. And we ventured out into the great unknown that is my uncle's van. I clutched the handle, and with a deep but hesitant breath I STRUCK FORTH! Erm... pulled it. AND WHAT DID MY WONDERING EYES FIND, BUT THE FLOOR? Nothing. No seats. Then we went to Wendy's! Yay!
So, we went up to the college and Niki applied/got accepted. We had a nice chat in the waiting area with a chubby little black girl who was there with her mother.
"Are you TEENAGERS?!"
"Yeah... pretty much!"
"Is that your mom?" (She pointed over at a woman standing at the admissions window.)
"No, we're here with her dad. He's out in the parking lot."
"Is THAT your dad?" (She pointed at a random man standing nearby?)
"Does that look like the fucking parking lot, little girl?!"
XD Just kidding on that bit. We just said no and walked away. Then I gave Niki a short tour of the campus and we each bought a Swedish Fish, for a total of ten cents. We WILL be taking pictures of them. XD
And then... then... THEN!!! we headed off to the health food shop. I restocked my coconut oil and raw honey supply, and Niki and I went halves on a box of organic Japanese twig tea. XD It ended up being REALLY good (that, my friends, is where the boiling came into play. I'm sure you were waiting long and hard to see when it would. IN-DEED. And no, I don't know how one would "wait hard"... if female.) And her dad got us some organic sodas. The brand was Blue Sky. I had ale of the ginger. It ACTUALLY tasted like ginger. DELICIOUS.
Plus it was certified organic by organic certifiers (www.organiccertifiers.com). Can't beat that with a baseball bat.

Best weekend I've had in like two weeks! It started on Thursday. Niki and I "went to Juli's house". Or so we said. XD I snuck her over for a peep hang! Now, this is a really HUGE deal because my mother is a psycho and hasn't let anyone but gramma and Cameron enter our house since we moved in here, two fstarcking years ago. Therefore, it is super top secret. No one knows but her dad, her boyfriend (who was there when her dad dropped her off), and my boyfriend. We had a super boiling/movie party BUT THERE WAS NO POPCORN! DOOOOOM!!! So we made fry things instead with awesome seasoningness. We are the expert chefs of the century, you know.
Niki has now seen The Preacher's Wife. And Akira. DAH. DAH. She covered what we did pretty well in her journal. XD But she didn't mention our little chat. Probably out of respect for my privacy. I hope. Teehee! Anyway, it was the sort of discussion that is ABSOLUTELY NOT FOR CHILDREN.
On Friday, Niki went home, then Cameron came over and charged the Doki-Doki-Dynamo after we went to the mall. We bought and watched Beat Angel Escalayer which has the most hilarious English dub since Garzy's fucking Wing. And I got Ramune (melon flavor, FAAAVORITE!), some chocolate koala things, and a smoothie type thing. It was my dessert since I had a HUGE salad (spinach, romaine, coconut oil, black pepper, sea salt, garlic powder, rosemary, and thyme). Cameron got Wendy's. XD He saved me a nugget! Soooo sweet!
Today, Cameron and I did our business business. From 1pm to 8pm. I was so proud of how it turned out. And we got to go for a ride around the block afterwards! And I got fifty-five bucks! We charged $150 for the job and split the money into three parts. Fifty for me, fifty for Cameron, and fifty for supplies. And on top of that we each got a five dollar tip! How fstarking awesome is that?! I did my first hardcore claybarring. Hellz yea.
Then after stopping at my house to charge mah lazah (SHOOP DA WHOOP!) and pick up le birthday card, we headed over to Devin's party. We were like five hours late, but I was still there for a solid four hours. It was so funny. Cameron was trying to play the drums while Devin played guitar, but Devin was too drunk to remember more than a measure of any given song, so Cameron had to stop drumming every ten seconds. He was SO annoyed, but his annoyed face was funny and adorable. XD Everybody was totally smashed by the time we got there. My drunk family is so cool. XD It's a shame my mom didn't take after THEM. Or, you know, anyone who doesn't control the Underworld.
Me and Niki made like five hilarious silent films of us dancing in this funny way that Cameron does sometimes to make into a .gif to send him. And Devin had a glass that said "F*CK OFF! It's my birthday!" on it, so we all started saying f(star)ck. The "f" and "s" are very close together, like in "sphere". Fstarck. Fstarcking. When Niki's boyfriend (Nick) came in the room we asked him to use fstarck (which he was completely clueless about the meaning of) in a sentence.
"The fstarck is the shizzle."
That pretty much sums that up. XD
Oh. And they turned off Loverboy.
Tisk tisk.
