All that is gold does not glitter~~
Dang, I wish this whole divorce thing had happened when I was younger. :/ I was thinking that we'd finally get to be a family once we got away from my father, but it seems not. (Whenever my father is around, we all kind of just go in our rooms because his very presence is overwhelming and annoying, like even his aura doesn't know the meaning of personal space, but on rare occasions when he's not here and we're all here at the same time (my mom's job has weird hours, which also causes her to have weird sleeping hours) we can actually do stuff together, like a normal family.)
My dad has spent every last dollar we didn't even have, and so my mom and siblings are going to have to move in with someone. But pretty much every option except moving four hours away has me not with them.
The rotary guy still hasn't called me back. I called again wednesday and left a message with his secratary... I guess I'll have to call again tomorrow. If the Rotary thing doesn't work out, I have a few options. I want to ask Kuan Chin if her family would be willing to host me this year, as they offered to last year (but I didn't have enough time to get the money); I can try doing one of the other exchange programs like tutoring in english or being a nanny; I can start college, which I don't really want to do yet; or I can go live with one of my relatives.
Aunt Terry and Uncle John live in Boston, which would be really fun! I've actually been thinking about that and wishing we could go visit them again or something because I was young the only time we've been there and I didn't really get to experience it properly. They're artsy types, so it would be really chill to get to live with them. Uncle John is from the UK, which is totally freaking awesome. 8D;
Uncle John and Aunt Christy live in Las Vegas (or right next to it, I don't know), which could be an experience, and I like them, but it doesn't seem like there'd be much to do. This Uncle John is the one who always comes to live with us for the month of October to be a monster at Knott's Scary Farm. Him and Aunt Christy opened a coffee shop called the Prancing Pony for a little while, but I don't think that it worked out. They're totally into books, too, and he was in a bunch of plays and things at some point. I think he works with computers?
The Wards live in Arizona, and they're the ones we go see multiple times a year, so that would definitely be the easiest transition-wise. They recently moved out to basically the Arizona version of where I live now, though- far far away from anything and everything to do. But by that time I'd hopefully be driving? There are people my age though, so that would make finding friends a bit easier, and Uncle Mark is the children's pastor at a local church, so I wouldn't have to go hunting for one. They're also totally not related to us, but Aunt Janet and my mother have known eachother since high school.
I guess I have... Uncle Bill or something? I don't really know. One of his daughters' names is Lara. They live in like northern california or oregon or colorado or something. I just know it's somewhere mountain-y where they can go water rafting and such. 8D; I've met them like twice in my life haha. I don't even know if I'm related to them through my mom or dad's side, though I'm assuming my mother's.
And... somebody else who just had a tripple by-pass or something? That's about all I got from my mother's scattered decription of whoever it is.
So... the future will definitely be interesting for me! Considering how dang indecisive I am, hopefully God will not just close but slam any doors He doesn't want me to go through. XD;
At any rate, I've always known that I wouldn't be hanging around here... Everything seems to have been leading up to this. Even us thinking that we were going to be moving within a week and me putting things in storage that I wouldn't have had I known we were staying this long has shown me that I really don't need all the things I think I do. Me not finding a job until just recently I think was God giving me some freedom before being dumped into the world, as well as having me be free to help my family get the house ready to sell. I was also finally able to look into exchange programs and things (I was always so busy before with work, church, school and extracurriculars). Also, going without money has been really good for me as I've never not had money before (damn pretending to be rich father...).
I'm sure that wherever He has me go, He will help me get a job or do whatever needs to be done. As long as I trust Him, God loves spoiling me by dropping things in my lap. 83;
