alrights, here's your update:
friday night i stayed home cause i was real tired. I watched 20/20. real interesting show. they had a special on the SPCA. It's an organization which "rescues" animals who are being maltreated or malnourished. The SPCA functions off of donations. Seems like a pretty nice organization, right? Well 20/20 showed a whole other side to it that you don't see very often. Sure, some of the animals the SPCA takes away are being maltreated, but most of them arent'. The SPCA goes into people's houses, takes their pets, then sells them and keeps the money. The owners can rarely get their animals back because the courts always side with the SPCA. One example was a lady who was a breeder. Thats how they made a living, breeding and showing dogs. Well one day she comes home and the SPCA is there. You have to let them on your property, apparently. So they take all of her dogs (about 150) and she tried to get them back but the court sided with the SPCA of course. There was nothing wrong with the dogs to begin with. Yes, there were feces but EVERY animal cage has feces in it i mean its a part of having a dog. So this lady loses all of her dogs which were her source of income. She had to sell her house and she now lives in a trailer. Another example is another breeder who came home to find the SPCA at her house. The first thing she said after 'what are you doing here?' is "where's Gidget?" Gidget was the first dog she ever got, as a child. The guy who's in charge of the SPCA in Texas, who was on the raid, says "Gidget is in the truck, she's the property of the state now, you can't see her" So the lady's crying hysterically cause all she wants is her dog. We later find out that half the dogs (about 100) that they took from her house were put to sleep and t he other half were sold. She doesn't know what happened to Gidget. They also had more examples but i dont feel like typing all of them. But 20/20 asked to go on a raid with them, and the SPCA said sure. So 20/20 goes and disguises a vet as their "cameraman". So the vet/"camerman" goes and they take away all the dogs. The vet/"camerman" said in NO WAY were the dogs being maltreated or malnourished. The SPCA didn't even have a vet with them when they took away the dogs. Argh i fucking hate the SPCA. They take away people's animals so they can get money after they sell them. They're a horrible organization and should be shut down ASAP. I'm going to write them a very very VERY nasty letter. argh those bastards.
In other news, saturday during the day i studied for finals- saturday night stephen, brycelynn, kristen, laurie, and heather came over and we played Asshole. Fun Stuff. lol it was good and then we played twister. Good time. Sunday morning i got up and studied for finals all day. Then at 5 i went to my grandma's house for dinner and then to church.

I'm so excited about wildwood!!! i really need to get out of school lol the heat is startin to make my brain get all freaky.
I've been listening to "con te partiro" by Andrea Bocelli a lot, mostly because it's beautiful, and because it reminds me of Bob (<3 miss you soo much) and my Grandpa (miss you so much too <3) and it's just really pretty and it relaxes me. Here are the lyrics incase you care, i'll post them in english and in italian lol.
Quando sono solo
Sogno all’orizzonte
E mancan le parole
Si lo so che non c’? luce
In una stanza quando manca il sole
Se non ci sei tu con me, con me
Su le finestre
Mostra a tutti il mio cuore
Che hai accesso
Chiudi dentro me
La luce
Che hai incontrato per strada.
Con te partiro
Paesi che non ho mai
Veduto e vissuto con te
Adesso si li vivr?
Con te partiro
Su navi per mari
Che io lo so
No no non esistono pi?
Con te io li rivivro.
Quando sei lontana
Sogno all’orizzonte
E mancan le parole
E io si lo so
Che sei con me con me
Tu mia luna tu sei qui con me
Mio sole tu sei qui con me,
Con me, con me, con me.
Con te partiro
Paesi che non ho mai
Veduto e vissuto con te
Adesso s? li vivr?
Con te partir?
Su navi per mari
Che io lo so
No no non esistono pi?
Con te io li rivivr?
Con te partir?
Su navi per mari
Che io lo so
No no non esistono pi?
Con te io li rivivr?
Con te partiro.
Io con te.
and in English:
When I’m alone
I dream on the horizon
and words fail;
yes, I know there is no light
in a room where the sun is absent,
if you are not with me, with me.
At the windows
show everyone my heart
which you set alight;
enclose within me
the light you
encountered on the street.
I’ll go with you,
to countries I never
saw and shared with you,
now, yes, I shall experience them.
I’ll go with you
on ships across seas
which, I know,
no, no, exist no longer;
wjth you I shall experience them.
When you are far away
I dream on the horizon
And words fail,
and, Yes, I know
that you are with me;
you, my moon, are here with me,
my sun, you are here with me,
with me, with me, with me.
I’ll go with you,
To countries I never
Saw and shared with you,
now, yes, I shall experience them.
I’ll go with you
On ships across seas
which, I know,
no, no, exist no longer,
with you I shall experience them again.
I’ll go with you
On ships across seas
Which, I know,
No, no, exist no longer;
with you I shall experience them again.
I’ll go with you,
I with you.
It's just a really pretty, beautiful song.
So yea i'm in creative writing and i'm done with our alternative assesment so i get the period free and i should be doing english homework but i didn't bring my book. hmph. i have to do all of my History review sheet for tomorrow so that'll be fun. And i should study for french. HA! Hm what else to talk about?
I really need to write to my penpal, Sadaf. Yes, i know, a highschooler who has a pen pal. We'll we've been writing back and forth since the cruise i went on when i was 11. We even met up and saw each other again when i was 13. But i havent written back to her since like september. I remember sitting down during Midterms and telling myself i would write her a letter and i never did. I would hate it if we lost touch. I had a penpal from England when i was like 8 who i met in Florida. But we stopped writing and i lost her address and it makes me really sad to not know what happened to her and how she is and everything. I even have a picture of her. Hmph.
Our last day of the gym is tomorrow. that makes me sad cause i really like it and i wanna keep doing it. but they're having another session starting june 27th so maybe if the girls wanna do that then we'll do it again. i hope so. it's really fun.
I still miss Zach, yes i know, it's been like 2 months? but i haven't talked to him in like more than 3 weeks and that makes me really sad. I miss him. argh. I wish he lived here lol. That one picture is like my prized pocession lol.
Wow, this was an awfully long update and it was oh-so-very random so i shall now leave you.
