Hmmm... first update in a while, but since then my life has changed drastically. Caught up a bit by reading a couple of my FL friends LJs, so I'll address that first. Most people still seem the same... Billy and Erica are still posting mostly polls and such. I miss Erica, and Billy was the one who seemed to talk to me the most since I've left FL, even though we weren't very close while I was there. I guess I want to take the time out here to tell him I've decided that I think he's a good guy, and I genuinely wish I would've been better friends with him. Maybe we can hang out sometime if I ever visit? Biggest of all was this thing with David. I don't know if I'm even on his friends list since we havn't talked seriously for almost a year (since before I left Tampa) but if anyone can help me out and relay this to him I'd appreciate it.
People are gay, they seriously suck sometimes. I don't know all the details of this but from the minimal info I got from reading your posts This is obviously about Arrianne again. If not anything else, I'd like to say I told you so, as inoffensively as possible, and remind you of all the times Mike/Billy/BJ/James and I have told you to forget it. Some might say Arrianne is evil, others will tell you you just bother her. At one time I was supposed to help keep you away from her. I'm sure she can be a good person when she thinks things are going her way, but at the same time you need to (and you seem to have found some point of resolve so maybe I don't need to say this) respect that, whether anybody thinks she's a terrible person or not, you should really back off if she wants you too. This isn't like she just needs to warm to you anymore, I was there from the day you became infatuated with her and had to watch from a distance as you slowly started drifting away from some of your friends in order to persue an unattainable goal. I'm not sure if you knew it, but I was dissapointed and felt hurt once you cut yourself from me completely. You were one of my first friends at Plant and I owe alot of my good memories there to you, since you helped me meet others, alot of which you didn't know either, but whome I thought you did ^_^. If you're over this now I'm very glad, but if you think you've found out what you're doing wrong and have some plan to win her over, I think you should double check your reasoning. Also, I feel that anyone who kills themselves deserves to die. Your life doesn't belong to you entirely, and you have no right to take it away from your friends, and if not them, certainly your family. I don't care if your a pansy but don't be a pussy.
Now that that's over... MY life. I've been in Oregon for one week to the day. I've completed two days of school, and my life seems like it's half-organized right now. I'm living in the downstairs family room, which will be transformed into a full-fledged movie theater later this year (it's a small house, so very I found that surprising). I stole my youngest cousin's room from her, and todayt my uncle began covering the pale fushia walls with midnight watch blue. I decided to go with the club look I've always had in my various rooms, this time with a giant energy drink collection! There are nearly hundreds I've never heard of on this side of the country, and I even picked one up imported from Korea.My stuff is split between the two rooms though, and I should be completely moved by the end of the week. This Wednsday I'm scheduled to see another orthopedist about my collarbone. I think it's healing quickly, but recently the pin has begun protrusing from the side of my shoulder. It hasn't pierce the skin, and it shouldn't, but it's quite annoying. I'm hoping he'll take it out even though I'm supposed to have it in 3 more weeks, preferably five they've said. I got a membership at this supposedly famous gym/ social club that my Uncle and cousins are in. It's very nice, but I hate being inside since I can't effectively excercise for quite some time.
Let's see... my school experience so far has been completely how I thought it would be, with the exception of one Disney TV movie fiasco in which I went tot he wrong classroom on the second day for math, since the rooms were switched since the first and noone told me. I sat there for twenty minutes and finally realized and got up and left in the middle of roll call. Everyone was already laughing at me, but of course as soon as I open the door, the giant fan that some idiot had set up inches away from the door-crack slammed into the ground, and so I ran off. THEN, of course, I discovered I ran the wrong way, into a dead end, and had to walk back past the door which the teacher had decided to leave open. Other than that everything was allright. First day I met one kid who was also new, he seemed like apotential friend, but even so I want to meet more people. I met a Polish super senior who bummed a few cigarettes off me, and then scolded me for peddling pain killers. Later that day I crushed my last ciggarette in some dirt, finally resolving to quit at the advice of almost everyone. Mostly for Erica and Carolyn (my second oldest cousin whose school I'm now going to) though, both of which I had promised at some point to quit. I decided this would be the easiest transition since I don't know anyone who can buy them for me anyway... One of Carolyn's friends (most of which I'd met already with her introductions) whom I supposedly met of my own accord in the hallways tells her she's already decided she likes me. I don't know how that's possible since, although I've been much more outgoing in talking to nearly anyone near me than I had been in Plant even after securing many friends, I havn't had any deep discussions with anyone. It is true howver, that I'll talk to any girl or guy I see that doesn't seem like a total bitch/ asshole. I also met one new girl, a senior in my US history, that has her own appartment since she just moved out of her parent's. She seems like she could be helpful in supplying human contact until and maybe after I find more people to talk to. The polish Super Senior also knows people from last year, which could help, though she only has three classes a day.
That seems like everything important for now, though theres still tons more if I get bored. Oh yeah, and the subject is because I have already discovered that EVERYBODY including cops and teachers will immediately start talking about how awsome the weed in Oregon is, once I begin a conversation and tell them that I'm from the east coast. I've heard rumors about Oregon, and if you have I can confirm they are all true. This is the biggest hippy state in the country, hands down.
