Women can screw with your head, but that hardly means life is meaningless. Yeah we turn into dust, we grow old, but while we are on Earth we need to make our mark.

How will you be remembered? Not at all? A little bit? Immortal? The Celtics always had a way of making a name for themselves before they died. That way they were famous throughout history.

That drives me, that's my purpose. Will I just die as Chris Pelletier? Or will I die as Chris Pelletier, director of some great films, well known graphic artist, musician, and so on.

I refuse to let anything in life bring me down. And I live for vengeance. If life itself wants to keep me down, make me feel like I want to die, then my revenge on life is staying alive and making the best of it.

Give life the finger, forget what is bothering you for even just a day and go have some fun. If you stay in the hole you will only be lost to apathy. If you pull yourself out you will see there are many joys left in life waiting for you.

That's just how I view stuff...

Gah, my grandma and aunt are back again from before. They are going to be here for 6-8 weeks for my grandma to have surgery on her heart. While I hope that she will be fine, I can't help but think "WHY?! WHY ME?!!!", since they annoy the hell out of me. And also I'm starting to get all of these assignments now, just when they come up here and my mom wants me to come outside and have "family time". It was hell for two weeks when they were here last year, and now here they are for 2 f***in' months!! *sighs*

Peanut, I'll kill you if you kill me. Deal?

I'm done, guys. I'll see you all around.

*Cascadia* · 02-23-2007, 11:21 PM

gah.....what I am doing on a Friday night? Grading 140 tests.

Ra · 02-24-2007, 03:02 AM

*comes back in with blood splattered all over her* Man, that doesn't sound good. Not at all

How big are these tests are we talking about? Major? Minor? Progress tests? (Either way, marking 140 papers on the weekend is terrible)

*Cascadia* · 02-24-2007, 11:18 AM

They are 4 pages long. It is a major test over amphibians.

Ra · 02-24-2007, 07:12 PM

Oooo...ouch. That really does bite *whinces* Hope you get them all done in time to leave some leasure time for yourself!

I hope so too. I am a student teacher so I am simply a slave to my mentor teacher.

*Storm Wolf* · 02-28-2007, 11:48 PM

I guess my day went okay considering....I tried to keep my mind busy as today was the one year anniversary (for lack of a better term) of my fathers passing. I'm still not quite sure I understand the gravity of it all as some part of me still expects him to call me like he used to every week. Sometimes I have to read the obituary to make sure it wasn't all some insane dream.

When I woke up I couldn't help but to re-live that call....that horrible, awful call....8:00 in the morning, just waking to the phone and you hear "Daddy's dead." How can you ever forget that? I dream of it sometimes or would you call it a nightmare?

My father was one of the coolest people I knew and it pains me a great deal to think of my future without him....He never got to meet the love of my life, KROW, he'll never see me get married...or take joy in the birth of his grandchildren.

I don't even know how I've come to terms with it....I mean...everyone dies at some point....but I never expected it so soon.

I miss him dearly Everyday...but today just makes it more real...it's been a year now...still no phone call, still no letter........still no dad.

Ra · 03-03-2007, 04:37 AM

That's never a good thing Stormy. It's hard to say "Hope you get better soon!", since you can't really get over things like this. All I can really say is "I hope you find a reason to smile again soon." Or something to make you happy. Death is something that we all fear and yet it's a part of our everyday lives *sends some flowers your way*

What happened yesterday to me was one of the most...how can I say it? A very funny/ridiculous day. I'm just going to Ctrl+C my DeviantArt journal entry of today, since I can't be bothered to type it all again.

We were playing cards all day, drawing, thinking of things to do, listening to iPods, and scaring the grade 8 girls. Since we were sitting at the end of the "stadium" where the swimming was taking place, we were let out of the area last to get back to the buses that were to take us back to the school. But as we walked to the buses, they all took off, filled with students. Eventually, there was but one bus left that wouldn't let anyone on.

This was bad. I kept suggesting to hitch-hike back to the school, since we were going nowhere fast by standing still. I was told otherwise and thus I tried to complete my "Chinese Cabbage" song that I was working on that day. 15 minutes passed; no improvement, except two girls managed to get on one more bus that was about to leave. I was starting to make jokes about turning cannibal to survive the night (resulting in two more freaked out grade 8 girls), that bus that was sitting there said that they could sit 6 more people. We jumped at the chance and ran like crazy to get there. The catch? We had to sit on the floor. I swear, it was uncomfortable, but mainly because I was sitting on all of this stuff in my bad that made things pretty hard, but in the end it was all good. We didn't eat people and we managed to be 50 minutes late getting home. Huzzah!

A day I'm not going to forget any time soon

**Jo Dawn** · 03-06-2007, 09:59 PM

Ok, I'm screwed. Screwed.

I just got a ton of medical bills from my whole fiasco.

I cannot pay them. Even making payments, I don't know how I can. It's all too much.

I'm just overwhelmed and screwed.

I want to cry.

*Katie* · 03-07-2007, 06:56 PM

I know your pain too well, Jo.

I had to sell my two motorcycles (including the one Trent was killed on) and all my real jewelry (including the engagement ring he gave me) to pay for all the bills I accumulated in 2006 with the car accident in January and the being shot crap in November.

ya know, that still didn't cover it all, but it took a nice chunk out. 'least what is left is manageable.

I'm trying to stay positive....hopefully someday someone very special to me will give me a ring again (not that i care if it is a real diamond or anything....it's the thought that counts to me) and I hope that the ring I gave up will make some girl very happy when her beau gets down on one knee for her

*Kunoichi_Haruko* · 03-14-2007, 05:07 PM

Yeah, so someone hit my car today...

I went to Kmart looking for those collectible cards. I didn't find any new movie figures, and the 2k3 figure selection wasn't that enticing, so I left the store. As I head out to the parking lot, I witness, to my horror, some guy hit my passenger side door. Hard.

The result:

He was trying to park beside me, but the spaces were on a diagonal, and he miscalculated and smacked me right in the door.

::sigh:: Truthfully, I'm not mad. Because, hell it could've been a lot worse.
I'm only annoyed because now I'll have to run around town getting estimates since they want to settle out of pocket...

At least Geico customer service was nice and helpful...

*jeff the cheff* · 03-14-2007, 07:14 PM

At least they didn't drive away after...that happened to me at target once. apparently the cameras on the parking lot at target "don't really work"

Sorry to hear that. When did that happen?

*jeff the cheff* · 03-14-2007, 08:49 PM

2 years ago, it's no big deal cause some old geezer ran into me and totaled that car, so I have a new one.

Ra · 03-16-2007, 10:08 PM

FRICKIN' HELL!

I'm getting really stressed out about school lately. I've got assignment upon assignment piling on top of me, I only have 2 days to hand in 2 pieces of assesment that I haven't had time to get around to starting, and I feel like my heart is being ripped out.

It sucks to be me
