A rare occasion to update

I'm taking advantage of this time to update, since I don't have computer access at my aunt's. I am at mum's doing some homework thatI could only do here, and it's really weird. It's kinda awkward. It turns out, we didn't get to meet with Phil, he didn't have time. I dunno if that's a good thing or not, but at least I didn't have to deal with that. A couple of things have happened, regarding groundings and such, but not much I can do about that.I hope to be able to do something this weekend, like collaboratory, but I don't know if I can. I hope to. But yeah, I've gotta go, because I have homework to do, and I have a headache. So, I'll see you guys in school tomorrow.

Still in Illinois

Yeah. Yesterday was busy. I hope today will be a day to relax. Although not to say that yesterday was bad. I got to see some people that I hadn't seen in over a year, so that was cool. I really missed them. Debbie is Susan's lifelong best friend, and about 6 months ago her house was burned down. Completely. It was gone.The cause was her son, Matt. He accidently left a candle burning all night, and it started the fire. He felt so bad. I felt so sorry for them.I mean, all their belongings, memories, everything. Gone. You can replace materials goods, but memories are irreplacable. As is the feeling of home. They rebuilt the house, and most of it is done, but it's still not the same.It was weird for me, because I used to stay there, and the room that I slept in was burned to the ground. If it was weird for me, I can't even imagine what it must be like for them. It really made me appreciate everything that I have. We went up to visit them, because they are really having a rough time. But it was good for everyone that we got to see each other. And I also saw Mary and Jack yesterday as well. I love Mary to death, she is awesome. She's the grandmother everyone wants. Not that my grandma isn't great, by any means, I love her, but Mary is most definetly a kid at heart. She collects coyotes, and all different kinds of glasses. She has over 50 pairs. Weird, no? But they are so amazing.She has such cool stuff. Her basement is filled with all this old time, entertaining, awesome crap. I mean, it is the shit.We were on the go non-stop yesterday. We went from resteraunt, to store, to resteraunt, to Debbie's house, to store, not to mention the hours in the car in between. I'm talking another 5 hours, at least.And we come home tomorrow, so I get to do another 7 hours. Gah.But we haven't done anything much today, and they are taking a nap (YES!) so I think I'm gonna go and relax while I can.The point of this entire vacation is to reduce stress. Well, in some ways, it does, but in others, not so much. I miss you guys, but it's also nice being away, from certain people,like my mum.So yeah, it's ok here. See ya later.

In Illinois

Yup, I'm here, in Bloomington, Illinois. They don't have AIM on this computer, so I decided that I would just post in here instead. Well, today was...long. I got home from Andykins's house last night and had a ton of things to do. I finally get ready to go to be at around 2, and my aunt decides to tell me something that she calls "good news". My 5 year old cousin Josh is coming with us. Yeah. I mean, I love him and all, but I mean, I already had 3 year old to deal with. Plus I am really tired, wanting to go to bed, and stressed out. So yeah, that didn't go over too well.Anyways, that was one long ass car ride. Out of 7 hours, they sleep no more than 15 minutes. And Susan has to drive, so guess who go to take care of them. Yeah, I can already see how this weekend is gonna go. My aunt, who is oh so brilliant, also decides to stop at Wal-Mart for an hour. Yeah, a 3 year old and a 5 year old in a toy section and no money. Not pretty.BUT I GOT A SLINKY!!!KICK ASS!!! Anyways, ha,it was only 89 cents, lol,yeah, and I've been wanting one for quite while. Nevermind the fact that it's a junior one...hee hee. Thank goodness I have that and my ipod. Not like I could listen to it in the car, they never slept, and I spent half the time unbuckled, breaking up the 2 midgets. Yeah, one likes to spit and hit and throw things while the other screams really loudly. Yeah, I can't tell you how many times I got beaned in the head with some sort of hard object. Gah, someone remind me NEVER to do that again, please. But hey, it's late, they munchkins are going to bed (finally!) and I have a computer. I guess it's not so bad. Could definetly be worse. Tomorrow we are going to Starved Rock. I've been there before, but it's still pretty cool. I get to meet the other part of the family. Oh well, they're the cool ones anyway. But yeah, trying to stay optimistic here. And I miss you guys!! Well, I should probably go, so you guys have a good weekend. Love love.

What the heck, I think I'll update

Yeah. Well, my mum just got back from her "vacation" saturday. She had to work all week, so she wasn't too happy. Nor was I, for that matter. I really enjoyed my week. It was great. I dunno if you guys noticed, but I really was less stressed. It was nice. But now she's back, so I have to be all on guard and crap. Oh well, I had fun. But I won't be able to do anything this weekend because I have to go to Illinois with my aunt to see her family and friends. I dunno, I haven't seen them in a while, and some of them are cool. But some of them really aren't. And it's with Susan. But I don't have a choice, so I'm not gonna fight over it. That would be bad. Haha, I just realized something. They don't know that I've gone all "goth" and stuff. This shall be interesting.I dunno if they'll care or not, but it really doesn't matter to me anyway. But yeah, anways, just thought that I needed to update. So yeah, see y'all later.
