So What Happens In One Week?What? You don't know? Only the coolest thing in the entire world!!! Okay, that might be a little much. :p Okay, fine. I'll tell you. It's my birthday of course! My 18th birthday! This week also happens to be my Spring Break, which is very cool as well. I can't write much, because we're getting up early to go to the Easter Sunrise service at my church. Yay! It's actually pretty cool. I haven't been home for Easter in the past 3 years or so. I usually spend Easter at my dad's house. But this year I'm staying here. I helped clean up the cemetary today. It was a mess. There are lots of trees that were overgrown, and people just dump their trash back there. We worked for 3 hours and it looks a lot better, even though we're not finished yet. I told one of the guys (he's a 7th grader and pretty nice) that it was my birthday next Saturday. I told him to guess how old I was going to be. He started with 14 and went down. Argh. He couldn't believe that I was going to be 18. Hmm, not quite sure if I believe it myself. :) (0) comments 3.26.2002

And Now It's ColdKind of, anyway. My mom was in Canada from Wednesday-Sunday. She said that it felt like this up there. I sort of laughed at her because she missed the really warm weather. Oh, and did I mention that it's cold and damp? I'm off today. I think that it was a built-in snow day or something. We were supposed to be off Friday as well, but as a built-in snow day, it actually got used. What's Val's response to this? "Oh well." Nothing I can do about it, right? The funny thing is this, yesterday I decided to take a nap. I started the nap at 6 pm. I woke up at 9 pm to brush my teeth. Then I went back to bed. I finally got up about 8:25 am. Hmm. I actually woke up somewhere in the 7 am region, but I stayed in bed and read some nice Star Trek for a while. :) So in other words, I got 13 hours of sleep?!? Sheesh. I think the last time I did that was when I came back for camp. Not in the last few years or anything, but the very first few times I was there. See, the camp I go to is for teenagers. Rising 7th graders through graduated 12th graders. When I first went, I used to get up early every morning to take a shower before everyone else got in there. I'd also get up to see the sunrise. So I'd go to bed at midnight and get up at 5 am. This was also during a week in which I was doing a whole lot of stuff. Physically, mentally and spiritually. It's a wonder I didn't get sick from lack of sleep. So when I got home from those first few times, I'd sleep for like 17 hours straight, no joke. The difference now is that I still go to bed at midnight, but I get up at 7. I'm still up before everyone else a lot of times (especially as the week wears on), but I get enough sleep to feel okay. I also gave up showering in the mornings (while at camp). If you shower in the morning, then you also have to shower in the afternoon because it is so hot. Bleah. Showering twice a day? No thanks. Oh yeah, and that camp is at the beach too. In combination with sweat, you also have sand. Not a pretty picture, especially for the showers. Oh, my good ol' flip flops. What would my feet ever do without them? (0) comments 3.16.2002
It's Friggin HotOkay, so I don't go much out on weekends. What can I say? I like sleep and the computer and movies. And I'm always short on all three of things during the week. So I get to do stuff that I want. It's nice. I went outside for the purpose of achieving #3, movies. I went to rent movies. The second that I stepped out of the house, I thought to myself, "My gosh, it's friggin hot!" It's humid too. We had one thunderstorm warning this morning, and now the sky is clouding up again. I heard that it is supposed to rain all next week. I suppose that's all right. North Carolina is still seriously low on rain for the last 7 or 8 years. I think the number is something like 32 inches below normal. Bleah. The strange thing is this, being from Oklahoma, I didn't even notice the drought. Sheesh. Wake up Val!! ~pokes self in head~ Oi vey (is that how you spell that?). Hmm. Oh well, things could always be worse. Wait, what am I complaining about? This is not bad! (0) comments 3.13.2002
It Could Be Possible That I'm Not Getting Enough SleepThis morning when I woke up, I noticed that the ground was wet. Okay, so it rained. Great. Then I happened to talk to my mom. She said to me, "Oh by the way, I unplugged the computer because of the giant thunderstorm last night." Erm, what giant thunderstorm? According to my friends, it was huge. This one girl said that she thought it was going to blow over her house. Hm. Another girl said that it really scared her because of all of the lightning and the really loud thunder; the house shaking, window rattling, loud thunder. Hm. I didn't hear it. I was totally gone (asleep). Oh well. (0) comments 3.11.2002
So Here We Are6 months today. It doesn't hurt so bad now. The sun is shining. I'm listening to music. It doesn't even make me cry anymore. Personally, I want to see what happens on September 11th, 2002. Then I want to see what happens the next year and the next. On September 11th, 2011, that will be the 10 anniversary. There will be kids around who were born after the attacks. They will have no memory of the horrors that we saw that day. They won't understand. I mean, they will, but not like we do. It'll just be like Pearl Harbor or something. For them, it happened in the past. Crazy. Well, those thoughts will only happen if we don't get blown up by then by any trigger happy presidents.

TomorrowTomorrow will be the 6 month anniversary of the September 11th attacks. I thought I'd mention that to you. You know, in case you somehow forgot. In case you managed to put it behind you and ignore it, just like everyone else around here. You know, just in case that might have happened. I watched the CBS documentary on it tonight. 2 hours of the stuff. Inside the World Trade towers. Right beside the fire fighters. I remember thinking right after it had happened that everything was so small now. Small as in unimportant. The problems that people had before the attacks didn't seem so bad. Everything paled in comparison. I think back on the archive for September 25th. I had written a poem. It's not too bad. You might consider reading it, but remember, no stealing! If you steal it, I promise to track you down and eat you, okay? (0) comments 3.09.2002
My Birthday Is Coming UpThat whole 18 year old thing is coming. April 6th in fact. Funky. You know, when I was a kid, the age I most wanted to be was 12. 12 sounded like such a cool age. A big 12-year old. 11 sounds young, and 13 is always the early stupid teen age. Teenybopper? Bleah. 14 sounded pretty cool, just because it wasn't 13, but 12 was always the best. Well, in my mind anyway. The other age that I though sounded cool was 15. 15 has a big age sound to it. I mean, you're halfway through your second decade of life! That's pretty big. I didn't think that 16 sounded that cool either. I don't really know why. It just has a wimpy sound to it. I never thought about 17 much because I had it in my mind that I wasn't going to be 17. It's not that I was going to die, it was just that it was an age for other people. 17 is the older teenager age. I spent 16 years of my life being just that. I couldn't see it happen, because I guess I didn't think that I was ever really going to grow up. And now look. In less than a month I'll be 18. 18 is also one of those ages that don't really happen. Yet it will soon happen, and I will be happy. The only way to stop aging is to die, and I don't want to die. It's not my time. If I ever know ahead of time when it is, I'll let you know. If not, oh well! (0) comments 3.02.2002
Bows HeadOkay, it's true. I haven't updated in a while. Sorry. Do I have a reason? Yes. Do I have a good reason? That depends on what you consider a good reason. I have recently found myself at MSN.com. More specifically, the games at MSN. Is that a good enough reason? Erm, you can decide. So you know that most of generation are the supposedly lazy types, right? TV generation. We were raised on it. That and games; you know, like Playstation and Nintendo and all of that. I am part of the information age. That wonderful invention known as the Internet. Well, a lot of that might be true, but not for me. Correction, TV and Internet is a definite. I just wasn't into Playstation and stuff. Why? I suspect that it might have had something to do with the fact that we didn't have a whole lot of money. I also suspect that it might have had something to do with the fact that I was girl. Or, it might have just been that I was out of the loop (a not so unfamiliar feeling). Heck, for all I remember, it might have been all of those. ~sigh~ I don't care. I didn't and still don't like those kinds of games. But, and that's a big but, I like some online games. Games like Alchemy and Atomica. Very addicting. Better watch it. (0) comments
