Hey everyone so my life is still pretty dull but not as depressing if tht makes sense. We went to the movies yesterday and saw Oceans 13 and Nancy Drew they were both ok. Im starting to wish i had gone to camp because theres a guy there who goes to my church but i really like him and hes not my normal type hes kinda that Corky cute i guess but he sweet nonetheless but i have a friend there whos keeping an eye on him and is going to tell me who he takes to the banquet. I know im pathetic. And next week is going to be like heaven my mom is going away for the week thank God. I think we need a break a huge one in fact. My rehearsals start in just two weeks and i guess im excited but i dont know. I dont have much else to say Oh yea one of m old favorite tv show Degrassi i just found out tht my favorite character died so ive been trying to find i site where i can downlaod it cuz it its not on YouTube by the way my fav character is JT its soo depressing, And i watched a documentary on the Titanic that says there was a huge design flaw and tht Bruce Ismay knew about it and fled the country once he got back. What a coward not only did he take a womans seat on the lifeboat but then he wouldnt even be a man and take the blame. I hate people like that. well i got to go ill keep you updated

Better Day

Today has been a better day then most. I got to sleep late and had pancakes for lunch. It's been a pretty relaxing day which is great. I even slept good last night i had my my headphonein so i fell asleep to KoRn, who knew a heavy metal group would be so relaxing. I talked to Josh yesterday he seems to be doing ok but sounds just as bored as i am but who am i to say. Anyways my friend Ashley knows i like Chris Angel so she sent me this email with a link attached and Criss Angel actually guessed my name and my phone number then he called me. It was pretty freaky, but it was cool to. I sent it to like 5 other people. It was hilarious. And then this guy Bill and his son Josh came over just to look for his umbrella but ended up talking for about an hour or more, but it was ok because Josh is pretty cool and we talked about movies and music so that was kinda cool. Well there isn't much else to say i'm sure my dad will be back soon to use the computer (hes preaching tomorrow) so until tomorrow i'll keep you updated

My New Place

Hey all you guys out there, sorry i haven't been able to post in a while but when we moved our internet got disconnected and it took two weeks to re-establish. And i must say there is absolutel nothing to do in this town and there are constantly people from the church over here to make sure we're ok and we have so many crappy brownies that i am going to be sick. I must say i am seriously looking forward to starting on the play. At least that will keep me distracted. And it has been really weird not talking to Josh. I haven't talked to him since school got out. I might call him soon i don't know. My brother is going to come over to visit soon and he'll be here for i believe 3 weeks which will be cool, or at least i hope it will. It has been so far a really crappy summer, i think i have depression or anger-management problems one, because it has been really hard to get along with anyone lately and i have just been incredibly lonely. I mean when a person smiles its depressing. And next week my cousin is going to be spending the weekend with us to get away from her drunk mother. And my mother is still always sick she tries to be the best she can by doing stuff with me but shes not a good actress and i can tell shes faking it. My dad has been the only stable thing lately but even he can only do so much. Since we've come here he has been pulling away more and more. Or maybe its the other way around? I dont know things are just soo screwed up i can't tell the difference. I know this all sounds totally corny but whatever. If it weren't for bands like KORN and Criss Angel i might scream. Because when i'm mad i just go in my room turn on there music as loud as it will possibly go and scream as long as i can take it. And when i am not screaming i am singing along with them. I can't wait to get out of this place. You would think living next to a church and having a dad as a pastor would be like living in Heaven but its more like a hell hole. I really like what Criss Angel says in his song Mindfreak, " There's no reality, just this world of illusion that keeps on taunting me." It makes a hell of a lot of sense. ANd on Criss Angel: Mindfreak season premiere what Criss did was amazing i wish i had the courage to do something like that. In case you didn't watch it he levitated over the Luxor Light in Las Vegas which is over 500 ft in the air and he dedicated the demonstration to his father. Well maybe one day i can do something to make my father proud but lets face it being a rockstar won't impress my father. Well enough of my depressing talk i think i filled you in enough for now. I'll keep you updated.
