My aunt died today.
She was 51.
Cancer.
I want to write a poem, but don't want to cry.
I'm kinda trying to forget about it.. pretend it didn't happen.

I went all the way to work and had to leave because I found out. That was embarassing. plus i was holding back tears all the way home.

The shitty thing is, they said she was dyING not DEAD. but I could feel it. I just knew it. I was lookin in the clouds and I just knew it.

My my my, long time no rant.

A lot has happened in my life.

In December I went to counselling because I have issues.
In June sometime I confronted my family and my abuser.

I switched to Monarch, now I'm not going.

McDonalds chose me to go to Vancouver and work for the olympics. That's right bitch, I'm THAT good.

I gave up with school, and Vancouver is my excuse. I'm going in February.. probably for a month. Everything is covered, I think..

Taylor and I obviously broke up. lol, day after my birthday. I am definitely not ranting about that one.

I got my tattoo covered.. It's messed up already though.. the lettering came off haha gotta touch that up.
At some point I will add a photo of it. Some people say it's stupid, but it means somethin to me so I don't care what they think.

It's funny how life plays out. I thought Taylor would be the ONLY one. and by only i FUCKING mean ONLY. He's still a huge part of my life, but I've moved on tremendously. When I broke up with him, the gotrain doors separated us. =SIGN! lol. he made it and i didnt.

then ten seconds later, I met Donald. haha. he hit on me, and smoked me on a spliff. AMAZING.

then I had a few other ..unfortunate experiences.
then I met Tim. haha he's so hot! Major boost of confidence on my part. I met him at a party, we totally hit it off. well, at least i think so.. i dont really care what he thinks hah.

I was supposed to go to a group counselling thing for sexual abuse. Went all the way there on the day I thought it started, FOR NOTHING! Turns out it's not til february, in which case I might possibly be in vancouver.

I was supposed to see THE USED on oct. 20th. They fucking cancelled it.
They're playing in december WITH three days grace, which is kind of amazing cause I love both bands.. but it's the ACC. I hate the ACC. it's gonna suck if I go, but I HAVE to see the used. it's my goal in life. I just wish it was at Kool Haus, that would've been so much fun.

Doubt anyone reads this, but if you do, how are you world?

This is a project for Family Studies. I'd really appreciate it for anyone and everyone's cooperation! And you can do this survey even if you weren't abused, I need some of you too! Thank you!

IS RIDICULOUS!
If you smoke in the car while you're alone, there is "third hand smoke" anyway! literally in the same newspaper i was reading, there was the banning article, then a third hand smoke article.. like it was a new discovery. Well whether you smoke in the car with your kids or not, the residue will stick on to the fabrics, just like they say.. so it doesn't really make a difference does it?

I am back with taylor..
doesn't surprise anybody does it? loll

I've started counselling.. all is well.

I'll update later.
