I have so much to tell and so little time to do it. I'm behind in homework, but I decided to take some time out of my busy schedule to entertain you with my life.

First of all, I apologize to all of you, my friends, the ones who have stood by me in times both good and bad. I know I have neglected you. But, as I stated in the introduction above, I have been terribly busy. Also, my Internet has become almost as stubborn as me and decided to make life slightly more difficult for me. But, my Internet and I have forgiven each other and even created a treaty. I shall not be on the Internet for more than seven hours at a time and he/she shall work for me whenever I need his/her help. I believe this is the start of a beautiful friendship.

Last week, a boy I know, a very conceited boy, decided to turn around and call me arrogant in front of my entire English class and teacher. Now, normally, I would talk about this boy with a certain amount of… fondness. He’s one of life’s constants and I cannot imagine school with this boy’s presence. Heaven help the boy if he calls me arrogant ever again.

My cousin visited this past weekend. I enjoyed seeing her very much. I miss her. She was always, and will remain, the sister I’ve always wanted. I did discover that she is to be married to a man that I don’t particularly like. But, I will attend the wedding and be happy and as enthusiastic as ever. I love her that much.

I have been given a mixed blessing. In my advance placement class, AP European History, I received a passing grade. Which, as you should know by now, qualifies me to take the AP Exam. Now, I am unbelievably excited about this. But, that means that I must study my arse (yes, I know that I used the word arse. I like that word) off. Starting this weekend, I have to abandon my dismal social life and become a hermit until May 8. Then I shall reconcile myself with my friends. I’m sure they will welcome me back with open arms. If not, then, I always have my friends on dA, who always make me feel welcome, even if I’ve isolated myself. And, I must thank you for that. Sometimes, that helps me realize that I am loved.

Lately, I’ve been playing the role of match-maker. Though, dividing my time between my family, my friends, my boyfriend, job hunting and school has not left me much time to pursue the perfect boyfriend for three of my friends (two of whom are girls and the other is, if you haven’t guess, a boy). I continue my search, but I’m only allotted very few minutes to search each day. But, I shall not give up. It is not in my nature. I will be persistent and observant. And then I will have the pleasure of declaring the perfect boy for each of those people.

My interest in music has skyrocketed. So, if you would, please list a few bands and some songs that you yourself enjoy so that I may expand my knowledge and appreciation of music. In return, in my next journal, I will list some of my favorite songs, and hopefully you’ll find a new song or band that you enjoy.

I despise drama. Many people do, and yet, they encourage it and spread it. I do not understand this. Do not complain about something you yourself cause.

I say that because, more drama than usual has been going on and the people who are causing it claim that they hate it. I have become so disgusted with some of these people that I’m reluctant to talk to them or, I just completely ignore them. I’ve been forced to shut my phone off for a few hours so that I may have some small bit of piece.

Of course, I acknowledge that I cause some drama. All people do. It’s human nature. But I do not cause insurmountable amounts of drama. And, if I do, then I deal with it with minimal complaining.

I have begun to appreciate class clowns even more than usual. In my music appreciation class, we have several class clowns. And they always cheer me up. I owe those boys very much. One day, before the end of school, I shall thank each and every one of them. They have also helped me become slightly more outgoing. If they aren’t afraid to make asses of themselves, then why should I be? I shouldn’t. So, I make an ass of myself. And sometimes that behavior carries over to my English class. But, in all honesty, I think people like my quirky comments. So, I shall not end them, not unless my teacher asks me to. But, I think even she enjoys them at times. Every once in a while, someone has to make a joke that is considered school appropriate and still maintains its humor.

Right now, I am looking for a band that needs a vocalist. I would very much like to sing for people. I almost tried out for the talent show at my school, but the dates of the tryouts slipped my mind. So, now I am looking for a different way to sing in public. This call for help goes out to the people who attend my school, if you know of a band that needs someone to sing for them, please, leave me a message so I can contact them. And thank you in advance for searching.

I must leave you for now. Even as I type, my workload is becoming even more enormous. Later, I shall finish posting any updates and pleas for help I have.
