Sometime I think Thank God for woohu, because I vent soooo much, better on here than on someone right? Other times, I think about how it's a life saver for certain people. Just to come to woohu and read these peoples journal, get under their skin, use things against you, it's just so retarded. You think it holds power over us, to know what we're thinking, but do you really know how we really think you're total idiots, and we are going to screw you over so bad.

Anyway, I get to hang out with Jess today after I babysit, so I'm happy about that.

I kinda don't want the parents to come home today, I know it's just going to be cioas when they get back. Nick's in a bunch of trouble, I might just as well be in trouble. Ughh...I wish they'd just stay gone. I'm so much happier the few days while their gone then I've been the past two or three weeks. Of course I know parents are going to make me mad, but my mom is sooooo crazy! She makes a bigger deal out of everything than it has to be! Like she'll yell at me for an hour if I change the radio station in the car, to another country station when there are commercials on, which leads to an even bigger fight about how she just pisses me off because she's stupid and a psycho. UGhhh!!! I just am glad I'll probably be at Jess's when they get back, then I have to work tomorrow, so I wont have to put up with them until after work.

i need to go tanning every day till school starts from now on, otherwise im screwed.

Last night sucked so bad. I got so sick. My neck hurt so bad, and was throbbing to the point where I got sick, and i couldn't breathe, it just sucked. I took like all the Motrin you can take in one day and it only helped for a while. And I can't get it checked out till Monday. So Kate was gonna come over last night, and that didn't happen. Dan really pissed me off, I miss Jess, and I'm sick of babysitting and working. How's them apples for ya?

Tonight should be better. Home a lone. Me Katie and Linds are going to Club Revolution. Linds got her liscense yay!!! :) And for once I don't have to worry about a friecken curfew.

I need to go get my paycheck from the farm and go tanning...but nicks still sleepig and he'll be pissed if i wake him up. Ah, oh well.

Yesterday I had to work a full day 8-3:30 and I was so cold and wet. Denee and I went insane! We just couldn't take anymore corn! We just couldn't!!! We just were totally pshcotic. We were screaming, laughing, yelling, giggling, freaking out about everything. Then half way through the field we just jumped off the tractor and ran down our row screaming and laughing lol it was the funniest thing ever. Lol we just seriously were about to break down we were so crazy. I couldn't even look at the corn anymore, I couldn't remember what a tassel was so I was just picking everything and laughing so hard I like almost started crying. hehe good times. Jeff backed up the tractor though and made us get back on, but we had such a fun crew all we did was screw around and laugh and freak out, but Robin and Megan were on our crew and kept throwing tassels at Danielle for no reason, and people were getting really annoyed and pissed. So we saved up all our tassels in our hoodies for a entire row and then pelted them with all of them at the end. Danielle, Denee, Dustin, Sarah, Steers, and me. Without them our crew would be awsome. It was so cold though, and I didn't have my big yellow jumper pants and jacket because I let this boy who didn't have anything on but a tee shirt use mine, and he didn't give them back!!! grrrr I was freezing my butt off and I had to pee like a race horse soooooo bad all day! I just never went lol but enough about that. At lunch we all just layed on each other and refused to get up and ahh it was so just crazy. Everyone was so nuts all we did was luagh all day and act like five year olds. The highlight hehehehehe when me amy danielle and denee were laughing about the retarded arm humping. lol ahhhh ok enough about the farm lol it makes me a crazy person. "You're like a friecken monkey on crack"

I'm so glad my parents are gone till Monday. They have to do this thing for my Grandpa, who by the way is doing a lot better!!! He was realesed from the hospital today, and he is starting kemo next week. How the poor man will have energy left to do anything, is blows my mind, but I guess we'll just have too see. My aunt, there isn't much they can do. They found out really late, and unfourtanatelly she doens't want to try kemo because the chances of it not helping much are very high. I just try not to think about the bad while things are at the worst moment as they could be. Things are just setteling down for a while, I don't want to see it change untill it has too. Which it will, I know it, everyone knows it, but keeping calm while we can is really the only choice at this point.

So he's pretty much gone, and even though I didn't think I was okay with it, I am now. There are so many more times when I will feel like this. I may have pushed you away, and fell flat on my face, but you knew as much as me, I couldn't handle anymore than what we had. I tryed for your sake, but more so for mine. Because for once I wanted someone there to catch me when I fall, not just fall and pick myself up and try all over again. You're just a boy, with a car, with a heart, with brains, and I'm just a 15 year old girl who just isn't ready too handle something as serious as that could have been. I would have rather screwed it up now, then later. Because it just isn't a big deal. It's just not, and won't be for a long time.

I miss my Jess. Nobody understands my crazy life and thinks I'm as stupid as I really am but loves me anyway. I could live without most people, but not my best friend.

I don't know if I want school to start or not. I've been wanting it too, and a part of me still does, but then theres a big part of me who just wants to take the time I have left before my life gets more hectic and crazy and just use it to my advantage.

I'm going to the whitecaps game tomorrow WITH FIREWORKS!!! yay!!!!!! I'm so excited. That'll cheer me up for sure.

This whole thing has pushed me to my limits, and shown me just what my limits are, and a lot of limits I never knew I had.

I LOVE YOU PAPPY!!!!!

Jenna I miss you! Hope you're having fun!

We aren't whores, we aren't party every weekend girls, we aren't too shy to not let people walk all over us, we have hearts, we aren't potheads, theifs, follor her and his every move kinda girl, we aren't going to totally fuck ourselves over. Yes, that's right. We are going to have lifes behond all this stupid crap.

ughh I swear the next time I decide to pick up the phone wheny ou call, you're in for it. I'm going to lay all your stupid little crap that you continue to pull evne after the first time , im going to lay it all down, and you'll be sorry for fucking with me, yet again. Stupid asshole.

Wtf?? You think that I don't know?!?! Do you honestly think that I am THAT stupid?? I've known ever since I figured...hmm...this can't be right. You'll read this, think...she's got to be talking about me, but how could she...there have been no clues. It might be someone else, I'll just continue not to say anything, because she can't *really* honestly know what's going on with us, with everything...so you just wont say anything at all. Well you know what? Go right on ahead, because I AM talking about you, and subconsiously you know that! You are just to much of a pansey, dont have the balls to be honest, be straight with me. Just tell me the truth. You know hoenstly? Something I thought you use to pursue, now I just think you are a total fake and foney. The thing I just cannot seem to understand is...this happened to you, and you turned to me, now that you have the oppurtunity wheny ou know the hurt, the pain, the drama it all caused, you go through with it too? you wanted me to feel the same way you did?? YOU DIDNT GIVE A FUCKING SHIT ABOUT HOW ID FEEL! DID YOU REALLY THINK I WOULD TAKE IT LIGHTLY AND BE OKAY WITH IT?? Wow, that's sad. YOu're pathetic. You deserve to be shot. Not really, that's a terriable thing to say, but you do deserve to be layed into, and hard. I just wonder if that would even make a difference. So after you know exactlly how I'd feel, you just what decide I don't care?? I don't care how Jess feels, I don't care what happens to Jess, I love her and care fo rher, but I just dont give a rats ass, is that what you fucking decide??? You piece of crap. Who the hell do you think you are...honestlyy??? WHO!!! TELL ME, ID SURE AS HELL LIKE TO KNOW WHERE THE HELL YOU GET YOUR BIG HEAD FROM??? BECAUSE I DONT HAVE A FUCKING CLUE WHAT COULD POSSIABLY POSESS YOU TO BE THAT MEAN AND CRUEL, AND HONESTLY TO THINK YOUR ACTUALLY WORTH THAT CAPABILTY??? WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!! GO BACK TO YOUR FUCKING HOLE!!! You know that time when EVERYONE hated you!!! and I was still there for oyu, I still cared about you and your feelings, I was there for you despite how much shit people put on me for it, and I just dind't care or listen because I THOUGHT you would do the same! DING DING DING I WAS FUCKING WRONG!!! YOU STUPID STUPID WHORE WHO HAS STABBED ME IN THE BACK MORE THAN ONCE NOW AND YOU STUPID STUPID GUY WHO HAS LIED TO ME FROM THE START!! YOU BOTH JUST LOST THE BEST FUCKING FRIEND YOU EVER COULD HAVE HAD! I DONT GIVE A SHIT HOW CLOSE WE WERE OR HOW LONG WEVE KNOW EACH OTHER IM DONE WITH YOUR SHIT AND YOUR LIES YOU FUCKING MORONS!! You know you owe me soooo much fucking more than explanation to do something so shaddy when I'm going through so much shit right now, but you know what?? JUST LIKE YOU, ITS NOT WORTH MY FUCKING TIME!!!! So you can take your fucking explanation, any apology I DOUBT YOU WILL EVER COME UP WITH!! and shove it, because I AM FUCKING DONE WITH YOUR BULLSHIT AND EVERYONE ELSES!!! FUCKK YOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!
