hey hey
school started yesterday. that was interesting let me tell ya. Guess what....everything is in swedish. go figure. well then, today i had some classes. i started out with german at 7:50 am. yeah i thought i was pretty good at german untill i went in that class room. the teacher spoke german the entire time and i only got bits and pieces of what she said. the students are almost just as good. yikes!
after that i biked back "home" since i had and hour and a half to kill. then off to religion, my next class at 11:05. yeah we all got a book and a sheet a paper and were sent out in groups to answer the questions on the paper, and figure out the school...like count the elevators, and how many different types of news papers there were in the library. weird. then it was off to swedish class. the teacher didnt even know she was going to have and exchange student. so she kept asking me what class i was in before and im like...uhhhh....florida...like America...
took a while to let that absorb. and then i told her that i have trouble reading and writing in swedish, though i speak like im a native, strange huh? so i figured that none of my other teachers know that im from the US. im just going to go up to them and start speaking english and then maybe they will get the hint....arg
well then not much else to write about for now......
later

such fickle words
no school for the rest of the week.
stupid fucking charley.
we've had a total of four days of school. and i would like to go back and see all of my friends in my classes. grah.
im still having really messed up dreams.
last night consisted of obstacle courses, being blind, and running down dusty hills.
anyways. so far in school, chem is my favorite because winter kicks ass.
everyone thinks he is gay though, and i wouldnt be suprised if he was. not to sound stereotypical.
and i learned how to play piano yesterday.
im not very good, i can only do one song from memory.
but ive written a few songs. and im trying to get the melody on the piano, so i can transfer it to guitar.
"and i dream of a place called home."

hey hey hey...
i hope everyone survived charley! It sucked being so far away from everyone when it struck . I watched live coverage from nbc-2.com for like almost 3 hours. i am so thankful that at the last minute the damn thing turned north again and spared ft myers a direct hit, though there is still tons of damage to the city. im just glad my friends and family got through it, though i still havent heard from one...juile! where are you??
well, havent been doing much of anything lately....
...oh yesterday was my birthday...the big 18. here in sweden i can legally drink. woo! fun stuff...
school starts on the 19th for me. but i dont go in untill 1pm, and even then its just for an hour or two.....weird
un getting used to it over here so far.still bored to death during the days and nights for that matter. nothing to do. at all. i need some friends over here quick! or at least hang out with my favorite person in sweden...eric, but hes already started school/work and theres no way i can get to his house. damn. hes so fun too. hung out with him all day a week saturday. got home at like 11pm. oo latest ive been out over here...blah.
well, i must go on and continue being bored. will try and update more frequently..like if something un boring happens...ooo wont that be fun?
later...

i awake to find no peace of mind
its hard for me to explain what happened over the summer.
my perspectives shifted. i think differently on topics than i did before, but i guess that's natural. i will show pictures when i can. because pictures replacing words is becoming evermore common in our society.
but ive had two nightmares. one is long and strange. its too long to type. if you really want to know (which i doubt you do) then just tell me and i will.
but my other nightmare is different. i didn't feel scared during it. and although you may call me morbid, or twisted, or delusional, in a sense it was almost beautiful.
i still dont know why i categorize it as a nightmare, but i guess its the only word that can describe it.
a guy that is 18 years old wearing faded denim jeans is dragging a girl by the hair across a cement floor. her hair is blond and she is clawing at this boy's arm, but he doesn't notice.
and the girl looks like she is screaming her lungs out. crying and screaming for her life. but all i hear is opera music.
and i can remember it so vividly.
she didn't open her eyes. i only saw the boy's legs. but i knew he was 18. don't ask how, its a dream. her top was a beige-ish color, and it was smudged with dirt along the shoulder. the guy was wearing dark brown shoes, they kind of looked like boots.
but i just heard this beautiful opera music.
i cant even describe it.

Hey hey hey!
Ok...i've started to move in to my aunt's house. it feels kinda weird but i have to get used to it. the family is leaving on sunday morning around 6am and then im off to my aunts house for a year. we'll see how this goes...
school starts Aug. 19...a thursday...strange. i have no idea whats going on with that as of yet. the only thing i know about school over here is that there is a building where there are teachers (possibly), students, classrooms, and everything is in swedish. i know nothing else. so i get kinda stressed when that subject is mentioned because i have no idea what the hell is going on...blah
My aunt said that if any of you guys would like to come over and visit for a week or two, it is entirely possible. there is more than enough room and we could have some fun. anyone willing to fly over to sweden? winterbreak, spring break, whatever break...you can just come over anytime! I thought that was nice of her...
Please come and visit me!
ok...
tonight im going to see The Rasmus play at a theme park over here! im excited. im going with my favorite cousin, Eric. its going to be so much fun. he is my best friend over here and it rocks that he likes to hang out with me. :) yay, concert! must take lots of pictures!.....did i mention that they are from Finland? i had noo idea and was corrected by Eric. hmm...oh well they still sing good. :)
alright...i must go now and do some more stuff....set up my new room and blah blah blah...

ok then.
Haven't been doing much lately, and because of me never doing anything, i bored. It sucks because i can't go drive around in my car or hang with any of my friends, since both are in a different country.
My brother is driving me crazy. He makes me not want to have kids at all. Having a 9 year old chase you around the house begging you to play uno, other card games, various boring bored games, and asking a thousand and one questions that are pointless, really takes a toll on you mentally. i think i might go crazy. or is it already to late? if i have kids i don't want them to be as crazy as my brother....or i will be locked up somewhere in a nice white jacket. arg...
Tuesday im going to denmark. my grandpa and aunt are going to be tagging along and well, i don't mind my aunt, but everytime i go somewhere with grandpa, he tends to give me lectures on physics or someother stupid stuff and most of the time i have no idea what he is talking about.....im sorry, but its not fun being 18 and having to spend every waking minute of your summer with you mom, brother, and grandpa.
i have to get away. i need some friends over here BADLY. the problem is....its hard for me to make friends considering im not outgoing whatsoever and blah blah blah...a story for another day perhaps...
i just want to go home.
im sick of family.... i need to run away, far, far, away. before i explode would be nice.
im at my cousin's house right now, but being the social butterflies that they are, they are almost always out with friends while i have to try and not die, and mingle with everyone.
i'd rather find a nice hole to crawl into.
i want to make this as long as possible and waste as much time as i can on the puter so i don't have to go out there and talk to ppl.
i miss my cat.....and everyone else....
im going to try and stay sane...
later...
