Sounding Off!!!

I am doing this b/c I needed to vent. And to allow anyone else out there on tv.com to vent about dealing with anyone in some kind of position of power that happens to be an idiot (a company, a boss, etc). Mine happens to be with DELL.

Dear higher ups of DELL,

I was once a fan of your computers. Thought you were great. Until now! I pay full price for a part and for service (which is my fault b/c I let my service contract expire). And while I take full responsibility for that, the rest I don't. Not even 3 weeks after the part was fixed, it failed. So I call you, and I get told I'd have to pay full price all over again. I even had a customer service rep say, its protocol. So apparently its protocol to screw over your loyal customers and give you a shoddy part and not take responsibility for it. While I don't blame said DELL customer service rep for saying that, I do the higher ups who instill this protocol. I have had numerous people in the computer industry (including some close to DELL and a computer repair store) say I was screwed over/ wasnt right what happend. Even without a contract for service anymore I should have gotten a new part and service for free, since the part is less than 3 weeks old (that every part has at least a 90 day warrenty). I was even told that the part was likely/could have been a used one. So Dell users or future DELL users, BEWARE!!!!! Dell will mess with you.

And so Dell, I will no longer trust you or be getting a new computer from you. I also hope all the higher ups from DELL had a lousy Christmas. You didn't even deserve coal (a traditional bad person gift from Santa). You deserve everything to go wrong for your company. And I mean that in the most possible evil way. So hopefully my next choice in choosing a new computer (HP) will be a smart one.

Thank you for reading. Leave a comment (about an IDIOT in position power in your life or just a general one).

One of their Own
I have started rewriting the story I have on ff.net. One of their own is the name and it has been too long since I have done anything to it. So now I am rewriting it and hopefully ending the story in the near future.

It lives...............SURPRISE!

Hello, hello!

No, rumors of my death have been greatly exagerated. How are you my friends? I have missed you terribly. RL (real life) has been a hectic B for the last 10 months. Things seem to be settling down a bit and that's given me a some time to visit and say"

HEY & LOVE YOU & MISS YOU!

I hope my 'children' have been behaving---Mom would hate to have to ground them as her first act back. My RPG'rs, I have missed you and can't wait to see what you've done with Flasha. I promise to post a longer blog soon; however, RL is paging.

Love you! Suz

365 days.

So today, well tomorrow technically, will be a year since I joined tv.com.
I'm still trying to wrap my heads around this. A whole year? It seems like just yesterday I was that annoying newbie that double posted and went OT.
Oh wait...I still go OT...never mind! : P
The other day I went all the way back through my old blogs and I can't believe I wrote some of them. I don't know what you guys thought of me back then, but some of the things I posted, nothing in particular, but , well I annoyed myself reading back over them, so I want to thank you first of all for putting up with me!
This is not to say I'm not annoying now, I'm sure I am, I just hope I'm a tad more bearable!
I would like to say I've grown up a lot more in the past year than I have any other year.
You guys. Oh gosh, I literally don't know where to start.
Since I find music so amazing at putting my feelings into words, I'm going to post lyrics throughout this blog.
I like the way you're not afraid, you've got the world planned in your mind , people say you cannot do it, but they don't know a friend like you
I suppose I'll start at the beginning. I first joined because my obsession with CSI: NY was getting to be more like a medical condition than just a favourite TV show.
I started during my Easter holidays. That was a time when I felt as though I was alone in this world. I know it sounds so stupidly cheesy but it's true. I hadn't seen my friends for a while, I'd sort of shut myself off I suppose. But then I came on here.
So you lost yourself, so you lost your way, found life through someone else, but you threw it all away.
I was somehow lucky enough to have you let me into your lives, and I am never going to stop being thankful for that.
I have never not been myself on here. For some reason, I felt myself open up to you all, I felt myself not caring about being vulnerable with you because I knew you would never let me down.
When I'm with anybody else, it's so hard to be myself, and only you can tell.
I feel like you all know me better than my "Real World" friends do. Though I feel strange using the term "Real World" now because you are my real world friends. I could not be happier about that fact.
I've never been good at the whole making friends thing, I'll always say something awkward or stupid on first meeting, so I guess it was probably easier on here cos I could actually think about what I was saying to you before I typed it!
I don't want this to be one of those "you know who you are" blogs, because you might not know, you might not know just how important you are to me. That said, when I name names, I tend to forget someone, not because they're not as important, just because I'm forgetful like that.
So now I am going to name people, but if you're not listed, don't think it's because I don't love you, it's just because I'm a bit awful at things like this.

You seem to know the way, to turn my frown upside down, yeah you always know what to say, to make it feel like everything's okay.


The Wendy Bunch You really do know who you are. Char, Lottie, Leila, Ellen, Jenne, Heather and Kris. If there is one thing that I have to look forward to in my life, the road trip is it. I can't literally put into words how excited I am for it, because I know it'll happen, because I'm going to make it happen. You have all got so many qualities in you that add up to this one astounding group of people and there's not much I feel I can add to that group to make it any better. So I'm sort of the girl in the corner watching you and loving you and occasionally making a very blonde remark. We've been through a lot together, what with "The Black Weeks" as we've taken to calling them and everything else life throws at us. There is a certain strength in me I cannot call my own, because I know it comes from all of you. A text, An LJ post, a stupid blog, that's all I need to make me smile. That's all I ever need. Thank you for making "Wendy" mean what it does. Thank you for giving me you. I love you.

And I think to myself, it's a beautiful night, and I know everything is gonna be alright,. Yes I know everything is gonna be alright.


BM, Gwen & JJ I call you guys my "internet big sisters", and it's possibly the most apt description. You are the kind of big sisters I wish I had, you give me advice when I need it and a good foot tapping when I need it come to that. You are all funny, sweet and caring and just downright amazing! Thank you for the letters, for the cards, for the postcards, for the comments and for the words. Thank you for always being someone to talk to on the TIU thread, thank you for listening to me when I don't know when to shut up. Thank you for being the best role models I could ask for. Thank you for giving me three wonderful women to aspire to be. Thank you so much. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! I love you,

It just takes some time little girl you're in the middle of the ride, everything, everything will be just fine, everything, everything will be alright.


Hayley You're pretty amazing aren't you? I want to thank you for being someone I can text pretty much whenever, even though I know it takes you while to respond, it's always something to look forward to. I love you so much for sending me that card when you heard about my Dad. I love you for texting me episode synopsises at the beginning of the season. I love you for your crazy Twilight obsession, which I am understanding more and more every day. Thanks for that by the way. You are going to go so far in life, I can tell. You don't have to take me word for it, but when you get to that point in your life when you make an outstanding achievement, I want you to remember this and remember that I always knew you could do whatever you wanted when you put your mind to it. Thank you. I love you.

I'll follow you where you're leading, to the first sweet taste of freedom, you got me running baby, wild at heart.


Brina I'm not sure if you're going to get the chance to read this, but I wanted to include you, because you have been a great friend to me. I fell in love with fanfiction after reading your story "Secrets" and promptly read about 7 other ones. Thank you for convincing me to go and write my own fanfiction. That whole story would not have been possible without you so thank you so much for helping me discover my love for writing. Writing is now my greatest love, and I could not have discovered that without you. You're such an amazing writer Brina, everything you have ever written has blown me away. Never ever stop writing. Okay? Thank you so much. I love you.


Patry and Stacy and Maria Thank you both so much for the endless amounts of laughs you give me on the TUI thread. Stacy, thank you for constantly leaving Carmine shaped brownies; you know I love you for it! Patry, thank you for the Christmas card, it was so lovely of you. Thank you both a crazy earth shatteringly amount. For being so awesome! Thank you. I love you.

A year has come and gone. I've already posted a "new year" blog so I feel there's not much else to say.
Oh, yes.

I lost my way a bit at the start of this year and what helped me through, and what is still helping me heal now, is knowing I have friends like you. You are what keeps me going, knowing that you cared enough when everything went wrong to PM me. You don't know how much you do for me. Even when I'm not online, knowing is all I need.

So thank you thank you thank you. I'm sorry you had to read through all my ramblings, but I figured, such a milestone deserved a long blog. Now I need to see if tv.com will let me post one of such size! J

I love you all so much, and I go through every day wishing that someday I will meet you all in real life. Someday.

It's All About Me

Well, I managed to survive another week in the rat race. Technically, it was only four days since I took Monday off from work. The weather has gotten colder and we have more snow on the way. I'll believe it when I see it. We have the most sophisticated weather technology and yet our meteorologists can't accurately predict the weather. Truth be told, I love snow. When I was a kid, I couldn't wait to get into my snow suit and play in the snow. Now that I'm older, I don't wear a snow suit but I still love to be outside in the snow.

We found out a few weeks ago, that no one at the store will be getting a raise this year. If that weren't exciting enough, the Replenishment Team and Pricing Team will be restructured at some point during the coming year. The Replenishment team will have two full time people and the rest will be part time. Pricing will have two full time people and one part time person. Since there are four of us on the team, someone will be out of a job. My attitude is, what ever will be will be.

Mom called me up tonight to tell me that she's getting me a lazar printer for my birthday. Gee, thanks ma. I like nothing better than knowing what I'm getting in advance. Yes, I'm another year older on Tuesday and maybe another year wiser. Yeah, right. For those of you who may be in a festive party mood, I have supplied some cake and refreshments-which is all I can afford on my budget. Not to worry, after President Obama's stimulus takes effect on April 1, I will have an extra 15$ per paycheck. God, I'm so excited. I'll be sure not to spend it all in one place.

Have fun and please, share the cake. There's plenty for everyone.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Humor is mankind's greatest blessing.

What would we be without the ability to find humor in life? Laughter can make us feel better. I start each day be reading the comics on my computer. Starting the day with a chuckle makes me feel good.

Now, here is a list especially for Jordina. She tagged me on Facebook to come up with 25 things about myself, which in all honesty wasn't easy. I added a few extra thingies so have fun getting to know me better.

I hate the sound of my voice.

When I was four years old, I had a turtle named Nixon.

I can't walk a straight line.

My favorite comfort foods are popcorn and pepperoni pizza.

My two favorite flavors of ice cream are: Black Raspberry Chocolate and Caramel

Praline Crunch.

I usually read three books simultaneously.

My best feature is my red hair.

I love wearing leather pants and high heel boots.

I believe that Scientology is a CULT

I've seen the film

50 times.

I started out as an English/Film History Major in college.

I'm German/Irish

The Tin Drum is my favorite book

Raging Bull is one of my all time favorite movies.

My dream is to get high with

Country music Icon Willie Nelson

The only country I've traveled to is England.

I'm fascinated with British/Irish History.

My favorite color is Lavender

I love black and white photography

The first album I bought was Hotel California by The Eagles

I think the song, Bridge Over Troubled Water is the best song ever written.

I think Def Leppard's song, Pour Some Sugar On Me, is the best song of the 1980's.

My only two celebrity crushes were on:

and

hmmmm...That's a tough one. I guestimate the photo was from back in the mid 60's. He;s the guy Carlie Simon may have been referring to in her 1970 song, "Your So Vein." He and his famous sister are both academy award winners. I've been drooling over him since I saw Bonnie and Clyde. His name is Warren Beatty and he turns 73 on March 30. IMO, he still looks great.

Betty Boop is my favorite cartoon character.

My worst subject in High School was Math

I hate reality TV

I prefer Pepsi over Coke

Since I had so much fun working on this list, all future blogs will contain a list of fun facts on a specific topic. I'll also try and include a movie review or two. I subscribe to Net Flix and I get two movies each week. I just received The Secret Life of Bees. I read the book and I hope the film is equally as good. Well, I'm off to finish a mystery book that 's due back at the library on Sunday.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

The New Motto for 2009!!! Start it early!!!

The New Motto for 2009!!! Start it early!!!





A POEM ABOUT OUR GIRLFRIENDS

Someone will always be prettier.

Someone will always be smarter.

Some of their houses will be bigger.

Some will drive a better car.

Their children will do better in school.

And their husband will fix more things around the house.

So let it go, and love you and your circumstances.

Think about it!

The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart.

And the most highly favored

woman on your job may be unable to have children.

And the richest woman you know,

she's got the car, the house, the clothes~~~~

might be lonely.

And the word says, 'If I have not Love, I am nothing.'

So, again, love you.

Love who you are.

Look in the mirror in the morning and smile and say,

'I am too Blessed to be Stressed and too Anointed, to be
Disappointed!'
'Winners make things happen~ ~

Losers let things happen.'

Be 'Blessed' Ladies~~~~~

and pass this on to encourage another woman.

'To the world you might be one person, but to the one person you tell this to

it could mean so much..'

Doctors, Flies and Other Creatures

Can you smell it? No? Come a little closer. Now? That's right! Tis the smell of a fresh, brand spankin' new blog! The old one was starting to reek. Almost, but not quite as bad as the new TV.com design. There, I've made my feelings known and that's all I'm going to say about it.

So let's see...what's new with me? I need bullets *rummages through Microsoft Word 2007 's unfamiliar layout* ahhh, there they are!

Well, first, let me stir the unpleasant stink of the old blog only to let you know that, fueled by Mrs. Sparkle's outrage at the inefficiency of our public health care system here in Québec (see last blog's comments), I decided to go "private" and hired myself a doctor! It only took a thirty seconds phone call for my new (if somewhat expensive) doctor to get the results of the CT scan I took over two months ago (and with the results of which the "public" doctor who had me take the test in the first place still hasn't called! ) They were negative, in case you're interested (the results as well as the whole experience). So with this test, we have eliminated brain tumors, blood clots and aneurysms. But apparently, I'm not out of the woods yet as this new (if somewhat expensive) doctor wants to eliminate all the "biggies" (her word, not mine) before she blames my symptoms on stress alone. She hooked me up with a neurologist and is having me go through another series of tests: MRI, EEG and a complete blood work. I feel I'm now in good (if somewhat expensive) hands!

Fall is upon us and the temperature is starting to drop, urging little creatures to look for a warm, cozy place to spend the winter months. Seems like flies have elected my bathroom "Winter Destination of the Year"! Every day when I go in for my morning shower, I am greeted by four or five of them. And these are not your regular flies, these are on steroids! These are huge, BIG ASS flies!! I've thought about turning my bathtub into a pond and getting huge, BIG ASS frogs to get rid of the flies. But then how do you get rid of frogs on steroids?
So instead, I catch them (the flies, not the frogs - they're groggy from the cold which makes it easier to sneak up on them ). I tell them the resort has this new water slide that they just MUST try and I flush them down the toilet.
The other night, one of them (a fly, not a frog) ventured out of the bathroom and into my bedroom. It must have heard the monkey sounds coming from my bed (I've kept IB around for fun! Again refer to last blog for IB info) and thought this was a safari of some sorts. It was buzzing excitedly and bumping into walls: BZZZZZZZ, TOCK, BZZZZZZZZZZZZ, TOCK, TOCK, BZZZZZ, BZZZZZZZZ, TOCK. Every time I got up and turned the light on, it would stop buzzing and hide. Every time I turned the light off and climbed back into bed, it would start buzzing and tocking again. Drove me absolutely bananas (hence the monkey sounds ). After an hour of this hide and seek game, I swear I could hear the sarcasm in its buzzing! I never caught the little bastard but I would recognize that sarcastic buzzing anywhere...I'm putting together The Ultimate Adventure package for this little fellow. He will not believe his eyes, all seven hundred and sixty of them!

In other news, my best friend is going through a breakup. So lately, I've been in full "best friend" mode and I've been doing a lot of nodding and agreeing and head shaking. She's been going through the typical stages of grief:

"How could he not be missing me right now? Why doesn't he call?" (Denial - head shake)
"He's an @sshole (Anger - agree)
"It's all my fault" (Guilt - head shake)
"I need a drink" (Depression - nod and join her)
"I'm better off without him!" (Acceptance - agree)
"You're such a good friend. You're so easy to talk to. I'm done with men, I think I'll try women instead" (Batting for the other team?!? Where did that one come from?? - Back off very slowly and move towards the door )

What else is going on? Oh, yes! I bought my very first laptop two weeks ago! My computer was old and rickety and it was getting to the point where I had to turn it on about an hour before I planned on using it because that's how long it took to get off its lazy butt, shake off the dust, walk around with its cane, gathering up all my files and folders and get them all nice and ready. I'm not even going to get into the exhausting negotiating I had to do to get it to play a song, or worse, a video!
So out with the old and in with the new. Well, I didn't really throw the old computer out yet. It's enjoying its retirement in my bedroom, where I can hear him plotting with the friggin' fly at night. I think they're devising a plan to help the little bugger escape.
So I've been feeling very Carrie Bradshaw-ish this morning, sitting comfortably in my favorite armchair, near the window, with my coffee mug and my ideas for this blog. And I couldn't help but wonder: Do all laptop users feel this way?

So that's about it for the update folks! I will now try to post this blog on TV.com. It's my first one since the re-design. I've heard all sorts of horror stories but I chose to ignore them all and be positive! *clicks heels three times and says: This blog will go up without a glitch*

Well what do you know, it worked!! It doesn't look exactly like I had planned, but it'll do for now. *wanders off humming: We're off to see the Wizard...*

I'm BEGGING for your help!

Ok people, i desperately need your help!!!

I am currently looking into the idea of me, a lowly Northern Irish person, heading off to the States for University. However, there are some HUGE flaws... mainly because I have never set foot in any part of America.

So this is where I'm asking for your help. Could any of you dear souls who live in /have visited America and know of any good/reputable/foreigner friendly universities over there leave me a comment or give me any web sites you know of that could lead me in the right direction?

I would LOVE you for ever more!

Need Support from Everyone!
Ok, next Monday, I am having a surgery to remove my overly huge adenoids. They say it's a very simple procedure, but you never know. I need prayers, people!

On the lighter side, I've decided to join Mock Trial and the Italian club at my new school. Mock Trial goes to competition from regional to national, if we're good enough. So support!!!

Thank you for your attention for all of 30 seconds. Go along with your lives now.

Gossip Girl 2x01 Summer Kind of Wonderful
Last Monday, the most talked about show of last fall returned. Over the past year Gossip Girl has become a global phenomenon, being shown in over 30 countries, the show has gone from strength to strength. New York Magazine called it the 'best show ever' and season two returns with all the promise for more sex, lies and scandal from Manhattan's elite.
Picking up at the end of the summer where season one left off we join Serena, Nate and Chuck in the Hamptons where steamy doesn't even come close. Whether it's making out in a car or topless sunbathing on the beach, the first five minutes of episode one starts where the season means to go on. But when Blair arrives in town we realise hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and when you promise to meet Blair, you shouldn't break that promise... Chuck. She arrives with a new beau in tow, James, a sure fire way to make Chuck jealous.
While back in Brooklyn, Dan 'lonely boy' Humphrey, is no longer lonely and while trying to juggle a story that he has promised to write about a failed relationship, an internship with one of his idols and trying to forget about Serena, he forgets what makes Dan, the good boy.
I loved this episode, partly because I so wanted Gossip Girl to return and partly because it was a good episode but there was one fatal flaw. Although the Hamptons marks one of the most luxurious parts in the country, Gossip Girl just could not rely on the setting. It was missing New York, the show's main character. We all look forward to seeing the sights, as they sit on the steps of the Met or Brooklyn Bridge but take this away and unfortunately it feels like a good friend is missing. Apart from that the story was lighthearted and b i t chy the ideal mix for this show and a surprising turn from Serena's grandmother! My highlight was any scene between Blair and Chuck, they are such good actors and the emotion between them is shown so well on screen. "Three words, eight letters," that's all it took for Chuck to get his girl but not yet!
Finally the old Jenny was back, she fell off the social ladder at the end of season one and after reconcilling with Erik, it seems things may start to go right for Jenny. Hopes for the season, some Erik storylines, Vanessa's return, Blair & Chuck showdown and some more drama for the the Derena relationship!
As Kirsten Bell who voices Gossip Girl says, 'You ain't seen nothing yet!'

When in France, do as the French do [UPDATED]

*TACKLE HUGS!*

I MISSED YOU GUYS!!! Anyway, now that I'm home and freshly tanned, prepare for a very very very long blog about my adventures in France I'll update in parts, cuz I've got lots to write.

First of all, I tell you all who was there:

Me
My mum
My sis
Kirsty (our french pal)
Kirsty's son, Jean Pierre
Kirsty's daughter, Kaylea.
Mums other French pal, Jean Marie.

Our French buddies all speak English, except for Jean Marie. He can say some English, but not much.

Okay, part one. This is our road trip that we went on to get to the Fremch camp site. It took six and a half hours to get there, as we hit a little speed bump on the way...or you could say a deer. Poor thing. It just ran out in front of the car, there wasn't any time to even react. When we hit it, the car just stopped and there was silence. Me and JP ran to see if the deer was okay, and as you could imagine a car at sevendy miles per hour could easily kill a deer. By the look of the damage, it would have been instant. But still, it was very upsetting. So we ended up getting a lift with Kirsty's american friends. But I'll tell you about them later.

*Moment of silence for the deer*

Okay, sad bit over. by the time we got a hire car, it was the next day. We set off early. For the first hour or so, we played card games and sang French songs. One of these was called "Michelle my belle" and the whole car sang along. It was so funny, cause my mum's called Michelle. So here's a scenario:

*In the car singing*
Jean Marie: Michelle, my belle...
All: *shouts* I LOVE YOU!!!
Jean Marie: Michelle, my belle...
All: I NEED YOU!!!

Lol,

Also, we spent around two hours in a debate about who was braver, Link or Bilbo. I'll let you guess who won :

Me: Link had to save Hyrule from the king of evil.
JP: Bilbo had to fight a red dragon.
Me: Link has the most powerful sword in the world. Evil can't even touch it its that damn good.
Jp: *pauses for thought* Well, Bilbo had a walking stick, so we win.
Me: *WTF face*

We also did some other things, like nearly dropping the digital camera out the window and scoffing French chocolate like there's no tomorrow. (which I'm doing right now)
The chocolate is TO FREAKIN DIE FOR!!! I brought back four three packs of the double lait one... Not all for me mind. *scoffs*

I wrote two fan fictions too, They're not complete yet though. I wrote one on a road trip, cuz I missed you guys! The other, naturally, is a Zelda one. Lani, if you want the name and summary pm me and I'll send it to you

Now for the Americans. Heather, their accents sound exactly like yours. Its scary.
Moving on. They where the loveliest bunch of people you could meet. Within ten minutes of us meeting them, they invited us to come down to their place and ride their horses, canoe in their lake, drive their quad bikes... We said we'd come down after the camping. And so we did, but I'll continue that after the camping stuff.

Update:

On the first day, JP immediately made friends. I for one, hid in the chalet while he tried to drag me out to see them. But I did end up meeting them at a disco, on the second night.
I really didn't want to go, becuase... I can't really dance I was like this:

I can not, will not, and refuse to dance.
Kirst: We'll see.
*Half an hour later*
Me: *dancing like a lunitic*

Speaking of French dancing, they can seriously dance. I'm not even joking. The dance that is all the rage in france is called the Tektonik. It. Is. Seriously.cool. The boys are actually better than the girls at it! Heres a vid:

Non- French people usually slate it but I think it's cool.
So at the dance I met JP's friends. First of all, wow. They know how to greet people. They greet you with two kisses, one on each cheek. They didn't even know me! It's better than the Norn Iron greeting of,"What about yeh mate?" The was this one guy... He was called Antony. Really cute. (sorry dudes, no pics ) JP, being a real sweetie, asked him if he wanted to dance with me when a slow dance came on. He said yes It was great apart from the fact my mum was there, really embarrassing.

update later.

I Used To Rule The World.

I posted this on Livejournal, but for those who don't have an account there...

You know how sometimes people on your friend's list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when are they working THERE? Since when are they dating HIM/HER? since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

Please copy mine below, erase my answers putting yours in their place then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration! One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out.

1. First name: Charlotte, Char, Charcoal, Charlie.
2. Age: 14
3. Location: The unlovely, Middlesbrough.
4. Occupation: Ha! No.
5. Partner?: In Crime? I don't have one! *cries*
6. Kids: Hahaha. No.
7. Brothers/Sisters: Just one brother. Unfortunately.
8. Pets: One rabbit and two fish.
9. List the 3-5 biggest things going on in your life: Finishing school, thinking about RT, missing all of you guys and laziness!

My Family: Don't get me started on them...
Friends: Couldn't live without.
School: Great for seeing my friends, and thats about it!
My computer: Well, seeing as I have to live without it now, and I am going pretty much insane, you should get the picture.

10. Parents: Again, don't get me started.
11. Who are some of your closest friends? I'll steal the idea...

Heather: You were my first main friend on tv.com. I remember when we had first just started talking and we planned to pull an all nighter together, but then you were ill and I got my laptop taken off me. You are the blog whore, and they always make me smile! Never stop! I love how if I ever need someone to come and talk to or just talk about something really random, you will always listen or at least nod along. I love how you have been so supportive of me. You are one of the funniest people I will ever have the pleasure of knowing. I can't remember what it was like not to have my daily dose of Heather. I can't wait for the Road Trip! Don't ever change! I love you!

Lil: You must be the sweetest person I have ever met. I love how you are always there for me, texting me and being supportive. You are so funny and random and you have me in stitches all the time. You can bring a smile to my face. I love how you listen to me when I am rambling or when I am talking about TV shows you don't even watch! Sorry about that! I love all your converations that you post on your blogs! I honestly don't know what I would do without you, and I don't want to find out! I love you!

Ellen: Where do I start with you? You are one of the lovliest people anyone could ever have as a friend. I love how we both fight over Hugh Laurie. *cough* He is mine *cough* I love how we are basically the only two who don't think liking sports makes you belong in an asylum! You are always here when I need someone to talk to and get advice off. You never complain if I start complaining about anything. You mean more to me than you will probably ever know. I love you!

Leilani: You are one of the most awesome people I have ever known. You are hilarious! If I say something stupid, you don't care. I love how you protect me against the Oven Mitts, and how we have planned to make a film on the Road Trip. Did you tell Heather she was going to get eaten? I just wish that there wasn't such a big time difference between us, so we could talk more often. I love how you listen to my problems, even when you have some of your own to deal with. I love you!


Kristen: You are probably one of the Wendy Bunch I know the least about. I love how you are so funny and can make me smile with everything you say. I love how you agreed with wanting to be a sextuplet, just because it sounded rude. I love how we watch nearly all of the same TV shows, and we can moan at each other about bad things happening in them! I agree with everyone else though! I want a picture! You are so wendy and random. I love you!

Lottie: Don't go!! I can't believe you are going to be gone for a month! What am I going to do? I'll miss you loads! I love our talks on AIM about all sorts of random things and our group chats with Heather on GMail! I love how you always spam up my blog without me asking. You are funny and really smart! I love how you know more about everything than me! I love how you are so nice and caring! Basically, I love you!

Jenne: I don't really know you, but I would love to! You are really funny, and I would really like to get to know you more!

I love you all!

It's That Time of the Year Again *sigh*

Yup as some of you know today's my Birthday......Yeah i know...i should be all happy and ecstatic or whatever but i'm not like most people soo....it's not really something a look forward to...especially right now...

Yeah school hasn't shown me much love lately. I'm currently flunking most of cla-ss-es and most teachers have just decided to give up on me...or use me as an example of a student you don't want to become. Yeah i mean at school i'll just laugh it off or go along with it but deep inside it really does hurt...alot. I know i can do wayyy better but it's just i dunno i've never really liked doing schoolwork....yes i know what you're thinking...."claudia just do the work and it'll pay off" but you have no idea what situation i'm really in...and because of whats going on i really don't find a reason of why i should keep trying.

And i've been really confused about many things lately...School, friends, life, me, and it's just one huge rollercoaster ride of emotions. I've recently started writting in a diary cuz i don't really trust blogs that much, and it's kinda helped me relax a little but i still go to sleep with this feeling of lonelyness and confusion. I dunno why i'm going through all this. Like my friend said i have my "emo moments" and it's true i guess. aghhh i have to get everything straight or else i feel like i'm gonna burst and do something i'll regret....

Anyways.....

Have i mentioned how much i love Jenne and Lani and new buddy Eric?! They're too flippin' cool!! Last night or this morning i guess they sang Happy Birthday to me and i got a new banner from jenne that was soo hotttt my computer almost failed

thanks soo much sis!! and the song was just amazing from all of you. I also wanna give the BIGGEST HUG EVER to everyone who said Happy Birthday! I love ya ll tons!! You guys are some of the greatest people ever...especially when i'm feeling down you guys are there for me and i thank you guys for that. I don't know what i'd do witout the Hiphuggers Crew and everyone i've met here i know this is getting sappy but i just wanted you guys to know that. When i have the worst day at school or at home i know i can come here and wash away all the negative. well with that said

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!

-claudia out
