I'm Still Alive!

Yes, folks, it's true. I AM still alive. And I am back and posting some more. I'm sorry, I know you're all disappointed. BUT TOO BAD!

Lately my life has been filled with work and school. I don't feel busy, but I guess I really am, because I don't have any spare time really, to speak of. I enjoy it, though, for the most part. Chemistry is hard - especially last night, since he was getting into a lot more physic-y stuff. There's a reason that I didn't take physics here, people! A good one - I don't understand any of it. And let me tell you, trying to learn it in a public school doesn't make it any better or easier. But hey, whatever.

Work's going good, too, except now there's this guy there - kinda new, been there a little over a month or so - who's obsessed with me. I don't say that to be prideful in the least. Trust me, it's more of a nuisance than anything else. He got my phone number off of one of the other girls' phones, and has been text messaging and calling me NONSTOP until about a week ago. He really will not leave me alone. I don't want to be mean to him, but I've about had it. He just doesn't get the point!

A sixteen year old girl who (used to) live in my county killed herself on Saturday night. I don't know all the details, but the general story was that she was a white girl going out with a black guy. Just because it's 2006 doesn't mean that racism is dead, especially in the South. So people and school and stuff were picking on her - and when I say picking on her, I mean that they were being REALLY cruel and nasty to her. Stuff that shocked me when I heard it. (I also heard that her dad beat her when he found out, not sure of the truth value of that statement, though.) So she took a shotgun to her head. The sad thing is, she text messaged all her friends a few minutes before she did it, basically saying goodbye - and NO ONE texted her back. NOT A SOUL. Then her mom heard the gunshot and came running, found the girl's body, and went into shock. So SHE had to be rushed to the hospital. The funeral was today. The parents are talking about suing the school because they didn't do anything to stop the "teasing." Yeah, okay, since when is it the SCHOOL's responsibility to discipline someone else's kids?

Anywho...Oh yeah, I was in a car accident the beginning of September. Nothing major, except that my car was totalled. Now I gotta get a new one, and I think I'm going to buy a Ford Escort station wagon from my uncle. I hate Ford Escorts. But apparently it's a decent car in good shape, well taken care of, with not too many miles on it. And the station wagons ARE better. So it should be okay. I'll probably just keep it while I keep saving so I can get a nice car.

Other random facts about me lately:
- My ankle hurts.
- I just ate a horribly nasty Cappucino flavored Jelly Belly jelly bean.
- I went to the State Fair (didn't win any ribbons this year).
- I'm planning to go to FL in the winter.
- I can't think of anything else to say.
