<3 LOOK AT IT, BITCHES! AIKO-CHAIN RULES! : [link] <3

Apologies, first of all, I went away this weekend and things have been a little hectic for me lately.. Anywhos, I decided that I've already hit my 3,000 pageviews (Yay) so I'm just going to leave the 2,500 pageviews picture in my sketchbook. Unless you guys ask, I'm jus' not gonna scan it. I didn't get anything done in the last week. Luckily, though, time is going slow enough that I should be able to get everything done. Unfortunately, though, because of that month's-worth grounding, I'm far behind still, and my deadlines will have to be pushed up. We went to my grandma's house this weekend, and she and I went to walk with (Great) Grandma Sykes outside, and she fell walking across the stepping stones. She shuffles her feet too much, so it happens sometimes... Luckily, though, God made sure she was alright. She only hit her arm and broke a bit of skin on her finger. So, she didn't hit her head, thank God for that. But they took her to the emergency room, they got home at 2 a.m. , and her arm is now in a sling. And she's taking lots of pain medicine which is causing her to sleep a lot, and she has to have Beth feed her because she's not used to using her left hand, nor is she that hungry. She just complains about her arm and asks the same questions over and over again...

I know that we all laugh about the funny stuff she says and how she asks the same stuff a lot.. But, to be honest, it's really getting to me. I mean, she's got Alzheimer's, so most days she just says or asks the same thing a lot. And others, she keeps saying that she has to get ready for school or her mama is gonna punish her.. Or she looks around for (Great) Grandaddy Sykes... I swear, sometimes I feel as if it was just an extra that it was his time to die. Sometimes I feel as if it was God's way of teaching me to be content and to punish me for doing something very wrong, to teach me that I need to stop. Same goes for Digger... I just feel like it wouldn't have happened if I had changed the things I did and still do. Which is why I'm so worried about Grandma Sykes. Even if something like what happened the other day happens again, and she doesn't get hurt too badly, I still can't stand to look. That's why I hate to be around her as much.. I like to sit with her in her house and watch tv and eat ice cream sandwiches and all that stuff, but if she's walking around, I prefer not to be there.. I feel like I'm some kind of jynx and that she'll get hurt if I'm around.

*sigh* Anyway, on to other junk: I played Boom Boom Rocket(it's like DDR, jus' with fireworks. It's on the Xbox live arcade ^-^ ) with my aunt, we took turns. We've still only got one controller. Hopefully we'll get tons more soon. Ma is working on Ebay and stuff to get a bunch of wireless ones, like our current.. We drank tons of root beer floats, got crazy, played 5 hands of Contract Rummy (there are seven) and then we played Apples To Apples a lot. Like every night. Aside from the one when grandma fell... Beth was there with them. Aside from all that, I'm back and working again, hopefully. I did tons of Algebra stuff this weekend, cuz I had to get Beth's help. Not even she could get it >-< She and Grandaddy were talkin' for awhile about how when they did Algebra and stuff, Algebra 1 today is the same as Algebra 2 back then. And how Pre-Algebra is basically what Algebra 1 was for them. It's so confusing T.T But I've jus' gotta make a C to pass. So let's pray that I do. Otherwise I'm screwed. And, yeh, I am working through my summer as well on school. Since we got behind. That's been in tons of my previous journals..

My sister left late last week sometime. After she gets back from Maryland, where she always goes for July 4th with Darlene and Poppy, she's gonna stay at Amma's (Grandma's) for a couple of days. Cuz she wants to spend time with Beth and everyone, I'm sure. They'll meet with Darlene and Poppy at a nearby McDonald's and pick Minime(my sister) up, say hi to the two, the dogs, and, of course, Macy(our second cousin, Shelby's baby. Who they have custody of right now because Shelby is in jail, doing some more time for drugs from a long time ago. Poor thing, she was finally doing good. But whatever -_- She deserves to be with her baby...) So Minime sent hugs for meh when she called ma earlier while my brother and I were gone ^-^ Remember, ish Monday. It's a Via night.. Speaking of which, since my sister wasn't there, and Rich was at Kit's house for her birthday party and just ended up staying for awhile, Matt and I got to sit outside and talk some. We sat on the bench and talked a little bit about a certain part of my life that we've meant to talk about for awhile now, but never really got around to it. 'Twas a sorta kawaii time, I suppose. It was nice to be alone and talk to just each other for awhile. Still, I'm not one for PDAs (Public displays of affection) simply because I'm one that's not really known for even being nice. Plus, I'm not used to a guy being so.... Sweet to me. Heh. I mean, my ex before Chris was always the dominant one in the relationship. Until I found out about what he'd been doing, then I got pissed, and the real me came out. I didn't really care how he acted before because, hell, I thought I loved him.. So I let him be the dominate instead. So, anywhos, it was nice ^-^ And I'm finally back to my regular makeup T.T I have to make it light and ' perky ' when I go to Amma's house. But, of course, she started complainin' to ma about my shirt, cuz it's got spaghetti straps and I'm wearing a sports bra.. I can't find the other two, and I'd been wearing my strapless for awhile there >-< I needed a new bra, alright? And this is the only one I've got right now..

Aside from that, I might as well let you all know: I am now a seafood/kosher-meat-only girl! This means that seafood is the only kind of meat that I will eat that isn't kosher. And when I say kosher, I don't mean Jewish or whatever, I mean that animal is raised on a farm and fed natural foods and given fresh water. And it's still given the right care to make sure it continues to be healthy.. And it's also killed quickly and not tortured or hurt. It's killed in a quick, and usually completely painless. The meat is tons better for you, and the animal is treated the way it should be treated before it's killed for meat. If you wanna know more as to my "kosher"ness (NOT VEGETARIANISM! My ma keeps sayin' that I'm goin' veggie on her -_- And I'm not, kay? Sorry, folksies, but most animals are here for our eating pleasure. But they need to be raised and taken care of, despite the fact that they're simply being raised for food) Animals DO have feelings. I've lived around them my WHOLE life, alright? I know if they're feeling sad or angry or happy. Especially when it came to Midnight.. You could see it in his eyes. You can also see the sadness and pain in those animals' eyes. And you can tell they've been through hell multiple times, spit back out, and immediately sent back as another cruel form of torture... So right now I haven't eaten any meat for about a week now, and it's pretty easy. I mean, I usually eat stuff like grilled cheese and salads and pastas all the time. And hotdogs were more like snacks for me, anyway. Plus I'm watchin' my weight, I gained 12 pounds, and since I changed the way I eat, it's helped me to lose 2 pounds already ^-^ Yay me.

Anywhos, I'mma go now, cuz this is probably friggin' huge >-< So, here's the regular stuff I put on every journal, minus the lyrics and stuff this time, though. Cuz I'm not in the mood to do it right now, I jus' wanna see who's online right now and listen to music and watch videos and all that junk. Might write some, I dunno for sure. I think I might add my recent lyrics, since I went to edit them tonight, and they were pretty much perfect o.o Pretty cool. First lyrics I did like that. I'll write out a stepthrough version after awhile as well. It won't take long to do, I'll prob'ly do it tomorrow sometime. And, KITTY: I'm so sorry that I haven't gotten that Shino done yet, life is a little crazy and I have to get a reference pic. I'll try to start on it tomorrow, since things are back to slight normal >-< <3 Love to all <3 Oh, and a little edit: Rich has this ex-girlfriend that kept on bothering him after she and the guy she left him for broke up. Matt cursed and yelled at her when she called Rich for the third time, cuz Rich doesn't have the guts >-< And now she's calling him and shit again. And I made a promise that I get her next. So, with luck, she'll meet Rich somewhere and I'll get to kick her ass. he doesn't need this right now.. His most recent girlfriend, who is bisexual like I am, also a cyber relationship though, so it's not like it would've lasted anyway, left him for a girl. So yeah.. Anyway, I told him to break it off first, but whatever. Still, before I kick his ex's ass, I'm gonna do my best to get him to get the hell up and do something. Because she's not gonna leave him alone until HE is the one to tell her to "fuck off" Matt and I saying it is jus' gonna make her cry.. A lot -_-

UPDATE: 1: Grandma Sykes is in the hospital again. She could hardly move, and now the doctors found out she has a bladder infection. We're going back on Saturday, including dad, cuz he hasn't been there in God knows how long, and he really needs to spend some time with her as well... And 2: <3 Emmy <3 Again, I dunno what I'd do without you either. God only knows how many shitholes we've probably pulled each other out of, and right now I'd probably be 100 miles deeper than the deepest pit I've ever been in if it weren't for you and your non-stop slapping me in the face(literally, if you could be here, I'm sure you would) and making me see the light. And I hereby declare you as meh bestest friend of best friends and that you can call me, text me, IM me, message me, anything, whenever you want. Day or night, I don't care when, I'll be right here ^-^ <3 ALL OF YOU BOW DOWN AND LOVE THE EMMY, AS SHE PWNS YOU ALL! <3

12. Lost Ages roleplay. Present and past roleplays of Kichumaru Ishoji and Yuri Terrell: Unknown length.
