Oh Hey

Day 09 - A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most.

Mi madre.  I'm her little clone, according to everyone who knows her that I've ever met, but that's beside the point.  I love my moooom.  She's a nurse, so she's always been super caring and relaxed.  I've rarely seen her yell or get upset, and when she does....it's nothing to be scared of! Being mean is not possible for her, and I love it.  Not because I'm a terrible child and take advantage or anything (at least, I dont think so). I'm pretty lucky to have the set of parents that I have. :) 

Hmm..What to ramble about. Family has been on my mind a lot lately, and I'm not sure exactly why. Probably because I'm about to see them for the first time in almost 3 months...No big deal. And I've done some creeping on various people that have been involved with my family recently as well. Again, I don't know why. For instance, today I looked up one of my sister's exes who was....let's go with less charming than the others. A little sketchy, from the very beginning. At least, that's what my dad says! Anyway, I don't blame Niki for any of it... She's one of those people who can't help but want to take care of people. Break through her seemingly tough shell, and she's very caring. And very strange (in a good way). So my point, as I'm rambling, is that this guy turned out to be completely different than any of us thought, and did nothing but hurt people and twist words. Ending him in jail, and Niki basically restarting her life. It was a lot of pain for my family, but somehow we got through. Sure, my dad gets mad at Niki sometimes still, but I know now that it's absolutely only because he cares. He's a big softy, it just takes some time..  I don't know. I may get some disapproving comments for even posting this vague description of my family's inner drama, but it's something I still haven't completely dealt with, in my mind.  So i guess this is me, trying to work things through.  One thing I'm glad for is that somehow, it brought me and my sister closer.  Good things happen through all the bad things, right?

To make up for my last post being very long, and very rambly, I will end with a list of good things that have happened...

-Picking up my dad's old clarinet when I was a lil 5th grader

-Good grades when I was expecting failure

-Getting a paper sent to the author of the book it was about :)

-Spring Break!

-All State '08 and '09!

-Naked parties at Biscotti's (Naked in general...)

-Finding New Hope

-Having time to just go outside and walk around... Winter weather, please go away?

-Finding friends, losing touch with old ones... It's all for a reason.

-Realizing that no matter what, life is never as bad as you think

Here we go.
