Life is Good

Ok, what could be better than sitting at home with all of my family. We're all doing different things, but at the same time we are all hanging out together. Obviously I'm on the computer. My mom and some of my sisters are are building a puzzle. My step dad's making dinner, and J is watching cheer leading movies. *rolls eyes*

But we are all having lots of fun talking and listening to music. I'm totally redoing my iPod and I'm having so much fun going through my old music. The stuff I was into a couple years ago is so hilarious. I mean, stuff like Nick Carter and N*SYNC. Now, I am talking about like third, maybe fourth, grade here.

So holy crap. This is perfect. I'm loving it. Earlier this week I was feeling so down. I have been missing this side of me for a while and I am so glad to have it back. It's been a long time since I have just sat down and relaxed without thinking about something that would stress me out beyond all reason.

And guess what? I am one percent away from a 4.0. Isn't that so awesome? This is the first time I've gotten straight A's in a very long time. I am so proud of myself.

Anyway I got myself sidetracked and I think I'm going to go back to my music now.

Have a good long weekend everyone!

Bleh.

Ok so I just wrote this majorly long blog venting on how crappy my weekend was, but guess what? I can't post it. Because you know what would happen then? I'd get into trouble because Izzy would read it and then show it to my mom, and guess what? It's not worth being grounded for.

But whatever.... I am so sick of being around people it's not even funny. My friends I can handle, my teachers I can handle, but right now I am so sick of being around my sisters that I just want to go sit in my room all day.

Argh! I just want to go to sleep and not wake up for another week. I want to stop being so stressed about everything I have to get done, and I want people to stop telling me that because I'm a kid my stress is nothing to theirs.

Well you know what? To me it is. I'm stressed out because of all the things I'm trying to do right now and everything I need to do, and being told by my parents that they'd trade me does not help. It just makes me feel so much worse and all I want to do is scream

I hate it when adults compare our problems to theirs. We haven't dealt with their problems yet, and I don't pretend I know what it's like to be my parents, but to me my problems are just as important as theirs because I don't know what it's like to be an adult, and frankly I don't think I want to. Why is it that when I tell my parents I'm stressed out they don't care? They care about Izzy when she's stressed. Maybe I'm just the cause of my mom's stress and because of that she doesn't want to deal with me? I don't know.

I just can't even tell you how much it sucks to have someone tell you that what you care about doesn't matter. Because no matter if they have bigger problems than me, no matter if they don't think the things that are most important to me matter at all, no matter what their dealing with that makes my problems so stupid and insignificant, it doesn't help to be told that it doesn't matter.

Because it DOES matter. It matters to me. My problems are a big deal to me, and at least I don't tell you that your problems are nothing compared to mine. I don't say that what you care about doesn't matter. Why do you get to do that to me?

Oh, that's right, because you're an adult. Because you're an adult it doesn't matter what I think compared to what you think. What I say will never be as important as what you say. When I tell you that I'm stressed you'll always be able to tell me that my stress is nothing compare to yours and that you'd trade me any day.

It's one of my biggest pet peeves when adults shrug kids problems aside because they're aren't as important as theirs.

Argh! It just makes me so mad!

Book Reviews

Holy crap! Have you ever read a book and then just wanted it to go on and on and on forever? Do you ever wish that the ending had been so different, and yet it was such a great ending? Well I just finished an amazing book, and now I'm starting the companion to it, and all I want to do is just change the book into a happy story. :P

Stargirl. My mom got it for me for Christmas. At first it was so cool and fun, and then Leo tried to change her and she changed for him and it was sad because she wasn't herself anymore. Then she wins the oratorical contest and moves?!?!? I couldn't believe it. It was so sad!

Another book I read recently was called The Thirteenth Tale. It's all about this girl who gets a letter to write a biography on the most popular author of that time. She goes ahead and decides to do it, and along the way she learns all about her own story as well. The book is full of interesting characters and intense stories. All through the book I was coming up with different scenarios, and then something would happen to make me think that there was no way my idea could happen. Towards the end of the book one of my first and most impossible ideas happened. It was so awesome the way that the author kept you guessing through the entire story.

I've been reading some pretty awesome books lately, and I've even started Pride and Prejudice. The problem with that is that I have to be in the right mood to really enjoy the story, and with the other books I've been reading I haven't really been able to sit down and really enjoy the book. So I'm hoping I'll be able to get it done in time to take the AR for it this term for English, but who knows. :P
