Introduction

My Name is Bodil Marie. My best friend is a vampire. Her name is Ana. We're separated right now, but when we reunite, she's going to turn me into a vampire. I look forward to it.

I'm writing this blog because I need something to do with myself while I wait out my time here. I figure broadcasting my life and thoughts will give me something to do. Maybe when I'm a vampire and have too much time on my hands I'll do a Life of a Vampire blog. We'll see. Anyway, I may as well give a recap of my life at the moment so here it is:

I was a freshman at Newport HS when I met Ana. She was a new student of my grade and came in the middle of the first semester. The counselor decided that I should show her around and help her get to know the school. Then I kind of lost her. Oddly enough, she fell into my group of friends while I wasn't looking. Funny how that worked out. Anyway, she, I and a girl named Mariah became best friends. She had family issues and got placed in a foster home. It came to my attention that she was only eating one meal a day (lunch at school). In an attempt to help her, I started giving her a bag dinner every day. I have no way of knowing if she ate it or not. At the end of that year, she was sent to Portland to live with her dad.

A year passed. I thought I'd never see her again. During this year I fell into a deep depression and tried to kill myself. I was then put on antidepressants which have worked for the most part.

At the beginning of my junior year (this year), we were reunited. She was back in her mom's care and back at Newport. It turned out that her dad had moved just before recieving Ana and she had been in Spokane for a year. I think it was the end or september or the beginning of october when she started to plan to run away, back to her friends in Spokane. I decided to go with her. I was weary of life in Bellevue. Most of our friends knew she was going. Only a few knew that I was going with her. We invited some other people along, but they politely declined. That was when she told me that she was a vampire and that she could read minds (or rather, she could hear the thoughts around her). Very Twilight, I know. It explained a lot, including her unwillingness to eat and sensitivity to sound. Then the trouble started.

Mariah became very upset that I was going. She tried to talk me out of it. She tried to scare me out of it. She did everything she could to keep me here. Finally, a day or so before we were going to leave (the date was set for Oct 28), Mariah told the school counselor. I tried to stop her. Threatened to kill myself if she ratted me out. She did it anyway. There wasn't much fuss about running away, they were more concerned about the suicide threat. It was hard to convince them that I'd only said it to try to stop Mariah.

My parents kept me home from school for a while. It was decided that I would be home schooled the way I was in middle school. Except for one class, Chinese. I still take that at Newport. Ana disappeared. I assumed that she had gone to Spokane without me. Time passed.

I finally managed to reach her on www.gaiaonline.com. It's a sort of social networking site. She told me that she had come back from Spokane to deal with legal issues and would be going back to Spokane legally. We arranged to meet. We talked and exchanged some contact information so we could keep in touch easier. We agreed that I would join her when I'm 18 and then she will turn me into a vampire.

In the mean time, I am going up to Bellingham to live with my grandparents. I've come to really hate Bellevue. Oh, I forgot to mention that I stopped being friends with Mariah after that stunt she pulled on me. Anyway, while I'm up in Bellingham, I'm going to do Running Start. For those of you who don't know what that is, I'll be taking college courses for both high school and college credit at a community college. And the school district will pay the tuition. It's going to be better than high school (HS curriculum sucks, college's is better). I'll finish my high school requirements and get in a few business and accounting classes. I intend to open a yarn shop when I'm in Spokane. I have a thing for yarn.

That brings us up to the present. I'll update again soon (I hope). For now I'm going to listen to an audiobook version of the Anne Rice books.
