My birthday is in two days! I'll be 17 in just two days! EEEEEEEE! I'm so excited.
So, in two days I'm taking a group of friends to the movies and dinner at our favorite restaurant and ice cream.
One problem with my birthday, it's also my time of month. Doesn't that suck? So what a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Hate, sorrow, lust, love, betrayal, AUGH! The betrayal thing isn't even new, and wasn't even a betrayal exactly. Another reason to get out of Bellevue. Get away from him and all the bad feelings associated with him.

Monster Quest
So tonight I'm watching Monster Quest on the History Channel. This is sort of a commentary while I watch.
We're in florida in search of a sea monster. Apparently there are many reports of it throughout time. A sort of flordian nessie. It seems very fishy to me. There are too many ad breaks. It shouldn't be so long, considering how little material they have. It appears to be a manatee. The only time they've ever actually found anything is a chupacabra. It was dead. Oh look, my cat is watching the show. I think he thinks the sea monster looks like lunch.
New episode: In Tazmania looking for a supposedly extinct tiger. It looks like a wolf that can dislocate its jaw. Freaky looking thing with it's mouth open. He ran after a dangerous predator? What is he thinking? They have a visual and audio decoy, but does it smell right? They're crashing around so much, it's going to run from them. Huh. They want to clone a tasmanian tiger. The DNA is in complete, so they're adding tasmanian devil DNA into the mix.
Ok, what is with these Quiznos ads? I know that innuendo sells, but this is too much, it's downright sickening. I am never eating at Quiznos again. Never.

News
So my parents and I were visiting my grandparents yesterday. These are the same grandparents I"m going to be living with next year. GL (Grandma Liz) gave me some calendula, snapdragon, lady's mantle, cyclamen, and a primrose. The calendula and snapdragon seeds were just planted and will need to be kept inside for a while. The lady's mantle will need to be planted almost immediately. And the cyclamen should be planted fairly soon.
I started writing this yesterday, and this morning I was fairly upbeat. Then I went to check on my pet snake, Draco, and found him dead! Waah! We're burying him under the florabunda bush, which will not be disturbed during my gardening.

Politics
Well, I hate politics in general, nothing good has come of it in years. But I think we're on an upward turn with President Obama. The thing is, politicians are full of bleep and will say anything to get elected. And some of them don't even seem that smart and refuse to listen to reason. And it seems that most of the people in charge are more into self-interest than the welfare of the nation. Also, why should the country be the rich people? They have too much power while the poor don't have enough.
Another thing, why is there still discrimination? White, black, male, female, young, old, christian, muslim, jewish, pagan. How are any of these less human or less worthy? And what about asians and hispanics and the others facing discrimination that isn't so well publicized? How can people get away with paying someone less than others based on anything but performance? How can people get away with genocide? Heck, why must there be wars based on feuds thousands of years old? Can't thesen people get over their legacy of hate and get along? What about feuds that no one even rembers how they started?
If you haven't watched the movie Bulworth, you should. If you have, you know what I'm talking about. Now, HE had some ideas. "Everybody just gotta keep fucking everybody til we're all the same color". I particularly like his Obscenity speech. My favorite part. And he is absolutely right during it.
Now let's talk about the schools. We're so interested in academia that we're not getting life skills. We need people with real world experience teaching in classrooms, not people who only know how to teach and what they're supposed to teach. My mother had a Business Writing class in a college that boasted teaching skills that could actually be used. She also was having some real world experience with business writing at the time, and she knew that using what the class taught her would be counterproductive and make her lose credibility. It's insane. And on to high schools here in Bellevue. They are so obsessed with looking good and pushing us into AP classes that they're ignoring our needs. You are expected to take hard classes, take as many AP tests as possible and go to college. What if you don't want to go to college? What if you can't handle AP? And the curriculum, it's awful! The math, it's supposed to be "real life" oriented, and the scenarios are pointless and the teaching is awful and you're expected to take a class as hard as possible. Well, some people just aren't good at math, and not every job requires math. We're supposed to be "well rounded" but we're just adding stress and frustration. And if you're failing, you're practically encouraged to drop out. The problem is that the people in charge don't understand what really needs to be taught and how to teach it. In fact, we are teaching to test. We are teaching how to take the WASL, how to take the AP exams, how to take the SAT/ACT. And teachers are paid so little! They have some of the most important jobs, and they are paid less than people who write novels. It's the non-essentials that get big bucks. Things we don't need, whereas things we DO need get cut more and more!
Ok, I'm out of writing time, so I'll stop here for now.

sorry I've been a while
Answers to random questions:
1.If I am turned and then get pregnant, will my child be a vampire? Sometimes, sometimes not, sometimes a hybrid. It seems to be random.
2.Are there real slayers? Yes, but they only step in if there seems to be a problem.
3.How do cats/dogs react to vampires? Cats like vampires, dogs it varies, just like with humans.
4.I've heard "the Sleeper" mentioned a few times on "real vampire" websites. Is there such a vampire? Not that Ana knows of.
5.There was a vampire book where the vampire would mix blood in with his food and drink. Do other vampires do that? No.
I'm working on starting a garden. I'm going to see if I inherited Mama's black thumb.
Oh! We've got a new idea! We're thinking about moving to Europe in a few years. It probably won't be too soon since Ana and her friends are looking into buying a house, rather than renting as was originally planned. We're not exactly sure how we're going to get into Europe, but we'll see. I have some relatives that will probably help us financially.
I hope we can get to Europe. I like it there. I really love Italy, especially.
