It felt so good not to have to go to school today -- thanks to Memorial day. And it was a very eventful day. I actually left the house; farther than the back porch, and even out of the lines of my property -- I went to the pool! Yep yep. I actually didn't want to go this morning -- I do not like getting tanned, I hate it. I tan bad. And, I dunno, I like the pale look. :P I actually enjoyed myself, though.

The pool I went to, good 'ol Sweetbriar, was supposed to have been dug up and redone... But from what I could tell, they only made it more shallow, smaller, and made a new life guard shack. They also would not let me in without a "pass", as if I would come into LOW just to visit their ever so wonderful pool. Good thing my friend Lindsey was there to let me sign in as a guest.

Along with Lindsey came her ever-so-loveable step brothers and sisters. Once impaticular (sp), Chris, who I think is 10. He was on an "I wanna dunk people" kick, and after successfully getting Lindsey, Michael, and everyone else, it was my turn. He spent a good 1/2 hour on my back, clawing and kneeing me, trying to make me go under. Everyone was trying to get him off my back, but no matter what, he held on. His clawing and scratching make marks on my upper arm. He also used my shoulders as handle bars, as well as 2 other things, when he happened to miss my shoulders.

His clawing all over my shoulders and neck whipped off my sunscreen, and I didn't notice at the time. So, I ended up with horrible sunburn on my solders. Ugh. Just what I needed. Right now I'm not feeling the burn, and I hope I wont. I want it to peal all off -- I'll bleach my skin if I have to, so help me.

That boy, Chris, followed me around like a sick puppy the rest of the day. He kept hanging around me, Michael, and Lindsey like he was apart of our self-titled clique. I made all of us head on over to my house, which is a very short walk, so that I could get some aspirin (sp) to fix the headache I received from snorting so much water. On the way leaving, this boy actually had his arm around my shoulders, which was funny, since I was roughly a foot taller than him. I wriggled out of it, bitching about my poor, poor shoulders.

Ahhh... I am so tired. I woke up early, around 9, to talk to Alan, but something yet again happened to his alarm clock. Something always happens to his alarm clock. I am weak, and I need to put some meds on my sunburn before it starts to really burn.

I had work to do this weekend, for my multimedia class, but I did not feel like I had the time. How did three days go by so fast? I need to find a way to slow down the days before I go to Alan's -- I want that to last. I also need to get cracking on the new webring. It always feels like someone will come along and swipe the idea away from me before I have the chance to create it first. Yeah.

Another boring day coming to a close. I should have gone bowling today. I should have seen Star Wars today. But because my mother works a couple of days a week now, she is suddenly too tired to dive me anywhere. Which leaves me SOL. But oh well, I guess. I've made good of my time. With the download section almost done, my work on getting this page finished will be almost through. I still need to do the picture section, which should be easy.

I already have another project in the works. I am soon going to be running another webring, as I just created one today. It will be like HTML Sassy, but much, much more selective. I doubt it will have over 100 members. I can't revile the name just yet -- I don't want anyone to beat me to it. :ehh: But I'll tell everyone one thing... I may not be able to submit my own site, it will be so selective. But I am not sure yet.

I will probably add to this message later. Right now I am tired.

I've had a very, very horrible day. Today someone send me, as well as alot of other people, an e-mail concerning some AOL member web ring. They were also very, very stupid, as they did not send it BCC. This person also was able to e-mail the most stupid people they could possibly find, for all day all of them kept replying "Take me off this list," over and over and over. No one seemed to be doing anything. So, I decided to take the bull by the horns and start telling people just exacatly what they were doing, and tell them to stop. Then, people still further got smart with me. I didn't curse, because I knew they were already hot and mad, but I called them stupid. Which, was really the truth, and in most cases I was only returning the favor. Well, one or two people TOSed me (for those who don't know, they reported me for breaking the Terms of Service agreement for AOL members) and I ended up getting my first TOS for this account for saying "You are the stupid one," while others were saying much, much worse to me. So, in turn I decided to TOS everyone who send me any form of offensive e-mail, and what I got back from AOL in turn was an e-mail instructing me on how to block e-mail -- basically telling me that it was my falt I recieved the e-mails. Ugh. AOL is a mother fucker who gets TOS happy. This is my second account at AOL, and I lost the first one over stupid, stupid TOSes like this.

But anyway. I feel much, much better having venting all that out. Now all I need is the son of a bitches to come by my pages and read that. They will probably also delete my AOL profile, because it is "questionable." Ugh. But enough of this.

I am talking to Alan. He always has a way of making me feel better, no matter what he says. I love being in love with him... A little more than a year ago, I was sure I would die alone. I felt that way for 5 years or more. It's a beautiful feeling to be able to look to my future and get the warm feeling that he will be there

... On a totally different note, I feel relieved to have finished my fonts section. Alot of work went into the detail -- and it's a shame that I know now many people will see it, as my web pages arn't exacatly places where people flock to. But oh well, though... It's my toy, it does not mattter the number of people who see how shiny it is.

I am so tired. I have been working on my pages, I am barely able to stay awake. I have been too tired lately, this morning I fell asleep in Drivers Ed/Health... They were passing around some sort of tire thing, to show everyone what tires look like inside the rubber, and I woke up when the boy finally threw it on my desk after trying to get my attention but couldn't, I was so deeply asleep. I guess it was pretty funny to see -- it was the first time I had ever slept in that class. I figured if all the preps were doing it, hell, what would anyone care if I did. Somehow they seem to be more graceful even at slacking off. Bitches.

<Sigh> I would like to talk to Alan.. no real reason, just to be talking to him... But he went out with some friends to an amusement park, and I am left here waiting. I will not be able to stay awake long enough to still be here when he finally gets home. My parents also disappointed me today, by not wanting to take me to pick strawberries. And even after I wore my mother down enough to take me, she let me drive, and I had to turn around once I got there, because they were out of strawberries. It sucked very much.

I have something to look forward to, though. I am going to be going to the pool this Monday with Michael, Ingird, and Lindsey. It should be nice. I think it has been at least a year since I have swam more than a few strokes, or a couple of dives. Probably being on the swim team scared me. Oh well, though. I will have a good time. I have an urge to get water up my ears and nose, and I have a hankering (sp?) for sunburn.

I think I should go play some games at candystand.com. They usually put me at ease after working of these pages. Hasta manana.

I posted the unfinished Mistress section to quiet the crowd for a while. I have had to inspiration to work on my web pages. It feels like everything is moving so slowly with the last couple of days of school lagging, and I still feel hurried. If anyone else has felt the burn of this is Michael, who I bark at everyday. People in out MultiMedia class say we sound like an old married couple. Eww.

Only one more day and then a 3 day weekend. I should be able to finish my web pages by then. I hope. It's distracting me from the webpage that I was so excited about making in MultiMedia. Oh well.

Why is it I have to live with 2 people where one likes it too hot and the other likes it too cold? And cheap ass people, too, who can afford to buy beanie babies off the internet that they are never able to sell, but yet cannot fix things like getting AC in this room. Is that THAT hard?
