WE'RE MISSING THE OUTER MOST PART OF OUR WALL!
With wind gusts up to 69 mph, our little trailer doesn't have much of a chance. It tore off part of our outter wall, and caused a lot of damange to the front of the house. I woke up at around 3 last night to the wind and sever thunderstorm. It sounded like the house was going to blow away.
I woke up and walked to the window in time to see a tree topple over, and something white fly past the house.
Dropping my younger sister off to school this morning, there were dozens of trees embedded into cars, power lines, and poles knocked over, and other neighbors were flooded out.
NOW we get to brace for it all over again for round two. Currently we're still in a wind advisory, with the wind at 30 mph. Today, starting around 3:00 PM we can expect it to be supposedly worse with hail, flash floods, tornados, sever winds, and sever thunderstorms.
I'm glad the schools only have half a day today. The students would be getting out RIGHT as the storms are supposed to pick up again. I would have been furious with the schools otherwise. Anyway ^^; cross your fingers that we don't blow away by the end of the day today.

My first chapter to an actual on-going fanfic! Yay! I'm busy, and updates might come slow, but I definitely wanted to share it with everyone! I hope everyone enjoys. I included my one-shot because I just enjoy sharing yummy Kyouru goodness.
Jaa ne!
T_T I am SO sun-burned right now. I'm not kidding....I can't even walk. It's pathetic because I put sunblock on nearly every hour....and yet this is still the outcome! It really hurts, and I'm as red as a tomato. Not going to be able to sleep comfortably tonight at all.....
If I actually had a door and could sleep nekkid....I would. ;_; (And I always found that really gross.)

Some parents I SERIOUSLY can't stand.
When the daycare calls you at work to say "Your child is throwing up, has a high fever and diarrhea, it does NOT mean that he or she is fine....and that 'Sorry. I can't pick him up any time soon *click*", is alright.
>=(
I'm SO angry. That poor kid was at the daycare (probably getting the rest of them sick too as two others were sent home sick as well) ALL day....just utterly miserable and just wanting to be held or sleep. I understand that it's hard and parents need to work...but when your baby is that sick...you can't just ignore it.
The worst part is...she brought him in LYING to us. She said her child had made himself get sick by sticking his hand down his throat....he came in covered in vomit. Of course we cleaned him and gave him new clothes....but when he threw up again immediately after she left....we knew something was up. He got sick at least ten times while at the daycare today.
Seriously....some parents REALLY suck.

Yay. I'm really excited. This will be my LAST week working at Coral Creek Club. Last week Chutes and Ladders daycare got a hold of me to tell me that they want to hire me. I had applied there before, but couldn't because of scheduling and things going on with my current job.
Anyway...a month or so ago my dad and his girlfriend broke up. They are back together NOW....but at the time it was really frustrating. Because Laura took the car, I had to take a cab to work every day. That got...EXPENSIVE and fast. It was taking a good part of my paycheck just to get there....so I reapplied at the daycare. They kept my application on hold, and said that if they needed some one again...they would call.
TA-DA!! They called me last week and told me that they wanted me! I told my boss...at Coral Creek. I had been SO scared to tell him for some reason. I had nearly been on the point of tears. He gave me a "are you stupid" look and told me it was fine. XD That if I wanted to come back again and there was an opening I'd always have a job there.
So I'm really happy! Starting this Monday I'll be starting work at 9 until 6, with an hour lunch break. I think it's going to be fun. ^^ I absolutely adore kids, so it'll be like getting to play all day (though I know it will be work).
Just had to share my happiness! I can't wait! <3

Geez...I sux at drawing. But oh well. 
What does your drawing say about YOU?
What it said for me:
You tend to pursue many different activities simultaneously. When misfortune does happen, it doesn't actually dishearten you all that much.
You are a thoughtful and cautious person. You like to think about your method, seeking to pursue your goal in the most effective way.
You like following the rules and being objective. You are precise and meticulous, and like to evaluate decisions before making them.
You have a sunny, cheerful disposition.
Hmmm, I found it amusing. *sniffle* How come it didn't include lakes? I wanted to draw flowers and butterflies but without a real mouse it was hard to draw anything at all >.<
I ended up leaving work sick. I got sick after they opened up some fish that happened to be bad. >.< I was already feeling ill...it simply didn't help. ^^; Not anything exciting going on here....I slept all day. I DID manage to get a post on today though on Tales...so I'm feeling happy about that. *accomplished*.
Not if only I could bring myself to work on Hana....

I called home and got a hold of my brother, and as usual asked him to tell my dad that I was ready. He told me he didn't know where he was. It was five when I got off. He told me that dad had been home just a little bit ago so he was sure it wouldn't take long, and he would just send him over when he got home.
I had been the last person to leave, along with one of the guys up front. I told him I was sure my ride would be here soon so he didn't have to worry. So of course he took off.
The first half an hour didn't bother me so much. I always bring books with me to work, so I simply read that.
Then an hour passed by.....
I don't have a phone. There was no one I could call, nothing close was nearby within walking distance.
Then another hour.
"Dad should get here SOON though....he knew he needed to pick me up."
A half an hour.
I feel so stupid. I sat out there, in the dark, like an idiot forever just WAITING. Because there wasn't anything I could do. The security man finally pulled up to me as I finally stood up to begin walking home. It was obvious he felt very bad and asked if there was anything he could do, if I would like for him to call a cab.
I finally told him that I thought that sounded like a good idea.
The cab was a half an hour late.
My dad just got home. I don't have any idea what he was out doing. I'm not even going to ask. It wouldn't make a difference now.
I'm only bothered that......I was so easily forgotten.

So tomorrow is the big 'Men's Invitational' ....in which we have a million rich people come and play golf and eat a bunch of things for free.
Good for them....
Bad for the employees.....
At least for the kitchen staff. The job of the guys who work up front is to simply mingle with the members.....how awful, right?
Gawd, I'm so mad today again. Laura is REALLY starting to bother me, and I honestly don't know what to say or do about it. I can't because it's a double edged sword. She's my dad's girlfriend. It isn't like my dad cares to listen to me. To him I'm just a burden meant to clean up the dishes and food around the house that I'm not allowed to eat, use, or have.
I can't start stuff at work though either, and honestly....although Jeff, my boss, is a good guy, he has serious issues with confrontation and doesn't ever do anything about other individuals who happen to be slacking. So I guess it's my misfortune that I care to do a good job at work.
She volunteered me to go into work TWO HOURS EARLY tomorrow. Didn't even ASK me if I wanted to....because my answer would have been "Heck no". The day after that it's a 16 hour day....and another 16 hour day after that. It only continues to get worse from there. Why in the world would I bet wanting to go in EARLY? She conveniently has the largest function of the year off.....but she wouldn't go in herself.
*FUMING*
I still can't understand it! What is worse is that today we both went in as waitresses. You know how many tables she waited on today?
None.
Would you like to know how many tables I waited on today? More than I can even remember to count. I'm SOOOO tired of it. I honestly....don't know what she did all day long, other than listen to her complain to me about how tiring her FRIDAY is going to be...because she is going to have to travel by plane.
"Yes please....complain to me how exhausting it is going to be to sit on your butt and wait for a plane to catch so you can have a week's worth of vacation while I pull about 4 to 5 days of crazy hours while not only covering what I have to do but what YOU were supposed to be here to do as well." Like I really want to hear it.
Then she got mad at my dad because he told her he would have to drop her off at the airport an hour early in order to come back and be able to pick up my brother and me.
ROAR.
Gah......screaming would feel so good right now except that the entire house is asleep. I wish I could go to bed as well but I REALLY need to get my fafsa in. I FINALLY got my PIN today...after waiting forever. I need to call my mom and get her to give me the rest of her W-2 information because I don't know how to answer everything on my own. She wont get off until 10.....which is 11 my time and I have to be up EARLY in the morning (Thanks Laura). Since my schedule is going to be so horrible I really wont have any time until next week, so I know I need to get it in now. I really need my financial aid. I desperately want to go back to school so I don't have to be stuck here any longer.
Sorry guys, I'm going to reply to you in here because I haven't had time to respond to your responses any other time this week. I truly appreciate all of your support.
eletriarnation, I love you. We do share a lot of things in common, especially when it comes to things around the house. >.< I keep telling you.....we need to go to school together~! XD Come with meee! *wantes to steal you*. Remember? I'm supposed to adopt you. XD (Heather dreams = kind of strange)sari_15 , You're one of my strongest supports and dearest friend. <3 I really can't wait to get back. I know I'm going to be a lot less emo to talk to then. >.<m_cyrus_weiss , AWWWW!! I would SO totally go with you right now! I've missed talking to you. You are the awesomeness. Thanks so much. Once this crazy week is over, I'll try to be on aim more. I've avoided a lot of online chat recently, simply because of the stress I have been feeling outside of the internet. Thanks so much for the support. You're such a wonderful person. <3 I can't wait to hear from you again.It is almost 11.....I wish time would hurry up. T_T I want to go to bed.

I HATED work today.
Normally I really don't mind work so much. It's not a bad job, I'm paid a decent amount of money, and despite some of the rich people that I have to put up with all the time in general....MOST the members are really nice, friendly people. Not everyone is a 'Yusk' for those of you who know what I'm taking about (Gawd....seriously has to be one of the rudest individuals I've ever met)
Anyway, so we had a function today. The Ladies Invitational. I was scheduled to come in at
I'm SOOO angry. I would NEVER leave a fellow worker with an entire mess like I was left with today. everyone knows that if there is a large mess you stay and help clean up before leaving...that's how it works, but since I am apparently "such a good worker" everyone thought it would be fine to leave to me. Not only did I have to bus all their tables, move all the heavy tables and chairs back into their places, bring all the food and set ups in, do the dishes, do the laundry, do the floors, wrap and put everything away, serve the alcohol, do the chits, waitress four different tables of five but have to COOK for them as well.
I would *never* have left just one person to do all that on their own. It makes me mad and simply for the fact that I go out of my way to help each and every one of them. I'm a HARD worker. I get my work done, I don't slack off, take a million breaks, I'm always right on top of things....and ALWAYS go out of my way to help my fellow employees. I don't think it is so much to ask for a little bit of respect in return. It's just so frustrating. I don't know how many times I've went in for some one sick or offered to trade days in order for the convenience of another.
Half of what has me frustrated is the fact that Laura (fellow employee and my dad's girlfriend) seriously takes advantage of the fact that I work there with her. You would think that after all the times I went in for her when she was sick....she could have repaid the favor for me. Of course not. She was 'really looking forward to' her day off the other week. It wasn't like _I_ wanted to go in the days she was sick but I did it. Not even just because I knew my dad would make a huge deal out of it if I didn't.
This week I'm going to be working 70 hours and for three days pulling 16 hour days. Originally Laura was supposed to be there. Jeff told her she would HAVE to be here for those days....and after those three she could go on her week trip to
So what did she do.............
She planned her flight for the very first day of the function.
What the hell? He TOLD her she would be needed. Can a person be that dense? Laura's not a bad person, but she REALLY doesn't think and her inability to do so makes others have to pick up the slack after her. I would have thought after making a huge mistake like that she would try a little harder at work...or at least help me out since I'M the one who has to cover because of her mistake........but I guess that's too much to ask.
GAH. I'm so annoyed. I just keep venting and venting....but after dealing with the same crap week after week....I'm seriously starting to get tired of it. I'm really tired of people taking advantage of me. It happens all the time though.
They asked if I wanted to go out to Wal-Mart with them tonight. My family is so sad.......Wal-Mart runs are like a huge thing. Because I live in my dad's house I'm not allowed to go out after its dark (despite the fact that I'm an adult)....not allowed to eat any of the food in the house but contradictorily not allowed to go out and BUY any of my own either. I'm not even 'supposed' to frickin' leave the house on my DAYS OFF. I'm seriously trapped here...have to put up with Laura's MISERABLE daughter on a daily basis (thank goodness for only another few days) My dad's alcoholic problems and then deal with crap like THIS.
Welcome to my dysfunctional life.
If only it was good as it sounds.

My great grandfather ended up in the emergency room last night. He's on life support and apparently in a lot of pain. Tonight, once his youngest son gets there and says goodbye, they are going to pull the plug.
;_; I'm stunned.....and so utterly devestated. It isn't as though I didn't know he was old....but he was doing so well when I last spoke to him. He was one of the only family members who cared to REALLY be there for me, especially when I was living on my own on campus.
My grandmother told me to email him two days ago...that he wasn't feeling well and missed me. I put it off and decided that I'd email him later this week. Now....I wont ever get that chance again. ;_;

Escaping the magnitude of what happened that day....is very impossible, and I don't think it should be forgotten, as sad as this horrible event was. There is no way to describe the emotion, the pain and horror so many people felt that day, here in
Today should be a day of remembrance.
Last night I watched several documentaries, and today am trying to do what I can for
I remember first learning about the attacks. I was in school, and was just coming out of my math class. A girl, I didn't normally talk to but was friends with, came running down the halls to me. She looked so shocked and upset. Her firsts words were "Oh my God Heather, the world trade center has been hit!"
I didn't know what to think, it seemed, at the time, like such a far fetched thing to say, except that she had seemed so genuinely upset by it. From there, I walked into my history class....and froze in horror as all those who were in the class...watched the news, feeling utterly helpless as a second plane flew into the first tower. The emotion that welled up within the room had been an almost tangible thing. You could feel it thick in the air, because this terrible event was unfolding before us....and there, within our Junior High in
Immediately after, an announcement was made by the head of our school. She told all the teachers to turn of their televisions and resume their normal schedules. I was in history class however....of course our teacher kept it on for as long as possible, before each room was checked to make sure the televisions were off.
I didn't hear much else until I got home, and immediately turned on the T.V. It happened that as soon as I turned it on....they were showing clips of few individuals jumping from the upper floors. I just burst out into tears and had to turn it to another news station. I couldn't take watching those people in the last few seconds of their life.
I sat in my living room all day and night, praying as hard as I could that there would be survivors. That God would protect those firemen trying to rescue those buried beneath the debris and rubble. I couldn't understand how any one could ever be so hateful....that they would attack those defenseless....without guns.... just normal citizens going to work every day, trying to provide for their families, never having expected to be hurt in such a terrible way.
I never used to watch the news until 9/11. I'd watch each day, hoping that more survivors would be pulled free. I remember watching the tear stained faces of families who stood on the ends of streets, holding signs of their loved ones, and searching desperately for any sort of word from the firemen and police. It was the most heart wrenching thing I had ever seen, and I felt awful for all the places in the world where things like this are a common place, realizing just how much pain they must experience.
Thank you so much to firemen, the police, and the citizens who of their own free will offered a hand in the recovery and clean up process. Thank you to those who lost their lives in the plane crash that stopped the terrorists from further hurting our country and to the men and woman who lost their lives, and their families. We will never forget, and you will never be forgotten.

I haven't posted in a while. ^^; I think I remember saying that I would make sure to keep up more with that too. RAWR. There really isn't much to report though. Work......work is dull, I don't want to go today.
Adam, a guy from work, has been annoying me more and more lately. Some people just don't know how to keep out of other's personal bubbles. He has a girlfriend, but is ALWAYS getting all over me. It makes me uncomfortable because for one...he's assistant manager....two...I don't like him like that, and three he HAS A GIRLFRIEND. What the heck? If my boyfriend acted like he always does toward me...I'd dump him in an instant.
Oh well. I'm going back home around Labor Day weekend. I still need to call my mom and let her know. I'll probably do that today or tomorrow.

Okay, so it is no surprise that I haven't had a very good last few weeks. I've been under a lot of stress, and it seems that just as soon as something begins to look good, I have to get knocked back down again with another piece of information at home. I really need a break. =/

- Mood:

I feel so confused. I've had a very large issue floating in the back of my head now for a while, and I really don't know what to do. I keep holding it off, putting it off until later, but it's creeping up so fast, I don't really have a lot of time to do that anymore.
Everyone knows that I'm going to be spending the summer in Baltimore Maryland. I'm super excited, because two of my best friends live there, and I adore them so much! It's amazing to think that I'm being given the opportunity to spend time and do things like this! It makes me so happy, and I can't wait!
My problem is both my friends want me to stay at their house. I feel so torn. It was mentioned to me last night, that I really should begin considering (I want to assure that person that I'm not upset over your asking or anything like that. I've actually been thinking a lot on it as well). I know that both people claim that they wont be hurt...no matter what I decide. But the fact of the matter is SOMEONE is going to be hurt, no matter what they say, because I'll have to choose some one, and let down the other. ;_; I don't want to do that.....I love both people SO much, and the very last thing I ever want to do is cause them any sort of pain, or hurt over a decision i have to make.
What am I supposed to do? I HAVE to work. I really need the money. College is so expensive, and my parents aren't helping me out at all. In fact, sometimes my mom steals money from me, so it can get so hard. I'd really like to work full time. Some one suggested I should try to work at a Japanese restaurant, so that I can further my language skills. I don't know how often Japanese allow some one like me to work at their restaurant, but I thought that would be a cute idea.
Anyway, the point is that I can't really live half the summer with one, and the second half of the summer with the other, because that would cause transportation issues, unless I could start busing. Though they live near each other though....it's still a good distance apart. ;_; I'm so upset.
My Grandmother began asking what I was doing for the summer too. ='( I told her that I would be living in Maryland, and could stay with two friends. Her first comment was "how you can be willing to take so much from people you consider to be friends? You're at least going to PAY them, right?" It just made me...feel utterly awful. ;_; Of COURSE I'd be willing to pay either person, but I'm sure neither would ever accept anything like that, even if I insisted. Because of that, I am going to do my part of course. I can help clean around the house, and do whatever I can to show my appreciation! Because I am so appreciative. I don't want anyone ever thinking that I'm not... =(
Anyway, I think I'm a bit over emotional right now. I woke up still feeling extremely sick, and having confusing dreams all night. I'm drinking tea like crazy mad. I really hope it'll help. Anyway...I guess the point of this journal entry is....I don't want to hurt anybody. I love everyone soooo much, and if I thought I was going to hurt one of them...it'd feel like the end of the world. I want everyone to be happy, and I don't want a decision I have to make to negatively affect anyone, or for anyone to feel I'm abusing their hospitality by staying there with them. It's a really awful feeling.
