The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Today, my Oma, my Opa and I went to Opa's mother's house to visit her. I haven't seen her in three months.



I am truly proud to call this woman my family. Grams (that's what I affectionately call my great-grandma) is 88 years old (89 in August) and hasn't been to a doctor since 1986 when she had breast cancer. Yepp, that's right, she's a cancer survivor and hasn't seen a doctor in 30 years. She doesn't take any medicine, either and she's super healthy.



Not only is she a cancer survivor, but she also takes care of her mentally challenged daughter and mentally challenged granddaughter.



She also holds all of the family dinners during the holidays and she's as sharp as a tack. Though sometimes she calls me by my cousin's name (which doesn't phase me because I get called my mother's name by my Oma all the time) but my cousin and my names start with the same two letters.



This woman is amazing. She lost her husband when her oldest child (my Opa) was 17 and her youngest (my Uncle Drew) was 4. She has also lost her youngest child (Drew) to cancer in 2004. Her son-in-law also died of cancer about 4 years ago.



Grams is my hero and my inspiration. I hope I'm as healthy as her when I'm her age (assuming I make it to her age)



I LOVE YOU GRAMS!!!

Hi everyone.



Just another update. I had an abdominal migraine last night. I was crying so my mom came into my room to help calm me down. It helped a little but the pain is a lot to deal with. I was supposed to go to school today (I went Monday but not the rest of the week) but last night took a toll. I slept for around 12 hours. There's no possible way I can go to school the morning after a bout.



If you're wondering what it feels like for me, it's kind of like somebody is taking my stomach and wringing it like a washcloth. Mix in some spasms and a constant sever cramp and you have what it feels like when it's bad.



On a regular day, it's just a constant cramping but just about anything gets my mind off of it (except doing homework) I tend to play the Sims 3 to get my mind off of it because I have to "take care" of other "people" and it's just fun to get lost in a world that you created.



So there's my update. I'll probably do one of these every few days if I get the chance.



Hope everyone is having a great day!

I went back to school today. I'm still doing online classes but I get to do them at school. :) It was great to see all my friends again.



The bad part, I had another bout last night and didn't get much sleep because the pain kept waking me up.



But despite that, I still managed to get myself up at 6, go to school, and make it through the day.



I also got new glasses today! It's nice to be able to see right.



And, my 17th birthday is in exactly one month! I'm so excited!!! I told mom that I'd rather have a good camera than a car. I love photography and I can do more with a camera right now than I could with a car.



So there's my update. Hope everyone has a great day!

You know, there are a lot of people out in the world that think homosexuality is wrong or that it's ruining the world.



Love is Love! We as human beings cannot help who we love. Homophobes are part of what's wrong with this world because they can't accept the fact that the times are changing and it's alright for people to be gay.



I have a friend who's gay and he is one of the sweetest, most caring people I know! And a damned good actor at that! I fully support him in being gay and I'm so glad he had the courage to tell people.



A lot of people think that I'm gay, but I'm not. Just because I'm not boy crazy or because I don't beg a boy's attention. And I always have my hair short! So what!? It's easier to maintain.



I don't know if you've heard of it at all, but there is something called the No H8 campaign. It's a silent protest to proposition 8 in California to ban same sex-marriage. My sister and I fully support the No H8 campaign, along with many celebrities, gay and straight.



People in the world need to be more open-minded and accept the fact that there are now men who love men and women who love women. It's not going to change!

Well, my doctors (all the different ones I have) are trying their best to give me something that won't effect my abdominal migraines. Such a shame it isn't working like they planned.



I got a bad one last night despite taking my meds when I had to. My doctor wants to increase the dose on the medication that's supposed to help with the cramps. I hate taking pills as it is, let alone ones with a higher dosage.



There are so many things that can trigger the migraines, it's hard to know what happened yesterday. I had two different doctor appointments. Maybe it was the stress of those? I don't know. Then I had McDonald's for lunch. Maybe it was that. Even playing my favorite video games makes my stomach hurt because of the good stress that it causes.



The doctors told me that in a few years, the migraines should move from my stomach to my head (thank god) I'd rather have head migraines than abdominal ones. They're so much easier to handle.



So that's all for now I guess.

I find quite amazing that some people who bully others think that they aren't bullying and often speak against it. A girl that was and still is bullying me always says that bullying is bad and shouldn't exist. Apparently she can't see that her degrading and belittling others is bullying.



Our school had a play over the weekend and I was working backstage, not as an extra. I walked in and in the most negative tone she said "Did you bring a change of clothes?" and I replied "No. I didn't know I needed to. I wasn't here the past two weeks because I was sick" (plus I wasn't going onstage so I would need the change of clothes for the scene changes anyway) and she said "Well you're fucked because you won't know the scene changes either"



So I sat on the couch that's backstage and proceeded to talk to one of my other friends. This bully went on to talk about me with one of her friends. I know she was talking about me because I could see her eyes and her friend's eyes look at me and when I looked they quickly looked away. I know I'm a better person than to let it get to me, but it hurts that she does it at the ONE place I go to get away from people talking crap about me.



My dad told me to slap her when she talks to me like I'm a piece a garbage on the side of the road because she won't expect it. I let her talk about me.



As Marilyn Monroe once said, "When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them."



I bring up that quote because this girl is trying to be just like me. Back when we were friends (yes we were friends. I don't know what I was thinking) she changed her music preferences from country to rock. Then she started buying band shirts (I often wear band shirts to school) and skinny jeans (skinny jeans are my bottoms of choice) and canvas sneakers (pretty much the only kind of shoes I wear) She then got her ears pierced a second then third time (I have four piercings in each ear and I've heard her say she wants to get another piercing in her ears) Then, I got my hair cut into a bob style, as did she. I have black plastic-rimmed glasses (when I don't wear my contacts) and when she got glasses, she got ones very similar to mine. And THEN, when I talked about getting a Monroe Piercing (which I did just before Christmas) so did she.



It seems every time I do something new, she tries to copy it. They say that mockery is a form of flattery, but not when somebody tries so ungodly hard to be like and to bully you so they feel superior.



So there's my rant for the day.
