Is completely gone. It was dying yesterday, late yesterday it got so terrible. Literally, someone called me, I answer, and they go "I'm not going to lie to you Jer, you sound like shit."
I'm going to try to go to the Doctor ASAP but mum informs me that I can't go on a Saturday for some reason so I'm assuming Sunday is out as well.
Hello, everyone! At the moment I am at my grandmother's house in Socastee (a community about 10 minutes from Myrtle Beach and 10 minutes from Surfside Beach) and I thought I'd drop in to say hello.
In the last few weeks I finally got a car, a '97 Ford Taurus, and it's lovely. I've named it... "Millie"
But it's been hell - we decided to drive it to the beach and it started overheating near Charlotte (only in areas with high traffic, but not on open highways). And after a few days of working on it my dad thinks he has finally fixed it - but we will just have to drive it tomorrow and see.
I've been here since Monday night and still have not seen the ocean! It's a bit disappointing to be honest. I've just been sitting in the house, watching television... and oh yes, babysitting. One of the downfalls of the beach house - my aunt lives right down the street, literally within walking distance.
But, with a new day there is new hope, right? I'm thinking Broadway at the Beach (KISS COFFEEHOUSE! WHOOO!) and then possibly going to the beach... in a way I'm looking forward to that and in a way I'm not... it's always hotter than hell and crowded, and honestly the ocean scares me.
We'll just see what life throws at us.
I'm going home Sunday-ish, but we are not really on a schedule because it's not a hotel and we are free to come and go as we please.
Well, anyways... I think I'll leave you poor bastards alone. Goodnight, everyone!
That... is my arm. After a week of constant stress, worrying, and sadness, I have a rash. Shit.
Alright, let's start at the very beginning, last Monday.
My grandpa died, at his birthday party. I had to watch my little cousin to make sure she didn't see what was happening, but she was still pretty upset. Even I didn't know what was going on, I figured something bad had happened but not death.
Then my great aunt comes down for the funeral. She has some major panic attacks, and they take her to the hospital. They tell her she can't go to the funeral and send her to the hospital in Burlington (where she lives) for another day.
Alright, so the funeral goes fine... as well as a funeral can I suppose. Other than a little fight my uncle caused in bad taste, everything went okay.
Saturday, my mom goes to the bank... and totals her car. A speeding mail truck (it was going 60 in a 25!) hit my mother's car. She's alright, a broken rib and chest contusion, but her car isn't. Completely screwed, I'm afraid.
Then, I had to start and finish a 5 page research paper.
Then, I return to school on Monday and a teacher informs me that my absenses will probably count as unexcused.
That's where the rash came from, I think.
So I went and talked to the office, and Willie (the receptionist) told me that she will probably count them as excused.
I don't like the word probably, but that's all I've got for now.
My grandfather passed away yesterday on his 70th birthday. We were just about to have a party for him and my cousin (it was her birthday too) when she discovered him in the bathroom in the floor.
She's only 3 so she doesn't really understand what'd happened...
and I love to get the chance to play (and sing it!)
I figure it's about the happiest sound going down today!
The message may not move me, or mean a great deal to me,
but hey! it sounds so groovy to say!
Alright, so, blog time.
I've been horrendously tired the last few days.
...I guess that's because I've been taking naps around 6 and waking up at 8, then staying up til 1 reading NC17 fan fiction (basically, porn in writing).
...but I love my smut.
I'm trying to decide what I want for my birthday, it's coming up pretty soon. Last year... I don't really remember what I got last year. As a matter of fact, my aunt forgot my present last year.
My cousin's birthday is coming up next week, I have to get her something. She'll be three, and she's adorable.
I think I'll go to bed pretty soon.
PS: Any ideas of what I should get for my birthday? I don't want any guitars/basses/stuff, I've pretty much neglected my bass for 2 years.
