We just had this huge freakin storm... I live out in the midwest, and this storm passed through and it had power for us down for aabout 5 hours or so, and there is still power knocked out up the street from us and into town in collinsville. This storm was hell. WE got lucky, but there are about four houses in my neighborhood with trees on top of them. I think at one point there was hail, but I'm not sure. The wind was horrible. My best friend was with us too, and we went into the closet, cuz I was watching the storm from the window and I saw this huge branch just fall right next to my house, and then I heard things hitting the side of the house, so we went into the closet... I'm not one for cowering before storms either, cuz I once slept by a huge window during a hurricane when I was with my mom in Florida... she woke me up though to go to the closet at her place, and all I could do was grumble that she woke me up... nothing happened to the window either... but alas, we did go into the closet, cuz I had my sisters and my friend to worry about and would rather not get them hurt cuz of my daredevil tendancies... that was an amazingstorm though...

Well, first entry. Right now, I've got so many problems, I don't know what to do about them. course, me being of the female gender, part of the problem is guys, but there's also this whole thing with my parents. They've been divorced for awhile now, and my mom just got into trouble and is blaming me for it. Its a long story, but its really bringing my morale down. I haven't been in a truly good mood in so long, I'm starting to forget what the carefree times were like. Sure, I'm able to laugh every now and again, but it always seems forced, and there's always something on the back of my mind that bothers me... Just once again, I was to be able to live without wondering what's gonna happen next that's gonna throw my world into the abyss. But alas, is it not part of growing up? meh, nothing to do but push through it, I guess. I'm one of the few people that can't wait until school starts again. Maybe the classes this year will be difficult and take my mind off my surroundings by bogging me down with so much homework, I don't have time to think about anything else. Then there's all the afterschool stuff, like wrestling, and the fall play and the spring musical and track, if there's time for track... I just need something that takes my mind off the chaos around me, so I don't have to worry about things. My music choice is anything loud or anything forighn. Anything both is a plus. Course, there's still room for the Moody Blues and Three Doors Down, and even Savage Garden. Though I can't write music or sing, or even write any lyrics that are worth listening to, I love to play music on my flute and listen to music. The song choice is really just what i'm feeling at the moment, so there's alot of diversity. anyway, I think I've rambled on long enough... guess there's just alot on my mind... what's new?
