So... I'm in FL with all 15 of my relatives (on 1 side) and besides the fact that I didn't want to come (I wasn't supposed to be able to, but I managed to get off work, which also hasn't been going so well as of late... only 1 more week to go @ least!) now I'm stuck here with my brother too! He was in Berlin on work stuff and wasn't supposed to have this week off but suddenly he did and my parents up and bought him a ticket to FL!!!  I was trying to talk my mom into leaving in time so I could go to my friends slumber party friday night - friends that I haven't seen in months and won't be seeing like, ever come school time and I miss them so much!!! - and I almost had her, but now with H.W. here there's no way we're leaving before Saturday. It really sucks. He controled so much of my life before and now that I've had awhile without him that hasn't been the case and I've LIKED it, so suddenly being restricted again just because he's around has put me in a sour mood.

But... on to other things. So I've been riding some rollercoasters with my dad (much easier to do with 2 rather than the 3 it will b/c b/c of H.W.) but today I did something extra special that I've been waiting awhile to do. Are you ready?

I GOT MY EARS PIERCED!!!

yaaaaaaay!!!!!! Exciting. They're 3mm white gold Cubic Zirconiums or howev u spell it. They're really pretty and they match the white gold cross necklace that I've always worn since I got it on my b-day this year. It has 5 real diamonds in the middle though, instead of CZ, but it doesn't really matter much.

My parents haven't really said anything, although I know they're not particularly happy. I kept telling my mom that she has hers done so it's no fair that I couldn't, but she just kept saying "Yeah, and I was 25, out of the house, working and paying my own bills!" Well, ya know what? I paid for it myself and I just don't care. My brother was seething that I got it done, but I certainly don't care a bit about what he thinks. I've been wanting to do this for awhile, but stupid academy wouldn't let me. Technically I have 1 more week of work, and work doesn't allow jewlery, but Pastor Buz is just going to have to get over it if he wants me to work my last week, b/c it's a bit too late. lol

So anyway, I could use some lovin from my homies!!! lol. I miss all of you terribly. Thanks for listening to my slight rant. ttyl.
