After a super song long time, I've decided to get back into writing stuff down. So here's an update:

Bro: me little bro is now in 2nd grade, he's doing pretty well. He's really gotten into computer games though, and I wish he would get more into books. He's such a guy.

Sis: Well, it turns out what was making her sick (did I talk about how she has Celiac disease? I don't know why I wouldn't...) was McDonald's french fries. They had been secretly putting dairy +wheat in the flavorings of the french fries and she was very sick... Now that she's better though, she feels healthy enough to be as annoying as possible. We went running yesterday, and I was dying... I was so out of breath. She ran up beside me and was like, "Isn't this so much fun? We should do this every day!" Argh! I wanted to strangle her! (not really) and when I was catching my breath, she would jog in place, and when I walked, she would run ahead. It was pretty discouraging, let me tell you. gonk

Mom: she's all stressed out about my sister, plus she works in the inner city so she's always stressed out about her students, who are in 6th grade but do oral sex and stuff. yuck.

Dad: he's fine, I think... He wants to move to Japan, because when he goes over there for work, he always looses weight because their diet is so low-fat.

Me: I'm hangin' in there. In November I did NanoWrimo (National Novel Writing Month), which was awesome. I didn't think I'd write all 50,000 words, but I succeded. Now the question is: are any of those words any good? I sent it in to a writing contest, and I really hope that I win. I doubt that I will, but I would love to get published some day... *sighs dreamily* School would be going well, but I've got this stupid math teacher that is a huge jerk. He's an elitist, and he's kicking down almost all the girls to the normal level of math. His math tests never cover any of the materials that we learn about, and.. well, I could just rant on and on, but I don't feel like it.
Skating's not going that great. It's not like I'm going backwards, but I'm only skating twice a week when I used to skate 3 times a week, and that's had a huge impact on my skating. So I haven't really moved forward in a while, which is pretty discouraging.
And I'm freaking out about college. I've still got two years to go, but I have no idea what I'm going to do or which college I want to go to.
Plus, the whole Bush thing is getting me down. He said (I don't have the exact quote) that leaving Iraq would be up to future presidents, which means even more death, and a potential draft. I mean, 81 people died yesterday! Imagine if that happened every day? The situation there is getting worse, and I really think that we should just pull out. Us being there makes all the terrorists even madder, and there might not be as many attacks if we leave. I'd feel bad though, because the civilians will be screwed. Actually, they're screwed even if we stay, because they're still getting killed. So we might as well leave.
Well, I've got tons of stuff to do, but I'm going to keep trying to update. And next time I'll try to make it interesting so someone would actually enjoy reading it ^_^
