The Anton-Schroetter Violin

Well today I may be getting my new violin. In a previous post I said that I found a nice violin on craigslist, well I've been talking to the woman selling it and I'm going to check it out today. So hope its a good day.

Can't sleep again

So I can't sleep, this seems to happen to me a lot. Just staying up watching crappy tv that I really don't care for but I really have nothing else to do. Well today was dull, it was my grandmother's birthday so it basically involved my whole family, in the same room, at the same time; not one of my favorite things to deal with. My family drives me insane and each one of them is so different so excuse me if I rant but this might take awhile. Well my grandmother is the type of person who worries about me because now I actually have a friend that she has proof is really, she actually convinced herself that my friend was my dealer. I DON'T DO DRUGS!!! I SWEAR! Then there's my uncle; he's ok, a little over family oriented, but thats because his biological family (related to us by marriage) pretty much dumped him after he moved out; also he's always butting heads with my grandmother, they honestly cannot stand each other. Then my aunt, who goes on and on about nothing else but the fact that her life is hell and about how prejudiced school is towards her ADD son. Which brings us to her ADD son Grady, whom everyone else either talks about how brilliant he is or how poor he is for his disability. Tonight actually everyone was going on and on about how he's such a great soccer star and he's so good in math and science; and then my uncle, who no matter how smart he is has very bad sources of information, told us that kids who excel in mathematics have great musical talent and they were probably going to start Grady on the violin so him and I could play together. Over. My. Dead. Body. Then there's Quinn, who's the other son and isn't honestly that bad just that he has an obsession with the bathroom (small child, just recently potty trained), which is weird. And finally there's my mother; crazy, controlling, gives me orders for basic tasks like she's talking to a five year old except at lightning fast speed and several at once, overly affectionate, generally annoying, and has pretty much already decided my whole future (which involves being a famous writer, marrying one of her friend's sons, and letting her live in my mansion, which would only be a few minutes from where I grew up.) So yes, imagine all of these people in the room with me; an anti-social adolescent who is desperately craving attention over her accomplishments but knowing she won't get it because the rest of the family already know what she's capable of but don't understand it so the let it all go as if she's normal and never actually tried to show them; ignoring me, trying to get me to eat my dinner (which I probably wouldn't eat a lot of even if it was edible), and telling stories of how amazing they are, and pouting about everything they've done wrong for 3 hours straight. I wanted to go home and punch myself in the face.

Alright I'm done.

Also yesterday, I stayed over at Jackie's house and Cheyanna was there as well, I spent the whole night sandwiched between them, I couldn't move my arms.

Thinking of changing my blog

as in starting a different one, I don't know maybe I'm just being fickle but I think I should.

Well in other news, I decided a girl's fate today today. My friend was debating on whether to take piano or art next year so I used a trick I learned in one of my aunt's psych text books to help her decide. I tore a sheet of paper in half and wrote 'art' on one and 'piano' on the other, crumpled them up and told her to pick one. I did this because it is a proven fact that when making a decision by chance (such as this), the second before you chose you will make up your mind on which one you want. Its used in movies all the time, I can't believe more people don't know about this. But when dealing with problems of teens with over stimulated levels of oxytocin and serotonin running through their veins, its a very easy solution.

Interesting week....

Well its friday and I finished my project in DIM class early so this is what I do, kinda pathetic huh? well yeaterday I was at Jackie's house, mainly because I was avoiding my mother's friends, but also because we were finishing 221B on Sims. It's very accurate to the show we based it off of (bbc Sherlock) and I'm quite proud. Tonight we're finally making a Mrs. Hudson. I'm stoked! I got Jackie hooked on the show and I'm even starting to appreciate it more, but mostly my cousins thing I'm more of an anti-social nerdy freak. Whatever, I'm not close to the majority of my family anyways so I don't really care. The family I am close to lives far away, so that kinda sucks.... so thats really it... OH! VASE is next weekend, I'm going to be in it and my piece is amazing! I just hope I can finish in time.

Interesting company

So I am at my friend's house and its extremely... entertaining. By entertaining I mean we're creating a flat for John and Shelock who are getting married.

This is from awhile back I just never got to post it.

Well its raining....

Its cold and rainy and Sunday. Not happy :(. Its not that bad though, I have school work to keep me focused on and the blog (which I know I haven't been posting on but I don't generally have something to say every day). Well I found a very nice violin on craigslist that I really want and I just recently found out that I'd be going back to Ireland this summer to drive on the wrong side of the road and work in a hair salon. I'm going to be staying with my cousins and my cousin Brenda works in a salon and she's getting me a job helping out in the shop and her husband Jack is going to teach me how to drive and I'm going out on the road with him a couple times, he's a truck driver. I'm very happy about this. Also I'm not having a birthday this year, my birthday is going to be sitting in the nose bleed section of Mary Poppins (which I loathe) with my two least favorite people in the world right now. I'm already try to be around my family as little as possible and now I have to spend 3+ hours with my grandmother and cousin with no escape. Kill me or at the least get me a damn Tartis!

Bored.....

Why my mother thinks I refuse to get rid of my desk? Emotional value I can't stand to let go of, and I'm too lazy to set up a craigslist account.

Real reason: I've been performing experiments on that desk for years, some have damaged the insides beyond repair, she just doesn't know about it.
