Fourteen

I've really wanted to blog lately but never really had the time. Now, since I'm going to be home all alone today, I figured it would a good time. This will probably be a long one because a lot has happened lately. So here we go.

First off, I would like to talk about something that has happened very recently. As in last night. I'm a twitterer so I tweet every now and then and so does Nicka. She's very much devoted to it. Last night she sent a tweet. It said: "I don't enjoy having you around. I'm sick of hearing you say how much "better" you think you are than I am. You make me want to scream. Bye." I don't know if it's pointed towards me or what. I figure it might be since I'm around but I have NEVER said that I was "better" than her. Ever. I find this quite insulting. I have no hard feelings toward her and if she does have a problem with me, then I'd appreciate it if she came out and told me so that we can work things out. That'd be really nice since I consider her to be one of my best friends. It's hard for me right now because I don't have any friends here and she's the only one here I feel that I can really talk to and will listen and understand. Nicka, I'm sorry for whatever I did. If I did say something I probably didn't mean it how you took it because I would never say anything to you that would make you mad. You mean a lot to me and I really enjoy having you around =] Also just so she knows, I'm 17 and can buy movie tickets for rated R movies if she ever wants to go because I know she does.

Okay next thing on my list would be our trip to California. I went there to visit my grandparents with my dad, my stepmom Vangie(so if I say mom here I mean her), Nicka, and Kiana. There were some good times and bad times. Good would be going eat at Jollibee, having loads of fun at Soak City, just walking around the beach since it's way too crowded and cold to go in, getting Louis a nose ring, and finding movie star's houses. Bad would be the heat, being ignored part of the time by mom and Nicka and having my mom say I'm not family. That hurt. Especially for someone who has gone through having parents getting a divorce. So I talked to my grandma. She is seriously the most loving person I have ever met in my life. I think I'd go crazy without her. That night she talked to me about everything, God, my mom, my mom mom, my dad, my uncles and aunt, my cousins, her and my grandpa, her sisters. I just got a lot better insight on my whole family. I feel like I can understand them a lot more now. She really helped me and Vangie work things out too. I'm so glad things are good between us. I'm also glad I learned more about my family. It's weird. I found out that my grandma(my mom's mom. not the one I was talking with) divorced her husband(my mom's dad) when she was really little and then got remarried and divorced him right before my mom graduated. Strange. I'd gone through the EXACT same thing my mom did. I was just like wooooaaaah O.O weird much. Okay... well I've got more to write about and I don't want this blog to be too long!

After California, we drove up to very Southern Oregon, through Klamath Falls, Bonanza, and to the Gerber ranch. It's owned my our neighbor's mom Sylvia. She's pretty dang cool. She has hundreds of cows, a bunch of horses, three pigs, 3 dogs, and a lot a lot of kittens that live in the barn. It was really nice and relaxing. The second day we were there my dad and I, along with Sylvia, her granddaughter who lives by us, and Nathan her son in law, got to herd cattle! So we saddled up five horses, took them to near where the cows were wandering, and herded them through wilderness, cinder roads, rocks, water, and gates till they were in their new area by Gerber springs. Sylvia owns a lot of this land. That was one of the neatest experiences of my life. Oh and did I mention we had to tag baby calf's ears, castrate some, and take the horns off of one. Yeah. Nasty and bloody and lots of cow screams. But everything else was fun =]

LAST THING. Woohoo! School! I just had day two and three of freshmen orientation and Washington State University Vancouver! It was awesome. I met people like Lia, Devyon, Alexa, Zachary, Colby, Alex, Brooke(who had a viral infection and couldn't come the second day), Cassie, and some other people. The student amabassadors were epic. The first day I was with Sierra and Bret. They were really fun. The second and third days I was with Elena who was also really fun. We did a tour of the campus, played games like slaptastic, ride the pony, jedi mindtricks, and the shout out game. We also heard some of the proffessors talk about classes, what to do and not to do. We heard some other people talk and we ate food. Hawaiian BBQ. Hah. Deyvon and I were just like... uh wow. She lived on Oahu for 3 years and Maui for 9. She's like the palest person ever and has red hair. She's nice. So was everyone else. Oh and I'm really looking forward to going behind the scenes at the Oregon Zoo and taking a trip to Pullman to watch the Cougars play football! That'll be epic for sure.

One more thing before I end this. My mom's Subaru got lots of things fixed and if this next thing goes well, we might ship it here and I'll have a car! I need to get my permit as soon as she sends me my birth certificate since we need proof that my dad is related to me. Wtf. I was totally gonna bring some strange guy in and say it was my dad. *sarcasm*

I'll be sure to blog after my first day of school on MONDAY. Nervous...
