Yes fans! After a long time away I am back in my old room again and hopefully things will be a little bit better, but I am not counting on it. i finally finished moving in yesterday and god knows it was a hassle, as neither my Dad nor Josh was very into helping me, and boxes full of books are much heavier than one would think!!
School has also been lame thus far today. I had a talk with the counselor over the phone and they say that, since its a private school, they can make certain "comprimises" to help me graduate as long as I "fulfill certain obligations". This involves a lot of extra homework and essays, and tutoring some sixth grader who has no mother. I am not really down with this, but I guess it is better than living on the street or with Josh.
I am seriously considering the next round of husband ads. maybe this time I will finally attract someone worthwhile. It seems that nobody at the school (at least teachers or the principal) has really caught on about the site yet so maybe there is a chance I can keep it going on!!!
GOTTA GO! FRENCH CLASS!

PS- The Kid I am tutoring is named "manny." who names their kid that?
JAN. 7, 2003,
Well, I had my first tutor session with "Manny" yesterday, and it did NOT go as well as I had hoped. he is a kid with a serious attitude, and he knows nothing about math or french so we have to start completely from the beginning. let me say that although I get okay test scores, I am also not a genius at these subjects. So why exactly am I the one to tutor Manny, who doesn't even care about learning?
Also, he said that he had heard from a lot of high schoolers that I was crazy, so was I? I said screw you but the librarian was near so she gave me a terrible look. So I just stared at him for a long time until he looked back at his book. I helped him make some flash cards and he didn't even say thank you.
I tried to sit down with my dad last night and have a talk, but he is still so angry at me that his face turns dark red. I asked if he wanted me to think about maybe living with my mom next and he said that maybe that would be a good idea. I don't know what he is thinking, chosing Miranda over me. She is not that young and eventually she will start to look like an old lady and then what? Miranda, by the way, will not stop baking. She made a whole lot of brownies over the weekend, and then yesterday she made bread from scratch! She is going to get fat soon enough. Then won't he be sorry!

Do you know the only thing more annoying than manny? Manny's friends. The whole time we had tutor time yesterday they looked in the window. One of them even flipped me off. In sixth grade! I told Manny not to hang out with them because they would lead him down the wrong path and then he told me to "eat this." I don't think manny even knew what he meant.
My sister had another breakdown last night while she was watching Star Dates. She just started crying and then ran to the bathroom. Miranda was going to go after her but my dad said just let her get it out of her system. I told him he was a jerk and I went and knocked on the door and asked if she wanted to talk. She said no, maybe later.
Then, when I was getting ready for bed she came in and sat and told me all sorts of stuff, like how she cheated on her husband and how she's a bad person. I said hell yeah. Why would you cheat on a nice husband, for christ's sake?" She said she wasn't sure. She was just lonely. I kind of understand that, but not really. Then she started crying again. I tried to make her feel better but I was sort of tired. Maybe she'll talk more after school. I kind of hope she doesn't, though.

I am starting to seriously worry about this war. Do they draft women now? My friend Erika had a dad who went to Vietnam, and he was totally mean and crazy. My dad went to college, but he still says that if we go to war, they'll draft women in combat and nobody will be safe from fighting Saddam.
I just think the whole idea of war is stupid. I mean, who wants to kill people? Not me, that's for sure. I don't want to die either.
Everyone needs to lighten up a little.
