Of Pinky Promises and Defluffeh

Defluffeh...you know who you are...if you're reading this, just know that I hate your guts and you better stay FAAAAAAAAAR away from me until all the problems you made are fixed and forgiven...lest you suffer a sorry fate, especially considering that I can beat your butt any day of the week!

To those who are not Defluffeh, here's the issue. (And no, I'm not going to tune this down and make it funny for all my invisible fans, because seriously, blogs are for saying what you think, and what I think about Defluffeh is NOT funny!) Defluffeh, suffering from some obscure inferiority complex or some other such thing I guess, decided to have a hissy-fit supreme when the friends of LAO's friend (shall call her Al) "supposedly" dissed him. Or, if they didn't diss him, they at least didn't like him in general.

Now, you're probably thinking that this is just a little-kid drama and really shouldn't have any attention payed to it at all. However, Defluffeh, being the idiot guy that he is, decided to blow it way out of proportion, getting angry at Al and refusing to be her friend anymore so long as she had other friends who disliked him.

(Control freak much? This is like the stereotypical beginning to a physical abuse vid that they make you watch in health class!)

So, Al retorted by ignoring Defluffeh and continuing to keep up with all her friends--sans Defluffeh. This sounds like the proper thing to do in that situation, and as far as I know of it, I support it. However, I don't know everything that happened, so I won't make final judgments on anything here.

Then enter LAO, my dear little annoying sister. Since she 'was' best friends with both Defluffeh and Al, she tried to talk reason to Defluffeh and encourage him to apologize to Al, but Defluffeh would have none of it. Instead, he blew up his ever-growing idiocy by shouting AT LAO! Accusing her of siding with AL! And in general just blowing up in her face to the point where LAO was in tears! IN TEARS!!! (@Defluffeh: I swear I would make you cry those same tears if mother would allow me anywhere near you!!!!) So now, due to some rather sage advice from another friend, Ja, LAO is estranged from both her best friend and Defluffeh, and her best friend Al by association and trying to avoid any more blow-outs.

The situation has changed slightly since then. In another effort to speak reason to Defluffeh, Ja was sucked in by his "reasoning" or whatever, and "sided" with him, turning for the most part against Al and LAO. This leaves only LAO and Al as the remaining two members of a once adorable four-person friendship.

You want to know what really bugs me about this?? All my life I have had good friends, from Treehugger and Soccer10, to Natalie and Rebecca and Brittany and Laura and Hakilah (all of whom moved), to Caoimhe and Wolf and Mich-chan and Ta--all of these I could consider my best friends at some time or another, and though some moved or drifted away, I always had new friends to take their place. In short, I have never been left without at least one best friend all my life.

Now, take LAO on the other hand. During her early school life, she moved around all over the place from school to school, never staying long enough in any one place to make any good friends (not that there were any good friends to be made anyway). Also at church, there was a group of girls all LAO's age, but they stuck together and excluded her. They still do in fact. Then LAO went to a school finally for two years in a row, and no one there accepted her either, instead ostracizing her from the rest of the class. And finally, FINALLY, she moved to a public school, and met people who accepted her somewhat, and made friends, and found a group of friends and entered into it. She went trick-or-treating with them, decorated a Christmas tree with them, went and played in the snow with them, and even had a birthday party with them. And I thought that maybe, just maybe, LAO had found her best friends like I had found mine.

But Defluffeh destroyed it, ruined it, obliterated even this one chance at having a decent group of friends! I HATE YOU DEFLUFFEH AND YOU BETTER STAY FAR AWAY FOR A VERY LONG TIME BECAUSE I WANT TO STRANGLE YOUR NECK IN A HUNDRED DIFFERENT PLACES!!!!!!!

...Ahem!

Alright, besides that, earlier I promised all you beloved invisible fans that I would write about my birthday party with my friends, which was, btw, a TOTAL SUCCESS!

It began Saturday morning, when I was in the process of cleaning of my room, and my friend Ta came over for a few hours to help out and spend some time with me since she couldn't be there for the actual party. T-T I'm sorry you missed it Ta! We discussed possibilities for a story that I had basically given up on, as well as pros and cons for making Ben die in the end of Love Is Blind. (Sorry Caoimhe, despite all your objections, there are, in fact, some credible pros to this course of action.) Then, after Ta left at roughly 1:00, I had another four and a half grueling hours of chores and clean up to do while still constantly wondering what on earth was going to happen for my birthday! (Because mother dearest had STILL not revealed anything to anybody! Grr!)

FINALLY it was 5:30, and Caoimhe, Wolf, and Treehugger all came almost right on time and all dressed up in pretty dresses too! We chatted for a little bit, and I gave Caoimhe a much-belated birthday present (by like...four or five months, XD). Then it was PRESENT TIME!! YAY!!!

Wolf gave me a really pretty purse and a very colorful stretchy-scarf, both of which were really nice...but she labeled the box: To Ladybug. >.< Seriously??

Caoimhe gave me three volumes of Yotsuba! YAY YOTSUBA!! *dances a yotsu-dance*

Treehugger gave me a very fluffy green pillow (and when I say green, I mean GREEN!), a fluffy blanket *snugglez* and some shower gel. "Because you can never have enough shower gel!"

Mother gave me BONE book 9, YAY!!! (I have finished reading it, and it actually had a rather pleasing ending, despite several mysteries throughout still left unsolved). She also gave me a computer game, a sketch book (to be used for Eliester art design), Lindt Chocolate (yuuuuuummm), and finally...The Ultimate Gift! *drumroll please!*

...........

That's seriously what it's called. It's a movie called Ultimate Gift. And it's really good too! Ya'll should watch it...I'll even critique it for you!

I say all this because I really want to thank everyone for their wonderful gifts, which are totally cool!

Anyway, after that, we went to a really fancy Brazilian restaurant, which was AWESOME! It had tons and tons of good food (which I won't describe 1)because it will take too long and 2)you don't want to get drool all over your computer just by reading about those mouth-watering dishes do you?) Also, everyone but mother had a Guarana drink, which is basically like this brazilian soft drink, and it's really good! It's also very hard to describe, because there isn't any American drink that comes even close to it. Even still, it was very tasty, and the meal in general had great company, and was EXTREMELY fun! At the end, the watiress gave me a white rose as a celebration of my birthday. It smelled so pretty! And there wasn't even the public humiliation of the entire staff coming out to sing happy birthday!

Nya....it just made me so happy! The whole thing was a total success, and really really fun!

After we came back, we were told to go to bed, but we ended up staying up until about 2 in the morning playing Truth or Dare (after which Treehugger left), then Truth or Lies (where if you were asked a question after saying "Lie", you had to make up an outrageous lie to answer the question) (after which Wolf went to sleep), and then Caoimhe and I played Kingdom Hearts on mute until like 3 in the morning. <.< >.> Shhhh....

So there, pinky promise kept, and a wonderful birthday party properly documented! wOOt!

Of Officially Needing a Life and Last Friday

So, I'm still experiencing previously mentioned technical difficulties, but right now i'm procrastinating from sleep (smart, huh?) and decided to write to all you invisible fans about my total lack of life.

I just hate how those stupid gigantic projects creep up on you. They're like, "oh look, we're all so cute and cuddly, you don't need to worry about us," so the unsuspecting teenager is like "OK", and goes back to playing Runescape/Myspacing (or Facebooking)/Pwning Noobs on Video Games/whatever else teenagers do these days with their new-fangled gadgets.

And then...that cute and cuddly grows up, and becomes...
THISGIANTFRIGGINMONSTERTHATCOMESTODESTROYMYLIFE!!!!

(Yes, the anthology is ALWAYS best described by all capital letters and dramatic words all cramped together so you can't read them. That's exactly what it is.)

So, for the last two weeks, I have had absolutely nothing resembling a life. What little social life I had is gone. Kingdom Hearts is...wait, what? *looks around confusedly* What's Kingdom Hearts??? Internet usage is mostly normal, but that's my main source of last minute procrastination...thus it doesn't exactly count as a life. Book-reading is gone, has been gone for like a month. T-T I want my books back! This is killing me! And although this doesn't have much to do with the anthology, all manga and anime viewing is at an all time-low since like before seventh grade. INEEDZMYMANGAZ!!!!! *looks pointedly at Caoimhe*

Anywayz, so when this thing is done and over with, I will officially do a happy dance, and it will be epic, and probably right in the middle of the library. XD

Besides that, I is going to talk about last Friday and a wee bit about my birthday, but my birthday isn't done yet, so I can't say everything about that yet.

Last Friday was Silent Day, in opposition to the discrimination that faces homosexuals every day. Now, in case you didn't know, earlier this year there was one young kid who was shot for acting "gay", named Lawrence King. So, because of him, and because I'm against all discrimination in general, I participated in this Silent Day. Now, don't get me wrong, I DO NOT support gay marriage. I believe that there are significant differences in the phsycology of a man and a woman, and that these differences put together are what make a healthy marriage and family relationship. To put two of the same sex in a marriage destroys that relationship. Also, one shouldn't look for love and acceptance via sex. It just doesn't work that way. I believe that the purest expression of love is through true friends that stick with each other no matter what.

That said, I still don't believe that it's right in any way, shape, or form to discriminate/hate upon/abuse people because they're gay. Thus, I am a proud participator in Silent Day.

I also found out that there is a Silent Day for Pro-life, this October 20th I believe. I am definitely participating in it, and I hope all you invisible adoring fans of mine will participate also.

-->http://www.silentday.org/instructions.php<-- Another sad happenstance of Friday was that I learned that Odiebear will be leaving us at the end of this year. Due to family problems, and another job offered her closer to her family, she won't be teaching again next year. T-T. I'll miss you Odiebear!!!!! *hugglez*

So, onto happier subjects, my birthday has been partially celebrated for two days already, once with my dad, and the other with my mom and sister. The next time will be with all my friends on May 1-2. That's going to be the big celebration, so I'll tell ya'll about it afterwards--pinky promise! The first day I went out with my dad to Olive Garden, had an officially stuffing meal of yumminess, and recieved a card "-- is the year when your voice FINALLY changes, from 'I want a pony' to 'I want a MUSTANG!' " XD I lol'ed at that. He also gave me his copy of the 12-disc, extended version special edition Lord of the Rings!!!! Isn't that totally awesome coolness! *squees and dances happily*

...Then I had to return to continue working on the anthology. *shakes fist at the thing* Darn you becursed anthology! The second day I went with my mom and sister to a Japanese restaurant where they cook the meals in front of you, and it's REALLY cool! I didn't get any gifts, mainly because they're coming next weekend and also because I STILL had to go back and work on the $%#*&! anthology.
