'Bout Time!

Hello, hello.
Let me start off by saying today is awesome because I got a letter from my boyfriend in boot camp and he FINALLY got 2 of the letters I sent on the 2nd of this month. So, HARRAY! I was starting to worry that I had messed up the address or something.
Also, today I feel slightly aggravated, because my mom keeps complaining that she's bored, and I ask her what she want's to do and she's all "Well, I don't know!" *sigh* Oh well. I hoped to go to my friends house to spend the night but apparently I'm not allowed to spend the night with anyone anymore for some reason, I think because I'm too skinny? Or something like that.
Yeah for those of you who don't know, which I think is all of you, I have Cystic Fibrosis and it's pretty difficult for me to gain and maintain my weight. And apparently at my doctor's appointment on Wednesday I had lost 3 pounds since my last visit and my mom banned me from doing anything fun and basically gave me a month to gain 8 pounds. So, yeah. It sucks. A lot.
*eats bowl of Tostitos and salsa that's way too sweet for her liking*

Anyway, school has been alright so far. My teachers are really cool, they all like my fedora, and only two classes ever really give homework, and it's always really easy stuff. Like, done with both assignments in 20 minutes stuff. I have to glue stuff to a plate for English. I actually really like school, since things have been so crazy in my life lately with Darius being gone. School for me is the only thing I have to keep myself preoccupied and busy. Monday and Tuesday we're having auditions for Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. I'm really excited for it, I've read the book and we're reading the play in class, and so far it's really cool. For those of you who don't know the plot:
It takes place in the future, and babies aren't born, they're decanted. Made in factories, in test tubes. They go by a caste system, And people are conditioned from the embryonic stage to like what they are destined to like, depending on the caste they are going to end up as. The caste system goes Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon. The Alphas and Betas are at the top of the chain, and are basically the blonde-hair blue-eyed leaders, and are decanted from one single egg. Gammas, Deltas and Epsilons are all "bokanovskified", or divided into several embryos from one egg, and the general rule goes the more it's divided, the stupider, the darker hair, the shorter they are. Epsilons are the lowest, and do the most menial tasks. Everyone takes soma, which is basically happy pills, and "everyone belongs to everyone else," promiscuity is the norm.
Then, there are "Savage Reservations," where it's basically like and Indian reservation, uncivilized, etc. They get married and have babies normally and what not. Two characters from the civilized world go on holiday to the reservation, and meet a boy named John who looks like them, blonde and blue-eyed, not dark skinned and stuff like the "savages." Turns out that he's the son of a Beta who got stranded there 25 years previous. They go back to the civilized world together and they basically all study the savage, because he's so strange. It's kind of complicated, but I do HIGHLY reccommend the book if you want to read it.
I'm hoping to get cast as a Alpha or Beta. If I do, though, I'll have to buy a blonde wig for the part. I don't mind, though. I do enjoy cosplaying, and if ever I want to cosplay as a blonde character, I'm set. Haha.

Buuuuuut, yeah. That's all I really have going on with me so far. I'm working on getting my license, and once I achieve that I'm going to apply everywhere withing a 15-minute driving distance for a job. Yeah.

And now, challenges.

I was a TOTAL Disney addict as a kid. I have just about every classic somewhere about the house. Winnie the Pooh, The Little Mermaid, Bambi, Sleeping Beauty, you name it. And being a Floridian, you can bet I've been to Disney World my fair share of times. As well as Epcot and those other ones.
Getting to the chase, my top 3 Disney movies (because I'm the kind of girl who can't have one favorite) are Beauty and the Beast, Bambi, and Snow White. Yeah.
But no, Hannah Montana and all that other new stuff is not really on my list of things I enjoy.

Favorite child memory? (LOL, I'm listening to Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns 'N' Roses and I typed "childhood memory" just as he sung it. Found that funny.)
Hmmm.... This is a tough one. I'm going to have to say this one time, I was about 6, and we were driving home from Pittsburg after the Christmas holiday. Traffic was AWFUL, and we were stopped completely for like 3 hours. So we got out of the car and made snow angels and snow men until we started moving again. As we drove down the road, we saw that several hundred other people had the same idea and there were like rows of snow men all along the shoulder of the road. And I had gotten Furbies for Chritmas, and we had them in the car with us. Each time we hit a bump in the road, both Furbies would go "WOOOOAAAAHHH!!!" It was hilarious.

Well, that's all for now. Later gators!!
