Wow, it's been a while, hasn't it? Lol. Yeah, sorry. I just haven't really had anything to say over the last month. I figured now is a good time to catch up. :-) Well, my aunt Laura, uncle Mike, and my cousin Dustin just left to go home (Merced, next to Fresno) and it really sucks. I miss them. Actually, I miss Dustin. He's the most awesome cousin I have. He's 15 and him and I get along really great. We have pretty much the same personality except for the fact that he likes to listen to Lil John and I like to listen to NOFX. See the difference? Lol. Anyways. I hardly ever get to see him so this was cool. But now I'm really lonely and depressed 'cuz I'm missing him. Oh well. We all went up to the Eskimo Hill area next to Lassen yesterday to get Christmas Trees. It was so awesome! I loved it. We're gonna do that every year now. I took TONS of pictures too. I might post some on the site if I ever get around to it. We'll see. Maybe one or two. Well yeah, that's pretty much it. This week is finals. Yay! Lol. JK. I can barely wait for Christmas Vacation. Vacations are nice, aren't they. I just need time to relax. I can't stand routine schedules like school. It gets boring after a while. Right now, Sarah, Courntey, my mom, and I are decorating our new Christmas tree! It's so much fun. I love it. Yep. Lol. I love the holidays. I don't exactly have money to but people things but presents aren't really what matter. I just love the feeling of Christmas and everyone in your family being here and you just feel so close to everyone. I love it. Well I love you guys and I'll see you all later.

Holy shit. My life is a horrible mistake. I can't believe how stupid and inconsiderate I am. I think I just screwed up my relationship with my boyfriend. GOD. I hate my life. Why did I have to do this? Why? Why couldn't I just keep my mouth shut. Zack, Will, and I walked to Safeway today to get a few things and I asked Will to get me food. So he went into the store while Zack and I stood outside. I knew something was wrong with him. I asked him if this dream that he had of Will and I was bugging him. It was. I was so worried about him. Dreams suck, don't they? They're not true at all and all they do is make people worry. Well anyways, so Will comes out and he shows me the chips he got me and then he pulls out a box of Nutty Bars. I love Nutty Bars. And any of you guys know that whenever someone does something for me that's really nice or gets something for me, I yell out, "I love you! Only not really." It's like a habit. Well Zack took it seriously when I yelled that out to Will. He was mad at me so fucking much. He wouldn't talk to me and he wouldn't let me touch him. He kept walking off away from me and once said, "Stay off of me," when I tried to hold his hand. I guess that while we were in the store before this happened I accidently ignored him a lot. I didn't really mean to. I was actually really nervous 'cuz stupid Will was gonna steal flamible stuff to light things with. I was like shaking and my attention span wasn't too great. So anyways, it took a lot of convincing to let Zack know that I love him so much and that I wouldn't be able to live without him. God, I'm crying right now. I can't stand thinking that I'm gonna lose him. If I do I'll seriously kill myself. I can't go on without him. And I had to open my fucking mouth and say that crap. So I'm gonna call Zack tonight and the only thing I plan on telling him is how much I love him and need him. Well yeah, my mom picked me up from his house and we drove over to Taco Bell. There were two cop cars sitting in the 76 parking lot. I looked at 'em and didn't pay attention. Then one of them turns on their flashing lights. Oh shit. It leaves the parking lot and turns right at Safeway. Oh shit! Then it turns left into the Safeway parking lot. OH SHIT! Then the other one leaves and goes into the same parking lot and my mom has to make it worse. "Must be shoplifters. Stupid lifeless people." Yeah thanks, mom. Calling me lifeless?? I see how it is. So I try to act as normal as possible and keep staring at the cop cars. I don't think she suspected anything, at least I hope not. Well Zack, if you're reading this, I love you too much for words. I mean it when I say that. Not everybody has the privelege of my love. Complete love. I love you and LeAnna more than my own family. That's it. Everyone else, I couldn't care less about them. Especially Will. Okay? I love you. I'll call you as soon as I can. Talk to you guys later!

It was my birthday on Sunday! Yes, I'm a young one. I turned 14. I have to say that I was actually really happy about how it turned out. Zack came over to my house, which was totally awesome but it sucked at the same time. I couldn't do anything. I had to literally remind myself the entire time that my family won't allow me to be anything more than friends with him and if they found out that I am, they'd freak and my mom would ground me for probably the rest of my life. But yeah, anyways...My sisters were here and so was Ron, my two neices, and...Phil. Crazy Bastard. He really freaked me out last night. I won't say why, but I finally found the bad side that I knew he had. My mom doesn't care though. They're still together. God, I hate him! I want him out of my life so much. He bribes my dog with dog treats and is always glaring at me whenever I pay attention to my animals at all and calls Rosie or Simba over to him or takes Spike from me whenever I do. They're my animals! And he's always telling me to leave him alone, and whenever I ask my mom for something or joke around with my mom like I always do he'll say, "Be responsible. Get it yourself," or, "RUDE. Why are you such a rude person?" Excuse me? Why are YOU such a rude bastard, you asshole? Wow. Sorry. I'll stop complaining. Well anyways..I got my Good Charlotte CD!!! I'm so happy!! I love these songs just as much as all their other ones. I can't believe there's a band like them. They are the perfect band for me. I also got the Evanescence CD from Zack. :-) It's awesome as expected. Oh! And I finally got my new digital camera! I took some pictures at school and they're all in My Pictures. Enjoy! Well I love you guys. I have more to say, but no time to say it. Talk to you later!

I feel like an addition to this family. Just an addition. Not a part of it at all. Just a fucking loner that no one wants around. That nobody wants at all. My friends keep me alive. Without them I wouldn't be able to survive at all because of this fucking family not caring about me. Today, I asked my mom if we could go out to dinner together and she said, "Sure! It'll be fun having a night together, just the two of us." Okay, great! I was excited. I mean, lately I haven't gotten to spend a night out with my mom. Actually, in about two years. The time that Phil and her have been together. So this was really great for me. I was looking forward to it so much. A night out with just my mom. No fucking hick boyfriend that looks like he lives in Texas, chews tobacco, and rides bulls for a living. But he doesn't. He lives in Redding, California, drinks wine, and makes my life miserable for a living. So a little while later my mom comes in my room and asks me to get ready. I ask her when we're leaving and she says, "When Phil gets here." What? So I ask her, "What do you mean? Phil's coming?" She looks at me, nods her head, and says, "Of course." Shit. "What a fun night this is gonna be," I say and she starts snapping at me for joking around too much. Who's joking, Mom? God. She asks me what's wrong and I say, "I just thought it was gonna be the two of us. Although, I don't know why, 'cuz nothing ever is anymore." So she says, "Oh stop. The only reason we never spend time anymore is because you're always with Zack." I force myself to say, "Well, at least he has time for me." Instead of, "See, it sucks to be ditched for a boyfriend, doesn't it?" So yeah. That about ruined our night. While we were at dinner, Phil kept inturrupting everything I was saying. No exaggeration. I swear. EVERYTHNG. I almost killed him. We got home, I ran in my room, called my boyfriend, was turned down and had to get off the phone with him like 5 minutes later, and then I lied down and cried until I fell asleep. Then I had a nightmare that Zack was telling me over the phone, "You're always yelling at me for not talking to you and ignoring you. I'm getting sick and tired of it and I don't think we should be together anymore." Yeah. I woke up with tears streaming down my face. I almost called him but it was like 12 30 in the morning. So then I remembered that I had a CD to burn for him and I got out of bed and finished it really quick. But yeah, not to complain or anything.......but it really sucked and I didn't even have anyone to talk to about it. I wish LeAnna weren't grounded. There's days where I don't feel like sharing my secrets and feelings with one person and I start really wanting to talk to LeAnna about them. But I guess that's hopeless. I'll just have to wait until next year to talk to her on the phone and see her over the weekend. That sucks. Well I'll see you guys later.

Ugh. I'm having a horrible time. Things aren't going very great at all. First of all, my best friend Leanna is having a hard time with her life. I feel like I'm the only one here to help her and I'm doing my absolute best. It's not going as well as I've planned though. Sometimes she's great. Sometimes she's horrible. I might not ever be able to succeed in bringing one of the two people I care for most in my life back to being happy. Which brings me to the second thing going on. The other person that means most to me. My boyfriend, Zack. He's acting really weird lately. The only time I ever fully enjoy talking to him is when I'm with him. Any other times, it's like he doesn't really want to talk to me. He's always occupied with something else. I don't know, maybe it's me. I always want to talk to him, always. I think he might be annoyed by that. And I guess I just might love him too much. Is that possible? Can you really love someone too much? I don't think so, but I know that you can love someone more than they love you. I'm worried that might be what's going on. I've seriously fallen head over heels in love with this guy and I can't help but think that he doesn't feel the same. A couple times, the fact that he might be using me has popped into my head. But that's not possible. He would never do that, I know it. Maybe I'm just over reacting. But I don't think so. Over the past year, I've come to realize that my heart beats for his love, for him. It's not beating as well these days. It's just not healthy. I need him in my life so much and I cannot lose him. If it means not talking to him as much, I think I might be able to take that. It would be hard but I might just be able to do it. I've been trying to tell him how unhappy I am right now, but I think he just hasn't gotten it yet. And if he has, he's not doing anything about it and that's horrible. I can not have a fair weathered boyfriend. But the thing is, I don't. I have the most perfect boyfriend in the world. Someone who's always there for me. Someone who cares about me so much. Someone who focuses all of his attention on me when I need it. Well I need it, baby. Bad. Please understand me here. I love you. Anyways, the third thing that's going on is I have all these people telling me: Don't go Gothic. You're so much better the way you are. I would hate it if you went Gothic. I love you for who you are. You wouldn't look good as a Gothic. Being Gothic sucks. Don't go Gothic. Well that's funny. That's the one thing I want to do. Hide my emotions. Cut off the world. Show people that I don't know that I don't fucking care about their problems and I don't want to know them. I don't fucking care why you're crying. I have my own fucking problems to deal with. But I can't. 'Cuz I have all these people I care about telling me not to do just that. Well I'm sorry guys. But I can't help it if I do some obscene thing I'm gonna regret, I can't help it when I get the urge to paint my fingernails black or wear black clothes, I can't help it when I get the urge to pile on my balck eyeliner and dark lipstick, I can't help it when I feel like listening to Marilyn Manson really really loudly. It's my therapy. All those things help me. And I can't do them because my friends and family don't want me to. They don't want me to help myself. Okay. I get it guys. You like who I am inside and you don't want me to change. Well I'm gonna. And hopefully you'll appreciate the new me. It's still me, right? Right. Well I have to go. Thanks for being here for me through good times and bad. All of you. I love you for it. I'll never forget any of you, ever. Night.

Wow. Okay. I've got some more really bad news. My dog was found. Dead. He was run over by a car and we burried him in my backyard. I don't want to say too much about it, it's too sad to think about. Well anyways, sorry for not updating in a while. My computer's been really dumb. I need to get a new internet service. My dad's gonna get me either PeoplePC or EarthLink. Don't know which one. I can't wait. AOL's been really mean to me lately and I can't stand it anymore. Oh. Does anyone have any ideas about a Halloween costume for me? I've gone brain dead and people keep taking all my ideas. Lol. If you have any ideas, just leave me a comment. Thanks! Well anyways, other than that...I've been feeling really sad and depressed lately and I don't know why. Maybe cause of what I'm going through with Zack. I won't tell you exactly what that is since it would just make it worse but I'm really worried that he might be mad at me or something worse. I don't know. Well I'll keep the site updated as much as possible. I love you guys! I'll talk to you later.

Bad news. My dog Max is missing. He ran away yesterday and hasn't come back since. It's really worrying me. I love that dog. The house is so empty without him. I can't help but think that maybe he got run over by a car or is stuck somewhere in a ditch or something. Have you ever seen Homeward Bound? Yeah, sorta like that. I really want him to come home. I'm writing a poem for a school poetry contest to keep my mind off of it. I finished the one I started but I don't know if I like it all that much. Oh well. I'll just write a couple more and see which one I like best or put a poll up on the website to see what you guys think. Other than that, I'm really worried about LeAnna. She might not be back to school for a whole month. I don't know if she's told everyone about what happened on Friday or what the consequences are so I'll leave that for another time but I'm REALLY worried. She's become one of my best friends and I can't stand the fact that I don't even know if I'm gonna see her for a while. Anyways...I have to go. I have a dog to look for. :-( Talk to you guys later.

I hate Mr. Ortiz! Yeah, okay, he gave me an A+ in his class and he's like the greatest teacher in the world but he pissed me off today. He got LeAnna in trouble for littering because she THREW A PIECE OF PAPER AWAY IN THE TRASH CAN. He gave her 25 sentences. I couldn't believe it. I mean, is that reasonable? Is it just me or is that STUPID?! Lol. What a crazy bitch. Well anyways...I had an OK day today. Well, in the beginning it sucked. I had to take the PSATs and it was Old School/Retro Day. Come on, what good can come out of that? Lol. So yeah, my school day sucked and then I walked over to Zack's house. I swear, that guy can make the worst day turn into a fairy tale for me. :-) I love you Zack! So I got home tonight and I had a really bad headache. I go get the bottle of Advil and open it, get the jug of water from the fridge, go to pour the water into my cup, except there was no cup! Lol. I almost poured the water into the Advil container. I can't believe I didn't. I caught what I was doing just in time. I guess I just got lucky. But yeah. I still have to do SO much homework, it's horrible. It was worth it. I got to spend time with the person that means the most to me in my life. 5 hours is NOT long enough. It passed by like 5 minutes. :-( Well anyways...I have to get going on my homework. Love you guys!

Today sucked! I got so annoyed with everyone. It was Country Day and there were so many people dressed up like hicks. I swear, that pisses me off. I wanted to seriously grap a cowboy hat, throw it on ground and smash it with my feet. I get enough of this cowboy crap at home with Phil. Somehow he found out that today was Country Day and when I woke up this morning, there was a pair of cowboy boots and a cowboy hat at the foot of my bed. NO WAY! Lol. I got up, walked into the living room, set the boots on the floor, threw the hat into Phil's lap, and walked back into my room. Oh! And then I realized I still had pink and black hair from Punk/Rock Day yesterday. So, I had to hurry up and take a shower. That sucked. I hate being rushed. Well yeah, my day was OK until I got to Personal Growth-3rd Period. I DESPISE that class so much. I can't stand it. We watched a video on AIDS all period long and I literally almost feel asleep. But anyways! Study Hall. We have to pay like $20 every 3 months to be in Key Club. Key Club is a community service thing that almost killed me on Saturday. No joke. We had a compus clean up thing and I had to trim bushes, plant trees, and scrub bleachers! I swear to God, my muscles almost died. But that's off-topic. OK. Study Hall comes and I run to the library 'cuz I have a Key Club meeting to go to. I get int there and the fucking teacher tells me I can't attend the meeting. Supposedly, I haven't paid my $20 yet. Well that's just great. So I run back to Mrs. Keelan's room and I'm stopped by like 4 people asking me why I'm not going to Key Club or that I'm going the wrong way. NO..I'm going the right way as a matter of fact. I think I've been at this school long enough (possibly too long) to know where my Study Hall class is. But yeah, sorry. That just pisses me off. Of course, the stupid leadership link crew people ahd to play Country music at lunch. That drove me crazy. P.E. was boring, as usual. Sarah, Leanna, and I decided we'd go into weight training to be Valley Girls. LOL! Long story. I had to choose between dance and weight training because I'm NOT doing P.E. next year. I can not stand it. Math was awesome as usual. Mr. Osborn's the coolest teacher. He's goofy, just like me :-). Spanish was fun. I got to make fun of Mr. Ortiz as always. Oh! I scored 2 extra credit points for Leanna and I on out next teat. I told him that we were the only one's doing what we were supposed to and he actually believed me. I love being a teacher's pet :-) I still can't believe that crazy bitch really believed me. Lol. He bought me my dinner at Casa Ramos last night, too, and tried to order me a Tequilla by telling the waitress that I was veinte y cinco (25) but she didn't believe him. I wonder why...That old man is halla crazy. Not one other like him. Lol. Well wnough of that. So yeah. School ended, I was happy, and then I realized that I still had a 45 minute bus ride to my house. It was boring as always. So then I got home, waited for Zack to call me for like 3 minutes, called him and everything was alright. It's amazing how talking to one person can cheer uou up after having a really crappy day. I love you Zack. Well anyways. Sorry this was so long. Talk to you guys later.

Well...this is my first journal entry obviously. I should start by letting you know why I made this site, what it's about and why I named it what I did. I made this site to basically keep you guys up-to-date about what's going on with me and the things that are going on in my life. Also, I have a Poems & Stories section where I'm going to be keeping all the poems and stories that I've written, also a Quotes & Sayings section where I'll be putting different quotes and sayings that I really like. So, basically, this site is all about me. Now, you've probably realized that I've named the site When Darkness Comes. That name sounded the best to me because right now, my life has been changing a lot. The things that I wear and my interests and other things like that. It's not anything bad either, it's just a change. Life needs changes to avoid being boring. Well anyways, if you haven't already read my autobiography page, I hope you do that soon. I didn't feel like wirting a huge paragraph on my life so I just found some sort of quiz thing. It worked out okay I guess. Well...I'll be posting more entries later about what's going on and stuff. I'm in the middle of making the site right now so it might be a while. I love you guys!
