Soy un perdedor

I got a survey opportunity today in my email that would have been an online focus group. I'd be chatting online with 7 other teenagers my age about my opinions on sexual experiences, methods of contraception, and the like. It would be for about an hour and a half, and I would receive 600 points. First of course, I had to qualify to be in the study. So I fill out 17 of the 18 qualifying questions. The last one was my main method of contraception. I picked of course the implant, because that's what I have. WRONG ANSWER.

I lose.
I should have just put condoms :P

She broke your throne and cut your hair

Yeah, it escalated to shouting at my dad today. Why? Because the drunk fuck couldn't shut her mouth and kept complaining about how I was mad at him for cleaning the tank and how I'm ungrateful and mean to her and blah blah blah. You know how it ended? My dad: "Whatever Andrea. Your turtle's going to die." Followed by "And when I'm gone, we'll see how well you guys do on your own."

1. Real mature dad. "Whatever." Really?
2. Glad to see you have so much confidence in me.


He's just as bad as my mom, except that my mom realizes when she's wrong. Dick.

I take care of myself. I take care of my pets. I only ever ask him for food (or money for food) and transportation, because those are the two things I can't get by myself, and as MY FATHER, providing those things are in his job description.

Like I said, I'm not ungrateful. I say please and thank you for EVERYTHING that he does for me, especially if he has to go out of his way for it. I sure as hell never use manners around my mom, and she actually cares if I use manners.



Why does it have to be so different now. I don't understand how everything has changed when it's all basically the same.

All I ever learned from love was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya

I got the strange feeling to listen to that song just now.
Through which, I discovered that it's Jeff Buckley's birthday today.
A very strange coincidence indeed.






I can tell right now that I'm not going to be able to finish my essay tonight.
It's my fault though.
Funny thing, I still don't care.



Thank you.

And you said your opinion didn't matter

It was a tough decision. I love Ivan and Cecelia a whole lot, but everyone seemed to agree that Minx and Othello were perfect. They were just best suited for me and what I wanted. So, when we get our cage set up again, we'll be taking them home. Hopefully tomorrow, but there's no guarantees. More likely, it will be sometime next week.
And I can't feel too bad about not picking Ivan and Cece. They already have a great home in foster care even if they never get adopted.























In other fantastic news, I once again have over 1000 points! Which means that I'm getting a check for $51. 25.

This has been a fantastic Friday.
You are perfect and I love you in every way imaginable, and even in some ways you can't imagine. And maybe some ways I can't imagine either.

Art in the Community was actually pretty fun. I saw my fourth grade teacher and I remembered her daughter's name! And she (my teacher) remembered who I was. And I learned some things, not necessarily about art. Some of them good, some of them bad.

I also got my coat in the mail today! It's fantastic and I look snazzy, and it's really warm and I love it!

Another thing, my turtle is stupid. A whole lot. And I need a bigger tank, and some sort of tight fitting plastic cave thing for him to hide in. Because whatever I fix up for him every week or so, isn't doing it. Also, I need more gravel, and a filter. And more electrical outlets.

Finally, we'll be going to see some bunnies on Friday. Maybe probably adopting some!
Here are my options (now that it's a shorter list):
Danny
















Hollis and Erin
















Ziggy
















Minx and Othello













Ivan and Cecelia
















Howie and Cody
















Sarah



















Mr. Darcy














Lightning and Peka
















Vladimir (paired with Jalena)
Jalena (paired with Vladimir)


















Hugo














Saybra

















Ruthie










Pugsley and Tulula Belle
















Zebra





















Feel free to tell me which ones you like. The top 7 are the ones I am most interested in.

I heard you say, if you left I'd be okay

I made a list of the bunnies up for adoption that I want. There were 28. I eliminated 4 completely, and simplified them down to ones I know for sure that I want, ones to seriously consider adopting, and ones that I'd have to see in person before I make a final decision. I have 4 for-sures, 9 considering, and 11 see-firsts.

Carl and Katie said they'd help me narrow it down some more, and Carl's going to be there with me when I go to the shelter.

My dad says that he wants to catch up on bills before we get another bunny/ies, and I don't know how long that will take. I want to get it/them before Christmas, and if I could, this weekend. The hard part will be waiting.
The thought of getting a new bunny, and the time put into picking some out is the only thing keeping my mind off of what happened. I need this.

Bodle died today at the vet. It was 10:00.



Carl came over and he helped me bury him underneath my tree.
He was supposed to get his cast off today, so that he could run around for the first time in a month and a half.
