(C& from the IMs I sent a friend)

The people next door have a JRT that always attacks Kira. I was in the backyard with my cat Tafi (very old, she loves being outdoors though so I take her even though she's deaf/hyperthyroid/bad hind legs. I had charlie out there too because I knew that he would probably scare off any hawks or crows that decided she looked tasty.

The JRT gets under the fence, chases Tafi (who can barely run) and starts biting her. Charlie gets in his path when he does, which allows me some time to get there and Tafi to get away. But our yard is fenced in (which I hoped would protect her from strays!) and she can't jump it to get away. So she's cornered, Charlie's not aggressive so he won't attack the JRT, and I finally get there, kick the JRT while he's attacking Tafi, and the JRT goes and runs on the disgustingly dirty hill we have in the way back. He's gotten under the fence before and always attacks anyone who tries to throw him back over. And every time I went to hold up the fence so he could get back through HE growled at me, and their labxhound on the other side tried to bite me.

So I put Tafi in the shed, and removed the blocks and went to get the slip-on lead (the blocks we put on his holes he digs under the fence) and when I come back he's back in his yard, Charlie's looking very happy that he's gone, and Tafi won't stop shaking. D< Kira has scars COVERING her face from the thing. You can't go an inch on her muzzle without finding one. And my parents have refused time AFTER time about not letting me speak a word of this to the neighbor. UGH. Fucking bastards. The neighbors, my parents, and that retarded terrier.

"What is the Day of Silence®?
The Day of Silence (www.dayofsilence.org), a project of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), is a student-led day of action when concerned students, from middle school to college, take some form of a vow of silence to bring attention to the name-calling, bullying and harassment -- in effect, the silencing -- experienced by LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) students and their allies. This year’s Day of Silence will be held in memory of Lawrence King. "

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow are dates for the tennis tryouts. The coach only wants to accept 7 people.

There's about 5 boys trying out, and double that many girls. Out of all the girls, only me and two other girls aren't horrible.

I thought I actually had a chance. The other girls walked when they were supposed to run, flirted when they were supposed to play. They always either hit right into the net or the ball ended up hundreds of feet away.

I thought I had a chance.

I asked the coach, depending on what he'd seen, if I would be considered when making the team based on the two days. He said probably not.

Not only is it freezing all week, but tomorrow's my birthday and I don't want to spend it with a bunch of snobs who speak Portuguese making fun of you, thinking you can't understand. I hate being the only one singled out, without a partner, running alone, and playing off to the sides.

I'm not saying I'm good at tennis, but considering I've never played before, I thought I did well. We did mini tennis matches, I won 3/4.

I won't be going to the last tryout tomorrow. So much for spending $40 of non-existent money on a raquet I'll never use.

edit: I am TIRED of everyone treating me like BULLSHIT.
Just because I act different doesn't mean you have to alienate me.
Ok, I would NEVER do any such thing personally to anyone.

I think I have some time of disorder (seriously). People will tell me to do something and it just won't click. Memory deficiency, some type of autism? It's been happening since I was little. Oh well.

Thank you Dali for the subbie! ♥

After I finish my current commissions that I've already started, I'll be closing them down indefinitely. I'm beginning to get really flustered with my art, which is because I've been basing how "well I can draw" off pageviews, comments, and favorites, so I might be removing my art from here as well, although I'll still be here until Dali's generous subbie ends and for friends.

I'm stopping commissions because art is stopping being art and becoming a job.. art is supposed to be fun, not where I have to meet personal deadlines.

Thank you Dali for the subbie! ♥

I'll be making avatars for some close friends of mine. They'll be 100x100 pixels, and when I give you yours you can do whatever the hell you want with it. x_x Also, these are of your pet, not your charrie.



I'd make one for Kit but I haven't seen her in forever.

I have a picture from , , , and but I need pictures from the rest of you, headshots please.
