I'm thinking of going and eating one.
But I'm also trying to fight the urge because I eat too much sugar as it is.
I'm a little frustrated.
I'm positive that I've damaged my iPod somehow...I haven't even had it for a week and something is wrong with it.
I'm beginning to wonder if the iHome did something to it....that's when the problem first started.
All I remember is...yesterday?...I had the iPod plugged in to the iHome, and I was playing a song.
Then I decided I wanted to switch the song, but I wasn't sure which one I wanted...but then I decided I would just put it on a random song and turn it off so I could then plug it into the computer and put more songs on it.
But after I paused it, it froze... It wouldn't let me do ANYTHING!
I started freaking out...just like I did about an hour ago when it happened again.
I just want it to work properly...I want to have it for a long time before it starts crapping out on me...otherwise Daddy would think I'm not responsible enough to handle expensive things, even though this is the first time something like this has ever happened to me.
*sigh*
But as long as it continues to go back to a seemingly normal state, I will be okay for now.
If the problem persists...well I'm just not sure what I'll do then...
Also...It snowed again...Is it still snowing? Must check...
...No, it's not.
I like the snow....kinda...I mean, I hate the cold...but snow is nice.
I just didn't want any more after it snowed about 7 inches the first time...this was a couple weeks ago, though.
Umm...what else...
Well Dad might get home by 7 pm tonight...since he went in at 11...but he said he couldn't really guarantee that he'd get off early...I think it would be a little mean if they didn't just let him put in his 8 hours of work and go home.
We'll see what happens...
Man...I really don't know what to write about today...
I suppose that will happen sometimes.

Today Is Special
Today is my best friend Jasmine's 18th birthday...unfortunately, she's all the way back in Virginia and I'm here in Fallon, Nevada...I texted her and I'm going to call her after my dad goes to work...but I wish I could be there with her...
It was funny. I was joking with her and said she could be a bad influence all around and buy cigarettes for little children if she wanted. She said "Hmm, true. But I'm still tired and frail."
Then I asked her if her boobs were sagging. She hasn't gotten back to me yet, but when she does, I know it'll be hilarious.
I got her a sketchbook, some good drawing pencils, and a super-fine Sharpie to outline her pictures. I also put some wallet-sized versions of my senior portraits in a tiny photo album for her, and then I'm going to fill this cookie container with candy and ship it off.
"Why a cookie container?" one might ask...It has a cute little penguin on it...the penguin is her favorite animal.
I was going to put some chocolate covered peanuts in it...but I forgot I was going to do that and ate them all...Ha ha ha! Silly me. I didn't tell her this, though. But I might. It would be good for a laugh.
I'm going to ask Jazz to draw a lot and try to fill up the sketchbook and then mail it back to me if I'm not back in VA with her by the time she's done.
She got me a gift, too, but we both decided to keep it a surprise.
I'm a little worried because I would imagine Jazz already has tons of sketchbooks that could use a little more filling up, but while I was at the store, that was the best idea I came up with.
I'm sure she'll be touched anyway.
Ha ha ha...I was thinking just now about how I should probably be studying for my upcoming finals. Christmas Break is coming to an end and as soon as I get back to school we'll have finals...not the very first day, of course, but close by.
I otherwise wouldn't need to study for anything if it weren't for the fact that my Theater 1 teacher wants us to know ALL the vocabulary words since the beginning of the semester...I think it's a little ridiculous because we had a vocab test every Friday and each vocab list consisted of 10 words....how many words is that I would have to memorize the definition of?!
I'm hoping that on the test it will be like matching instead of verbally like he normally does it.
It would raise my chances of passing that way.
All the other finals I'm not really worried about. I only have 2 classes a day, so that's only 4 finals, as opposed to 4 classes a day, in which I would have 8.
We have A days and B days, and we have different classes on both days.
I don't want to go back to school because of the tests...I don't want to go back to school because it's in the second half of the school year and Graduation would seem evermore fast approaching.
I know that ordinarily seniors are excited for graduation...but I'm not because I don't have my plans set in stone.
I'm looking at two schools....a culinary school...ECPI, I think it's called. And Johnson and Wales....
I would have to go to community college before getting accepted into ECPI...something about prerequisite courses.
And Johnson and Wales has just what I'm looking for. Application is free. They have rolling admission. They have a Baking and Pastry Arts course in Charlotte, North Carolina, and that's very close to Virginia...I'm just not sure about it because it's a private school and very prestigious, and while living with my mother I didn't do too well in school my first two years of high school.
I didn't fail, I just didn't pass with excellent grades...
And plus, I can't find a job to save my life...I can't drive...
I don't know if I would have to take more classes than just the ones I want.
That's why I've always been against going to college.
Because you have to pay up to 40k a year for classes you neither want nor need...I don't see the appeal.
That's why I think an ordinary culinary school is what's best for me.
I'm just a little worried, that's all.
^___^ ...I was just thinking about how my boyfriend is currently my only reader.
I hope to have more some day. I mean...I'm already worried that anyone who just happened to stop and read this would be bored and/or sick of it already...
Plus these are all things my boyfriend already knows about, so I think it's a little monotonous for him.
He's always told me that he likes listening to me talk, though...so I guess this would be like a small break from work to read what his girlfriend has to say, whether he knew it or not.
He's so sugar-sweet.
He buys me pretty much everything I want...mostly all I want is food, candy, occasionally makeup....but he bought me even more valuable things...
Last night he told me that to repay him all I had to do was love him, marry him, and have his child...I wanted to stop and cry tears of joy right then but we were at Safeway and that's just not a very romantic place to have special moments like that, you know?
But of course I had been planning to do all he asked of me anyway...so of course that leaves me still wanting to do more for him...
Once I get a respectable job, I'm going to buy him stuff...I'm going to pay for some of our dates, like going to the movies, or out to dinner, or even to a carnival.
He and I have only been together for 7 months, so we have yet to go to a carnival together.
Hmm...what else could we do for a date? Comment and give me some ideas.
Anyway, my dad is leaving for work, and that's kinda my cue to get dressed and then call Jazz.
Ha ha ha! I can't wait...even though it's just a few more minutes.

Since I Have Free Time...
Figured I would go into more detail about myself...
It's nearly impossible to describe all my interests and stuff in the boxes they gave me for my profile, so I'll talk about it here:
Music is a huge part of my life...I just got a new iPod Classic for Christmas.
Some of my favorite bands include:
System of a Down
Dethklok
Linkin Park
Gorillaz
Foo Fighters
Flyleaf
The Used
Blur
Red Hot Chili Peppers
.....etc.
And like I said in the About Me section, I want to become a professional pastry chef...
I'm actually trying to decide what I want to do specifically.
I've taken a lot of interest in the show Ace of Cakes...I wonder if I want to specifically make cakes and decorate them or make all sorts of pastries.
I mean, I think it would be really fun to do cakes for a living, but variety is also good.
I made my boyfriend a cake for Christmas, partly because I have no actual money to buy him anything, and partly because it's what he asked for.
I made him a sponge cake with whipped cream and strawberries.
It was the first cake I had ever made, and it was a lot of fun...but when I tried it I could immediately tell that it wasn't a high quality cake...
I know I shouldn't really worry about it since it was my first one, but I wanted it to be absolutely perfect....kind of a perfectionist, I guess.
But anyway...cake decorating is pretty amazing, and I do have a somewhat artistic hand.
I'll just have to wait and see.
I live with my dad again. For most of my life it was moving back and forth between him and my mother because they have shared custody, but next August I'll be 18 and don't have to live with either of them should I so choose.
But I love my dad...I sometimes wish I could be young forever just so I could stay with him...
I have two sisters...they're twins, and they're 20. Apparently they favored mom more. They live in Virginia with her. I miss them so much...
I live mostly by myself. Dad goes to work at 2 pm and doesn't come home til 11 pm.
My boyfriend keeps me company at home, though, and sometimes I'll even go to his house.
I have a dog and a cat.
I prefer cats...I don't really like Asta, my dog.
Especially not after what she did last week.
It was funny in a sense, because of my stupidity...
Last week, Daddy asked me to make some sugar cookies and frost them with this cinnamon/cream cheese frosting he'd made.
So I did exactly that...I spent maybe 3 1/2 hours making those cookies: rolling out the dough over and over, baking them, cooling them, making more, frosting them, putting sprinkles on them, cleaning the sprinkles out of the sink, cleaning the flour and bits of cookie dough that fell on the floor...I even had to throw some of the dough away because I simply couldn't turn it into dough.
I'm beginning to wonder if 3 cups of flour was really necessary for the recipe.
But anyway, I piled all the cookies on a plate and set the plate on the table for Dad to immediately take one when he got home.
...Then, when Brandon came over, he wanted to go to Walmart...we went to Walmart...came back...cookies? Gone.
My first thought was that Dad was home and had put all the cookies in a bag to keep them from going stale, but it didn't take long for me to realize that Asta ate them all...
I beat her really hard...and cried for 10 minutes...
I got over it eventually, and after Dad came home I told him what happened and he decided that Asta will no longer receive people food or be allowed to beg for anything we have.
I was glad about that but...gosh...
I'll be sure to tell more about my Christmas, but I do have some cleaning to do...
I was just procrastinating for a bit.

Sweet Action.
This is my first ever blog.
After watching Julie & Julia with my boyfriend on Friday night, I had this really strong impulse to start a blog of my own.
That's probably a little weird, but I took one of those quizzes on blogthings.com and it determined that I was 70% weird.
I don't disagree with it...
I'm not sure if I'll get a ton of readers...I'm just a 17-year-old girl writing about her life.
The lives of teenagers are always interesting though!
I'm really mature for my age, though, so don't think I'm one of those stupid, superficial teenagers that whose minds focus on 3-5 things all day.
I do have some qualities about myself that are typical in the average teenager; for instance, I love texting and I never go anywhere without my music player.
But, I like to think of myself as different from everyone else, too. Not special, just different.
I'm almost a genius. I have yet to find out what my true IQ is...you can never really trust those Internet quizzes. I'm just incredibly smart, though.
Um...I'm a goth...sure, there are a lot of teenage goths, but we're like snowflakes in the sense that you'll never find two that are exactly alike.
I love music that you would probably associate people in their 40s and 50s enjoying.
I have a very different view on politics...I would never talk about my views with anyone else...I imagine a very huge argument would ensue...
I'm very independent...(in nature, not in reality. I still rely on my dad to take care of me).
I can't drive, I can't find a job...but I don't ask for much and I know how to take care of myself.
Oh...neato. I just saw this blue button flash at the bottom of the screen.
It's automatically saving this!
...every minute? Well...alright.
Anyway...I'll continue to write about my life either later today or tomorrow.
I think I'm really going to love this website.
