Well, I've actually been back to school for a week and 2 days now, but oh well :lol: Most of this blog is about school, so why not include it in the title? :lol: :roll:

I wish I could say that I missed this site, but truth be told, I don't :shock: :( My stress levels are lower, I'm a little happier, and the computer has been running a lot better :lol: Hmm...:lol: But, I felt I should come back and give a slight update on how things are going lately. I feel bad because I left on a sad note, and I don't like doing that :(

So, school started for me last Thursday on August 20th. I usually get this "back to school" anxiety, but I didn't get it this year :) Probably because I was so depressed and angry back then, but oh well. I didn't get it this year, so my first day of school was actually pretty good :D It was great to see all of my friends again :D And get this: my shyness seems to have disappeared!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: I still have it, but it's nowhere near as bad as it usually is :D I talked to everyone, and made lots of new friends :D Most of the people I talked to seemed a little freaked out at first because I had never talked to them before :lol: It was hilarious :lol:

We have a new principal this year :D He looks like a big goof, but he's actually a hard-a$$ :lol: The school is so obedient and willing now :shock: I've never seen it so peaceful....it's nice to be able to walk down the halls without the fear of getting stabbed, pushed, or shot :)

I have to ride the bus this year :shock: I was upset about it at first because I thought I'd be the only senior, but I'm not :D A lot of kids can't afford their cars anymore, so they have to ride the bus. I got picked on the first few days because some freshman (yes, freshman) thought I was in middle school :shock: :evil: I'M A SENIOR!!!!! :evil: I had to show them my school ID to prove it :roll: But the good thing about being a senior is I get to pick my seat, and I don't have to share it! :twisted: Hah!!! :lol: :P And since I'm the last one on the bus every morning, my new sophomore friend, Taneisha, told me she'd guard my seat. And she did! :lol: She forced one boy out of my seat with the threat of breaking his...well...you know :lol: He shot up and found another seat quickly :lol:

Back to my shyness: one bad thing about not being shy: I actually have boys fighting over me :shock: I never saw that coming! :lol: Two of them threatened to beat up the other one, so I had to threaten them both to get them to cut it out :roll: And then another one won't leave me alone, and he keeps doing things to make it look like we're going out :evil: He felt up my leg one time (and I kicked him XD), and another time he kissed me :evil: That was a mess :( And then to make things worse: Robert still likes me :shock: He was the friend I kept talking about in my earlier blogs. The one who ignored me because I didn't like him back. Well, he likes me again :roll:

Another thing that really irritated me, was a few days ago when I got off the bus. The bus drops me off at my driveway because I live on a busy street. Well, the bus stopp[ed the traffic behind us to let me off, and when I got off, some guy in one of those cars was calling to me and whistling at me :shock: :( *face palm* Mom came out of the house and told me to quickly get inside because he was checking out my...yeah :roll: :( :evil: And the kids on the bus heard it all because the windows were open :shock: So embarrassing....they won't let it go either :roll:

I'm back to my nerdy self :lol: I have a 113% in government right now :shock: :oops: And in environmental science, I'm one of the best students :D :P I seem to be the only one in my group who knows how to do any of the hiking and ecology labs :lol: And, my lab report was the best in the class :D The teacher said my details were amazing, and my methods were definitely the most effective :D This is great news because I want to be an environmentalist :D :D :D

My future career brings me to colleges :D I've been receiving many priority applications from a variety of colleges :D That means, if I fill it out and send it in, I could get an acceptance letter in 2 weeks :roll: Wow! :lol: But, I have my sights set on Purdue right now :D

Another random fact: My great-grandfather died last Friday. I wasn't really that close to him, but it was still a shock :( He was 89 years old...my family couldn't go to the funeral on Monday because my dad had an important meeting at work about the fate of his job, and he couldn't get the time off :( So, my family is shunning us right now :( Oh well... Hopefully they'll understand later...:(

So, this was my first full week back to school, and I'm still alive! :D :D :D I think that requires a celebration :D :wink: Hmm...what to do, what to do :lol: :wink:

So (again) :lol:, did I miss anything important?

I think I'm really going to leave this site for good now :shock: :cry: Well...other than the occasional pop in to check on show spoilers, a secret spot, and my trusted contributorship for Xiaolin Showdown :roll: But other than that, I think this is my final goodbye :cry:

It kills me to say this because this site used to mean so much to me :cry: I use to feel so loved - like I actually was somebody :( I used to come online 20 times a day, but now I don't care if I come on at all....:cry: :cry: :cry:

Going through blogs is a huge chore because most of them are goodbye blogs - blogs from friends who were here before I was :( My good friends who helped me get through freshman year :cry: Well, now those friends have moved on, and have their own lives, and I don't talk to them anymore :cry: I know I still have friends here, and I still wish to talk to them, but not through tv.com :cry: I'll give my email once more: moonlight1991@comcast.net and I have a Gaia account - username: trm6 I'm there everyday.

I don't mean to sound crazy here, but I've been going through an extremely rough patch lately :cry: Meaning? I have terrible mood swings :roll: So, I might change my mind a week from now and be on here commenting on blogs :roll: Who knows? :roll: All I know is that when I come here, I feel like I want to cry :cry: I just can't take it anymore...

I might still blog occasionally because blogging has been a release for me. I think I will still blog, but only about important or interesting things...Hmm...I haven't even left and I'm already having those mood swings :lol: :roll: *sigh* I need to get back to school :roll:

I guess I owe some kind of explanation here...the rough patch: this month has been an emotional roller coaster for me :roll: I was depressed, then happy, then hurt, then happy again, and now back to depressed :roll: I lost my best friend (for a short time, though it feels like forever), I became great friends with a boy named Robert, but he really liked me, and I couldn't return the feelings, so now he's ignoring me, and as a result from that, he let me down when I needed him most, and I fell into some really deep trouble with my ex-boyfriend :evil: :cry: Oh well :roll: I promised to stay out of trouble, but I can't help it if trouble finds me :cry::cry::cry:

Well, tomorrow I will be :roll: This month has been really stressful, and well...drama-filled :roll: I think more has happened to me this month, than all summer put together :roll: Anywho, I was really upset earlier, and my friend Robert called me. He knew something was up, but I refused to tell him what (and don't ask me now - I don't want to talk about it, and I will not tell you :() Anywho, he heard my mom talking in the background, and he asked if he could say hi to her. So, I handed her the phone, and next thing I know, she's telling him my complete schedule and plans for tomorrow :o :evil: Then, she said, "Okay, I'll have her ready." and handed the phone back to me saying "Na na na na na na!" :roll: :(

That sly SOB asked my mom if he could come kidnap me tomorrow evening and take me to the mall :roll: I have no choice but to go :roll: Especially since my mom likes him so much and dreams of me going out with him :( *face palm* It's a lose-lose situation for me :roll: Oh well....it might do me good....

I had registration for school today :o :cry: Believe it or not, I'm actually looking forward to going back...this summer has been a nightmare, and going back will keep me busy...I had major locker trouble....again :roll: I have trouble with my locker every year :roll: But this year, I was stuck there for an hour and had to get a new combination :roll: And guess what!? THE FRESHMAN ARE ALL TALLER THAN ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o :evil: :cry: I saw a few my height, and fewer that were shorter than me...:cry: I'm a senior, yet the height of a freshman :roll: Funny, or sad? :roll:

*sigh* But this isn't really the thing I'm apologizing for :( Not coming online these past few days has been weird, and, believe it or not, a breath of fresh air :) Every time I do come online, I think about all the PMs I have to reply to, the blogs that need commented on, my lack of blogs, and my unreached goals that I came up with for my 4 year anniversary next year. Well, it was nice not having to worry about them :)

As much as I'd hate to say it, I think I'm going to stop coming to tv.com as frequently as I used to. I'll still come on to work on the Xiaolin Showdown guide because that's a lot of fun, but as far as blogs go, I'm not too sure :( I don't know.....:( I said I was going to leave twice before, but I just kept coming back :lol: So we'll see :roll:

Anywho, I'm really going to miss talking to you guys, so if you want to still keep in touch, you can email me at moonlight1991@comcast.net And then maybe I'll get a Facebook in the near future and we can talk that way :) We'll see :wink:

Happy 4th of July!!! :D :D :D

My sister's graduation party was last Saturday. I helped my mom plan it, and it took quite a bit of planning :roll: It was lots of fun though, and the party turned out to be great :D My sister collected over $400 from it :D And she's still got cards coming :D And my parents are planning on giving her $500 soon :shock: Wow :shock: I wish I could show you more pictures, but I had to choose ones that didn't show my house or my family members :( It was hard :roll: I could only find 3 :(

This was her graduation cake :D It's Hello Kitty! :lol: My sister is 19 years old, and she loves Hello Kitty :roll: I guess I have no room to talk - I'm 17 and still watch kid shows :lol: :roll: The cake was huge, and very good :D I love buttercream icing :D :D :D By the way, the purple and gold were her school colors.

This is one of the gifts I got for Lindsay (my sister) :D She loves water globes, and collects them when she can. I found this one for her at the mall. The base in done in her favorite shade of blue. It even has sliver, glittery writing about sisters and such. You might not be able to see it well, but on top of the base in the globe is the word "Sisters" with a butterfly and flowers on top :D The "Sister" spins around to the tune of "Dance of the Flutes" :D It sounds kind of Celtic to me and I love Celtic music, so I thought it would remind her of me :lol: I even got her name engraved :D She cried when she opened it!!!!! :shock: :oops: I didn't expect tears, but it was a nice touch :oops:

This is a picture I took of it with the flash on :D I love how the light caught a rainbow :D It's so pretty! :D

While I was out taking my sister's senior pictures, I took some scenery pics of a Rose Garden downtown :D I thought they turned out well :D

A giant sundial :D Awesome :lol:

And then onto my favorite:

It looks like a puzzle! :lol: Or a postcard :D I absolutely love it! :D :D :D

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

I just love the second one, and the bottom one :lol: They're so adorable! :D

School is out!!!! :D :D :D This year was a nightmare, and I'm so glad it's over :D I'm still having a hard time believing I'm a senior now :shock: I don't feel like it....:( It doesn't feel like summer either...:? Oh well. My sister graduates this week, and I'm getting paid to help plan the party, and take the pictures :D It's going to be so much fun :D

My finals went very well :D Before I left school today, I checked my grades to see how I did :D Here they are:

Honors English 11 - A

Pre-Calculus - B+

History - A+

Latin 3 - A+

Child Development 2 - A+

I'm a little disappointed that I got a B+ in pre-calc, but I did my best, and that's all I could ask for :) Plus, a the most popular grade was a C, so I did much better than everyone else :P

Well, I don't really have much to say, so onto the pictures! :lol:
