  • Occurrences - A blog about my recent Life.

    Ok. So, last wed/thurs I ended up in the ER over Colitis, which at the time we had to make sure it was not internal bleeding.
    Colitis still sucks and was horribly painful.
    Not sure if I am completely over it yet, but I sure as hell hope so. Waiting for it to come back with a vengeance.

    But anyhow, heres my roadmap for this year.

    Its official, I'm going to college.
    Hocking tech, for Interactive Multimedia. I'm going with nick, were living off campus in a one bedroom apartment on a hill in the woods. Move in set for Sept 1. Classes start Sept 20th.
    Nicks taking computer programming. He got some grants, but otherwise he is walking into this completely broke! =) And jobless. He's getting alot of federal aid I think. Not sure. Either way, all he needs to pay of the bills is the water bill, the internet bill, and his car insurance. My parents were nice enough to set up a really craptastic 529 plan that only lets me use the money for tuition and dorm. >.<
    Btw.
    Were winging it but we got this.
    <3
    So, first year I hope goes well. I'm fairly excited. Quite nervous as far as going to the school and meeting people ect. Happy to not have to work at Krogers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! However I'll miss my friendies there.

    Me and nick need to spend some time doing something other than WoW.
    Lol.

  • Coming out of the Closet: Cancer

    So, this is really a post about the disease Cancer, not some metaphorical poem or something.
    As my dad always says "Cancer" is just another "c" word. Like, "caring". He says that "cancer" isn't the person. My dad is not a cancer patient, he's a wonderful guy who happens to have a terrible disease. Identifying himself before the disease, is so important. In 1998 he was first treated for thyroid cancer and has had radiation therapy and many surgeries to remove lymph nodes, along with many tests every 3-6 months. A few years ago he was diagnosed with Lung cancer [note: man's never smoked anything in his life] which when active is absolutely a horrifying process. Fortunately for my father, his cancer so far has [knock on wood] been slow to progress.
    Other than the fact that his disease eats at me day after day subconsciously, I try to not think about it. It's taken me over two years to actually realize that the doctors pretty much put an expiration date on my dad. They gave him X amount of time to live - I'd rather not mention how much, but having any amount of time due for death on anyone you're close to is hard to grasp.
    Death is not something most people enjoy thinking about, especially when it involves someone they love.
    The reason I even brought this up, is that today my 11 year old yellow labrador retriever was also diagnosed with lung cancer. Now, she's been blind for about 6 months, and she can't smell either. Now she can't hardly breathe, it's a fucking horrible thing to see. I love animals, and I love my dogs. She's still pretty happy though, which is a blessing. I don't want her to suffer. She's a wonderful animal.
    I think what hurts the most, is that one day in the future my dad will go through the same pain, but in a human way.
    I cry as I write this.
    I spent 14 years of my life without having my father active in my life, and now that we have been able to put things behind us, the years left to spend with him are few.

  • Heros and Cons

    So.
    Long story short, I left my purse in my car [I know, I'm a moron, please don't point this out. It's not like this isn't causing me enough trouble as is] last night. I got home at 2am. 5am, a knock comes on my door from the neighbor.
    "Someone broke into your car"
    "What, are you serious???!?"
    *goes to look*
    "Fuck! FUCK. Everything's fucking gone.. why did they have to take all my fucking shit!!!?!!"
    So, my purse and all its contents are gone.
    I carry alot of shit normally, but this time we had just gotten back from my relatives graduation, and I had all my super nice jewelry in there.

    I never realized how much shit I carry around until it's gone. And how much value it had.

    It's around 1150 bucks in items that were stolen from me. Making it a felony with just that alone, minus the identity theft and the federal offense of stealing a social security card.

    Including my social security card, my ID, my company debit card, my insurance card, my AAA card, my ATM card, my check book and all the checks, my savings tracker. Everything. My identity is pretty much fucked.

    The fucker threw a huge rock through my car window.

    The hero in this story is, however Nick. We were up all night, and since we spent about 4 hours between talking to cops, searching for my purse and its contents [nothing of monetary value found], calling and driving to banks, ect.
    I needed sleep, so he took my car, cleaned all the glass up, drove to a vacuum place and sucked more glass up, went to circleville to get a 35 dollar car window, took my door apart and put it in and got it working, helped call some more places, and put up with me freaking out. This ontop of everything we did before hand together. He didn't sleep at all.

    And for a change, the cops are giving us the upper-hand here. They've been very kind and officer Lechrone [possibly kyles dad for those who know him] received a call from a resident who found a burnt social security card and the worthless contents of my purse. We got my pay stubs back, about a zillion coupons, my green day idiot club card, me and nicks homecoming photo, my insurance card [YAY!!], my AAA card [YAY!], my ipod charger, my really nice lotion that was like 50 bucks, a card from disney I got about 8 years ago, the pure love promise card we got in high school [lol i really never throw anything away] and alot of papers and a pen that was in it. I also had previously found my change purse and my receipt for an ATM transaction when me and nick searched the trail behind the complex.

    So i got alot of the relatively unimportant things back. Means more than nothing. And it means that they have leads.

    A supena has been sent to the companies that were charged with the business debit card so that we can trace them. The first transaction was at 2:57am so, they must have broke in recently after me and nick got home.

    My cards and accounts are canceled and changed, with the exception of my social security card and my ID.
