My dad proposed to his girlfriend, Austina, on Valentines day. She said yes. So now they're engaged.

Mayo Clinic Tuesday. I have a good feeling about this particular visit. [even if it's just a check-up]

I'm very bored. There is litterally nothing to do when you've been stuck inside for as long as I have.

I saw JUMPER with Matt the other day. It was a pretty interesting movie.

Jim [my grandma's husband] is fixing my computer, so I'm computerless [unless I use my dads]

I'm procrastinating a lot of things, and I need to just, get some courage... or grow some balls, or whatever. ha.

I showered today. woo woo! haha ;] and thats the most exciting thing so far thats happend.

I played "would you rather" last night with Dylan. Sheesh, people think of some weird ones.

"WOULD YOU RATHER: fly when you fart, or pee every time you laugh"   [wtf??] 

All in all, its been an okay weekend. I just want it to be Tuesday.

Wednesday all my homework from last quarter is due, and I'm not done. Plus I have to take some tests. ugh.

Well... thats about it. Good day to you then.

yada yada + monkey flees

  • Feb. 12th, 2008 at 8:12 PM

So, my dad started this thing where you can go to see my medical updates and how I'm doing, if you're seriously concernd. :] its www.caringbridge.org/visit/emmageiger  check it out. sign my guestbook. I'd love it if ya did.

Anyways, its been a productive week ;]

I started a home school type thing where the teacher calls me on the phone and we talk about math for a half hour. I find it a lot easier than flipping out about missing school, and then trying to go and sit there for 90 minutes. I can tell that this is going to help. I'm also doing government this way. Not sure whats up with spanish or orchestra. bleh.

I'll probably do that for the rest of the quarter... maybe.

Everyone has been stopping by my house lately. I feel weird about it though because I look like crap. I blame the tube. I can't wear my jeans or anything right now though because I don't wanna disrupt it. So I'm in sweats all the time. And robes and PJs. I feel like a lazy bum. I wanna go out and do something. I've been cooped up to long.

I finish TWILIGHT and am now on to NEW MOON. (jocelyn, thanks for telling me about these books. they're amazing)

Going to the gastroanterologist tomorrow. More blood tests, I assume. They're gonna check my esaphogus cells and make sure the bad ones are gone. Then tell us when we're going to go to the Mayo Clinic for more studies. Joy.

My mom, Harlen, and I are going to look at a house in bethal. Its a four bedroom, five acres, house and its pretty cheap. I'm very excited. I keep dreaming of this house thats a four bedroom and has a lot of land, so maybe this could be it. Although it is kinda far away. 20-30 min from where I am now. But I am dying for change.

 A few other good things happend this weekend. But I'll mention those later.

Feb. 5th, 2008

  • 9:39 PM

 k. enough depressing stuff. 

doctors were in today; said that my esaphogus is healing pretty good. instead of 20 eosinifills (the bad things) i only have 5 (per inch, or however they measure it) so we just have to wait for the inflamation to go down.  looks like this tube is gonna be with me for awhile though, just incase i get bloated or gross feeling like i gotta puke, then i can do it out the tube. which means, no food, but possibly more liquids, which is better than 2 oz of water every 2 hrs. 

since i'm having this tube for a long time, i've decided to name it. His name is Kyle (reason; kyle rhyms with bile, and thats what comes out of it...er... him) His middle name is Damian (self explanitory, even though i think i spelt it wrong)

i had a massage today. it was good. made my pain go away.

I am pumped for morp. for sure am going. :] and i'm gonna sway with dylan. (since neither of us can dance. haha)

i'm in a good mood and am feeling a lot better. ^_^ it's great. but i'm on an emotional tight-rope. so, let the chips fall as they may (wow, enough cliches already....)

Events (god, I wrote a book...)

  • Feb. 5th, 2008 at 8:59 AM

 it's been eventfull. but let me start at the beginning (a very fine place to start)

Two days ago I got up to go walking around and get my strength back. I walked past this room and this boy looked at me. He smiled, and I politely smiled back. I walked past again, since there isn't to many places to walk, and he looked at me again. It was strange. So I went back to my room and a few minutes later his nurse comes in with a piece of paper and says "Hi, this boy, named Alexander, saw you walking and he wanted to talk to you, but I told him he wasn't allowed to leave, so he wrote you this note." So I read the note. It said something like "Hi Emma, I'm Alexander and I saw you walking by my room twice. I thought you looked nice. I want to make you feel better. It would make me feel better if you wrote me back." So I grabbed my pencil and wrote him a friendly note back. Little bit later my nurse came in and said "were you writing notes with a boy?" and i was like "yeah..." so she says "well he has some mental issues, and is in isolation, so he won't be able to harm you or anything, but i would stop with the notes." i froze. mental issues? oh god... then she tells me "he's like 'head over heals' and won't stop talking about you. So if he bothers you or gets out of his room, let me know, okay?" that scared me, but I figured he wouldn't do anything. But the past two days, everyone has been blowing this way out of proportion. his nurse is in trouble i think, they're trying to be super nice to me so that i do start something with the hospital because apparently that was against the "doctor patient confidentiality" deal. but whatever, he went home yesterday. But, even in the hospital, I still got it. oww owww. haha

Next; Ashley and Jocelyn came to see me the day sophia came, but it was around 6ish. (i don't remember the date because all the days kinda blurr together here) but I was super happy to see them. We hung out for like, an hour, talking, and laughing. Ashley is the kind of person where if you're in a really bad mood, she'll cheer you up, which was just what i needed. Jocelyn asked me how TWILIGHT was going, and it is going really great. I have a lot of time on my hands, so I'm almost done with it. It's an amazing book. I've actually been so into it that i've been dreaming about it. Is that weird? Maybe... but whatever.  Its not the usual genre I pick up though, but its a nice change. I love Edward. Haha.  And I love the higher vocabulary. That is an even nicer change.

My roomate is pissing me off to no end, and she shouldn't be. I mean, I am overreacting alittle. But she started crying last night saying "Its been so long..." and she's only been dealing with her issues for a week and they already figured out the answer, but she just can't have surgery until wednesday because she's like, addicted to morphine. I don't think she has the right to cry. She's always complaining too. Its like, ahhh, shut up!  Her mother brought in PIZZA, like she fucking brought that in, ordered, and everything. Omgahhh! Ask Jocelyn and Ashley how pissed I was. I still am just thinking about it. What kind of woman.... ugh. I don't know. She snores like a Mac Truck too. I've been sleeping with ear-plugs, and my ears are developing weird sores. Sigh... I want my own room.

I had a weird dream last night. Natalie and I were waiting outside this weird strip mall that was "kinda by lifetime fitness" only it looked different. We were eating chips and cheesy salsa dip - dancing - and waiting for Seth Green (i know, right?) Apparently I was suposed to be giving Dylan and Kari a ride home. (I guess I could drive) So the next day, after natalie and I camped out (seth never showed) Dylan came up to me and said "I got my license revoked." I was like "What?!" and hes like "yeah, i drove into a ditch yesturday trying to drive home." I said "show me" and we got into this big red truck. And he drove like a maniac. I kept yelling "let me out, let me out!" but he wouldn't. Finally we pulled past life-time and my mom was dancing in the street for money.... (not out of the ordinary. lol) ... and I made dylan pull over. I got out and hugged my mom, and looked in the passanger seat window. I looked not like myself. I was a chedder cheese color, my eyelids purple, my freckles drawn out, and my hair was long and wavy. I was crying, but I don't really know why. When I looked in the passanger seat window again, I saw my dad driving. He winked at me, and then I woke up. Yeah... weird...

Ugh, these are getting long, but I have nothing else to do other than talk to myself. 

Matt and I got in a fight yesturday. He called here and I wasn't in the greatest of moods, according to him. I think I have a right to be in a bad mood though. seriously. plus, you shouldn't pick fights with people in the hospital. Its not ethical. Anyways, he said I was being mean, but I'm not even sure what I did. Maybe I was, but my dad, who was sitting next to me, even said that I sounded fine. So then I was all pissed after we hung up, cuz it was an angry hang up. At least we said "bye" though. Then he called back, but i was busy, so i called him back and he said he was sorry... but that I was being different. That hurt. Then he suggested that we didn't talk until I got out of the hospital, and I calmly agreed. Then he got really emotional, and we said goodbye. I feel kinda bad, and will probably call him later today. 

I think I'm slinking into depression. For real. I'm really sad because of all the shit thats been going on. 

w h o d o e s d e p r e s s i o n h u r t? e v e r y o n e . . .  [blehh]

Baby Diapers and Stomach Juices

  • Feb. 3rd, 2008 at 5:40 PM

i smell... like baby diapers and stomach juices....

Ugh.  I hate my life.

my tube keeps draining. it got all over my bed....

its gross.

Sophia came today. Didn't stay to long, but i don't blame her.

its boring here.

She gave me candy.... it smells nice. Not sure how it tastes though.

I'm in a bitter mood.

I want to eat... I want to get out of here... I want it to be mid-march...

...so i can get this damn tube out of me.

Ugh. I hate my life....

Roomates

  • Feb. 2nd, 2008 at 5:48 PM

*i have the hiccups* I'm getting pissed at my roomate. She thinks shes all that and a bag of chips. Apparently she's got something similar to what I have, but it just started like, Thursday. So, she's all upset because she can only eat blan foods. They're over there talking about pizza and jello, and I'm sitting here, crunching extra loud on my ice chips. Thank God I'm not bitter about it. *hiccup*

I finally saw dylan and luke for the first time in ages today. I'm sure they were bored out of their minds here, but they stayed a pretty decent amount of time. They brought me these kick ass flowers. All the nurses keep saying "Woah, what kind of flowers are these?" This one nurse even said she was going to google them, and that they were her new favorite. Lol :)

Matt came by today too. It was nice. He stayed about 20 minutes, and had to go quick, cuz his mom was outside. he said that he might come by tomorrow. I heard Sophia might come, and Ashley might come. Probably at separate times.

I'm really sad right now. not sure why. Its like, everything totally hit me today. And not to sound conceited or anything, but I don't diserve this. What did I ever do? I mean seriously. Urg. *hiccup*

I have to twirl this tube thing so that it doesn't "crust over" as the nurse so loveingly put it. Kinda like when you get your ears pierced. I think just hearing that makes me wanna puke. (but I'm not gonna)

Going to the bathroom has become less of a chore. Woo hoo, right?

My stomach is full of air and it keeps fluttering out of this tube. Like a captivated fart. Ah, magical...

I'm becoming anti-social I think.... I'm not likeing this.

The only thing I like about the hospital is that I'm able to catch up on my reading *hiccup* I'm reading Twilight by Stepenie Meyer. So far its really good. Thanks to Jocelyn for the recommendations ^_^ People keep asking me if I want anything, so finally I just told them I wanted this book. Next I'm gonna ask for New Moon and Eclipse (I believe those are the right titles) But wow, I can't put this book down. xD

I might go to bed early tonight.

My mom and sister are coming at 7.

Better crank the morphine...

Happy Birthday Dylan!

  • Feb. 2nd, 2008 at 8:50 AM

 It's dylans birthday today. woo woo! He's coming to see me later today with luke.

I feel bad because I should be going to see him.

Afterall, it is his birthday...

Anywhoozers;

Last night a super cute doctor came in to draw my blood. His name was Dan, and he was a fellow red head. He got all cute and clumsy when he saw me. I don't know. Maybe my little mind was just exploring nothingness, but still, I had a little fun with it _ :) He'll probably be back at about 6 tonight to draw blood again. Since, after all, I have to get it drawn like, twice a day... ugh.

Feb. 1st, 2008

  • 4:48 PM

 If I had a dollar for everytime I felt like crap, I'd be very very rich. Since I last posted on here I did end up going to see my doctor at Mayo. She was super nice about everything. Although she suggested a feeding tube. Her idea was they were going to stick one down my nose, and have in threaded down my stomach and into the first part of my intestines. Magical, right? I started to cry because she said it had to be in there for six weeks. I called Dylan and told him I couldn't go to MORP. He was super nice about everything, but was mega pissed at the doctors. So anyways, I went home, and ate the last meal that I'd be able to have for six whole weeks. I went to Pot Belly and had an italian sub. I was alittle disapointed because there was no pizza sauce on it, but whatever. It was delishious, and I snarffed it down pretty quick. My mom took me to her salon and I got my hair all done up. It got colored more of a dark red, and has blonde highlights. I like it. Then she colored and waxed my eyebrows. I look pretty sexy, if I do say so myself. Then I ate some DOTS and Chocolate cake and dranks tons of water.
So Thursday, we overselpt, and showed up late to Childrens hospital radiology department. They had me go back there and wait in this little room. I was flipping out so bad. I had had an expirence before where a tube was placed in my nose and it ended in a lot of blood and a lot of pain. So finally they took me back and I was placed on a table and given Versed. I don't remember anything after that except screaming "Ouch! That really hurts" but my mom was right next to me the whole time. I woke up alittle later and was in a recovery room. The tube hurt so bad, and like would move when I swallowed. It sucked. They said that the tube didn't even reach down where they wanted it to because my stomach was so bloated. Eventually I was like, dying or felt like it. So the doctors came in and I told them I didn't want this tube anymore. Before I knew it I was set for surgery to have a feeding tube stuck inside my stomach. They put me out, and took the tube out of my nose, and put a new one in my stomach. Don't remember much of that though. I woke up for the second time and was brought into a room, which I'm still in. 
My stomach hurts so flippin bad though. Oh my god... I mean, I have a tube sticking out of it. It's pretty weird. I can't wait til this six weeks are over. Then I am going to eat a supreme pizza and a chimichanga. Oh it sounds so good right now. But hey, I shouldn't be complaining since they're actually figuring some crap out.  Ah well, wish me luck. I'm gonna be in here until maybe mid week.

p.s
happy birthday to dylan tomorrow ^_^

Mayo (not the condiment)

  • Jan. 30th, 2008 at 1:12 PM

 Well today has so far been interesting. I woke up at 3:45am and left for the mayo clinic at about 4:30. I slept most of the way here. We got here at seven and then waited and waited. Finally I was called into a backroom and got all changed and everything for my endescope. Had that done; it was deccent. I don't remember a lot from it. I guess the doctors started asking me about MORP and things like that, trying to get me to tell the truth about a few things. haha. But yeah, a little while later I woke up and was in the recovery room. Ate some sherbert. It was delishious. Then the doctor came in. He said,
"There was still food in your stomach from yesturday that hadn't digested yet. I had to suck out as much as I could. So you aren't getting any nutrients at all when you eat, so your body is bassically starving itself, even though you are eating. Your esophagus is inflamed and has a white coating all down it. It's a disease. You're eosphills aren't going away (the things i'm trying to get away by taking steriod medication) and we just aren't sure what to do with you. You might have to be placed on a feeding tube,"
My mom started crying and flipping out. I was still kinda out of it, so I didn't get all the details or anything, but this sucks. I don't want to have a feeding tube. I just want to be able to eat a supreme pizza when I want to. Or go out to Arby's and stuff my face and not have to worry about throwing up on everybody. I just want to be fixed. So then the nurse came in and was explaining the different types of feeding tubes they have and all this junk. Apparently its not going to always be hooked up to a bag, so I won't be like, BAG-WOMAN or anything, but still... its like an IV outlet or whatever you wanna call it, that would be hooked up to my smaller intestines. Then all my nutrients would be given to me through that. Can you imagine me taking gym with one of those? Ugh, I think I should be off the hook for this one.
Anyways; I have an appointment with Dr. Grothe at 3:30, so I have to wait here in this waiting room forever! I'm bored and tired, and my hand hurts cuz it still has the IV thingy attatched to it. Errrg.

I put the FUN in funeral!

  • Jan. 29th, 2008 at 4:15 PM

Okay, so I've been thinking about funerals lately_ and how the discription of the person that died's life is explained. You sing, cry, curse the heavens because your loved one is gone. Its really sad when people you love die;

I mean, just recently I went to a funeral, even though I didn't really know the girl who died, and it was extremely depressing. The church was silent; and all you could hear were the heavy sobs of her mother and others. I felt really bad.

However_
when I die, I do not want it to be all sad and stuff, because, now, thats all I know that girl as. A sad person with a sad family. (I do get sad during death, and i believe everyone does, don't get me wrong, I don't want to come off as one of those people who don't show emotion) I want my death to be a celebration of my life. For the most part (so far) I've had a pretty good life, with many funny - embarassing - weird - awkward momments as you can imagine. I feel that with the end of my life; people should bring up the best parts. Just like when a TV show goes off the air; the whole week before the "final episode" they show reruns of their best shows, and highlights. I guess this would be the only time I could compare my life to a sitcom... well, hopefully.

My funeral preferances would be;
-have uplifting music / an awesome band playing all my favorite songs

note;
they may need alot of persuasion.
-have each close friend come up and share a funny story they had with me.
-everyone wearing bright and happy colors, instead of black.
-poster boards full of pictures from my life (from my good side)
-people smiling and laughing

Or;
I watched this movied called The Weather Man, and in it, the main character's dad had a living funeral. Where people had what would have been like a funeral for him while he was still alive. That way he got to see and hear what everybody had to say and people got one last change to say goodbye. So if I am going to die, and people know about it, thats what I want. I want to be able to see and hear what people thought about me. Then maybe I can say some departing words of wisdom or something and it'll dazzle everyone.

Death is depressing enough as it is. I want my friends and family to make my death alittle easier. Maybe even have a pinata to wack at if you liked me enough to want to take it out on something. bwaha.

Although, all this won't be happening for a long time... so don't worry about that.

Chocolate with Moxie

  • Jan. 29th, 2008 at 3:56 PM

Well, I'm officially tired of being sick. Seems like thats all I am these days. Saturday morning was the worst. I thought I was honestly going to die. Part of me wishes I would have, because I'm just so god damn tired of this all. I threw up so much that I passed out in the ER at Childrens Hospital. Then my veins like, collapsed so they had a hard time getting the IVs in. My legs went numb, and I puked even more. I just couldn't stop. And it was to the point of it just being strained. I wanted to die. I want to be done with this. It's crazy insane. But I'm going to the Mayo Clinic tomorrow to get an endescope done, and so they can check on my eosynifilic esaphagitis & gastro-naropothy. God, thats a mouthful.

I'm freaking out because it turns out that I'm gonna have to drop an elective next year and take fuckin' gym class over again. So I'll be stuck in a class with all the little ninth graders and being torchered in gym, the class that I hate so freakin much. As you can tell, I'm not thrilled about this decision. My dad isn't either, and he's getting really pissed off. I'm not sure what class I'm gonna drop. Probably drivers ed. and I'll just take that over the summer or something. Which sucks. I just don't wanna have to worry about a class as dumb as gym. And if its gonna effect my grades and plans to take college classes in high school, I'm going to punch a shit load of babies. No fuckin' joke. Urgh. I'm so mad right now.

I missed the first day of the new semester. I'm really nervous about that. I mean, thats like missing the first day of school or something. So I have a feeling that I'm gonna be stuggeling already. Plus now I have a new lunch period, and still don't know who I'm gonna sit next to. God, life just keeps getting better and better. I think I'm coming down with something.....

I miss my friends.
Dylan... ashley... Luke... all the people in orchestra.
I'm like, having serious departure issues, I think.
I need to get better. Its having a serious effect on my life. I hate it.

Jan. 25th, 2008

  • 10:10 PM

God, I've been super sick the last two days.

I mean, ugh, it started on Wednesday. And I've been bloated and puking and its just horrible. But I have a feeling it'll pass soon. I've been drinking a hell of a lot of vitamin water. It's starting to grow on me. Ohhhh and my acid reflux has been terrible too. So I haven't been getting much sleep.

I'm twitterpated.... if thats even a way to describe what people call it now a days.
It's almost to the point of being pathetic..... ...almost. :]

I might have to take Phy Ed. over again, and I'm going to die if I have to. I'm seriously not thrilled, and blort.... I think that would just make me even sicker knowning that I had to endure that hellish class again. And thats gonna mess up my plans to take college courses during high school. So my whole life is like, fucked up because of damn gym class, which, looking at the bigger picture, does it even matter later in my life? Seriously... ninth grade gym class shouldn't have to make or break you.

sigh.... I hate my life.

I'm nervous for second quarter, because its gonna be like starting ninth grade all over again. New classes, having to look around for them and disiffering who to sit with at lunch. I'm kicked out of 5th lunch now, so now I can't sit next to dylan and luke and all them guys. Grr.  I think I'm having a bad week.

I can't wait 'til summer.

Floppin' Fishes!

  • Jan. 22nd, 2008 at 7:38 PM

I'm officially going out with a boy :] So far, so good.

Apparently I'm getting an I in all my classes because I haven't been there so much... but my teachers said that I'll be able to get my work in, and that I shouldn't have to worry about anything. Thank God. I have been spazzing so much lately, that any more stress would make me explode and bite a babies head off. Which, that wouldn't be good.

But my parents have to fill out this "appeal" thing... and its like, evil. I don't know how many people my dad has explained my stomach thing to... but it seems like he just gets tossed around and no one is gonna listen to him about it. Rawr.

I'm really bloated tonight. Its gross. I supose two bottles of BOOST and some clam chowder didn't help... blehh.

Today I relized how much I hate gym. That class has got to make me feel the most unconfortable ever. (if that made sense) I hate running and doing all that crap infront of people. I always think to myself when we do team building activities "someone else will get the ball" "someone else will block it" I could just stand there the whole game, and not do anything. I'm sure no one would notice. I wouldn't even notice. The only time I really like that class is when I'm on a team with mediocre players and then I shine... why can't all gym class people be placed with the appropriate group? I don't understand it. Therefor I loose motivation. I honestly have no motivation for that class. The only reason I even do anything is that I am constantly being watched; graded; judged. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't do anything.

I can't wait until it's summer.
I'm sick of snow
I'm sick of school
I'm sick of being cold
and getting up early
and being able to see my breath.

ughhhhhh, i don't feel good, or happy right now. I need candy, but I'm sure that won't help at all.
*poof*

Weekend Update

  • Jan. 21st, 2008 at 5:25 PM

Well, this weekend sure has been a surprisingly interesting one.

I made a new friend, named Matt, and he's pretty cool. We hung out and went bowling. And, knowing my bowling skills, they sure shined when I scored a 60 for the first game. He scored a 250. I had a lot of fun with him, and met his parents. It was pretty crazy.

My mom and I had a lot of laughs this weekend too. It was nice to catch up with her & really have one on one conversations with her.

I love when she gets super hyper and super weird.... sept when she's around my friends.
Her and I went to goodwill and spoke in british accents the whole time. ^_^
She bought me a polariod camera, which I loooooove!

Rented a movie called the HEARTBREAK KID. I think its my new favorite movie of all time. Ben Stiller was great in it.
Can't remember the last time I laughed so hard at a movie. haha.

I cleaned my room up, sorta.

I finished my gym make up sheets, thank the holy bible! && I did a lot of my other missing work.

I'm so nervous though that the quarter is ending, because; I'm not ready. Since I've been gone so much, my grades aren't really the ones that I wish I had, so I'm probably going to be staying after a lot this week, working my ass off to make everything in on time. Who knows if that will even work. Ugh.

I'm really happy for some strange reason, but I have cramps. blehhhh. being a girl is the devil...

sucks to you and your ass-mar!

  • Jan. 17th, 2008 at 3:35 PM

Good lord, I need to work on my social skills. The older I get, the more anti-social I seem to be. I remember my dumb little years of elementary school where I was so loud and so much fun (well, when I wasn't be obnoxious to the point where people wanted to staple things to my head) It seems each year I age, I become less fun and more.... mature....

humpf. depressing.

My brain is overloading with stress. School and all the work I've missed. Its evil. I have never gotten a bad grade before in my life, so this is a huge deal for me. I feel like one of those bad ass kids who smoke pot behind the school between classes. >.< its making me paranoid.  I'm also paranoid because people keep asking me why I was gone, and like, "were you suspended?" "are you on drugs?" "are you anti-social..." but now I'm just getting off subject.

I'm tired and itchy. ugh.

I am going to get a job. raise money. and buy a ticket to england for this summer. I asked my mom if I could go, and she said "Emma, if you raise the money, I'll let you go." So I'm gonna do it, just to freak her out. Then; I'll need to convince my father to let me. I need a vacation. The last one I went on consisted of my little cousin, Dylan, following me around like a freak asking "wanna do a puzzle?" "wanna race Tonka trucks?!" I eventually went on a walk by myself, and got lost. My mom flipped when I showed up back at my aunts house. (she lives in Colorado) but yeah... I need a vacation. And, I wanna meet Paul. ha. ;]

I'm bored. This journal entry is boring.

I've decided that I need to become more cynical. Not to the point of being annoying an the kind of person you don't really want to hang around because you know that the negative ora around that particular person will just bring you to a bitter mood, but enough so that I don't get disapointed so easily. Spending so much of your life being optimistic only leads to a greater disapointment in people and basically the entire world around you. Take the Doctors at Mayo Clinic for example. Just because they work at the Mayo Clinic shouldn't have ment that I get all excited and expect to much out of them. After all, they are people too.  So when they told me that I'd have to come back on Friday for more motillity testing and that they even aren't sure what is wrong with me, I could have been prepared. Instead I found myself in tears in their office, over-ruled with disapointment and anger. I could tell my parents felt the same way. Especially when they got mad at me for feeling the way I did. (and still do, as a matter a fact) Anyways, so what they DID tell me was that I have inflamed white blood cells in my stomach and esophagus. My stomach moves slow, when it does move. Other than that, we didn't really conclude much.
Also, my cynical nature should apply to the people I am constantly surrounded by. Having to high of expectations for people leads to high disapointments as well.  Thats probably why  I don't have many friends either.  I only like to surround myself with people that I find intellectually stimulating.  Most people that go to Coon Rapids High School don't really fit that discription. Come to think of it, I don't think a lot of the teenage population fits that discription. That makes me angry. Its like, no one really wants to talk about goals for the future and other life plans. Most people are still entriged by sex jokes. (Don't get me wrong, I love a dirty joke as much as the next person, but sometimes, thats all you hear these days with people around my age.) Pretty much the only person I share this stuff with would be Dylan. But thats only because most of the time, our outlook on life is the same.

Swarm!

Today was great! I finally saw my first Lacrosse game - the Minnesota Swarm! Oh my God it was actually pretty cool!
The best part was, I got to race in a hamster ball during half time with my dad's girlfriend's kid, Blake.

I was sitting watching the game and this woman came up to me looking all official and said, "Hey, would you like to race in a giant hamster ball during half-time?" I was totally stunned. "Anything that involves a giant hamster ball will always include me!" I told her, so during the second quarter these people came to get me and Blake and we were in this room right next to the action! It was really cool. And we were chillin' with Jack Rice from WCCO Radio. (I made him and this other guy laugh by impersonating Forest Gump)

They rolled out these sorta deflated balls and had us hop in our own. Then whipped out the leaf blower and blew up the balls. It was so cool. But really had to hear other people outside the ball. Not to mention it was hard to move around in there! So we kinda had a little practice with walking. I fell over once while we were doing that. Everyone was laughing- but in a good, non-offending way.

Once we rolled out on the field; we lined up on the center line on opposite ends. Our goal was to run and go around the goal and then keep going past the center line on the other side. So a cheerleader was getting me all pumped up; and smiling with her happy teeth and happy pom-poms and happy little outfit. She was very happy....

"We now introduce BIG MAC and the FIREY RED HEAD!" Jack Rice said into the microphone. He explained what we each like to do. He said I liked art and sketching, and Blake was on the cross country team, and spent all his time running. Yeah, Blake had the advantage. haha ;]
"ON YOUR MARK. GET SET. GO!!!!!!!!!" rung through-out the Xcel stadium. I ran and pushed the ball and ran. I made it to the corner before Blake did, but then, I lost my balance and tripped. Fell. The crowd went, "awww!" and I felt super embarassed, but I got up and ran! Blake and I bumped into eachother and had a small bumper-ball-battle right there! haha, but then he zoomed on by and I tried running... I made it, but he made it alittle quicker than I did. Still, it was super cool!

Today; ugh, today.
I'm happy - sad - angry  - lonely - tired - mad - forlorn - lethargic - nostalgic & most of all; pathetic.

for starters; I was suposed to go see Juno, but didn't have a ride, so I had to cancel and I feel bad about that.
secondly; I've just been thinking about this mean dude who did some pretty bad stuff to me, and feel pathetic and sorry for myself.
I'm listening to Panic! at the disco, and it reminds me of him. I know, "stop listening to it then, emma!" but I can't. I just... ugh.
I'm really lonely. I really wish I had a best friend. I was walking with my sister and her friend from caribou today; and they seem so happy.
I want to be happy like that.
I'm happy because I went to caribou with Dylan today; (earlier) and we had a nice talk. Its fun talking to him one on one once and awhile.
besides, ya know, doing that on myspace and wasting our lives on the computer. blehh.
Dylan is my best friend, yes. But.... I want a girl best friend. I don't get along with girls though. I don't know what it is, but I don't.
I'm really antsy; and really want to go to England. I'm like, dying here. Gosh. England is  my place baby!
And I uber wanna meet Paul. Then we would go clubbing and rave and have an awesomelytastic time! booyah.
I have a shit load of homework to do; and I'm so not in the mood for it. Its sad really. I have to get that done.
OH MY GOD! I LEFT MY VIOLIN IN MY DADS CAR! AND HE WENT TO WORK. OH CRAP! ITS GONNA CRACK!
shit. now I have that to worry about.
I've been feeling super sad lately, and confused about what I want out of life.
I know I'm only 14, but I'd still like to know the general direction in where I'm headed.
If its anything like what my parents (mostly my mother) have ended up; then, I'm not liking my future.
My mother; urrrg, my mother.

I want to rant.
I want to cry.
I want to be alone.
