SDROWSSAP

For the "Fritz" entry you must know who came before nikkipikkel, he was a rather accident prone individual and we haven't heard much from him lately. I believe he is still circumnavigating the globe in a hot airballoon, but no one knows for sure.

For the "fucking bastards" entry the password is a number. The number of voices in my head.

For the "Whore" entry the password is the official name of my first hamster. Now I called him a lot of things but the name I'm looking for is also the name of his father. . . (this should help weed out all of the ppl that don' pay attention- you guys are undeserving )

For the "I think he likes me" entry all you need to know is what my favorite drink is. All lower case if it matters. For those that know me this should be easy. And for those of you that actually saw this little module, props to you too for checking out the whole page.

You represent... insanity.
You're quite a quirky little creature. You're
emotions are varying. You may appear childish
and innocent, but you have a tendency to freak
out. You're incredibly random, but it's good
to be unique. People know you're an odd one,
but you certainly don't mind.

What feeling do you represent?

I'll bet you expected this answer. You already knew
you were a DARK ANGELIC, didn't you? You
are similar to a demon but slightly different
in that you don't revel in evil...you revel in
pleasure. Your wings resemble an angel's but if
that's so then you are a Fallen Angel - your
love of sin caused you to be cast from the
Heavens. They are black as raven wings and are
nearly as dark as your desires. You are
faithless and love it - you believe there is no
Judgement Day to fear and so you can do what
you want! You have a refined concept of what is
sexy and a slightly chaotic sense of 'fun.' In
fact, you love chaos and view much of what you
do as a game. You are typically attracted to
those that will challenge your mind, power, and
wit...and are 'dangerous' people like you. It's
not unlikely that you are bisexual or at least
open to the concept, because you seek
excitement and passion everywhere and in
everyone. Chances are you have a special talent
for magick - you're a powerful being and you
know what you want. Like a Serpent of Eden you
like to try your powers of seduction and
manipulation, though your intent is rarely to
cause harm. You have a deep, dark sense of art
and/or poetry, because your mind is a deep,
dark place. While typically smirking, amused,
and sarcastic, you are capable of severe
revenge and a passion and intensity unrivaled
by any other. In your eyes life is for
enjoyment and pleasure - nothing else. If
you're not having fun in your own twisted way,
you're not happy. You are easily bored with the
vast majority of people. You are most likely
drawn towards the Gothic subculture and
probably adore Goth music, art, and style. Many
people look down on your seemingly careless
lifestyle and may even consider you 'slutty'.
Not true. You just know you're sexy and you're
damn proud of it. Dark Angels have an outlook
most like Satanists - loving sin and looking to
none but themselves for power. Congratulations!
You're my kindred spirit. As far as I'm
concerned - you know what life is REALLY about.
Have fun...Muahaha.

Chew on that

Wednesday. 1.14.04 7:53 pm

I know I dropped off the face of the earth- but I'm back now . . . unfortunately.

So I'm paying for everything but rent, this includes the car insurance. (Damn I wish I hadn't gotten into that car accident last March) Not that I mind paying my own way, I told her I'd do this when I agreed to stay home and go to a JC. In addition I have to keep a record of the number of miles I put onto the minivan now. She doesn't trust me anymore- oh wait she never trusted me, but now she has reason and proof. Damn. Tell me, have your parents ever called the police on you? That's just messed up- I swear she must be getting senile.

Anyway, besides my New Year starting off uber shitty on the homefront, everything else seems to be going pretty well. Love my classes, love my professors, love my classmates. But maybe they all seem really great to me only because home sucks soo much. I only have classes Monday thru Thursday but that means I get to stay at home doing chores Fri- Sun, whoop-di-do. I guess this is the price of getting caught red handed. God I can't stop kicking myself in the head for this one. I was so mad at her for finding out, that I almost revealed all the other shit I've been up to, including all my little adventures this summer. God what a great summer it was. I should be studying for my first Bio lecure exam tomorrow but I'm a rebel, so to hell with that. Besides I got it in the bag, hmm sounds like famous last words to me- heehee.
I've got to look at this in a positive way. I'm 20 now. I've been disowned which leaves me free to do whatever I damn well please. (Like I wasn't already) So guess what I did? Anybody? anybody? I'M OFF TO PRAGUE! MUAHAHAHA! As soon as school is out for summer I'm off to Europe. Ok, so it's really a study aboard program but I'm extending my stay a few weeks after the progam ends to do a little exploring on my own. The plane flight is so expensive you might as well get your fill of the place while you're there. I think I'll do a little shopping in Paris, and wine tasting in Italy, some gambling in Russia, suntanning and swimming in the Mediterranean and eveything else that you do in Europe until your money runs out. And when that happens, when all the money I worked so hard for is gone - I'll come up with a new plan. Hopefully involving jumping out of a plane somewhere over New Zealand or Fiji.

As for school- I swear I'll go back . . . someday. But for now- I'm young dumb and most importantly not responsible for anyone else but me. So I'm putting ME first. So you can take a big juicy bite of my ass but you better savor it because that's the last thing you'll be getting out of Joie Pascual!

Oh Fuck

Monday. 1.5.04 1:26 am

So she find out about my snowboarding trip. For some reason she freaked out friday night when I didn't come home. She even filed a a missing person's report on me. After calling around and harassing my friends she got the story out of Audrey's poor mommy. She cancelled the missing person's report and called the police. She reported the minivan as stolen. My grandma did something like this once to her son too. In high school he got in trouble with the police for stealing cars, taking them apart and selling the pieces. He was arrestedin front of the house and she let him stay in jail for week. Now you may be thinking he deserved it but let me tell you about how she raised him. Oh wait - she didn't. She left him in Philippines when he was only 12, in the care of his older sister (my aunt) who was only 15 at the time, while she came to the States. In the States she became obsessed with the freedom she never had in her old life. It is much like the transformation my mother experienced after finishing law school. She was exposed to a whole new world. A world full of opportunities, ripe for the picking. But one cannot embark on new endeavors while past failures and misadventures still linger. I am one of those failures. a mistake. an accident. a hurdle. an obstacle. a parasite. a leech. a plight.

She called me on our way home from the trip. I had already found out from Audrey that she knew everything. She told me not to come home. She didn't want me in her house. She said she couldn't believe how stupid I was. That the car was unreliable and that I was putting people's lives in danger. She said I had no right to take her car. And that if I had just told her about the trip she would have rented me an SUV and paid for the whole thing. She asked me when she had ever said "no" to me. She said she let me go to Ashland. She let me go on my senior trip. She said she would have paid for my birthday party. At the time I couldn't speak. She has that effect on me. Everything inside me becomes solid, incapable of movement or expression. But she has said no to me. I wasn't allowed on a rafting trip with other camp counselors. I wasn't allowed to drive down to Disneyland on my senior trip. I wasn't allowed to get my drivier's license until I was almost 19. I wasn't allowed to have my friends drive me around in high school. I wasn't allowed to drive others around in the minivan. I wasn't allowed to cross the street until I was 10. The reason for all these no's was because she didn't feel that any of them were worth the risk. And I can tell you right now that driving through the snow, to the top of a mountain to fly down its sides while my feet are strapped to a piece of plastic would not be deemed risk worthy either.

Some of you think she says no because she is worried about me. About my well being. But what really troubles her is the thought that if sanything were to happen to me, she would have to be the one to take care of the situation and of me. They were risks to her. I'm a liability.
