I heard that a few people here are scared and worried about/for me, because of some kind of rumor going around saying I've passed away.

Let me assure you all, I'm alive and well... =3 I'm still in Tempe, Arizona, with my mom and now my aunt is with us as well. About 8-10 months ago my house was broken into and my computer was stolen, and it took me forever to get the entire list of parts I'd built into it, so I could have our house insurance pay for a new computer, so I haven't been online much at all in the last ... well, forever .. heh.

Anyhow, I just wanted to reassure everyone, that I'm ok and everything is fine. I wasn't in any kind of crazy accident, I didn't almost die or anything....

*hugs*

to anyone who became crazy worried, I'm sorry for the scare, not sure where the rumor started from but there's nothing to worry about...

thanks for caring =3

lots of love y'all!

w00t

hopefully at least ... >.<

I've been in Arizona now for .. almost 2 years now ... jeez has it been that long already?

Anyhow... I haven't done much of anything really in that time. Just been giving my family a helping hand with taking care of the house and property, and all the stuff within it, that was left to my dad and his sisters when my grandmother passed last year...

My grandparents where nothing short of pack rats .. but extremely organized while being so, I honestly wish I could have the discipline to do some of the stuff they did when it came to holding on to things that could be useful being held on to like they did.... for example, I came upon many boxes full of large freezer bag ziplocs... and each one was full of envelopes and mail .. bills rather. Each ziploc was labeled 'Month / Year - Bills' .... o.O oh you might be like. . meh, thats not a tough thing to accomplish .. oh yea? They had ziplocs w/ every bill they've gotten and paid off (even the ones that weren't w/ all the collection notices - one even with a warrant lol - stapled together) going back every month of every year to about the mid 1970s ... *headdesk*

That's some crucial hard work to maintain....

So yea, I've been here helping the family with stuff, but the main reason I think we're still here (it's actually just my mom and I living at my grandmothers house, my dad and sister live in Virginia still... but the main reason we're still here is .. get this; One of my aunts, my dad's sister... has been trying to take my dad to court because she is trying to contest my grandmothers Will... o.O

Of the 3 kids in that family, my dad was the only one to actually make something of himself (I mean career wise --- father wise he was a failure >.> ), his 2 sisters spent their lives floating jobs and delving into drugs and loser type relationships... They'd come visit with my grandmother (both lived less than 10 min from her) and steal from her purse when she wasn't looking ... like .. in their 40s they were doing this! .. so seeing this go on and knowing if she passed away and if they did get money willed to them upon her death she knew they'd just blow it all away and end up being financially challenged when the time they could no longer work would come (the one suing is very handicapped, she can't walk well at all and uses a walker, I think she had a stroke when she was a kid... ) so in her will she noted that the 2 sisters would not recieve any money from her estate for a period of 10 years. It was done in the best interest of her two daughters, but the one just is too effin greedy to care that it was listed in her mothers last wishes. They did get money from the stocks that were sold a few months after her death, it was like .. $13,000 bucks to each of the 3 siblings... my dad used his share to keep making payments on the house we'd found ourselves taking care of, but the other two straight up blew all of it...

meh .. its a facked up situation fueled by greed and complete lack of respect for the deceased, as well as family.

On brighter notes, I got to hit up Projekt Revolution in Phoenix the 1st of Aug.. that was badass, and fackin hot! 110-115 degrees that day .. the concert was from 10am or so to 11pm or so .. outside .. all outside. I ended up having to leave around noon or 1 almost having collapsed from heat exhaustion but made it back in time to see My Chemical Romance play, followed by an amazing performance by Linkin Park.

If anyone is interested, Linkin Park had their people record the entire performance they played (only LP tho) and after mixing and doing whatever they do with live shows, they put the show up for download by people who bought the chance to at the merch booth. Only 1k 'keys' for downloading were sold at each show, but pm me and I can privately give ya the link to where I've uploaded 6 different Projekt Rev LP shows. Also an unreleased track that was meant for Minutes to Midnight but found itself on it's bside .. a very awesome song in my opinion....

shows I have uploaded are:

07/25/07 - White River - Auburn, Washington
07/27/07 - Sleep Train - Marysville, California
07/28/07 - Hyundai Pavillion - San Bernadino, California
07/29/07 - Mountain View - San Fransisco, California
07/31/07 - Coors Amphitheater - Chula Vista San Diego, Ca
08/01/07 - Cricket Pavilion - Phoenix, Arizona (the one I went to !! )

anyways, just thought I'd pop in and update this journal .. it ended up being about 5 chapters longer than intended hehe but oh well ^.^
