To whom it Concerns

I know that I had already posted a poem like this, but this one is much (at least, too me, and this coming from a person who doesn't like what she writes!) better!

To whom it Concerns

By: Rio Donovoyn

To whom it concerns

I am nothing more than a girl

Held up by your strings as you make me twirl

To whom it concerns

I lost my assignment

Maybe I’ll get lucky

Solitary confinement

To whom it concerns

Samwise's work will be late

It fell on her pancakes

And stuck to her plate

To whom it concerns

I’m not made of steel

When I get blindsided

My pain is quite real

To whom it concerns

I’m not that great with a ball

But guys don’t watch wallflowers

When they’re crusin’ the halls

To whom it concerns

I keep to myself

But always willing

To help someone else

To whom it concerns

I prefer to read

Than to bleed all over the floor

To whom it concerns

My name is Sam

And no, I do not like

Green eggs and ham

To whom it concerns

I don’t mean to squawk

But it really burns

To whom it concerns

~Finis~

College

Well, like I've been saying before: All I have left in finishing my AA degree is:

3 sciences
3 gyms
Math 95
College level Math

I'm going to have trouble in the sciences, but the gyms are going to be easy. Here's what I'm figuring for Spring:

1 science
2 gyms
Math 95

The science is: 5 credits
The math is: 5 credits
The gyms are: 1 credit (each)

In total: 12 credits. That's not too bad. I had that for Fall.

For winter, text books cost me: $333.64
Ugh.

Been staying up all night and sleeping all day. Hmm. Kind of like a vampire.
School is approaching fast. Thank. God.

Kimi and Nathan didn't come pick up the brat for the weekend because they were "Sick". If they wanted him that damn bad, they couldn't came and got him!  Ugh. Well, I go back to school before he does, so that means I get to get out of the house and not baby sit!

My mom did something nice for me today: Kenny wanted to go out and get more firewood and asked if I could babysit (I was sleeping). Mom said that I couldn't because I was "sick". So mom stayed home and babysat. Wow... That's cool. :)

Blagh. More later.
Well, I'll leave you with a parting quote:

Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if only one remembers to turn on the light."

--Albus Dumbledore 

~Rio

...

You don't seem to want my advice, so go find another person. I won't mention names, but you seem closer to that person than me. I have no reason to be jealous. That's stupid. You may feel worthless, but I feel like shit. I'll let you go talk to this person. Maybe I'll just stop bothering you period. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

I HOPE THAT YOU ALL HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!

REMEMBER! 

Here are some things to remember when opening gifts: 

Rip open the paper

If it's something you want, scream in pure excitement. 

Don't forget the stocking! 

Christmas is my favorite time of year. Why? Because of the snow, the presents, the break from school... LOL! 

What are you having for Christmas dinner? I'm having: 

Ham

Deviled Eggs

Mashed potatoes

For dessert: 

Apple and Cherry pie. 

Well, I hope that you have a Holly Jolly Christmas...Because it's the best time of the year!! (<-- Ha-ha... did you catch that?) 

~Rio

Funny

A few days after Christmas, a mother working in the kitchen, was listening to her son play with his new electric train set. She heard the train stop and her son said 'all you sons of bitches who are getting off, get the hell off now, and all of you sons of bitches who are getting on-get your asses on the train cause we're leaving right now.'

The mother went into the living room and told her son, 'we don't use that kind of language in this house. Now I want you to go to your room for two hours. When you come out, you may play with your train but you must use nicer language.'

Two hours later, Her son came out of his room and resumed playing with his train.

Soon the train stopped and the mother heard her son say, 'All passengers who are disembarking the train, please remember to take all of your belongings with you. We thank you for riding with us today and hope that you will ride with us again. For those of you just boarding, we ask that you stow all hand luggage under your seat. Remember that there is no smoking except in the club car. We hope that you will have a pleasant and relaxing journey with us today. For those of you who are pissed off because of the two hour delay, please see the bitch in the kitchen.

Whoot!

Tomorrow's Christmas!!! Holy shit! I can't believe it! Where did the time go these last few months?!

~Rio

Christmas

Holy. Shit. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve! HOLY FUCKING SHIT! I can't believe it!
I refuse to say, "Happy Holidays". Why? Because it's MERRY CHRISTMAS. Yes, I understand if it doesn't fall into your religion and I'm fine with that. YOU can say Happy Holidays, but I will say MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Well, we survived the "End of the world". I knew that we would. I had a dream, though, that I would NEVER wanna have again. I can't remember all the details, but I NEVER want to have it again. EVER!

I can't believe my birthday is coming so soon. Wow... I'll be... 20. Sheeeeeeeeeit!

I'll be continuing on in my studies for my AA. I would have made the Dean's list this semester, but apparently you need 15+ credits and a 3.0+ GPA. I only had 13 and I had a 3.62. DAMMIT! Oh well. My goal for Winter? GET ON THE DEANS LIST. All throughout high school, I was a B+ honors student. I WILL RETURN TO THAT STATUS!

I had a list of books and a CD on my Christmas list this year. If I want clothes, I'll order them online or something. What I really want? A few hours alone in Powell's (Bookstore in downtown Portland, OR). God, I fucking LOVE that place. I set aside a budget of $400 JUST for Powell's (Oi. A reader's gotta set aside some stash, right?!)

God... Going to get back into my regular routine is going to be a bitch once school starts up again. Oh well... My first class doesn't start until 10:30A.M anyway. Meaning I can get up at 8am! :D

Been going to bed between the hours of 3-6am. It's nice to stay up all night and sleep all day. I truly do miss it. I love seeing the sunrise.

Laters,

~Rio

Tears of an Angel

I don't know what it is about this song, but I like it!

Checked my grades....

So, like the title says, I checked my grades this morning...
.
..
...
....
.....
I GOT A 3.62 AND I NEEDED A 2.0+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO A's AND A B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so fucking proud of myself, when I saw that, I started to sob my face off. It was like a HUGE weight was lifted off my shoulders.
I'll tell ya, I'm not a very...religious type of person, but by God, I prayed to the big guy upstairs A LOT and this is what happens.


~Rio

Nervous as Hell

Fall grades are being posted tomorrow. Holy shit, I'm fucking nervous. If there is a God, Please, please, PLEASE, let me do good! I'm mostly worried about my Mythology grade... PLEASE Let me do good! <3

Christmas is 9 days away. Holy. Shit.
No snow. God dammit. :(


Little brother is acting like a brat in school.

Blargh.

~Rio

No snow...

It looks like a brown Christmas... I'm so jealous of the other people (Mid-westerners) getting all the snow... I wish I was there...

16 more days until Christmas... If anything, I just want snow...


~Rio

TWO WEEKS LEFT

TWO WEEKS LEFT OF THE QUARTER! FUCK YES!

Blah. I sat at the Bazaar for 6 hours. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I bought some stuff and had a good time. :) Though, I had a headache for the last hour or so. Won a few prizes from the hourly raffle.

My best friend is coming tomorrow! Whoot! Though, I have to get up at 5:00AM because we're meeting her up in the Cities at 7AM and it takes about...an hour to get there or something. We're going to have breakfast at Denny's. When we drop her off at the bus station in Pasco, mom and I are going shopping!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!! BARNES AND NOBLES!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D

Call me crazier than a bag of cats (or something to that effect), but I love opening a NEW book to a page and inhaling the scent of said book. I can't help it. To me, it's like crack. <3

My room is all clean! On my last load of laundry and we'll be all set for tomorrow! Whoot! :D <3

I'm tired. Gonna be even more tired tomorrow and I don't even get a nap. :( Oh well.

I'M TOTALLY COLORING MY HAIR ON TUESDAY RED AND GREEN! (Red on top and Green on the bottom) Hehe.


~Rio

Update

Well, I have to get up at 7.30 tomorrow morning because I'm helping my mom do a bazaar at the Senior Center. It's from 9am til 3pm. That's 6 hours. Oh well. I'll have my crocheting and Philosophy essay to do.

MY BEST FRIEND IS COMING ON SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SO FRICKIN' EXCITED!!!!!!!!
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh. It's almost the end of the quarter! THANK GOD! That means I won't have to take Myth and Folklore anymore! PRAISE JESUS!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope ya'll had a good Turkey Day! I know I did! What are you grateful for?
I'm grateful for:

~ A loving family
~ Loving Friends
~ Patience on how to crochet

Of course, I'm grateful for a lot of other things, but I'm not going to list them on here! Now I can finish putting up the rest of my Christmas decorations! Whoot!


Love,
~Rio

Crochet

So! I finished my first crochet heart! (Well, to me it looks like a heart!)

What does it look like to you? I used an Aluminum H (5mm) hook and Red Heart "Bright Yellow" yarn.
I'm proud of myself for this! I actually found it kind of relaxing and I lost track of time and seemed to block everything else out when I was crocheting! Yay me! lol.

Mmm...Time for some popcorn!

~Rio

Crochet

Well, I'm learning how to crochet and it's not going very well. :( I've got this video that I'm trying to learn from and it still isn't going very well. :(

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqca00LdmAc

Ugh. Seriously? I wish someone would just...SHOW me how... I get how to make a slipknot and do the beginning part in the video, it's just the whole OTHER part! Fuck this.


In other news...

Thanksgiving is on Thursday and I'm trying to convince my mom to go to the Tri-Cities for Black Friday. I also have a string of Christmas lights up and have been listening to a little bit of Christmas music.


~Rio

Blargh.

I started this new game on Facebook. It's called, "Ghosts of Mistwood". I fucking suck at it... I'm just going to quit the fucking game. Sorry I don't have enough lanterns or friends that wanna play. My friends are in school and have things to do...

Jesus...I'm fucking pissed off and depressed... I'm stressed out...

Yeah...

~Rio

Thanksgiving

I can't believe that Thanksgiving is NEXT THURSDAY! Wow! Sheesh. I get the ENTIRE next week OFF! Whoot! I'm SO STOKED! :D:D:D The Fall semester is almost over...wow. I'm passing all of my classes, too! (I dropped my math to add a Stress Management).

Well, I don't have strep, but the friggin' pills the doctor gave me are upsetting my stomach all to hell. I figure that maybe I'm not supposed to drink dairy with them... Hm... Oh well. I now weigh 261 (From 280) and I'm 5'7 (I grew! I was 5'6)!!!

My best friend, Kat, got me addicted to the Facebook game, "Ghost's of Mistwood" Damn. It's addictive. I know that when we're IMing, I have to BUZZ her a few hundred times to get her to respond! Lol! (Don't worry, Kat. I still love you!)

I'm going to be mailing out Christmas cards here soon. :) I know, I know. It's not even Thanksgiving yet! What am I doing thinking about Christmas?! Well, every year around this time, I love it when Wal-Mart get's there Christmas items out. It brings back a certain...nostalgia. I love the snow... I love sitting in front of my window with a steaming cup of hot chocolate (with marshmallows!), Christmas music playing softly in the background, and watching it snow. I'd be so relaxed. I love the snow (Hell, I love the winter season. I'm a winter baby anyway! I'm am NOT a summer person. I HATE the heat!)

Finals are coming up Dec. 10-12 (I think) and then I get Dec. 12- Jan 2nd off from school! YEEEEEEEEEEES!!! FUCK YEAH! :) Hehe.

~Rio

The Shining

I'm watching The Shining with my step-dad. And the freakiest thing happened when I was going to the bathroom. The shower starts to drip. Slowly at first, then at a rapid pace, and then slow again once I finish my business and leave.

It's a good movie otherwise. Jack Nicholson is good at playing crazy Jack.

~Rio

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!! 2012!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN ALL YOU FREAKS, GHOULS, AND GHOSTS OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dressed up as a kitty with ears and a bloody mouth and bloody hands with a collar (complete with bell) and leash *grins*

Took my little brother Trick-or-Treating tonight. He went as the ghost of Cousin It (Addams Family)

Here are some pictures!

 ^^ I had a most...unfortunate accident. 

Shameful, isn't it? 

^ I had a collar w/ bell and a leash, but took it off. 

Finally, me and the ghost of Cousin It! 

I hope all you Ghouls and Ghosts have a safe and fun Halloween!!!

~Rio

Hey!

Well, I've been in the baking mode for awhile now... Most people are surprised when I bake from scratch. They're like, "You can bake?!" and my reply is always, "It's no fun baking for yourself". My mom says, "You have a baking fetish". So I told her, "Hi, my name is Rio and I'm a baking addict" Going to Baker's anonymous.

God, don't they look gooooooooooooooooooood?!?!

My family loves to eat my baking, so I ALWAYS have to have a sign that says "No touching" in order for them to cool down or else they'd eat them hot! 

School is going good. Been going everyday. There's this one chick in my Myth and Folklore class who's hardly there or she comes late. She's in our group (Because she muscled her way in) and she's a slacker. I know that she sees me everyday in the cafeteria and she doesn't come up and say to me, "What do I need to do?" (We have this group project that's due December 5th) and it's worth a lot of points. It's fucking stupid how she doesn't ask. I will NOT allow her to get FULL CREDIT for something that she DID NOT DO. 

Well, more later. 

~Rio

Another blog? What's this?!

What's this? Another blog?! What the hell? lol
Nah, I'm procrastinating. It's Sunday, I think I'm allowed...right?
Woke up to people slamming doors. Which was completely unnecessary! Grr...
I can't wait until it snows. I'm super excited. I sleep better during the winter, too. Don't know why.
I love to watch it snowing... Sitting by my window with my steaming cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows, Christmas music playing softly in the background, the Christmas lights twinkling... The house smelling like hot apple cider and cinnamon... *Sighs* Nostalgia.

nos·tal·gia

  

noun

1.

a wistful desire to return in thought or in fact to a formertime in one's life, to one's home or homeland, or to one'sfamily and friends; a sentimental yearning for thehappiness of a former place or time:

Oh well. 

Did I tell you my cousin is an alcoholic? My grandmother called him yesterday and she said she, "Lost the argument . My grandmother NEVER loses an argument! I told mom, "She didn't lose. She just didn't wanna waste her breath on the stupid dumb ass" and mom told me, "He won't admit that he has a problem". His father (my uncle, who's dead), had the same problem. Like father likes son. Jesus. NOBODY will tell this fool off. Do I have to? I swear... It's pathetic! 

*sighs* Oh well. 

Enjoy your Sunday! 

~Rio

Keeper of the Stars

This is my mom's wedding song. 

God. First time I heard it, I cried. It's so...beautiful

She walked down the aisle with it and I didn't even cry! 

Ugh. Blargh. Urgh. Blegh. 

I get to do the same ol' shit every week, every day, every hour, every minute. We're all well oiled machines stuck on repeat. Only thing that really gets me through is texting/YMing my friend, Kat. I swear... I can tell her anything and I know that she won't go telling anybody. I can vent to her, I can cry... 

*sighs* I wish for winter. The snow, the chilly air... The way my glasses would fog up... How I could make snow men and snow angels...Having snowball fights... Christmas music, presents...Decorating... Fall and Winter are my two most favorite seasons ever. Could go without Spring and Summer, though. I HATE the hot weather. I do. I could go for somewhere cold. Maybe back to the Midwest or the East. I could go for a change of scenery. 

Oh well... What can you do? 

Later, ya'll!

<3

~Rio

"Shoot to Thrill"

Ever since I've seen Avengers, I can't stop watching it. Or, you know when Tony makes his entrance in Germany? The AC/DC song, "Shoot to Thrill", I can't stop listening to that, either! Damn catchy song...

Well, the uncle took out his AC out of my room, so it's not as cold anymore! Whoot!

This is the song. "Shoot to Thrill" 

In other news, my Philosophy essay has been moved to Wednesday, I have a paper for Mythology due on the 26th, I have a buttload of math homework due. I have a math test on the 10th. Ugh. Oh well. 

Later!

Good Lord. What can you say? ^

Blargh

Well, school is going along nicely. I get up at 6.13 AM, shower, eat breakfast, and then I sit around and do nothing until it's time to go. Lol. Nice, huh?
I woke up from my nap angry. I don't know why. My stomach's been hurting really bad over the past few days. *sighs*

Halloween is this month!!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:3
Cold front is moving closer! BRING ON THE SNOW! I'M READY!!!

Football

Okay. So I watched the Steeler's v Bronco's game last night.
STEELER'S LOST. 19 to 32
and then, MY PACKERS LOST TO THE 49ers! 0-10! What the fuck?!
*sighs*
Oh well

I realized that I haven't been posting for awhile. 14 more days until school starts. I've been staying in my room (per usual) and now it's CLEAN! (A miracle! lol!)

Mom and Kenny are getting married 9/22/12.

Fun. Lol. I guess.
I'm going to be standing by my mom and Skyler is going to be by Kenny. Nate is going to bring the rings. (Can he be trusted with them? lol)

Anyway, the weather is nice and cool with a nice, cold breeze. Just how I like it. My favorite seasons are Fall and Winter. I don't much care for Spring and Summer.

~Rio

Beethoven

"Fur Elise" 

"Moonlight Sonata" 

I think that Moonlight Sonata is my favorite Beethoven song. 

Going to be spending the weekend with a family friend. :) 

Skyler found me a TMNT sweater. Picture's soon to come. :) 

~Rio

Rant

Rant: I miss my friends. I'm tired of being their place mat. I'm tired of keeping my fucking mouth shut. A lot of you are probably going to say that I should just move out. With what? Get a job? How about I go to college and then transfer out? Seeing as they want me to fucking move out anyway. God dammit. I'm pissing myself off. Maybe I should just go for a walk to the park across the street. But it's dark time. I never leave the house after dark by myself. People are out to get you... Or something.

I'm tired of being bitched and nagged out. "Rio do this", "Rio do that", "Rio, can you...", "Rio, could you...", "Rio, do a better job" and on, and on, and ON!!!!! I thought about just walking away yesterday morning. I was up before everybody else and I seriously thought about it. Not like they'd notice I was gone anyway. Like they'd even fucking care. Fuck them. I wish they were dead.

You know, I bet if I were to die, they wouldn't even fucking care. They'd probably be like, "Oh. One less mouth to feed". Maybe I should take a bunch of sleeping pills and hope to God I don't wake up. I mean, seriously. What's in the future for me anyway? I'm constantly nagged at. I'm constantly bitched at. I'm constantly asked to do shit. It fucking pisses me off! I'm ONLY HUMAN FOR FUCKS SAKE!

I empty the dishwasher, I put fucking dishes INTO the dishwasher. I COOK dinner, I clear the table, I do laundry, I fold laundry, I wash counters. If something isn't done right, I get fucking bitched at. I feel fucking unloved. Like I was born for their convenience. Maybe I should change my name, grab whatever I need and just leave. Or maybe I should just kill myself. Nah, I like the other idea better. I feel like a damn housewife.

People keep telling me to move out. Maybe I should. /endrant

~Rio

Update

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Been kind of busy with shit here at home. Now, my problem's aren't as bad as Kat's, but still.

Been having issue's with my feelings for Skyler. He's still in love with his ex-girlfriend and whatever so I tell myself that I'm not going to have anything to do with him, but everytime I try, I keep talking and laughing and joking and teasing around with him. What's wrong with me? God dammit. He know's how I feel towards him and he acts like he doesn't even fucking care. He says he trusts me a lot.

Well... That's it for now.

~Rio

Uggggggggggggh! LOL

Ugggggggggggggggggggggggggh!

Fall textbooks come on sale Monday, August 13th. So mom and I are gonna go buy those. I already have my backpack and all my supplies that I need because I still have some left over and I'm re-using my pencil I used since... my first starting college.

Thinking about highlighting my hair orange and black for Halloween and red and green for Christmas! Hehe!

Ugh. Nothing more to report. Yet.

~Rio

Random

I cannot get this song stuck out of my fucking head.

So...addictive.

MOM'S MAKING TACOS!

~Rio

Brotherly Love

So... We got most of Kenny's shit in the moving van. We went to the old farm house and got some shit... Including a Jawa 375 bike (I think that's what it's called).
Anyway, here's a picture of what Skyler and Bubba look like. xD
(He didn't know I took the picture until I told him on the car ride home)

This is Skyler and Bubba. :) 

~Rio

Yo

Soooooo... I know I haven't really posted anything in awhile... I've been busy.

My mom's fiancee is moving in on Tuesday (That's right, boys and girls, THIS Tuesday) and the uncle isn't even moved out yet... Urgh. This is going to be interesting.

I'm not going to Hermiston to help them. I need to stay at home and clean my room. I have a list a mile long and I've been stressed out.

I was talking with my friend on Yahoo Messenger last night and she kept telling me and telling me that she was tired and she wanted to go to bed, but we kept talking anyway... She went all feral on my ass and in some ways, I deserved it... I get bored and I get lonely. You can only talk with your stuffed animals so many times... lol. Anyway...

Maybe I'm the one who needs a reality check? Nah... My view of reality is just fine. I've had to hold back my comments and not argue back (Anybody who knows me, knows that I have NO filter), but lately... I've had to use my filter and I'm fucking tired of it! If I'm going to tell the truth, I'm going to tell it. Whether you wanna hear it or not.

But my one friend is dying of cancer and they can't do anything about it... So whenever I have problems, I always think of him because my problems are non-existent.

I've been journalling a hella lot lately... Writing stories, poems, etc. But I enjoy blogging too. Do I get comments? Fuck no... lol. Which is fine because I don't blog for other people's amusement. I blog because I enjoy doing it. Fuck who reads it.

~Rio

Updates

Well, turns out, after taking the WHOLE summer off (Ha. I didn't even have to go to Minnesota. I got to sleep all I wanted and do NOTHING!)-- I'm going back to school in the Fall. :D

Anyway... My mom's engaged now. Weird. I know.

I'm going to help some friends clean out this hoarder's house... I've never been in a hoarder's house before, so this will be my first time!

It's been soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo HOT outside.

~Rio

Cooking lesson!

Well, tonight boys and girls, it's bath night!
I don't usually take baths because I get bad bladder infections.
Having some people over and having a BBQ!
Oh. I'm not at home xD

This is what I'm making!

http://www.food.com/recipe/yummy-snicker-apple-salad-225575

It's going to be gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood! <3
I'm making it with snicker's (Obviously), but you can make it with regular milky ways. You have to FREEZE the candy bars (It may be harder to chop them, but you'll be grateful that they're frozen so you don't have to deal with the caramel on the knife and creating a mess). I'm doubling the recipe so here's how it goes:

Ingredients (If doubling your recipe):

~ 15 snicker or milky ways
~ 8 apples (One delicious, 7 granny smith)
~ Two things of whipped cream
~ 2 packages of FRENCH vanilla instant pudding
~ Large mixing bowl
~ Wooden mixing spoon
~Whisk (Metal or plastic)

Directions:

First: Mix your instant pudding. Once it's thick, add in the whipped cream. (You follow the directions on the instant pudding. If it says two minutes (for one package), then double it to about... 4 minutes or until thick.)

Second: Peel your apples (Leave one unpeeled (That'd be the delicious)), chop them into bite size pieces (Not large, but not small, doesn't matter if they're even or not).

Third: On your chopping board, chop snicker or milky way bars (they may be harder to chop, but you'll be grateful they are).

Fourth: Add your apples and chopped snickers or milky way bars.

Fifth: Stir all the ingredients together

Sixth: Chill for 5 to 15 minutes and serve!!!

There's your cooking lesson!

I've been addicted to this one song for awhile now.

I think I already posted this already. But deal with it! :D

It's hot as balls inside my room. Dx

Blargh

RIP Andy Griffith.


Been a pretty boring night. Everybody hates mom's new boyfriend. The uncle thinks that they should keep it "Friendly" or whatever he said. The uncle might have found a place to live! It's a 50+ community. :)

He gets out and I have to stay in hell. I told my mom, I said:

Rio: Once I finish my semester, I'm gone.
Mom: Fine.
Rio: I'm leaving the state and transferring to somewhere else.
Mom: Fine.

Sleepless in Walla Walla

Uggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My internal body clock is all fucked up. I just...woke up out of the blue and it's only 3am. :/
Maybe I'll catch the sunrise this morning. Make some coffee, shower, and fold some laundry.

Anyway... Mom's getting married....That's just fucking weird. Her boyfriend and his 6 year old are moving in here and Tom is moving out. I'm staying. I'm going to school and I'm going to go find a job and shit. *sighs*

So I've been sorting and going through shit. Meh.

I've lost weight!! I was at 280, but now I'm at 277. I'm so proud of myself.

Mom seems to think my stomach is shrinking. I was lifting and moving stuff around the last few weekends and now when I'm hungry, I'll only take a few bites before I'm full. Which sucks because I love food, but I just can't eat it as much anymore. :'(

Her boyfriend and kid are coming tomorrow and might stay the weekend or something. I'll just stay in my room like I have been doing.

Ugh.

Lack of sleep + hyper Rio = A "I'm-hyper-but-I'm-really-bitchy-if-you-piss-me-off-and-I'm-more-easily-annoyed" Rio D.

Sigh. Oh well. Maybe it's time for a hair cut.

Blog Neglagance

I am sooooooooooooo sorry! I've been like...SUPER busy lately!
*sighs*
I don't know where to begin... Though...Usually the beginning is a nice place to start.

My friend offered me to live with her and her husband (Also a friend of mine), and their daughter in Beaverton, Oregon. I'd go to school in PCC (Portland Community College). I wanna get into Columbia University. (New York).

Vacation

So I'm staying the night at my mom's friend's house (though, I guess she's my friend also) and she has this dog named Sheila. She's a mix between a lab and a golden retriever. She's the sweetest dog. I got to her house today and she was whimpering and she was all up in my grill, which is okay. :)
Mom never got me a dog, so I guess Sheila is the replacement for whenever I see her. :D
She also has two cats: Bobcat Bob and George. I miss my Angel :/

I haven't really been home or blogging much, but I guess I should tell you that I flunked out of college. (fun). So now I might take a job at UPS doing the night shift. (Moving boxes around, I think). It isn't so bad. I could just go in the Fall and shit.

Well...I guess that's it. I'll write more when I get home!

Summer

So, if anybody knows me (or reads my blogs), then you know that I keep telling (or ranting) that no women should lean on a guy, or wait for him, etc, etc. Well, I really like this guy, but he has some "Concerns associating with me because he's stuck on getting back together with his ex-girlfriend". What the fuck does that mean? Sigh. 

My Summer Goals:

~ Make it through Summer classes

~ Lose weight (Starting a new diet soon)

~ Make no time for self

~ Always keep busy*

*Always keep busy. If something's weighing on my mind and I don't wanna think about it, I make sure I have plenty to do so I DON'T think about it. Even if it causes stress down the line later. I don't care. 

Maybe I'll cut my hair this Summer and color it... Who knows... Thoughts? (Maybe I'll do that after I lose weight). 

More later,

Vacation Blog Entry 2

Yo!

I hung out with my best friends last night. My mom's friend came down with his son and step son. I'll admit; the step-son is really cute. Anyway. It was my friend, me, and him. He (who does have a name. Let's call him...Ski) drove us to her place and we all hung out with my friend's husband. Lyzz and Vox crashed around... 12:45am, so me and Ski drove around until 2 or 3 in the morning. Did you know that the street's are empty at those times? Which means only THREE things are open. a 7-11, Jack in the box, and Wal-Mart. Sigh.

So I have a crush on Ski. I do. Once we got back to the hotel, I asked, "Do you have a girl waiting for you back home?" he said, "I'm trying to make things work out with my ex-girlfriend" I asked him what was wrong and he told me. We walked into the hotel and to the room I was staying in. I knocked on the door and my mom answered, but shut the door. I turned to him and I said, "Well, if things don't work out, I'll be here. Hit me up" and he said, "Yeah, I will" (*Part of me is hoping that it DOESN'T work out with him and his ex because I wanna be with him, but on the other hand, I hope it does, because he deserves to be happy--even if it isn't with me. *Sighs**)

So we got back to the hotel and we hung out for a little while longer and then we both went to our rooms and went to sleep.

TODAY! 

I got up around...8:45am. I thought that they already left, so I threw off the covers, jammed my shoes on my feet and let the room--only to discover that they were still sleeping. Lol. So I went back to my room, showered, woke up some more, and packed up all my crap. Mom and I went over to Ken's room and woke him up. Told him that breakfast ended at 9.30 (But the lady was nice enough to keep it open for 10 more minutes) and we went back to his room and woke the boys up. Ski was harder to wake up, but he woke for "Biscuits and Gravy"

I walked over to the Chevron station across the street and got me a Monster and Ski a Red Bull. Walked back to the hotel, sat next to Ski and said, "Here. Have a morning present". He kind of had a confused look on his face, but laughed and smiled when he saw the Red Bull. (*See, I'm a nice friend :) *)

He finishes breakfast and he goes and has a cigarette, so I join him and we started talking and I think I said something about not seeing each other for awhile and he said, "We'll be seeing more of each other once our parents get together"

FAST FORWARD TO ME AND MOM LEAVING

So mom and I were getting ready to leave, so we were saying our goodbye's and whatever, I was walking with Ski and mom just motioned me the other way. Ski and I stopped and I told him I'd see him around. He hugged me and told me to have fun and a safe trip. I hugged him back. (*I'll admit. I loved being hugged by him. And this is coming from a person who doesn't like to be touched or hugged. But for him, I'll make an exception :) *)

So I gave him my number and my Facebook stuff. I told him that there were Auction's that happened every other weekend (*I think*) in Hermiston and I told him that I usually go and he sounded interested. So once me and mom left, I texted him and told him that my mom's friend is having a yard sale this weekend and that I'll be there Friday night and asked if he wanted to chill and hang out. He replied back to tell him when or where it is and he'll see if he can go. So I told him the address. I'm thinking of texting him tomorrow and asking if he wanted to meet and G&J's (*My mom's friend and her hubby own the place. It's a burger joint*) on maybe...Friday or something. Maybe mom could drop me off at Ken's apartment or something... So that we could hang out there.

I really wanna tell him that I like him and stuff. But, I told him that I was available and to hit me up if it didn't work out with his ex. He sounded interested.

Once Ski and I left Lyzz and Vox's place last night, I figured that he'd just drive us back to the hotel and that was that. He got hungry and we drove around to find a place for him to eat. Jack in the box. Once he did that and got another Red Bull, we just drove around and talked about stuff. The atmosphere was very comfortable. (*I dunno... To me, it seemed...natural, I guess*) He lives in Bend, OR (*Where I was going to go to college in the first place...lol*) and I live in W^2, WA. He's not leaving until July to go back to school and such.

Mom and I arrived at Seaside at 3:20pm... I realized that after shopping and coming back to the hotel room, there's NOTHING TO DO. I am SO. FUCKING. BORED. I had such a good time last night, that now... Pfft... I dunno... *sighs*. I wanna hang out with Ski some more. It's nice to hang out with someone near my own age (*He's in his 20's*).

I'll stop talking about Ski and whatever's.

I'm sitting in my hotel room and I realize that I. Didn't. Pack. The. Ramen.
Did you just read that?
I. Didn't. Pack. The. Ramen
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME?!
Plus, no vending machine's that the hotel (*None that I've seen*)
Damn. Foiled again

A tale as old as time/ True as it can be/ Barely even friends/ Then somebody bends unsuspectingly/ Just a little change/ Slow to say the least/ Both a little scared/ Neither on prepared/ Beauty and the Beast. 


Meh. Figured I'd start off this blog with a Disney song.
Last day for actual classes is tomorrow.
Then it's finals.
I hope the week goes by fast.
I can't wait until Friday.

RIO IS GOING ON VACATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course, she'll have her camera. :)
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand her lappy!! :D

Depressed/Rant

Maybe it's because I'm tired.... I don't know. Maybe it's because finals are coming up... I don't know. But I'm starting to get depressed and I don't know why. I've been listening to Eminem's "Beautiful".

I write in my journal and I write in my blog, but I need a person to talk too. The problem is... Nobody wants to talk to me back. Where are my "friends" when I need them the most? Where are they when I need to talk to them? I help them with their problems and this is how they thank me? By not being there for me? That's utter bullshit.

I'll just deal with it on my own-- Just like I always have.

My shoulders have been bothering me some today... I've been studying for hours for my math final (Teacher gave us a practice final).

Monday= Last day for classes
Tuesday= Sociology Final
Wednesday= Math Final
Thursday= Psych Final
Friday= Vacation

I get a week off and then on 6/18/12 June is when Summer Quarter starts. I get to go to school the ENTIRE fucking summer. Whoo-fucking-hoo.

This fucking sucks. I'm constantly searching for a quiet spot, but everybody seems to come bother me. I just want to be left alone by my mom. But she always has to come fucking talk to me and tell me shit that I DON'T FUCKING CARE ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God, I can't wait to get the fuck out of here. At least I believe in myself-- fuck everybody else.
Go to hell, you haters.
