Here's my weekly update. Things are going well for Tyler. He started school on Wed. He likes it so far. Misses mom, but he's doing well. I'm starting to be less stressed out. Tyler is really a joy to have around....when he's not whinning about what time he has to go to bed/wake up in the morning.
I ended up going out to eat with Jamie Wed night. It was really nice. Went to Anna's, and then to The Thirsty Scholar for a drink. It was really good to see him. Kind of odd just going out as friends, especially when I would give anything to be back with him. Damnit, I love him so much. Oh well. I just need to continue to be a friend to him, and maybe someday we'll be together again.
Went to Santapios on Thursday with Tyler and Mike P. Had the best friggin pizza I've EVER had. I pigged out and had 5 slices, Tyler had 5, and Mike had 6. Soo great.
Last night headed to Lowell to hang out with the gang. Played some beer pong, and listened to lots of classic rock. Rob ended up stopping by. Had a great time. I love my friends.
Anyways, time to get Tyler to finish his homework.
~Peace

Okay, so as you all know from my last post, I have custody of my 9 yr old brother. Things are going extremely well with that. I mean, he misses mom and all, but I somehow get the feeling, that he doesn't want to go back. He knows that he's safe with me. I am trying to get him into school right now, which has been difficult, since he has a special education plan, and saugus schools are taking their sweet time 'analyzing it'. No...he's not retarded. My mom has just been so negligent of every aspect of his life, that he hasn't been able to thrive academically. I've been making him read, and doing sight word flash cards with him everyday, and he's definitely making progress.
On another good note, I got my schedule change, so I will now be working 9:30am-6pm (once tyler is in school). I'm so excited, because I wanted to get off nights even before I got temp custody.
Anyways, the hearing for full custody is on January 31st. I'm really nervous about this. I've decided that since Tyler is thriving, and doing so well with me, it would be cruel to put him back into a unstable home enviroment. So, I am going full steam ahead, and going for full custody. I have all of my mom's criminal records, and all of the DSS records. A police officer, and a DSS worker are going to be coming with me to court, to testify about my mom. I'm hoping that all of this will prompt the judge to give me full custody, or atleast extend the temp custody. Whatever the case....wish me luck, because I'm going to need it.
Hope you all had a Happy New Year, I know I did. (seriously)

It all started on Christmas Eve. I had gone to my mother's in NH, to bring over the $400 worth or presents I had bought my 9 year old brother for Christmas. I was sleeping over, and as I was getting ready for bed, I found a hypodermic needle on the floor under a blanket. I confronted my mom about this, and she claimed it was a friends. Less than 20 minutes later, I was getting an extra blanket out from the chest, and a CRACK PIPE fell out. So a matter of 20 minutes, I find a hypodermic needle, and a crack pipe. Then next morning, I took my mom to the convenience store so that I could pick up some bacon and eggs...and she tried to steal beer. WHO THE FUCK STEALS BEER AT 8a.m!?!?!? My mom. That's who. Well I called The Department of Children, Youth, and Families, and I now have temp custody.
So, I just spent my day at court, getting temporary custody of my little brother, because my mom is a screw up. He is now with me for the next month. On January 31st there will be a hearing, as to whether or not I will retain custody, or he will go back with my mom. I think I'm going to propose that my mom can have him back as long as she submits to 2 random drug tests a week, and goes to mandatory meetings. I don't know if that's a good idea. I don't know WHAT to do right now. All I know, is that I'm very unprepared to be a single parent....which is what I have become. Saying that I'm stressed is an understatement. Someone come visit me. =(
By the way...I LOVE my little bro. And I would take full custody if it came to it. Just stressed.

You know what really sucks???? Realizing that you're still in love with the boyfriend that you broke up with 6 months ago. I broke up with him, because I was going thru alot of shit, with my grandmother being sick, and my mom relapsing over and over. At this point, I wish I could go back, and handle things differently. I miss him more than anything. These past few weeks, I haven't been able to stop thinking about him. I guess I should suck it up, and get over it....seeing as I am the one who broke things off. I just need to come to grips with the fact, that he probably will never want to be with me again, and learn from the mistake. I just wish it were that easy.....

I had completely forgotten how much I despise working Saturdays at Comcast. Well, now I remember, and there's nothing I can do about it. I have a hard time understanding how people can be calling here on their day off, when its so freaking beautiful outside. I would love to be out of here right now. Oh well. More money in my pocket. Besides, I might be leaving somewhat soon for Oregon. Had my second interview, and they're going to contact me on Monday if they're going to give a job offer. So wish me luck. If I get the job offer, I will likely be leaving in about 2 weeks. So I'll have to have everyone get together for a going away party.
Well, enjoy this beautiful Saturday everyone.
~Peace

This is me at work, after 7 days straight. Can't really complain, because I asked for the overtime. But why the hell is it so fucking busy at 10:49 in the morning on SATURDAY!?!? If I was at home right now, I'll tell you..I would NOT be watching fucking tv. Goddamnit people. Its Saturday, and its somewhat nice out. Go out. Get out of the house, and stop wasting my time, when all you have to do is put the goddamn tv on channel 3.
Why are people soooo stupid???!?
This has been a public service announcement from Sarah.
Thanx

It's official. I'm moving to the west coast. Portland, Oregon to be exact. I'm so excited about it. I was looking on Craig's List, and apartments are sooo cheap out there. I can afford to live by myself. Plus, its absolutely gorgeous out there. I can't wait to see the redwood trees, and Mt.Hood. I can't wait. I wish I was moving now. But, I have time to save $$. The only thing I'm not exactly looking forward to is the drive. I'll probably be doing it by myself. Won't be too bad I guess. Lindsey is moving there with Ryan, so I'll know people. And Ryan said that he would introduce me to people. Sooo looking forward. Things are starting to look up. I've told my dad, but not the rest of my family. I'll probably tell them the week before I go, so they can't try to talk me out of it.
Anyways, time for work.
~Peace

I am so incredibly sick of MA. I hate it here. I need a new state. The only thing holding me back is my car payments. I don't want to move out of state, and be 'just getting by'. I'm just going to focus on paying off my car, then I'm out of here. The west coast is sounding really nice right now.

Sky-diving was AMAZING! I was the last one to jump, so I was scared shitless. When I got to the door, I was having second thoughts, but the person I was jumping with, didn't give me much time to change my mind. I crossed my arms, tilted my head back, kicked back, and jumped. We free falled for about 10,000ft. It had to have been one of the most awesome experiences of my life. When the parachute opened, and we were just floating down, it was amazing. I can't wait to go again. I'm planning on getting A certified. It costs about $2,400, but it would be totally worth it. Especially since I plan on jumping as much as possible. Once your certified, its alot cheaper. Oh my god, it was just soooo amazing. It was better than the best sex I've ever had. Better than any drug. God, why even bother with weed, or shrooms or whatever when you can have a rush like that. I would LOVE to do that for a living. Firstly, I can't imagine jumping out of a plane getting old. Secondly, if I had to die, I would want to go out like that. I am definitely going to look into it. In one day, they turned me into an adrenaline junkie.
Step one: Get certified.
Next: Base jumping.
Fuck yeah.
By the way, if you haven't realized, I'm now addicted to sky diving. It costs about $200 to go. If anyone is interested in going sometime in the near future, let me know. I will go. So please, let me know. You won't regret it.

So, this past weekend was really good. Went up to Laconia for the last few days of MotorCycle Weekend. Had lots of fun with Lindsey and Robin. Today, I finally purchased an ipod. Sooo excited. I just know I'm going to be up all night downloading music to it. Sooo happy.
I don't have any plans for this weekend yet. I am hoping that I'll be hanging out with Micaela, Matt, and Ray if they aren't doing anything. If its hot, I really want to go to a lake, or to the ocean. I wish I wasn't working today, because it seems like the perfect day for the beach. Oh well. Thems the brakes.
Well, that was a crappy update. Maybe I'll do more later.

Saturday night was soooo great. Got to hang out with Micaela, Matt, and Ray. We drank alot, and played kareoke ondemand. I had more fun than I've had in a longggg time. I was so happy to see them. Definitely going to make sure that I go back up next weekend.
Yeah, so the 27th is Micaela's birthday, I believe Matt's is the 29th or 30th or something. So I think that we should have big bash for them. I'm thinking the Dubliner, or some place in that area. Ideas anyone? . Let me know if you are going, so we can decide what's going down.

"South Park" Censored
by Joal Ryan
Apr 13, 2006, 3:15 PM PT
There was something missing in Wednesday night's South Park--as a title card explained: "Comedy Central has refused to broadcast an image of Mohammed on their network."
It was not a joke.
a d v e r t i s e m e n t
The scene depicting the Islamic prophet handing a football helmet to a character from Family Guy (at least that's how another of the show's title cards put it) really was nixed by Comedy Central.
A source close to the show said safety concerns were behind the move. Earlier this year, the Danish publication of newspaper cartoons about Mohammed sparked deadly rioting throughout the world. Any rendering of the prophet is considered insulting by Muslims.
"In light of recent events, we feel we made the right decision," Comedy Central said in a statement Thursday.
There was no public response from series creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
Wednesday's South Park, "Cartoon Wars, Part 2," was the concluding half of a story arc in which Family Guy, yes, the Fox animated series, causes international consternation when, in a familiar-sounding turn of events, it depicts Mohammed. (The story line is better understood if one accepts that, as The South Park Scriptorium explained, "Family Guy=South Park.")
In the South Park version of things, Family Guy makes it to air with the controversial scene, prompting an animated response (literally) from al Qaeda involving Jesus, President Bush, the U.S. flag and bowel movements.
In an interview with the Associated Press, William Donohue of the conservative Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights attacked Parker and Stone, but not Comedy Central, for the Jesus bit making air. Of the show's creators, Donohue said, "[They're] like little whores...They'll sit there and they'll whine and they'll take their shot at Jesus."
South Park has been winning friends of late with its religious-themed episodes. Last year, Comedy Central ran, but later declined to rerun the episode "Bloody Mary" after Donohue's group took umbrage with a menstruating Virgin Mary statue. Last month, Isaac Hayes turned in his Chef's hat, saying the show's satire had gone too far. His departure was seen as a belated response to "Trapped in the Closet," a 2005 episode that focused on Scientology, Hayes' religion. Comedy Central pulled a rerun of that episode, too.
An avowed equal opportunity offender, South Park previously depicted Mohammed to little public outcry. In that case, timing might have been everything. The episode, "Super Best Friends," debuted in July 2001, or two months before the arrival of the post-9-11 world.

Saves the Day was AMAZING. One of the best shows I've been to in a while. I'm now in the process of downloading Can't Slow Down, because I miss that album. Ahhh, I had such a wonderful time just dancing. So great. I don't think I've gone crazy at a show like that in ages. Going to see Bayside on Wedensday, probably by myself. I was supposed to be going with Ray, but he's become completely elusive, and doesn't like hanging out with me anymore LOL. Well, Bayside is going to totally rock, can't wait for that show, even tho I'm sure there won't be any of the dancing that there was at STD. Ahhh it was just so good. You know when you wake up the next morning with every inch of your body aching, that you went to a good show the night before.
Anyways, this week is going to be good. I'm determined, not to have a shitty week at work.

Yeah, so I got a migrane half way thru work last night, and COMPLETELY forgot about singing sands, until I woke up. WTF!!?! It was really busy, and Iwas sooo mad, that I just went home, and went to bed. Woke up this morning, and checked livejournal, and saw that I was supposed to do that. To all of you who went, I am so sorry. We will hang out soon.
Micaeala!! I will see you today!!! =)
In other news, the the Sox are playing today @ 1:05. Ahhhh, this is what gets me thru the winter. I wish I could go to the game against NYY on May24th. Oh well, I'll just go to some sports bar, and get drunk, watching the sox for my birthday. Yeah, sounds like a plan. So, all of you. Take off May24th, because you are getting drunk, and watching baseball with me.
~Peace
