Well, I've got another whiny journal for you guys. My mother's mother passed away in February, and now my other grandmother is going to pass soon. She's losing her battle with the breast cancer that has matasticized to her liver. She called us tonight to give us the news. Honestly, these last two years have been crap. I need all the prayers I can get right now for my family. Thank you.

Oy veh. Okay, best to start from the beginning...okay. Back in May we discovered that my Grammy (on my dad's side) had breast cancer, and she is currently undergoing chemo. Then, about a month and a half ago, my mom went in for a colonoscopy, and we found out that my mom has colon cancer, and she did her first chemo treatment last Wednesday. There's a 40% chance that she may die. I don't know what the stats are for my Grammy, but they're probably not good because she's 78 years old. Because of Mom's chemo, I have been put in charge of the house in cleaning, laundry, cooking, running everybody to their camps, taking care of little sister, and dressing/bathing my older sister who has cerebral palsey and a rather large and annoying grudge against me. In addition to all this, when school starts up again I will be taking 3 AP courses, plus studying for the Academic Decathlon. Then I'm also on the Teen Bible Quiz team at the church I go to on Wednesday nights, where we have to learn a chapter a week. I'm sorry if I sound whiney, but if you guys could pray for me and my family, I'd really appreciate it. I'm sorry, but I don't think I'll have enough time for my art/stories, I've got a full enough plate as it is. Thank you.

"Who am I? To answer that would be like walking out into the woods and flogging myself with a very large fish...possibly a herring. The question you have to ask is What am I? I don't know the answer to that either so I'll try my best at answering the first question which was 'What is the meaning of life?' Not the first question which would entail a list of what I do, why do I do it and why haven't I been caught yet, but the meaning of life is an obviously much more simple question that can be answered with a simple word. Afilmbymontypython. Admittedly it is just a bunch of words put together, but I'm sure no-one will notice and will obviously think it is some kind of disease or plague, thus curing my problem. However it probablly couldn't cure my mental problem...or the fact that I really do spout a complete load of cheese when I really want to." A found this somewhere,and I thought it described completely, thus I posted it. Unfortunate'y, I don't remember the source...
