Where have I run off to this time?

At the moment, everyone but me are in the swimming pool outside. Mom, Dad, Hay, and Jessica. I wish I could join them, but due to certain reasons I will not be able to swim for the rest of this week. Must I clarify?

I guess I'm not really cut out for blogging, eh? I hardly ever update anymore! And a lot has happened and a lot has been going on. For the most part, things are getting better.
Thanks to being stubborn and never giving up, I found out that I am not hated by some old friends. I have to tell you...I feel so much better now. It's like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I can breathe again!
On a more mellow note...a dear friend of mine died some time ago. He was like a brother to me and I loved him to death. I still do love him. Always will.

Yesterday morning and this morning I helped Dad with his classroom since school is starting back up again. Are you all ready for another year? I also got to know Mrs. Dayap better. ♥ Afterwards, Dad and I went to the recycling center and came home with about $50. Not bad.
Mom made an AWESOME dinner. Broccoli and cheese soup with sourdough bread (Though I really don't care for sourdough. I think it's a lie.) and a small glass of fruit that included black berries and peaches. MmMM!

I've been researching some modeling agencies and such also. Modeling is inspirational to me and I think it would be fun. I figured out that becoming an artist for pay might be something I'll reconsider in the future. Maybe.

After the circumstances at my old public high school, drawing just wasn't the same. Then I started to stray from it and only drew every now and then. It wasn't as rewarding as it used to be.
Then I figured out that I sometimes had drawn for the praise of my family and friends because it made me feel good and kept me going. I do not want that. I want to draw for the pure pleasure of it. It makes me happy; I don't want to make it something that I am forcing myself to do. I used to just have fun drawing until that certain point in my school life.
I will ALWAYS love to draw, though. ♥
