My family recently moved into a new house, and we had to do a lot of downsizing. We threw out and donated a bunch of things that we didn't need, packed things that I had never seen before (seriously, there's an Easter platter that I had never seen before in my life). Some of the things that we had planned to get rid of were video games.
My brothers and I aren't very good about playing our video games on a daily basis. We have a Wii and a Playstation 3 that we barely ever used until a few days ago, so I decided to get rid of a few games that we didn't play. They were mostly Wii games that we had beat or that we just got bored of and a few Playstation 3 games that my brother hadn't touched in years. Games like Avatar: The Last Airbender, Madagascar 2: Escape to Africa, and Guitar Hero, a game that my family hadn't played in years. Literally. Years. We play that game, like, once a year.
My friend and I went to GameStop the day before yesterday to give them away. I got 15.00 bucks for the lot, which (if you've ever tried to sell games at GameStop) is a lot. Trust me. However when I got home with 15 dollars in my pocket and gameless my brothers asked me where the games were, specifically Guitar Hero...
I don't normally do stupid things, but when I do they come back to bite me in the butt. It would be just my luck that the day I finally get rid of these games that we literally. never. play. would be the day that everyone wanted to play them. Now, I'm the butt of an on going joke in my house. Every time someone asks me for something my dad (being the snark master himself) has to say, "She probably sold it."
Anyway, I'm going out today to buy it back from the guys at GameStop so my brothers can play it. They're probably going to laugh in my face... or something equally as terrible... like laugh when I leave...
In completely unrelated news, Fall Out Boy is back... I know, I know. I'm a little late to that party, but I've been listening to their new album Save Rock and Roll for a good month. Apparently they released it in February... around the time I was in the hospital, but I only found out about it last month. Also, Camp NaNo is starting again this July. Two more days and I'm going try and probably fail (again) to write a novel in a month...
Wish me luck!

Moving on and Staying Behind
Summer is here and I've realized just how badly I've neglected this blog. It's pretty sad.
Not much has happened since I last posted. My friends have all graduated and a new school year is looming over my head. I went to my friend's graduation party yesterday, where my symptoms started acting up. Turns out, tomatoes are a big no-no, but to be honest most things are.
I haven't been on top of my medication so when I go out to eat it takes a toll. I got lucky, I can eat a few things and it's only some that are off limits. I can't eat nuts or any greens. Tomatoes (whole tomatoes, not the sauce, people always get confused about this) and apples hurt depending on how I'm feeling. It's really a coin toss when it comes to some foods. My symptoms are tied to stress, and if I'm freaking out or if I'm under pressure I'll start hurting. It's really strange. I've switch doctors and I have another colonoscopy coming up to see if everything is all right.
Another school year is coming up and it's scary just how fast it's coming. I got sick halfway through the first semester and I had to dropout and re-enroll for the 2014 school year so I have to take my senior year all over again.
All my friends are moving on and going off to college while I'm still stuck in high school. My appointment with my principle is in a few weeks so I'll get my schedule squared out and sign up for my online classes. I plan on taking mostly electives, and getting my math and science credits out of the way over the summer. Since stress is something that I need to avoid, my schedule wont be that big or rigorous. I'll be able to start school later and have lunch off campus.
Two AP classes are my limit and they'll be Psych and Lit with two art electives in between, like Ceramics or Drawing and Painting. No Encore this year, but I might take a drama class like Acting or Improve to stay in touch with my old drama friends and take Creative Writing 2 in the second semester.
I'm sort of excited, but kind of not. On one hand I'll be getting a new car and a whole new wardrobe for this year, but on the other my friends are all gone. I mean, I have friends in the Junior class but it just wont be the same you know?
