This school year is coming to a close. Exams are this week. Then we're seniors. Amazingly enough, this has just hit me. And hit it did. Hard.
This summer I'll end up getting my license and a job. Dunno where yet, since most places I want to work (damn you, Books-A-Million...) won't let me work there until I'm 18. Best Buy or Sakura's seem to be the current ideas, but that could change. Driving's not hard or anything, I just don't want to do it. I guess you could just say I don't want things to change...
Over the summer, there'll be days when I stay at home and do nothing, days I go to grandma's to get the heck bugged out of me by Mikie (one of my numerous cousins), and some when I work (depending on the job, I may or may not like this part). At least I'll have money for the rising cost of gasoline and to do things with. Joy.
There is one thing that might make this summer much better. We're moving. Mum and Dad have a list of houses, most of which are in the Ashbrook and Forestview areas (both of which I plan to never attend. Huss all the way!). Most of them are nice, but there are some that are just horrible or too far. One was out in Mount Holly. That's farther away from civilization than we are now! I'll try to steer them in the right path, though. That's gonna be hard...
So that's my summer in a nutshell. Sounds great, eh? Anyway, all of you guys need to keep in touch. As my psychologist has pointed out, I have a bit of depression and loneliness from being alone in the middle of nowhere... But we're trying to fix that problem.
For the summer,
-Blaze (Patrick)
P.S. If you guys have any suggestions on vehicles, places to move to, jobs, etc., I'm more than open to them. I'll make sure they get directed to the proper section of my brain for processing.

Prom!
Prom was last Saturday, and it was awesome to say the least.
I got ready and headed off for all the grandparents' houses to let them see me in my tux at around 2. Mum's mum was really excited and did something really out of character. She gave Dad a kiss on the cheek. That was definitely something that made the day great, not to mention all the stuff to come. Dad's dad thought I looked nice, and his mum started crying. Kinda sad, but I know it was tears of joy. Even if she did keep bawling long after we left...
At that point, it was about time for us to get Ann. Or so we thought... Get there and it turned out she had thought she was just going over to David's (the meeting place) and then Dad would be chaperoning. That wasn't what I had thought, but whatever. I handed over the corsage to her mother and we wandered around while Ann got ready.
Breathtaking. Probably the only word I could use to describe her. Even though it wasn't a dress, it was close enough. She was extremely beautiful. I strapped the corsage on her wrist and she pinned the boutonnière on my lapel. It was one of those moments, y'know?
We all met at David's, took a little while longer to wait on David's date, Paige, and then headed for the River Rat. The food was great, I had a filet mignon (FI-LAY MIN-YON Happy with my pronunciation now???) and Ann had a cheeseburger. Told her to get a steak (she wanted one, I could tell), but she didn't. And while eating the appetizer of chicken, an incident, that to protect the victim the details shall remain secret, happened. But enough of events that I swore not to speak of again.
We arrived at prom a little late, but they still let us in. The music was really nothing but rap, and since Ann wasn't too keen on dancing, we didn't. Say what you want, but dancing isn't all that prom is about. Its a night to spend with the one you love and any friends who are too annoyed by your happiness to bug you to dance. We had pictures taken, and while we haven't gotten them back yet, I'm sure they turned out great.
The after party was even better than the actual prom. It had good music, popcorn, and Ann and I actually danced there. Would have been longer if Kati hadn't been changing the good music to that country crap. Ruined the moment, but whatever.
The pictures taken with Dad's evil camera may be found here.

Something That Makes Me Wonder
Sorry I posted twice in one day, but this just had to get a post. If you want to see my other post for the day, just scroll down a little.
Ann had a Sharpie marker today. This essentially means she went wild with it and I got a dot on my forehead and a mark on each arm. So on the way home Mum sees the shiny silver marks on my pale skin. Then the flames of hell broke loose...
Mum apparently didn't like the fact that I was marked up. And then she had to bring up the fact that Ann has a tendency to be a little on the physical side when I make bad jokes or some such. She kept trying to make the point that she didn't want me ending up in an abusive relationship. Did she stop with Ann, though? No, she had to continue. She recanted that David also has a tendency (and more like a sadistic need, I'll agree with her on this) to cause me harm to the head. And the list just keeps going on (with David, she didn't have anything else to say about Ann. Which is good, because I was getting rather ticked off with her)...
I want you guys to know that while I don't especially enjoy the horrible and brutal beatings I receive at your cruel hands (dramatization), I know its all in friendly pestering or some such. It is right? (Another joke! Maybe I should stop the joking...) Now to get her to think so... But, yeah. If you're asked anything about your brutality towards me, just nod and go along with it and tell her you give me daily beatings to make sure I know my place or something to humour her. Letting you guys know in advance.
This recent incident proves my fears. I'm almost 99.8% sure there is something up with my mother's mental state. Not as bad as what you would see on a TV talk show, but bad enough to drive me and others around her nuts. Or maybe she just does this stuff on purpose, I don't know. Whatever the case, its irritating.
I hate posts like this! They're not my style. I tried to get rid of one with a post about just regular stuff, but the fates must be against me or something. But what can you do? Life sometimes gives you E. Bola mixed in with your manna from heaven... OH! I like that line!

A Post for Posting's Sake
I really hate my last post, so in order to remedy it staring me in the face every time I check my blog and to update, here goes!
Recently I've taken two of the AP tests that I signed up for. There's still the last one, English, left to take. If its as easy as the last two, Biology and History, then I think I'll ace it. We were told not to discuss anything about the test (like anyone cares), so I'll just leave it at that for now.
Also, prom's looming on the horizon. Its this Saturday. I can't wait! Its gonna be great, but the music's gonna be horrible. But at least I'll have Ann and my friends there. ^_^ Actually, that reminds me of something I need to do...
I think that's all there is for now, so I'll leave it at this. Until next time!
Oh! One last thing. I recently found an extremely hilarious animation that parodies the Hansel & Gretel story. They want to take over the world. The link to it is here, if anyone wants to see it. Now I've said it all.
