Slacker

Sorry I haven't been posting. I have a lot of trouble keeping up with things. I know there aren't very many viewers, but I probably should be keeping up more. Not much has been going on. And I haven't really come up with any stories I wanna tell. Kelly's parents are here from California. Karen has a show in Baltimore this weekend. She does macrame jewelery. It's very ornate. Ummm...oh.

Yesterday we were reading a book called the Secret of Birthdays and we were reading mine. And it said that I was accident prone. And I started listing all the things that have happened to me. All the times I fell, or scraped, or sprained, something. The time I split open my chin. The time I tipped over the scooter in Spain. And some other stuff.

And I totally stopped up there because I had to fold. My jeez. I really can not finish anything. It's really hard for me. Finish half my homework. Finish half the laundry. Half my thoughts. Sometimes I feel like people think I'm a retard. I think I am. I am soooo tired. I might go to sleep. This blog was gonna be super long too. And guess what. I finished half. Can you believe that. I am a disgrace to mankind. Well. Not mankind. Maybe just myself. I am disgusted with myself.

What Do You Mean Skipping School?!

My mom is soooo awesome. Wednesday is her and Kelly's hang out day (They have cable at Body Graphics and so they watch Project Runway while I make sure Clay doesn't wake up and destroy the room like the little tyrant he is). And so last week I just went to sleep in the bed downstairs with Clay because it was like eleven thirty. And mom drove me to school because it was on the way to chemo. We were on the way and I asked her if I could go next week. Over the summer I went to chemo with my mom at least three or four times. But she has a different doctor at a different hospital. So I kind of want to see what it's like. So I'm not going to school tomorrow

Sorry I didn't finish on Thursday, but I've been busy. Ugh. I'm tired. I just got home I guess an hour ago from a benefit for Jenni Bender from Circle of Hope (one of my churches). Her father just died from cancer, and they have some stuff to take care of. The show was at Circle Broad and Washington. This new band, Papertrigger, and and an old band, Me Without You, played. They are both really amazing bands. It was so much fun. I'd never seen Me Without You before and actually never listened to them. I am glad that I saw them though. Aaron, the singer, Chris, the guitarist, and Greg, the bassist, all go to Circle East (the one i go to). Aaron comes over my house with food all the time and hangs out with us for hours. And when I saw him after the show, he was surrounded by people. Me Without You is a HUGE band. And I never really noticed before tonight. I also met Aaron's mother tonight. She is a very sweet lady, and I liked talking to her.

And there was a raffle to raise a little more money, and a bunch of people donated art. And I actually got a painting from a friend of ours from church, Mariko. She painted this really awesome blue watercolor tree sky. Like a really really really deep blue. It's really awesome. Tucker won this 25 dollar gift certificate to this place, Naked Chocolate cafe? And Asa and Kelly won stuff. So overall it was a really fun night. Although, I kind of wish the reason for the show wasn't the one it was. But he who loves his life shall lose it. And Jenni's father knew that. Although I never met him, I've heard amazing things about him, and glad that he touched so many people's lives'. Nighty night.

Again. Something that could've been brought to my attention YESTERDAY!!!

Ok. So, I get home, and my aunt (not blood, sort of adopted, you know) Alys and I are in the kitchen because I was starving and we were starting dinner, and she says to me, "Are you going to this fund raiser tonight too?"

And I was like "What? What fund raiser. If I didn't know about it, that must mean I'm not going. Nobody ever tells me anything." So, I guess I did hear about it, it just didn't click in my mind that I was going, or that it was even tonight.

So. What this was, was a fund raiser for the Linda Creed Breast Cancer Foundation.
Basically, what happened was, my mom's friend's Amy and Sid own a corset shop, Delicious Corsets, and they felt like doing something nice.

They decided to donate corsets to artists in Philly for work, and then they would auction them off for Linda Creed. There was a table full of stuff that they were raffling off for my family (I won't say how much it made), and somebody's mom baked these awesome pastries and little cheesecake cupcakes. They showed off all of the corsets, which were absolutely wonderful.

Through the month of February, they will be auctioning on line right here. Honestly my op three are in no particular order: Jeff Kilpatrick (Fishtown Skyline), Paul Palcko (Support), And Bird and Monique Ligons (Vise Versa). All of them had hours of work put into them. I'm glad all these artists worked to help Linda Creed. I'm glad that everybody bought raffle tickets. And I thank everybody who came and showed support.

It was nice seeing everybody that I haven't seen in a while. Thanks again.
