This was written on June 13, 2011, at 11:13 AM. This also does not have a word count since this was also written as a diary entry.
So, I just woke up from the craziest and/or strangest dream. I can't recall all of the details of it, and I blame the dream on the test I took yesterday (in which it asked about dreaming and I answered that I usually have dreamless sleep) and having had to work at Char's reception this past Friday.
In my dream, the four of us were home and Chris and his girlfriend were over to chat with us. I was sitting on the desk chair, the both of them were sitting on the couch (his girlfriend was sitting closest to me), Dad was in the bathroom doing something, Sarah was in her bedroom doing something, and Mom might have been sitting in the rocking chair. Anyway!
His girlfriend and I start talking about their relationship. She says something and I ask that if the relationship is serious enough that it must be coming to a proposal soon. She ends up with a grin on her face (I don't recall the look on Chris's face). I ask either how long they've been in a relationship or how long she's known him (I don't remember which). I think she said since 1999 to which I think Chris replied with something like, "In your dreams."
Within a couple of minutes, she says something that starts to anger me. She says something to me and adds "Mother F'ing B" to the end of it. That does it. I am off of my chair in a split second and I attack her. I start slapping her with both sides of my hands. I hit her so hard that my slaps would rival that of punches. Eventually, we land on the floor because she's struggling to get away from me and I won't let her. Everyone comes out to see what is going on and they just stand there in shock.
Eventually it stops. I let Peyton out still angry. I come back in and I hear someone say that she needs to go to the hospital. She is quickly taken outside (I think by Chris). I just stand in front of the desk chair with every one's eyes on me. Someone (possibly Chris) says that his girlfriend has a black eye. Chris makes his round of hugs and comes to me last. I don't remember what he said to me but I do remember that when he was hugging me, I wasn't hugging him back. I looked at Mom and I could see that she was trying to hold back laughter from what she had seen me do to his girlfriend. I collapse against Chris because I just want to fall onto my knees over the shock of what I had done. Chris hangs onto me and slowly lowers me onto my knees with him. My face is against the front of his shoulder, breathing in and out, wanting to cry, body shaking in shock.
And then? It's over. I wake up. I could not believe what I had done in the dream. I am still in a little shock. So, apparently, do not mess with me.

Char's Wedding
Written June 11, 2011, 1:06 AM. This does not have a word count because this was to be a diary entry but then I decided to just put it on my blog because that might be faster.
So, Pa and I finished Char's wedding a few hours ago. It was quite...different. We mostly played love songs from my computer as background music. But, before I can talk about the dance, I must start at the beginning.
At one point when the guests were arriving, Dad, Chris, and his girlfriend were talking in front of the booth. I saw him holding hands with her and I just wanted to cry. I was starting to get tears in my eyes. I wanted to go out to the Jeep and start crying my eyes out.
During Char and Leon's dance, Chris was standing behind the booth. Well, I wanted a clear visual of Char and Leon so I ended up standing next to Chris. And I ended up mouthing the lyrics because one of my favorite songs (if not the favorite) was being played as a first dance.
When we started playing the slow songs, I watched as Chris asked his girlfriend to dance and they danced. I think that, throughout the night, I constantly wondered if he was going to ask me for a dance. Eventually, he asked me for a dance.
When he asked if I wanted to dance, I told him that it was up to him. He told me something to the extent of, "Come on." When we moved towards each other, I didn't know where to place my hands. Do I wrap my arms around his neck? Do I place my hands on his shoulders? Do I place my left hand in his right and have my right hand on his shoulder? Eventually, it got to be my left hand on his shoulder and my right in his left. If I recall, we danced to "Don't Know Much" by Aaron Neville and Linda Ronstadt. But I may be mistaken. Towards the beginning of the dance, I happened to glance over to where Annette was sitting and Uncle David and Dad were standing. Both men had cameras! And Sam had a video camera (at least I think it was a video camera) and was capturing me and Chris on film! I think I was so embarrassed. Chris and I talked about it being my senior year in college. We also talked about my major and minor. He even mentioned that we were wearing the same colors of clothing: red shirts, black pants, and black shoes. And then... It was over.
During the rest of the night and Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight," I continuously wanted Chris to ask me to dance. Unfortunately, it did not happen.
I remember that, at a couple of points, Chris came to me for rescuing from Sam and Abby. Dad, Chris, and I were standing behind the booth. Abby came up and was trying to talk to Chris. I leaned down and told her that she needed to go by Annette because there were too many people behind the booth. She turned around and left. Chris thanked me and told me that the bigger one was worse. I also remember that, when I was behind the booth working on music, Chris came up to me and laid his head on my shoulder and proceeded to pretend to be snoring. I think that I said something to the extent of, "You better not be tired," or something like that.

Torchwood
I do not remember why I started watching Torchwood. All I do remember is that I started to watch it last weekend; and I have been watching and downloading music videos on Jack and Ianto, downloaded and watched all of the episodes, and have been coming up with ideas for videos.
To start, Torchwood is a spin-off of Doctor Who with Captain Jack Harkness as the main character. Ianto is an employee. He starts off as, basically, only a coffee boy. When Jack is gone for a year, Ianto starts going on all missions with Gwen, Toshiko, and Owen. It took me ten or so minutes to get the timeline between Jack playing in Doctor Who and Torchwood straight.
Here's the timeline: You meet Jack in Doctor Who. After the first season with the ninth doctor, Jack takes his place in Torchwood. At the end of the first season of Torchwood, Jack disappears (you hear the TARDIS so you figure Jack is with Doctor). Jack is back in Doctor Who for a few episodes with the Master which, for their time, would be a year. At the end, Jack leaves. At the beginning of the second season of Torchwood, Jack reappears. Between the second and third season of Torchwood, Jack, Ianto, and Gwen play a part in the last two episodes of the fourth season of Doctor Who. Then we have the third season (which consists of only five episodes) of Torchwood. At the end of the fifth episode, Jack leaves Earth to travel so that he can try to forget things. In the last episode with the tenth doctor, you see Jack at a bar. I read that Jack will be back for the fourth season of Torchwood, which takes place sometime later.
Anyway... Jack and Ianto began a relationship in Torchwood. Unfortunately, Ianto dies in the fourth episode of the third season. Because of everything that Jack went through in those last episodes of the season, he leaves. Their relationship was beautiful (in my opinion) but Jack's intentions were (and still are) questionable. I mean, does Jack actually love Ianto or was Ianto only, according to Owen, Jack's "part-time shag?" An example of the thing that keeps me worried about the relationship between Jack and Ianto is that at Gwen's wedding reception, she continues to dance with Jack several seconds after Ianto clears his throat and asks to cut in so that he could dance with Jack. Even within the first several seconds when both men dance, Jack looks back at Gwen.
For a couple of the videos, I have how I want to start the videos and who they are going to be about. One of the videos I came up with made me cry when I watched the clip before I listened to the song. The clip I came up with was when Ianto was dying and asked Jack if he would remember him, even in a thousand years to which Jack replied that he would and that he promised. After that scene, I have "Please Remember Me" by John Barrowman (Jack). I read comments to the song on YouTube. Some of the people were saying that it would be Jack remembering Ianto and others saying that that song is definitely their song.
The other video I have planned is when Gwen tells Rhys (although I will try to make it so that she is telling Jack) that Ianto died. The song I have is "My December" by Linkin Park. The song is to be what Jack is like after having lost Ianto.

Osama bin Laden Dead!!
It has been almost ten years since September 11, 2001, where approximately 3,000 people were killed at the Twin Towers in New York City, at the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
This was started by hijackers hijacking four airplanes under the command of Osama bin Laden. Throughout these ten years, bin Laden has been sending videos, basically mocking the United States and telling us that he commanded the attack against us. He has also been in Pakistan these past several years.
President George Bush said that we should do everything to stop terrorist groups and take down bin Laden. He should be getting the credit. Not Barack Obama because he has only received the war. He has not even served in the military before. The credit should most definitely go to our military. And even Bush for sending troops to the Middle East. Obama should only get credit for giving our troops the go-ahead for the finding of bin Laden.
Richard Engel, a correspondent for NBC, said that bin Laden was the "symbol for war against the United States."
Brian Williams, anchor for Nightly News on NBC, said that New York City is under security for the next few days because of bin Laden's murder. He also said that it will be hard for people to enter or leave the city during the present time. Williams said that it has been 9 years, 7 months, and 20 days since the attack on 9/11.
Jim Miklaszewski, a correspondent for NBC at the Pentagon, said that the threat level has been raised due to current news.
In Obama's speech, he began with telling the United States and the world that Osama bin Laden is dead. He went on to start with 9/11, reminding us of how it was a clear day. And then the attacks occurred. He said that, in light of the attacks, the people came together. "[W]e were united as one American family." Obama said that bin Laden was committed to killing innocents in the U.S. and around the world. He said that, in our Fight Against Terror, we have killed several of the men that had helped in the plot against the U.S. He said that in the gunfight against the U.S. and bin Laden, no Americans were harmed, nor any civilians.
Obama continued with saying that Bush said that the war was not against Islam but again bin Laden, a mass murderer. Obama said that we "did not choose this fight. It came to our shores..." He also said that we know what the cost of war is. He went on to say, "[W]e will never tolerate our security being threatened, nor stand idly ben when our people have been killed." Obama finished his speech by saying, "Justice has been done." And said: "[O]ne nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
After the speech, Williams gave numbers to the attack on 9/11. He said that there were 2,600 killed in New York City, 125 in the Pentagon, and 256 on four air crafts. He said that this attack "surpasses Pearl Harbor." He gave a quote that was said by a man who had lost his wife in one of the World Trade Centers. The man said that he was "glad this man's evil is off of this world forever."

Walt Disney & Tangled
A few weekends ago, I got to see the Walt Disney movie Tangled. It was so good that I watched it every single day for a week or two. If I recall, the first time I watched it, it made me laugh and cry. I laughed when Rapunzel hit Flynn with the frying pan and squealed. I also laughed when she threatened to hit him again with the pan. I cried when she believed he left her and took the crown. I smiled with love when the both of them sang their duet. I was so into the movie that I wanted my parents to also watch it. One day, dad and I watched the movie. I was scared that, because it was a Disney (and specifically a princess) movie he would not like it. Whenever he would laugh, I would smile because I knew he was enjoying the movie. I think that, for an early birthday present, I want mom to watch the movie with me (my birthday is on Monday and she has Saturday off). Currently, I am listening to Tangled while I am writing this. I know, probably annoying and most likely a lot of people would not watch the same movie over and over again. Mom had asked one of the employees at the Flower Department in Martin's if they would get any balloons from Tangled anytime. Mom wanted to get me a Tangled balloon for my birthday!
For some reason, I have been into the Disney Princesses. It might be because of Tangled. I asked mom and dad if, for my birthday, I could get the Disney Princess dolls set because Rapunzel was in the set. I said that if I could not have the set, I would like to start with two dolls: Rapunzel and Flynn. I also asked them if I can get two dolls a month so that I could have the entire set of princesses and their princes. So, I ended up getting Rapunzel and Flynn! I was practically jumping for joy when I received them. Now, I am only waiting to get the okay to order another two dolls. I figure I will get them in this order: Tiana and Naveen, Mulan and Shang, Pocahontas and John Smith, Jasmine and Aladdin, Belle and Adam (Beast), Ariel and Eric, Aurora and Phillip, Cinderella and Charming, and Snow White and Ferdinand. I figured if I get two a month, I will receive the last couple in December. Just in time for Christmas! I have been so into the princesses these past few weeks that I want to make a CD with the songs that the princesses sing or represents them. Also, I want to make a calendar that has the princesses and their princes. An example would be that January would have Snow White and Prince Ferdinand. I hope that I can make a CD, a calendar, and get all of the princesses. There is a video on YouTube that someone made, using all ten princesses. When I found the video, I watched it over and over again because I was so into the princesses. And I still love it!

Mid-Term Break
Sigh. Last Friday, I wanted to write that I was on mid-term break for the next week. But, I kept on forgetting about it. So, here I am, on the last day of break. So this is what I did: I had homework that I wanted to work on; I watched Tangled over and over again; my dad and I had to do some work for a wedding that we are doing in June... There was a lot of things that I did. Okay, well, for homework, I did do a few things but I mostly just relaxed without doing much this past week. Unfortunately, when I go back to school, I have to do homework. I have a test that I have to take on Wednesday and then next Monday, I have another test. These tests are mid-term exams. I just do not know why we did not take them before break that way we did not have to worry about taking tests when we returned. Well, I am just glad that I only have two months left in the school year and then a month for May term. So, in total, I have three months left for school.
So, for the wedding that my dad and I are doing in June: Chris Elliott's mother is getting married in June to Leon. Dad and I were at her house yesterday to go over music for the wedding. We heard that her pastor was having a problem with her marrying Leon and other stuff. Well, instead of having the wedding at her church which is only a few miles from the house, the wedding will most likely be at a church in Bremen. Right now, it is only sketchy. Now, the music! My aspect. So, for Char and Leon's first dance, they were going to have Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's It's Your Love. Dad went through the list of songs I have on my computer and had me play Bryan Adams and Barbra Streisand's I Finally Found Someone for Char. She called him over (after it was done) and had him listen to it. In the end, they chose I Finally Found Someone. Last night when I was in my room, I listened to It's Your Love because I wanted to know how it went. Well, I am glad that they chose Bryan and Barbra because Tim and Faith's "duet" was mostly him singing and her joining him for bits and pieces of the chorus. It mostly would have been coming from Leon's point-of-view. Now, Bryan and Barbra, when one sings their section, the other is singing a few lines, they sing the chorus together, and everything else that they do in the song. Also, with this song, it is an actual duet and it is coming from both points-of-view. I love the song, and I am glad that they chose it because, like I said, it is coming from both of their views.

Christmas 2010, New Year’s 2011
I write this on December 31, 2010. Finished at 11:43 PM.
Christmas this year was poor. I mean, not that it sucked, just that we all got at least one gift. Mom received a sweater (which was unfortunately not the correct size so she gave it to Sarah) and a book. Dad received two boxes of M&Ms, two boxes of another candy, and a wire for the speakers. Sarah got $100 and a Christmas bear. I also got $100 and the Christmas bear. Although we got the Christmas bears a few weeks before because I was so worried about not getting one. It is practically a tradition now that every year (although it has not been every year) we get a Christmas bear. This year, our bears were blue just because mom’s favorite color this holiday was blue. I did not like it because our other bears are red and green. Mom and dad broke the tradition on the color of the bears. I would not care if Sarah’s bear was blue and mine was red and green. Well, I am not going to complain because at least I got a bear.
Guess what I did with my $100! I bought a Kindle from Amazon. I bought the $189 one because I get a FREE Wi-Fi connection from Amazon. The technology in that one to receive a signal is the same as that which is used in a cell phone. I had a $50 bill from the October wedding dad and I did. I said that I would not use it because it was the first time I had ever possessed a $50 bill. Mom and dad owed me thirty dollars because I had let them use my money that I received for turning in my books and keys. So that gave me $180. Dad gave me a ten because I had asked them if they could cover the last nine dollars for my Kindle. So, I ordered it on Friday (Sarah and I had received the money early Friday) after I had put all of the money I had received in the bank before noon because that was when they closed. I received it on Tuesday because it was two-day shipping. So far, I have forty books on my Kindle! I am so happy! I am obviously looking to put a lot more on it!
Quite unbelievably, there were tornadoes in the U.S. today! I could not believe it! December 31st, and there are tornadoes in the United States! Heck, even Jasper County was under a Tornado Watch earlier this afternoon! There were no other watches in the Michiana area.
New Year’s Eve/Day was, I do not know, suck-y. Sarah went out; Mom was watching a channel for the New Year’s Eve/Day celebration. I think it is channel 57. I prefer to watch 16 because they show other countries celebrating as the hour approaches; Dad has most likely fallen asleep on the couch already; and I am sitting here, in my room, listening to music on my MP3, and writing this.
Well, I must go so that I can finish and start the year being bored with nothing to do.

The technology in that one to receive a signal is the same as that which is used in a cell phone. I had a $50 bill from the October wedding dad and I did. I said that I would not use it because it was the first time I had ever possessed a $50 bill. Mom and dad owed me thirty dollars because I had let them use my money that I received for turning in my books and keys. So that gave me $180. Dad gave me a ten because I had asked them if they could cover the last nine dollars for my Kindle. So, I ordered it on Friday (Sarah and I had received the money early Friday) after I had put all of the money I had received in the bank before noon because that was when they closed. I received it on Tuesday because it was two-day shipping. So far, I have forty books on my Kindle! I am so happy! I am obviously looking to put a lot more on it!
Quite unbelievably, there were tornadoes in the U.S. today! I could not believe it! December 31st, and there are tornadoes in the United States! Heck, even Jasper County was under a Tornado Watch earlier this afternoon! There were no other watches in the Michiana area.
New Year’s Eve/Day was, I do not know, suck-y. Sarah went out; Mom was watching a channel for the New Year’s Eve/Day celebration. I think it is channel 57. I prefer to watch 16 because they show other countries celebrating as the hour approaches; Dad has most likely fallen asleep on the couch already; and I am sitting here, in my room, listening to music on my MP3, and writing this.
Well, I must go so that I can finish and start the year being bored with nothing to do.
