    Wow! It's been over a year since my first and only blog post! Yikes! Well, fear not. I have returned.
     
    Some of you may have forgotten about lil' ole me since I haven't been active for several months (not to say that I don't lurk in the shadows of GA stalking you all... like Batman. But without a cool costume. Unless you count fun pajamas as a cool costume? Because right now I'm wearing bright yellow pajama pants with Homer Simpson's face all over them, and a yellow shirt with his face on it too. I match! And I'm so yellow that I look like a giant freaking banana or something... hmm...giant banana. I wonder whether that is appropriate imagery for GA. Maybe it's the perfect imagery for GA? Anyway, I digress...). If you have forgotten about me or are just hearing from me for the first time, my name is Dylan! *waits for applause*
     
    *crickets*
     
    Well nice to meet you, a**holes.
     
     
     
    Jk!
     
     
     

    * * * * *


     
    Now then, let's get down to business (to defeat...the Huns). 2014 is over, and we're moving into a bright new year! Sure, there are still war, famine, and disease in the world, but I'm confident that we'll be able to find enough goodness this year in ourselves and in others that will balance it all out. And if any of you should fall upon hard times this year, I sincerely wish you all the grace and strength in the world to overcome those rough patches.
     
    I'm glad 2014 is over. For me, it started out grand and beautiful, but then crashed and burned near the end. My girlfriend, Ariel, and I became closer than ever in the beginning of the year when we realized that we may want to spend the rest of our lives together. Even though we're in our older teens and many people would say that we didn't really mean that or were stupid, I honestly believed I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. I still do... Anyway, we got 'engaged to be engaged' in January 2014. I asked her to be my wife one day and gave her a beautiful promise ring. She said yes, of course, and it was the happiest day of my life so far. But it was not to last...
     
    In May, she started to have slight feelings for her best friend, Johnny. Ugh. That guy is an a**. TOTAL douche in my eyes, but of course a ton of people love him. He's the star kicker for our varsity football team. He's not really popular, per se, but out of the people who know him, many love him. I met him in Freshman year, and he used to tease me EVERY day when I saw him by calling me "faggot". Yeah, THAT kind of a**hole. Then, when I started dating Ariel in sophomore year, I think he got jealous that I could win over such a beautiful girl. So, one day when I was sick at home, he sleazed his way over to talk to my girlfriend. And before I knew it, they were best friends. But of course, I didn't want to be that douche who tells his girlfriend who she can and can't be friends with! So I let them be friends...even though he wuld tease me all of the time in front of her. Ugh I loathe him. Well anyway, in May she cheated on me by kissing him. And she didn't tell me until the summer.
     
    Well, I forgave her because I loved her far too deeply to let her go. But lo and behold, the feelings for Johnny grew stronger and she broke up with me the week before my birthday (yes, REALLY!) and started dating him the same day. It was really, really hurtful...we had been together for 2 years. Then she told me I wasn't allowed to talk to her family anymore, which sucked... and 3 weeks after they started dating, I found out that she was wearing a promise ring from him and they had already 'done the do'. It took US a year to do either of those things...so like wtf, man? haha
     
    Anyway, besides that unfortunate series of events (yes, I'll stop prattling on about my stupid love drama now ), my dad has been sober for over a year now! I'm so proud of him!
     
    And...I got a new cat! Her name is "Halle" Halloween. Like "Halle" Barry, but furrier. She's a black short-hair. Which makes sense actually with the Halle Barry thing, because she was freaking Catwoman! I just realized that!!! Haha. Halle is a very goofy cat. She likes to play tag, and absolutely loves tablecloths. I put them on the table, she pulls them off! It's like she's... a frustrated interior decorator or something, I swear! My dog watches her like a form of television... she's the dog's entertainment!
     
    Hmm...I started my senior year this year, and I started applying to colleges. Scary process! But I've heard back from one already, and I've been accepted at San Diego State University! *Parties like it's 1999...then realizes I was only 3 then (#awkward)*
     
    Anyway, I'll wrap this up! My year has been filled with many good and bad things, as I'm sure all of yours were! And I wish you all the best going into this next year, as I already said. Thank you for letting me vent and practice my jokes Love you all! And Happy New Year!
     
    Cheers,

    The Game of Life

    By Autumn Dream,

    So Folks, this here will be my very first blog entry! Yay! Okay, okay. Calm down. Try not to get too excited. I know I'm pretty great, but come on now. You're too kind.
     
    Well, after a really long and hard battle, my grandfather finally passed away on Saturday. About five years ago, he collapsed in a restaurant and was taken to the hospital, where he was given a heart valve transplant. Ever since then, his health has been slowly declining. It didn't do him any good that his wife, who's 25 years younger than him (don't get me started on how the family thinks she's a gold-digger), had taken him on several extravagant trips around the world in that time that he didn't have the strength to go on. She's an idiot. This side-story can effectively sum up how weird she is:
     
    One Christmas Day, several years ago, my family and I were hosting the Christmas Day dinner at our house. My mom had gone through all the trouble to churn out all of the family's favorite italian dishes, including an appetizer of meatballs. Now, meatballs are large, round, balls of meat; there's nothing really 'alien' about their appearance. Everyone should be able to immediately recognize a freaking meatball. Right? Wrong. So Joan, my grandfather's wife, goes up to my dad and looks at the plate of meatballs right next to him. She studies them for a minute, and then with a very puzzled expression, looks up at my dad and asks what they are. Now, my dad thinks she's kidding and just tells her that they're meatballs. I mean, what else could they be? Then she just goes "Oh..." and walks away. I don't even.... she's so weird.
     
    You know, she's also kind of socially retarded; she just doesn't connect with people. She especially does not get the hint when you don't want to talk to her anymore. She'll just go on and on and on AND ON for HOURS about the STUPIDEST stories! You know, I generally find older peoples' stories interesting. Sure they might be long, but I'm usually intrigued by them. NOT with Joan! That woman is just plain boring. She can put inanimate objects to sleep, I swear.
     
    She also has to constantly stick her nose into everyone else's business. For example: right after my grandfather had passed and we were in his room waiting for the crematorium to send someone to pick up the body, she starts chiding me for having something drawn on my arm. She was acting like sharpies were the gateway drug to tattoos. What the heck?! What an inappropriate time!
     
    Okay, so, moving on from my bizarre step-grandmother's character, now there's the issue of my grandfather's estate. That should be a doozy to settle. I'm glad that I don't have to do anything; considering I'm his grandson, and not one of his kids. My uncle is handling all of the paperwork. I hope for my mom's sake that she gets some inheritance and that that stupid woman didn't spend it all. My mom really needs it; the poor thing has been working herself to death lately.
     
    She works at See's Candies, you know? My mom? She works there as a second job. No, you can't have any candy.
     
    You want to know something really creepy? When going through my grandfather's house and looking at things that I might want, I found his favorite grandfather clock. What was weird about it? It had stopped. Right at the time that he passed away. Creepy.
     
    Well folks, I'm getting a tad bit depressed talking about this, so I'll end this blog here.
     
    Cheers,
    Dylan

    Greetings, minions!
     
     
     
    I hope all of you are doing well and that your year has been running smoothly so far.
     
    As for my new year, you ask?
     
    Well, I wouldn't use the word "smooth" in any way, shape, or form. I feel like my life has been like a soap opera or something over the last 2 months! It's seriously been too insane to believe, but what I'm about to tel you is 100% true.
     
    ----
     
    So, in my last blog I described the sad ending to my 2 year relationship with my girlfriend, Ariel. If you don't want to go back and read it, the short version is that she cheated on me with her best friend, begged me for forgiveness, got it, then decided she didn't want me back after all and left me for the best friend. Get it? Got it? Good.
     
    Well anyway, this is where it gets interesting (as if it wasn't interesting enough already!):
    After Ariel left me, I was heartbroken. So I turned toward my artwork for solace. In my grief, I created several paintings that reflected heartbreak, and Ariel saw me working on them one day. She seemed a little upset once she realized they were directed towards her/ our relationship, but she didn't say anything other than that they looked nice.
     
    A couple of weeks later, my art teacher put up those pieces on the bulletin board out in the hallway. She didn't ask me, but I didn't mind. A couple of days later, however, I noticed that 2 of my pieces were gone. I assumed that my teacher had taken them down, but BOY was I wrong. It turns out, they had been STOLEN!!!
     
    3 things immediately stuck out to me:
    1) TWO pieces of mine were missing. Not just one. And no one else had anything stolen
    2) The pieces hadn't been signed. This appeared to be a personal attack, since two of my pieces were gone, but someone had to have known I had painted them since they were unsigned.
    3) I don't have any enemies, so who would do this?
     
    My mind went immediately to Johnny. The best friend. My ex-girlfriend's new man.
     
    So, I explained my theory to my teacher:
    1) Ariel saw the art pieces and told Johnny they made her upset
    2) Johnny decided to get rid of them so she wouldn't have to look at them
    3) Because he's a dick, he probably destroyed them too.
     
    And guess WHAT? My art teacher confronted Johnny, and he lied to her a few times before finally CONFESSING! That jerk!!! And I was right on every single point! You cannot believe how happy it made me to hear that he was responsible, because I knew I'd get to see him PUNISHED! And guess what? They suspended him for 4 days! Now, I think he should've been expelled, but whatever.
     
    Want to know the worst part in all of it though? Ariel totally supported him. She didn't think what he did was wrong and she didn't feel bad that my feelings got hurt or that my art got ruined. There was a time when she would have cared... but she's turned into a total bitch. I think he's rubbed off on her. She never used to be that insensitive to people. It's sad to watch, and hurtful to endure.
     
    Oh well.
     
    Anyway, I just thought you would find all of that at least moderately amusing. High school drama... there's nothing quite like it
     
    Thanks for tuning in, everyone!
