Look what the cat dragged in...

So I'm in my wonderful hospital room again, Chemo was today, it went well.

But. I have other news. Guess who woke me up at seven in the morning?

My father.

and not my step dad either.

the bio-dad-that-left-me-when-i-was-4-and-gives-me-birthday-cards-that-are-ten-years-late.

Yea...that dad.

He looks the same. Old. More like an old scottish drunk to me. Ah, the wonders of life in the land of kilts and bagpipes.

So, my dad comes in, my mom behind him, (looking as pissed as hell) and he looks at me (I'm no sight to see) along with Clary, pregnant laying besides me...oh yes, what a wonderful family reunion.

You know what his first words are?

'Ey, son, you look great, how've ya bin?"


Haha, oh yea, I'm sure I look great in a hospital bed, two IVs in my arm, and looking like death washed over. Oh yea. I look swell.

My mom made me laugh, because then, she rushed out some of her anger by saying 'How the hell does he look great? He's got fuckin' cancer! He's been doin' fine, oh yea, just about died a few weeks ago! You need to fuckin see reality.."

So yea, that was one of the first times I've ever heard my mother swear (being the proper english woman she is, she does not use such foul language....like me..haha)

Clary sprung up then and sat on the couch, feeling embarrassed because she had no idea who this guy was.

So then I just, being the smart ass I was, say: "Hey dad, I'm doing great. I got my girlfriend, Clary, pregnant and I'm currently going under fourteen weeks of Chemotherapy. Oh, and thanks for the card, it was only about ten years late."

I have no sympathy or mercy for my father. When he left, he left heartlessly, disappearing then calling my mother to tell her he's sent the divorce papers (though they never were legally married.)

So then theres that awkward silence that kills us, and my dad suddenly goes: So, Son, what do you think about Canada?


Canada? Psh..its my dreamland, in places theres a population of 1, its icy, it has seals, it...has no sales tax...they speak french...

Canada is my fantasy land, as most of you know.

I didn't expect what would happen next...he said:


Because I think I'll take you there, how about after the holidays? We can escape to Camrose. My buddy got a shack up there that'll be perfect. We can catch up.


......>.>

<.<

Why does my dad have to make such assumptions that a small house in the least popuplated place is perfect for an eighteen year old kid that has leukemia, is going to be a father, and has so many life goals?

Oh yea, I want to be on a deserted place with a stranger. Sounds great.


My mom blew up again, with Clary, all yelling and cussing at him. I was silent, not believing that he'd actually invited me to living in Canada (what's so cool about canada? I can escape from politics? Lies. I don't really know what's in Canada) but still...I couldn't believe it.

Then, in the midst of the shower of cusses from my mother and Clary, my dad just pats me leg and says: "Think about it. I'll be back in a month."


A month...

This will be fun.

what will my answer be?

No...I think...

most likely no.

I have Clary here, and personally, she's better than anything else in the world...

so no. I won't be going to my population 1 dream place.

maybe someday...but definitely not with my bio dad.

Keeps Getting Better

I really don't like hospitals. Just their smell makes me on edge. The doctors and nurses are kind of irritating, even though my mom is one now.

What's really bothering me is how they want people to wear breathing masks when they see me. Guess my Pnuemonia is pretty bad then.

I really came here just to say I'm alright, really. I look completely like a vampire you could say, except I'm still coughing up my own blood. Yummy.

Yea, lately I've been a little....angry, if you could say it. I don't want to get anyone sick...

Today was my first day of Chemo. It went well, my hair surprisingly still wants to stay on my head. (Chemo usually causes hairloss)

As far as the Pnuemonia, I'm taking about four pills every day for it. But you know me, Ash the only guy who's immune to any type of drug unless it goes straight into the blood stream.

Yep, it's just so happy around here. (sarcasm)

Clary is still sleeping on the couch, if not on the bed next to me. She barely wears the mask anymore. She's a rebel...like the rest of my family except my sister Alex.

Alex has been a butthead. (I'd say something else, but I'd rather not use profanities at this moment in time) Always complaining about herself. I could say I'm not surprised, she's always been like that. You'd think she was a dog, always barking for something. She doesn't like how I have the attention. She barely even talks to me besides looking at me, sneering, and walking away.

So that was my highlight of the day today. (sarcasm again..)

So far, I've had three therapy dogs see me. One was Frida, the golden lab. Second was Henley, the Basset Hound. Third was Katrina, the Golden Retriever.

Henly was a nice dog. Frida was funny. and Katrina was pretty.

I have a retriever at home, so I have to say Katrina was one of my favorites.



Sometimes it's times like these where you want to be a little kid again, crying and saying you want a stuffed animal or blanket.

To admit your scared to death about what will happen tomorrow.

To be afraid of going to sleep, because you don't know if you'll wake up or about the dreams you may have.

Sometimes, I wish I was back at age 8. Just able to ride the "big kid roller coasters". Still riding the horses in the pasture. Still laughing at the sound of death. May sound crazy, but in an 18 year old's body, and explaining about how I want something I haven't seen in ten years, that makes me look a little bit crazy.

That's another thing...I can't cry. The only time I cried in the past couple days was when I heard I still had luekemia from my new doctor, and even then, it wasn't sobbing. I just went for a really long walk...and now, I feel like I'm a dried up plant that can't cry...if plants could cry..that is...


I should probably go. I'll post later. See ya.

Wish me luck.

Hospital beds again..

Today, I was emitted to the hospital.


My leukemia is worse than we all thought, and the doctors advised me to stay out of school until my Chemotherapy was done.

Which is in 14 weeks.

I guess that I should be used to hospitals by now, but personally, I'm terrified of them. I've had so much done here, so many tears here, it pains me to remember that I may not have much longer to live. (but I'm trying to be optimistic about this ordeal)


With 14 weeks in and out of the hospital, I'm not sure if I can graduate, but my doctor and teachers all said the same thing: You'll graduate, we'll try to make an exception.


So apparently I'm still graduating.

So right now, My parents and siblings are all down in the cafeteria. Alysa and Clary decided to miss school today, and Clary's sleeping on the couch a few feet away from me.

I really don't know what to write, since I really don't know how to take this event.

I've had chemo about three times before, and right now, for some strange reason I have yet to fathom, I am more scared now than I was the first time.

Maybe it's because I had my hopes up for the future, and now that it was starting to plan out, I'm scared that I can't live those plans.


I'll be back later...when I know more what's going to happen..


~Ash

Thursday, October 23, 2008

Oh Canada

So.


I know what you're thinking.

Well, if you were zayla, you'd be thinking:


ASH! where the *bleep* hae you been? I have been freaking checking this *cuss word* blog all the time, because according to Clary, YOU DIDN"T POST ABOUT HOMECOMING or even ABOUT YOUR *Stupid is a naughty word :p* TRIP TO CANADA! WHERE THE *Wow Zayla has an explicit mind* ARE YOU NOW ADAYS!??


Thank you Zayla's permanant mark on my mind to share that...

No, I have been to homecoming, I am dealing with being a father, I am planning my future already, and yes

I am in Canada!

Victoria, to be exact. I Drove to Vancouver the first three nights, went to the Hard Rock Cafe, went to a couple shops, you know. I was a tourist. :)

Then I came back into the states, then took a ferry to Victoria, which is in canada. In Victoria I went to mueseums mostly (I want to write a Realistic Fiction novel when I'm older, and I'm researching pretty much) . I read about Natie American Nomads in Canada. I was a weird kid among old people. Ya know, they asked if I was a history major, then when I told them I want to work on Cars and be a collector they just kinda walked away after that.

Kidding, I told them I want to have a literature major. I'm not too mean to elders..mostly.

I saw Dinosuars today :) I've been telling everyone that today because besides calling Clary, that was one of the highlights in my day. It was kind of awkwardly cool...if you know what I mean.

Because I am 18, I go into a Dinosuar mueseum, and there are little kids running around, pulling exhausted guardians along with them. And Here I am, a soon-to-be father acting as excited as a kid to see the femur of a Tyranosuarus Rex. What a lovely dad I'll be.

I am having a problem spelling today. I am getting confused with Vowels today. Its really bothering me.


I am totally not tired, een though its midnight and I have to drive the three hours back home tomorrow. Why? I know what someone would ask me:

Did you have more Caffine today, Ash?


No. I have not had caffine since my rant on the Boards thank you. Me+Coffee=NO WAY ARE WE GOING TO LIVE...kidding, again. But I seriously have these spazz attacks that aren't normal for me. And that can be hazardous in Canada, since I'm alone.

ANYWAY, why I'm really excited and talking really weird by saying "totally, and like, etc" is because tomorrow, I go home and get to see Clary. :)


Oh gof, I wish I could say I was drunk, because I really feel like it (god I keep wanting to type totally, I AM HANGING OUT WITH TOO MANY HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS. no offense or anything...I need to call Seth and Cooper when I get home now...they need to bring back my manliness) Again, wish I could say I was drunk, high, just got my head through a brick wall, something that would make up for this......rant.

What is the point of this blog anyway? I mean really, I hope you guys are laughing your ass off, because I at this moment, am sitting in an icicle room. I got a hotel that gave me a room, with no heat. yes. In canada. the practically population of 1 country because there is NOTHING THERE, JUST FREAKING ICE AND SNOW, and they gave me a room with only three blankets, and a giant door that does not lock.

How safe do I feel? As safe as being in prison, thats how safe I feel.

Oh god, ok, So I was talking to Clary right, and in the background of her phone, I hear this:


"Oh no, don't touch me there, this is my no-no square, R-A-P-E, Get that thing away from me, RAPE! RAPE!"


Guess who was singing it?

Your mom? No.

Clary? No..

Alysa? Bingo.

She created that song with her new boyfriend (who reminds me a lot of Nathin) when they were "bored and had nothing to do".

Oh well, better than having intercourse.

So anyway, I'm freezing cold, in Canada, hoping I am not appealing to any runaway sex offenders who have an interest in guys...

Ok really, have you ever noticed, that a lot of guys aren't raped a lot? I mean, yea the high school gym teachers and the freaky plastic Jackson guy, but really, offenders mostly prey on girls...just a random thought.

My god, what is this blog about?

About nothing. About making you LAUGH. I hoped you laughed during this...


I mean...really....

I feel like talking like a valley girl........no offense..

GOD WHAT AM I SAYING...

I think I should probably go before I act too much like my sister....

I should sleep....

what was I going to tell you...

It was something you wanted to know too...
Damn...

It was good, and once I remember it, I'll tell you....

In my next blog I'm going to answer questions...

SO LEAVE QUESTIONS.

THey can be simple, like:

What's your favorite drink from Starbucks?

or

what's your favorite animal?

I am in desparate need to call cooper and Seth...now. Sunday, we are hanging out.

Alright Coop? Alright Seth? Ok. Bring Zayla and Savy, they probably want to hang out with Clary anyway.

anyway............................

Its entertaining to watch the periods go by.....

really, try it.

...........................................


I don't sound eighteen.

I sound like a twelve year old girl (no offense)

gosh I'm being offensive today.

Ok, just one more fun word.....


Crap I forgot it.

OH I REMEBER IT..


"Holy Geez, Batman!"


I love comics, you can ask me almost anything about comics and I'll knowthem. Except sadly, I'm not a huge fan of Marvel comics. They are just copying DC comics.

I like Superman, Batman, and Flash more than I like the Hulk or....hmm, what other lame marvel character.

I liked the Fantastic Four, and I also like Spiderman and Iron Man, but...DC comics just makes me happy.

I think I am now considered a freak.


See ya in the United States,

~ASH

11:54

So


I haven't been on here a whole lot...

Sorry for that.


Well, I really want it to snow. It's been freezing ass cold and Clary still thinks its too hot.

I have to say I feel sorry for women now, they have to go through a lot of stuff when they're pregnant.

Theres nothing really to talk about, at least, about me.

I guess I've been kind of bothered lately. It seems that ever since the new school year started, everything's changed.

I mean, obviously, Clary being pregnant has changed my whole household.


(Clary has a blog now...
http://sincerelymylove.blogspot.com/ )


Alysa and I...I don't know. I guess that she has a boyfriend now...and its not the guy that tried to rape her, which is good. I've met him a couple times, reminds me kind of like me, haha.

Still getting used to the fact that I'm going to be a father....Kind of awkward I guess, because now when people look at me at school, they probably see a kid who got drunk and slept with his best friend without protection. Wonderful.

Well, this has been a fun post, eh?

God.....there really is nothing to talk about is there....hmm.


yep....

Keep Reading, hopefully it'll get more interesting...

I hope..

PS. Check out this song, its older, but its cool:

Q&A

A little while ago, someone asked me:

Why do guys say they love someone, and then they date another? Why waste your time with a girl who you don't love? Why not spend that time with the one you do?


It made me think a minute, and I have what I think is a sufficent answer.


It is common now, that very few people know what love is. The word "love" is thrown out of mouths as if it was a common word, such as No, Yes, or I. Most guys, and even girls, have yet to know what Love is.

Each person has a different time where they meet who they really love, and sometimes, people who wait for their "perfect match" can often never love. Why? Because a person that matches all your expectations is almost impossible to find.

Mixed signals is just confusion, they don't know if they like you or not, or they do, but afraid they won't afterwards.

Also, when it comes to dating in school, it is hard, because you rarely see two people who know each other extremely well dating. Its more frequent that people just like how they see you, from your appearance physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Why people don't stay in love is because they like what they see, and once they start knowing their boyfriend/girlfriend extremely well, they may find more things they don't like than traits they do like; which causes difficulty.

There's also the fact of reputations. Some people will go out because they want to boost their reps, or their popularity. This causes difficulty also when a boy/girl likes someone who is in a different group, and is simply afraid to admit that they like him/her, so they set out mixed signals.

School is harsh and so is love.

You have to find love for yourself, its hard, and its like an endless journey, and sometimes, you have things that will decrease the relationship as well as boost it.

When Clary and I first met in third grade, I admit I had the biggest crush on her, and once we started to get to know each other, I saw her more as a sister than a girlfriend. Now I see her as something more, maybe because she's pregnant with my child (most likely) or that we realized that we've liked each other for a long time, and since we're so close, we can deal with each other 24/7. I love Clary, and I have to say that I wouldn't give her up for anything.

Yea, things get awkward, but once you pass the awkward feelings, you see what you really like and dislike. Not everyone finds who they will love in the future when they're young, its different for everyone.

Let me just give you a tip: Save your big choices for the ones you really think you love and that they love you back. I'd hate to see any of the people reading this' lives thrown away because of a wrong decision.

I've made my mistakes, and I will live with them, but I've also had prep work for this kind of stuff (another benefit of having seven woman in the household and only two men). So think before you act, then you won't regret it.

---->insert Title Here<----

So, things are starting to slow down for me...sort of.

This past month has been like the living hell.

Or, it is at least.

Let's make a list, shall we?

1. Two of my favorite people are now pregnant

2. I may not have enough money to go to college

3. I had to some of my most favorite places

4. Tiffany and Alex are back.

5. Alex is getting married to a rapist

6. My cat got hit by a car

7. My dog died the other day.





Its been a joyful september. You know you love it when it comes back and bites you in the ass.
>.>

Anyway, its amazing how things change in just one month.

First you're picking which college you're going to, then you're thinking about when you want to get married.

Well, I'll talk to you later...

~Ash

PS. Did I mention that Clary's pregnant?

Monday, September 22, 2008

Wake Me Up? How About Not...

Hey Guys, haven't been on here in a while, eh?


ASH! Where the hell have you been? I've been checking this darn blog everyday for a post and you made me suffer!


Sorry guys, but I've been busy.


With what, exactly?

Well, multiple things.




Colleges: I have now applied for multiple scholarships and colleges. and I think I have a very good chance at going to college. Which is a big yay on my part.

My colleges of choice:

Washington State University

Western Washington university

NYU

and then a few community colleges are in mind too.

I'm not a super Ivy League kind of person..


Health: I've been pretty healthy. I don't have MS, and they still are waiting to see about the leukemia, but I don't really care that much anymore.


Clary: Clary and I are in that awkward relationship, so...we've been doing some talking, etc. I suppose I'm worried about her....she's been acting funny lately...


Family: Well, Alysa went missing a few days ago...and she was gone for three days.
She called me on my cell phone and asked if I would pick her up. Don't worry about her, she's fine. Just, shaken. She, too, has been acting funny lately.

(What is it with girls/women? It must be some sort of thing that I wouldn't know, haha)

Also, my mother and step-father, ran off on some unexpected honeymoon or whatever, so they won't be home until god knows when. My Sister, Tiffany, got married this weekend, and they moved upstate. So who shall be left at home to deal with a missing sibling? Me. But It's ok now. I had to miss a few days of school (Each day like a knife in the side) but I made it up.


what else, what else...

I don't really know. Who knew senior year would be so tough...really.

Well, off to check on Alysa.

Read if it makes you happy,

Hangovers in History

So, my loyal readers, I have yet to say anything about my birthday for two reasons.

1) I had to get over the shock myself

2) I had a hangover to get through


Let's start at number one, shall we?

So,
I was slightly amused at how in my comments of my last post people wanted to know if I "got some". Haha, and then of course, Zayla was interrogating me all yesterday and I guess that its for the better good if you didn't know..haha



Moving on to number two!

Well, I only had a couple beers and...quite a lot of other alcoholic beverages, and its really sad that we can get into bars and clubs without them really noticing. So, yes, I was partially drunk on my birthday...and then I can't really remember school the next day, so whoo?



Now that I'm done explaining, I have no idea what to write...hm.

Oh! Did I mention that Zayla sucks at driving? Yes, she hit a parked car..which happened to be Cooper's car, and of course, it was wonderful. I am still a little sore, but otherwise, I'm fine. Seatbelts save lives, make sure you wear one, haha.


I'll write more tomorrow or later tonight, possibly, probably not.

haha,

Don't stop reading,

~Ash

PS. FYI: just in case I don't get on tomorrow, I will not have access to a computer on friday or saturday...going to our last camping trip with friends. ;)

Happy Birthday

You know you're in trouble when your mom and little sister come out in paper crowns singing: Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday to you..

Yes, today is in fact my birthday!

I am officially 18 now, thank you, thank you


So, any questions?


Do you have any plans for your eighteenth birthday?


Why Yes, I do. In about an hour and a half I'm going out with all my friends to the club, then who knows what's going to go on there...haha. I also missed school today, so I hung out with my mom and step dad. It was really fun.


Who do you think you'll vote for?

To tell you the truth, I have no idea. I might possibly wait to register until after this presidential vote, then register after. You see, I'm a Democratic Republican, so I really have no idea. I'm leaning toward Obama, but I also think McCain might be a slightly better candidate; just because he knows what its like to be in wars, etc. So I still have no idea.


Haha, Do you think you'll get some tonight?


Seriously, Who asks these questions? (Zayla, haha)
And probably not...
Moving on..


I'll update more tomorrow, if I can see the keyboard that is. Haha, see you later guys.

Backstreet's back, alright?

Ok, so last night I went to a concert with my sister(s)

Stefani and Alysa are almost obsessed with the Backstreet Boys, and since they got three tickets, My mum chose me to go with them. I was surprised how many guys were there, because when they were mainly popular (about five, ten years ago...) I thought they were a girl's favorite.

I mean, its not every day you see a couple of guys with "pimped speakers" listening to the Backstreet boys....haha

But overall it was a very good concert.

Alysa and Stef are amazed because they got aaron carter's autograph...(why was he there? Nobody knows, maybe to support his brother's career? Oh god why do I know all this..)

Brian's son opened for them, it announced "awwww"s all over the crowd. He looked only about three or four.

Since this was their last show of the tour, they were all cracking jokes and etcetera.

It was quite a good concert.

Haha, they did say that they are going to be making a new album, so perhaps I'll be dragged to the next concert ;)

haha
we had amazing seats though, and I'll try to post up some pictures once I upload them onto my computer.

Haha, Keep Reading,

Wednesday, September 3, 2008

Well well,

I have not posted a blog in about a week.


That's pretty sad right there.


So Ash, How've you been lately?

I have been....busy. Weird. Today was the first day of my senior year. Feels extremely weird to be leaving it to my sister next year...

What Have you been doing lately?


Hmm. Well, I watched my sister show dogs at the Evergreen State Fair, which was very thrilling! Especially after being in the "hectic hospital". Then, if you all didn't know, the First of September was Alysa's birthday. She's the big 1-4 now. I feel so old...So anyway, for that I took her out shopping and what have you, we did our normal mall routine of walking through random shops...except I decided to stay out of the store Victoria's Secret. I've had enough times in there, thank you. I spent over two hundred dollars on her, plus getting her a new cat. Haha, now Alysa has her own cat. She named her Pheobe, I believe. and then today was my first day of school, and I just sent out a couple applications for scholarships and in the next months for my colleges. I'm hoping to go to Washington State University. It has a great program there, I hear. I am going into Car design, and I'm also taking some literature classes as well. And well, thats about it...


Speaking of Hospitals, How are you doing? Health-wise?

Well, I fail at answering that question, because frankly, my doctor is very stupid.

You see, we went to a cheap doctor up in Mt. Vernon, and he's never been great at doing his job. So when he tested me for MS, he got a positive, but he also said that I would never have cancer again...soo, I'm going to see a different doctor in a few days, hopefully after my birthday.


When is your Birthday, Ash?

Why my birthday is on September Eighth thank you! I will be turning eighteen, a legal adult. Amazing isn't it?

Wow.

Yes. Wow. Haha, well, I'll keep all my loyal fans updated in the whole doctor's appointment, and of course, my birthday :)

Keep Reading!

~Ash

Ps. Also, today I had the scare of my life. Not cancer or health wise, but I almost forgot all my passwords. It took me three tries just to log in on the blogger. Thats pretty sad, there.

Roses and Hospital Beds

So, As most of you know, I've been gone.

So, if you happen to be a new reader, here is where I was:

The WONDERFUL hospital. It was a wonderful stay. You know, going through Chemotherapy, trying to rid the cancer that has taken home inside my body.

Well, most of you are wagging your tails to hear my results, eh?


I have good news and Bad news.
Good news is, I managed to keep my hair during Chemo surprisingly, though its quite short right now.

Oh, and I do NOT have Leukemia anymore ;D

Bad news is, while in Chemotherapy, they wanted to do a couple scans and tests, etc, and they found something else.

Its called Multiple Sclerosis and a possible future of 1) blindness 2) Becoming Crippled 3) losing feeling in my legs/hands/body 4) No longer really having Control of my body


What is MS?
Its a disease that makes the central nervous systom decinerate. Blah blah. So in other words, I won't be doing sports this year, and I be in a wheel chair before I graduate college (assumingly). Well, It isn't neccessarily fatal, but it just... *curses are present at this interval ;p -Alysa editted after posted* So yes, Good-bye Leukemia, but it happened to take my nervous system with it....Darn.

At least I'll win in the contest where you see how long you can keep your hand in boiling water :D

I'll check in with the boards and then return with more information! See ya

~Ash


PS. Sorry I'm kind of making a big deal, I guess I'm just...scared, I suppose.

Keep reading ;D

The Past Few Days

So my last blog was a little bit depressing, eh?

Yea, well, don't think about it too much.

I got the results back from the blood tests they did, (they: Doctors)
and...


Well, I still have Leukemia, but they say they might be able to get rid of it; and that hopefully, it didn't turn into other cancers, such as lung cancer, brain cancer, etc.

So, Wednesday, I'm going into the hospital for some Radiation, but of course, that may or may not work.

After my treatment, they'll see if it worked...

But of course, with Leukemia, I have the possible chance of getting Sarcoma, a tissue cancer.

BUT

let's not worry about that, because we can be happy.
Don't worry about me either; as Alysa says:

Listen to Dodger, and Don't worry.

Haha, twirp.

So, theres an update on the whole cancer thing.


Moving on, yesterday, I hammered my finger. You never really know the pain until you feel a hammer meet your middle finger. Maybe it was telling me something...who knows.

haha, so, thats all I should really say, ta-ta for now!

Amazing

Hey guys,

I have some bad news to tell you.

Well, most of you already know that I suffer Leukemia, a type of blood cancer, and have always been in fear of dying young.

Well, about a year ago, I was labeled "cured", because after staying a few months in a hospital, They thought they'd gotten rid of it.

They didnt.

About a week ago, I started to have random fevers, wake up in the night sweating, and I bruised after I bumped into a wall (don't ask). Also, while weighing in yesterday, instead of trying to gain about two pounds (sports, etc) I had lost about five in the past week.

My mother said it was probably just a flu bug, but really, only Leukemia fit my symptoms.

Tomorrow is my doctor's appointment.

I'll update on it tomorrow, so I probably won't get on the boards till....late.

Thanks,

~Ash




Hey, this is Alysa. I just wanted to give you a music suggestion. What helped me, was the song "You are the Moon" by The Hush Sound.

Its very good. Thanks again.

Help me here?

Don't freak out, I am fine. But I do need some advice.


I was going to post on the Boards, but then I just thought: 'Nah'

So-

Just tell Us what the heck you need help on. I'm tired here..

Sorry, I know.

So today, or well, technically yesterday since its 12:12, anyway, Alysa thought a moment as she did her normal rounds through my files. And then, she turned to me and asked me a interesting question.

"What if someone requested for you to write a story? Like, off the top of your head?" That made me think a little bit.

and I have been asked to do that, but it was actually a really crappy clip of story...to me at least.


So, I want your help: Help me decide a story that I will write FOR you...


Pretty much, I want characters, species, plots, etc.


I'm just getting this out now, If you want battle scenes, I'm sketchy on Human Battle Scenes, that is why in the Short Story "Sleeping" I didn't have Sethan or Joone wake up while the Cats of the Moon fought with Perdita and her patrol... because I personally hate wrting about human sparing. I just need more practice...and by battles I mean wars, you know, Narnia battles, Eragon battles, etc. I can't write that good.


So this is how you can help me, you can either: (1) Choose your own plot using the setup I will post below (2) Choose one of the plots I have, but pick the main character or (3) Choose a plot line for the assembly of characters..


Pretty simple, eh?

Setup:

Main Character:
Second Main Character(s):
Which style(third person, first person, etc):
Year:
Plot:
Location:
Other Info(optional):






Then theres my plots, which are just off the top of my head at the moment:


Story 1: Forget Whats Past (FWP)
Main Character: Stephen Cornish
Oth Chara: Mr. & Mrs. Cornish, Navaja (Nah-vie-ah), Lily Ann Rose, Bubba, Faress
Style: TBA (to be announced)
Year:...... I'm debating, probably current time...
Plot: Stephen Cornish is practically royalty. His Father and Mother own multiple vineyards and sell the most expensive, but most delicious of brews. Being royalty shows on Stephen's sister, Navaja, but Stephen just wanted a normal life. Then, on a cold Westcoast day, Stephen runs away from home, using precisely what he thinks it takes to survive the wild. On his escape route, he runs into a remarkable young woman named Lily Ann Rose, who doesn't seem to want anything to do with pasts and just wants the same freedom as Stephen.
Oth Info: Bubba and Faress are two little boys, that or they might be dogs, I'm not determined, and Stephen is at the age of 15, and Lily Ann Rose is 14.


Story 2: Mistaken (MMM)
Main Character: Rosalie Anderson
Oth Chara: Adrian Seren, Kaitlyn Anderson, the rest:tba
Style: TBA
Year: Present Time
Plot: Rosalie and Adrian had met when they were little, and became in a close relationship. When a grave mistake appears, and it starts to show, Adrian leaves for college, and Rosalie is stuck with the evidence. (I'm not saying much because I'm still not certain about this one)
Oth Info: mmmm....I don't really know..Rosalie is 16, Adrian is 18


Story 3: Paperbacks and Oil Stains (PAOS)
Main Characters: Arianna Walsh and Adrian Macovy
Oth Chara: TBA
Style: TBA
Year: Present
Plot: Ari and Adrian have always been labeled the cutest couple, and when they move in together, they're love is tested. (more to be announced, this would be the funniest one, just a reminder ;D ) --->ADULT CONTENT, MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR AGES UNDER 14, it has some sexual content, that and...hey, its a romance story<-----
Oth Info: Umm, Ari is 19 and Adrian is 21.....




vote, Vote, VOTE!

Haha, just kidding,


*hint hint* I personally favor POAS for some reason, maybe its because the plans I have for it makes me laugh...


Anyway, Thank you for the help, my adoring fans (you know who you are :D )


~Ash

PS. You can still make your own plotline


PSS. I was going to put "The Super Freaks" up there, but I wasn't sure what to do for it...hmm

Sunday, August 3, 2008

Wooh!

I am very happy tonight


Why must you be happy Ash?

Becuase your special. No kidding, because I have now had this Blog for over a MONTH!

woot! Thirty days.

How does it feel?

I feel as ridiculous as I always do.


But another reason I am so happy is because I finally got home from Fair, and CANADA


<----Canada


It was great, and I found a place up there actually. It really nice, and almost in my budget. Except it is going to be a place I go when I'm not in college.

and here's more good news,

I'M GOING TO COLLEGE!

I'm hopefully going to become a Car designer, or maybe a writer. I have yet to decide. I have also come up with my senior project, (yes, I'm kind of late on this, but its not necessarily all my fault) I am going to fix up a 1966 Chevy Chevelle Malibu. Ah, its going to be beautiful. If you don't know what this car looks like:



I just need the spark plugs and then the engine will hopefully be finished and able to run...haha

anyway..

whoa its late and I'm crashed. See you tomorrow!

Funneh

Yo my peeps, Its ALYSA here, and Ash is too busy grooming himself(hehehe) to notice that I'm on his computer. So yes, I plan to do some serious SABOTAGE. If I spelled that right. Heheh.

So first of all, I want to say ALL the embarassing things about Ash...well, at least some of them.


1) He spends about half hour doing his hair...
2) He once fell asleep on the bathroom floor
3) He sleeps sometimes on flowered sheets (xDDDD)
4) He has horse models next to his car models
5) He knows so much about horses and cars, hes a walking dictionary.
6)He has a cat named Zypher(aka: PUFFY)
7)He......used to be obsessed with drawing cats
8)He roleplays warrior cats on Furcadia (but so do I...)
9) He roleplays on myspace as Bagheera, from The Jungle Book
10) He once had a pink coat :D


Haha. Here's some pictures of Zypher...hes just so darn cute <33

Camping Fun

What is better than the warm sun, the sand in your clothes, the smell of pine and cedar, the lovely sun-kissed skin, the cool water?



Exactly, and don't forget TENT BATTLES.



hahaha, so yes, I was camping at the lake the past week. It was amazing.





So we had TENT BATTLES, which is where we have teams/tent members, with a tent leader, and they compete on their own personal goals for the week. There were three tents this week:





Tent number UNO:
The Sex Gods

Tent Captain: Cooper
Members:
Coop (cooper)
Seth
Nathin
Sam
Tent Goal: Get as many girls to think their about to lose their virginity


Tent number TWO:
The Hooter-Holders
Tent Captain: Zayla
Members:
Zayla
Savy
Dianne
Alexy
Tent Goal: See how many guys will ask them to sleep with them

Tent number TRES:
The Amazing Asses
Tent Captain: Haha, me
Members:
Meh
Jaynee
David
James
Clary
Tent Goal: See how long it takes for a girl/guy to smack our asses


Sooo, haha, yea, obviously, hopefully, you can tell that when the friends are camping, we go by absolutely NO RULES.

The funny thing is, is that a lot of the people already have boyfriends and girlfriends, per say, Cooper and Savy, Zayla is now sleeping with Seth, Dianne found David, etc.

It was quite fun, though.

The tent who one was........everyone. we tied, really.

The Amazing Asses got their butts smacked about 30 times.

The H-H's were able to get 29 guys to ask if they would sleep with them.

And the SGs had 29 girls believe they were about to lose their virginities...though some of them weren't virgins...haha.

It was hilarious what happened to Nathin. He was the first to have a prostitute (That went by the name of Amee) ask if they were going to have sex. I was the only one in the bar with Nathin at the time, and I spilled half my drink. Why? Because this happened as followed:


Nathin and Amee are making out on the bar stool next to me.
I'm sipping my drink.
Amee looks at Nathin*: How old are you, anyway?
I keep sipping my drink as Nathin adjusts his glasses.
Nate: I'm old enough
Amee: Want to go to a motel? *does something that I almost choked on my drink*
Nathin: Maybe...
I constantly try not to laugh.
Amee breathes: will you pay me for how good I am?
Nathin: How much is maximum wage:
Amee: Depends on how good it is.

Ok, for some reason I couldn't keep a straight face. I might have been a little immature, but after three to four drinks, its hard not to laugh at the sight of one of your best friends talking about sex with a prostitute..

So then Nathin got up, straightened his hair and looked at Amee and said: "I will NOT have sex with you, slut."

Now Nathin is kind of a geeky guy. You know, he wears the sweater vests, hikes up his pants, wears harry potter glasses, has pale hair....but seeing this come out of his mouth made me fall over....ok, so maybe I had about 5 drinks, but that was IT. I swear.

So "Amee" got up smacked my ass (yes mine >.>) and stalked away, giving Nate a good smack in the face with her large purse.

Thats really all I remember from that night....I think we stumbled back into the tents and I passed out...haha.

It was a fun trip though, and no, there wasn't a whole lot of drinking. I probably drank the least, though I'm not as wild as the others..haha.

There is more, and more...and to me I'd find it funny, but I'm not quite sure you'd find it humorous unless you were drunk and stumbling over sticks to get back to bed before we get caught...

But no one was injured, no one was really hurt.

I got tan, but then again all of us did. Haha, so...yea.

That was a clip of Camping with no Parental Units!

Haha see ya,

~Ash

Hm...Interesting.

You know what I find interesting?

What Ash?

How one girl, wants to buy my blog from me, just because I have the URL of Amazingfates.blogspot....etc.

You're selling your blog?

No, I'm just relocating...

Its for a price that I can't ignore (its $250, which I think is just kinda over the limit) and its not like its going to anyone too over exaggerated.

250 bucks? Thats awesome money there. Who are you selling your blog to?

This my chaps, will make you laugh.


I'm selling it to my sister.

Yes, Alysa has offered me her savings for the title of Amazing Fates. I thought I'd give it to her (as a birthday present, and only take $100 out of the 250) since her birthday is only a week before mine. (another reason we're quite close)

I have no idea where I'm moving yet...so stay posted, or tuned, whatever

~Ash

'Ello, my brother's fans! Alysa here o' course. and yes, I bought Amazing Fates blog because....I want it. heheheh, no. I wanted it for a group thing-a-majig I'm doing for school next year.

Its Called....well, Amazing Fates.

Its a group where people of all cliques and groups can come and talk like no one is listening. Like at sleepovers and stuff, you talk about whats really bothering you, and no one talks about it beyond that room? Kinda like...well I shouldn't say anything over the Internet about me, or Ash, because then he would just chase me down the street, trying to tackle me. Haha, I wuv me brother.

Anyway, its kinda based for all grades, so if you want you can join Amazing Fates, because, even though a soon-to-be 14 year-old will be running it, I am in total and complete control. Everyone signs a contract, and they can't say anything to ANYONE. Ash says that soon we'll go on strike against our parents, which was NOT my intentions. So nyahhhh at Ash.


Anyway, I best be off.

Wonderful Wishes, and Amazing Fates,

*Alysa

Grreat, just perfect

I am mad....no, no no. furious.


Why are you furious, Ash?

Thanks for asking, and I'm furious because its almost midnight, and my parents came in to talk to me.

You don't like talking to your parents, Ash?

I do, but its when they come in to announce that they're shipping you off to boarding school next year that really gets under my skin.

You're going to boarding school!? You can't, Ash!?

Will you at least have a computer with you, Ash?!

Yes, I will have a laptop. But it still makes me infuriated since I had no voice in this at all. At all.

What's worse, is that its on the other side of the country!

Its in Florida, and they say it will "Fit my need of education."
I'm not stupid! I mean, why do they bother? I'm graduating next year...
My parents bother me now.

All they say to me has something to do with the school.

I'll post later, maybe with more info....

Good, because we love you, and we want to know where you're going!

Thank you, my wonderful fans, I will tell you more later.


~Ash


P.S. - The school I'm probably going to is called Montverde Academy. And Alysa (my best buddy, little sister) may be going there too....hm.

Sunday, July 13, 2008

Ok...

So this morning, I was -again- staring at the envelope that help my father's signature. or address. whatever. I decided that I'd save myself from the torture and I opened it.

Inside, was a card. It was a birthday card that said "Son-Happy 7th Birthday! You're growing up!" blah blah blah.

I am turning 17.....so here is my thanks:


Thanks Dad, you left us and sent me a card thats about ten years late! At least its one month early! --->Birthday is Sept. 8<---- So thank you!


I guess I'm furious. Its idiotic and bad parenting of my father.

Oh well, what can I expect? Him to come racing home from God knows where and hug me when I turn 17? When I'm used to being a "man"? What will he want to do? Play with my old hot wheels? Push me down a slide where I get stuck because its too little?

He's a little late for that, but at least my mum is still here. Haha


~Ash

PS. Thank your fathers and mums, you never know when they will leave. It can be like that *snaps fingers* and you will never see them again in your lifetime.

Tuesday, July 8, 2008

Surprised? I am.

Why are you Surprised, Ash?

Thank you for asking, and why I am surprised is because today, I got a letter.
And it wasn't just any letter.

It was from my father

(Ok, let me explain this: My family consists of 7 females and 1 male, there is

Jennifer (jenni) who's 30
Alex who's 27
Tiffany (Tiffy) who's 23
Stefani (Stefi) who's 21
me (Ash ^-^) and you all know my age, most of you, at least
and then Alysa, who's 14

then there's my mother, who's 52

and when Alysa was about 2, my Birth father left us, and we had no way to find him/talk to him. So we just figured he'd moved on and didn't want to be our family. (I know, sad isn't it?)
But my mother decided that he wasn't worth her tears and a couple years later, remarried to an english gentlemen from her childhood. So he's now my Step-father, and he raised me pretty much. So, after 12 years, why would my father contact me? and me only?)

I haven't really opened the envelope yet. Personally, I'm scared as to what it has to say.

What if its a plane ticket to scotland, and my father suddenly wants me to live over there with him?

What if its a letter telling me that I'm not his blood son...and that I'm living with stage parents?

What if its a letter telling me that he died and I get his fortune in lambs ( seriously, thats what my father would end up doing. Paying with lambs.)

What if its a will? Telling me that I get anything and my sisters get squat because their not of the male gender?


So, as I'm looking at it now, I'm wondering why my father would only contact me. I'll open it once the shock slows down, that or the curiousity finally makes me do it.....hm.

Hoorah for the Red, White, And Blue!

I know that I posted early this morning, at what? 1 'o clock am? Well, I'm posting again in true honor of Independence day/Fourth of July.

So let's review, shall we?


In 1776, we beat the British and sent them home, after events that should not be repeated.

For instance, the British was cruel. They taxed the not-yet americans for tea and foods. Tea. So yes, my family has Tea Time, but thats also what one would call Lunch to us, we just like to call it Tea Time so my mother doesn't get homesick (since she was born in Liverpool, England).

Carrying on, The Patriots were born, and they killed a lot of the British. So there were a lot of wars, and then there was the BIG one.

The American Revolution, which consisted of smaller wars at certain places that crossed the first thirteen states of America.

After a while we won the Revolution when the Leader of the British Armies surrendered to our dear George Washington and of couse, the French came. :)

So the British went back on ships across the Ocean back to the command of King George III(?) and we celebrated, therefore announcing that July 4 is a wonderous day of Independence.

My Family is one of the most enthusiastic celebraters. My parents were born in a different country, therefor they weren't known well to the American Revolution. (Well, my mom was, since shes from England. My dad learned it in his schooling, but I don't think he listened since I gave him the whole lesson again after I learned it) So to announce that we are indeed, American, we buy the most expensive and pretty fireworks, and set them off at My Aunt's house on Camano.

Its wonderful.

We should really all celebrate Independence Day, because If you think how crappy it would be to still be under rule of England (No offense to Great Britain). We'd be taxed ridiculously. So thank those who died for you and I, otherwise, America wouldn't be so grand as it is now, and I'd probably be living in Scotland for all I know.

So Hoorah for the Free and the Brave!

PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN

Pride is a good thing, just don't Brag :)

~Ash

PS. Hoorah for my Second post!

Opening Day!

Whoot!

Today I finally Created my Blog
That, my chums, is fantastic!

Why?

Because I wrote a looong post on The Boards saying that I was going to start a blog and I haven't gotten to it until now. So, this was a Check mark on my large To-Do list.


So today, was horrible!
I got in another fight today.
I was getting sick and Tired of Andrew, and so he started calling me Frenchie (I am not french. I'm english-scottish) and then he swung at me; all the while Clary was watching. Anyway, I gave him another black eye (I won't be surprised if he looks like a raccoon tomorrow) and I left with only one black eye. Oh well, At least my headache went away!

Also, I realized how hilarious the speakers sound in the free dictionary. Its ridiculously hilarious.

Listen for yourslf if you don't believe me:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ridiculous

First click on the Great Britian Flag, then click the lone speaker down below, by the pronunciation of Ridiculous.

I may be immature at this, but something about it makes me laugh.

anyway, its 1:45, I should probably be off to bed!

Happy Independence Day!

~Ash
