I finally was able to create a halfway-decent layout. Actually… I designed this months ago (LOL) and am just now uploading it. It features lyrics from one of my favorite bands, Level 42, from their song Something About You. (Which is my favorite 80s video of all time, by the way).
It also features Milla Jovovich, and I think I designed this after seeing Resident Evil 3.
For now, I’m mostly waiting for school start up again, and the Fall semester starts in about a week and a half. Great….
My mom had surgery on Monday, and she is able to come home today. I’m glad she’s finally coming home… my mom and I were rear-ended at a stop light in January, and although I suffered no injuries from the accident (except for lower-back soreness for about a week and a half afterwards), she got the brunt of the blow and was experiencing terrible chronic pain, months and months after it happened.
She had to have surgery on her arm, which is now better than ever (thank God), and on Monday she had an operation on her back, because she had a few fractures in her spine. Isn’t that scary? Many times I wished I was the one who suffered these injuries, because I am younger and probably able to “bounce back” faster than her. It makes me very upset seeing her lying in bed all day, in pain, and unable to sleep at night or enjoy regular activities. But, hopefully, this will be the last surgery she’ll have to go through. I’m just hoping and praying her life will go back to normal now. Who knew simply going to the grocery store one evening would cause us to get rear-ended and change her life in a matter of seconds?
So, the last few months, I have been dealing with that. That is a major reason why I just don’t care about blogging anymore, because if I’m not at school, I’m usually here with my mom during the day, taking care of her. Blogging, designing layouts, and returning comments just doesn’t rate as something important on my priorities list.
And then… a few days ago, something happened in my personal life, which has basically thrown me into an impromptu bath of depression and confusion. I can’t say what it is right now, but maybe once things get taken care of, I will be able to talk about it. It’s just hard to deal with people who are dishonest… sometimes you think you know a person pretty well, but the truth is, you don’t. How well do we really know people, seriously?

Congratulations on the fact that your mother is doing better! I hope that she keeps on improving! =)

Aug 15, 08 at 1:23 amAnd it’s events like what happened to you and your mother that make me have deep conversations with Mike and lie awake an extra hour before falling asleep.
I am always the type of girl who wonders, “What if that had been me?” And like, when my mom got hurt a while ago all I could think of was what you did. If it was only me, it would have been so much easier on both of us.
I really hope whatever happened gets better somehow. With dishonesty as the topic, I can imagine this problem will be sticking to you for a while. I mean, my dad…yea…well…we won’t get into things, but he was the most dishonest person ever. And finding that out so late in life was the hardest thing ever. I mean, what do you do when you find out one of the two people that are supposedly guarenteed to love and cherish you forever doesn’t? Ah well, he’s out of my life, and I am incredibly happy about it. I can only hope that you get yourself through easier than I got myself through.
And always remember that there will ALWAYS be someone out there that is always there, and will never be that dishonest. (I’m going to go with your mother being a good shot 
)
Good luck, dear. Hope you blog again soon. You’ve always been my favorite to keep up on.

It’s horrible that this had to happen to the both of you. recovering from an accident is a truly hard thing to go through. I’ve been there…
And I totally understand that the website and blogging is low on your priority list. It’s not very high on mine either these days.

Aug 17, 08 at 7:21 pmYou’re a good daughter
Most girls our age wouldn’t even give their mother’s the time of day, even if she just got out of surgery! I know I would! I adore my mother.
I hope she continues to get better, because I know how that goes. Some woman without insurance hit the back of my mother’s car and caused a lot of neck and back problems for her for a long time, until she was able to get therapy and it mysteriously stopped hurting.

Aug 18, 08 at 3:14 pmThat is scary that you had a car crash, but I am glad that your mum is starting to feel better now, and I hope that she continues to feel that way.
