Ok, I'm hearing rumors going round that I was part of the whole "free profile, rate 1s and start drama" bullshit that was going on.
I was not. I have not, and I try not, to cause drama here upon VampireRave.
I have only TWO profiles here upon the Rave, both premium. BurningAngel and LadyBahjau. That is it. I would never create a free profile just for the purpose of drama-mongering and spreading hatred.
If I ever do create a third profile, it may be a free one, but it would not have been created for the purpose that the free profile I'm being accused of being a part of did.
I may not be the nicest person in the world, but I'd rather tell you to your face than go behind your back.
That's all I'm saying on the subject.
So, I got some unexpected help from more of the family. And I'm waiting on a care package from Mom and Dad. Things are looking slightly up, hope it stays that way. *knocks on wood*
and now I'm just waiting for the results to come in.
I emailed my extended family (yes, the same ones who I was unable to speak to for about 15+ years due to parental issues) and told them that I'm Pagan.
It has me nervous waiting for the fallout because this family is hardcore Christian, and I don't know how they're going to react.
They seem to accept my tattooed weirdness just fine, let's see if they can accept how I believe, and not try to change me.
VIVA LA RAZA!!!
(that is all. We now return to your regularly scheduled programming.)
Even though I was unable to make any of the family bonding activities or my grandmother's memorial service, I was still in my family's thoughts, and they in mine.
Every day since the service, I've been receiving emails with pictures attached of everything the family did. Thus far, I've received I'd say about 100 pictures. I know they're sending these to my parents as well, but I get the feeling my parents don't appreciate them as much as I do.
I've been told that my grandma's second husband (hereafter referred to as PopPop because that's what we've always called him) isn't doing so well. His health is declining now that she's gone at a rapid rate. They were together for many many years, so I guess I can't be too surprised. It was their second marriage for both of them, and together they had 11 children (my grandmother's 6, and his 5), which leads to a LARGE family, what with grandkids and great grandkids.
The sad thing is that when PopPop passes away, the family doesn't have the funding to bring everyone together again the way they did this time. And not everyone was there this time either.
*sigh*
I'm surprised to see the former AnTM model Michelle on Tough Enough tonight..I don't think that she's gonna make it the full season though. Feels like she's just going for more publicity. Otherwise-great first episode. Really liked it!
Argh.
What's so bad about being hacked is that my password was a strong one. Ugh.
WHY do people think it's funny to fuck with someone else's life? This is the email I use to apply for jobs, keep in touch with family, and other various really important things.
Rawr.
motherfucking hell, if it's not one thing, it's another. Some fucktard hacked my email account, so if you got a weird email from me, it's not from me.
April is far more than just Autism Awareness Month.
It is also: Prevention of Child Abuse Month, Cancer Control Month and Occupational Therapy Month, Animal Cruelty Prevention Month, Books to Brighten Young Minds Months, Community Spirit Month, Confederate History Month, Couple Appreciation Month, International Legacy Month, Keep America Beautiful Month, Mathematics Education Month, National Pet First Aid Awareness Month, National Youth Sports Safety Month, Occupational Therapy Month, Pets Are Wonderful Month, School Library Month, and World Habitat Awareness Month.
Any of these are just as important as autism awareness, as far as I'm concerned. One that in my mind supercedes autism awareness is the prevention of child abuse and animal cruelty. Those are two things you see championed less vocally.

Having a son with autism, I am very supportive of the local Autism Awareness Foundation. Every year, me and my son look forward to the annual Walk in the Park for Autism. He has a few friends who come and walk with us. I enjoy the day out with him, considering he hates the outdoors except for this time.
As with the animal cruelty and first aid, my son volunteers each weekend with the local animal shelter. He is a cat lover. He spends his time there petting the cats, feeding kittens, and loving on those that have injuries.
Everyone needs to be aware of these other causes for this month. I thank you for doing so.
I think it is wonderful that you choose to champion your cause. I would love to see more advocacy of what people believe in on this site rather than the drama usually seen here. I appreciate very much your flying of the Child Abuse Prevention flag, as I am a survivor of child abuse.
I think it is wonderful you are outspoken about that which you feel strongly!
Happy journeys!
Sometimes they just don't help though. Where were these people when my father was putting me into comas? Where were they when my drunk step mother hit me with the car? I told them all what my parents were doing and they ignored me. Said I was lying and just trying to get attention. You don't get put in to a coma and then lie about how it happened.

Amen. I'm one of those people that won't stab you in the back when it is turned, I will wait until you can see it coming. But at least people always know where they stand with me. I will tell them to their face what I think of them. I won't lie to make a person feel better, or make a crap load of profiles to create more drama on top of the drama with, or pretend to be someone I am not. If people who actually knew me stopped and thought of that, then they wouldn't have bothered to put my name in it to begin with. All I can say is that some people are so retarded and useless they would put a condom on after they already knocked a person up.
