Day 17 of Camp P.

Quote of the day; "Did you finally get visited by the nut sack fairy?"

Shout out to my cousin Chris who I haven't seen in years. I believe he's in the Air Force?

Keep doin' what you're doin'. <3 And keep that funny attitude, alright?! :P

How's it goin', bros? Just hanging out on IMVU with my dear friend Zane (Another shout out to him). He's in the shower so I decided to take that opportunity and write my post!

I'm doing well. Taking one day at a time by the hand. Trying not to make things difficult. Gettin' stuff done.

Today I almost get smashed by a semi :/ That was lovely. He was doing the speed limit, however the lane that we both were in was being stalled by folks trying to get into a crowded lane to exit. I guess the trucker didn't notice the abrupt stopping, and he immediately swung around my car, barely tapping the end of it (so I moved slightly away just in case), before he got far enough to come back into the same lane.

That was an adrenaline inducer!

School was cool. I think my ENGL teacher REEEALLY likes me. We have these name tags on our desks, right? So she could figure out whom we are without struggling to guess. Well, I hardly put my name tag on my desk and whenever I want to answer something, raising my hand and all, she'll call on me and state my name. Usually when she calls on people who DON'T have their name tags out, she says, "What would you like to say, No Name?" I feel special :D

Also, while I was walking to my car, I saw her and she smiled at me. She said, "Hi Payton!" and I said, "Hi!" back. :)

She probably likes me a lot since I answer her questions instead of sit there like a bum.

Also because I'm for Gay Rights.

And because I want to become an author when I grow up.

Just... throwin' those out there as an assumption.

;) 

Life has been doing good. I went to therapy today. Actually had nothing to complain about but, like a therapist should, we were bringing up subjects to discuss about anyhow. Which was nice! Getting things hidden under the rest of the garbage out so I could take care of it.

That's... I think it! Nothin' more to say other than I miss my honey very dearly and I hope and pray he is doing great. I bet he is. He's determined.

He might get Recruiters Assistance (a type of Leave) after this shindig. That would be wonderful. I'd be able to be with him for a month before I don't see him for 9 months.

I love you Mason <3

P.S: Great movie: The Untouchables with Sean Connery and Robert De Niro.

Day 16 of Camp P.

Guess who had la coppa, pecorino, and mozzarella di bufala? I did!!! Plus the entire ITAL class.

Remember when I was describing some super good looking older guy who's in my ITAL class? Turns out, he's a chef! He ordered us AUTHENTIC Italian cheese and dehydrated meat. It came in yesterday and he wanted to share it with the class.

I'm not much of a cheese fan... Yet THIS cheese??????? Holy schnikies! I had thirds on the mozzarella and seconds on the others. It was being eaten up quick. I didn't have a doubt in my MIND that it wouldn't!

You can tell Italian cheeses are like... THE cheeses because in American cheeses, you can taste and feel in the texture that the industries put so much CRAP in it; making it thick and, well, not as delicious! However, the mozzarella.... WOW! That was light and just... oh so good!

In other news........

Has any of you readers seen the previews for that new zombie movie? The one where the zombies "come back to life"? Any of you guys think it looks ridiculous?

I think it does...

Defies the zombie logics...

IMPOSSIBRU!

Anyway, what I'm trying to say here is that... the guy who, apparently, wrote a novel BEFORE it turned into a movie, LIVES here!

I think he won a competition?

Well, dude who lives here, congrats. Though I may never see your animated work, I still congratulate you in succeeding something that I probably won't be able to until I'm semi-older.

Besides everything I have said, today was satisfying.

<3

Day 15 of Camp P.

Hiiiii!

Simple day, once again, for the simple-minded ;)

How is everyone? I'm doing well. But this morning I almost had a breakdown.

I don't know if I shared this with you all, but before I got used to Mason's absence, I would wake up each morning bawling.

Now I'm kind of used to him being away.

Sort of.

As I was saying, it almost happened to me AGAIN this morning. Yet I stopped it, thankfully. Was NOT going to ruin my day already...

Nothing happened at college because things were either behind or terribly easy!!!

Nevertheless, the CUTEST thing occurred in ITAL class... Our teacher brought in her little tiny tot of a foster child, named Kiera.

So... Friggin'... Adorable <3

Our teacher seems inexperienced with kids. It shows quit well, haha. But I'm sure she isn't a bad parent. Just a new one.

When I got home, I rested. I only had ITAL homework and it was tough :/ I hate tough stuff to the point I have to read the rules on how to do things.

Blah.

Currently I'm on IMVU and listening to the rain pour. Hello, Rain. How do you do? It's been a while, yes? I think so too.

:) My little rhyme to end this post.

P.S: I wrote this in my car while waiting for the time to go by. It's part of a letter I was writing to Mason. I wanted to share it with you guys to show what it feels like being me right now with a boyfriend far, far away:

"I wish you could answer back to me. Asking questions and getting no reply is sort of... saddening. You feel like you're in this bubble; your own little world. Everything is fine, some drama here and there, but pretty much your life in this bubble is normal.

However, in this bubble of yours, you are missing something. You know (or don't know) what it is, yet you can't have it. But you act as if it is there anyway! Some days, you are perfectly fine pretending the thing is with you. And then other days, you feel sick to your stomach from realizing the reality of that thing not being there; it was all imagination.

Soon, you get lonely.

Then, you get depressed.

Next, you don't want to do a single thing because you'd rather wait for YOUR thing instead of dealing with other things.

Nevertheless, there's always that one morning or one afternoon or one evening when you wake up or do something or see someone and you feel lively again! Your thing is still with you, but not physically, and that's okay.

Because in the end, what you're missing, will come around the corner soon enough.

<3 Hope and Love <3

That's what keeps us going."

Day 14 of Camp P.

I have no homework.

Well, I have ITAL... But I did Math homework while my teacher gave the lesson and I kicked butt on my essays last night, though only one of them was due today...

I have some things to tell you!! I need to catch up! I keep writing them down in my journal to give to Mason but I forgot to post it on here.

Firstly, I aced a math test and got a B on my recent Italian test...

Lastly, a couple nights ago, I was having crazy ass, scary ass nightmares. I mean... when you wake up after them, you feel like you don't want to pass back out again. Yet I managed to, which was nice.

My first nightmare was about zombies. And you know how I HATE ZOMBIES!!!! Especially ones that look WAY TOO REALISTIC!! Here's what happened:

KILLING ZOMBIES @ GRANDMA'S HOUSE:

I think we were in a simulation because some scenes would reset. But beside the point, I was at my grandma J's house. At first, I and the main character from the video game "The Walking Dead" (Lee) were hiding in the kitchen as we waited for some zombies to leave. They all were outside, wanting to get inside. However, if they didn't see our silhouette, we were safe.

After a while, Lee poofed somewhere. I don't know where, but he left and soon I was with my entire family: My grandma, grandpa, uncle, mom and dad. Then there was me. We all had weapons. Of course, my grandpa wouldn't listen to us when zombies were checking out the house; we'd tell him to shut up but he'd talk so LOUDLY! And when we had to duck and get our shadows out of the sunshine, he wouldn't move to the floor. He'd just SIT there!

Sounds like him in real life, doesn't it, family? Not abiding by the rules one bit.

As I was saying, we were struggling. We were running out of ammo, people were getting scared, when SUDDENLY...

... The zombies went away and everyone was outside. It was sunny and bright and we were goofing off with this big, giant, monstrous semi-truck that I called "Optimus Prime." I mean, the bastard was MASSIVE! I don't remember who was driving it around, but I was watching it from the street and cheering it on.

Like, literally... Just this huge semi-truck was parked in front of my grandparents house and we began playing with it as if we weren't scared of zombies anymore. There were none at the time! However, that was about to change...

Something unlatched the bed of the truck with the truck itself. The truck rolled away, leaving the bed and its carrier lying still. The bummer was, the carrier's doors FLUNG open and inside... were TONS of zombies... They weren't moving. They were sprawled on top of each other as if they were dead and unable to come back to life. But mom warned me, "Be quiet." as we tip-toed back to the house.

That didn't help.

The zombies SPRUNG to life and they all fled out from the carrier. We ran hard and fast to the house. I got there first and hid inside. But where did my mom go? I went back outside and watched a swarm of zombies get together in a frantic group. My uncle began crying and pointing at the crowd of undead corpses, claiming that my mom was trapped.

She was already dead and gone. We couldn't do a single thing to save her life.

Now we were doomed. People were being killed and knocked off of our survival list. When we went back inside, the zombies knew we were there, and the house was practically busting from the seams! We ran out of ammo, there was time wasting, we tried to hide; no good.

I decided to check on the back door leading to the garage. That was about to get pushed open from all the zombies trying to get in. I tried pushing them back but I got grabbed! I tried getting loose yet they were so strong! Too strong to be normal undead, rotten-fleshed zombies!

It was too late. I was dragged outside and they began feasting on my bones. I, surprisingly, wasn't really panicking. All I screamed out was, "Restart the system! They got me!"

And that's where it ended.

My next nightmare was WORSE. Here's how this one went:

LUCIFER'S IN MY HEAD:

The title speaks for itself; this nightmare was very satanic and scary as eff-yew-cee-kay. I did NOT like it one bit... I was scared ess-ach-eye-tee-ell-ee-ess-ess when I woke up. I wanted to write Mason a quick letter before falling asleep again, but it didn't take long for me to pass out.

I was in my own house, minding my own business until I found these papers in the computer room. What had happened was... these supposedly "harmless papers" had satanic scriptures written on them. I felt if I were to nail them up on a wall, reeeeally bad stuff would happen.

So I did it.

Aaaaaand really bad stuff DID happen.

I was delusional and seeing satanic symbols and a person crucified on my kitchen's wall and there were voices, nonstop, all around me and the lighting would go back and forth; from normal to red.

I finally realized that what I had done... was super incorrect.

Out of the blue, I became religious. I ran back up to the papers, in which were nailed on the wall, and took out this "holy knife" from NOWHERE, and began cutting them up. I kept saying, "In the name of Jesus Christ, I command you to leave!"

After a good, what felt like, hour... the satanic crap stopped and the papers were destroyed.

The End!

It was a full moon those last couple of nights (even on my birthday :D). My Swedish friend on IMVU blamed the full moon for our nightmares. I might have to agree.

Another crazy thing that occurred... but it happened TODAY...

Our new Italian tutor is named Forrest.

YUP!

I met a Forrest today!!

He was introduced to us during class from our teacher. He's a majorly big time white boy; American. His home state is New Mexico. Yet he is a very good speaker in Italian. :)

I HAD to let Mason know that our all time favorite movie's main character's name was the name of our ITAL tutor.

Awesome... Indeed.

That's it! Glad you got a longer post today? :P

Day 13 of Camp P.

Pardon the super late post. I've been bed-ridden and all I have been doing today are essays and chatting with old friends on IMVU.

I'm not injured or anything, if that's what you're wondering. I just decided to be extremely lazy. So I stayed in bed all day long. No harm in that.

But seriously guys, this is a useless post. A very quick one. I did NOTHING. I had to catch up on essays, which was terribly boring, and I procrastinated on them by hanging out on IMVU.

Some old friends of mine are finally coming back online. :) It's nice. I have folks to talk with and not feel so lonely.

But yea umm... I'm going to leave it here and finish an essay I'm gradually working on currently. As you can tell, it isn't all that fascinating because I'm doing a post right now to waste time.

Hope everybody is doing well. Keep away from people who are sick! No me gusta the Flu.

Peace, love, and chicken grease.

Day 12 of Camp P.

Life's boring again.

I guess I shouldn't complain.

I'm not doing anything otherwise to make it LESS boring.

I just miss Mason... I just want to wait until he comes home or is able to contact me. I don't want to do anything else! ... And that's what's making me unhappy the most...

Dad suggested a job. I don't want to get caught up in that yet. I'm fine with schooling and playing on my laptop for now. I can deal with being bored, but I can't deal with being stressed. They both suck...

I could start up a show on Netflix and watch THAT every day. Watching something I like gets me entertained and has the time flying by.

There's this channel on YouTube called Bad Lip Reading. It is EXTREMELY funny! Now I know what to look at if my day turns out to be a pain in the ass.

Talking about pain in the ass situations, I have homework to do :/ Guess why I'm not doing it...

...

......

........ TIMES UP!

The answer was, "Because it's a pain in the ass."

Did you get it correct?

... Goddamn I'm bored. I'm probably making you readers bored too; having nothing to say anymore.

I just don't know what to do! Help me! I'm suffering!!

:( Ying wants her Yang back...

Not too far from the daily "rush hour" campaign one can visit one of nature's most special environments—Jones Beach, New York, the west end. It's a perfect host for various bird of prey species throughout the four seasons. Each winter hundreds of birders and photographers travel in search of the snowy owl.

Day 11 of Camp P.

HAAAAPPY BIRTHDAY TOOOOOOO MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!111

Wow.

I seriously needed a joyful day. And today was that day.

Not only was school easy-peezy lemon squeezy, but once I got home... everything was awesome. There was a small stack of presents waiting for me. :) BUT... I didn't open them yet. I played on IMVU, chillin' like a villain, then I took a walk and when I got HOME... dad was home too and he got me some flowers. However, that wasn't the only new thing. My aunt got me the edible bouquet treat! I forgot its actual name, but they are delicious!!! A bunch of yummy fruits placed as a bouquet! I saw a commercial for them and always wanted to try one out. Well, today was my lucky day!!

Before we headed out to pick up the grandparents for dinner (Benihana's), I opened up one present. It... was... the best.

Who remembers Sesame Street? You guys BETTER remember the aliens! The dudes who would try and figure things out and when they think they were right, they'd go, "Yepyepyepyepyepyep!" It was HILARIOUS! Even though I thought they were a bit creepy, they still made dad and I laugh.

As I was saying... Dad bought me a shirt of those guys!!!! I was like, "Bro... Where'd you even FIND this???" He wouldn't tell.

Benihana's was FABULOUS of course. The food was delicious, of course. Our chef was amusing and talented, OF COURSE. Everybody loved their dinner. Aunt Jill, uncle Jay, the girls and grandma Mary joined us, too. We filled up an entire table; first time!

The rest of my presents were great :) All very useful things. The one that touched me the most was the Marine corps watch. I should wear that every day in proud support of my honey <3

How I miss him...

Happy birthday, me. You had a good one. 19, baby!!!
