Good morning SG! 
I've already been up for a few hours now, I went down to the 24/7 gas station for a while to hang out with the night shift guy, other than that I've kinda just been hanging around. Picking things up in the house, listening to music, twisting my dreads..
Speaking of my dreads, I have a question for anyone that knows the answer. I recently ran out of the hair product my hair dresser gave me to use, Its called Chi
So yesterday I went out to CVS to get more hair goop, they didnt have Chi so I didnt know what to get.. I couldnt go anywhere else because my ride to the store had things to do, so I just picked something out and hoped for the best.. The one I got is called Fiber Gum putty by Garnier.
I do know Im not supposed to use wax, my hair dresser said it would make my hair greasy and I've been told my others that it would do bad things to my dreads.
I've already used a bit of it in my hair and it seems like its fine but Im no expert so I dont want to be fucking up my little dreadies
So my question is, Is this stuff OK to use?
About that whole school thing I've been trying to work out, I've got an appointment to go to Shriver Job Corps for an orientation on May 5th. Basically how this works is in order to go there, You have to go to the orientation. Even if you already know about the school. So after that I sign up.. and hope they accept me I think.. Im not sure what happens immediately after the orientation part so Im still a little worried as to what Im doing, but I feel a whole lot better now that I've got step number 1 taken care of.
I need to start thinking about what I want to take there now I guess, These are the options they offer,
- Advanced Computer Technologies
- Automotive
- Carpentry
- Cement Masonry
- Certified Nursing Assistant
- Computer Technology
- Culinary Arts
- Office Assistant
- Painting
- Security/Military Capability (MILCAP)
- Transportation Communications Union (TCU)
None of these things look interesting to me, But if I go to this school I get my GED and they'll teach me to drive for free. So Im thinking I'll just pick something that I think I can handle, and if I feel like studying something else I'll look into collage. Check it out here if you want to Shriver Job Corps
OK one more bit of important news, Im going to Florida in June!!! Now, I know alot of people go there for vavaations and all.. but this trip is especially important to me because I'll be visiting where I used to live, And I'll be seeing all of my old friends. Im going to be staying at my lovely jackieizsooper's house. And while I am there, She is going to be my first SG hopeful set photographer. I havent been able to visit there for almost two years now, Im beyond excited.
Im not so sure if I want to see my mom while Im there though.. Im always terrified to see her, She's always worse off than the last time. I dont want to remember her the way she is now when she dies.. I want to remember her as the beautiful mother she was when I was little. But ever sense I was 7 she's been getting more and more fucked up.. From what I've heard, She now lives in a trailer park with my step father and some friend of theirs. My mom has some kind of disease that makes her whole body hurt all the time, so her doctor prescribes her Oxycotton.. but the doctor never even looks at her, He just keeps giving them out to her.. So she's addicted, and if she doesnt take the pills she goes through withdrawal. On top of that I have reasons to believe she's doing other drugs. So as much as I love and miss my mother.. Im sure you can see why visiting her might ruin my trip. It'd probably throw me into a depression for a few months too.
This is me, my mother, and my little brother on Christmas 1997. See that cat Im holding in the picture? Its one of the only things I couldn't live without...
Wow so just to clear things up, Im definitely still very happy right now. Despite that depressing little thing about my mother, Thats sadly something I've grown used to because its been that way my whole life.
Alrighttt I'll stop boring you guys now haha
