AbOuT Me!

Sometimes when I tell people about all the places I've lived in, they look at me like I'm nuts or something. I'm not really, though. (I swear it!) Ok, I was born in Victoria, BC. After living there, we moved to Courtenay, BC (I think Duncan may have been in there, but I was too young and I can't remember!). From there, we moved to Comox, then Cumberland, then Royston, then back to Courtenay. After living for 2 years in Courtenay, I moved to Victoria to live with my Dad. That's where I am, currently.
In February of 1996, (I believe it was then.. if it's not, Bite me.) My mom, my step-dad and I were sitting down to dinner, when all of a sudden, my mom clutched at her head, falling over in her chair. At first, my step-dad and I thought it was just another migraine of hers, since she HAD been getting them everyday for 21 years. But then, she lost control of the whole left side of her body. My Step-dad called the ambulance and my mom was shipped to the hospital. She came back later that night, with the quote from the doctor, "It was just a migraine." Well, we all went to bed, hoping that the doc was right. But no. At 5am or so, I was woken up by my step-dad. He told me about how my mom's mind had snapped. She was doing such odd things as sitting cross legged in her closet, holding up a pair of jeans, going "Look at all the pretty china..". She was also eating things like butter, and trying to drink dry coffee. I had to sit with her, and hold her head up. She was acting as zany as a cartoon character, which was quite a stretch from her usual serious, no nonsense self. As the ambulance people came in to take her away, she said goodbye to our baby pot-bellied pig, Potsy, who had lived in the house with us. She didn't say anything to me. The next day, I was informed that my mom had to go to Victoria to get a cat scan done on her brain. As I had discovered, my mom had had 2 aneurysms of the brain, both the size of a pea. (For those of you who don't know what an aneurysm is, it is when a vein in the brain goes BOOM.) For the next month or so, my mom was in surgery and intensive care. As I heard from the doctors, during unconsciousness, she had been screaming my name loudly, thinking I was in some mischief or something. The fact was, when she was doing that, I wasn't even in the hospital. Well, the surgery had went peachy-keen and she now had 2 metal bobby pins in her head, and a large disgusting scar across her face. After all was done in intensive care, she moved on to Rehabilitation where she did very well. She had to re-learn how to walk, eat, talk and think logically. Now, she was in there for about 2 months or something. Ok, so you're probably wondering, "Is she a total retard now or what?". Well, the answer is no. She's completely the same as she was before everything. She's perfectly healthy, and still scared to death of planes. (Good thing, too, if she went through a metal detector, her head would set it off..).
I can't state a date for this one, because I sure can't remember. Anyway, this all started when my neighbor's pitbull, Brandi, jumped over the 5 and a 1/2 foot fence and attacked me. Luckily, I managed to get away some how. I can't really remember how, but I did, and that’s all that counts. Now the dog scratched me a little, but I was ok. I ran inside and told my mom. We-ell, this is when it all happened. My mom decided, that since the dog had been in our yard, chasing our ducks and chickens, that we had better catch it. She tried to catch the dog, but failed miserably. SO, what do you think she did? She made me go out in the yard as bait, with a dog cookie. I decided that was stupid, and I just called the dog, when it was in our yard, and it came over to me. (I had become friends with it after being attacked.). It came over to me, then it ran as it saw the leash. I chased after it, tackled it, and put the leash on. The SPCA came and picked it up a little later. I was the town hero, turns out that dog had been harassing all the horses in the area. However, this is where it gets creepy. Did I mention, that our next door neighbor was a psychopath? Well she was. Her family was extremely nice.. her older son, Stephen always said hello and talked to me, and Jillian and I always played video games and went swimming in the creek. After they had found out from the local people that we were the ones who had put their dog in the pound (they only noticed it was gone after 3 days) they put chicken wire over the fence, made it higher, and barred it off. Now that really ticked me off, because that was how I got to school. It took about 20-30 minutes off my travels. Well, this is a pretty lame ending to this story, but lets just say, my mom made friends with her (well, tolerated her) after the psycho jumped the fence and came over to help with our horses' first birth.
I'm not telling, you can't make me.
Not a lot, but some. First of all, I got my District Poetry award in grade 3, I think it was. I also got my first award ever, from a coloring contest and I got a book. I have loads and loads of merit and honor awards and I also have awards of excellence in Drama, Business Ed, Journalism, and other things I can't remember. I got a ribbon for the hurdles once, but I lost it. Go me? Ok, ok, so I'm award-less. So sue me.
My mom, Donna, was born somewhere. She was born in somewhere on August 29th, however. She has dark brownish-red hair, which is very long. She has hazel eyes and it about 5'3" -5'4". She likes to horseback ride and spend time with her animals. She is a housewife, but she goes with her husband (my step dad) sometimes to help him with his work. When she is mad, her eyes go neon green (seriously) and you'd better look out. In her spare time, she likes to do crossword puzzles and clean. The person is a neat-freak. Her brand of beer is coors. She smokes too.
My dad, Lawrence, was also born somewhere, but I think it was in Alberta. He was born on February 16th. He has black hair that is sort of salt and pepper now. He has a beard and mustache and glasses. He is about 5'11" and has brown eyes. He likes to paint and draw, and he spends all his spare time fishing. He is a barber, but is slowly becoming one of the most known artists in town. Shawna and I call him badger. He doesn’t mind at all, that’s just the type of cool guy he is!
