I have been with Travis now for 10 months. A long time? VERY long for me. And all of a sudden, his mom decided she didn't like me for some reason so he is no longer allowed to see me. Abuse of power? I think so. I have never done anything to her, in fact I always liked her until here lately. Why is it that she can just all of a sudden decide she doesn't like me, and keep me from seeing Travis? It's not right. She doesn't have to like me. God knows she wouldn't be the first person, but just because of that, I don't get to see Travis. MAJOR ABUSE OF POWER!
Ranting 2:This new school bond
Note: if you're not from around where I live, this will be nothing you will understand.
Alright, here really soon, our good ol' voters around here are going to go vote on the new school bond to build a new middle school for the West Side schools.
They have just fired like 15 teachers from our end of the county because they said they did not have the money to pay all of them. Now they are wanting to build a new 3 million dollar school for the other end of the county. I find it hard to believe that this is possible due to our "shortage of funds".
Then take Mannington and Monongah Middle Schools, Mannington has two floors condemned because they are no longer safe for students. And there are at least two students (there's two that I know of) out of school from there right now because they are highly allergic to cock roaches and the school is infested with them.
Monongah Middle is falling apart and they do not have a gym to play any sports in at all. The new school they are wanting to build on West Side will have two gymnasiums in it. Is this right? I THINK NOT!
Ranting 3:FOOD
This is another ranting that most of you won't understand, but in case you want to try, I'll give you some background information. I have Celiac Disease, which is an intolerance to gluten. Your next question would be: "what is gluten". Gluten is what is found in wheat, barley, and oats. But somehow, someone along the road decided gluten must be put in everything, so when my dad decides I have went too long without eating, he orders me food online, and then I have to make it myself. I have still only known that I have this disease for three and a half months, so I am not completely adjusted and people are not helping any...
As I said, I am not used to my new diet yet and I am not having a real good time getting there. I don't cheat on my diet, despite the many longings to do so, basically because I fear for my life and I remember what it was like being sick all day everyday. My family and people I am close to (except Travis) are sure not helping the adjustment process. My mom and the doctor keep yelling at me because I am losing weight.. well how in the world am I supposed to gain weight when basically the only thing I ever have in this house to eat is rice?? My family goes and gets all this good food for them and then they will eat it right in front of me, and not care in the slightest that it makes me want to cry. Do I tell them this, though? No. Every since I was a little girl, I have had this complex thinking that I have to make everyone believe that I am a lot tougher than I really am. Now that I have come to this realization, I can put it out on the web, but I can't tell my mom that. So I let people eat whatever they want in front of me and pretend like I don't care, when I feel like I am going to explode inside. I wish people could at least try to see things from my point of view and not eat things I used to love right in front of me.
Another thing that really bugs me is being out. I can't really go anywhere for very long because I am not allowed to eat in restaraunts. But when I am out with say my dad (this just happened yesterday) we will be out all day and we will both be starving. Instead of thinking of how I feel, he goes right ahead and gets something to eat and eats it right in front of me. This sucks. No matter how long I am out or how hungry I am, I cannot eat out. You would think that my dad, being much older than me, would have enough self-control to wait until we get home to eat, like I have to do. Instead, he goes right ahead, and even asks me to drive so he can eat!
