Hello, it's been a while. [Bit of a long story ITT]

[ecopper12]

Damn, how long has it been since I've been here?

Anyway, I just wanted to give you guys an update on how I was doing.

Last time I was here, I've had numerous problems that I said to you guys. All of them seem to have gone away, but new ones popped up in their place.

Let's make a list, shall we?

- I failed the Algebra HSA (Standardized Testing) TWICE by ONE point both times.

- I almost had a heart attack one day in Gym.

- I'm not really sure of anything anymore. People tell me things and I sometimes can't decide if they're lying or not.

- Mother and I have been having more frequent fights, causing my Step-Dad to think about leaving one night.

There's probably a lot more, but this isn't a pity party. Why not list some good things?

- I have a lot more friends in school.

- I'm getting better at writing

- I discovered two of my hobbies, both of which I want to major in. (Creative Writing, and Acting/Voice Acting)

- I'm growing more social. I used to be hiding in my room whenever we had company, or I used to stay away from people at parties. Now, I'm talking and joking with everyone.

- I have a lot of new ambitions since I dropped the whole Air Force idea.

- I'm able to take care of myself now.

Six points of good. That's a great thing, right?

Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know how I was doing, in case you were wondering what happened to the resident ecopper.

Well, now you know!

That's awesome copper I'm glad you've gained a fresh outlook and things are looking up for you smile

Be nice to your Mom, you're stuck with her for life!

Yeah, what Scrub said, that's good you've got a positive outlook (:
My dad and I used to fight a lot. I moved away - a looong way from home, so he hardly saw me after that. Best thing I could have ever done for our relationship, we get along much better now.
