Here's an interesting link for Wonderland Mall in Livonia. Only problem is the mall NO LONGER EXISTS! It closed early this year. I'm not sure if it's been demolished yet or not, as I rarely travel the intersection of Plymouth/Middlebelt Roads. Speaking of that, I've always wondered if Middlebelt is one word or two. I've seen it both ways, depending on location. I always use and say it as one, because Middle Belt just looks stupid. Funny, there is no Inner or Outerbelt Road.... yes I know that was a horrible pun.
On an unrelated note, I will be once again going back to a friends only mode. The band voting will stay open for all, but every other entry after this will be visible to the 30 or so on my friends list. If you want to be added, leave a message here, and you never know, I might just do it. |

Such a nice day outside. Took a short ride to South Lyon, to get some sun. They have this nice park near 10 Mile/Pontiac Trail, with a hill! Hills are underrated, even though I hate driving on them.
I'm taking a look at amiannoying.com They added some new celebrities, and even new collections. The latest collection is Porn Stars who think they can sing! Yippee! Only 6 celebrities are in the category right now. Two worth mentioning are Andrea True, who sang the mid-70s disco classic "More, More, More", and Paris Hilton. Speaking of the Hilton sisters, I'm so fucking sick of them! Ever since that fucking video, they won't go away! And another thing.... what kind of a name is Paris? Notice how people name their kids such stupid names! Me thinks they just throw letters together and see what happens. I love saying Me thinks, even though it isn't gramatically correct...
Anyone recommend some good movies? I haven't been in ages, mostly because I'm sick of all the sequals and remakes. Is Hollywood that desparate? |

Uh oh.... the evil Jessica strikes again. Good think I didn't give her a chance to say much at all. She stopped bothering me for a while, then all of a sudden came back.
In other news, my mother called again, and again I didn't pick up the phone. Someday I'll talk to her, but not for a while. She doesn't understand that I can run my own life. |

My mom just called, but I didn't feel like answering the phone. She has wanted to talk to me about a certain subject for the past week, and even though I say don't talk to me about it, she still attempts it. |

I'm gonna let all of you in on something. After hearing this, if you never want to talk, or think I'm strange or crazy or whatever, I'll understand. Here goes: Other than the people online, I don't have any real friends. Why you ask? Well, it various on the situation. There are times where I just don't fit in, we get into a huge argument, the person hurts me very bad after I tell them deep secrets, or we just lose contact. Yeah, I'm sure you think that is weird, but it's true. Many people in my situation wouldn't admit to that, but I am. Why do you think I mention so little about other people? In fact, the only two people on here I have talked to on the phone are Erin (queenstevie13) and Karen (gypsyheart83). The good thing about Karen is that she lives close, and we may hang out next week. That would be lots of fun. We talked on the phone for almost an hour a few nights ago, and had a great conversation. I sure hope she doesn't mind me talking about her in my journal.
Oh well that's all for now. I'm going to go off on my own for a while. Depression sucks, let me tell you. |

I'm uploading some CDs to the computer. Right now the CD is the 1968 classic In-a-Gadda-da-Vida by Iron Butterfly. I think there's a way to actually do a playlist thing with Windows Media Player, but I'm too lazy to check right now. |
