Dear Diary,

"Okay, so instead of retelling everything all over and over again, I'm putting it into a myspace blog, and then I'm done.

About 2 months ago: Got in trouble for smoking & cellphone taken away -> grounded

About 3 weeks ago: bought an 'oystr' pay-as-you-go-phone

Last Monday: Ditched school with Nehaad; walked up to the shopping center & smoked.

Last Tuesday: Got caught ditching, got caught with phone, got caught smoking -> grounded

Last Wednesday: LOTS of crap happened that I don't feel like talking about, mom found cigs, mom found notebook, mom found pills..bought a new pay-as-you-go-phone

Last Thursday: Caught with phone & more cigs, grounded for eternity, began formulating plan.

Last Friday: Couldnt sleep--figuring out details & packed the majority of what I needed, all except for things my mom wouldnt notice missing

Last Saturday: Quit my job (& cried), talked to ashpiee to see if she'd leave with me (which she obviously would), asked for help from a friend, finished last minute packing, snuck out my window, walked down to the smiths shopping center & got picked up.
Smoked, chilled at IHop & crashed at a friends house.

Last Sunday: talked to ashpiee and arranged to be picked up by her ex/current/on&off boyfriend, taken to the greyhound station, ticket paid (THANK YOU AGAIN IF YOU'RE ACTUALLY READING THIS), went to get on the bus & had missed the 1:40. Ended up taking the 8, arriving in Phoenix @ 4:45am Monday morning

BUS RIDE: I sat next to this French guy who bought me some food and let me sleep on him. Then when he left, this other guy sat next to me and gave me cigarettes and money for the phone & food if I promised to give him a hug. So I did, and that was very weird. But hey, it was a damn hug, so whatever.

Monday: After 9 hours on a bus, I couldnt sit down, so I just kind of stood outside & smoked. I couldnt get ahold of Ashpiee, since she had gone to school, so I was stuck in Phoenix & couldn't get to Scottsdale. I met a bunch of interesting people who helped me find the right local bus to get on, so between walking and bus-hopping, I eventually made it to Scottsdale. Not knowing that Scottsdale is a fuckin BIG city, I was like 25/20 miles away from her house, and finally this one man that had seen me walking around all day stopped and asked if I needed a ride. Desperately, I accepted his ride, and as it turns out, he wasn't a creepo; thank god for that. He bought me a drink, some gum, cigarettes, food & gave me $21, along with his # & said that if I ever needed anything just to call him. SO, Ashpiee didnt get off of school until 2, and didnt walk home until about 2:30, so we agreed to meet at the Albertsons shopping center. She couldn't wait, so after she was on lunch from school, she ditched and came up there. When we saw eachother, we were like tearing and hugging and I think I could have died on the spot. She's so beautiful. Anyway, we bought crap at Albertsons with her 5% DISCOUNT, BABY!! WOOWOO. Haha, then we walked to her house and finished our plan, repacked & condensed & just hung out taking pictures, waiting for her aunt & uncle to go to sleep so we could do laundry and finish packing. We were going to leave her house the next day, because her aunt was paying her back $150, so then we were just going to chill somewhere in Scottsdale until Thursday, which is when she can cash her check, & THEEEEN we were going to greyhound it to SanFransisco.

BUT, my mom called her aunt, who didnt cover for me, and my mom and uncle came and got me. Now I'm moving in with my dad, which isnt that bad, considering I'll be able to drive, so I can visit my friends and stuff.

On top of that, I'm going to see my mom on weekends (like how I saw my dad on weekends before), so I'll be in Southern Highlands every week. Not like people are going to have a chance to miss me that much :0)

I am fuckin BRUISED and SORE and EXHAUSTED from carrying all those damn bags, so I'm going to finish packing up my life & then just lay in bed texting."
