Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jounouchi blushed, taken aback, "I-I just have nothing better to do...!" he crossed his arms and looked off to the side stubbornly.
((You don't need to make excuses for them. Go ahead and be rude. Tell them that you like your family and want to spend more time with them. ^^ If they don't understand that's their problem.
Oh, and that's too bad that you got into a fight. D: ))

"Or maybe it's more like I prefer hanging out with you compared to Otogi. And Honda's just getting on my nerves right now." Jounouchi glared, keeping his arms crossed, "Or maybe it's that I'm worried that you'll run into a friggin mirror again." he said sarcastically.
((Well, not yell persea but... don't let them affect or decisions, since they're your decisions afterall? ^^;; And ew rap! D: And yay black! biggrin Don't a lot of rappers wear black though? o.o))

Jounouchi blinked. He had been completely sarcastic, more making fun of Malik for running into the mirror than anything, "U-Um yeah... worried I guess..." he rubbed the back of his head awkwardly.
((I'm sure you will eventually be able to feel indifference to it all. ^^ I know you can do it! Gambatte, Akira Chan! biggrin ))

((Wait, wait, sorry, I'm being retarded... I um... don't get what Malik just said. XD;; Is it like a phrase or something? I don't think I've ever heard it before...
Oh, by the way, I got in a car crash yesterday. D: I was with my half-sister Julie (she's 36 and a counselor at a different high school than mine) and her daughter Taylor (one of my twin neises who read the Yami no Matsuei manga, who's 11). See, Taylor had dance lessons that day, but Julie promised to help me get a bunch of things prepared for college because I was accepted into my choice college a couple of weeks ago, so I met them at the dance studio and we were gonna drive to their house after that. On our way back, Julie was driving, I was in the front passenger's seat, and Taylor was directly behind me. I still don't know exactly what happened because I wasn't watching the road or anything, and there's like some weird conspiracy about a tow-truck driver saying we were changing lanes, even though both Julie and I am certain we weren't, but we got rear-ended really hard (even though we were going pretty slow at the time because we were near a red light) and the car got pushed into a bunch of trees. I hit my head on the side window pretty hard (it still hurts pretty bad when I press on it or open my mouth wide) but was pretty much okay. Julie wasn't hurt at all, but Taylor got a concussion because she was sitting right where the vehicle struck. D: It was really scary; I just looked back to see if she was okay and her lip was bleeding and she looked all dazed, not to mention my seat had come unbolted and fell back on her, crushing her legs awkwardly up to her chest. I was about to take the seat off her but I then I wasn't sure if her neck was hurt, but then a bunch of people ran up and they took the seat off her so... anyway, we all got ouf of the car. The other driver was completely fine, but Taylor was in bad shape. She went to a hospital downtown and since I'm a minor and I hit my head, I had to go to a hospital too, though I went to one a lot smaller though nearer since I was able to walk and wasn't disoriented or anything. It was my first time being in an ambulence, but they didn't turn the lights on or anything and I was allowed to sit in the chairs instead of laying down on the bed thing. Anyway, I was stuck in the hospital for a long time (my mom met me there) getting kat scans and stuff. I really just wanted to see if Taylor was okay, but I was in there for hours. Finally they let me out after they were sure nothing serious was wrong, so my parents and I went to visit Taylor at night. She's pretty okay now. She's having some memory problems. She didn't remember any part of that day before the accident. She at first thought that her twin sister was in the car with her instead of me, and she kept forgetting short-term things. So she would ask a question, get answered, then a few seconds later ask it again. That's gotten better though, so she and she's starting to remember things now like who her teacher is and how old she is and all that kind of stuff. She had a mini seizure though. D: It was so scary. I wish I had sat in the back instead of her... The memory thing and the seizure are the worst, though she also has a fat lip and a couple other cuts and she had to wear a neck brace for a while until they made sure her neck was okay. I'm still kind of worried, but seeing her okay helped a lot... anyway, I kind of felt like I needed to tell a friend about it to get it off my chest, so I hope you don't mind that I ended up ranting to you. XD;; I don't like to tell my real life friends things like this because they get overly-worried about me so easily... so yeah, sorry for going on and on... XD;; ))

((Ah, okay. XD;; Funny thing was, even though the words were mixed up, it still seemed like a phrase that somehow made sense... in a way. XD;; ))
"I... I guess..." Jounouchi said, blinking in confusion. What was that all about?
((Well um... this is the fifth serious accident I've been in... ^^;; No, it's not that Arizona has horrible drivers (though we do run more red lights than any other state... by the way, I've never been in an accident that involved someone running a red light) it's just that I seem to have horrible luck with that kind of thing... XD;; First time was with my mom, other driver's fault. I was too young to remember though. Second time I was with my brother, his fault, when I was about seven. Third and fourth times were with my sister, both pretty recent. One was her fault and one wasn't. Then fifth time was this incident. And my parents wonder why I don't wanna learn to drive? XD;; I mean... my mom's only been in one accident ever and my dad's never been in one... my mom's 50 and my dad's 60... I have terrible luck with cars! D: Then there was the go cart incident... *shivers* Only time I ever drove a go cart, the wheel would not turn left... I had a friend in the cart with me and she couldn't get it to turn left either... we crashed like five times and got banned from the go carts for an hour. XD;; They didn't need to ban me though... I'm never driving a go cart again... (I think I was ten or so at the time...)
Aaaanyway, they are kind of scary but... I guess it's more shocking than anything. And we might have to go to court over who's fault it was... I'm not sure yet. We also might go to court to sue the company that made her car, because seats aren't supposed to come unbolted, even in an accident, and that definitely made things worse for Taylor. She seems to be doing better now, but I'm am worried... turns out she couldn't solve a simple math problem today, so she might have to go through some rehab... oh, and I found out that I got a cut on my head that I didn't even know about. XD;; The top of my hair was crusty and there was some white stuff in it. Turns out Taylor's window had shattered and some of the glass had gotten into my hair and cut my head. I didn't even notice it, but I think I bumped my head in that area too, because it feels like a bruise when I press on it... and really... I do have plenty of people to talk about it with... my mom is such a blabber mouth she's already told just about every member of my family... I've had people calling and asking if I was okay that I didn't even know that they knew about the accident. rolleyes My mom's always like that. She told so many people when I had to get surgery even though I asked her not to. *sigh* She'll probably end up telling at least one of my friends, then it will end up spreading to the rest...
And really, thank you for reading and your kind words. It helps a lot. ^^ It's nice to know that the two of us can always rant to eachother. <3))

"Stop calling me that!" Jounouchi huffed, following Malik into the kitchen.
((Well, I'm almost 18 and all I have is an expired permit. XD;;
I like bumper cars because you can crash without worrying about anything. XD;; *fails*
And thank you for um... hoping that Taylor is okay. XD;; She is getting enough prayers though because my entire family is avid Christian.
As for my mom, I confronted her about the blabbing thing once and she said that it makes her feel better to tell people about things, so I really can't blame her... but still. XP I wish she would just keep to herself about things involving me.
And yeah, my head's fine. It was just a tiny little scab. I didn't even notice it until it had scabbed up. There might be some glass dust in my skin but it's not dangerous or anything since it's just the top of my head. The kat scan didn't catch it or anything. *shrugs* The big bump on my right temple from hitting the window is the real pain. It hurts everytime I try to eat or yawn. XD;;
And really, you've helped a lot. Thank you. <3))

((Ehh... haven't heard a word about that. XD;; What do you mean by "item leakage?" I haven't been on all day until now and I don't really go into the forums so... yeah. XD;; ))
"P-p-pet?!?!" Jounouchi was furious. Of all the insults, Malik just *had* to pick that one. He ignored the Pocky.
((The bump will probably stop hurting within a week or so... it's really a pain washing my hair and brushing it while trying not to hurt myself though... XP
And OMG! Taylor got released from the hospital today! X3 The neurologist said her brain looked completely fine, so she got to go home. She needs to go in for another checkup in about a week though. Apparently she's still having trouble solving some simple math problems, so she might need some rehab, but overall she's fine. <3 I'm so relieved.
Oh, and my parents went to look at the car today why I was at school. They said that they were shocked that someone wasn't killed for how bad it was. O_o Apparently *both* of the front seats had come unlatched, and the trunk was completely smashed into the back seat. I didn't look at the car much; didn't realize how bad it was. o.o It seems like a miracle that we got away with so few injuries now... *shivers*
But yeah, head doesn't hurt quite as much anymore, though school really sucked today. Over the weekend a Freshmen ran out into the middle of the street during a football game and got hit by a car. He died over the weekend also, so the entire day was really depressing. It was just like... a weekend of tragedies...))
