Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lol, I could ask my teacher, but I'm shy. It's okay, I'll just look it up eventually. Thank you very much though.

History was easy for me, for the most part. It's a subject that interested me. I got a B in it. And yeah, that's how they come up with the grade in at least the city/region/state anyway, I believe. Unless it's like that in most high schools, I don't know. Actually, it was like that in middle school too.
Bad luck in math for you, haha.

Hmm....you get mono from kissing and...what else?

Ah, that sucks. The only internal bleeding (er, if you're allowed to call it internal) is after my wisdom tooth surgery this summer. I had to bite on a gauze for a couple of hours so the bleeding areas of my mouth would clot. Also...I may have internal bleeding somewhere else, but I've been ignoring it...I've had different things like this before, and they end up disappearing. I'm prone to having bouts of minor medical problems that either go away or stay dormant. xD

I went blind twice o.o (username coincidence, I don't think it was based off those experiences)

*puts hands up in the air* Yokies! whee Wanted to xD

Oh, interesting. Yeah, I have always slacked with the reading. It wasn't until last year I studied the textbook a lot, when we had to. I didn't read as much as I should have, but I still read a good amount for a class, I think. My favorite Chapters were the Revolution, WW I and WW II. Though now because I've seen it multiple times it might be less interesting for me. I finished my bulk learning on those subjects in 11th grade. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean I haven't forgotten things or don't know certain aspects of those subjects, because that certainly isn't the case. There's so much involved in historical subjects sometimes, like how there's 5 million stories about the holocaust, and each country and its individual role in that time. College courses would go more in depth than in high school.

Anyway, aha. That's the key word: Saliva. I have this weird thing in my brain where I try to connect with things, but I fail in that moment. I don't think it's my intelligence but rather other things in the environment combined with my experiences or lack thereof...o.o

Oh, I ate solid foods within a few days, like meat and...not much else, and a week later I was eating chicken tenders and fries again. I had a fair amount of swelling for almost a week, and a little after two weeks everything was better. The ibuprofen helped a lot. (Was on a medication to prevent infection, inflammation pills, pain pills, and prescribed mouth wash)

No doctor. I've not regretted so far not saying the problems I've had and fortunately they've gone away, became a thing of the past. There was a period in 7th grade where I had to pee a lot and was losing a bit of weight, so I drank a boat load of water every day to maintain my weight and then hide the stash under my bed >.> I could drink 20 bottles a day, even if that was dangerous. That problem got resolved in 8th grade. My theory is that there was some tear in my kidneys or something because when I went that summer there was microscopic hematuria (blood) in my urine, but my doctor decided there was no need for an ultrasound since I had had one when I was six and it was fine. Also, about 0.1% or 1% of people have this condition for no reason. When I reanalyzed everything, it's possible I further contributed to my excessive urination for a little too long, but I was making sure, and eventually I cut down on the water when I knew I could maintain/gain weight without it. Also I didn't have to hear from my parents about how I was going through water like crazy, being secretive D; >> I told them "Drinking that much water has become a habit"...well it is a habit for me to grab a bottle when I'm bored, but drinking THAT much? It was no habit. Butt...that was years ago.

Yes, it was scary. The blind story I will tell another time. I already gave you so much to read xD

Ah, the presidents backstory. Yes. I was surprised to learn in the class about the approval ratings of some specific presidents. In my class, John Adams was shined a very negative image on xD. Yes, well I will find out later, I suppose.
No college for you? Why? xD

Yeah, I know I'm not the only one. Although I may be one of the few people to have played so few games, huh? xD *totally clueless as a gamer*

Mm...McDonalds. I go there on Monday's and Friday's because I like them that much. Always Chicken tenders & 2 large fries, and an ice cream cone usually. And yeah, I don't know what it would've been like if I had been given a much less severe pain prescription or none at all. I had to keep taking the inflammation and pain meds because I was experiencing swelling and some pain, even if it wasn't really bad, but at times I knew if I hadn't taken them when I did it'd get super bad.

Yeah, my doctor would have been concerned. I was a bit surprised and relieved she didn't refer me to a person at the hospital to get tests. I drink much less water now. I probably only had one bottle of water today, if that. One more will be at dinner, something else to drink at the end of the night, maybe. The average is about 3 probably.

Oh, okay. I will tell you the story later ^^

Yeah, I'm doing fine in College so far. I have college tomorrow xD...Mondays through Thursdays. We had our psychology exam last week as well as a computer performance exam. I think I did well on the former and got a 100% on the latter, so yay. I didn't get much accomplished this weekend -,-
But I understand the lack of motivation. If it were up to me and not society, I wouldn't go to college. College probably wouldn't exist o.o...not that education isn't a great thing, of course.

I've liked video games. I just wasn't around people enough when I was younger to care, and my parents were basically the "Do whatever you want type", which unfortunately did not bode well for me because my doing whatever I wanted included obsessions and compulsions, not exploring new things such as games. Also, I didn't assign sentimental value when I was younger to things due to lack of experience/parents not instilling creativity/a judgmental mentality, I guess you could say. When Pokemon first came out, before I watched it, I was at camp and people would bring their Pokemon cards and I would think it's stupid even though I never watched it. It's partially how I am today, minus the overly judgmental part. I'm clueless about many things people are passionate about because I grew up not partaking in those fun experiences, or when I did, not assigning value to them or thinking it was stupid too. I was way too serious, shy, not a go getter, and as I said- obsessive/compulsive.

A couple years ago, I used to be skinny. 5'7 125 pounds. Now I'm just ever so slightly taller and about 150, so I look normal but my stomach's a bit chub. I also have skinny arms xD...but yeah, last year is when I really gained the weight, and I got up to almost 160 by this July, but after my wisdom tooth surgery I lost a bit and have remained around the same or a little less since then. My months long weight gain came to a halt. xD

Yeah, my doctor ordered a Vitamin D test, which determined I had a deficiency, so I've been taking D3. She's really nice and cares. She's been my pediatrician since I was a kid. My mom gave her my graduation picture o.o -.-

(Sorry it look long to reply. Sometimes you need those rest periods before you write another long response xD.)

Lol yeah, I talk in a weird way at times xD...I don't know any other way to put it though. Yeahh, money is always an issue it seems. One of my friends can't get in-state tuition and therefore can't go to college because she wouldn't come close to covering the payments, and she can't apply for loans either *cough* You can make a logical guess why that would be >> I happen to be lucky because I have a full scholarship to go to my community college with all my classes I take paid for, including special fees though not books (no big deal there!) I could technically take the max load of classes and it would all be covered so long as I finish the semester with a 3.0. I'm taking four classes right now. The college cap adviser at our high school would send emails for scholarships. I ignored every single one of them xD...a lot had requirements that you just didn't meet, even though there were lots of smaller ones you could apply for. Then again, I didn't look at most of them, so I don't really know but only for the ones I looked at. I let the normal stresses of school get to me too easily xD..but I am lucky. I don't know what I want to do though >>...srsly I have some anxiety issues with things though...or more OCD..whatever you want to call it, lol

Yes, I am an only child. Closest I got to having a brother/sister was when I was 3 and my parents were considering adopting. But they didn't. xD. Things could've been a lot different if they had. I wonder what a sibling would think/have to say about me too, and how I'd feel about them
I never did anything dangerous like a lot of kids. The most is that I may contemplate trying pot to see what it feels like in the near or not so near future. It was brought up the other day because someone had it with them in pill form I believe. Also, my parents are somewhat anti-social so we don't really go places but to eat nor visit with family and friends but occasionally, but my grandma comes down every week on Saturday. I didn't have friends growing up. I didn't care at the time, and too ignorant to care. I felt content enough, even if I wasn't. Friends didn't really matter to me. I had this one good friend through middle school and now I have my few group of friends, but that's about it. I know things would be different if I hadn't met my best friend now, and if I didn't make the friends I did with people online. I'd be more ignorant of society behaviors and pop culture. The happiness factor, probably so too. When people ask you about yourself, you don't want to appear as a social recluse. You want to know in the back of your mind you're not completely alone. Having things to say, having social experience, is important.
You were judgmental, or are you still? You don't seem like a judgmental person online, but I don't know how you are in real life. xD. You're pretty cool here. smile

You were pregnant? I didn't expect that. Do you have a baby boy or girl right now, and if so how old? How's it like being a mother?
Lol I gained the weight senior year though and part of this summer. This is my first semester of college- August 23rd, it started.

xD anemia..that can be worse if it's really low. Yeah, my doctor noticed I looked pale, and she ordered the test. It came back deficient, so I've taken the pills, and got retested. It's in the normal range now, but I'm still taking them. (I don't mind at all, they're very tiny. I take 4 vitamins, it's no big deal. Just swallow.)

It's perfectly fine, it was definitely interesting to read. I've typed a lot too. Do you mind if I reply tomorrow? I feel tired, I suppose.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, but I'm ready now for the long reply xD

You soundd agreeable to me, lol...you're thinking the way I am, and it's like that for me too, as I already said. My dad handed me an email from the college today saying I have to meet with an adviser before October 17th to create an IEP (Individual Education Plan) to keep track of what credits I will need to fulfill my major's program and get assistance in determining a major, since I currently have none, except "Pre Bachelor of Arts." Somewhere around then registration for Spring Term starts. Odd, they call it spring term, but the new semester starts in January or February. I forgot. I looked at the school calendar earlier tonight, but you know how it is when you're skimming something. Even if your brain visualizes the dates/headers, you still might not remember. It's just not concrete/repetitive enough for you yet xD...I remember it's also a 12 week mini-term that starts in early February. Well anyway, I have to decide a major and I don't know what that's going to beee....which might be at the advisement meeting X.x...imagine she asks "So what interests you the most?" Such a natural question to ask. I'll be like "Well....." You see I could tell you my life story about how I've not invested time or energy into something I'm passionate about, and I could tell you Science, History, Psychology, Biology/Animals, Business, medical field and studies specializing in those areas somewhat interest me, and if you want me to narrow it down at the moment then we're back to I really don't know xD...I don't think Fine Arts or Foreign Languages would work, so we could probably eliminate that. Luckily I have that scholarship so far to pay for classes. I guess in the future you could always go to college. Maybe take the time to read and explore your interests, ya know? Pick up a book titled "How to Beat Cancer With Nutrition." Lol j.k, but I have a book called that, it's on my desk actually.

No, they were still able to at that time. They just thought they might've wanted to adopt. I think they got talked out of it though by my aunt because she had adopted and explained the negatives of it, I guess. Not that my aunt was a bad mother, she wasn't. She's a very good person. She just experienced firsthand a child that came from many homes and had a lot of baggage. Quite frankly, my mom and dad had especially then quick tempers, and it might not have been a good idea at all. Plus, I don't know if it would've turned out worse for me. The decision to adopt or not to was a gamble. On the one hand, it could mean a sibling for me, a friend, a positive social influence. The child was going to be older than me. However, there were possible negative implications as well. They chose not to adopt. It probably wouldn't have been a mean child, though.

Yeah, while most kids are out experimenting with these types of things in middle school or latest high school, I skipped out on it. I didn't have friends who actively did any drugs, and I didn't have the opportunity to get my hands on any. The other day the guy had it with him, the weed. As I said, in pill form. If my new friend had tried it, I might've too. Although I kinda promised my other friend I wouldn't...*bad experiences with drugs, even non hardcore ones, people have* I've never been a drug user or the good friend of a drug user, so I can't comment on personal experience on my perceptional true vision of less physiological/psychological effects of drugs. I guess some people it takes a big toll on, and others who don't abuse it it doesn't affect much, at least for weed. But, I don't know. And yeah, I need to get into television and animation series. That's another thing besides gamesss....I'm just clueless with pop culture. xD. Let me ask you a question though, do you know anyone that has barely played any games in their life (-mario and gta and a few other common games I've played).
*needs to work on friendships now* I used to get irritated at people when they act silly, like when they ask a dumb question. A lot back then. People were social; and as we've stated, we were out of the loop. I get irritated at weird things maybe...I'll let you know examples perhaps when they happen. Don't worry, you're not coming off as annoying. It's interesting to read what you have to say.

Wow, that's a lot of weight gain, but still within the normal range of 75 pounds or so. You'll probably lose the rest of it soon enough. My mom commented I looked a bit thinner today or taller. I've been weighing myself every week, so we'll see. I don't need to lose weight though, and I'm not eating any less so there's no reason to. That might be indicative of a problem. xD
It's kind of annoying though, my mom always exaggerates my height by a couple inches. "Oh, you look like you're about 5'10 now." Just because I look taller one day to her.
So, do you feel an incredible amount of love for your baby/unconditional? I suppose your boyfriend makes enough where you are financially sound. Are you living in your own place? It seems like you and your baby are smitten though ^^

Hmm, you aren't the only one. Maybe be brave enough sometime to force yourself to swallow a really tiny pill and then work your way up. Force yourself if you ever want to conquer the fear, or because an online friend made you do it. Lol.
Ah, I see. There are people like that.

Well, looks like I'm finally done typing, lol

Don't know if you like country music, but I like this song- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChPAoacVen4
