ok, update

Well...I now know just how much crap I gotta do this summer as far as school catch-up goes. The guy from the private Christian home school organization (called Veritas) that we're going through to get my high school diploma and finish my school is being really nice and I realize he's also being really lenient due to the "originality" of my situation.
I have almost no records to prove I've done anything. Therefore, this summer, I have to review and take final exams on Algebra 1 and Geometry, begin again and complete Algebra 2, finish Physical Science, read about 50 books, begin Spanish 1 (and over the next year and a half finish 2 years of Spanish), and work on my history. Then during the school year I have double sciences (biology and chemistry), advanced Algebra and Trig, Government and Economics, World History, and other basics, while continuing the Spanish. Next summer I will catch up on Health and Physical Fitness and anything else I need, while finishing up Spanish and anything else that needs work. I'm going to be busy, to say the least. While keeping up with my art work.

Speaking of - I made my first attempt at anime on Sunday, and that was also my first drawing on black paper. I'm not impressed with it, but for being a double first I guess it's not awful. I may try to get a pic of it and put it up here for you guys to see, along with photos of any of my unfinshed paintings. :)

I've been doing some reading lately...I read Animal Farm and I'm working on Dracula. Trying to catch up on the must-reads list for college...I never read some of the really important ones with all those great political statements. Animal Farm is a great short book to read, and if anyone wants it, my best friend sent it to me in a PDF so I could FW it to you.

And while I'm on the topic of email - I have a new Yahoo! ID to replace the old one...It is "blackthornsandbloodyroses" and the email is that @yahoo.com. I'm using gmail more now though...My trust in Yahoo! is forever gone. :/ I don't have hardly any of the email addresses that were stored in petalsofadyingrose and now I have to rebuild and hope I can one way or another locate them all. *snarls deeply* It just ticks me off that Y! would do that.

I gotta hit the sack...Counselling session tomorrow morning. I'm also taking pictures of the new hair for all those of you who keep bugging me. :P :P :P

LOVE!

~Ashley~

email address...

Hey Guys. My Yahoo! email address is down. Please send all emails to ash.lee.shaw@gmail.com until I can get it fixed, k? Also, as I don't have hardly anyone's addresses stored in my gmail account, can everyone please send me a this-is-my-email-address email? I appreciate it. :)
Sorry for the inconvenience. Also, you may want to re-send anything you've sent me over the past four days, because that is how long it's been down.

Thanks and I apologize for Y! being crappy. This is thouroughly disgusting me.

I'm A Warrior - Sort of...








Developing Warrior
65 Virtue, 75 Outer Harmony, 70 Inner Harmony

You are the Developing Warrior.


Virtue: A lower score of Virtue sets you as a kind of person who does the right thing when it suits you, but it tends to suit you more often than not. A higher score means you could be a genuine's Virtuous person. The Virtues are not as concrete as I have attempted to set them out in my test. In making decisions you have the options to personify countless different Virtues and in choosing one Virtue you may instead be indirectly choosing another. Making the right decision is never an easy choice, but at least for you, you try your best to do so.


Outer Harmony: Your Harmony with your body and how you are act in relation to the Warrior are well developed, and worthy of the Way. Perhaps some aspects are a little too esoteric or awkward for you. Maybe one day you will come to understand them fully, or maybe not. It is your Way and no one else's.


Innter Harmony: You are harmonized with the Way within yourself. Some aspects of the Warrior are difficult to live. Work on improving yourself mentally and spiritually and the rest of the Way will begin to reveal itself in all aspects of your life.


You've taken quite the journey down the Way. Probably each day you are discovering more and more about the Way and yourself. There is only one thing really holding you back from the next level. You lack the Virtue to propel you into greatness. You might want to rethink about what is important in life.








My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

whaddya know...my eyes are BROWN

Your Eyes Should Be Brown

Your eyes reflect: Depth and wisdom

What's hidden behind your eyes: A tender heart

Let me note...

Also, having gotten off the phone with my parents, let it be known to all my friends that my mom is denying ever having said any of the things that so severely upset me this morning. I am not here going to retract any of my statements, nor will I under any coercion nor order. I am in no fault here. Also let it be known that two different shrinks have said that I am NOT insane. Therefore, I quite possibly may not be the problem in this situation.
Thank you.

PS

Read the story "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut. It can be found here: http://instruct.westvalley.edu/lafave/hb.html It isn't very long, so everyone do it now! And then let me know what you think.

So yah

I've had somewhat a fascination for blogthings lately. They're pretty cool, and most of them amazingly accurate for random tests.
Things are going horribly with my family. I've just today been accused of having no relationship with God, and that the only reason I left my family and the church is because they are not of the world and I just want to be of the world. Isn't that great? It made me feel just awesome. And if you can't hear the obvious sarcasm in my words, you probably should stop reading here.
I have not been feeling well since about 10 30 am this morning, when I began a conversation with my mom. She pretty much did nothing but make groundless accusations throughout the conversation and proceeded to devastate me with the knowledge that she could even think that I'm so horrible. So I haven't been feeling very good today. I am blown away by the degree of mistrust and faulty assumptions my parents, my mom in particular, have for me. But I'm not going to put you all through my personal hell by relating that side of my life.
One of the things that really depressed me though was that I was supposed to go down to Forsyth today and pick up what few school records I actually have, get my art stuff, and work and see my friends. It didn't happen because my mom flipped out. :(

On a good note, I met some of my new youth group this past week and they seem very nice, and none of them are judgemental or anything, so it's nice. I think I may be the only Goth within a 20 mile radius of where my cousins live, so it's interesting how people look at me. I'm totally cool with the knowledge of how weird they think I am though, because in general, I think THEY are weird! Hah. It's interesting. Pink has been my enemy for a while, and I seem to be surrounded by it - even about 1/6 the guys (and I'm talking about the STRAIGHT ones here) wear the freakin' color. I'm also surrounded by perfect, slender bodies adorned with well-fitting clothes and five-hundred-dollar designer purses. They guys all look like jocks and the girls mostly look like cheerleaders. Black is shunned, and I even had a random guy sit down at the same table with me after Inside Out (the youth get-together at church) and try to convince me to stop wearing black - and sneakily, too. He "challenged" me to not wear black for a week. I'm like, dude, I don't have a wardrobe large enought of non-black clothes. I mean, come ON, people. It's almost laughable. The closest anoyone comes to being Goth up here is punk, and the "p" in "punk" also stands for "preppie". I'm totally serious. I wish I had the money one of these people spends on just clothing and accesories every year. I'd be so rich. But anyway. The people in my small group actually seem to be fairly down-to-earth people, so that's good. I'm glad I didn't get stuck with the girls who put shopping as a HOBBY. No kidding, I watched about 8 of a group of 12 put that down. Is this not insane?!?!!? *growls deeply* I just don't know what is the matter with people, anyway.

Lisa and Catherine and I went to a goat show this past Saturday. What was really funny was watching Lisa freak out over things I'm totally used to. Goats peeing or crapping wherever, for one. LOL. They're animals, they do that! it was just kinda funny. I showed goats and talked to some people about selling my babies. That way my family won't be taking care of them or feeding them. :) I have 1 milker, 3 yearlings, and one baby that I'll be selling for sure - and maybe 1 more yearling. I'm leaving them with my grade milker. Hopefully they'll all sell well.

Oh, and I got my hair cut. I'm going to try to get pics soon. I didn't like it at first, but now I do. It's pretty neat. I'm going to get it highlighted in my dream combo soon too...Dark red highlights and black shadowlights. Pur-tay! :P

I gotta run but thought you guys might like an update.

LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Theme Song...

Your Theme Song is Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd
"There is no pain, you are receding.A distant ship?s smoke on the horizon.You are only coming through in waves."
You haven't been feeling a lot lately, and you think that's a good thing.The comfortable part is nice... but you should really work on numb.
