| its almost 2am. i havent slept all weekend. everyone else in my house is asleep. hell, even my insomniac stepfather is asleep. i am exhausted. i want sleep. my body is aching im so tired. im also sick because i havent gotten sleep in so long. and i cant fucking sleep! i havent had caffeine at all today either. just water and milk. this is annoying. hey, i just yawned. yay! i guess thats a good sign. anyway...
for those of u who actually didnt know, my birthday was friday. im now 16! yay! this has been a sweet ass birthday weekend. ive had a blast. ya know what, i might not b falling asleep cuz im on such a high from the weekend. hmm, who knows. anywho, my birthday itself was pretty damn fun. babysat in the morning. i babysat for these ppl all week. 2 kids, about 21 hours, got paid $200.  then went out to lunch with kurt and marvin. haha wow. so fun. i <3 them. went up to x and saw scri and tom. if i heard them correctly, our spring show, as of now, is past the cappies deadline, meaning either fall show is our cappies show, or no cappies. then there was something else about how closing night is ursuline prom and schmu had confirmation and would miss opening night. so hmm. should b fun. drew came over that night. we hung out. gave me a present that his mom told him to give me. twas a brand new vera bradley purse. we decided that his mom likes me. yay! i also had a greys anatomy craving that night so i went out and bought season 1 on dvd. i watched 2 episodes that night. 1 saturday and 6 tonight. i love that show. officially obsessed. we also stopped by my friend's, tiffani, work and surprised her. god i miss her. good times.
saturday night was the party. i had a blast, minus a few times of me getting yelled at for others retardedness. thank you all for the presents! im doin thank you cards this week sometime. if i dont hav ur address, lemme hav it por favor. we ate our hearts out. haha yummy. towards the end of the night i was kinda tired of the party and just wanted ppl to leave cuz i got a bad headache but instead of kickin em all out i just grabbed a few ppl and went and roasted marshmallows and made smores out at the firepit. i didnt tell anyone, other than drew and tiffani who came with me, where i was. i had a headache and just needed to get out of my house, which isnt very big at all and had 25 ppl in just my family, living and dining rooms, which kinda are just one big room, but still small, for 25 ppl. it was good. thank you all for coming!! <3<3
today. cleaned up from the party. holy crap. that was fun. :P. it actually wasnt that bad. but anywho, drew finally gave me his present and took me to see cirque du soleil: quidam!! omg. AMAZING! they hav a TURN TABLE! and they used it!! it was amazing. the acts were pretty sweet too. if u can go see it, go. there really arent any bad seats, just some better than others. dude, it was so much fun. no a/c in the tent, so if u go, wear the least amount of clothes possible without looking trashy. we also went at 1pm in the summer in cincinnati. the seats r kinda close together too, but youd live cuz did and i was in heals, long black pants and long sleeve shirt. i LOVED it! fav set piece: there were 5 tracks at the top of the tent for the acts with anything that needed to b suspended from the ceiling. i stared at that thing for a long time cuz it was facinating, obviously. on each track were 2 supports. on one of the supports, the end of the wire, that the apparatuses were attached to, was attached to the support and controlled how high up or low to the ground the apparatus was. and the other support had the pully and controlled where on the stage, or over the audience, the apparatuses were. and since they had to change the apparatuses for each scene, the supports would go "backstage" and the crew ppl would detach and reattach watever needed to be changed. hehe. so cool. i would go see it again in a heartbeat. like seriously, yall need to see it.
one thing i realized this weekend: a lot of ppl care about me. correct me if im wrong. or i atleast hav a lot of friends that i think care about me. saw so many ppl this weekend cuz it was my bday. had a blast with em too. like y would ppl see me and celebrate my existance if they didnt care? dunno. just one of those random revelations that i have. ive had a lot of them this summer, but im not gonna go into all that cuz i already hav in other entries. 
driving test tuesday at 9am. not gonna b able to practice maneuverability in my car tho. oh well. practicing would b like studying, and i usually dont study before tests, so y should this b any different? *gulp* lurb.
im actually tired. so im gonna go make a lousy attempt to sleep. love yall!! | | |
| the summer is almost over. and wat a summer it has been.
its been one of those summers that you wont ever really forget. ive come across a lot of realities that have changed me, in my opinion, for the better.
ive revisited some issues that ive had in the past, particularly issues with my dad. i feel like there is going to be something big that happens between him and i within the next year. i feel as tho were either goin to reconcile our differences, at least to the point where i can somewhat be apart of the howetts again, or were just gonna go our separate ways. we havent really done anything different than we hav in the past, but i just sense that something will happen. well see.
ive grown closer to a lot of ppl. a few in particular, you know who you are. for the first time in a long time, i feel secure. i feel as tho there are ppl who care for me and love me for who i really am and will be there for me no matter what. thats a really great feeling. i havent felt like that in forever. and it feels amazing. its like i can finally let my guard down and just relax and enjoy life as it comes. dont worry about the past or the future, just the now (Sweeney Todd, Blessing of the Stage, Fr. F's sermon comes to mind about "Staying in the Now"). i hav had the most difficult time trusting ppl since my parents split. i built up this wall and never really let anyone in. and since this wall that ive had built up around me for so long has gone down, ive been able to trust ppl and develope true, genuine relationships with others. ive been a lot more open and willing to tell ppl things and introduce them to others that i would hav, in the past, gone out of my way to make sure that they didnt meet or find out. i mean, hell, before i left for bama, drew and i went out to dinner with my dad. that was a huge step for me. i think thats y i think something will happen with my dad and i soon cuz i was able to take that step and introduce him to one of my friends, a serious boyfriend at that. the evening didnt go as well as i had hoped it to, but still, just me even letting my dad meet and hav dinner with drew was huge.
i think the future holds some challenges for me, but i think that i can face them head on and not be afraid. because if things dont go so well, i hav ppl who will b there for me and help me get through the rough patches. and that is an amazing feeling. | | |

its mostly a party for my 16th but also an end-of-the-summer/everyones going away to college thing too. Must read "DRESS" and "RULES" sections!
it is basically going to be TXers and ultimate ppl there. if u talk to any tx/ultimate ppl that i know, and i like, tell em about it and to email or call me. this kinda leads me to my other thing...
if u wanna invite other ppl u can...but they must b approved by me, mainly because i can only have so many ppl at the party and dont want a shitload of ppl showin up, especially ones i dont know. if u dont ask me and u bring someone else, i dont wanna b a bitch, but i might kick em out...and i definitely will if i a) dont know em or b) dont like em. 
bring whatever you want (excluding alcohol, drugs, etc.) like any video games, other games, water balloons, cornhole, anything to make it fun. this is going to be at my house and for those of you who hav been to my house know that its not exactly a party house. i do hav a basketball court and a firepit incase anyone cares.
DRESS: i want this to be a fun time, but also classy. no clothes with holes (including shoes), stains, faded colors, anything that isnt the way u bought the clothing, or something that makes makes the clothes shit according to my standards . i will b slightly dressed up, as in nice pair of blue jeans, belt and a collar shirt. GIRLS: kinda the same as me. u can wear a sundress or something similar if youd like. GUYS: since most of u go to x, basically x dress code, but u can wear a nice pair of jeans if u desire. i love you all dearly, but no exceptions. there may be water stuff at the party so its proly a good idea to bring a bathing suit.
RULES: mostly my moms, but one is mine: this will b a drug free party...which yall proly figured if u read everything up to this point. No alcohol, drug, cigarettes and all that. I hate the smell of smoke and don't wanna babysit any drunks or druggies. I don't care if you're legally allowed to smoke, drink or anything else, i dont care, its not gonna happen...period. and my rule: no pda. i dont wanna see yall playin tonsil hockey, do it on your own time.
rsvp by either leaving a comment, calling, emailing, or any other way u can think of. and please lemme know asap if youre coming. if u gots any questions...lemme know! much love. | | |
| im listening to 'miss murder' by afi from their decemberunderground cd. my comp isnt letting me put the thingy up. its a kickass song and im kinda obsessed with it.
so...i really havent been able to sleep  im really kinda, well i dunno. this whole name change thing has brought up a lot of old feelings and memories, and not good ones i might add. wenever id fall asleep and have a dream, its about one of the times id like to forget. and *shivers*, its not good. im frickin loosin sleep over this. i mean, hell, this post is at like 630am. im never up this early in the summer. its bad. i need to just get it over with.
on the topic of just gettin it over with...i talked to my dad last night. heres wat i remember of our convo:
"hey dad. it's emily. how are things?"
"not too bad. and yourself"
"about the same"
"so whats up?"
"*sigh* have you check your email lately?"
"yes. i have."
"so you know whats goin on, right?"
"yes"
"how come you didnt email back?"
"i'm chewing on it."
"o ok. *silence* well ive got the majority of the paperwork done and would like to have it in the works by the end of the month. *silence* do you know how the process works?"
"no. not really."
"ok, well since i am a minor i would need the consent of both of my parents. so both you and mom would have to sign documents saying that youre ok with me changing my name. if you dont consent, mom already has, you would have to appear in court and testify as to why i shouldnt change my name." (wow i just got goosebumps when i wrote that...more memories, bad)
*silence* *sigh* "well i can sign the papers this weekend if youd like me too"
*choke* "so youre consenting?"
"yes."
thats not all of the convo but the rest was just explaining how you hav to sign the documents cuz its like u cant just sign em at ur house, you hav to go down to the probate court, be swarn in, and sign them with the deputy clerk as a witness. yes, its slightly complex. i didnt say much in return to his "yes." cuz i didnt know wat to say. i wasnt expecting a yes.
but my dads consenting. part of me is relieved and happy...but the other part of me is upset. like, he didnt try to put up a fight or anything. thats uncharacteristic of him. like im glad hes doing it, it makes my life easier knowing that i dont hav to tesify against him in court(...again ). but im upset because the whole reason im changing my name is cuz i dont feel apart of the howett family, but do of the rainwaters, and in him not putting up a fight is like him confirming that im not apart of the howetts or he doesnt want me apart of it. no matter wat age u are, its not exactly a realization that u wanna come across, but at 15? *sigh* i guess a small part of me hoped that he would fight it cuz he still wanted me as apart of his family...that part is getting the best of me right now. 
i really need to figure out what i want. no, i know wat i want. and i know its gonna hav its repercussions. im afraid of the repercussions. i just hav to deal with em and come to terms with em. and im getting ready to cry so ill end this now. | | |
| oy. so a lot has been goin on the past few weeks.
phils saturday, frickin sweet! i had lots o' fun  i got thrown in the pool, i was upset at first, but then i was like meh, watever and jumped back in
i also finally signed up for drivers ed classes. yay! well, not really excited about doing em, but i dont hav much of a choice cuz if i waited to get my license until i was 18, i wouldnt even b living in the state anymore cuz i turn 18 freshmen year in college.
also, in my family its kinda tradition that once the kid turns 16 they get a car. well guess wat folks...i aint gettin a car...im gettin a truck thats as of now anyway. 1996 gmc sonoma. i dont want a truck. picture me, driving a truck...no. but if i hav to meh, fine. me, pulling up into ursuline everyday in a little truck. haha! oh god, that would b a trip. and if im not redneck as is...oh boy. we shall see.
another big thing thats come back up recently (i havent known yall since it first came up 4-5 years ago) is the topic of changing my name. yes, em how may no longer be em how. id be keeping my first and middle name, but changing my last name to rainwaters (my mom's last name). yeah, ever since i started living with my mom, my dad and dad's side of the family basically disowned me and didnt, and still dont, really want anything to do with me. so im like, hey, they dont consider me to b apart of their family, why carry their family name? why not carry the family name of the people who actually consider me to b apart of their family? It wouldn’t b for a while that it would happen cuz wed hav to get documents and go to court and blah blah blah and on top of that my dad would hav to agree to it too, or we hav to sue him to get it changed. yeah, should b fun. ive been wanting to do it for a while and my mom said shes willing to stand by my side.
anywho…just figured it was time for an update. leave some love <3 | | |
