Well, I’ll be leaving my grandpa’s house (in West Virginia) in a few hours to be heading back to North Carolina. I had a great trip. Although my brother got on my nerves some, I still love him to death, and I think we’ve had more fun this week than any other week. I’m surprised that we didn’t really argue at all! That’s something hard to believe when it comes to him and I fighting and arguing. It’s practically every day that we argue or do something stupid- something or other.

I hope Grandpa starts to be himself again. You see, my grandma died on April 9, 2008 (3 days after my birthday), and he thinks that it’s his fault she died. She had a stroke and Alzhimer’s (or however you spell that), and the nursing home gave her 60 mg. of morphene (spelling?)- that’s enough to kill a horse! They didn’t do an optopsey (again, spelling?) because she had so much wrong with her.

Hopefully he’ll be doing better by the time we’re gone. His sister-in-law lives right beside of him (they’re in a townhouse), so she’ll keep him company. (She’s my grandma’s sister.)

Well, I’d better go now. We need to start packing up. I’ll post more later on this weekend. I hope that you all have enjoyed my blog so far, those of you who visit often. Thank you for your support!

No! Today is the last day of Christmas break (unless you count the weekend, then Sunday is my last day). I cannot believe it has went by so fast since Christmas! It seems like before Christmas, it was taking forever! But now, it’s gone. Gone, gone, gone.

I hope everyone had a great break though! Hopefully something happened so that you’ll never forget it. Once a day is gone, you can never go back to change it. I never think about things like that until I actually go to write it down or something- how strange.

Everyone should have the Christmas spirit year-round, without the rushing around trying to buy last minute gifts. Everyone should be cheerful, kind, caring, willing to give to those in need. One of my good friends- her house burned down 2 weeks before Christmas. I had bought her a whole outfit due to that since she had nothing to wear. She’s still going through a tough time right now though. Her parents are divorced, and her mom now has custody over her older brother, and she lives with her dad, whose house was burned. But it wasn’t burned on accident- someone actually burned it down. A man that is running from the FBI used to live where she lived, and he visited it while they were gone, and so he burned it down so the FBI couldn’t find any evidence that he was there. Well, it was started by kerosene (or however you spell that), and was started in her room, so her room got the worst of it.

Well, I hope school goes well for those of you still in school. I’m in the 10th grade, so I guess you could say that I’ll be getting out soon. Well, I hope so, at least. My grades haven’t always been so great, and my parents think that it’s because I’ve slacked off in my work, which I really haven’t been. I’ve been like this since the 6th grade. And Christian school isn’t like public school. Our books and all are a little bit higher than public school, but private schools are above us. So, you could say that we’re in between.

That’s all for today. I’ll update as much as possible, so bare with me.

Thank you, those of you who visit my blog. I hope to hear from you all very soon. But for now, ciao!

Hello, and welcome to my new and improved blog! My name is JoLeigh, and I’m 15 years old and live in North Carolina, USA. I’m a sweet, kind, and caring person, and I hope to make a lot of friends. I have some on here, and I thank those of you who have invited me to be your friend.

I’m a big fan of anime. My top three are 1) The Melancoly of Haruhi Suzumiya, 2) Lucky Star, and 3) Pokemon. I started liking anime when I was randomly watching Pokemon. I don’t know how I actually started liking it though. That’s always been a mystery to me.

I love, love, LOVE music! I’m big on Christian artists/bands, such as Toby Mac, Skillet, Jeremy Camp, Barlow Girl, Super Chick, Red, Fireflight, and many more.

I also love Asian/Korean bands/artists, such as Utada Hikaru, Ayumi Hamasaki, Puffy AmiYumi, Epik High, Se7en, and many more (but not DBSK- I’m not a real big fan of them).

Well, I hope you all will become my blogging buddies! I’ll try to update everytime something interesting happens in my life, or if I just get bored, LOL! Ciao!
