AHAHAHA Fail.

I fell out of my bed on Saturday.

Not because of anything important, I mean ya the alarms are ... alarming... ;P but they're not THAT bad.

no, I fell out of my bed yesterday because I had the Falling Dream. GODDAMMIT I hate that dream. You don't understand that dream until you've actually BEEN flying and suddenly falling. And believe me, Hermes and I are chummy and all (because I'm named after his friend) but he's still a mischeivious sunovagun and he DEFFINETLY takes advantage of giving me heartattacks at random times >< (in other words I was at about the height of the Eiffel tower before I started falling and only stopped when I was a foot above a Prius -.-; )

please note my bed isn't very high off the floor, but it IS high enough to hurt like a ... witch when you conk your head against the wood floors D: Also: I love my furniture, and though my chair will stick out like a sore thumb, I'm getting rid of my egg bed and putting in a Daybed  with several ottomans in different shapes, all singularly colored and with sepia tones and golden highlights. I'm basically going to just refurnish them all (buying several things secondhand :) ) and I can't WAIT (it means I get to spend another weekend at the Tower rather than at JLU HQ where I'm the only person under 18 T^T )

Even though I'm spending time at the Tower it doesn't mean I'm getting off easy. Robin made me run all of the throws threw AGAIN (twice on Saturday, once on Sunday) and I had to do my flexibility training more than  usual (I'm suddenly more than thankful that BAtman and Canary do my training, they take it pretty slowly). Speedy stopped by Saturday afternoon (he looks darn familiar, and so did BumbleBee, she even had a really familiar looking cast on her leg), and I got to make dinner for everyone. Just a simple Pot roast but apparently they don't have homecooked meals very often. Which I think is weird because I'm fairly certain Robin has gotten lessons in cooking somewhere -coughalfredpennyworthcough- and I'm a pretty rotten cook in comparison to most people.

Sunday went a bit better but I did wake up to alarms. BEast Boy was made to stay behind with me in case something happened at the Tower, and Ares had kind of forced himself into possession at my high anxiety levels. Therefore I had to much energy and so Beast Boy and I made baklava mmm yum <33 melt your teeth into gooey sugary puddles xD We also made a pretty successful Greek Salad that the Team ate when they got back from a mix in with Control Freak :)

So I  basically trained and got to know the Titans more, spending the weekend there was a real treat, and I'd like to think they want me around a bit more. We're watching a movie: Wicked Scary 1 I think, and if there's time we may watch Wicked Scary 2, but apparently Raven isn't allowed to watch them and has to wear ear plugs and read a book? I'm supposed to hear the story in a few moments so I have to go, but ya, this weekend has been nice :) Cyborg offered to go with me sometime during the week to shop for that bed I want to get and to bring pictures of my egg bed with him so that we can find an offering price at a second hand store :) <3 Second hand stores

Ciao m'dears <3

Seriously: Why is this thing so hard to keep updated?

I forgot to mention that I've had all of this week off intermittenly (It's Exams week -Midterms so the whole High School has off except when they have to come in for midterms) So what was I doing when I wasn't at school?

Studying my bum off.

Dick found my report card in my room and figured out that I'm failing English so he's been standing over me like a damn hawk until I finish all of my reports. He's also been really patient, I'm kind of bad at reading- don't get me wrong I love it, but for one thing: boring books make me slower, and I get tripped up on words really easily. I'm not sure why. We're reading The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton and it's pretty good but I'm not sure why it's so hard for me to read. Dick suggested I read out loud to see if that helps and somehow it has, so I've been reading to him and it's helping me get used to the words. So that's good.

I feel bad that I'm failing my favorite teachers class D: But I really HATE writing essays. and Poetry. friggin Homer. YES I have to read/hear about Odysseus' events again >< and Helen of Troy and ALL that fun stuff T^T can't I get a BREAK from my relatives?

We're supposed to do something about Herc's Trials soon, I hope so. I need to call that big lug, I haven't seen him in a while....

ANYWAYS. I've been doing the studying and stuff, and also I've been getting a lot better at flexibility, I was pretty flexible to begin with (The blessing of being young as Canary says) and so it's not so bad, I just have to stay on top of it so I continue to be flexible as I get older. Something about joints stiffening I think, at least that was what I heard when I tuned back into what Canary was saying.

So that's pretty much what I've been doing all week, and since I was doing that this week, I've gotten the weekend off! :D Which basically just means I'll be hanging out with the Titans this weekend (...the teen ones, not the - ya -.-; I have to clarify these things). Dick promised to let Raven and Starfire take me shopping for a little while xD I think that means we get a credit card and drag the boys along for company?

I have to get teleported down there in a few. Gods I hate that, it's like having my stomach turned inside out, pulled out my mouth with a crochet needle and stuff back down D: not fun.

I think J'onns enjoying sending me though. I keep yelling 'Beam me up J'onny!" I kind of gets this look like he's going to knock me senseless. EXCEPT this one time (not at band camp) he turned into Scotty, with his shape shifting powers XDD I died. Oh gods it was funny and Bats' and Supes' faces were so funny they got so absolutely confused, oh gorgeous moments on board the JLU HQ xD <3

I'm a tad loopy from lack of sleep, headed to the docks for my weekend out on the town~

Not.Such.A.Good.Job.

I am not doing so hot at keeping this thing updated am I?

Quick Facts:
-passing all of my classes with flying colors
-except for English, I'm passing by the skin of my teeth
-JLU training is going really well and Robin has extended an honorary Titan membership for the time being to me
-I've accepted.
-I live off and on at JLU and Titans Tower on the weekends (every other)
-still living with Diana, I just don't see her as much (schedule clashing and all that jazz)
-only recently met Cyborg (and might I just say ... yum :3 )

I'm beginning to get some sort of understanding with Zeus, who has been a really great guy recently. *Great God, and has been helping me control the lightning bolts he gives to me, it's been a really weird sensation because JLU has sent me to Earth for practice (grounding currents and all) and I've basically been struck by lightning and letting the current pass through me in the direction I choose. I get all tingly afterwards and Starfire told me I smelled like bacon afterwards the other day.

I'm not sure if I should be concerned about that or not o.o;

on the TTower note: I've been moved into the Tower in order to act as 'Liaison' to JLU at the moment. Robin has been doing a great job but he's getting overworked as leader, sidekick, and liaison. So since I'm only Liaison (that is a REALLY fun word) and a member, it's easier for me. Basically I just nswer the phone for JLU and tell Robin any news if we need to go somewhere.

Met Cyborg at JLU HQ when Diana was visiting over the weekend. Only managed a squeaky 'Hi' ffff, so glad I didn't start drooling. Seriously: you have seen the guy right? Muscles like a goddamn tiger <3

...I'm going to end that train of thought before I embarrass myself further.

I need to get a tutor for English. Dissecting everything and analyzing it all just doesn't function in my head -.-;

I'll try to update this when I remember, sorry guys :<

Oh! And my room at JLU: I'm sharing ti with Zatanna, she made the wallpaper so that it changes with whoever is in the room/their mood. So if she and I are in the room and she's sad and I'm happy, it will be blue on her side and yellow on mine. but if I'm the only one in there and I'm happy it'll be all yellow. It's REALLY cool.

My room at TTower is really nice too, it's bare at the moment, just some older furnishing, but there's and egg chair and an egg bed both are in muted colors, outsides are brown and insides are a brassy color.  They're REALLY comfy, and the room is lit so beautifully, it faces the sunset :D I just sat in my room and watched in on the window seat my first night there :3

I wish I could just forego school, I may try to talk Diana into getting someone to homeschool me so I can be more involved with the Titans and JLU. It'd be much better than dealing with people at school

on that note:

School Facts:
-Chris and I have been hanging out with Karen a lot (and I found out I know Karen in another way as well)
-sstill gettin harrassed
-I was in the locker room changing for gym and got my head slammed into a locker: fun facts- head wounds BLEED like a mofo. I have a cut that starts at the outside of my eyebrow and goes over my cheek bone because I caught an open locker's latch when I fell. Luck it missed my eye.
-two girls got suspended for that, hopefully they won't be coming back till I'm out of there.
-Also got another gash on my shoulder from one of Dick's fangirls being all sorts of pissy and stabbing me with a damn pencil. What exactly happened to High School being GOOD for you? The result was funny though, Dick was so pissed I was kind of afraid he'd rip the girl's head off, but she just started bawling and ran away. Haha~ Karma~.

Possession Updates:
-more in tune to Zeus now so I can usually control that, though I'm sure I wouldn't be able to if he didn't let me.
-Hades took over for a day last week and I had to stay home (we pass by the cemetery on our way to school every day)
-Aphrodite decided it was a good time ot poke around and I had almost every guy clinging to me a couple days ago, Dick included T^T frickin hate when she does the pheromone thing.
-everything is back to normal at current, no aftermath to deal with (they couldn't remember acting strangely) and I'm not about to bring it up xD

Tata for now then <3

Guess Who Didn't Get Go To School Today?

Good job boys and girls. Apparently Athena left a little somethin somethin for me, I woke up with a crap ton of architectural visuals and a few other things stuck in my brain and basically woke up, sat down, opened a notebook and for two hours sketched things out and it wouldn't stop. It was like a faucet got turned on, I could somehow miraculously draw and I couldn't draw fast enough. As soon as Dick came up, Diana let him in and I was getting so frustrated I was crying (Diana hadn't known, she thought I was just having a slow morning)

So basically I freaked out when she came into the room, acted like a complete bitch snapping at her and the whole time I was sketchy another building with gothic influences. Rick Riordan doesn't even understand when he says Annabeth has an obsession with architecture. Seriously.

Diana made me calm down somehow, I kind of blacked out soon thereafter. So Dick heard my freak out, break down and Diana's talking to me and telling me to lay back down. I didn't go to school because I couldn't focus (obviously) and so for another two hours I stayed in my bed and drew.

and drew...

and drew.. >< my hand hurt so bad.

Finally at 10 it all slowed down and wasn't so pressing. I've doodled one or two small things since then but obviously it hasn't been as bad as waking up panicing that I'll forget the darn things. After I had stopped, a headache started to build up, and I was trying to argue with Diana that I could go into school for the afternoon but I ended up running into a door frame because my vision swam and I well...

I lost the argument after that.

I just laid in bed the entire day in darkness basically. Diana bought this and this for me to listen to while I lay down. the headache finally faded away after a two hour nap from 2-4 and I ate a quick dinner (the only thing I ate all day ... oops) before I packed a weekend bag to go to JLU HQ.

Robin brought me schoolwork and sat with me while I did that for an hour and then I hada sparring match with Canary then Batman which both went horrible -.-;

Now I'm just sore but I'm not tired so I don't want to go to sleep. I think I'll try to see if Vigilante is around so I can watch some Clint Eastwood movies with someone.

I Wonder About Thursdays

Karen came back today (I saw her before school). She ended up spraining her ankle, she says she stepped off a set of stairs to soon but I dunno...

Not much exciting happened today. I think Mrs. D is awesome. Just gotta say that. She's my English and Study HAll teacher, she and I talk a lot and today was no difference but she genuinely showed concern for me (I think she knows about hte girls hasseling me in the Cafeteria) and I dunno, it's nice having a teacher pay attention to the b.s. that goes on in the whole frickin school. For once.

I discovered that my friend Chris has the worst sense of music. Or at least the weirdest: Proof? This playing when I sat down. It's unfortunate that it's kind of catchy....

playing Boom Boom Satellites to erase that from memory now....not working but trying.

Dick (oh god -headdesk-.. ) he came in at the worst part of that song possible for him and basically just stared at Chris and shook his head. Must be a common place thing for Chris to have awful music.

Lots of homework tonight, I'm still working on the handbook and luckily a lot of my school work isn't extremely important or due tomorrow. Athena ended up stopping by for a visit and Dick managed to somehow make people believe I had gotten seriously ill. He got us (all three? would you ocount Athena separately while she was in my body? ) beamed up to the HQ so that Athena wouldn't be bored, and so that no harm could come to my identity and reputation. At least it was Athena and not Aphrodite. Athena must have gotten bored around 4 ish (after 3 and a half hours) and just left my body and let it collapse in one of the hallways.

Apparently Captain Atom (grey/blue suit, army, radioactive, red gloves and an explodey insignia on chest - ohhh look who's been studying her Handbook~ oh ya~) stumbled across my unconcious form and took me to the infirmary ten kinds of freaked out (I don't think anyone had told him about me for one). Basically woke up a half our later after being found (maybe out for an hour?) and Dick took me home to Diana.

Studied the handbook some more but that's all I've really done, and even then my focus wasn't so good. I took a name after Dick left @ 7 and woke up at 8:30 and I plan to go back to bed after this.

Overall uneventful day except for Athena's visit. Diana just came back from Patrol. Talk to you guys tomorrow

Back on Track

We had a two hour delay at Gotham High today, wasn't much of a big deal because SOMEONE named DICK picked me up at 7am anyways and made me scarf down some breakfast with him.

School was basically a free day we did a few problems in Math but overall not much in anything else (only 30 minute classes) and ya boring. Karen was absent from school (she had said she had to do something after school yesterday, hope she didn't get hurt or anything) so Camille and I were hanging out and chatting and doing our homework during BBall practice. Dunno why I stayed since I didn't take Dick's ride. Actually no.

I told Alfred I would walk and Dick got out of the car VERY DRAMATICALLY SCREAMING that I need protection from moronic 13 year olds -facepalm- I had to remind him I was 13 and he retaliated with "yes but I said MORONIC." I don't know whether to be exasperated by him or flattered.

He walked me home. Jabbering the whole way of course, I'm not sure if there IS a way to shut him up, and he stayed for some snacks and helped me scower the JLU handbook. I managed to get about 1/5 of the way through the half I was assigned for this week. Please let me have a Snow Day tomorrow <3

Basically just vegged out talking, watching TV, studying the JLU book, and studying my regular stuff until Alfred came to pick him up after dinner. I'm about to go to bed (late as it is) and am SO not confident in my handbook knowledge. I think I'm 2/5 through now?

Snowday? Please?

JAnuary 11th: no such luck, apparently it usually snows in Gotham but with all the funny weather we didn't get any snow whatsoever on Tuesday. Oh well. Life goes on.

Regular day basically, nothing fantastic to report. Except that I accidentally melted a trey in my hands when Someone tripped me and I got pissed and gripped my trey instead of throwing it when I fell. I'm guessing that's part of why I was so tired, Hephaestus has been dormantly posessing me and I wasn't fully aware.

I was so tired and mad at that point that I just threw the trey out and sat down with Chris and his friends and almost cried. I know it made Chris awkward and all but just UGH. Dick came in a few minutes later and left for a minute or two and came back with a sweatshirt (he says it's a gag gift from Wally - I'm confused about that one atm...) he let me wear because I was wearing my lunch all over my shirt.

I hate new-kid learning curves. High schoolers and middle schoolers don't change, whatever school you go to.

Also figured out that Hades has atleast one Fury in the school blending in as a girl to spy on me. -.-; That's always a pleasant thing to find out. I opted out of a ride home because I'm thinking that's part of the problem with every other girl in my grade (them thinking I'm to close to Dick or something) and just walked home, or atleast I would have if Karen hadn't driven by me and made me get in the car. It's nice to have a few friends at least.

Diana didn't make it much better, I had to go through all of the gods, reflect on Hephaestus' powers, explain Furies over and over and over and just...Mental and physical exhaustion coupled into me missing out on dinner too when I fell asleep at 5.
