A Huge Thank You

So this past week has been hell for me. My grandma is extremely sick and barely with us, and I just wanted to thank every single one of my friends who's texted me, messaged me, just given me any type of contact telling me they're either praying for me, thinking of me and my family...there are absolutely no words to explain how grateful I am to you guys. This past week has both tested my patience and also showed me who my real friends are, and I...wow. Thank you guys. So much. I love you, and I hope you know that. I'm sitting by my grandma's bedside right now, in fact. She can't really talk to us, but she can hear. And the past couple days I'd whisper in her ear that all my amazing friends are praying for her, and she'd turn her head slightly, and that's how I know she's still mentally with us. Her heartbeat's getting pretty irregular though, and she's basically gasping for breath, but I've only left her side to eat and sleep. After 17 years of her sitting by my hospital bedside, it's honestly the least I could do. This week has also changed my whole perspective on things. Usually I'm the one laying down extremely sick with loved ones surrounding me, now I realize this situation isn't fun at all either.
Thank you to everyone who's keeping my family in their thoughts. I love all of you and appreciate EVERYTHING.
Love always,
Melanie

Holy. Effing. Hoe.

Ready everybody?! On the count of three....1....2....3!!!!!!
YAY FOR MATURITYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Dances around while confetti comes fluttering down on our heads* So man, do I have a long story for you! It basically all starts with me and Alicia planning this AMAZING prom night, limo, dinner, everything. We're getting a huge group together in order for it to be as cheap as possible, right? Right! So we send out a MASS facebook message to all who's invited, and everyone who's planning on coming is super psyched!! Mine and Alicia's MAIN goal is to do all the dirty work since it was our idea, and so we'll make it a lot easier for everyone else, them only having to pay their share! Simple right?
*Annoying buzzing sound from those game show things letting the person know they're wrong*
WRONG!!!!!
So on this mass facebook message, this girl...let's name her Moody. DUDE PERFECT!!! God I'm good. Damn. I'm kinda proud of myself now...anyway!! She gets in on the message, and all of a sudden we get the news that we lost the Party Bus we wanted. So me and Alicia are a little ticked off, but no big deal. Moody starts totally f*cking TAKING OVER and looking for a backup plan...and I hate it when people take control of things that they have no right over. So I kindly text her saying, "Look, I really appreciate you helping us, but this is mine and Alicia's thing and we're just trying to make it easier for everyone else." She replies saying "....ok...i was just trying to help." You know, the whole guilt trip thing.
So I say, "Oh I know, and thanks." Next thing I know, I go to the News Feed on facebook, and she had posted a status saying "Moody *** **** ....going to youth group. bye." Draaaama Queeeen. But wait, there's more!!
So today. (This was all...last night? I think?) My friend Shabnam texts me saying "Hey I need to talk to you about something. Without *** there." So I meet her at our locker, and guess what the hell she tells me? That Moody and *** were talking about me. In choir. And that they have a composition book dedicated to your's truly. Apparently Moody said something along the lines of "Oh my gosh, I can't believe what Melanie's doing lately, I'm not gonna take any of her crap anymore! If she does one more thing like this, that's it, I'm not going to prom with them." And apparently *** said "Oh well if you don't go, I won't!"



...



What the f*ck happened to talking to someone about this to their face? Like...how God damn junior high is that? I remember when I made composition books to pass notes about people. IN SEVENTH GRADE. Way to go, Moody. New low, even for you.
Still not done, by the way.
So, I get home from school, and guess what?! A facebook status update from Moody *** ****!!! It says "Moody *** **** ....had a bad day..." And who comments on it? Her mother. I'm going to copy and paste it onto here EXACTLY how it is, spelling errors and all.


I know you know that I don't need to say anything about this.But you also know that I cannot keep my mouth shut. You need to rise above and move on. Do not cater to this drama. 3 months from now, none of this is going to matter. You will be in California and in college and this bad day won't mean a thing. Create your own happiness and do NOT let other people dictate it for you. You are strong, smart and beautiful, but very opinionated. Remember that our brand of sarcasm does not work for everyone. Other people are sensative and we need to keep that in mind when commenting on things or people. The verbal attack you received today, was unnecessary and wrong and as much as you tried to make it right, the other offending party did not see where they were wrong as well.
Prom will be great, it will be awesome and I will help you create a memory that will last you a lifetime.
I <3>

Bull. Shit.
Let's make a list of the things that don't sit well with me! So, presenting in order of which they appear....Moody's Mom's Lies!!!
1. "Do NOT let other people dictate it for you." So now the Lovely Miss Melanie is the Hitler of emotions? Classic.
2. "You are strong, smart and beautiful." *cough* YOU'RE MOM'S A LIAR *cough*
3. "...our brand of sarcasm does not work for everyone." Sarcasm was not used once in the past 2 days. I know sarcasm. It may take me a while to get it, but I KNOW sarcasm when I hear it. God.
4. "...other people are sensative..." you spelled sensitive wrong, smarts.
5. "The verbal attack you received today, was unnecessary and wrong and as much as you tried to make it right..." Couple things wrong with this. a.) verbal attacks usually include screaming and yelling. I seriously POLITELY told her thank you for helping, but it's mine and Alicia's baby. If I verbal attacked Moody, then she must have verbally killed me. No joke. She was so much worse to me than I was to her. b.) WRONG COMMA PLACEMENT, WHORE. God that bothers me! Just a random little comma in there. c.) She did not try to make it right. If she wanted to make it right she'd talk to my face about it. I hate it when people are passive aggressive. I. Hate. It. Be a real woman and come up to me, say, "Melanie, shit's going down." and just give it to me.
Or I will post a very very detailed blog about you. Just saying.

So that's basically the school drama going on right now.
Everyone...pray for my grandma. We're thinking she's going to pass away tonight, and I just want her to be as comfortable as possible.
Thanks so much guys.
Love you all!
Minus Mr. BRM, SDC, Moody, and all those lovely people out there!
Peace out,
The Lovely Miss Melanie

Dear Asthma,

I know you love me and everything, and you want to stay in my lungs, but I'm kind of tired of you holding me back. I know, I know...harsh...and I know you make me "me," but I want to run, I want to swim, I want to be free to take my puppy for runs. So if you don't mind, please go away. It's hard explaining to people why I can't do things everyone else can, and I hate carrying around my little inhaler everywhere. And when I have to go to the hospital, it's humiliating. Last spring break you made me miss Cancun! WHAT THE FUCKOOKIE?! What'd I do to you? Hmm?? I don't feel...normal. I CAN'T feel normal with you, you're what came out of me having surgery when I was a baby. So not only do I have severe asthma, but I have an eight inch scar on my back!
So thanks for everything, or rather thanks for nothing!
Love (hate) always,
Melanie Johnson

NEW

LAPTOP!!!! Isn't that great?! It's amazing and red and shiny and amazing! Again. :) But...I need to vent about what happened when we GOT it. (My dad took me.)
K. So we went to Best Buy (I'd make a nickname for it...but really everyone knows Best Buy!!) and we were talking to this SUPER nice geek squad guy about this computer. And he was talking about the 2 year warranty. My dad starts like HARASSING this poor guy!! My face turns bright red. My dad has his don't-you-dare-fuck-with-me face on, and I am just dying inside, feeling so bad for this poor man. My dad's career has caused him to become this total skeptic, like apparently EVERYONE lies, and I'm not allowed to say what his job is on the internet. Because...people will find him? Haha, it's not that bad of a career. At all. Again, he's a skeptic.




God save me this summer... two weeks in Arizona with him, little brother, and my father's girlfriend.

Shoot me?
Mel.
Oh! To the few who actually read this, should I start a vlog?! My laptop has a webcam on it and I think it'd be fun! So I don't know.
Hmmm...that's it!
Mellery [like] Celery
P.S. my stupid injured cow of a car's radio is a tard. I will shoot. That. Car.
