I've been really busy lately. Since the start of the new year, I have had less time to be spending on the computer. I have been working out three times a week since Friday, January 4th with my father and the older one of my two younger brothers. We usually go to the gym on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but this week we went on Monday, Thursday, and Friday (today) because my brother said that he had too much homework that night. I also joined the Youth Group (also known as the Teen Action Group) at my church on Sunday, January 6th because I have to do ten hours of community service for a History project. I was a member of the Youth Group when I was in 8th Grade, as well, to complete 25 hours of community service for my Confirmation. There are two different Youth Groups (one for kids in middle school and one for high school). This Youth Group for the high schoolers is much smaller than the Youth Group I was a part of in 8th Grade, but I like it that way. The kids are nice, although a bit weird, and I enjoy listening to their conversations. I have gone to two meetings so far and there will be another one this weekend. I also plan on joining the Junior Art Society (or whatever it's called... a.k.a. the Art Club) after the Midterms. Speaking of the Midterms, I just took my History exam today. It was difficult, but I think I did pretty well or, as least, decently on my part. School is general is always just so time consuming (I'm sure you guys know what I mean), so that's another reason why I haven't really been posting here much lately. I'm always either swamped with studying, homework, projects... anything you could possibly think of. Anyways, I got to leave my school and go home at 9:35 AM today, so that was nice. My father and I went to get my permit for driving today (I know, I know... I'm always behind. You guys probably have or had your Driver's Licenses since you turned seventeen). We brought my brith certificate, my social security card, and my certificate for passing the written test in school last year when I was in 10th Grade. I had to do my sight test, and that went by very quickly. And then, before you know it, I received my permit. I'm scheduled to take my Driving Test on July 18th this year. Maybe I will be lucky, because that's my deceased grandmother's birthday. Perhaps, her spirit will be with me. Anyways, after that, my father I went out for lunch. Then I drove my father's car in circles and a figure eight in an empty parking lot. My father taught me how much pressure I should apply when I step on the gas and brake petals. This was my first experience of driving in my whole life. It was fun. ^_^ Anyways, I'm not required to take any lessons (you're required to do so when you're sixteen), but my father said that I will be taking lessons anyway (you know, the six hours thing. Yeah... that). Anyways, I think I may have went off on a little tangent. To get back to my point, I also have to go to a therapy session every other week, except during holiday recesses, so that's another reason why I've been busy. The therapist is nice and gives good advice, I suppose. I don't think I need to be going to these therapy sessions, but my family cares about me and they think I spend too much time alone, so I guess I can deal with it. I suppose I can't completely rid myself of some og my insecurities and being shy (people didn't treat me very well when I was a young child and their acts of cruelty shaped and formed me when I was still developing, I guess. Sometimes I think of what kind person I could be if those things never happened, but there is nothing I can do to change that now. What is done is done, and it has a lasting toll. I accepted that this was the person I am years ago, but I guess a little therapy and learning to not let people take advantage of me has helped me to become stronger during recent years). However, I can see good things coming out this. Um... what else? I'm probably going to apply for some jobs in February or March after my failed attempts last summer (the prime reason being that a lady made me feel uncomfortable in an interview and I asnwered truthfully. I know that I have to lie for some of my answers next time now, unfortunately). And, well, I guess that is all I have been busy with. Oh, wait! There is one more thing. I probably am going to take some SAT Prep classes after school to take the SAT in March and in June (depends on which one I'm taking). I think the classes are held in an ice cream parlor or something. Well, anyways, I'm off to relax now after all of this hard work. See ya'll later.

^^^Oh Boy. You don't post often Evan, but when you do, you do. It's nice to see you around though.
And don't worry too much about being late with receiving your Driver's License; I got my temporary one at 16 but never started to drive before I was 18 or so. And I had to do my driving lessons 3 times. First time it was super icy (not even a good driver would have made it that day) and the second time I didn't see a priority light because of a stupid truck. I finally got it the 3rd time around.
But yeah, I don't like driving. I am always scarred of running over a kid or hitting someone. The only good thing about driving is listening to the radio.
But wow. You have been busy...glad you're able to keep a rythm in working out; I tried to last year, but after 3 weeks I quit. It was around by grandpa died and then I don't know. I didn't get around to do anything else. But I will get back it, eventually...

I still don't have my drivers licenses and I'm 19, hell I don't even have a permit for driving...so don't, as Mary said, worry about not having it.
And don't let the cruelty of others from your past effect how you are, yes they (the cruelty) does have impact on you in but its ultimately up to YOU and how you deal with it.
Good luck with the SAT prep classes, I took the ACT (which is similar) and it's not as hard as I thought it'd be and I did better then I thought I would.
I think the board kind of "died" again...it got busy for awhile then flat lined.

Well, I don't actually think someone is gonna read this, but I think I have to say my opinion. FOI for me was the most wonderful forum. I was like, when I've discovered the site, learning about Ev, and there were people here that knew (and know!) so much and they were always really kind! Sometimes it's a bit hard to talk in huge foruns where everybody's is like Amy's sister but here I could be a learning girl, where I could buy and discuss mega-important info and downloads (yes, they make difference). I used to look everyday the FOI website just to click in all the links it was like a mother for me, and FOI are people, like said in early post. So that's what happened, in my life: I've become a webmistress of an Evanescence fansite in Brazil. And so I just had time to read the infos, and sometimes I still need to read the old things, like the exclusive clue about So Close [there's a thread for it]. I liked it very mich, it was a big transormation for me I've dedicated time (and still do this) to learn about Evanescence. I've grown, but what I'm trying to say is that FOI and the people here were a great mother for me. And when you grow, and you get old you start to do your own projects. I mean, in my life that was about Ev, but here and all the team and members started to have other things to do. It is not that hard to learn about Ev anymore, when you get the tips. And that's what happened, you just start to read, read all foruns; you want to discuss new things, new controversed informations, but there wasn't or the band is not touring. The fun thing when the band are active is to download music, in other case you just read interviews, but in fact boards are not archive files, so you want to see these in a pretty place: a website. Or other goals like "get this fucking rare movie and post on youtube" like did Aeternus: what to comment on this? I loved FOI, and I still love, all of you were great for me, you don't even imagine wish my professors were like this... The thing about high school or not, like I was entering the university when I've discovered here, does make a difference but I don't see it as the really goal. We still do things that we love, but it has to exist something to do :TI really don't want you to get bad or something at me, I would really like to make you feel special, like all the site was. We all have changed, it was for better. If the FOI needs a change, for better, I'll just wait for it. But I know by the heart that here is a able place to get good members I just wish you happiness and still listen to Ev!

I feel bad for not being around more, but I think I'll be able to visit more often during the summer. I'll try to hang out here during Spring Break too. I'm sorry that I didn't really do that during this current break that I've been on (which is almost over). Hopefully, school won't keep me too preoccupied with work.
