Annual Sister’s Day
Today was apparently Annual Sister’s Day. I looked it up on the internet and couldn’t actually find a concrete date for it but regardless it got me thinking about my own sister. She is two years younger than me and for most of our lives we haven’t gotten along the best. We used to fight like cats and dogs and for a long time our mom took her side for the simple fact that she was the younger sister. Now as my sister got older, she started to get into quite a bit of trouble. She got into heavy drinking and drugs at a pretty young age and I must admit, it really changed her. She had very violent mood swings. They were mainly just verbally abusive moods swings but occasionally they turned violent and we would end up in a physical fight.
When Vicki (my sister) was 19, she moved out of our home after a pretty bad screaming match between the two of us. I more or less told her to pack her bags. My mom was quite upset about it at first but things got a bit better afterwards. We all realized that Vicki was better of on her own. She began a serious relationship a couple of years before she moved out and her boyfriend was a bit possesive. After she had moved in with him, he became extremely possesive. They were both doing cocaine excessively and things between her and I as well as her and my mother became very strained. She was threatening to move away continually and that really hurt my mom as we have always been a three part family ever since my parents divorced when my sister and I were very young.
In June of last year, Vicki finally broke up with her boyfriend and started to get herself clean. She has begun a new relationship with a really great guy who is very against drugs. She has been completely clean for six months now and is finally back to her old self. I really missed my sister and I am so glad to have her back.
So, if today is in fact Annual Sister’s Day, I want to say cheers to my baby sister. 
New Layout… Again!
- 13 January 2008 at 11:25 PM in Update
Okay, so I know that the last layout was only up for about four days but I got really bored with it really fast so when I got the inspiration to create this layout, I went with it. I love how this one turned out. I used a stock photograph taken by Marcos Santos. I found it on Stock.XCHNG. Some amazing artwork on there. Anyways, I hope everyone enjoys this new theme. It will be up for some time longer than the last one was.
