I'm a vegetarian and my family doesn't respect or or even accept my decision. I'm 15, and my parents respect my decision and help me as much as they can. It's my other family members that don't. I've always been the source of stories and jokes, with my strong beliefs, clumsiness, and honor roll grades. I thought they were funny at first but as time has gone on they have become more hurtful. Last Thanksgiving was a disaster. I had ham dangled in my face with oinking noises, turkey thrown on my plate over the rest of my food, and was made fun of. One of my uncles repeatedly called my decision stupid and was asking me why I chose it, and when I say that it's my choice,not his, and that I don't call him stupid for eating meat, he just kept saying that he thought I was smarter than that. He kept pushing it until my other uncle finally made him drop it. My cousins then harassed me about it and rubber turkey and ham on my face until I started screaming and crying. Every family event is.....

PREFACE

I focused on nothing but the rheumatic pattern of my breathing. In and out. Inhale and exhale. I was vastly petrified. He walked toward me with a shady smile on his face. I awaited agony and pain.
There was no warmth or bliss. The caring features vanished and turned into harsh, cold structures. How terribly I grieved to be safe in his arms. In his arms. I knew that he was gone as much as I knew that this would be hurtful. He took a step forward balancing all of his weight on one foot and smiled in the way that made me cringe, then, he lunged.














Chapter One
Acquaintance

Sixteen.
Perfect age, right. Wrong. This is when everything starts to change. Especially for me. Feelings are more sensitive. Sensitive. I really wished that word didn’t exist. It hurts. I used to be sensitive.
But, that was before I knew. Before I knew the truth. We’ll get to that later.

Now is me dreading to get in the car.
“C’mon Maria, it’s not gonna be that bad! You’ll have fun! Meet some new people, you need to have some fun. You’ve been so…..” my Dad paused at that, “so…….mopey.”
“I’ve not been mopey!” I shouted. I think that I shouted a little too sharply.
“Get in the car.” he said. I had said it too sharply.
I reached for the radio button, but he touched the back of my hand, signaling that he wasn’t in the mood. Or I had made him too angry.
We drove past some trees and old buildings. My dad really did live in a dump. We passed so many shattered things. Imagine a ghost town and it was worse than that. One of the log cabins that we passed, we stopped at. It was really little. One door that was on the side and two or three windows on the back. I wondered why not in the front. Were they trying to keep the sunlight out?
I was awoken from my thought from a deep, husky voice.
“Well, hello! Long time no see! I’ve been waiting to see you since you was a little young’un.” it said.
The windows were so tinted that I had to roll down my window to get a look. I reached for the handle and twisted it downward. There stood an old man, he was much shorter than I was. In fact, he was probably shorter than a seven or an eight year old. Then I noticed why, he was in a wheelchair.
“What’s this young’un’s name again Bill?” he asked my Dad.
My dad smiled at me and then at the old man. “It’s Maria Dad.”
“Dad?” I asked my Father.
“Honey, this is your Grandpapa Frank. You’ll be spending time with him a bit.”
I was so shocked that I didn’t even notice the young looking man that walked up.
“This is my little helper, Nathan.” he smiled. “He helps out a lot around here.”
Nathan smiled and put his hand out. “It’s nice to finally meet you, Maria.” he said. I couldn’t understand why this boy was so peculiar. He spoke normal. He walked normal. He just didn’t look normal. He had dark eyes. Dark eyes. Almost black. Long, black hair put up in a ponytail. He was so big and muscular, you would think that he was an underwear model, instead of a help.
“Well,” he said, “I best be going. I have much more work to do.” He looked straight at me then. Like he was trying to tell me something without physically speaking. “Good day, Maria.” He smiled as he walked off.
“Good day.” I said again. I looked at the clock on the car. Seven fifty-two. “Dad,” I said, now focusing on the more important things. “I’m going to be late!”
“Oh, look at the time. I am so sorry Frank, I have to go now! I’ll see you later. Maria will come by right after school! Won’t you Maria?” Dad said looking at me while he raised his eyebrows. Telling me to say yes.
“Of course I will. Right after school.” I instantly regretted saying it.

We pulled away from the driveway and headed for school. I had so many questions that I wanted to ask Dad. Why was Frank in a wheelchair? Why did Nathan act so weird? Who was Frank? But, I decided not to ask. I would always get the same answer I always got. ‘Save em’ for the Beavers’. It was liable to come up sometime anyway.



We pulled up to it, a school that was supposed to be a school. But it really looked like an old, run down, fit for mice, factory. Or something of the sort.
I opened the door of the truck and walked on the cold uneven pavement-that was supposed to be a sidewalk-to first period. I heard some footsteps behind me. Oh no. I didn’t want Dad to follow me. He did anyway.
“Dad, I don’t need you to walk in with me like I’m some kindergartener. I’m fine on my own.” I said, while turned around completely the other way. Sure enough Dad wasn’t there. Whose steps did I hear. Everyone was already in first period. I ran to class.
I had hoped that I would meet some nice acquaintances and talk some friendly talks. I was wrong. I walked up to Mr. Barren’s class and sat down. When he called my name for roll, he noticed that he didn’t remember the name, so he made me stand up in front of the class and introduce myself.
“H-he-hello. M-my n-name is,” I looked up at the twenty-five kids staring at me with un-amused faces. “m-my n-name is,” and that’s pretty much as far as I got. I’m not good at being in front of people.
“Go ahead,” Mr. Barren told me, getting agitated. “we all want to hear.”
Then, it was all green and more green. If you know what I mean. I felt like I was going to faint-and I did. But I didn’t hit the floor. That was the most peculiar part.
Instead, I was caught by gorgeous arms, which carried me to the nurse’s office.
“Take her to the clinic!” was the last voice that I heard.

After that, I listened to a high pitched, crackly voice-which was actually the nurse’s voice.
“She’s okay, she just fainted. She must not be too great in front of-”
“I’ll take her home.” said a beautiful tone. I thought that it couldn’t even begin to be a voice of a human. It was just too graceful. The voice was like the ocean, like the heaven’s angels. I already loved the voice-even though I had no idea whose it actually belonged to. I figured it was probably the guy with muscular arms that took me to the clinic.
He picked me up with one arm, put me over his shoulder and carried me out the door. Before I knew it, I was at my truck. But, he didn’t even know that what kind of car that I had.
I opened my eyes and saw the most beautiful figure that I ever thought was possible. He had black hair, short cut and shimmering in the sunlight. But, when I looked at him, it wasn’t just his hair shimmering, but his whole body was shimmering in the light. Beautiful eyes, no wait beautiful doesn’t even begin to cover it. Picturesque eyes. Gorgeous little things. I saw all of this while in his arms. Remember that I don’t even know this beautiful little devil’s name.
“Is this your car?” he said. I was so drowned in his beauty, he had to say it again, before I could hear him. My ears weren’t in command with my eyes.
“I said, is this your car?” he said again with a smile on his face. He was probably used to all this attention, he seemed to be enjoying it.
“Yes.” I managed to get out of my almost stunned mouth.
“Are you okay.” he turned the corners of his mouth into a smile. (by the way, gorgeous smile)
Here we go again with the-having to say it twice before I noticed that his dazzling mouth said anything with that heaven’s angels voice-thing.
“I think so. How did you know that this was my car?” I asked, puzzled still.
He didn’t answer. I didn’t expect him to.

This is what happens when a scientific theory is on its death bed. The political forces empowered by it begin to push back and make completely unwarranted and scientifically unsupportable claims.

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20071118/D8SVRO100.html

A number of peer-reviewed papers were published in 2007 showing that the climate is not as sensitive to climate change as we once thought and that global warming will not be catastrophic. Instead of dealing with the science. they just come out with more claims of coming doom.

It is amusing that the Bush Administration finally began to support global warming theory just as the science indicates it will not be catastrophic.

... "therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity to the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth for a lie...furthermore since they did not did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. ..they are full of envy, strife, deceit and malice. .. they not only to continue to do these very things but things but also approve of those who practice them." - Romans Chapter One.
Is it that man wants to please himself and has slowly become desensitized to doing so - even if it is harmful and defies what is good and the order of life. It is glorified because we are broken and self-seeking, self-serving.
Theses social "freedoms" are more of a ball-and-chain to society and hurt the individual and the society ultimately.
There are things we should not do. They harm rather than love and we reap the results...
Say you?

I have only been seeing my boyfriend for a short while, and on thursday i got some tests results back (they were bad) my cancer may be back. i have to see a specialist before that can be certin.

any way i was first diagnosed at 22 (three years ago) and back then i was with another guy, "George" he and i had been together almost 2 years when it was discovered. he was very supportive and helped me all the way.

but now i'm with "John" and like i said new relationship.

"george" and i broke up on good terms and i was wondering would it be a good idea or bad idea to inform "george" that it's back and ask him to be there to support and give advice to "john" if he needs it?

and is it a good idea to suggest it to "john" or is that steping on his man hood and saying he can't cope?

I thought it might be a good idea that there be support for him if he needs it, from someone who has been through it (even if it is my ex)

honest opinion. good idea? or bad idea?

Here's my situation:
I began subletting an apartment in Manhattan in March, with 2 roommates that were already there. We are paying rent to the guy who is on the lease - he does not live there and never sought permission from the building to have us there without him living there. He lived there last year but has since moved out. He makes 3600 each year off of us.
The lease ends in February and he plans on renewing it again - however, me and my 2 roommates don't like the idea of paying him all that extra money and want to get on the lease ourselves. What should I do? Has anyone been in a similar situation? Advice would be much appreciated.
