The Gryphon's Eyrie

Sorry... My internet will be on a nonworking position for maybe a month or two. Reasons are untold, but I fucking hate them! It sucks, too, because I just started posting again on this blasted thing! AUGH! Why me?

You scored as Anarchist. Coochy choochy coo, what a cute little ANARCHIST we have here. You see everything as a means to an end, and that end is You. You don't understand why some saps do community service cause you wouldn't be caught dead picking up trash unless you were in an orange jumpsuit. You're also pretty angry at the world but are too self-concerned to do anything about it because you are an anarchist.

Hmmmm... Now that's interesting.

So... I'm updating for the first time in months. I guess there's a lot to talk about. I no longer live in Topanga. I now live in Northridge, which is in the Valley. The Valley that I used to talk so much shit about. Now I'm no longer being hypocritical. Yay! Hmmmmm..... What to say. I work in the shoe department at the Mervyn's on Corbin and Parthenia. So far, it's a seasonal position. I'm getting tired of Christmas music already! AUGH! I hate retail! The day after Turkey-Day, I had to wake up at 3:00 in the morning to be at work by 4:00... It sucked sooo much because I had only gotten a total of 2 hours of sleep. (I went to bed at around 1:00...) Aaaanyways.. I'm just updating because you people so love to read this shit. To let all my "Young" friends know... being an adult is a bitch. It sucks ass. Stay home as long as you can lol. Aaaanyways. I'm signing off. Goodnight!

Hey Guys,

I won't be at school tomorrow... I will be at a free health clinic (because I have no health insurance). The reason I need to go is because (I think) I fell down some stairs while I was in New York. I have had this pain since then, but it has progressively been getting worse. It's really hard for me to move around right now because of something, some kind of pain underneath my shoulderblade, and it's spreading. Just letting you guys know...

Hey you guys... I'm still here. I leave in the morning to come back to Sunny California. I can't fucking wait! I have decided that New York isn't for me. First of all, it's way too fucking cold. My second day here, my cousin got drunk and shit. A 2 AM screaming match is not what I had in mind for my Spring Break. We had so many plans for when I got here... None of them happened! I am so pissed at my whole family. The ones in California are fucked.. and so are the ones in New York. Coast to coast fucks... That's my family. I think what I'll do is just finish up at Pali and then get a job and go to SMC.. it seems to be the best thing. I'm glad I took the trip. Now I won't make the mistake of moving here. Alright.. I need to get up early to go to the airport, so I better get steppin.

~Gryphon~

For all those (2 ppl) who check this thing in the morning... I will not be going to school tomorrow. I will be doing other things like preparing for take-off.(Not my pants you idiot!) Okay... bad humor there. I can't wait until Saturday! I get to go on a PLANE!!! and to New York! YAY!! Funfunfunfunfun.... see you all in a week I guess!

You are a fire shadow. The feathery glow of your
source makes you spritely and active. You love
to experience many things and you want to take
in the entire world. You are constantly
flickering, darting from one experience to the
next. You have heat, energy, magic, and
charisma and hold the power of beauty and
destruction. However, the dying of your embers
is a corrupting fear. Learn to accept that you
cannot possess so much raw energy
forever.(please rate my quiz cuz it took me for
freaking ever to create)

Hmmmm... Interesting. I guess it just means that I don't take everything bad in my life to be a disaster. Right now, though, I feel rather powerless over something... I feel the urge to shout my feelings to someone who doesn't even know that those feelings exist... I feel that if I do tell this person how I really feel or felt about them, it will ruin anything that we had ever had together. The reason for this sudden urge to burst is becuase it seems that this person is shutting themselves from the outside. They have locked up all emotion and keep it to themselves. I am scared for this person, for I know what it's like to keep everything all bottled up. Eventually, it will eat you up inside and you will feel such misery that there seems to be no reason to hang on to anything... My only suggestion to anyone feeling this way is this: Confide in a friend and ask for advice. Don't keep these feelings of worthlessness to yourself. You are not worthless and you don't hurt everyone you come in contact with... Jusr keep moving and go on to the next thing. That's all anyone can to. To dwell on the past is meaningless.



On another note... I'm leaving for New York on Saturday! I'm going to be gone for a week during Spring Break. I can't wait... I'm going to have soo much fun! Yay!

I have a place to live!!! I live in a trailer in Topanga. All I have to do is pay for the electricity. This lady named Kimmy has pretty much adopted me into her family. I have my own space in her RV. Hahaha I'm trailer trash. I feel so much better now that I'm not worried about where I'm going to be staying. Kimmy even makes me lunches for school. I can now save up for a car to buy. Also..... For anyone who's interested.. The Pali High Talent show is tomorrow. I'm performing twice in it. It starts at Pali at 6:30 and tickets are $3 for one and $5 for two. Please come and support me! I should probably get off this computer now, though, considering thatb these people go to bed WAY earlier than I do... G'nite all!

I'm sitting in my 10th Grade English class... Bwahaha.... Petty little Tenth graders have to take the HSEE. While they go through that boring book, I get to cavort on the internet! Granted, the only reason I'm even in this class is because I failed it my Sophomore year, but whatever. I get to chill. This is awesome. I'm beginning to get a New York accent. I have been talking to my cousin in New York a little often, so she's rubbing off on me. I'm making plans to move to New York after I graduate. My cousin has already set up a place for me to live. I'm going to be her roommate. I can't wait. I have a feeling I'm going to fit right in. Right now, I'm living in Topanga at this lady's house. She's letting me stay in this extra room that she has. I'm going to be moving in with this guy soon. He has an extra room and bathroom. I'll probably roommate with him until I graduate. Chances are, I'll have to pay some rent. I don't really care. I was supposed to get my license on Friday, but yet again, something went wrong. My friend didn't have registration on his car. I was really pissed off. I got a new cell phone, though. It's the same number, just a different provider. Sprint. I had to get a new phone so that I wasn't under my dad's credit anymore. I'm pretty much separating all ties between my father and I. My dad is a sick, sick man. He's insane. But I won't go into that now. It was an unhealthy situation that I was in. Now I'm out of it. I'm happy.

I'm spending the night at my friend's house in Pasadena tonight. Then, on Sunday through Wednesday(?), I'm going to be staying at my friend, Sasha's, house. I'm hoping that everything will be okay for the next month... In April, I have a room that I'm going to be renting from a good friend of mine. I'll be back in Topanga then. If anyone needs to reach me or wants to help me out, then call my cell phone. It's going to be on for another week and a half about. Then, my dad's going to turn it off. I need someplace solid to live soon, though. I'm going to need to get another cell phone so I can get in touch with people. Alright, I gotta go. Love Y'all

Last post for a while guys... I'm dismantling my computer and packing it up.

Well, Today I'm packing my things and moving out. I'll probably be staying with my friend in Glendale this week.

Okay... A lot of shit has happened this morning and I just need to let everyone know. I need to move out of my house within the next week. I can't stand living in the insanity anymore. My dad just told me that he was depending on those $1000 checks that I'm going to get from Social Security every month until June and that I couldn't use them until I moved out. I had already made plans for those checks to get a car and set up a place to stay in April. I can't afford to lose an extra $2000... I think I found a place to stay in Topanga. This old lady owns some property and I'm going to rent from her and maybe do some labor to keep the rent down. All I know is I'm going to be on my own in the next week.

Rain, Rain
Go Away!
Come Again
Another Day!

Ack... So here's the situation... My dad sold our old house and used the money from that to pay rent here until April. That was back in July. My dad still has not managed to get any kind of job whatsoever. It's not likely that he'll get a job that will instantaneously give him $1650 a month to keep us in this place. What I need are a few things: a car, a job, a place to stay for the last 2 months of Pali. I need a car to get to a job and a job to pay for a car. I really don't know what I'm going to do to find a place for the last 2 months of school... I've tried asking friends at school and no one can help me. A) Their parents don't know me well enough, or B) They have no room. One thing that sprung up is an opportunity to move to New York and live with my cousin after I graduate. This will be somewhat difficult for me, considering I have gathered many attachments in the last 7 months I have lived here. Origionally, I had planned on going to SMC for college. I found out that it would most likely be a -lot- cheaper for me to just move to NY and room with my cousin. Now... add a monthly check of about $1000 into the equation. ($1000 is my social security check that I will get until June, so a total of about $4000...) Any suggestions are appreciated. I really don't want to be homeless trying to stiil go to Pali. I -must- finish high school.

~Gryphon~

Arg... I don't think I should ever let myself sleep in until one o'clock in the afternoon again. It throws me off way too much. Here I am, late for school. I couldn't fall asleep until after 2:00 this morning. I don't really care about evenm being in school today, though. The purpose has been defeated. The only class I really should be in, I missed. That's my Econ class with Mr. R. My other two classes are Expos. Comp. wih Cohen. That class is Satan spawn. And then there's Computer Programming in which I finish my work in a matter of minutes and then sit around the whole period. I really don't feel like I should go to school today. Ah well. Off I go! (As soon as I can wake my dad up for a ride...)

I haven't really posted in a while. Mostly, Ive been hopping on the coattails of other people's posts... I have gone through a pretty wierd week. On Friday, it was my birthday. I had planned on taking my driver's license test after school. As you can see by the word "planned", it didn't happen. I waited after school for my ride to get to school and pick me up. He was supposed to be there at 2:00 and we were going to go straigh to the DMV in the valley. After fuming around the front of school for an hour, He finally showed up. I was too dependent on this person to be able to yell at his major fuck up. I needed to get to the DMV. So, on my way to Topanga Blvd., I was trying my hardest to get in front of the late bus that makes its way through Topanga. The traffic was so bad that I couldn't manage it. I was stuck behind the bus all the way up the hill until it turned into Topanga Elementary. On my way up to Top'o'Topanga, I -ran out- of gas... I obviously felt that some kind of power beyond me found it hilariously funny to stop me in any way possible from getting to this Driver's Test appointment. (I had to plan this appointment a month in advance.)So, I got to the DMV five minutes before it closed and had to make ANOTHER appointment. This time it is set for March 12th. -another- month away. Ugh.... At this point, I was REALLY regretting having my birthday on Friday the Thirteenth. I'm not even a superstitious person! Aaaanyway, my whole birthday wasn't a let down. I was invited to a little B-day shindig at a friend's house. Apparently, it was her father's birthday too. I went there and had some fun just hanging out. I got to eat Indian food. The rest of the weekend was alright... On V-day, I went out with a friend of mine and we went bowling in the afternoon. I tought her how to bowl and then we went out to ice cream. Later that night, this girl invited me over to go hot tubbing... Then we exchanged back massages. That was REALLY relaxing.

One thing happened this weekend that is kind of interesting... I now have a girlfriend. (o.O) It's kind of hard for me to see myself as 'taken'... It's been so long since I've ever been in a -real- relationship. All I know is how to have flings... It's going to be really strange for me to move slowly in a relationship... Hah... I feel like such a little kid. I don't KNOW how to be in a real relationship, because all of my previous relationships have been really fucked up. I think I see why, though. In all of my previous relationships, I always went for a girl that brought a lot of chaos into my life. But this girl is different. She brings about no chaos. I'm going to just ride this out and see how well it goes...

I am a Fedora. The hat of the adventurous, I am spontaneous and active, perhaps sometimes a little foolishly. Regardless, I always come out alright. What Sort of Hat Are You?

HEHEHEHEHEHE..... Smashing Fedora, I do say!

Wow... I have not posted in a while.... o.O. Guess what? I TURN 18 ON FRIDAY!!!!!! I'm so excited. I'm going to take my driving test on Friday the thirteenth... Wierd. I usually have good Friday 13ths, so I'm going to try to make this one memorable. I'm having a friend of mine take me to the DMV with his car and take the test. If he falls through, I have a backup guy that I can use HIS car to take the test. His car is an old Jeep Wrangler, though... Stick.. OOOoooohhh.... I love stick. It's soo fun to Be able to -control- the engine when I drive. To be able to downshift and gain that extra momentum to pass the -idiot- in front of me! AHAHAHAHA!!!!! Topanga is a fun place to drive... It's only -not- fun when you have an idiot person going TWENTY miles an hour in front of you... AAARRRRGGG!!! Anyway.. I'm excited to be turning 18.. ::secretly hopes for presents:: Wow.. this year I get to look back at my 17 year old life and kiss it goodbye. I CAN VOTE NOW!!! OH YEAH!!!! I'm also -very- legally able to go to jail though..... Good thing I'm a good kid that doesn't do anything wrong with the law (when the cops are looking)... hehehe.. Goodnight everyone!!

Your soul is bound to the Black Rose: The
Wicked.

"I am the wicked specemin of sin with no
profound logic to believe in. Hold me tight,
but don't hold me close, I go where I
desire."

The Black Rose is associated with manipulation,
control, and virtuosity. It is governed by the
goddess Psyche and its sign is The Tapestry, or
Crafted Love.

As a Black Rose, you may have a slight wicked
streak running through you. But whether you
are naughty or nice is up for debate. You know
how to get what you want and can work people
for what they're worth. You have great people
skills, but can sometimes be a bit of a control
freak.
