| the beginning of...something |
| 07.31.04 (1:52 pm) [edit] |
man, i'm such a liar. i can never keep my word when it comes to posting and that kind of stuff. but the twins take up a lot of time, and so do art classes- speaking of which, have been going great, but most of the stuff i've done isn't worthy of being put up on the blog.
i think Ana and i are unknowingly messing our kids up for life (not the harmful kind of way, mind you). we don't have any baby stuff really, just some of Ana's scary-looking plushies, both of our old baby clothes, and the bare essentials of infant care we managed to buy from the store. we have to take them practically everywhere (the mall, the store, you name it), and our casual cursing, i think, is going to rub off on them eventually.
but this is only the beginning. i'm sure we'll learn in time.

| movie break |
| 06.27.04 (11:47 am) [edit] |
Ana suggested we go see a movie yesterday, and i darn near flipped- one reason being we still had the kids, and the other being she wanted to see [i]The Notebook[/i] *gags*. but her grandmother just [i]had[/i] to suggest coming over and watching the twins, so off we went, to my dismay.
first of all, i'd just like to say this: that was one of the sappiest movies i've seen since i was dragged to [i]The Titanic[/i], and second of all: i haven't cried more at a movie since i was dragged to [i]The Titanic[/i]. God, can you imagine a 15 year old boy crying during a movie? neither could i. but i'm sure it was quite a spectacle when Ana and i clung to each other bawling like a middle-aged woman PMSing. that movie was SAD, that's all i'm saying.
on another note, my summer art classes start in 3 days. i've been busy gathering my supplies, and buying new ones after realizing the stuff i had sucked. i won't be doing any life drawing though...o well. painting and animating will just have to do.

| the joys of parenthood...riiiight... |
| 06.24.04 (4:22 pm) [edit] |
well, here i am again. it's been about a month and a half since Ana gave birth to our twins, Jack and Daria Gordon (my [i]real[/i] last name)...which obviously explains why i haven't posted since then.
Ana and me were so overjoyed when we finally brought the two home...and now i'm almost wishing we hadn't. they keep us awake constantly, they're always hungry, and not to mention messy. everyday is constant feeding, changing, and rocking them to sleep-it's MADNESS! i mean, geesh, is this what ALL parents have to go through? if so, i have a new respect for offspring-laden adults everywhere.
her and i barely passed the tenth grade (practically straight D's), and had to eundure much scolding from both teachers and family, but at least it's summer now. all i have to worry about is the twins and my summer art classes (there goes my trip to Wisconsin to visit my adoptive grandmother, thank God). we're currently staying at my house, as Ana's is already full of siblings, so i might be able to squeeze an update or two every now and then. i've also learned the joys of image hosting, so i might be posting doodles from class, too.
i gotta go, Jack's crying again (whiney little bugger). but i'll post again soon.

| long time, no post |
| 01.25.04 (3:47 pm) [edit] |
wow, i haven't posted in a month :o . so much has happened, i really can't find time to update this thing, but here it goes. first of all, Ana is doing just fine; its been 3 months since i [i]found out[/i] about her pregnancy, but since she had denied it for a month, she's 4 months pregnant. we've also changed the names we're naming the twins to Jack and Daria, instead of Ronald and Daria; we agreed that Jack is a much better name for a boy, especially ours. oh, and both of our parents have cooled down greatly, so both of us are back in our own homes.
on a different note, school has been very stressful. my animation, english, and fine arts classes are going great, but the history, science, algebra, and gym ones aren't, and the homework has been piling up. it's times like these that make me want to just drop out...but i won't, of course.
despite a mountain of homework, i've been watching non-stop Tim Burton and Alfred Hitchcock movies, keeping my eccentric spirits one the up-scale...yeah, that's pretty much it...
i'll post more later.

| shocking pregnancy update |
| 12.26.03 (6:14 pm) [edit] |
i haven't given you lot an update on Ana's pregnancy yet, so i thought i'd start off with a shocking bit of news. if you're one of the few who have been keeping tabs on this whole ordeal, you already know that i unknowingly got my girlfriend pregnant, now everyone hates me, yada yada yada. well, she was supposedly pregnant with only one child...well guess what- there's another.
Ana went in for an ultrasound, or something-i'm not very good with this kinda stuff- anyways, instead of seeing just one baby, like we expected, there were two; and the doctor said we had a pair of twins on our hands (supposedly a boy and a girl)...oh f****** great...say hello to Ronald and Daria...

| chanukah song |
| 12.20.03 (3:45 pm) [edit] |
i don't know why, but this song always cheers me up during the holidays...(probably because it's not another christmas carol)
"The Chanukah Song"
by Adam Sandler
"Okay...
This is a song that uhh..
There's a lot of Christmas songs out there and uhh..
not too many Chanukah songs.
So uhh..
I wrote a song for all those nice little Jewish kids who don't get to hear
any Chanukah songs.
Here we go..."
Put on your yarmulke
Here comes Chanukah
So much funukah
To celebrate Chanukah
Chanukah is the festival of lights
Instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights
When you feel like the only kid in town without a Christmas tree
Here's a list of people who are Jewish just like you and me
David Lee Roth lights the menorah
So do James Caan, Kirk Douglas, and the late Dinah Shore-ah
Guess who eats together at the Carnegie Deli
Bowser from Sha Na Na and Arthur Fonzerelli
Paul Newman's half Jewish, Goldie Hawn's half too
Put them together, what a fine lookin' Jew
You don't need "Deck The Halls" or "Jingle Bell Rock"
'Cause you can spin a dreidel with Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock- both Jewish
Put on your yarmulke
It's time for Chanukah
The owner of the Seattle Supersonicahs
Celebrates Chanukah
O.J. Simpson, not a Jew
But guess who is? Hall of famer Rod Carew- he converted
We got Ann Landers and her sister Dear Abby
Harrison Ford's a quarter Jewish- not too shabby
Some people think that Ebenezer Scrooge is
Well he's not, but guess who is
All three Stooges
So many Jews are in showbiz
Tom Cruise isn't, but I heard his agent is
Tell your friend Veronica
It's time to celebrate Chanukah
I hope I get a harmonicah
Oh this lovely, lovely Chanukah
So drink your gin and tonicah
And smoke your marijuanikah
If you really, really wannakah
Have a happy, happy, happy, happy Chanukah
Happy Chanukah
(and we can't forget part II...)
Put on your yarmulke
Its time for Chanukah
So much funnaka
To celebrate Chanukah
Chanukah is the festival of lights
Instead of one day of presents
We get eight crazy nights
When you feel like the only kid in town
Without a Christmas tree
Here's a new list of people who are Jewish
Just like you and me
Winona Ryder,
Drinks Manischewitz wine
Then spins a draydle with Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein
Guess who gives and receives
Loads of Chanukah toys
The girls from Veruca Salt and all three Beastie Boys
Lenny Kravitz is half Jewish,
Courtney Love is half too
Put them together
What a funky bad ass Jew
We got Harvey Keitel
And flash dancer Jennifer Beals
Yasmine Bleeth from Baywatch is Jewish
And yes her boobs are real
Put on your yarmulka
Its time for Chanukah
2 time Ocsar winning Dustin Hoffmanaka
celebrates Chanukah
O.J. Simpson
Still not a Jew
But guess who is,
The guy who does the voice for Scooby Doo
Bob Dylan was born a Jew
Then he wasn't
but now he's back,
Mary Tyler Moore's husband is Jewish
'Cause we're pretty good in the sack.
Guess who got bar-mitzvahed
On the PGA tour
No I'm not talking about Tiger Woods
I'm talkin' about Mr. Happy Gilmore.
So many Jews are in the show biz
Bruce Springsteen isn't
But my mother thinks he is.
Tell the world-amanaka
It's time to celebrate Chanukah
It's not pronounced Ch-nakah
The C is silent in Chanukah
So read your hooked on phonica
Get drunk in Tijuanaka
If you really really wannaka
Have a happy happy happy happy Chanukah!
happy holidays...to everyone.

| what a wonderful life |
| 12.09.03 (9:01 pm) [edit] |
i visited my parents today. it's usually a really sad time for me, because i know they didn't go peacefully. they were killed in a car accident, or at least, that's as far as i know. but, y'know, today was different. i went to the cemetery, carrying my usual boquet of sunflowers; they were my mother's favorite. i sat down next to the graves, placed the flowers in my usual spot, and started talking to them. i'm sure to the passerby it seemed odd for a 15 year old boy to be talking to stones in the ground, but to me, i was talking to much more than that.
i told them about what had happened with me and Ana, how i absolutely despised "mum" abandoning me in my time of need. but i also talked about the happier side of things: how me and Ana had named our baby, how i had great friends sticking by me, and most important of all, the spirit of the season. now, we're Jewish, but it was still fun to talk about the stores filling up with gifts, the fresh scent of the Christmas tree the family friend had put up in the cozy living room, and all the songs i started to hum wherever i went. i even sang my favorite song to them, "What a Wonderful Life", by Louis Armstrong.
and even though i never actually got a response from them while i was talking, i know that they were listnening from up there. i told them i loved them with all my heart, and that i'd visit them as soon as i could. i stood up and walked off, still humming "What a Wonderful Life".

| shedding Sum light |
| 12.07.03 (9:12 pm) [edit] |
i don't usually post up songs on this blog, but this one seemed to suit my mood quite well. so i thought i'd share it with you...
"Hell Song"
by Sum 41
Everybody's got their problems
Everybody says the same things to you
It's just a matter how you solve them
And knowing how to change the things you've been through
I feel I've come to realize
How fast life can be compromised
Step back to see what's going on
I can't beleive this happened to you
This happened to you
It's just a problem that I'm faced with am I
Not the only one who hates to stand by
Complications that are first in this line
With all these pictures running through my mind
Knowing endless consequences
I feel so useless in this
Get back, step back, and as for me,
i can't believe.
Part of me, won't agree
Cause I don't know if it's for sure
Suddenly, suddenly
I don't feel so insecure
Part of me, won't agree
Cause I don't know if it's for sure
Suddenly, suddenly
I don't feel so insecure
Anymore
Everybody's got their problems
Everybody says the same things to you
It's just a matter how you solve them
But what else are we supposed to do
Part of me, won't agree
Cause I don't know if it's for sure
Suddenly, suddenly
I don't feel so insecure
Part of me, won't agree
Cause I don't know if it's for sure
Suddenly, suddenly
I don't feel so insecure
Anymore
Why do things that matter the most
Never end up being what we chose
Now that I find no way so bad
I don't think I knew what I had
Why do things that matter the most
Never end up being what we chose
Now that I find no way so bad
I don't think I knew what I had
and if you're one of the few who actually keep track of this journal, Ana and me are dealing with things considerably well. both of our parents (or guardian, in my case) have practically cut us off from communication, saying that we need ot handle this on our own. so we're staying over at a friend of the family's house for now.
on the brighter side of things, we've agreed to go through with Ana having the baby, meaning she won't go through surgical abortion. also, we agreed we're going to keep the baby afterward, and won't put it up for adoption.
we're even thinking of name for the baby. i want it to be named Ronald if it's a boy. Ana actually said she liked that name, and suggested Daria for a girl; we're both generally fond of the names, but are open to others.
as for now, we're still uneasy, but we're trying to shed some light on this. i'll keep you updated.

| coping with it |
| 12.06.03 (10:35 pm) [edit] |
today was just too much for me to handle. since i recently found out i was a dad, i've had to endure swift kick in the rear from "mum", a long, painful lecture from an about-to-explode Ana's father, and 2 grueling hours of teen counselling for me and Ana.
it's like everyone hates me now, except for good friends like Lizi, and of course Ana, who is keeping her head on straight surprisingly well-unlike me.
the counselor said that most boys in my shoes would just turn away, but i'm not going to do that, cuz i promised Ana that the father of her baby would stay put and raise it with her. ugh, my mind seriously needs to rest right now.
i'll keep you all updated as often as i can...but that's not a garuntee.

| i'm the WHAT?!?! |
| 12.03.03 (5:27 pm) [edit] |
|
Ana got her results in today, the one that reveals who the father of the baby is; i was waiting outside. when they told her, i heard a shocked scream. the doctor came out with a look between a digusted and grave face, then told me who the father was. it was as shocking to me as it was to Ana. i knew the guy pretty well, or at least thought i did. him and Ana had fooled around one night, ONE night, and i guess that's when it happened. neither of them thought it would turn into something like this, they were just playing the role of ignorant teens. and now, that guy's feeling pretty crummy inside...still haven't guessed who that guy is?...that guy is me.

| 12.02.03 (6:10 pm) [edit] |

well, this may sound a bit stupid to some (or most...depends...), but i'm counting down the days until [i]The Return of the King[/i] hits theatres (December 17th...[i]15 days[/i]...). i've been waiting for it ever since the second one came out. and knowing me, when i see a movie i've been anticipating for so long, i do a review on it. so y'all can be sure that come December 18th, i'll be bouncing off the walls telling you what i thought. *gay, girly squeal* oooh...i can't WAIT!!

| the haunted mansion...survey says...? |
| 12.01.03 (6:44 pm) [edit] |
me and my friend Chad went to the movies the other day. seeing as how we were without parents, and all the movies we hadn't seen were R rated, we settled on [i]The Haunted Mansion[/i]. now, don't get me wrong, me and Chad absolutely love the ride at Disneyland, however, however, the previews didn't seem al that great; but we gave it the benefit of a doubt...AND NOW WE WANT IT BACK. here's my personal review of [i]The Haunted Mansion[/i]:
there we were, sitting in the theatre waiting for the movie to start. we had previously seen [i]Pirates of the Caribbean[/i], another movie based on a ride, and enjoyed it very much so. so we had high hopes for the next ride-to-movie flick and expected it to turn out to be moderately amusing...how WRONG we were.
let's start with the plot, shall we? first and most important of all, and a personal peeve of mine, is that it was too mainstream. i mean, using a person "sacrifice" to lift a curse? it's been done so many times before, in the other hundred Disney movies out there (including, sad to say, POTC). another thing about the plot is that it was way too predictable; ten minutes into the movie, and you could sense every event that was going to take place.
and in the case of dialogue, i could've expected so much better from Eddie Murphy; he's supposed to be funny, so why didn't i see funny? why! true, there were a couple lines here and there i snorted at, but other than that, humor seemed to be a bit dry.
you tie all that in with crappy effects and the fact that they practically made a whole obscure parody of the otherwise enjoyable ride, you have yourself an E-ticket to your worst nightmare. by the time the movie was over, Chad and i were [i]dying[/i] to get out of that theatre.

| career path |
| 11.30.03 (3:25 pm) [edit] |
okay, last night i told "mum" what i wanted to do with my life, and it didn't go over so well (as i expected). and just to show you that i'm not lying, i recorded the whole thing.
[sitting at the table with "mum"]
"hey mum, i've been thinking about my career path lately, and i-"
"oh! so you've finally decided where your headed in life? that's wonderful! are you going to take up accounting like i suggested? or maybe a job in communications?"
"nooo...more like something along the lines of...say...a paranormal investigator?..."
[long, awkward pause]
"WHAT?! I'VE BROUGHT YOU UP SINCE YOU WERE A BOY, LOUIS! I WANTED YOU TO STAY CLEAR OF ANY STRANGE THOUGHTS WHATSOEVER! AND NOW YOU'VE TAKEN UP SOME COK-AND-BULL DREAM-"
"it's not cok-and-bull, mum! paranormal investigators are highly respected in-"
"-in insane asylums! no son of mine will take part in any such practice!!"
"THEN MAYBE I DON'T WANT TO BE YOUR SON ANYMORE!!"
and at that point i stormed up to my room, slammed the door, and stayed there. actually, i still am here. hmf, mothers...i mean, she's not even my birth mom, and she acts like she can control what i think and what i do. honestly...

| when i grow up... |
| 11.29.03 (6:36 pm) [edit] |
|
here's another thought to add to the contents of my mind. if and when i grow up, i want to be a paranormal investigator. i mean, i'm really into the supernatural, and all my friends say i'd be really good at it. so i've made my decision for my future- paranormal investigator. boy, wait til "mum" hears about this, she's going to flip her lid. she always wanted me to become something useful; like an accountant, or a telemarketer...*snigger* i love disappointing people...

i took a random quiz, "what cartoon are you?"...figures, i got the most depressed of them all...
You are Daria from Daria. You are full of sadness
and everything bad. You love to read, and you
are very smart. However, you are cool to
others. Even though you are so smart and quiet,
you seem cool to others. You get mad at others
quickly, but you only show it in your face. You
are very anti-social, but you do have a couple
of friends one or two. You are pretty
depressed. You have very little happiness in
you. You are very different from others. You
make the school seem much better because you
are not the exact same as the other girls. You
are not very religious, however. Actually, you
are not religious at all. Most likely, you are
going to die of cancer - sorry for that. Good
luck desperate person!

| 11.24.03 (9:31 pm) [edit] |

wow...today was crummy. "mum" got even more worried that i'm going insane when i told her about a dream i had involving a dark hall with a bunch of doors containing the bodies of all the people i knew. huh, imagine that; the one time i tell her something and she thinks i'm mad. anyways, we went to the doctor's office, where "mum" and the doctor whispered behind my back-pretty annoying. so now i'm assigned to a psychiatrist once a week. and to make things worse, word got out at skool about my "appointments", and now [i]everyone[/i] talks about me behind my back. honestly, i feel like Harry Potter; everybody's under the impression i'm some kind of nutter...*shrug*...o well; let people think what they want to think, i guess...

| 11.22.03 (4:40 pm) [edit] |
|
today was fun. my high skool was having a selected group of artists (including me *proud*) re-do the mural at the front of the campus. i invited Antoinette, and even Ana, though she couldn't walk around much, to come with me to watch and eat luch with me. it was a really cool day of painting and laughing. i wish every day could be like that...

| superpower? |
| 11.19.03 (7:41 pm) [edit] |
|
I was talking to Anoinette, the girl next door, about her strange gift- invisibility. she asked me if i could have one superpower, what would it be? i thought about it for a while, but i couldn't really think of anything *shrug*...if [i]you[/i] had a superpower, what would it be? i wanna know your opinions...

| freak next door |
| 11.18.03 (6:33 pm) [edit] |
Today wasn't quite as bad as the last week or so. that's because some new neighbors moved in next door. "mum" forced me to be neighborly and go over to introduce myself. i knocked on the door and this strange girl answered. she couldn't have been more than 13; she was pale, skinny, had unruly black hair and big glasses that were taped in the middle. i introduced myself and she said her name was Antoinette, Antoinette Snickeri. she also said her parents weren't there. so we sat on the porch and started to talk.
It seemed we had a lot more in common than i had thought. her parents weren't home because they had died when she was little-just like me; only she lost her parents because her dad was on drugs and killed both himself and her mother...and i thought i had it bad. she now lives with a foster mom, like me as well. anyways, it was getting dark, so i invited her to come and get some fast food with me (there was no way i'd let her suffer through one of "mum"'s meals) and she said yes. we had a great time laughing it up at In-N-Out; it was amazing how much we connected on issues about ...stuff.
But on the way home was a comepletely different story. she asked me if i could keep a secret, and of course i agreed. then she concentrated real hard...and i could've sworn i saw her strat to disappear! i didn't know what to say. Antoinette reappeared and told me her power had comewhen she was in 7th grade, and how she had escaped paranormal investigators wanting to test her. she asked me if i thought she was a freak. i said yeah, but that's what made her so interesting; she smiled and told me i was her new best friend, her only friend.
so now, every time i pass by her house, she waves at me, and i wave back. Antoinette, the freak next door, and my new friend.

| 11.06.03 (4:44 pm) [edit] |

school was boring today. it always is. every day seems to drag by now, like back in the first days of living without my parents being alive. the doctors are testing Ana to find out who the father of her baby is. and when i find out, i swear i'll kill them if they turn away from her. i'm also becoming more and more pranoid. i don't know why though. "mum" says we should go to the doctor; there could be something wrong with me. i tell her it's nothing, but i know she's right. it's just my luck- i was finally getting over my depression when all of these things hit me at once. it's as if my life was meant to be miserable. so this is me, over and out...

| Ana's pregnancy update |
| 11.04.03 (5:18 pm) [edit] |
|
today i went to visit my friend Ana, whom, as i told you earlier, recently learned she was pregnant...at 16! anyways...it was kind of depressing going to her house. i mean, i'm a boy, and i don't know all that much about being pregnant, but it must be awful. Ana used to be this pretty, optimistic person, now i wouldn't even recognize her...i've never seen her so unhappy. and they still haven't found out who the father is. that's all i have for now...
