I feel like celebrating.
According to my blogger, I have posted 28 different times this month. Being the 28th. That would normally mean it would average out to about a post a day. For those of you that follow or read this post a lot, you know this isn't true. I post a lot more than that. So what is the reason behind Blogger saying I've only posted 28 times this month?
I was in Vietnam. And Cambodia. I missed out on blogging for at least 10 days in a row, while on that trip.

So here I am. Period 6 spare on a Tuesday afternoon, after having just spent lunch with my best friend. I'm good. I was horrible this morning, but after hearing... and being told... I became far too angry to feel upset. I was ready to bash the shit out of her Dad. He doesn't realise the effect he's having on her, and what it's doing to her. He's killing her. Not slowly, either.
Oh, I know, people use that all the time. "He's killing me", "You're killing me", "They're killing each other". But this isn't one of those joke "I'm going to die" situations. This is very real and very serious.
She's needed therapy. She still does sometimes. He used to pay for her, because he's her father. But for him to turn around and call his own daughter "stupid"?! It has undone all the therapy that she's gone through in one fell swoop. And for her grandpa to agree, and when her father gets in a mood where he literaly threatens her life, and is extremely tempted to beat her... She locks herself in a room. It makes her feel safe. It provides protection from someone who can't control themselves like an adult, and relies on his only daughter to do all his work for him. She feels safe in her room as long as the door separates her from her father. So how could her grandfather then unlock the door for him? What kind of family does that to each other?
And she does come from a fucked up family. Mother left when she was still a baby, Father dumped her on her grandmother, then came back years later. He finally starts "taking care" of her, which includes doing everything he wants, even if it is against her will, or her morals. This has recently caused her to hate her own father, because of his persistence to control her. Not the kind of hate she has for me. "I hate you.
She has had a horrible childhood, forced to grow up far too quickly so she can't enjoy the time she has now. Which is extremely unfortunate.
But what is truly amazing is that even in such a hostile environment, and with all her suicide attempts which have been foiled by one person or another.
Even with everything she has been through, which would turn any other person into an extremely hostile, unfriendly person. She is still the nicest, kindest, most caring and compassionate person I know.
She's my best friend. I love her. I'd do anything for her. I'd die for her if that's what it took. And I'm sure she'd do the same for me. I love her. I hope she escapes her family unscathed.

I felt like a rant because of how upset I get about the whole situation.
This same friend pointed something out to me.
She introduced me to Posterous. Thank you, Linh.

And now, I sleep. I have 20 minutes before class.
Good day to all readers.
I just want you company.
This is a special post I figured was necessary, and could only be posted
during English on a Tuesday. There'll be no change of colour, or bold,
as usual. Just something for everyone that reads this to think about.

I just want you company - Linkin Park
Ain't nothing working, ain't nothing right
There's a whole in me, that I can't fill, no matter how hard I try
Hey, hey, hey bartender, hit me with a double
And introduce me to that girl with the bobble
I'm looking for trouble tonight
No momma don't trust me tonight
You be the center baby, I'll be the quarter back
High get the tail back, watchin all the play back
Jaw smash, now heating now rambo
Up in the hands all, biting on the cannibal
I just want your company
I want you to comfort me, just come with me
Hey bartender, hit me with another
I'm just about how to kill this brother
I'm lookin for trouble tonight
No momma don't trust me tonight
You be the beauty baby, I'll be the beast
Who give a fucker, take it to the bedroom
Take it to the streets, take it like a man
Mother fucker, yo bitch chose me, mother fucker
I just want your company
I want you to comfort me, just come with me
I just want your company
I want you to comfort me, just come with me
Take me there, take me with you
I can't be alone tonight
I can't trust myself tonight
I can't trust myself tonight
Ladies don't trust me tonight
Take me there, take me with you
I can't be alone tonight
I can't trust myself tonight
I can't trust myself tonight
No you can't trust me tonight
Ain't nothing working, ain't nothing right
There’s a whole in me, that I can't fill, no matter how hard I try
There ain't nothing sweeter, there ain't nothing wrong
All the pain that I've received keeps me strong,
It keeps me moving on
I just want your company,
I want you to comfort me,
Just come with me (moving on)
I just want your company,
I want you to comfort me, just come with me
I just want your company,
I want you to comfort me, just come with me
Comfort me, just come with me
Comfort me, just come with me -------
I wish I was strong. Strong enough to deal with this. Strong enough to
help those that need it.
It's easy to wear a mask. Easy to hide behind who we're supposed to be
for everyone else. But for some people you can't hide a mask.
There's two people I know of that I can't wear a mask for. One that can
see through it, most of the time. I can't wear a mask with them, and
they know it.

The Down Syndrome - Linkin Park
People come around
People let you down
Anywhere you go
Anyone you see
It's real
It's up to you to make it happen
It's up to you to make it real
And you know how it feels
To bleed some, to need some
Tell me what you know
Tell me how you feel
It doesn't matter when you're down
when you look at me with your eyes
That smile on your face it seems happy
Are you happy?

I'm not sure any more.
