How are you today?

[Thibideau]

Today was a bit of a mixed bag for me.

On a high note, I found out my sister is pregnant. She'd been having a rough go of it so hearing that she's expecting was exciting.

Then while we were sitting there she basically said she would never wish her child to be LGBT. I was really insulted by this and I just about got in an argument with her, then decided it was probably best to just shut up and leave the room. I think I was so pissed because it was that same mentality that made it hard for me to come out in the first place. I'm sure my parents felt the exact same way. The difference being she's seen what I've been through and still thinks it's a good idea to put that train of thought onto the head of her future children. She tried to calrify by saying she'd support her child no matter what, but at the back of her mind she's always going to be thinking "I hope you're straight".

Then while I was cooking supper she started suggesting I try online dating sites. While I was receptive to the idea, I was still a little pissed so I'm not sure it was well received all together. Really I know I have to start putting myself out there, but I've been retreating for so long I don't know how easy it's going to be to turn around and face the other direction.

Since I was frustrated after that exchange I decided to exercise for the first time since my heart scare a few months back. I forgot how good it felt to get my body moving. I feel much more motivated and just feel better in general.

Capped the night off with a scary movie. The Woman in Black. It was a decent horror flick. It did the atmosphere of scary very well, though I only jumped once. Not going to be a classic scary movie anytime soon for me anyways. Afterwards I went home and decided to pop in a movie that scared the crap out of me when I was 5. Dolls. Watching it now I realise how stupid that movie was, but there were still parts where I went back to being 5 years old and being afraid my little Buddy was going to try to kill me in the middle of the night.

So like I said, could've been a better day, but it could've been worse. I know my sister and brother-in-law are going to be great parents, and I can't change the way my sister feels, but I can still be the most accepting and loving uncle I can because I plan on being there for that kid come hell or highwater and that's all that matters.

For some reason I am so sleepy these days.
I can barely keep my eyes open during the day.

Maybe its the hayfever...

So, I'm Excited :3 mile: .



Two of my little Monarch Caterpillars (Danaus Plexippus), have begun to pupate :3. It's weird cause it's not exactly that type of season yet in Bermuda, but I guess captivity can do that. It's so exciting, cause then soon they'll be beautiful big orange/black butterflies. Luckily I have milkweed and other pretty flowers for them in my backyard, so they pretty much live back there.

You're probably wondering why I have the caterpillars, if they live in my backyard, well...

I found one trying to go out of my front gate, towards the main road and I knew he'd get squished, so I picked him up and put him back there, only to find that the neighbors got a dog, and he was sniffing up their milkweeds. So I took the one's I could get inside and put them in one of my spare Terrariums(I have alot of tanks from my father, because he owned many animals, like fish and what not and before he left me, he gave them to me.) and planted some milkweeds in there.

I told the neighbors about their dog and they got him a leash and soon the milkweeds outside started to grow again. I got alittle attached, so I only kept a few and put the rest back on the plants. Well now they're starting to pupate and I'm so excited :3. The butterflies are like turtles, they usually come back to where they were born and lay their eggs there (unless the site is gone, then they go for the next best place).

I know some of you are like "why's he playing with critters, if he's a Musician?" well, I've always been fascinated with animals and I actually want to get a degree in Zoology after I finish my Music Degree. Music's my #1 passion, but animals hug it at a close 2nd.

Anywayz, that's how I am today :3.

This is a Monarch Butterfly in May, it's a girl I believe. Hard to tell


This is what their Pupa (Chrysilis) looks like.


And this is how they look as Caterpillars :3. Adorable :3

great, I think I'm headed for another low point. I can forget about everything when I'm drunk even if its for a little while, I'm pretty sure I'll end up an alcoholic in the near future.

I am feeling relaxed, just spend almost 2 hours just laying at the Bridge (?, Water platform, deck, whatever) and just stargazing. Its just so Idyllic here in Mälarbaden, although its all to snobbish for my standards. Just walking around in the areas I am finding mansions big as fuck. Pretty ironic growing up in the one of the worst areas in Eskilstuna (Back then) (Eskilstuna was also ranked as the 3'rd dangerous city back then, just after Gothenburg and Stockholm, and Eskilstuna was the 10'th largest compare to the third and biggest city in Sweden) to the most expensive and "Nicest" areas. I love living so close to nature and the lake, but not such a classy area, to snobbish.

A tad bit anxious , watching the river levels like a hawk.
A touch tired as well.
But it is what it is , and I would never leave this wonderful country.

Fairly good, been running on about 5hrs of sleep so far :biggrin: .

I've been playing all morning with my Snailies <3 and my Turtle. (My Caterpillars are pupating , so they're boring right now :p ) I've been playing Music for them, even though my snails are blind and deaf .

A few of my friends are going away until after summer (I'm saving my money for college/my trip to my aunts house, cause me and my mom are not rich :x ), so my pets are all I have for now and you guys of course .

It's a beautiful day here on the island, lots of Lizards and birds and bugs everywhere :3. Sun is shining, crisp wind, lots of pretty flowers, an over all good day to be alive I reckon <3 . I went to the beach early in the morning (just a short walk from where I live) and saw a few Ghost crabs and Sand Pipers on the beach and a whole school of fish. I almost kicked a Giant Land Hermit Crab, but I noticed him and jumped over him :3. I wish I had my iPod with me, it's very beautiful here today.

Anywho, that's about it. I think I'm developing another cold :mad: , but other than that all is right with nature (today :/ ).

My perfect day is the opposite of yours Queen mile: it was a beautiful rainy day today, it was nice and dark out around noon then the bottom dropped out and a couple thunder storms rolled through.I went for a fun drive in the middle of it to pick up some games and run some errands.

I'm fine today Got my haircut but my friends as usual are bagging on me saying its ugly and such when I do acknowledge I don't look good with short hair, but one of them is taking an extra mile and dropped my call on purpose because he wants me to have long hair. Hes the one whos constantly thinking he knows whats best for me when its only matters relating to life where I actually agree with him. On my hair no; I don't like it long and I don't like it short. That's my choice. My mom paid for it though so I cant really say anything. If I had a job Id maintain it at the length I want. They all usually get over it in about a day and if he keeps this up Imma have to say something to him because hes acting like an immature brat if he does keep it up.
