Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!
Man what a day it was! Eventful in good and bad ways.
First of all, since my air mattress is in the living room, and the tree is in the living room, there was a cranky birdie this morning because a certain someone was too eager to get the Wolverine action figure...A certain someone who had the nerve (and guts) to wake up at four just to check his stocking for it.
You don't want to see me when I'm cranky, okay?
So after yelling at Ulric in the loudest whisper I could possibly do without waking the house up, I dragged him back upstairs to his bedroom. Then I slept until seven thirty, which is when Trin came downstairs with Johnny. By then I had to get up.
So once Jalana was up, we opened presents...
And I got this frickin' sweet red digital camera that is totally, utterly and completely kick-ass to the fullest extent.
Best christmas present!!!
Anyway...
Trin actually liked the Hollister shirt I bought for her, and Ulric spazzed out over that crappy bling I bought him, and then he said it was cheep, and he wore it for the whole entire day.
What's odd is that he came up to me when no one else was around and said he really liked it. I asked him why he had to wait until we were alone in the house, and he said it would ruin his reputation and self-pride if he let it on that he actually didn't think of me as some stupid do-do bird.
As Trinity says, "He's a jerk and a sweetheart at the same time." I guess that's more accurate than I thought.

Crap! Gotta go! I'll finish when I can!

Yay!

Aleron's over, and I'm going to have him type a little somenorother here.
I just need to grab him. He's in the kitchen getting hot chocolate.

hey everyone. Aleron here. Red wanted me to type something so here it is. cool blog huh? i'm taking her out walking today so we're going to be leaving soon. I never knew that Trinity, Ulric and her all lived together because Trinity and Ulric are dating...but Red said that it was a long complicated process and they weren't related at all. They all have diferent last names so I guess that explains it. Ive heard horror stories from Red about Urlic and Trinity...not sex stories tho! Red made sure that was clear. I did get her Linkin park tickets and we are going to see them in febuary. I was happy she likes the band because I spent a lot of money on those! I like them too. They are next on the list to Puddle of Mud. Ozzy too. So I'm going to hand the comupter back to Red now since she looks like she wants to write more.


See? My god I can't believe I actually hooked up with him! He's so adorable...
So yeah, we're going to go walking now, so I'm signing off.

Oh yeah. I forgot. This is a video I took at the dance.

Winter Break!!!

Winter break!!!!
Yay!
No school for two holy weeks!!!
FINALLY!
Anyway...
Aleron is coming over tomorrow for a little "Christmas moment" with me (Grins), and Ulric was being annoying and started putting mistletoe above all the door frames.
Whatever.
But I'm excited! I mean seriously!
Trinity is annoyed with me because of Aleron.
"He's such a good boyfriend!" she said. "I'm jealous!" You have to feel sorry for Trinity. All Ulric does is ask her if she can give him a blow job.
But you have to remember, he's a wolf at heart.
Poor Trin. She misses having Johnny as a boyfriend. I think she feels a little insecure if she doesn't have someone to cuddle with.
And Ulric's not very cuddly.
Aleron says he has something special to give me tomorrow, and now I'm wondering what it is.
He's already given me those Linkin Park tickets, so what else does he want to give me? A kiss? A box of chocolates? A partridge in a pear tree?
I think that last one is a little redundant.
Despite my loathing for Ulric, I bought him a present. I got him this snazzy watch. Not a Rolex though, because those things are too damn expensive, but it's pretty pimpin' all the same.
And I bought him some cheesy bling, just to make him happy.
I bought Trin a pink Hollister shirt, just for the kicks.
Somehow I believe Ulric bought me bird-feed, just because he's annoying that way.
Wow. My first real Christmas in a real home. This is going to be interesting.

I'm Currently at School

Yeah, so I'm at school right now, in Study Hall. And it's Finals Week so I have nothing to do.
I got a three pack of Choxie chocolate from my secret snowflake, and I'm rather surprised considering I asked for Hershey's chocolate.
Here's what it says on the tag.
"Milk chocolate lover's truffle bar trio: Three fabulous truffle-filled flavors for a gift that's always in the very best of taste." Huh. Interesting.
Anyway, Shredder's not here for Finals. He's gone again because his "job" requires it.
Oh! By the way, Aleron got Linkin Park concert tickets to go see Linkin Park in Febuary!!!
My favorite band...
He says that it's going to be our first serious date.
I am psyched!!! I heard over the radio that these tickets are for sale, but I couldn't get one from ticket master...
And now Aleron shows up today with a ticket for me as an early Christmas present.
God I love him!
I think there is someone in the jealousy department though. Jessica, one of Clarissa's preppy girl friends, has had a crush on Aleron since seventh grade, and now that I have him, she has made me a sworn enimy.
Trinity knows that feeling though, except it's every other girl who's jealous, not just one.
Did I tell you that Ulric has been labled the second-hottest guy in the school? The first is this black guy named Chris, who's a junior.
But anyway. I think Jessica's got an ax to grind with me. She won't stop until she gets Aleron.
Which will never happen, since Aleron told me that she was not his type of girl. She's too much of a ditz for him to handle.
And if Aleron is the human/avian recombined hotty I suspect he is...
Oh, Ulric is making a new blog too. He doesn't like his old one because it's not "hack proof". So he's making a new one, and I can put up the address as soon as I can get it.
So yeah. Nothing more I can really write. Except Aleron was sick last weekend and couldn't come over. He's better now.

So...

In school we're doing this thing called Secret Snowflake, where people have to draw a name from a hat and get that person a small gift under ten dollars. I just wrote down that I wanted chocolate to make it easy for whoever got me.
I got Max, so I'm planing to pop into Hot Topic and pick up something emo for him, since that's his style. Maybe more chains for his pants or something.
He and Lana are always seen together, and they get picked on for being "emo". Max swears she's a vampire and will one day ask her to make him one too, so they could seal their dark love forever.
Sure.
Speaking of love, I can't tell you how great it's been to have Aleron for a boyfriend!
Actually, I can.
At first it was still a little tentative. It was talking and the holding hands while in the halls type thing. Nothing special. But then last weekend he called me up and we went out to the movies. After that, we went to get ice cream.
I couldn't put a finger on it at that time, but this scenario seemed familiar. As if it happened to someone else...
The ice cream shop is not far from Jalana's haircutting place, and Ulric, wonder of all wonders, comes strolling past.
I see him out the big window. He grinned and gave me a thumbs-up. I flicked him off, fuming. Aleron was smiling.
"Don't get worked up, Maximum," he said.
"Hardy har har," I said as Ulric walked off. "As long as a carbon copy of me doesn't appear I'm good."
"Right," said Aleron. "One Red is enough."
"Yeah, and it wasn't Max and Fang sitting at the table in Ye Olde Ice Creame Shop. It was Max and that other guy. I forgot his name."
"If it was Max and Fang," said Aleron. "They would have taken him on." I grinned wryly, knowing we were both formulating a plan in our evil minds.

We pitched our empty ice cream cups and charged down the street after Ulric.

I think that one incident was what brought me and Aleron together, because after that, we were like, never apart from each other.
He's going to be coming over sometime this weekend, I think. I'll see if I can get him to post a little somethin' or other on my blog, since he absolutely refuses to have any pictures taken of him.
Like seriously.

Oh, and Trinity? She's hanging in there. She discovered Johnny has a new girlfriend, but she was okay with it, for the most part. I think she would have wanted to know ahead of time that he wanted someone else.
Aw well.
I think she's getting a feel for Ulric though. She's starting to really like him, and she says he's different when he's not around everyone. He's a great guy, she said. Ulric's not really the sex-driven wolf he appears to be.
Yeah, and the first thing he did when we met him was hit on us...
Ulric's started to call me "Pidge" now, which is an abbreviation for "Pigeon". He's becoming less wild and I can tolerate him more. I think his wolfish heart is growing soft from the civilized life he lives.

More later. Aleron wanted me to call him around now.

-Red

P.S. - Because all attempts of getting Johnny's skateboard out of the tree has failed, I'm getting him a new one for Christmas. Yes it is still stuck in the tree, and by the looks of it, it's broken.
Ulric really did a number on it. It was a crappy skateboard anyway.

Sorry...I'm Being a Slacker

Yeah, I know I have been slacking on the posting.
It's just going to be less frequent.
"Finals" for school are coming up, so my teachers are all in a frenzy and there's a heckuva lot of work...

And More Stuff

So, it's official.
Aleron's my boyfriend. And now here I am thinking "holy shit" every time I refer to him as that. But so far the experience has been, well, thrilling. I mean I know him pretty well, and it's not like he doesn't know me.
But there is still that void with the big fat question mark floating in my head, if you know what I mean.
I mean, that question mark wouldn't be there if my suspicions haven't been aroused.
Which they have.
Aside from all that though, I can't believe we are together! At long last! Other than being a really great boyfriend, he is a really great friend. Totally dependable, understanding, and a great listener.
Not to mention we share some common interests.
It's been awesome, and school isn't boring at all anymore.
Trinity on the other hand, has some romantic issues of her own. Her reputation is that she's going out with Ulric, but in real life she's not. She has her eye on several of the cuter guys (except Aleron, who she said wasn't her type), but Ulric still has his eye on her.
So she's stuck.
Max and Lana are so in love that they hardly even part from each other. They look great together though, and I'll leave it as that.
Nothing happened at school worth writing about. Just the same stuff. But with Aleron mixed in with the picture. Shredder's gone again, and Clarissa seems a little lost and a little insecure without her burly bodyguard to protect her. Shredder apparently has a new "job" and the principle allows him to skip school because of it. He's only coming twice a week or so now. And without their leader, Shredder's gang is slacking on the bullying. They don't beat people up after school now. They just hang around smoking dope and doing drugs and crap.
I had to inject more mutant repressant in me, Trin, and Ulric. It didn't wear off then but it was really close! And I don't want my wings coming out of my back when I'm around Aleron.
Just in case.

The Dance Biz

So here I have you poor reader hanging on the brink to know exactly what happened at the dance.
Here's my answer.
A lot.
But before I get started up on all that, here's what happened before the dance.
Jalana knew that I was going with a boy, (you know how parents just know), and being a hair stylist, she did me up.
She made me sit in one of those chairs and she took out a flat iron and straightened my hair. My hair, naturally, is wavy and thick, sometimes stubborn. Never the same way twice. Uncooperative. But Jalana made it straight! Like the way I never seen it be.
Then she made Trin's hair all curly and thick-looking. It looked, well, gorgeous. Ulric didn't want to take his paws off it.
But then I had make-up put on me, so I couldn't rub my eyes (gaaah!).
I went in casuals, and Trin wore a skirt. Ulric went in his "wangsta" outfit (which looks similar to the one in the picture I made).
Then we went.
At the dance, there were strobe lights and colorful lights, and fog machines and a crap load of dance music. I was on the floor, jack. (This is before Aleron came). Trinity and I grooved while Ulric started a grind-fest up. Trin complimented me by saying I danced with obvious weightlessness.
Sure.
She can dance too, you know. She got Ulric going with her ass-shaking.
And then, Aleron arrived. Gorgeous, as usual.
I don't know if it was the fog machine, the heat, or the lights, but I felt unusually woozy around him. In a good way though. Like the "close to fainting in his arms" way.
I can't believe I'm talking like this.
He came up to me, smiling, and I smiled and we said "hi". The usual approach.
And as if on cue, the lights dimmed, the strobe lights stopped, and then came on slow-dancing.
He took me out to the middle of the dance floor, and held me as we swayed like the other high-school lovers out there.
Looking over Aleron's shoulder for the moment, I saw Ulric and Trinity. They were slow-dancing. Like real. No grinding, no attempts to touch Trin's butt, nothing disgusting like that. The both seemed to enjoy it, and I felt relieved.
I spotted another familiar person out in the crowd. Johnny. He had his arms around this girl with long dark hair. They looked great together, I might add, and Trinity didn't seem to notice.
I knew Max wouldn't be showing up. He says he's going on a date with Lana. Probably to some Switchblade concert or something crazy like that.
Ignoring everything, I laid my head against Aleron. With my head against his chest and his arms around me, I felt his heart beat.
Thumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthump!!!
The heck!
I almost pulled myself away. What the heck?! Was he frickin' on steroids or something?
He might have noticed me tense, and I quickly relaxed again. Curiously, I brought my finger up to my neck and found my pulse. It was the same rapid crazy speed, maybe a little faster or slower.
"Something the matter, Red?" he asked me.
"Your heart is beating fast," I said, choosing not to ignore it. "Are you excited or something?"
"Nervous," said Aleron. I noticed he was uneasy.
But about then the slow-dance stopped, and the fast music came on again. He seem relieved to break apart from me. He then said he needed some fresh air, and went outside for a moment. I followed.
It was cold out. But that didn't matter to me, since my blood is hot.
Aleron looked a little anxious. Maybe upset. I asked him why, and he said he was feeling a little overheated.
Again I asked why. And then he said it was nothing.
You know, it all adds up. The feather, why Aleron is a track champion, his knowledge for birds, and his heart beating at a zillion miles an hour.
Now I needed dead solid proof.
"Aleron," I said. "You're hiding something." He did and said nothing. "Tell me the truth."
"What do you mean Red?" he said, sounding antsy.
"Did this or did this not belong to you?" I said, holding up the feather he gave me. "It's quite a strange gift to give a girl, you know."
"It was mine," said Aleron. I sighed. I took another feather from my pocket, one that was mine. It's just black. No gold. But it was most certainly from my wing.
"Aleron," I said. "I'll tell you the truth." I held the feather out to him. He looked at me, sort of shocked.
Then suddenly, as if we knew, we wrapped our arms around one another...
...And kissed...
There's my proof right there.

The rest of the night was just partying. Me and Aleron talked, danced, ate the snacks, laughed, etc.
It's was great. I was upset when the dance ended, but I was pooped anyway. A part of me wanted to go crawl up in my bed and sleep until noon the next day, but another part was dying to unfurl my wings and fly through the cold air, preferably with Aleron.
But I ended up going home tired and happy. Me and Aleron said a long good-bye, and he kissed me on the cheek.
It makes me think that the high school life isn't so bad, that being a normal teenager does have its upsides.
Who knows. All of this can get pretty exciting.
On a different note, Ulric and Trin keep referring to me and Aleron as lovebirds, which gets annoying after the first fifty million times.
But, you know, that's life for you.

Man what a night...
