So you guys, I started school on September 10th! It was absolutely insane the first few days that I attended there. The school is huge! Well, more so wide huge than tall huge. My old school (GO BIG BLUE!) was three stories high with a two story annex and music suite along with portables. This has an east and west wing and freshman campus. It's pretty nifty, but I miss my old school. I haven't been able to make friends here and this is absolutely crushing my confidence. I really want to move back home. I'm supposed to visit in December for my winter break but I am afraid I will not want to come back once I see all my friends and my daddy. Times are tough. Not to mention I'm already failing school and I've turned in every assignment! It's absolutely insane you guys, but I will still strive for the best.

On a somewhat good/bad note I wasn't able to see the love of my life for a month but he finally got a car and picked me up! I was so happy to see him. He actually admitted to his wrong-doings and such so that boosted my ego har har! Last night we pre-ordered Kingdom Hearts 358/2! So I am guaranteed to have it along with four post cards and a poster from GameStop.


Wish me luck in the near future.

Much love,
Kristina

It has been almost 3 weeks since my best friend has passed. I must say, I am feeling better than ever. I have deeply thought about what she'd want me to do in a dire time like this and then I thought about some favorite video game quotes and one rang a bell oh so well.

It's from Regal Bryant from Tales of Symphonia, and it goes something like this (or along the lines of) "No matter how dire the situation it takes true courage to smile."

.....Or....something haha. Either way it gave me hope and courage to uplift my spirits.

In the midst of the chaos as well I actually treated myself to a few video games. I bought the remake of the original Ape Escape on the PSP, Spyro the Dragon 2:Ripto's Rage! for the PSP and Sexy Poker (WiiWare) for the Wii.

I must say, Ape Escape didn't disappoint me so far but Spyro 2 has. I mean, the first one was absolutely stunning so I thought I'd something even better. Boy was I wrong.

I paid 5.99 for it, so not too much was lost, but still. It saddens me to say that I think the first will always be the best, and I usually like sequels...

Anyway, August 25th and me have a date. I am going to the nearest Best Buy here in Grand Rapids Michigan (my new home you guys!) to buy Final Fantasy Dissidia. This will be a -late- birthday gift to me from me. My other birthday gift comes out September 29th and I'm sure you all know what that is if your a fan of the series like I am. It's Kingdom Hearts 358/2 for the Nintendo DS.

Well another positive note is that I have officially moved to Michigan, my father is in fact allowing me to stay thank god, he said I have to be in school so this coming week that is all I'm going to be doing. Attempting to get my rear in school and finally having a worthwhile life. Oh two more things, and I started playing my downloaded version of Final Fantasy VII that I bought from the Playstation Network annnnnd I finally got those Club Nintendo Animal Crossing: Wild World exclusive playing cards! I'm very happy. :3

Speaking of Animal Crossing...I need to play...all three of them soon..my Wii might-as-well-be dead haha I haven't touched it so long.

Thanks so much for listening to my rant you guys. I appreciate it!

-Much love,

Kristina.

Miranda Joy Zant

[link] <--- This is a picture of her, please, if you read this entry click this.

I had the opportunity to meet her in 6th grade at Lake Shore Middle school. I didn't ever hang out with her, I barely even talked to her. It was just a hey in the hallway throughout 6th, 7th and 8th grade. Then we both attended Robert E. Lee high school for 9th and 10th grade year and we instantly clicked and became the best of friends. We had 6 classes together (9th and 10th combined) and we always had such fun together. We would always joke with Mr. Truitt about sailing to Canada, burning in hell, Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers or even life itself, or talk to Coach Glass about our class being full of knuckle heads. Sometimes we would argue because we both have such strong personalities but we never sweated over the small stuff. I loved her like a younger and older sister. She was one of the best people one could ever meet, one of a kind. She was full of life and light, energy, love and even hope. She brought my spirits up when I needed it the most, told me exactly what I need to hear rather than telling me what I wanted to hear. She was one of my best friends, and it's unfortunate she was robbed of her breath so soon in life. I will miss her laugh, her smile, hearing her voice, watching her walk with her chin held high and I will even miss the depressed, angry and nervous sides of her. They are what made her whole, and well, her. Miranda had Joy as her middle name for an obvious reason and that reason was because she was the Joy in many peoples lives. Mine, Cassandra, Miss Rita, Mr. Matt, Jazlynne, Sam, Bryan, Taylor, Amal and all her other friends. She's what kept most of us up when we were down. She was a carefree spirit, acting as if the earth would never cease to exist. She kept most of us going toward our dreams and moving to the future one step at a time. Everyday I spent with Miranda was a beautiful one. One of my favorite memories with her was just before school let out 2008-2009 year. It was just an average day in Mrs. Chamblin's class. Me, Her, Taylor sitting in our desks. She always turned her desk toward me to piss Mrs. Chamblin off and that day she did what was considered the daily routine for us. Turned her desk and faced me, sat down with the beautiful smile she always shown and said "KRISTINA!" I can't even remember all the topics we covered that day and altogether. We talked about life, death, the near and far future, the summer and just how much we love one another. Although she is no longer with us physically, she will always be in our hearts and the memories we shared together. They stick by us as she did through thick and thin, always and forever. Miranda, it's unfortunate I was never able to tell you the things that I should have, but know that I always loved you no matter what and you knew that. I can never meet another individual like yourself, and you can never be replaced. You were a miracle in my life, you changed me, moved me and locked a hold of my heart. You were an inspiration to myself and others. As I stated up there, my only regret is that I wasn't able to spend enough time with you and let you know just how much you meant to me. How much I wanted you to strive for higher and even higher goals. Miranda, you will be missed until we can finally meet again somewhere beyond time and space and the clouds in the sky. I love you, my Yoshi and I miss you so much.

I lost my best friend in a drunk car crash. I'm so depressed. I don't know what to do.

Rest In Peace Miranda Joy Zant

September 9th, 1992 to July 27th, 2009


I love you so much.

Yaaaaay! I'll update later how it goes! <3

Alright here goes:

So I woke up bout 9ish this morning and Maddie, my boyfriends sister, made me french toast. She is by far the best cook I have ever met in my life. So I scarfed down those three pieces she made me and relaxed a little after I finished eating. Then I got a call from my mom, cousin, sister and dad saying happy birthday. I was surprised to get those considering my relationships with my parents but nevertheless I appreciated them. Couple hours pass as I surf the net and it winds up to be 4 and Maddie makes us dinner. It consisted of classical mac n cheese and hot dogs. Delicious!

After we eat we drive down to Alpine's Best Buy. I have never been in this Best Buy before, considering I just moved to Michigan, but it was amazing! I went insane at the amounts of video games and anime they had. Massive amounts of all my favorite titles. I bought Clayton an Xbox 360 wireless racing wheel for Forza 2 and 1600 Microsoft points. That came to 128 dollars. I spent 76 on myself. I bought myself The Legendary Starfy for Nintendo DS for two reasons. A. I've wanted this game for awhile. B. I am registered on Club Nintendo as an Elite Member or something like that and I'm striving to get these Animal Crossing playing cards. They are 500 coins and I now have 450, anyone want to donate 50 coins? If so, note me please and I'll tell you how to do that. The other gift I bought was Trinity Blood: The Viridian Collection. I love that anime, although I was torn between Fruits Basket and that. I think I should have gotten both, but I can't be greedy. T_T

Anyway, we get back to the house and Maddie makes this beautiful birthday cake for me, decorated and all! I've never had that happen to me before! I'm so grateful! Now I sit here, talking to my friend Anthony and watching Clayton play Forza 2. I could not have asked for anything else. This birthday has been by far the best, it's incomparable!

Thanks to my friends that gave me birthday wishes:
Clayton
Becky
Jeff
Maddie
Amber
Ciara
Hope
Miranda
Jasmine
Zach
Mom
Dad
Raymond
Andrea
Pokelord-EX

If I missed anybody, which I doubt I did, I'm very sorry! I will update the list if you notify me!

Anyway, thanks to you all around the world that has made this day so special. It will live forever in my heart.

Love,
Kristina
