This is not news I want to share with あなた all. This is not news I ever wanted to share, but Roxy passed away on March 6, 2019 around 7:00 in the morning. I never expected this so soon.

Roxy had recently been 表示中 signs of being sick. The vet determined that she had kidney failure. She also had cancer in one of her kidneys. The vet 発言しました that it could be removed, but the problem was there is no local vet who does that kind of surgery. The nearest veterinary surgeon is five hours away. That kind of trip would've been too hard on Roxy. The vet also 発言しました that removing that kidney would not prevent her from having to eventually go on dialysis. I don't want to remember sweet Roxy hooked to a machine. I'd rather remember that bouncy Staffordshire ブル テリア going bonkers when we first got Roscoe, the motherly dog who took care of River, and the dog who protected my aunt when she had her appendix removed.

This isn't the first dog I've lost. I have been through this four times before, but it never gets easier. The loss of a beloved pet is not something one "gets over". The individual just learns to deal with life without that beloved pet. I have to learn to go on with life without Roxy. I loved her very much, and I miss her. I'll always miss her, but I know that I have to keep on living. I have great フレンズ like RocknRollSoul60 (Paul) and 60smusicluv (Jan). I also made wonderful フレンズ here. I know I have so much support. Paul was with me when Roxy was euthanized. He told me that he felt he needed to be with me for support. She went very peacefully, and she's not sick anymore. She's playing with her best friend, my Rottweiler, Stone, who passed away last year.

I will assure あなた that I'm not going to disappear. I'm not going anywhere. I'll also tell あなた that River and Roscoe are doing okay. They are mourning the loss of their matriarch, but they don't seem depressed. I think what helps is they have each other. They also have a friend in Paul's dog, Piper, and Jan's dog, Specs.

Run free, Roxy. I 愛 you.

It was January, and the school 年 picked back up. Glenn was still on crutches, but he was doing better. At one point, we saw some bullies picking on the new kid. Glenn said, "Come on. Let's get those bullies away from her." I said, "Good idea! I can't just stand and watch someone get bullied." The poor girl was already in the floor. The bullies were ready to beat her. Glenn 発言しました to the bullies, "Back off! I've got crutches, and I'm not afraid to use them!" The bullies backed away. I helped the girl to her feet. "Are あなた okay?" I asked. She said, "Yeah. Thanks for standing up for me." I said,...

A few months passed, and Glenn and I were becoming ever closer. One day, we got into an argument. I don't remember why we were arguing. I do remember that I went ホーム crying. Later, when I had calmed down, I decided to go over to Glenn's ホーム to make up with him. I rang the doorbell, and his mother answered. I said, "I need to talk to Glenn. I want to make up with him." She said, "I'll tell him you're here." A few moments later, she came back and said, "He's gone." I was in shock. "Gone?!" I cried. "What do あなた mean gone?" She said, "He's not here. He must've run away." I said, "I'll help you...

Some time passed, and Glenn and I were becoming close friends. One day, we had a bad 日 at school. The 日 started out fine, but it ended badly. During the last class of the day, one of my classmates started insulting me. Glenn 発言しました to her, "You're lucky that boys can't hit girls. If they could, you'd be the first one I'd hit." She said, "But girls can hit boys." He said, "Go ahead. Hit me." She punched him in the mouth. I saw a tooth fly across the room. Glenn put his finger where the tooth was supposed to be. He saw some blood and fainted. I was really scared. Up until then, I had never...

It was September 25, 2011. It was a Sunday afternoon. I was outside, soaking up crisp air. Just then, I noticed some people were moving into the house across the street. We were getting new neighbors. I noticed there was a kid about my age at the house. I decided to go over and introduce myself. I calmly walked over to him. I said, "Hi, there. I'm Autumn. It's nice to meet you." He said, "Hi. I'm Glenn. It's nice to meet you, too." I noticed he had an English accent. I said, "Great accent!" He said, "Thank you. I'm from Liverpool, England." I said, "Like the Beatles?!" He said, "Yeah, like...

After weeks of getting bullied, I was beginning to lose hope. I really needed a way to cope with my sadness. I looked at my Siberian Husky, Diesel, and said, "I wish あなた could talk. あなた could tell me what to do." He could make noises that sounded like he was talking, but he couldn't talk like a person. One day, I saw a pocket knife, and I don't know what I was thinking, but I made some cuts on my leg. It really hurt, but the pain gave me something to focus on other than how lonely I was. It made me forget about all the bullying....for a brief period. I kept doing it. I later heard a song by...

When I started the sixth grade, things seemed to be going smoothly. At lunch time, a group of kids invited me to sit with them. I thought, I'm going to have new friends. Yay! I told them about growing up in Illinois. They didn't make fun of my accent. They explained that the Midwestern accent is the accent that doesn't offend anyone. That's why most newscasters are Midwestern. I said, "Okay. Cool." One of them asked, "What kind of 音楽 do あなた listen to?" I told them, and I named a few bands that I liked. Another one of them said, "It's not 1980. Those bands shouldn't be a thing anymore." I...

When I started the fifth grade, I was dreading it. I heard that the fifth grade teacher was really mean. I thought, Is it possible that she could be worse than my fourth grade teacher? I told my aunt about my fears. She said, "Autumn, don't worry, dear. Maybe she's nice. Just give her a chance, okay?" I said, "Okay." On the first 日 of school, the teacher noticed my Beatles t-shirt. She said, "Darling, I 愛 あなた already!" I said, "Okay, then." I had recently gotten glasses, because I had trouble seeing without them, especially from a distance. Some of the kids called me "glasses". She said,...

I thought that fourth grade would be good. I thought that when I switched school districts, I would have フレンズ for once. Boy, was I wrong! Fourth grade was one of the worst school years for me. My teacher was the meanest, most hateful human being on the planet. She never hurt me physically, but she was very verbally abusive. One day, during a math lesson, I got a 質問 wrong. She took her ruler, pointed it at me, and said, "Class, at the end of this ruler is an idiot." I felt hurt, but I didn't lose it. "Which end?" I sneered. She said, "You damn bitch! 表示する some respect when あなた talk...

All too soon, I started school. I was actually pretty eager to start. I thought I would make some friends. Instead, I was bullied. When I was five years old, my aunt noticed that I was lonely. She decided to get a 子犬 to keep me company. She found a local breeder selling Siberian Husky puppies. She took me there to meet the puppies. They were all so cute. I couldn't choose one. I never did, because ONE 子犬 chose me. He had rust red and white 毛皮 and piercing blue eyes. The breeder said, "I think he likes you." We took him home, and I named him Diesel, after one of the イヌ from the movie,...

I am proud to say that I have a few good friends. They have been so good to me. They see past my scars. Unfortunately, my life wasn't always this good. This is my story. I was born in 1999. When my mother was pregnant with me, she learned that she had cancer. She refused treatment and chose to have me instead. She wanted me to have an opportunity to see the world, to grow and to learn and make friends. When I was born, I turned out to be exceptionally healthy. I was told my mother's last words to my father were "Promise me you'll take care of our little girl." He smiled and said, "I promise."...

Before I begin, I'd like to thank 80smusiclover1 for the inspiration.

1. I am generally optimistic, but I wasn't always like that. I had a little help from my friends, especially RocknRollSoul60.

2. When I'm feeling really happy, I tend to start sentences with "dude" and end them with "man." For example, "Dude, I just got a discount on that Beatles CD, man."

3. My least お気に入り color is pink. I don't dislike pink, but I'm not crazy about it. You'll never see me wearing a ピンク t-shirt.

4. I rarely wear long sleeves. Sometimes I'll wear a sweater over one. I typically wear a leather ジャケット in the...

Despite the fact that Louise was kicked out the the hate group, she still had the attitude of one. My parents had to go out of town for a weekend. At one point, Louise began beating me. She then left the house. I packed up some things and went to Gavin's house. Gavin answered the door. I said, "Gavin, I just came to say goodbye." He looked at me curiously and asked, "Where are あなた going?" I said, "I'm running away." He became wide-eyed. He said, "Please don't run away! That will only end in disaster. あなた might get hurt または worse!" I said, "It doesn't matter." He said, "Quinn, it does matter....

As the months passed, the hate group began to hate Louise, and she was kicked out. I found it rather amusing. I said, "It's pretty embarrassing when a hate group あなた like hates you." She became pale with embarrassment. "What's wrong, Louise?" I 発言しました without much sympathy. "You're looking quite pale." She glared at me. "Yeah," Gavin said, "your face is starting to match the cliffs of Dover." I fell on the ground laughing. Louise said, "You suck, Gavin!" He said, "Hey, I'm not the one who beats the hell out of my sibling. Do あなた think you're trying to make her holy または something?" I continued...

The 次 morning, I woke up to a wonderful smell. Gavin's mother was cooking breakfast. She insisted that I stay for breakfast, so I took the kind offer. I thanked Gavin and his family for their kindness and went on my way. Gavin insisted on walking with me, so I said, "Okay. It won't be so lonely that way." Along the way, we ran into my parents. My mother said, "Quinn, we've been looking everywhere for you. Where have あなた been?" I explained everything. My father thanked Gavin for helping me out. They then worked it out that Gavin's house would be my 安全, 安全です place if my parents would not be home....

As I was making my way back home, I didn't notice that my shoelaces were untied. I didn't care either. I tripped and fell. Just then, someone helped me up and asked, "Are あなた all right?" I said, "Yeah. Why do あなた care?" He said, "I was just making sure あなた weren't hurt. That's all." I said, "Sure. You'll act like あなた care, and then, you'll go waltzing to Louise just like everybody else!" He said, "I'm sorry. Who's Louise?" I looked at him, and said, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize あなた were new here." He said, "There's no hard feelings." He spoke in an English accent. He appeared to be about...

One night, my grandmother came to me in a dream. She said, "It seems that things aren't going so well here." I said, "No, they're not. Louise is teaching Sunday school for a hate group." My grandmother said, "Louise is awful young to be a Sunday school teacher. She's hardly a woman yet. She's only sixteen." I told my grandmother everything Louise had 発言しました to me. My grandmother said, "Those are horrible things to say, especially to a child. あなた haven't even turned twelve yet." I said, "I know." The 次 morning, I reluctantly went to school as usual. Kyle was my only friend. I could talk to...

I woke up in the middle of the night, frightened out of my wits. I was relieved to see the light from my night light. I took some deep breaths and 発言しました to myself, "It's all right, Quinn. あなた just had a nightmare." I stared at the ceiling, reflecting on the events of the past couple of weeks. After my grandparents passed away, I had moved to a different state with my family. Mother wanted to keep the tradition of going to church, since my grandfather was a pastor. Unfortunately, we unwittingly ended up with a hate group, similar to that of Westboro Baptist Church. My older sister, Louise, loved...

I haven't written any 記事 on my ファン club in a while. I felt like 書く a eulogy about my dog, Fluffy. Fluffy was my 秒 female dog. I remember when I got her. My aunt and uncle and I were visiting with my grandmother's sister in Florida. One of her neighbors happened to be breeding Smooth コリー puppies. I took one of them ホーム with me, and I named her Fluffy for the sake of being ironic. She was the most vocal of all the イヌ I've had. She was also very motherly. When we adopted Roxy, my Pit Bull, Fluffy accepted the pup as her own. She did the same with my Rottweiler, Stone, and with my newest dog, River. When my first dog, Diesel, passed away, Fluffy grieved もっと見る than the other dogs, save for Sadie, my Labrador. Fluffy grieved really hard when we ロスト Sadie a 年 ago. Fluffy was really smart, too. She knew hundreds of words and phrases, and I cannot possibly name all of them. I miss her very much, and so does everyone else. I'll never forget her. May she rest in peace.
It was the last night of New Religion's tour. After playing most of the songs from their album, they played a few cover songs, including System of a Down's "Ego Brain". That song had helped Erin through many, many hard times. Towards the end of the concert, Erin decided to play the final song. She said, "I'm going to play the last song. Many of あなた who ever received an autograph from me may または may not have noticed that I always sign right-handed, yet I always play ギター left-handed. Well, here's the reason. I do this in memory of my dear friend, Barry. He was a big Paul McCartney fan. When...
