Good morning!

It's like 10 something right now here in L.A. I slept really well last night for the first in many weeks. Last night I began taking something for my for my "manic-depressive illness" aka Bipolar disorder. If you don't know what that is here's some info (I got it from a website lol):

Bipolar disorder, formerly called manic-depressive illness, is a condition that affects more than two million Americans. People who have this illness tend to experience extreme mood swings, along with other specific symptoms and behaviors. These mood swings or "episodes" can take three forms: manic episodes, depressive episodes, or "mixed" episodes.

The symptoms of a manic episode often include elevated mood (feeling extremely happy), being extremely irritable and anxious, talking too fast and too much, and having an unusual increase in energy and a reduced need for sleep. It's also very common for someone to act impulsively during a manic episode, and engage in behaviors that are risky or that they later regret, like spending sprees. And in over half of all manic episodes, people are troubled by delusions or hallucinations. For example, they may think they have a relationship with someone famous, claim to be an expert in an area they really know nothing about, feel paranoid (unusually fearful), or hear voices that are not there.

The symptoms of a depressive episode often include an overwhelming feeling of emptiness or sadness, a lack of energy, a loss of interest in things, trouble concentrating, changes in normal sleep or appetite, and/or thoughts of dying or suicide.

A mixed episode includes symptoms that are both manic and depressive.

So now I'm taking meds and Ray says they'll begin working after a few days. I'm so happy to finally get something to help me out. I really don't know why I'm writing a blog about this, but I guess I'm too excited about getting help to care what anyone thinks! lol

Birthday next week!! woot woot!!!

Howdy yall! It's been like fucking forever since I last wrote one of these stupid things-all thanks to Mr.Holloweigh's laptop's internet fucking up! Gee thanks Elly. lmao oh well it's been a little healthier for me getting away. So anyways life has been so surreal and exciting lately!!! Where the hell do I begin?

Well, I'll start with today.

Today we're all in Los Angeles, California! Home to the sun, rich people and lots and lots of CRAZY shit! I feel so out of place here that it's insanely cool. Fo reals...I'm not even kidding! We (DPS and TMT) drove up here at the ass crack of dawn to go surfing. The surf was AMAZING! Me, Amsterdam, Ray, Danny and Trevie all caught some waves, while everyone else just sat and observed the magic. I haven't surfed in such a long time so I was kind of weak for the first hour. We surfed from 5 in the morning to about 12 or 1. _I don't remember..._ Then I got buried alive by one crazy British bitch aka Alice...and several insane little girls! (Mikayla, I know you already know this story because you were pretty much THERE ha ha) 'Oh let's all bury Gerry in the sand, that'd be funny!'...not cool.. oh well I survivied. ..luckily..I might have a case of the major "cooties" because they all decided to give me a big kisses afterwards..lmao

Later tonight we all had a show at this one club in the inner downtown part of L.A. Of course, as always, we opened the show up and then The Misfit Toys concluded the night with their part. It was very exciting, but I really wasn't too impressed by the California spotlight. I honestly thought playing in Nevada was a lot funner! lol Oh well. After me, Trevie and Steven performed we decided to go prowl the streets because just sitting around was getting very lame. It's not like we were expecting any sexed up underage groupies or crazed number one fans lmao So what's the point of hanging out backstage when we could be out exploring!? So anyways we walked for about a block and discovered this wonderful slice of heaven...an actual internet cafe! So now I'm on here and ladeeda there's a new enty!

I added some new pics (well they're new for the internet at least... lmao, took them with my camera-sent em to Mikayla first, now they're here...ENJOY)

Dead Poets Society kicks ass! woot woot!

We'll be in Cali the rest of this week and weekend and we'll be taking a break for about 3 weeks and will be celebrating my 15th b-day at my Grandparents' reservation.

So Jesse left this morning, I'm really sad. I think everyone even my brother was upset to see him go. Stupid war. I hope it ends soon or we pull out so he can come home. I'm gonna be worrying about him every minute now, I just can't stop having nightmares about him not coming home and stuff. I just need to stay strong and positive for him- I know that's what he'd want.

Isn't she purdy?

Anyways hello all, Gerry is in the house! It's my first day of summer and I'm stuck grounded in my house...LAME...well I guess it's my fault since I did come stumbling in the door last night almost 3 hours late from when I was supposed to be home and high as a kite... yah Shall I take this story from the beginning or leave it at that?

Since I'm such a nice guy (shut up Alaina, Elly, and Ray), and I feel like telling all- I'm gonna tell the whole story from starting at school to finish.  Anyways as you know, yesterday was my last day of school! woot woot, party time right? Yah so after school me and my amigos went to this girl Shelby's pool party. We weren't really invited, but we showed up anyways because she was pretty much expecting us to come no matter what. How could we pass up that chance?  So we went there and of course she let us in (we think she likes Trevie..ha ha) The day before yesterday I was told my nemesis Charles would be there- but I really didn't care because I was just there for the party. I really didn't run into him yesterday at the party. (made the party a lot more awesome) Shelby had a HUGE pool, LOTS of food, and a GINORMOUS house and a FREAKIN Dj.

After a while I just lost my cool, and had to leave the party (for reasons I don't wanna talk about) so me, Trevie, and Steven left Plasticpopularpartyland to go find something else to do. I was like an hour away from the time I was supposed to be home but instead of going home,  we ended up walking three blocks to Steven's stoner friend Joey's house. Joey is like 15,would still be in the 7th grade if he didn't drop out, and the huggest stoner you've ever met in your life. I didn't really know him, and neither did Trevie, so we just kind of sat back and socialised with eachother rather then with "Joey". lmao The guy was weird, and him and some of his other dread-locked friends and Steven all decided to light up. Excellent...So you can see where all of this is going to lead up to. So I remember looking down at my watch and it being like an hour passed the time I was supposed to be home.  But all I could say was "whoaa...he he" instead of "hey guys I need to be home like now.." lol Instead of going home Steven was like "hey i like found this..he he...one skatespot..like in the middle of the moon..hehe..I mean alley mann.." so of course me and Trevie were like "awesome dude..whoaa you should totally show us".  So we rode to the so called skatespot on the moon which took like another hour because we were totally buzzed and took so many fuckin detours that it wasn't even cool.

After that I finally managed to get home. I walked to the front door and like fell in the door and my dad, grandpa and Ray were like sitting in the living room staring straight at me. (I was like oh shit...not good) Of course there was the "where in the fuck have you been questionaire" and the "what the fuck were you out doing".  Then my dad came up to me and I was screwed...he saw my eyes..and I was fucked for life. I was banished to my room the rest of the night..and grounded all this weekend, next and next week. This sucks..
