prom night memories...

Thu, 22 Jul 2004 07:03:10 GMT

me and ingrid were finishing up the final touches of my beautiful citation paper (due in a day) and there were the funny moments of the conversation:
looking back on the night i got my citation and having to write this stupid fucken paper i came to a conclusion...
"i remember fully what happened that night, i got there, jane left, i had some stuff to drink (and by some lets just say i had a few and the rest i dont remeber) and the cops showed up..... yeah"
my citation letter conclusion:
"This citation made me realize how irresponsible and narrow minded i was to pick up my first drink EVER that night, and i am fully planning on not drinking again until i am of age, but you know... the drinking age is younger in canada and europe is a whole other story"

"its not good when i get drunk because when im drunk i kiss girls" lol (inside joke, not serious)

This past weekend I was given a citation for underage drinking. I had never
realized what I was doing until it finally caught me. Until this weekend,
drinking was no big deal. Whether its drinking a lot with friends or a
little when Im alone. Growing up in a family where my parents and sibling
drink, it was tough to not want to experiment. I never really understood why
I drank, I just did it. I dont think I ever did it to be cool. At times I
feel stupid, but other times I feel happier then ever. After finally coming
to reality with this citation I am now realizing that drinking really does
nothing for me. I was almost grateful that I was caught. I wanted a reason
to stop drinking.
My friends are a huge influence on me, just as much as my family. My parents
never really understood that they influenced me like that. My friends
however, drank with me, and it became a routine and the natural thing to do
together. At times we would drink, throw up, and go to bed. I never once
realized how stupid that is, until I was given the chance to look back. My
actions are wrong, and always have been wrong. Looking back from outside the
circle helped me realize where I need to change myself.
I sat down with my parents and let them know how I felt. They were
astonished to hear that I had so much to drink. They knew I had tried some
alcohol before, but not as much as I had that night. I let my parents know
that I dont want to continue using alcohol until I am of age, where I can
be a little bit more responsible for the amount I consume. After having a
conversation with them, I realized that all they cared about was my safe
being, they had a reason to be mad, but more then anything they were glad
that I was okay.

I also struck up a conversation with all my friends. I let them know how I
felt, it didnt matter to me how they reacted. I just wanted them to know
that I was through with drinking. Surprisingly they understood what I was
saying. They respected my decision. I can now proudly say that I have
successfully influenced a few of my friends to pull away from alcohol. It is
a great feeling to know that you helped out someone realize what they were
doing wrong.
I remember what I was thinking when I first saw the police come rushing into
the house. All I really wanted to do was drop to the ground and start
crying, because I knew I was making a huge mistake, and it was too late. I
think that many kids felt the same way I did, and I think that many kids are
not being honest with themselves. Most the kids that are made to write this
paper are probably making this as a huge joke, and just doing it to get the
police off their backs. I think that they need to stop and think about
their choices, it really does work.
I want to thank whoever caused the party to be broken up; many kids were
heading in the wrong direction, who knows what might have happened. I never
could see myself writing a thank you note to a police officer for breaking
up a party where I was illegally using alcohol. Coming out of my
narrow-minded viewpoint helped me and others significantly. I hope this has
an effect on my future, for all I know I might be the one 10 years from now
helping kids with the problem that I had. Thank you for allowing me to
realize what I was doing wrong.

Sincerely,
Cheri Miller... a.k.a. matts attempt

my brother is going in to the army ... every one is telling me everything is going to be fine nothing is going to happen to my brother because he has to go through training and everything o and the war will be over and blablabla... but every time i turn around there moving his date to go in sooner y is he leaving earlier than he was before y do they want to take him away sooner. everyone in my family acts like its no big deal they put a smile on there faces and act like there nothing is wrong. but when no one is looking they brake down my dad cracks jokes about my brother leaving trying to brake the ice but deep down in side he knows his only son is leaving, growing up. my mom cried to me yesterday because she knows the true reason y my brother is leaving...to prove to my dad, family that he is more than what anyone expected. My sister doesn't care she is in her own world I really haven't seen her care about whats going on I think she hides it...thats what she was taught to do. and then there is me I just try to keep my self busy so I don't have to stop and think about whats going on.
