wow...just...wow

So..yeah. I found out that over the weekend my father hit someone on a bike while driving..and fled the scene. I don't know the details of the victim nor how badly they were injured..if at all. I'm going to assume that there was some injury because you can't get hit by a car and everything just be fine...and if there was anything serious I'm sure I would have heard about all of the details thus far. So..yeah...he had apparently warrants out for various possession charges including cocaine...my grandmother was told that there was drugs and drug paraphranalia(sp?) throughout the vehicle. I'm sure it was just pot and a few pipes...I'm hoping anyway..anything more serious and that's way no bueno. so apparently he is supposed to be arraigned today..at what time I don't know. I have no clue as to what sentencing might be...everything online says jail time if there is serious bodily injury, impairment or Death..but nothing for minor injuries...assuming that it's minor injuries. Of all the crappy things my dad is capable of..I can't see him leaving someone who is seriously injured on the side of the road. I've been surprised before..but I just can't help but think there is at least that much good and common sense in him.

So my dad's in jail...the major problem for me..is that my dad had aggreed to help me out this semester because I had so little bit in FInancial aid left because of the purchase of my Flute last Spring. So..I am really hoping that the stars will align in such a way that I will not have to drop out this semester and finish next fall(cause the last music class that I need is only offered this semester.....).

So I would greatly appreciate any prayers you could send my families way.

Learning experiences

I rode the bus home yesterday and while eavesdropping on the bus driver talking to another rider that she knew pretty well..(there wasn't really a choice..he was sitting next to me and she was yelling from the drivers seat).

She has two kids..one of them is a boy. He's had a troubled childhood lately. Been moved around schools a lot..one cause he was in a lansing ghetto school..then he went to a catholic school..got severely bullied and picked on a lot at both..and now is in a school of choice and apparently doing very well.

She is finishing up a history degree and only has a few classes left.

Her mother is a professor at a community college and her father is a general practicioner.

Bus drivers in lansing can elect to take unpaid time off during the summer and she went on a road trip with her kids to see the grand canyon.

That was interesting to me. I would have not thought that this lady(I'd say she's between 27-32) that I've seen a few times..and admittedly..wrote her off as a bitch on one occaision...was so damn interesting. I mean..that's a lot of information to eavesdrop/learn about someone in maybe a 10 minute bus ride. But she did not talk at an eccelerated speed..nor did she completely bogard the conversation with the rider next to me.

Things that make you go hmmm...

Freinds just gotta hug!

I just want to say that I absolutely cherish my freinds from the bottom of my soul.

I went down to Concord with the ABC group as Janna calls us, and totally got everything that I absolutely needed. Great belly laughs, giggling fits, hugs, massages, GREAT food and great stories. These people are truly my...everything. They're my freinds, my guides, my angels, my demons(lol), my family..they pick me up when I fall, they polish me up and make me new. They remind me that I am precious and valuable and irreplaceable just as each of them are to me. They feel life as I do, they feel... Our hearts and souls vibrate sympathetically and create such wonderful harmonies(even if the chords resolve improperly :-P).

Thank you ABC group. Even though you may not know about the turmoil in my heart and my feelings of worthlessness...you many not give me everything I want but you give me everything I need to be me..to the fullest extent of my ability.
