Re-establishing Lost Friendships

The first time I ate in San Diego, i went to a church. While I was there I made some new acquaintences. One was a guy who had part of his nose bitten off. He told me that one time when he was in a fight, the guy he was fighting came up to his face and bit his nose.

Before I came to California, I had a lot of friends who would stop at nothing to talk to me. I had known most of them for at least three years, some of them only a few months. They all considered me leader and the peace maker. I was the one who brought them together and prevented all arguments. After I moved I tried to keep in touch with them via e-mail, but they started to drift away. Some of them started to ignore my messages, some shut down their e-mail accounts, and others just forgot who I was. It wasn't until recently that I got in contact with three of them for a couple of weeks. Now I have only one person to talk to on the internet because no one else answers me. Because I can't get a hold of certain people who I really cared for, I have a feeling of abandnment. I have to have one person to talk to everyone else just to know how they are getting along. I have even resorted to putting them in charge in place of me so people can band together again. I just hope that it works and everyone will come back together.

MY VERSION OF THE GRINCH THAT STOLE CHRISTMAS

This story happen when i was not homeless. I was living in City Heights when i was in kindergarten. It was Christmas and my whole family had ate cut up hot dogs in some mac and cheese for dinner. To my surprise my mom came out of the back room with a gift for all of us but not wrapped. All eight of my bothers and sisters were happy with the one gift that we got that Christmas. I had got a black barbie doll that came with a blue dolphin that was able to swim in the tub with you. I had not even opened my gift yet, when my parents took off to the store. We were left with are older housemate, who must have been fiending for some drugs. HE SAT UP THERE AND STOLE ALL EIGHT OF OUR GIFTS!! This is the first Christmas I members.

tent fire

This one time my parents went to the store to go get something for breakfast and told my brother to watch me and to not let the fire go out. So they left us some gas to put on it so it wouldn’t go out. Me and my brother were waiting in the tent because it was still early and cold. Then we thought about the fire and went outside and it was almost out. So my brother went and got the gas can and I took it from him and put some of the gas on the fire. Then like 20 minutes later I was bored so I decided that the fire needed more gas so I threw the whole gas can in the fire and the fire flew up and made a huge hole in the side of the tent and right then my parents came pulling up in the van and they saw the huge hole in the tent and I blamed it on my brother that was at the time sleeping in the tent. He got in a lot of trouble and I didn’t! I was so surprised.

Snake in the Truck

On my first night here in San Deigo, I was having trouble getting to sleep. So when I was in the bed of my step-dad's truck, I took the belt I was wearing off and started to play with it. I slid over to the edge of the bed and started to make the belt "slither" up the sides to make it look like a snake. When people saw the belt they started to run away yelling snake, snake, run there's a snake in the back of that truck. My brother and I were laughing so hard that we got tears in our eyes and we woke up our parents. We did this so long that we eventually fell asleep and the next thing that I knew I was being woken up by a security guard at the St.Vincent De Paul homeless shelter.

geese

The craziest place that I ever lived was at a camp site in Ramona. I was in like 3rd grade so I was about 8 or 9 years old. I really liked it when I lived there because I got to go on a lot of adventures when we were there. There was a pond that I went to a lot that had a lot of geese and I used to go to the ranger station and buy food to feed the geese and ducks. I always wanted to go and my parents were tired of bringing me there so they told me "no". It was like 6 in the morning and I got up and got ready and went to the ranger station and bought food and went to the pond with my brother. When we got there it was still really muddy from a few days earlier when it had rained. So when we got near the pond we sank in and we couldn’t get out. I was knee high in mud and the geese were headed for me. They started pecking me and took the food from me and I was scared. About an hour later the ranger came on a little car thing and my parents were in the back and they were really mad. I just remember that I wasn’t allowed to go to the pond anymore.
