hey! Just thought I would do a "Arwen's life"update. Should be doing school, but.............. I found my click in my youth group. Finally! i usually hate clicks of people, but then I realized sometimes they are a good thing. Sometimes. I'm in the anti-social, gets annoyed at preps, feels angry at moments, click. The other main click is the popular c.ool, un-spiffy click. Will do school....

Argh. I hate cliques, especially the youth group kind. *stabs youth group cliques* One of the main reasons I don't go to youth group is, well, that.
I suppose you could call Rivendell a clique.. but then, y'see, that's the difference. At least in my experience, a clique is an exclusive group which discriminates against and looks down upon the members of other groups. We're just a group of friends, because we can be fairly welcoming. But then again, are we elitist? Do we only weocome those who fit in already? I think I am a bit of a Tolkien elitist... I tend to look scornfully on people who profess to be Tolkien fans and exhibit very little basic knowledge... but then, so do we all, no?

Cliques irritate me occasionally, but it all depends on what sort of clique. I guess the people I hang out with at school could be considered a clique, but it's not really that way. We're just more like a group of people who refuse to be grouped. -Menelien

Argh. I hate cliques, especially the youth group kind. *stabs youth group cliques* One of the main reasons I don't go to youth group is, well, that. quote] I feel sort of odd about cliques now. I want to be accepted and everything, but how far am I willing to go? Am I willing to ignore other people, just because the friends I hang out with don't like them? Like GOTO said, I think sometimes a clique can just be a group of people who like being together. When they start excluding other people is when cliques turn bad. I have a tendancy to look down on people who act like they know everything about Tolkien, when all they really know is some of what they saw in the movies. *sigh* On the youth group subject, I'm sort of confuzzeld. See, the church I used to go to had youth during the sunday night service. My parents never wanted me to go, because they said I should go to church, instead of the youth. I agreeed, and personally, I like the service. But now we are at a different church and they are encouraging me to go to youth on sunday nights, and not go to the service. Go figure........ Ah well, someday the confuzzelment will end....

Eh? You have church on Sunday night, instead of in the morning? We have church in the morning, and the youth group meets on Sunday evening... Another thing is I don't think I'd really want to spend the whole day in church... And we live far enough away that it's inconvenient to go there, come back, go there, come back, go there, come back. Excuses, excuses. I just don't want to go. But you say your parents first told you not to go, and now at this new church they want you to? Weird...

Yeah......... BLAH! Tonight I got invited to a party. A real party. I should be so happy, right? The girl who invited me is really nice. She and a few other people are the closest things to friends that I have in my youth group. But I know if I go, I'll be putting myself in situation where things would be going on I don't agree with. Part of me wants to go, because I really like this girl, and would NEVER do anything to hurt her, and saying that I won't go to her party might make her mad at me. She's been acting sort of ill lately, and I want to make her happy, really bad. But, then, I'm not sure even if I''ll be allowed to go. Sorry for rambling on about it.............................. Must ponder..........

Hmm... what sort of things would be going on that you don't want to... be around for/partake in? Because maybe if it's something that the peer pressure to do isn't *so* intense for, you'll be fine at the party...

Nothing really bad, I just am weird. Anyway, me and her are friends agains, so that's good. But, I'm losing the little boys who have been my brothers for the past four years. I always knew the day would come, when they wouldn't be with us anymore, but it's stil hard. They were six, three, and two years old when they came to us. No one would keep the six year old anymore, because he is special needs, and was very hard to handle and could become violent, screaming and throwing things like chairs. Their parents had another child, so we have had him since he was three months old. I know it is for the best, and every child deserves to grow up with their parents, but it's still sort of hard. They've been my brothers.

I'm more okay with them leaving now. We will have more chance to do stuff, like I can get a job. Whoo. They'll be fine. Next week is my last week with them. You can't live with someone for four years and not miss them, but I think it will be okay. I hope so.
Also, I went to flordia and got to go to Universal Studieos, Islands of Adventure. Spiderman and Jurassic Park were the best rides.
Now I'm sitting here. My sister hasn't gotten up yet, so I'm pretty much by myself. Feel like rambling, but will contain the urg.

Aww. That has to be hard to loose someone you've grown so close too.
I remember those rides. They were spiff. Although, that was like four years ago... I recently went to Universal Studios.. the first one.. whatever its called... And it was pretty nifty. The Shrek 2 ride was spiff.. well, not ride.. movie.. thing.. yeah..

Those were the best rides I had ever been on. Someday I want to go again. I kept closing my eyes during spiderman, though, and that sort of took away from the effect. Ah, well. I didn't get to go to Universal, just the islands of adventure. Only had one day.

I was somewhere Mip and Amarie were! That makes me insanely happy. School is starting this week. THat is so messed up. It's summer people. Summer=Vacation. I can't believe the school system here. I'm currently mad at them for their special-ed program. Autistic children need to be interacting with people! And he is very high funtioning and could interact. I'm scared he'll regress. He's come to far to do that. At age six he was non-verbal, and now he can talk and interact. They school system did a good job there. *sigh* Nothing I can do..... I realized that I have a real live uncle billy. hehe
