love it or hate it

sighhh...i'm in turmoil w/my best friend nika about her boyfriend, ryno - he's okay and all, but since she's been going out with him, he never even acknowledges my presence!! jeez. she kinda does the same thing...she ignores me (among other people) when he shows up. meg and i talked to her about it and it's getting better. i never get any sleep nowadays 'cause my cuz rix calls me @ 10:30 pm to talk about random nothingness. it's 7:30 his time (hawaii time), so it's free for him, but i get hecka tired (lauren's word). it's still fun though, even though we don't have as much to talk about - we talked nonstop for the week or so he was here...up 'til 4:30 am nightly. good times. my grades are improving, but my parents are so suspicious of me that they check every night what homework i have to do and they're constantly pestering me about "upcoming projects" and "upcoming tests". a B is insufficient and "not as good as i could be doing", so i pretty much have to get straight A's. sux. chat later. byez.
