The Push Back Project
Day 137
So things have been moving quite well for me lately in both the acting world and the anti bullying world. Lets begin with the bullying world. So my friend Taylor and I recently both decided to take the fight against bullying to a whole new level. We are both working together to start a non for profit organization called The Push Back Project. Today we met up and talked about specifics. We also contacted Q100 and asked them to join us. Then, we did something that I thought I wouldn't do for a while. We both went to Dunwoody High School, (my old school), and we talked to the principal there about getting them in on our program. Things went well because we are meeting him for an official meeting on the second of January.
In the acting world, the news is this... I will be meeting with a talent agency tomorrow at 1pm. YAY! Hopefully things go well with that. I am going to try and get a commercial or something tv related going soon. Anyways, I will update you guys tomorrow on what happens!

So sorry that it has been a month!!
Day 125
Hey guys! First off I wanted to apologize to my readers about me being gone for so long. I especially wanted to apologize to my friend "Ray" for not being there for him recently due to the fact that I have been so stressed out lately.
So here is what you have missed. I ran into a girl from my past that I realized recently I wasn't being as nice to her as I could have been because I was jealous of her. I went up to her right away and apologized and told her she didn't deserve it and it was horrible of me. Luckily she accepted my apology and we have been acting like it never happened now. We message each other on Facebook all the time now just to see how the other is doing. Apologizing to her was probably the best thing I have ever done.
In other news, on 11/11/11 I went home and saw that the cat that saved my life two years ago was in and out of the bathroom, but wasn't going to the bathroom. I also noticed that when he would sit on the ground, there would be blood on it. Immediately I called the vet to make sure that he was okay, and they asked me to bring him in ASAP. Once they got there, they told me it was a bladder infection and it wasn't that big of a deal. However, then came the bad news. The vet said to me, "Does he always breathe so heavy?" I told her, "Yeah, I asked the groomer about it once and she said that it was completely normal." She responded with, "Don't ever trust your groomer." She told me she wanted to get an X-ray of his chest to make sure everything was okay, so she did. That was when she came into the waiting room very quickly and talking quickly. She showed me the X-ray of a normal cat and of Simon. Simon's lungs were barely visible. They filled with fluid and were unable to expand.
She then told me she had to drain the fluid and said that the fluid might come back. I don't remember what she said after that, but it lead me to ask the question, "Will he die?" and she responded with, "I don't know." That was it. I broke down. Simon was my life. I loved Simon more than anything. I left him at the vets office for a couple of hours for his treatment while I went to my preoperative appointment for my breast augmentation. When I was there I got a phone call telling me that Simon was much better and they were able to get A LOT of fluid out of him. They told me he seemed to be happy wand was purring a lot. After my appointment I went to the vet's office to pick him up. I brought him to my house and practically never left his side. I told him how much I loved him and that I was so thankful that he was okay.
For a couple days I kept him on a certain diet, bought him a water fountain so he would drink more, and gave him his medication three times a day. This was when I noticed that Simon had been throwing up his medication around the house. I also noticed that his breathing pattern was bad again. I called the vet and asked them if this was normal. They then made another appointment for him and asked me to bring him in. They told me that his fluid was back and that they were thinking he might not make it. They said there a series of tests including ultrasounds and X-rays that they could do to see if it is something that has a cure or not that they could run. Knowing that I love my cat more than life itself, I said...RUN IT!
Once Simon was stable, I took him to the animal hospital and checked him in. For the next several days Simon stayed in the ICU and went through some tests. I wanted to save his life, no matter how much it would cost. I came every day during visiting hours and petted him. Sometimes I was only able to see him for a moment, but it was okay with me. After all the tests were run, I got another phone call telling me that all the tests came back inconclusive and that Simon's quality of life wouldn't be a great one. They said if I kept letting him live like this he would be suffering and that eventually he might not be able to breathe on his own. I knew then, that I had to put him to sleep.
Putting Simon to sleep was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Spencer was with me the whole time, even he was on the verge of tears. I was there during the procedure. I watched them do the whole thing. He was there, and then he wasn't. After he was gone all I wanted to do was hold him. I let them take him away from me after a few minutes. They told me I could spend as much time with him as I wanted, but I knew I didn't want to end up sitting with him alone. I was already hyperventilating when the doctor was in the room, the last thing I needed was to have a complete melt down while being alone.
Simon died on 11/17/2011 ... exactly two years after he saved my life. I miss him every single day.
The next day I went in for my surgery. I was in a lot of pain for a while, and I was pretty drugged up for a while. I also spent a lot of my time mourning over Simon's death. I brought Bella, Simon's sister, to meet the rest of Spencer's pets, this way she will never have to be alone. She seems to be doing well now.
These days I have been working every moment of every day trying to finish my school projects, essays, and studying for finals. I haven't had much time to settle down. I still cry about Simon. I have NEVER felt so much love for anything.
The photo that I have put on this entry is the photo in which I intend on using in a picture box where I will hold Simon's ashes. It is the first picture that I have ever taken of Simon. This is my favorite picture because it portrays Simon in such an amazing way. He was always so curious of his surroundings. He was never shy, he just wanted love.
RIP Simon, my baby boy.

Repressed Memory
Day 93
This is the weirdest thing. My boyfriend and I were talking about bullying and cyber bullying when all of a sudden I remembered being cyber bullied. I remembered that in middle school there were these two girls that for some weird reason began to hate me. If I remember correctly it was because her boyfriend was interested in being my friend and she was worried it was more than friendship. Anyways, one day they made a fake AIM account and used it to say really hurtful things to me. They called me fat and ugly.
It is so weird that I have forgotten so many things from my past. I believe that when I write my blog, old feelings come back, as well as the old memories.
In other news...I have some bad news. I was not able to get my footage done in time for MTV's Bullied. I am so bummed because I thought it was a great thing that they were doing, but with school and work, I just wasn't able to do enough for it. The video that I posted recently was given to them, but nothing else. I kind of doubt that they will use my footage because there wasn't enough of it. I am however still waiting to hear from MTV's Cut. I should be hearing from them this week. YAY!!

Excitement
Still Day 81
I just wanted to take a quick moment out of my day to mention how excited I am. After seeing the interview on CBS news I just feel empowered and proud to be who I am. As I mentioned in the interview I have no idea who I am and I am struggling very hard to find that out. However, after this all began I can't stop thinking that this is what I am supposed to be doing with my life. I am on a mission, and I will not stop until I make a difference in the world. :) Everyone, just remember, I can't do it alone. I need your help! Please help me spread the word about this blog and my mission. It is because of all of you that things are happening.
Oh almost forgot to mention this...I will be sending in my footage to MTV's Bullied this coming week. I spoke to them recently, and it seems like something I really want to do. If you can't remember MTV bullied is a documentary that they are doing that shows that bullying takes place all over the world. I will know in about a month if I get selected to be a part of it! :)
