My dad was a drug addict all my life, and drank a lot as well. I used to hold so much anger toward him, and I hated him. Now I live with my mom, they are divorced, and he’s in treatment. My brother, mom, and I go to therapy and Alateen/Al-Anon. I don’t hate him anymore, and I’ve started to accept that he had a disease, but I’m not sure if I’ve forgiven him 100%. I want to forgive him, and maybe someday have a good relationship with my dad.

How I did it: About a month ago, I found out Cobra Starship was playing in my state, about three hours away from me. And tickets were only $20. I've liked them since summer 06, and they've been my favorite band since fall 07. So needless to say, I was pretty dang excited.Me and my friend went to the concert. It was AMAZING. Pretty much everything you could hope for & more. Even the opening bands were awesome. It was super hot, and super crowded, an… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I went to the Charlotte, NC date of their Hot Mess Across the US tour on August 23rd. :) The show was amazing! And it's not that hard to meet the band after the show, as long as you're willing to stay for awhile after. I stayed about an hour afterward. Me and my friend were lucky enough to meet the whole band. It was a small venue, so them and the opening acts were just kind of hanging out. I met Danny Stevens from the Audition and the ba… Read how I did it…
I was born and raised in Tooele. I lived there until I was twelve years old. I was raised in the Mormon church, but my family was not the typical Mormon family. So I think for this, we were sort of alienated in going to church. I didn’t like how if you weren’t the perfect little Mormon, you were shunned.
I also hated the weather, how the people there were so fake and it had NO diversity, and the fact that there was nothing to do. Among many other things. In general, I hated Utah.
I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to leave. My family moved to North Carolina in June 2007. It was the ultimate culture shock at first, but I’m glad I did it. It was refreshing to know that I wouldn’t be stuck in Utah until I died.
However, there are some things I miss about that place, and I am probably going back for a visit sometime next year. =]
1. hot chocolate
2. christmas lights
3. kind people
4. warm quilts
5. not being out on the streets
