Hullo, Hullo!  This is Sagie McDermott writing!  Thought you'd like to know how I'm doing.

I'm doing.  That's about all I can say.  Some days are (pretty) good; others, not-so-hot-so.  Still fighting with Uncle Fenton and Aunt Reba; I've since learned to tune them out, especially when they go on their stupid religious kick.  I think they're beginning to realize I'm just not interested.

I stay out of their hair; they stay out of mine.  I feel this is the best arrangement; that way peace can reign around the house.  Peace for me is a rare commodity.

Still hearing from Kierra; still have to answer her.  She must think I dropped off the planet or died.  Well, screw her; she's a goody-two-shoes, another one of those religious fanatics.  I hate them; they drive me bat crazy!!!!

I never did got to Razor Gonzales' Hallowe'en bash.  Because of my stupid actions, I didn't get to go.  Got busted stealing some eye shadow from Wal*Mart; have since been un-grounded, but I am still on probation, I think. 

Aunt Reba and Uncle Fenton won't let me go anywhere without asking their permission first, and they know I have been invited to a Hallowe'en bash tomorrow night, at Rica's house.  Rica's my other best friend; she's a cousin to Razor.  She's known for giving the best parties:  music will be throbbing, the beer/alcohol will be flowin', and who knows what else??

I won't get into the drinkin' aspect of it, but anything sounds better than sittin' round the house, collectin' dust (or spiders, whichever comes first!).

Tomorrow I turn seventeen years old.  Yeah, it's my birthday.  Don't plan on doing anything special unless I can talk my aunt and uncle into letting me go to Rica's house. 

I won't tell her about the booze; I'll leave that part out.  Maybe they'll be nice, let me go.  I would love it!!!!

Uncle Fenton has tried to invite me to go with them to their church for their Harvest Festival.  How lame can you get??  It's Hallowe'en; time for ghosties, witches, goblins, and monsters, NOT celebrating harvests!!  I mean, how stupid can one possibly get????  I told them, hell no; I won't go!

'Course they got mad, but then, that's nothin' new....

Gotta think of a way to let them to let me go to Rica's house tomorrow night.  I'll see what I can come up with.  Wish me luck!!

Well, study hall is fixin' to end, so I'll vamanos for now.  I will write in here again soon; take care and be good!  Don't let the ghosties bite!!  BOOO!  Happy Hallowe'en (or in my case, Happy Birthday)!!!!

~Love, your (Witchy) friend, Sagie. :D
