Orphan Tips for Father's Day

Its getting closer. I am starting to see advertisements for Father's Day gifts and stuff. don't let it get to you. The new Toy Story Movie comes out that weekend. Thinking about Father's Day just makes it worse. Here's some tips for you guys to make Father's Day easier for you

1. Keep yourself busy. Busy but not stressed. Don't sit and think about how sad you are. Watch a movie, read a book, hang with friends, clean the house. Stay busy. Treat it like any other day.

2. Stay in. I prefer to stay in on Mother's Day and Father's Day. I don't want to see other people with their parents and I also may be kinda grumpy and I don't want anyone giving me an attitude when I know they have parents. So I stay in. But some people may get lonely so you may want to go out and see a movie or something. But plan this a head of time.



3. Treat yourself. Lately I have been indulging in the Kandi Kid life. Its people who wear shirts with cartoons on them and believe in PLURR (Peace, love, unity, respect and responisbility) I love it. It all makes me feel like a kid again. There is much more to the Kandi kid culture and you can do the research on your own. But my point is to be like a kid again. No one really glows up. Lots of men still play video games. Lots of adult still live with their parents. As orphans we are forced to grow up fast and work hard. Be a kid once in a while. Make Father's Day an easy day. Rent a movie, order pizza, play your favorite cd, take a bath, try a new video game, sleep in. Its just one day.

4. Stock up on the essentials. I plan on staying in so I make sure to have money so I can order a pizza, extra food, medicine in case I get sick, etc. I got sick last Mother's Day and I wished I had some orange juice to help me. Stock up on healthy foods. Green tea helps your immune system. And if you do start to cry, remember to drink water. Replace those tears. Or you will get dehydrated and get sick.

5. If you cry, drink water. I gotta say it again. If you cry, drink water. Or you will get sick. If you cry, eat healthy, Drink some green tea, some veggies, orange juice. Not too much orange juice. Some milk.

6. Try getting some multi-vitamins. Its kinda like when you have a headache you take some asprin. Well if you are sad or feel sick take a vitamin. Or better yet take a vitamin each day so stay healthy.

7. Have a friend you can call. Have some friends you can chat with on Twitter.com or Myspace.com or facebook.com or youtube.com whatever. Talking and chatting with friends will cheer you up.

8. Plan. Make plans. Don't just assume that it will be a breeze and that you will just stay in. Make plans and make backup plans. I plan on sleeping in, checking my email, watching some cartoons, eatting breakfast, listening to some music, playing with the dog, maybe text a friend, and then do it all over again. I may also finish some art.

You get the idea right? Don't assume it will be easy. Just make it a fun day. Why should it be a bad day for you? Stay positive.

Father's Day Preparation for an Orphan

Well I have started to see ads for Father's Day. Its a few weeks away. I will not be putting up the chat this time. But again I am telling you that we need to prepare.

Things to do to prepare for Father's Day:
-plan to hang out with a friend
-try to hang out with a friend
-find a friend to hang out with on FD
-stock up on food for that weekend
-rent a movie to watch on FD
-treat yourself on that day
-sleep in on FD
-stock up on Green Tea. It will keep you from getting sick.

I know I don't want to have to leave my house on Father's Day. I want to stay in. So I will have to stock up on food.

-maybe get a book to read for the day
-listen to a new cd on that day
this may mot be a good idea since that cd will remind you of that day)

I will post more. I plan on trying to find a friend to hang out with...if that doesn't work out I will try to relax and spoil myself. Last Mother's Day was terrible.

What an orphan should do on Memorial Day

Hey, Just thought I would give a quick update. I guess this post would only be for US orphans. But I want to treat this weekend kinda like Mother's Day weekend. I got some hot dogs to fry up and some candy to spoil myself on. Its a three day weekend and I am relax and I feel like a kid. I got some beads so I can make some necklaces if I get bored. I still had sad dreams of mom last night though. But this weekend shouldn't be too sad for an orphan. Most families just have a cook out and play music, swim in a pool and watch tv. We can do that at home. And pools are gross. People pee in them. A bath is much better.

So heres what to do on Memorial Day if you are lonely:
-fry some hot dogs. You should have gotten some a head of time.
-play some music.
-take a bath.
-watch some tv or youtube
-make some necklaces
-sit out on the porch
-hang with friends
-try drinking green tea or fruit tea all weekend. Its fun to try something new and it will help pass the time.
-Walk around the house in your underwear.
-Just be a kid and relax
-be glad you don't have to hang out with a family that complains about the way you look or your lifestyle etc.
-stay positive!

Remember Memorial Day is to celebrate the soldiers who have and are fighting for our country. They can't even come home to be with their families. We are like soldiers trying to fight off our everyday grief.

Try watching the sunrise too!

Orphan Advice: Never Grow Up!

When our parents died we were forced to become adults even if we were just little kids. But if you look around at all the other adults who still have parents, you will notice they are kinda spoiled. They never had to grow up. They are still little kids. Why should we grow up?

We are forced into survival mentality. We see the harsh reality of life. We need to take a chill pill and be a kid again.

I have been looking back on how I have been trying to adjust since my mom died when I was 15. I was a happy kid before she died. Then after she died I tried to be happy, tried to fit in with the new family. But they always had unrealistic rules. Treated me differently than their own kids. College was good since everything was taken care of and I had no rules...just like a kid.

So I am going to try to be more free like a kid for the next year before my move to NY. The whole heiress thingy is kinda like that. Being your own boss. Spoiling yourself. Being confident of yourself. Orphans are in survival mode. Sad and stressed out. But an heir or heiress stays spoiled and happy.

Here are some things that I plan to do and/or suggest you do:

1. East fast food once a month. Atleast. McDonalds makes me feel like a kid again. And they brought back the Happy Meal box. YAY

2. Walk around the house in your underware. I used to do this as a kid. At least wear those fluffy slippers.

3. Sleep in on your days off and watch some cartoons. Why not?

4. Visit the mall. My mom always used to take me to the mall. They got fast food. So maybe you can get McDonalds at the mall and its double the spoiled-ness.

5. Try eatting some kids cereal. They don't have prizes in them anymore but the Happy meals do.

6. Watch a movie. We always watched movies as kids. Why stop?

7. Dress like a kid. My room was always pink. So I will wear pink. I always wanted a Barbie when I was little so I got a Barbie shirt.

8. You only live once. Enjoy yourself. But remember to not over spend or over eat.

CAPEESH!

There is not point in waking up in the middle of the night everynight regreting your teen years, or childhood etc. I wish my sister would have taken me to the fair...well I will round up some of my friends and go to the fair. I wasn't allow to go to prom. Why not round up some friends and dress up and have a night out on the town?

One final problem...how to get friends. Myspace? Facebook? Church? Old high school friends. Or just go solo. But be careful about going to the fair alone at night. Better go during the day time if you are alone. Be safe.

Health Tips for Orphans Part 2: Tonsil Stones

Mother's Day really took a toll on me and my tonsils swelled up and I got a few small tonsil stones. They are gross. They make your breath smell like rotten eggs and you can taste it in your mouth too. Its white blood cells fighting an infection.

1. Don't eat too much food that contains calcium. Too much calcium can cause kidney stones and tonsil stones. And tonsil stones are nasty.

2. If you do get tonsil stones. Cut back on the calcium intake. I have found that mine was too high. (On Mother's Day I ordered two medium pizzas..big mistake)

3. Drink orange juice. This builds up your immune system and also reduces those tonsil stones.

4. A soda every now and then is good. A soda can help break down tonsil stones.

5. Drink lots of water. Again it helps reduce tonsil stones.

6. Keep your mouth clean. Floss, brush with toothpaste and rinse with a good strong mouthwash. You spit out the mouthwash...don't swallow it.

7. Eat veggies and fruits. No one gets brocolli stuck in their tonsils.

I hope this helps. Stay healthy. And guess what? Its my Birthday.
