Next time someone tells me I'm "too childish", I'm just going to look them
directly in the eyes and say very calmly, "You are what you eat." Then I'm going to walk away slowly maintaining eye contact the entire time.

Well......
I was adopted.
Here's the story:
I was born when my mom was 16 and my dad was 18.  They didn't want to keep me because my mom was too young and my dad was going to college.
Now they're married.  They live, actually, around 40 minutes away from my house.  I have a little brother, Aaron, who is 4 years old.  My dad is a doctor and my mom is a stay at home mom.  I was named after my dad, hence "Charles Junior."
My mom and dad said that my 15 year old sister and I were adopted because my parents were unable to have kids.  But then a year after getting my sister they were able to have kids, so had two of their own.  They told me my sister was adopted because I was 3 at the time and knew that she was, but for whatever reason hid from me that I was adopted.
Because I'm 18, my biological parents can't just take me back and claim me as theirs because I can make up my own mind.
But I don't know what I'm going to do.
I don't hate my biological parents because they didn't give me up out of carelessness, but because they had good reasoning of why I would be raised poorly if they had raised me.  But I hardly know them and I might screw up their lives they have now.
But I don't want to leave my adopted family because I grew up with them and know them so well and love them.
But either way, next year is my senior year in high school and then I'm going to college, so whatever I do, I'm not really "living" with anyone for the next four years. And then I'm going to move out and get an apartment with my friends.
So I guess I'll just stay...

Today I was spending my freeblock with my friend Max.
He asked to listen to the music on my ipod and I can listen to his.
So I did.
He was going through and said "What is this music?"
I said "it's punk rock."
He said "It's sounds emo. Are you emo, Charlie?" and laughed.
I said "Man, punk is good music."
He kept laughing. "Do you wear eyeliner and cry yourself to sleep? Do you cut yourself?"
All I said was "Why would you assume that from the music I listen to?"
He said "pull up your sleeve or I'll call you a cutter."
So I pulled up my right sleeve and he said "Nope.  Left one too. Are you hiding something, Charlie?"
He was clearly joking around but then quickly pulled up my left sleeve and you could still see my scars from when I cut.
Clearly.
Then it got awkward.
So I just took my ipod back and went to the weight room.
Why did this happen again?

Welllll I got some pretty shocking news today.
I was at the mall with my family and I got bored so I said I was going on a walk through the city.
My parents told me to be back in an hour so I said I would be.
As I was walking down the street, this lady looked stunned and came up to me.  She probably looked twice my age or something like that.
I asked if she needed help.
She was speechless and just went into her purse with a face like she just saw a ghost.
She took her wallet out and pulled out a picture.
She put it up to my face and said "This is my husband when he was 18 years old.
I moved the picture so that I could see it and I realized that it looked like a 90's version of me.
I didn't really know what to say and just looked at her really confused.
"Junior?" she asked me.
"What?" I had no idea what she was talking about.
"Junior? Charles Junior??"
That part freaked me out. How did she know my name was Charlie? Well I don't know where the junior part came from but Charles?
"I'm so sorry," she said.  Suddenly she just started crying into my chest.
After a few minutes, my phone rang and it was my mom.  So I answered and she asked me to come back to the mall and I said "Okay, Mom,"
Before I hung up the woman took my phone and said "Erin? It's me.  It's Catherine! I never thought I would find you guys again." and she started to cry but laugh at the same time.
My mom came and picked me and the woman, Catherine, up from the nearby gas station and took us home.
Now my mom and dad took Catherine to a restaraunt and told me to stay home with my siblings.

What just happened?

Bing is definitely a man. Let's think about it, Bing tries to think it's superior
and does a horrible job with pleasing it's user.
