Well. So much for keeping up with this thing. Its been over a year since I have written anything. As I suspected since last time I paid attention to this 'dairy' (ugh, I hate calling it that. It sounds so cliche) nothing changed with my father and I or the family. So, as promised I left and went to live with Laelia and her parents. That did not go over so well. My father and I got in a huge fight before I left. Sigh. But, oh well. I'm here now. And I'm much happier. Laelia really is my best friend. She's always been there for me, and her family has to be the nicest people I've ever met. They've been nothing but kind to me, and treat me as though I was a second daughter to them. I love them a lot.

Things are starting to look up. I'm getting better at the bow. Laelia is as usual, inventing all sorts of new things and taking them apart. Constantly has her nose in a book. She is SO shy though...I am trying to help her with that, to make her feel more comfortable. She blushes when anyone talks to her and she has a hard time around people.

Well. I must go for now. I'm not going to make any promises to write anytime soon, since I seem to fail at following through with that.
