Wow, I haven't updated in a couple of days. I'm sorry about that. I have just been occupied with school and stuff.

So, I saw Jason the other day for the first time since Friday- the football day. It wasn't great. We got into a fight and decided to have a break. It hurt, but the relationship wasn't all that. I don't know how I feel really. Yeah, I was the one who brought up the break first, but now ... I don't know, I'm just confused. I don't want to go back to school, because I have some classes with him, and I don't think I can handle seeing him right about now...

I'm...going for a walk...I have my cell if anyone cares.

As predicited, I have got a pile of homework from being away for five days, so my weekend has already been busy!

I am now helping out with the play - behind the scenes. Apparently Matt, who usually does lighting needs help, so I offered. It should be interesting.

Other than that, I am no longer on crutches!!! Yeah! I just have to go through some therapy now.

So, Sharpay - we can go shopping - perhaps we can try to persue my mother to let me out for a couple of hours... or we would have to wait until I am finished being ungrounded...whenever that maybe.

Yeah, so I have been gone for about 5 days ... did anyone notice? I went to Chicago to stay with my dad ... I just ... needed to get away I guess. Aaand I didn’t tell anyone, which I should have, because my mom flipped when my dad made me call her to tell her where I was. So, now I am grounded. God knows how long for.

Have I missed anything? I’m gonna have to see how much homework I’ve missed. It’s only been 5 days, but I bet I’ve got a pile waiting for me. Terrific. I don’t want to go back to school. Alright, I have to go, I’ll be ... around the house ...

I don’t know what to do with mine and Jason’s relationship. It hasn’t even been a relationship, to be honest. We haven’t talked since Friday night … maybe his been busy with those cheerleaders. I don’t know what to do, I don’t even know if I want to talk to him ...

Okay, so my bro left this morning. He only took his laptop. NOT the broadband box, so I am still able to hop on the net.

But I was wondering, if it is still okay for Izzy to suddenly fly to Chicago without telling anyone? It might be just for a couple of days.

Heya. Just letting you guys know my brother is leaving for his holiday TOMORROW (Saturday) and he told me that he will be gone for little less than a week. So no net connection for me during that time.

Great thing is I can get to watch FOXTEL (Pay tv)! Great timing as the US Open starts and I get to watch some matches. PLUS they are showing Prison Break season one, so I get to watch that too! Whooo! (I'm on a terrible PB withdrawal, lol). Season two won't start here for ages.

Jason has invited me to his football match on Friday night. I invited Sharpay, and Zeke is coming along too. I probably won't see Jason until after the game. My first East High football match ... I dont know how I feel ...

Well my life has just been filled with boring school and homework. Nothing too thrilling I'm afraid, so I won't bore you anymore.

OOC

Hey guys. I'm just letting you know that my bro is going away for a holiday sometime soon and my mum said this morning that he MAY be going tomorrow (Thursday) if his car is ready. He will be gone for about a week and so will my internet connection. I thought I might give you a heads up. If he doesn't go tomorrow, I will be able to come on and edit this.

If he does go tomorrow, I can see if I can quickly jump on my sister's computer next week sometime and have Izzy update. I already have an idea for her "disappearance". (She may suddenly go off to Chicago without telling anyone and she'll update on where she is).

So, if my bro doesn't go tomorrow, I'll come on after I get home from work. If he does, I'll have Izzy update mid or end of next week sometime.

First week of school is over! I am so relieved. It’s been okay I guess. I haven’t seen much of Jason… just when we’re in class and even that is not really much, because you know of that “no talking” rule. But whatever. I’m glad the weekend is finally here.

I wanted some sun, so I went over to Niki’s to see how she was doing. She was still playing basketball, had some ice cream, hey, I had a craving and nothing else better to do. We talked after that.

My dad is moving to Chicago PERMINATELY. Apparently going back and fourth has finally hit him hard and he’s tired of it. Thankfully my mom isn’t interested in moving. She has grown up here and doesn’t see the point of moving. I over heard them talking and another reason my mom doesn’t want to leave as well because that means I would have to go too and she doesn’t want to take me out of school in my senior year. I think my dad is okay with that. I think. My dad leaves tomorrow.

The first day back at school... should have been better. I never liked crowded halls, now I hate them with passion. Ever try walking down one with crutches? MEH and the desks need to be bigger too. I had fun trying to get comfortable in the first period, I sat in the back row, though I still received weird looks. I am on crutches, for the first time, get over yourselves.

I was happy when second period came, Jason was in the same class.

Homework. ALREADY! I don't know what I was on when I said I was ready to come back last week. I want it to be over now.

I am not crazy anymore. I don’t want to go back to school. I don’t want Summer to end and I don’t want to go around the school on crutches. Yeah, I’m on crutches. How? I went to dance class yesterday and dislocated my left knee. There was a loud crack when it happened and it hurt like hell! My mom had to leave work early to take me to the hospital and we were there for the rest of the day. It doesn’t look great. They say I’m going to be on crutches for about 2-3 months. Then I’d have to go through therapy. This is so not what I needed. I planned this year to concentrate on my dancing to get into college. Now I’ve lost like half the year already. I am home, doing nothing. In need of entertainment.

OOC: Mo said it was ok for Izzy to dislocate her knee. The same thing happened to me back in 1997 and it hurt like hell! So I know what poor Izzy is going through.

By the sounds of it, I must be the only one who is looking forward going back to school. It’ll give us, well, me anyway, something to do. Last night my cousin downloaded Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, so we all watched that. It was pretty good, I liked it. Other than that, just seeing Jason, which I don’t mind at all. My heel has been sore for the past couple of days. This morning I woke up to see a bruise there …

Nothing exciting has happened in my life. Not since the date with Jason anyway. I was at the salon today, mom sort of dragged me there to get me out of the house. About an hour later Gabe (he was the one who let me and Jason into the rink) showed up. I don’t really know why he was there, so we talked for awhile.

My mom’s not too pleased with me. I quit my job at 1,2,3 Step. I guess I was getting bored with it, so that is why she is making me going to the salon. She knows I don’t leave the house unless I need too - or if it is to see Jason. I am pretty glad Ms Cross is okay with me now.

Yep, so that’s all the news from me. Interesting, huh?

I've just come back from my first date with Jason! It was great! We went to see Rent - at first I was a little wary, because I loved the Chicago cast so much, but this cast were just as good! Heehee, I am sure Jason got into it too. He liked the music. The only thing I hate about going to see a musical, play, etc, is the crowd afterwards, trying to get out before the traffic. It's insane! People pushing and shoving. Damn they never learn! Jason accidently hit his bad shoulder on this shelf, I started worrying about it- what if it was bad? Anyway, he eventually reassured me it was fine and we finally found his car again.

Then it was off to the rink. I met one of his old buddies from when he used to play hockey- Gabe, he's pretty cool, he let us use the rink - just us. Jase taught me some hockey and other stuff happened.

Overall it was one of the greatest nights I've ever had. I don't think I'll forget it anytime soon. Thank you, Jason, I had a wonderful time!

And yeah-- I was really nervous I even changed twice before my dad stopped me-- luckily Jason arrived before I could change for the third time!

So, right now, I am too hyper to go to sleep. I've been singing the Rent songs and playing the soundtrack!

Jase and I are fine and I am really happy about that. While I was at his place I realised we haven’t been on a date. Yeah, we’ve been together for a month but we haven’t done that whole “first date” thing. I guess with what’s been happening, like the parents, we had other things to worry about. So after some talk we have decided on seeing Rent, the play, then afterwards he is going to teach me how to play Ice Hockey. I’ve watched the sport a couple of times on TV, but I have no idea what’s going on. I know that there are A LOT of fights. Should I be scared? Anyway, it should be fun.

And I swear, Jason, that if you are planning on doing something against me, I WILL sing the songs from Rent. ALL OF THEM!

Oh does anyone want to meet up and do something? My dad's repainting the shed and the paint smell is coming into my bedroom, giving me a headache. I need to get out. If not, I'll be out til my dad rings me saying the smell has gone. So I'll have my cell.

Okay, so I figured I should update this thing to tell you guys I'm still alive. I just haven't been out. I've just been hanging out at home and seeing my cousins. Haven't really been in much of a socalising mood. I'll try to break that soon. The blisters on my toes are slowly getting better. I haven't danced at all, I haven't even been going to dance classes, I just haven't really been in the mood. My teachers going to kill me when I get back, this I know.

I watched the first Pirates of the Carribbean last night, I REALLY want to see Dead Man's Chest now!

I missed my dance class yesterday because my mom refused to let me go. I told her I had to go because I stuffed up last week and my teacher, Jolene, wanted me to be perfect. But mom didn’t like that idea so she said she’ll send a note saying I went to the doctors or whatever. Since she found out about the blisters, my mom has made sure I dance less. Which kills me sometimes. So I haven’t really danced in like 4 days! That’s a record for me. I guess it’s doing my blisters sort of well, they don’t hurt as much as they did. My toes are still red though.

I’ve been watching my parents M*A*S*H DVD’s. They have up to season three. I’ve been in my room, at the moment, I don’t plan to leave. I’d rather eat ice cream and laugh along with Trapper and Hawkeye …

::Private::

I was talking to Kelsi and she admitted that she still loves Jason. I was expecting this to come up soon, but I was not prepared for it at all. I didn’t know what to say. I have suspicions that Jason still has feelings for Kelsi. Now I know Kelsi still loves Jason? I was talking to Sharpay about it, because I had to talk to someone and Sharpay was there and made up my mind that I’ll ask Jason about it when he’s himself again. But now I am not so sure I want to do that. Because what if he does? I don’t think I could handle that. I love Jason and am scared for the truth, but it’s something I got to know. Or maybe I don’t have to know … *sighs*

Yesterday was my dad's birthday, so last night we had a family get together dinner, including my aunties, uncles and cousins. I don't have a big family, I only have 3 older cousins, who are all boys. It was really good, we haven't seen them for awhile so it was time for catch up. Daniel, my oldest cousin, kept on asking questions about Jason, he just wanted to know what he was like, I don't think it was much of a big deal.

I went to see Jason. He's... I don't know, not really with it. I wasn't sure what to do, because honestly, I've never known anyone to have surgery, so I am pretty much clueless. I stayed with him for a bit until he eventually went to sleep. I wonder how he is going to be like this for?

My mom caught me changing the bandages around my toes, so she now knows about the blisters. She is now on my back saying that I should slow down. I went to see Kelsi yesterday and we hanged out, we watched a movie called "Catch That Kid", it wasn't too bad. I have to admit it wasn't my type of movie.

I called Jesse last night and we talked for hours. Afterwards I realised I had missed that.

*Private part of post, visible to no-one*

He still likes her. I can tell. He wouldn’t go ruin some guys car for nothing. No not because that guy happened to be from the West, but because he’s now dating his ex. I should have seen this coming … maybe I knew all along. He still likes her.

Jason's surgery was a success. He's just been resting.

Friday I went shopping with Sharpay. It was fun. Brought a couple of things including an England soccer jersey and a little something for Jason. My feet were killing me at the end of the day, I don't think work or playing DDR helped. The blisters aren't going away. My mom nearly caught me while I was changing the bandages, but I managed to hide them. I don't want anyone else to know about them. I haven't been able to practice the routine for dance class Wednesday. I stuff up whenever I try because I can't balance on my toes. So if I don't get this right, I am going to be dead.

I am just letting you guys know that I’m at the hospital. Jason and I arrived about six and been here for an (long) hour. I think I might stay here until he wakes up after his surgery. Surgery’s usually go well ... right? I’ve never known anyone to have surgery so I have no idea ... he’ll be okay... won’t he? I’m not leaving even if I have to be here all day, I want to be here when he wakes up. If anyone wants to visit feel free, if they want to leave a message for Jase, I can tell him when he wakes up.

I’ll let you all know how it goes.

Izzy.
