Go visit the new blog, with WordPress.org! :-).

I will miss Blogger very much, thank you for the great years we had together.

...or Tumblr?

If you read my bottom post, I was thinking about switching to WordPress.org.

Now I'm thinking about Tumblr, though. What do you think ---- WordPress.org or Tumblr?

I personally am leaning forward to using WordPress.org instead, since it is just overall amazing.

Thanks,

Red.

WordPress.org Possible Switch?

Hey everyone.

I'm thinking about switching to WordPress.org on my Bluehost account.

What do you think? Think WordPress.org would be better? I personally prefer it over Blogger, seeing how smooth it is and all.

I'm definitely not going to use WordPress.com --- .org is so much better than .com, really.

So.... opinions, please? You can also contact my Twitter: @RedCP.

Thanks,

Red.

Hey.

Hey everyone, sorry for the inactivity.

I just managed to get back on my laptop for a little bit (read my posts titled "Oak Tree" for more information). I'm thinking about switching to WordPress.org on a web-host instead of using Blogger, but I'm not quite sure yet.

I don't have much information. We're at my grandparent's house right now (mom's side). School begins August 6, 2012, which sucks because we're not moving back into our house until late August or early September. It would be too hard to move again, just for three weeks.

I do have to partially blame the school system --- I mean, that's way too early, and they expect to end school in early May-ish. That's just frustrating.

Anyway, more information later. Thanks everyone!

Oak Tree

Lol, that last post was so not good. So let me tell you about the oak tree story in a better format. *

(If you're in a lazy mood, then long story short: An oak tree limb fell directly on my house from 40 feet above on May 30, 2011, aka Memorial Day of 2011.)

So, here goes nothing. *Also, I'll edit this post a little later, to add more details.

Around May 30, 2011, aka Memorial Day of 2011, an oak tree fell on my old 93 year old "deadly" home. The reason my house wasn't completely crushed and we're all still alive (spoiler alert! xD) is because our house's material was "oak", which they no longer use. It is very strong and I hear it's rare. So, it was 4AM, and I had stayed up two nights in a row. I really wanted to stay up again, but I literally fell over onto my bed and just dozed off. So, my mom was walking to the back of our house to view the quiet night. It was extremely calm, literally no breeze or wind, and the temperature was just right. From my mom's perspective, the ground started shaking, like an earthquake. She could hear mysterious cracking sounds. Then, the windows literally burst in, like some sonic boom had occurred. It suddenly became dusty, and the power went off. Lastly, there was a loud "BOOM!" like a nuclear explosion. I bet it woke up the whole county (except..... well, I'll go on). My dad immediately woke up, hearing my mom crying "The oak tree fell! The oak tree fell!" . I woke up to my mom's screaming, since I was soooo tired. LOL. I'm still embarrassed about that from today. All the dogs were put in my bedroom, and I had no idea what was going on. I couldn't breathe -- literally. I felt like I was going to pass out once again, until my dad saved me and the dogs, and rushed us onto our porch. I soon learned that the oak tree fell. I could hear sirens, from police cars and engineers. Also, some CBS reporters came, but at the wrong time. My grandparents from my mom's side, which live relatively close to us, and aunt, stopped by. My grandfather got so enraged at the poor CBS reporters that he just.... shooed them off. Darn it, I could have been on TV. Not that I really wanted to, in my pajamas. However, we learned from the police that the oak tree was not what fell, but a limb. They measured it, and were shocked to say that our oak tree was 10x the average size of what it should be. The three limbs were the actual average size of an oak tree, so we just say an oak tree fell on our house. It also fell on our left neighbor's house, but it didn't really affect them at all.

Anyway, we've moved so many times.... let me tell you all the times I've moved in my life.

• From the "Old House" to the "Bird House" (that's what I called our new home, thanks to a terrifying parrot). I was age 3 (parrots don't scare me any more.)
• Here comes the oak tree part. From the Bird House to the our grandparent's house. It's actually very nice, and they have tons of acres in their neighborhood. DID YOU KNOW: one of the members of Lynyrd Skynyrd is their neighbors!
• From their house to the Georgian Terrace, celebrating their 100th anniversary. 9th floor, the highest floor from the original Georgian Terrace.
• Around December/January, an asbestos leak from the roof leaked right outside our hotel room. Asbestos is deadly, and was used in our home (as well as lead paint). The general manager and other workers came. My mom was shouting at him to let us go, but the general manager threatened us and would not let us leave. He wouldn't even let me leave the room, either. We're lucky not to be dead. Eventually, my grandparents came to pick me up. The G.M. got scared at the sight of my grandfather (who was a soon-to-be admiral in the navy) so he let me leave. My mom started refusing to leave, but we're all okay. I moved to my grandparent's house for just a day or two.
• Moved to another room in the Georgian Terrace, which was just toxic. It was hard to breathe in, and just.... just no. I think the G.M. did this intentionally. We only moved to another room while we looked for a place to stay.
• Moved to Bryson Square, an amazing, luxurious apartment complex. It was such a great place.
• On June 29, we moved to our grandparent's house.

We're due to move in by mid-late August. I'm pretty mad about that, because school begins for me on August 8, and we can't move from our grandparent's house. They're probably two hours away from where my school is, and I can't change now.

Oh, let me tell you a scary part. So, yeah, I wanted to stay up again. Sadly, though, I fell asleep. So, I had a bean bag where I would hang out, reading, playing on my computer, watching TV with my mom, loved it. If it wasn't for my sleepiness, which I wasn't so sleepy until then oddly enough, I would have died - guaranteed. A huge chunk of roof fell on my beanbag. The worst part is, it flipped on it's other side, where it was covered with nails pointing down. These nails were holding the roof to the.... "other roof". It would have been an X-rated (for violence) movie scene. My mom is always chanting how God spared our lives. I am always praying and thanking for that.

So yeah, it's been very hard, and it's not getting any better, especially with this heat wave. :\

So, there's a more detailed post.
