Explanations (Sort Of)

Hey, guys. I know that I haven't updated in FOREVER, but I can kind of explain some of it.
Besides being incredibly busy, I also got grounded about three or four weeks ago. My dad found out that I was using my real name online, and he was furious (as were my mom and my aunt, my dad's sister) at my lack of caution. I don't regret how they found out, though. Some major stuff happened to Chelle and Alex (and it looks like weird stuff is still happening, but check their blog for more details. I've probably linked it somewhere around here...), and Chelle called my house asking where I live and if she could come over for a while. So, I had to ask my parents and/or my aunt if Chelle would be allowed over, and my dad was the nearest one at the time. Basically, his answer was, "You did WHAT? Chelle's more than welcome to come over--we'll never kick out someone who needs/wants a place to stay, especially because we've known Chelle for years--but you're grounded for breaking the rules." I can't say that I blame him, but, like I said, I don't really regret it. Plus, he let me go out on Halloween, which was more than I was expecting after losing the family's overall trust. I might give some more details later, if I'm feeling up to it.
Alex, Chelle, I read your two most recent posts, but I didn't know how to comment on them. I'm sorry, but please know that I AM keeping an eye out for you two and that my family would probably let both of you stay with us if you ever needed a place to go.
Happy belated birthday, Alex!

I never thought that I'd have to know how to say "to kill" for a Spanish vocabulary test. Go figure...
