Ok, this is about the accident which happened last year(September 13, 2002):
Well I'm back people, miss me? Lol, got in a major bad bike accident. I was mad that day and went straight down a steep hill. And man this hill was steeep! I can't remember the accident but I do remember standing at the top with my bike and I was playing with something..dirt or a weed and looking down and thinking "this hill is majorly steep." I'm such an idiot for going down it, then since I went alone the police found me in the morning and I was rushed to ICU (intensive care unit) but I was rushed there in a helicopter!! I wish I could remember because flying in a helicopter would be awesome!



           And I was at this place Kern Medical Center for awhile and I don't remember being there. But I was in a coma for 12 days, scary huh? All my friends and church members who knew me and didn't know me, would come and see how I was doing. They'd hold my hand, and just sit with me. Ha ha I had a bunch of tubes going down my throat and my face was all scratched up and I was limp as though I was dead, but they would still hold my hand. Nice friends... my church pastors are awesome too, the first night they stayed with me all night long, and when I went to the Childerens Hospital my pastor came and saw me there, and I'm talking it's not short drive. It's three hours!! So it was good to see him and his son Dallas, cuz I go to school with him and we'll talk and stuff, he's an awesome guy to talk to, so godly. :D

So then I stayed at Kern two weeks then they transfered me to Valley Childerns Hospital it's in a small town called "Madera". Gosh, the people that worked there were so nice. All the therapists an nurses were so awesome, they're the only thing I miss right now. And when I left I gave them all hugs and my Mom started to cry because the nurses were so sweet they're all, "Bye sweetie, have a safe trip And Be Careful!"And my therapists would say the same thing. I miss my nurses, since I'm up so early...cuz since the accident I've been waking up at 4:30,3:30, yeah! So I'd talk to my nurses sooo long in the morning. Ha  ha, one thing I remember is they were all like 27!! I was like ,"what's up with that!" And half of them were married. So I'd say, "so are  you married or do you have a boyfriend?" And most of them would say they were married. But my favorite nurse her name was Dia, she had a boyfriend!!! Wow, ha ha. I just noticed something, I'm more talkative now, I've never typed that much in "news". And when my Pastor came to see me at Childerens, even HE said I was more talkative . So maybe God wanted me to fall down and all so I'd be more talkative and maybe get someone to know Him. I'm not afraid to talk to a stranger now.

In Childrens they would have "outings" which are like field trips, to Target and I talked to my cash register lady, before I would have NEVER done that. I asked her,"Soooooo how do you like working here?" Surprisingly she said she loved it because all the people were so nice, so next time u chat with me I'll be like "blah blah blah blah!" Ha ha aha.You won't be able to shut me up. Well I better go update more up my website, go and sign in here u guys, ha, no one ever signs in there! Alrighty c ya!~

Love,
Me

P.S. I've always been a fast healer, but I give all the glory to God for letting me come home. He's so Awesome!!

Hey guys. Washup!!!
Not much has happened lately. Um, Dole's still been striking, so that's kinda a pain for her. She's so busy with college and striking at the same time, that it's real stressful for her. Hm, modeling's going the way it usually does. Lots of castings and...uh that's about it. Got to share my accident with a guy at the last Pac Sun casting. So that was pretty rad. God really blessed it. And the Montel show is interested in doing a show on my accident. But still we're not too sure if they wanna do that, 'cause we've already been on the Maury Povitch show. Me and my Mom talked to this nice lady named Amber, and she said she'll call us next week to tell us if the producers want this story. She's gotta have this big meeting with them I guess. So...ah whateva. It's in God's hands, so whatever His will is---I'll be happy with.          Like... lately I've been noticing little things and taking time to slow down and do things well and have fun. With people, I'll look at their eyes and where they look when I'm listening and talking to them. It's been interesting...that's fer sure. Some people look all around, them others stare at you while you talk. The staring makes me feel uncomfortable--so I like a mix of both I think. Ha, dumb it may sound, but try it. You'll see what I mean. And when you look at their eyes, look into the eye. At the pupil and color of the circle. It's kinda cool-like watching the pupil focus on things. Getting smaller and bigger all the time. lol
So..that's what's been happenin'...trying to get my government done so I can move onto my next course. YAY! I can't wait to get done with high school. That'll rock. Well---I better go. I need to get some sleep for tomorrow, which doesn't have one thing planned so that means...WORK-OUT AND GOVERNMENT! Yippee. lol, c ya.

Love ya and God bless,
Alana
