Don't get my wrong, I love my daddy very VERY much... but he can drive me insane sometimes. This is the third time I have brought a boy home to meet my parents. And what does my Dad do? He embarrasses me, telling Ashton (the boy I WAS dating), that if he touches me, he is a dead man. Of course, my mom doesn't help when she says. "Should I go get the phaser right now?"

I mean, I am 16 years old, I'm not a child anymore. Everyone else has either boyfriends or girlfriends, why can't I have a boy in my life? I mean, I can't be Daddy's little girl forever right? Why is he so damn protective of me? I mean, this is my choice, not his. If I want to have a boyfriend, I don't think I need his permission. Mom tells me it's a father/daughter thing, but I think he is being way over to protective.

Daddy, I love you very much. But please, this is my choice, not yours.

First off, let me say that I am so sorry that I haven't posted here in a long long time. School has been hell for me and with Dad constantly on my butt about piloting school, I haven't had much time. But hopefully you will all hear from me more often.

I am in my 2nd year at the Academy. With the help of Uncle Chakotay and Aunt Kathryn I have been taking some classes that only 3 year cadets can take. So I am excited, hopefully I will graduate a year early.

Ben is like 4 now, and he's in that stage where the world evolves around him. I wonder if I was every like that. *giggle*

But, let's get to the topic. "Image"

Image isn't everything. I have learned this from my days in grade school, and here at the academy. Just because you're Andorian doesn't mean you don't know how to swim. (for those who don't know, Andoria is a ice planet.) People can be rude about other people's image. But you can never ever look at someone's outside. You have to look at their heart. Uncle Chakotay taught me that, and to this day still believe it.

Don't make fun of people because they look diffrent, always look inside their heart, that is what they truly look like.

Well, have to go to class. Hope you all have a wonderful week.

~Miral

Well, with me being 12 now it's really hard for me to talk to my parents anymore. It seems like I get into trouble more than anything. I never see Kroton much anymore with me being at pilot schooling, and well.. unfortunitly Toby went with Ben... so I bascially have no one to really talk to about my problems. Acutally, that isn't true. I have a lot of people I can turn too when I have a problem, its just, not the people I really want to talk too. I guess if I really really needed to talk to someone, it would be My Uncle Joe. But it seems like he never has time for me either. Everyone is so busy, and its hard to try to get incontact with him. Uncle Chakotay and AUnt Kathryn are always busy, and... well...

lowers head Never Mind.....

I have always wanted to get revenge on the people who have not only called me names, but have hurt my friends and loved ones. But there is someone who always pulled me aside and told me that revenge is not the way to handle things.

I want to me like my uncle Chakotay. He has always pulled me aside and told me the that revenge is not always the better. He is very wise, and I hope that one day I can be as wise and wonderful like him. Another person I would like to grow up and be like is my mommy. She is an amazing woman, and I see why Daddy loves her so much. Yah, she does have a temper, a bad temper, but besides that, she is caring, compassionate, and amazing. And I hope that when I grow up, I will be just like her!!

I love you mommy!

Miral grabs a hold of her hair gently and runs her fingers through it.

Is it wrong to dislike my hair? Everyone that has curly hair wants my hair, and I want theirs. I dont have one darn inch of curl in it. It's straighter then a flatboard and if I even want to curl it I have to ask Mom to do it and half of the time she tells me no.


Sigh I wish I can have Auntie Kathryn's hair. SHe has a nice curl to it. And Aunt Seven's hair is beautiful when its down and curly.

I hate my hair...

Miral looks down at her feet.

Well, since Klingon and Human are not alien to me, then I guess my favorite alien race would be the Bajorans. THey are such a spirital people who can kick butt when they need to. I have been to Bajor once when Mommy and Daddy took me to go see the Emissary temple. I really thought it was boring until I heard that during the time that the Emissary was killed was the time frame that Mom's friends were killed. If I had to trade my forehead ridges with anything, it would be nose ridges.

My least favorite alien race? I don't like Romulans. They think they know everything and that is simply not the case. If we had to get rid of any alien race, Romulans would be on my top list. I think they are rude, aggressive, and they think they are all that..which by the way they are not.

XOXO ~Miral~

Wow, this is not a tough topic at all! I love so many people I am not sure where to begin. The following people are just a few of who I love so very much. They have inspired me to follow my heart and my dreams. Yes, sometimes I don't follow my brain and I let my klingon side kick in, but they have helped me through the rough times, and I love them so very much. They give me the courage and the strength and I am so very happy that they are all apart of my life.




I love you all so very much! Thank you for being such an important part of my life.
XOXO
~Miral

*Miral smiled* That was today actually. You see, Daddy and Mommy have been gone these past few weeks. They got stuck teaching at the academy so Uncle Harry has been watching us. Luckly, Auntie Kathryn saved me and asked if I wanted to go with her to Jupiter Station with her.

*Giggles* Auntie Kathryn knew I was going through hell, I mean.. It's uncle Harry that is watching us... he is like a kid himself. Anyways, I got to fly the whole way there, spending some quality time with my Auntie Kathryn. I am so excited about  Auntie Kathryn and Uncle Chakotay's baby. I  am hoping its a girl, that would be so cool... She would be more fun to dress up then Ben.

~Miral~

And Embarassing moment of mine was when I was walking home from school with a boy.. (Yes a boy), his name was Chad. (Damion didn't work out... its a long story).  Anyways, he is half betazed and we were playing a "mind" game. Suddenly I tripped over a rock and fell flat on my face, scraping my cheek and ridges. Chad quickly helped me up but I was so embarassed my face was all pink.

There is nothing more embarassing then making yourself look like an idiot in front of a boy...  *Sigh* At least this happened a few weeks ago.... 

~Miral~

*Miral Kathryn Paris slowly entered the memorial center at Scifantisy. She had purposily left Toby at home, for she had to do this by herself. She had carried her backpack with her, and she had a picture frame in her hand. She walked into the large room and walked to one area where a carved memorial stone stood tall. It had a single flame and a picture of a beautiful young girl.
Miral lowered her backpack to the floor and slowly opened it, setting out a candel and slowly lite it, and placed it next to the stone. She than slowly lifted out a single white rose and placed it next to the candel. Than she slowly sat down next to it and looked at the picture.*

( Continue..... )

*Sigh* Well I am an orphan again for about a week. Mommy has to teach at the academy alllll week and Daddy has has to go to Jupiter station again. I begged and begged to go with daddy, but he told me that I had to stay here and keep an eye out on Ben.

Pft, I am so tired of having to watch him.. I know, that is a mean thing to say, and don't get me wrong, I love him to death, but its just not fair. Seems like whenever it was just the "Three" of us, I could spend time with Daddy or go with Mommy, now it seems like we have to have a babysitter all the time.

This week's babysitter is... help us all.. Uncle Harry. AUntie Seven said she was going to watch us, but she had to back out due to the fact that her Aunt Irene got sick and she was going to bring chicken soup over and stay there to keep her company. And then we were suppose to stay with Auntie Kathryn and Uncle Chaktoay but they quickly had to go to Bajor for an important all out starfleet meeting. PFT!! WHATEVER!

*Sigh* Uncle Harry is so dull, he always trys to show off with his clarinnet and he always ALWAYS makes the most nastiest Mac and cheese ever. Uncle TUVOK cooks better than he does.

My life is so dull! WHY ME!? WHY ME!?

Danger?

My Friend Kroton is missing, and I am goign to get him back, no matter what the danger is. Toby says I am nuts, that I shouldn't do this by myself, but who is going to listen to me? I already told people that Kroton has been MIA since last thursday. It isn't for Kroton to miss a Hotdog/icecream date with me.

I am a little worried, and I might get hurt. But, sometimes you got to do what you got to do to help a friend, no matter what!! Even if it means....getting yourself killed.

~Miral

PS: Just to be safe...

 I Miral KathryN Paris leave all all my stuff to my Dad and Mom. I am sure they will know what to do with it. ANd I give my kitty to my brother, cuz he loves him as much as I do. OH, and I give my ping pong racket to Uncle Chekov, cuz Daddy already has one.

Music?

I LOVE MUSIC! Okay, I am not good at it! My mom says I have talent for the piano, but I don't like it. It's to classical. I want to play the Klingon Saxaphone. Now that instrument brings out the best in you. But, when Mom first heard it, she looked at me and said "No way are you going to be playing that in my house." ::shrugs::

I actually wouldnt mind playing the drumbs either, but again, its to loud for mommy. But that is okay, I already told Ben that it was his mission to grow up and play the drums.

I hope to one day learn to play the Klingon Sax, but until know I guess the piano will do. ::sigh::

*holds up a peice of paper*

Well, here it is. My certificate for passing flight school year one. After 8 weeks of hard schooling I passed. I actually am proud of myself because I was the youngest in my class and I was first in my class as well.

I probably wont go to summer camp. I will most likely stay at home and do some extra studying and than in the fall I am going to go back to to flight school. Hopefully by the time I am 13 I will finaly have enough piloting experience to get into piloting school at the Academy.

*looks at her name on the certificate*

I am so proud of myself, something that I usually don't get. And, I am so glad everyone was there to help support me. Mom, Dad, Uncle Chakotay, AUntie Kathryn, and even Grandpa gave me a few special words for good luck. But, Kroton was the one that really helped me. When ever Dad was to busy to bring me up, Kroton would always take me.

*Sighs softly with a smile*

So, I think I am going to take a break for a few weeks,maybe teach Ben how to "organise" dad's tools. *Evil Smile* and maybe go visit Uncle Joe (He is on Jupiter Station for a few months).

XOXO
~Miral

Like what Uncle Joe said... "The Borg, party poopers of the galaxy..." I honestly don't know what to say on this topic, except of Aunt Seven, I have never met a Borg. I have been to the Borg Musseum, I have seen Borg movies, but never seen a Borg in real life... and to be frank, I don't think I ever want too.

They are creepy, they are like zombies waiting to suck the life out of you (I have been watching to many of Daddy's scary 19th century movies). And they are worse than vulcans, no emotions. No feelings, no nothing. It's still hard to believe that they are considered a big threat to the Milky Way.

But, there is always a chance that I will meet a Borg or a Borg ship, and with Aunt Kathryn's expertiece and my fancy flying.. well, we might just survive.

XOXO
~Miral

OMG! I love snow!! My favorite memory of snow was before Ben was born. We all went on a trip. Uncle Chakotay, AUntie Kathryn, Mom, Daddy, me, Uncle Joe, Uncle Harry, Uncle Harry's girlfriend (at the time I think he was dating Sarah), and Grandpa.

We all had a wonderful time! It was one of the best times in the snow I ever had. We took a trip to Alaska and stayed at a ski resort called.. umm.. Alyeska... *thinks if that is right.* Yes, Alyeska.

It was more like a sking resort, but there were hills where we could slide down. Uncle Chakotay and I raced down on a sled called a Taboggon, and it was sooo much fun. We had snowfights, we went skiing, we barbequed.

Uncle Joe and I even made a snow man, and we made it look like uncle Tuvok. It was hillarious. I love snow, I kinda miss it since we live in California and don't have any snow, but hopefully one day when Ben is a little older we all can go to Alaska again! It was so much fun.

Here, this is a picture of Uncle Chakotay and Auntie Kathryn during the trip. :)


(ARENT THEY CUTE!?!?!?!?!?!)

XOXO
~MIral

*Looks left and than looks right to see if she sees Tom Paris.*

I haven't told my parents yet, and hopefully they will never find out. If Daddy did, he might take out the phaser rifle and shoot someone. See, umm...
I have a boyfriend.

I know what you guys are going to say. That i am to young to have a boyfriend. Well, maybe I am, but that doesnt stop the fact that Damion Ravilin is anyless cuter.

I am not sure if he is the man I am suppose to be with for the rest of my life, but right now he is on my mind. I havent told Aunt Kathryn or Uncle Chakotay either. If they find out I would be sitting in a chair for three hours being lecsured. If Mom found out she would be furious, and if Dad found out Damion would be dead I am sure. Toby thinks he is badnews, which he could be, but for right now as long as Carmyn Nechayev is jealous, I am happy!

So, yah. My future name could be Mrs. Miral Damion Ravilan. Hmmm, had a nice ring to it don't you think?

My best dream

I guess my best dream that I ever had was when I was on Voyager. We were in the delta quadrant and I was a crewmember. It was the best dream I ever had. Uncle Neelix was there and I got to play Cot-a-scot with him and Domjot. I got to see Aunt Seven's alcove and got to see all the neat stuff Aunt Kathryn had in her ready room. I even got to fly Voyager. I was sad when I woke up and I was upside down on my bed... (Dont ask)

My Wost Dream

I remember dreaming about how Mom and Dad died. THey left me to raise Ben. I was a little older. They both died in a shuttle accident, along with Aunt Kathryn and Uncle Chakotay. It was the most scariest thing I ever dreamt. Not even that scary oak tree of Uncle Chakotay and Aunt Kathryn beat that dream.

*Holds Toby tightly*

I never want to dream that dream ever again.

Well, *sigh* Daddy is gone again. He got his orders a few days ago. Supposedly he had to go on a secret away mission and he couldn't even tell Mommy where he was going.

Sometimes I hate starfleet. I think it is a dumb rule that Starfleet makes you wait for your loved ones to return not telling you if it will be your last time to see them or not. Mommy is scared right now, I can tell. She even tried to talk to Aunt Kathryn, but Aunt Kathryn had no clue where he was going either but she would check it out.

We have yet to hear from her....


I overheard heard Mom and Daddy talk the night before Daddy left. Mom was yelling at him not to go that if it was so top secret that it was most likely a suicide mission. Mom and Daddy argued for a long time until Mom walked away, she was crying at that point.

And, so was I. I quickly ran to my room shut my door and leaped on my bed. Daddy must have heard me because he came in asking if I was okay. I didn't lie to him I turned around and before i knew it I punched him. I regretted it, really I did. But it didn't make the pain in my heart go away. Three weeks ago I lost my grandpa and now Starfleet sent my Daddy away and I am not sure he will ever come back.

After I hit Daddy I quickly flung my arms around him, begging him not to go. He hugged me tighter telling me that he will be okay and it was only for a few days. He even told me I could take one of his tools and sleep with it while he was away.

I miss Daddy, he should be home in about four more days. Ben has no idea Daddy is gone, he has his mind set on our new Doggy. Mommy is a mess, I can see she is not sleeping well. And for me, well...

*Looks at the yellow screwdriver*

I think I am going to comm Kroton, he always seems to make me feel better when I am down.

~Miral

Hmm if I had three wishes.. what would it be?

*Thinks long and hard*

My first wish is for Carmyn Nechayev to get what she really deserves. She is a mean person, and I don't like her. I know revenge isn't the best answer, but Oh how I wish I could just turn her into a little cardassian vole and than shoot her with a phaser!

*Thinks for another moment*

I wish that one day I will be the best pilot in the galaxy. I want to follow in my daddy's footsteps and be the best helmofficer there ever was.

And for my thrid wish

A baby sister. I would love to have a baby sister, i mean It's nice to have a brother but I can't dress him up and put makeup no him. I got in trouble yesterday for doing that. If I had a sister I could paint her nails, do her hair, put on her makeup. Yep, I think I want a sister!!


Hmm for number three.. I would like

*Gasps*  a Kroton sized Chocolate Statue!!!!!!!!!!! *Trys not to go girggly with the thought of a chocolate statue of Kroton*
