Chapter 4 A Mother's Love
Spending as much time as I have with Helga, I've gotten to experience, firsthand, her dysfunctional family. I've witnessed the damage done by years of parental neglect. Her family doesn't really see her as a person of value. It's truly amazing that she has remained strong in the face of indifference.

After I finish telling Olga about everything that happened today, I get up from the chair to turn her over. It has to be to be done everything two hours and the caregiver doesn't seem to be around. If Olga isn't repositioned, she will develope bed sores.
She feels so light and fragile, as if
Unibrow Chapter 3 Olga Shrine
One of the greatest regrets in my life was being so self obsorbed that I neglected my baby sister, Helga. I should have been there for her instead of trying to be the center of attention. I should have listened to her instead of keeping up with my parents expectations. I can't change the past, but I hope someday we will become close. I hope we become real sisters.

The sun begins to set. Everything in the sky burns chemical fire orange and pink, a toxic mural; it's a beautiful sight. As much as I would like to avoid going back to my house, I can't be here after dark; it's no
Chapter 2 Signs of Life
People tell me they see Helga Pataki everywhere, spending her time wandering the neighborhood. No one really knows why. They say she's downright evil. They say she's lost her mind. Some believe she is endlessly looking for Arnold like a restless spirit trying to pass on. Others say she lost her memory. What ever the reason, when the temperature starts rising and the streets are empty keep your eyes open. Because you just might see her. She already has what it takes to be a legend.

I made a video with scenes from the hey arnold episode "heat". After recording a random track, I felt it had a jazzy mellow feel similar to the music from the series. So I couldn't resist making a washed out color saturated dream version of hey arnold footage.

After reading some great Hey Arnold related fanfics by KatherineHowardRose and openlybroken (Polkahotness), I've been inspired to write one of my own. I wrote the ending last week and am currently working my way to it from the beginning. It's about Helga dealing with the aftermath of a devastating flood that swept through Hillwood while Arnold is still with his parents in San Lorenzo. It will detail her emotional struggle with herself and surroundings. She will be 13 years old; so, this is pre-The Pataki's. I'm really looking forward to this and can't wait for you guys to read it.
I just finished this song "Visitor" on Monday. It goes along with chapter 28 of "Helga's Baby Shattered". Have a listen while reading the chapter.
