My Own Happy Slip
So... I want to get a tattoo. I've been thinking about it for over a year now, and I think I'm pretty serious about getting this. I want hide-sama's face on my back. Big. But I have to wait until I'm eighteen. Maybe I'll change my mind, but, hey, it'd be cool, right?
Okay, so. I just got done watching all of this one girl's videos on her website. It's so awesome how she got so "famous" just by making a short video. No. I'm not talking about Lonelygirl15. XDD Although, I did very much enjoy those, too. I'm talking about the one and only HappySlip. Otherwise known as Cristine (Not sure if I spelled that right or not...). It just really makes me wish I hadn't left my camera at home...
I'm thinking about getting my own domain again so it won't be blogger.

Full of Possibilities
Okay... So... Last time I posted something... I was kind of being a bitch. I agree, a good half of the problem in our last fight was me. And I feel terrible about the last line.
But I won't delete it.
I'll forgive... But I won't forget.
Which is the new motto of the month, apparently.
Really... Life's okay right now. Not too hectic. I'm really excited to be going back to school. I miss people. I need new ones. I didn't get an iPod, like I had asked for, for Christmas. But I got a MP3/Video/Picture displayer thing which was really awesome. Problem? It only held 34 songs. How in HELL am I supposed to get by with only 34 songs? So... we're taking it back tomorrow and I'm getting an iPod. ^__^
I've been at my dad's the last few days, and I think I'm staying until Friday. Because Michele's going to a book store and, of course, I'm dying to go, too. I need new books.
I got this purse for Christmas, and I think it's the greatest invention EVER. It's pink with red, yellow, blue, orange and white ameba looking things all over it. Very cute. Very much my style. Which is great because this year was supposed to be a really bad Christmas. It turned out okay, though. I got my guitar. It's very lovely, and I spent all day yesterday learning how to play a Terra Naomi song. I think I have it memorized by now.
My eyes hurt. More than usual. I can't keep them fixed on one thing. Like, I can't focus. And it kind of scares me. o.0 Because, sometimes, I think, what if I'm going blind? Melissa has bad eyesight. And so does Keirstin. I only ever needed to wear glasses when I was reading. But now, no matter what I'm doing, it's a struggle. I have to squint and close my eyes and reopen them to get pictures right. And, every night, when I'm trying to fall asleep, I have to open them because, even though my eyes are closed, it feels like their crossing.
Enough already about my problems. Time for excitement. School. I'm so ready, it's scary. I'm just a little worried, because I'll be a whole grading period behind everyone else. Guess I'll just have to work twice as hard because I... need to buckle down. My grades weren't quite so hot last grading period and I have college to worry about. They're going to look at my high school carrier and say, "it took her two years to really get into the groove. Do we really want her here?" Of course they do. I'm actually quite smart. I don't have a problem in any subject, really, except math. I can't do anything outloud. I have to write everything down. If I don't see it, I just can't do it. Mrs. Hodge nearly laid me on my deathbed in eigth grade, making us say times tables out loud. With no paper. I don't see why teachers don't understand that I can't just... do it. If it's on paper, no problem. I'm a math whizz.
How'd I end up talking about problems again? I guess that's what blogs are for, though, right? I'm supposed to put personal information on the internet for complete strangers to read and I'll bet everything in my back pocket no one even reads this.
Maybe I'll start putting links up every where I post something? My blog matters, kinda, ya'know? I could show teenage girls something. I could be... like a role model, except opposite. Don't end up like me.
I died my hair pink. And I hate it. So... I'm going to dye it... GUESS!!! Dark blonde. Like Hilary Duff's in the Perfect Man. I love her hair color in that movie. And I know I look okay as a blonde because, up until seventh grade, I was platinum blonde. Oh, those were fun times. That was forever ago, though. So I might not look so hot. But, hey, I'm entering a new chapter of my life. I need a new hair color to match the new me. It has to be fierce, yet laid back, and strong, but soft. And, to me, this hair color just represents everything I want to be. Everything I'm going to be, starting January 3rd, I think. I still have a couple days to be lazy as hell. ;)
Maybe I'll actually be buckled down enough to actually blog every now and again.
Maybe.

"Don't get snippy with me"
I am so... frustated. So, Katie and I are arguing (yes, I know, AGAIN). And -I- was the one who was mad. -I- was the one who was hurt. And she's slowly turning it all around so it will be all my fault. She said something mean. So, of course, I responded in telling her how mean in was. How pissed off it made me and how she had no right to say it. And she apologizes... "But," she added. I don't even have to put what she said afterwards. Just the fact that she couldn't admit that, this time, she was wrong, and I wasn't the one at fault. It was her. And she can't take that. AND she just said that it wasn't fair that I was holding this against her. That she's never held anything against me. And then brought up the time I told her I hated her. And it's suddenly becoming so clear why I said it in the first place.

Angst, angst, angst...
Wow. I haven't posted in a very long time. But I figured I'd go ahead since my life sucks so hard right now. I'm homeschooled. Because Mom won't let me go back to Doss. Albeit, it was my idea to leave. But when I got a feel of how much worse off I was not going to Doss, I asked to go back. And she said, "No." So, there's no more Doss. No more lunch with two of my closest friends. No more bus rides home cracking up with another of my closest friends. I had FINALLY found good, well-rounded, nice people who liked me for me and actually wanted to spend time with me whenever they could and I had it ripped from me. I had good friends. I still have them, yeah. But I don't get to talk to them like I used to. Unfair. So, yes. I spend every single day baby-sittng Kasia. I spend everyday worrying about not being able to see anyone at all over the weekend because, if I'm not around to be included in plans, I won't be included at all. And I hate that. It scares me, you know? Because... if everyone I was close to before get close to each other... they won't need me... On top of all of this crazy "being left out" shit, Katie keeps saying I don't want to be her friend because I don't ever call. No one understands how hard it is to listen to someone complain about their school day when I would give anything to switch places with them. You know the stupid part about it all? Katie doesn't ever call me. I'm constantly sitting around, waiting on the phone to ring or a good show that has nothing to do with teenagers trying to make it through highschool to come on the television and the only time the phone -does- ring, it's Cristina. Because, frankly, as far as I can see, she's the only one left that really wants to be my friend. She's trying with everything in her not to make this the end of our relationship. But, when my life is going down the drain, when I'm the one in the middle of a crisis, when I'm the one who doesn't want to wake up in the morning because I know that they only friend I'll see is my mom, I'm also the one being stabbed through the heart because I'm the one, apparently, who doesn't want to be anyone's friend. UNFAIR. I know, I'll feel bad if Katie ever reads this, but it's how I feel. And she should know that she isn't the only one with problems who needs someone to call and make the connection. She isn't the only one...

Okay. So... I can't stop crying. No matter how hard I try or where I go or who I'm in front of or who I'm talking to. It just won't stop. My mom says it isn't my fault. But I never really thought it was. I just... I can't make myself stop. It just keeps going and going and I'm worn out because I'm crying so much. And I won't stop shaking. It's kind of scary. I shouldn't be crying this hard. All that happened was that Kasia wouldn't stop crying. She just... kept going on and on and nothing I did helped. It didn't make it any better that they had left me alone with her. They said they'd be right back. Right back. Just five minutes... It was longer than five minutes. I left a little after two to go over there and when he finally got back, I was only in my room for twenty minutes and I'm back here at 3:41. Which means it was much longer than five minutes. So... yes. It isn't stopping.
Yes, it's a little while later and it's finally stopped. I'm laughing and everything. But I still have no clue what happened to me. Freaky. But, yes. Anyway. All better. ^_^

Izza: I am, without a single doubt, the winner of the cutest pigtails ever award Izza: ^_^ cherrypwnz: I bet you are. cherrypwnz: Here's what I want to say: I have never felt so strongly about one person in my entire life. cherrypwnz: I have never wanted to be so close to someone like this before. Izza: ^_^;; That's really nice... But... Mushy stuff makes me kinda uncomfortable. >_>;; I never know how to react to stuff like this cherrypwnz: I hope this makes sense... cherrypwnz: Ah. cherrypwnz: Mushy. Sokay. cherrypwnz: Eh, forget it... Izza: Sorry... cherrypwnz: Eh, it's okay. cherrypwnz: I think I understand anyway. Izza: That's good. ^_^;; Most people don't. I can hardly even watch it in movies... When it gets all serious like that... cherrypwnz: Yeah, I get it. cherrypwnz: Do you ever feel the same way, though *cringe* Izza: *shrugs* I'm fifteen. I don't really know what I feel. I... can't exactly say that... I love you more than I've loved people before... I'd... be kind of lying... cherrypwnz: I probably am an idiot for asking such a stupid question. Izza: *shakes head* Izza: No, you aren't. cherrypwnz: I'd be lying if I said the same, too. Izza: ...So you lied... "I have never felt so strongly about one person in my entire life." cherrypwnz: Well, I meant in a romantic way. Izza: I don't know... We're still so young... We shouldn't have to decide stuff like this right now. Who we love more than other's or if we even -do- love someone more than someone else. We're supposed to be having fun. cherrypwnz: I guess that's true. cherrypwnz: Jesus Christ, I feel like such a douchebag now. Izza: o.o Why? cherrypwnz: Because I am Izza: Not that I understand at all... but... okay... cherrypwnz: Yeah, I'm weird like that. cherrypwnz: Oh well, we should just forget I said anything at all. It was a bit of a dumbass move to begin with. cherrypwnz: Do you kinda understand now? Izza: Not really... But whatever. Doesn't matter. cherrypwnz: It doesn't? cherrypwnz: Okay. Izza: Well, you're the one who wants it not to matter, right? Because you want to just forget it. So, no. It doesn't.
I really don't know what to make of all of this... Because... Well... I'm not sure... But I thought I'd shared it anyway. *sighs* I'm worn out with relationships...

Rant-ified Homicide
Yeah. So I'm having a few difficulties with life. Not that I can't handle them. It's just that... it's hard... I had this really great friend, right? And we kept getting into fights. At first, I was all, best friends get into fights all of the time. So it's okay. But it kept happening. Every week, we were in an argument. Every single week. It got to the point where I didn't want to talk to her because I would say something wrong or she would. And we'd fight. So... A couple of arguments later, and I'm completely fed up. I don't want to be around someone that I can't be civil with, ya'know? Well, this last fight we had... It was the last straw for me. I was done. Didn't care what anyone thought or said to me. I was just... done. Which wouldn't be so bad... but someone (I name no names) has told me that she's holding this huge grudge against me and hates my guts. But I'm being the bigger person. I said, "Okay. I'm not going to be a bitch in this situation. We aren't going to be friends but I'm not going to talk about her behind her back. Not like she's doing to me." I don't care who I'm talking to, I don't talk about people like that. I don't like it. And I don't like it when other people do. I clam up and get quiet. And usually, I'll just give short answers. Like, "Yeah." and "I know." Because, hey, for all I know, if someone's willing to talk about someone behind their back, what qualms would they have with talking about me...? None. Which is why I don't like it. So, yes. I'm without one friend. But... frankly... I'm kind of okay with it... Every friendship is doomed to end at some point. So this one ended before anyone seriously got hurt. What's the harm in that?
On to other topics, Cristina asked me if I felt guilty about anything I've done recently. And, of course, I don't. Because I haven't done anything wrong. Which made me think, why would she even ask? Which also reminded me, she's been talking to my boyfriend lately. Not that I care. I know Cristina better than anyone and I know she would -never- even -think- about hurting me. So, I don't mind. But it's the fact that... He may have told her to ask me. Which would piss me off so much. If you can't talk to me... What's the point in having a relationship?
He was over the other day. And he goes, "Guess what." Naturally, I asked, "What?" And he says, "I love you." And I'm all, "Well, you better." And he thinks I'm trying to say, in some amazing female language that I don't feel the same. And he says, "You know, if you don't feel the same, don't lie to yourself. You don't have to say it back to me." So I go, "Okay." It isn't that I don't. It's just the fact that I don't need to be reassured of someone's feelings for me every fifteen minutes. I want to know that, if we should break up, I can rely on myself. And not need to constantly hear that someone loves me. I mean, great. Lovely. Maybe I love you, too. But I don't feel the need to have to say it all of the time. Goodbye, sure. I love you. But not, hey, there's a blank in the conversation. I love you. That makes it kind of cheap, ya'know? I know I'm only in high school and I'm still a kid myself but I don't want to be treated like a little girl. >____< I don't know. I'm not even sure if I'm actually mad about this. I'm just pissed off all together.
But I'm really excited at the moment for Bunni. ^_^ She's going to a birthday party of a girl she has a crush on and I'm so excited for her... I hope everything works out for her, I really, really do. Love ya, Bunni! And to anyone who actually reads this bull. Thanks. It means a lot. ^_^

Missed church. Cristina isn't having a good day. Bummer. But I stayed home. Talked to mom for a good few hours. I love that woman. Nate's sister brought her baby over. She's grown a lot. But Kasia is just as long. She's a month younger. Weird, right? Yeah, well...
So I'm talking to Bunni and she sends me a link to youtube for this band called SID. And I fall in love almost immediately. So, she sends me another link and I'm listening. The track is oddly familiar. And I'm like, "Wtf? Where have I heard this before?" when I realize, it's on my MP3 players. But I've never heard of this band before. Weird, right? Yeah. But it's cool. Now, I know who they are. Thanks, Bunni! ^____^ <<3
I'm still all itchy and paranoid. Everytime my hair moves, I flinch. Scary.
Watching another SID video. They're all so adorable. <<3 And the bassist has really, really hot legs. XDDD That's love. *nods* Extremely hot legs love. Aww... Now one where he's being all cute and shy. But, I must say, I think the lead singer is the cutest. And, no, not just because Bunni has already claimed the bassist. XDDD >> << >> << >> << >> The bassist is really hot, though.
Well... I'mma cut a long say short and book it. Love to all who read this. <<3
Girl of Nothing but Grays 7:39 PM
I've got to leave soon to get ready for church. It isn't really that I don't want to go. Because, seriously, I do. I want to see Cris and everybody again but I.. just don't feel much like doing anything at all. >___< And it sucks because I have no choice. I have half an hour to get ready so I really shouldn't be over here but I don't want to move.
One of my aunt's cats has flees. And I'm, like, highly allergic to any bug bite. And I keep getting biten. So I'm all itchy and swollen. Yay. To be frank, I wouldn't have come back over here if I wasn't trying to get a hold of Cristina. But I stayed. And I know I'll regret it when I'm trying to go to sleep because I'll be all itchy. This sucks. Big time.
Anyway, I have to go now. Already spent too much time. Love to all who read this! ^___^
