Relief

So, these past few months have obviously been turbulent for me and Ian. I almost, but didn't have the guts to, broke up with him. Despite what my posts have displayed, it was just as much my fault as it was his. I was constantly putting up this emotional front that anyone would have a hard time to deal with, especially Ian. It was a bit selfish of me to expect him to do exactly what I wanted him to; however, he wasn't smart on his part to completely ignore it. Perhaps it wasn't that I didn't have the guts to break up, but because I knew there was something there for me. I'm not stupid, I know where to stop. If this was such a destructive relationship, I would have shut it down.

But something inside me was holding me back from breaking it off. It wasn't that I loved him, because love does destroy sometimes. It's obvious that I loved and still love him. I woke up on Christmas morning, and remembered WHY I loved him. I had forgotten. I was blinded by the grudge I was holding. I had forgotten not only why I loved him, but simply why I was FRIENDS with him.

Why was I attracted to him, as a person, in the first place? He's caring, funny, spazzy, genuine, intelligent, and gorgeous, among countless other things. When I realized that, I wanted to jump up and down and scream. I was so fucking happy; how could I have forgotten what an amazing person he was?

It was time for me to forget the past, and look to the future. This grudge I had been holding stopped me from seeing his inner beauty, and caused me to continuously bring up the pain caused from our mistakes. Forgiveness is a beautiful thing, and I can't be more thankful for having the strength to release that grudge. Sorry, the love I have for him can not be relinquished that easily.


I love Ian Angier McTeague, and I'm happy about it. <3

Wonder and realization

Wonder:
I've come to realize that I automatically expect that you don't care about me; that I'm the last of your priorities, that you'd much rather do something else, or chill with someone else. What brings this up, you ask?

Well, you know on Friday, how I called out to you, you "ignored" me (had headphones in, and didn't hear), and I thought you didn't care and didn't want to see me? Afterwards you were talking about how it made you sad that I automatically think you're just being an ass hole, or I'm not important, or whatever...and I started wondering. Why? Why do I feel that I'm not important to you? Why do I think that you'll have the most sociopathic (is that even a word...?) response? What could have happened that set things this way? When did this all come about? It wasn't always this way. I used to expect you to care for me, I'm your friggin' girlfriend!

Also, a half of me KNOWS you care. The logical side. Christine, think about how he responds when he sees you. It's not negative...he loves you, silly! And I KNOW that is the right answer, yet I fail to jump to that conclusion.

Realization:
See previous post.
Also, I have pretty low self-esteem (har har, what a surprise), and I put myself last. Why should anyone else do differently, eh?
I'm pretty sure when you combine those two, you get the answer.

Another project for me to work on!!! ^_^ Ian loves you!
(and by "you" I mean me. =P)

I'm STILL pissed.

I just can't let go of the fact that Ian didn't even attempt to hang out over the summer. If we were together, it's because I worked my butt off to find a day where he wasn't with his friends.

From earlier post...

Yes! It's finally SUMMER! God, I've been looking forward to this for MONTHS. God, it just feels so good! I have so much to look forward to:

-hanging out with friends

As if! Like he even cared about me enough to make any sort of effort to talk to me! I was the one always texting him. I tried to call. I constantly asked him whether he was available. I was the one who stayed up until two or three am just to exchange a few words with him!!!

But Christine! He really had no choice! You were cooped up in your house, what could he have done? It's really not his fault, you know...

HE HAS MY FUCKING NUMBER. HE COULD HAVE PICKED UP THE PHONE AND CALLED, DUMBASS. He could have at least TRIED. God, he just failed at being a boyfriend! Yes, I'm bringing this up, ohhh...say, three or four months late. I'm sorry!! I just need to get this out! It just...hurt really bad. Was I really that insignificant? Was I? It made me feel worthless. And I guess that's what I was to him, because HE'S never indicated otherwise.

*SCREAMS*


In case you can't tell, this REALLY pissed me off. What a fuck-head.

And of course I love him. <3

Backwards

Did you read my last post? Go. Read it, or this won't make sense.

Now, I want to say life has turned to shit, but I'm mega-uber-happy! I'm not complaining...but what the hell?!?

NONSENSE! Ha, life's pulling a practical joke. I'm almost sure of it. =)

Oh great.

My emotions no longer correspond with what's going on in my life. I look logically at what's been happening, and for me to feel this shitty makes no sense. None at all.

I HATE THIS NONSENSE.

Loveeovl

Love is real , real is love
Love is feeling , feeling love
Love is wanting to be loved

Love is touch, touch is love
Love is reaching, reaching love
Love is asking to be loved

Love is you
You and me
Love is knowing
we can be

Love is free, free is love
Love is living, living love
Love is needed to be loved

I love this song..gnos siht evol I
I wish John Lennon wrote this to me...

Scary shit...

...is too difficult to write about. My first-cousin-once-removed had one of his friends in a serious car accident; according to him, she was amazing, and is in critical condition, and it pisses me off. So you know what I'm going to do? Write about something superficial to take my mind off of this fucked up shit.

Hmm...oh I know! I'm turning my blog into one of those stupid Myspace bulletins. Or not. God, I feel so bad for my cousin...FUCK. IT'S NOT FAIR.

She, according to him, was a nice girl, one of the happiest he knew. She was smart, caring, nice...and THEN SHE GETS HIT BY AN OLD LADY. Yeah. That's right. She was hit by an old lady on her way to work, and now she cracked her skull, her jaw, and has a lot of swelling on her spinal chord. WTF.

First of all, almost no one deserves that, let alone one of the few people like her who deserve a beautiful life. I mean, her looks will permanently be distorted, and she's still in critical condition. Who even knows if she's going to fucking live.

UGH. Life is a bitch. With a capital B.

Mind and Body

I just realized the compliment each other. I mean, sure I've heard things like that. Whatever. But I've finally experienced it.

So, my boyfriend and I were going through a rough spot (tangled emotions, unsaid problems, distance....etc.). Wah wah. But I've found that when I'm happy and around him, I gain all this energy. I feel upbeat and willing to go out and do things, even if I've only got 3 hours of sleep. My head aches clear, I forget any physical troubles....

And after we do boyfriend-girlfriend...things...my mind clears, I feel like problems have solved. That's not even it. Problems arrive if we don't get a chance to be alone with each other and absorb everything there is to absorb from being in each other's presence. We really need to carve out some time in our schedules to bask in each other's resplendence....

And I feel that all relationships need that, whether it's with family members, friends, boyfriend...whatever. And no, I do not mean I want to make out with my family...ew. I mean that...I dunno physical contact tends to fuel a healthy relationship. It's a wonderful thing.

Aaaaah, the joy of love. Hehe. <3

Damn it...

I've lost the motivation to live. It's not that I want to die, or anything like that; it's just, I feel like nothing is pushing me to strive. Nothing makes me feel passionate. And it really sucks.

For the majority of my life, I've always had a few things, maybe even one, or people, who made me feel like no matter what happened, at least I had them. Don't get me wrong, I still do love my friends and family and Ian, of course; but their presence has ceased to make me feel better. It has stopped making me feel as if no matter what goes wrong, I'll have them (or it...depending on what we're talking about...). God damn it, even HARRY FUCKING POTTER DOESN'T MAKE ME JUMP UP AND DOWN AND SCREAM WITH JOY!

I no longer strive for the best grade in the class, or at least one of the best grades. No longer do I care what my work looks like. Half-assed gets me by, why work harder? Who gives a fuck about college? It's just the same shit all over again, but harder. Who cares about life? All it is is a vicious monster that wants to suck out the happiness that is trying to embrace me spirit. I don't care about my hair, my clothes, my body. Nothing matters. I WANT to die, because living a passionless life is horrible. Living with nothing to live for is just about the worst thing I've ever come across. And I've given it a chance. Trust me, I have. Nothing seems to work anymore...I don't know if this makes sense.

My loss of determination...loss of passion...it has made life futile.

P.S. I am also in dire need of a good fucking.

Calling you...

"Calling You"

There's something I can't quite explain
I'm so in love with you
You'll never take that away
And if I've said it a hundred times before
Expect a thousand more
You'll never take that away

So expect me to be
Calling you to see
If you're okay when I'm not around
Asking "if you love me"
I love the way you make it sound
Calling you to see
Do I try too hard to make you smile?
To make us smile

[Chorus]
I will keep calling you to see
If you're sleeping, are you dreaming
If you're dreaming, are you dreaming of me
I can't believe you actually picked me

I thought that the world had lost it's sway
It's so hard sometimes
Then I fell in love with you
Then came you
And you took that away
It's not so difficult
The world is not so difficult
You take away the old
Show me the new
And I feel like I can fly when I stand next to you
So while I'm on this phone
A hundred miles from home
I'll take the words you gave me and send them back to you

I only want to see
If you're okay when I'm not around
Asking "if you love me"
I love the way you make it sound
Calling you to see
Do I try too hard to make you smile?
To make us smile

[Chorus]

God...I really wished someone cared about me this much. I can relate to him so much...it's extremely shattering. I wish I could just have someone out there who would call me to say, 'I love you!' or just to make sure I'm okay. It's what I honestly need...I know I have Ian, don't get me wrong! I love him so much, and I'm extremely thankful he's there.
But he's not exactly the kind to just run up to me and hug me, or send me a text listing all the reasons he loves me; and to be honest, that's how I am. Just ask him. How many fucking emails have I sent with either just a leet heart or a simple, 'You're amazing'? I would never stop telling him that, and I never will...even if we do break up. Because I loved him platonically, prior to being "in love" with him. But anyways...
I just need someone to show me they love me that much...

Complain, complain, wah wah wah....

Love

Whoa, it's like I'm falling in love all over again. <33333

What the fuck.

Where did you go? Who are you? Since when did you stop listening to yourself? That's all that's really bothering me. Get a grip soon, you fucking hypocrite, or this whole thing is done. Seriously.

As in it's OVER. =(

Warning: emoness ahead

Is it really such a bad thing that I care about you? Hm, maybe it is...but you've really got me stumped. I pour every drop of happiness I can muster into you, and you don't seem to care. I stop, and you act like I've done something wrong. WHAT is it that you want me to do? I care about you, and if it bothers you that I show any sort of concern when you alarm me, then too bad. Here - I'm gonna let you in on a little secret - FRIENDS CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER. WHEN ONE IS IN NEED, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO FUCKING CARE. Now, if I fufill that requirement, I apologize a thousand times, because you don't seem to give a fuck about anything I feel or think anymore.

I'm here, if you just want someone to listen, but you don't want to talk. You don't seem to want to ever do anything that doesn't make you look look like the epitomy of perfection. I'm sorry if I'm not incessantly kissing your feet, but that's not my job. I'm only human, and if I'm not as cool as you, live with it. I have flaws yes, but at least I try and work on them. Maybe you're just blind. Maybe you don't care. I do care about you, but you don't seem to see that...you blind, thoughtless prick.

I love you all.


P.S. This can be to whoever you want it to be to...mais, je pense que vous sait qui vous êtes.

Ignorance

Ignorance is tolerable, but to the extreme, it just drives me up wall. Of course, I'm being a total and complete hypocrite, because I'm one of the most ignorant people you shall ever meet.

Back on topic...this particular entry has to do with people's knowledge of India. I keep getting asked stupid questions about India that any dimwit should know.

"Do they have electricity in India?"
"Where do you sleep...do they have houses?"
"So does your family have to live in little huts? Why don't you just buy a bigger hut for them?"
"Do they use money...or do they just trade stuff like we used to?"

Honestly! What the hell! YES, we have electricity, no, not ALL of India is a wasteland filled with savage huts, and YES, YES, YES WE HAVE MONEY. IT'S CALLED RUPEES, DAMN IT.

And these are coming from people I would expect to know, ranging from college students to 50 year old women! That's like asking a Jew how they're doing, recovering form the Holocaust (hopefully, they're not a holocaust survivor...), or something!

Oh well. I guess people are just ignorant, blumbering fools. Hmf.

BTW - today is Harry Potter's 27th birthday! Happee Birthday Harry!

HJP...oh and thinking can be painful.

First of all OMG OMG HARRY POTTER. IT'S GONE. I'M GOING TO DIE. BUT IT WAS AMAZING. I LOVED IT!!! PERFECT ENDING. SO GENIUS!

Second, thinking has been way too much work for me lately. Actually it's just this one thing. Okay, so people date, go out, whatever you wanna call it, right? Well, you're either going to break up with that person, or marry them. Or just keep going out with them forever?????

1. You break up

What's the point of going out with someone if you're just going to end up breaking up and heartbroken? I mean, if you know you're not going to end up with that person, then what's the point of going out with them at all??


2. You get married

Who the hell thinks, after a few months, "Hmm...I think I'm going to end up marrying this person..." Especially in high school!!! That is extremely unlikely.


3. You go out forever.

Three letters. Ready? W. T. F.

See...I'm tired, and confused. Relationships need to die. And everyone needs to become bunnies and like Harry Potter and then turn into blades of grass. Please disregard the previous sentence. ^^

EDIT: I think my point was, what are you supposed to expect out of a relationship...I mean in the future?

Penises

Holy shit, they're not even pretty!! Honestly! The female body is so much more beautiful! I mean...less hair, curves, boobs...we've got it all!! Men, however...the most they've got is muscley arms and abs. Penises, what about penises you say?? No! They're not pretty! Not even the almighty Daniel Radciffe's! I mean...it just looks like a lumpy sausage. Not even appetizing!! Cleavage, however, is much more mesmerizing. I'm sure us vaginas got the better end of the deal...

Now, that's enough nudity!!!! Ummm...to redeem myeslf...take a look at this!

That's all for now....HARRY POTTER COMES OUT ON SATURDAY WOOOT!

**HEAT**

Oh. My. Effing. Gosh. I can't handle this heat! No longer can I wake up, see the sun and say, "Aaaah, what a beautiful day! I love the summer time." No. Gone are the days where little children play on the sidewalk. Yes....yes, NOW little children FRY on the sidewalk! As I walk downstairs, beautiful and fleeting images of the vivid colors of fall, the cool breeze as a dying leaf dances at your feet, a dead tree looming over a fence flash through my mind...oh, how I long for the autumn. The winter...the cold. They have come to hold a dear place in my heart. Not to mention the rain...

O Rain, how I love you. There is no better feeling that encompasses me, than the one that soars through my veins when you caress my face (okay, perhaps Ian can top that...). How I long for you! I miss hearing your arrival as you patter on the roof. How lonely the leaves must feel without your sacred drops prancing and sliding on their bellies, infant waterfalls dumping forth pools of joy. Rain, rain, please don't go away...

I don't know why...

...but I sort of feel like posting this poem a family-friend wrote. I never viewed him as much of a poet, but whatevz. Anyways, obviously, he's been in Iraq and has seen some major crap...so yeah!

Take a man and put him alone, Put him twelve thousand miles from home. Empty his heart of all but blood, Make him live in sand, in mud. This is the life I have to live, This the soul to God I give.
You have your parties and drink your beer, While young men are dying over here. Plant your signs on the White House lawn; "Lets get out of Iraq". Use your signs and have your fun, Then refuse to use a gun. There's nothing else for you to do, Then I'm supposed to die for you? There is one thing that you should know; And that's where I think you should go! I'm already here and it's too late.
I've traded all my love for all this hate. I'll hate you till the day I die. You made me hear my buddy cry. I saw his leg and his blood shed,
Then I heard them say, "This one's dead". It was a large price for him to pay, To let you live another day. He had the guts to fight and die, To keep the freedom you live by. By his dying, your life he buys,
But who gives a fuck if a Soldier dies!

California [[is nice to the homeless...]]

Woot! I'm finally back from Cali! Wow...that wedding was amazing in so many ways...I think I'm going to seperate the wedding into four different parts. Enjoy!

1. Fancy Shmancy
Holy crap, dude. Holy. Crap. This wedding is by far the most beautiful wedding I've ever been to...and coming from an Indian family, I've been to a lot. It took place in this precious vineyard in Central California. It was like I had walked into a little tuscan village or something! The sun seemed to kiss everything and make everything beautiful. Everyone was dressed up to the max, and just having the whole family in one place was amazing. The food was good, and...wow. The outside of the reception was amazing. There was a cobblestone path, bordered by a deciduous forest and a bunch of ivy on the other side. Between there was a dirt patio thingy and it was just oh so glorious!! God...I can't even describe it. The flowers were blooming, the trees provided the perfect amount of shade...and...*sigh*....

2. Wasted
Wow. I've never seen my cousins drunk. Ever. I mean, I've heard about it. So, my cousin married a finnish girl, so her whole finnish family was there. You'd think that they'd be the drunk ones, right? NO! The indians! They were dancing like retards, and...oh god, it was so embarrasing, yet incredibly funny. Like, this guy was giving a toast and he was like, "And I know this is going to be a happy marriage, since they are one in Christ..." and my cousin is like, "Right, because Jews nor anyone ELSE in the world could ever be happy!!!" And there was this one who ran around the whole night and introduced us all to the finnish people...every indian girl was named, "Maxine," that night. She couldn't remember our names, lmao. One of my aunts passed out...God, it was hilarious. Because the most drunk ones were the ones who were usually uptight and all. Haha

3. Finnish Boy
-_- So, this drunk finnish father dragged his son over to me, my cousin and Maxine and said, "Would any of you fine ladies like to dance with this young boy!?" We all just sort of looked at him blankly...until my cousin pushed me into the boy!! Argh! The stupidest thing was he couldn't dance, and didn't live up to the 'hot finnish boy' stereotype! I didn't want to say, "Hell no" because that would just seem rude. But...argh. The whole time I was wishing Ian were there and not the stupid bozo behind me. Eventually I got away from him...phew!

4. Bouquet!
Guess what. I caught the bouquet!! "Caught." I actually just picked it up off the ground. She threw it back and it landed next to my cousin's feet, and she just backed away. So I just sort of picked it up half-heartedly and my drunk relative was like, 'YAY MAXINE!' Lol...hope you're ready to get married, Ian! lol jk jk

Other than the wedding, we went to Great America. It's this big fat theme park and it was uber fun! Maxine, Sinu, Paul and Uncle Dalton went on ALL the crazy rides, while Shereen and I just stuck to the baby rides, lmao. But we all enjoyed the water park portion of it. All I can say it was fun. I think the only bad part about it all was the drive there and back. I missed you all, and I really miss the rain! <3

OMG OMG OMG HARRY POTTER COMES OUT SO SOON! I SAW A BUNCH OF ADS IN CALI!! WOOT!

Finally!

I feel like a bird that's been trapped in a cage. A cage of EDUCATION! WAAH!

Yes! It's finally SUMMER! God, I've been looking forward to this for MONTHS. God, it just feels so good! I have so much to look forward to:

-hanging out with friends
-work (I'm not look forward to it, but I <3 teh $$$$$$...
-INDIA! Woo, family FTW! Curry! Palm trees! YAY!
GOSH, I can't wait!!! So excited!
-California! (now whenever I hear that word, I think of Ian and Aubrey singing, "California..."...and and YAY FOR WEDDINGS!)
-haircut (not short, though! definitely pretty, however!)
-eating brownies, playing Harry Potter, and skipping anything that resembles a real meal with certain cousins haha
-Having giant orgys with random people at school and strangers...perhaps with the same certain cousins (don't ask)

Yeah, I could go on and on and on and ONNN....but I won't. BUT FIRST, look at this pretty picture:::::




Isn't he the best?! I love Daniel Radcliffe and Harry Potter and - wait!!

20 DAYS UNTIL HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHEONIX AND 30 DAYS UNTIL HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS!!!!!! (haha, it's me again!)

Stupidity

Today, after orchestra, I didn't think I'd see Ian. I did, however, and it made me extremely excited and happy! I was about ready to run up and talk to him...until Samm came and talked to him. Whatever she said, it made him really really happy, so at least that's good. It was just one of that moments that made me stop in my tracks. But it was really all I could think about during physics.
='(

Yes, I know I'm pathetic and stupid.

Sex

I've really wanted it lately. Bad. This has never happened before. I've usually been a really chaste person. I wouldn't even talk about sex. But the other day...wow.

So...the other day I had a real bad incident. I'm so dissapointed in myself. No, I didn't have sex. Well...I had cybersex. If Ian had never read smut before, he sure did in his texts. Wow, I'm not going to post it, because it'd be quite explicit. A few hours before we were dirty texting (rather, I was dirty texting), I kept "accidentally" dropping the cell phone in my lap, simply because it felt good. He told me I need to learn to masturbate. Ha. So much for Catholicism. I will not masturbate, no siree.

And I thought that it was just a one-day thing. I thought I was just lustful that one night, it'd go away. No big deal. But no! The next day, all I could think about was how much I wanted him. I wanted to share my love in ALL ways possible...and I just feel so guilty. And...today. I almost asked him for sex, because I knew he'd say yes. I now realize why lust is a deadly sin. It's really ruined my innocence.

I really need more self-control. =(

Strings FTW!

I realize this is silly and immature, but I just couldn't help it...

Top 20 Reasons to Date a Strings Player:
20) We can go for hours at a time.
19) The bigger the instrument, the deeper it goes.
18) We always follow the stick.
17) For better sound, we point our f-holes towards the audience.
16) We can shift from position to position with ease.
15) We're good at making up our own fingerings.
14) We're careful with our instruments and we clean them after every use.
13) We can do it fast or slow.
12) When we play, we can be loud or soft.
11) We love to vibrato whenever we have a chance.
10) We like to play in groups of four or more.
9) We can do it sitting or standing.
8) The first violin players always have to lead.
7) But the seconds are always willing to follow.
6) If we make a mistake, we do it over again for perfection.
5) We are always ready to play in any position.
4) We pay close attention to fingerings and accidentals.
3) We can improvise in any situation.
2) We always have at least one G string.
1) Unlike those band nerds, we're good at more than just blowing.

Realization

I need to figure out that people don't bite your head off if you talk to them. Seriously, I went to the elowel meetup yesterday, and the ENTIRE TIME, I either hid behind Ian or just isolated myself with him and Maxine...and Pocahontas for a while, too.
I don't even know why I'm like this. I'll see someone, and automatically avoid contact. Seriously, the only way I meet people, is through other people. I think there's only been two people (some random Mexican girl and Nick Woods...and she came up to me!) in my life who I've known first. Okay, I'm going through a list of friends:

-Elaine: Maxine
-Olivia: Elaine
-Layla: Olivia and Elaine
-Nick B.: Spencer
-Spencer: Nick Woods
-Ian: Nick Bayhi
-Lacey: Elaine
-Lisette: Elaine

Okay, I know everyone through Elaine...or something like that. Anyway, I need to open up or something. But it's really, really, really difficult.

...

I miss Ian. And I feel like a minimalist right now...so yeah. ='(

J'adore Ian.

C'est vrai.

Disagree without being disagreeable...

...I find this to be one of the most amazing concepts. If I could even begin to describe how great things would be if the people of this world could just learn to do this, I would, but I can't. At least I can't still try.
One of the most self-defeating things people can do - yes, I am at fault here as well - is being too sensitive. Too many times have I seen someone say something contradictory to a fellow being, because they thought that the comment was directed at them. The fact of the matter is, and I know this sounds mean, you're not that important. When someone says something like, "I'm so glad I don't have to go to Church anymore!" they are NOT saying, "Church is stupid, no one should go to it. You're an idiot. Stop going to Church." It's just their opinion. Opinions, frankly, don't mean a thing. They're purely how someone thinks.
The problem comes when they try to enforce that opinion on you. This is when you become disagreeable. To be able to voice your opinion, speak your mind, and show people what you believe in is great. But when you let that affect how you treat people, that's where the turmoil begins. If you go up to someone and say, "Get away from me. You're gay...just go over there or something," OR "You shouldn't stop praying to your false God, he doesn't give a shit about you," that's just wrong.

Imagine a world where people were able to express themselves without shooting eachother down, or being shot down. Imagine a place where you could hear someone disagree with you, sing your own little tune, and go on without getting into a self-defeating argument. Those arguments singularilty lead to hurt feelings, or those of resentment. Now, I'm NOT, by any means, saying to stop debating. I'm simply saying that people should be more considerate.

God, I'm such an idealist...

O Happy Dagger!

Sometimes, I feel like a dramaqueen. I hate that, because I despise dramaqueens. I feel like I only want the attention on myself. I feel like that if no one is listening to me, no one cares. And to listen, I have to talk. I don't know whether I'm imagining things or if I'm really like this. And what's weird, is that I hate talking about myself or things going on in my life. I love listening to other people talk about their secret crushes, or devastating problems and making people happy. But if I'm constantly saying, "I love Juanito! Yay!" or "Oh my gosh! I hate --fill in the blank--! It's so annoying! ARGH!" when can I ever listen?
I feel like I exaggerate things to the point where I can see a crown atop my head, with flashing read lights reading "DRAMA!"
Hm, maybe I'm imagining things. Maybe I'm being one RIGHT NOW. Maybe I'm just stupid. Either way, tell me the way it really is.

Am I dreaming?!

Okay...I'm scared that I'm getting my hopes too high. Steve (who can be slightly annoying, but mostly happy ^_^) said he forced Ian to talk about why he wouldn't ask me out. And you know what he said? He said that he was:

a. Scared (of course)
b. Didn't want to ask me out in a conformist fashion!

Silly Juan...

If you knew anything about this, tell me!

Love is a song that never ends...

I'm taking Elaine's lead, and fessin' up who the apple of my eye is. And he has been since the end of September. Well, here are some clues;

-He's spazzy
-He's taller than me
-He's...french-canadian
-His least favourite color is yellow
-He has a cat named after a composer
-He's ditched many relgions
-He's a dorkwad
-I love him to death

I think that last one is the most honest. I love him. Not like "in love", but he's just one of my best friends. I feel like I can talk to him about anything, and just be my totally completely self. But he's so wonderful. He...I can't even explain it.

When I see him, I have a rush of serotonin. He's like the safe drug. I feel at peace when I'm with him. I just love him so much. I want to be able to show him how much I care. I want to be able to look him in the eyes, and say, "I love you."

Sadly, he doesn't like me. He said I'm one of his best friends, but that's it. I'm happy with that. Of course I'd MUCH RATHER (much much much rather) go out with him, but just being able to spend time with him is awesome. I can't describe it. And it doesn't stop. Not only does it grow, it matures. So they get deeper as they become stronger. It's wonderful to love someone that much. I'd do anything for him. Anything.

P.S. I'm also taking Aubrey's lead...bonus points if you can catch the title's reference

P.P.S HARRY POTTER AND THE DEALTHLY HALLOWS COMES OUT JULY 21ST 2007.

Other people vs. Me

Okay, for a long time, I've been having a dispute with a friend about my qualities. I've been saying the honest truth - I'm worthless. He's been trying to convince me that I'm pretty and smart - which are flat out lies. My eyes are boring and disgusting, my hair is messed up, I'm fat, so there are no physical features about me that I appreciate. And smart? Ha! He is a billion times smarter and I have no idea what he's trying to pull, "You're smart."
So, I've decided to name fifteen people I know, and things that they have that are awesome (physical or not). Why? It proves that I'm horrible compared to them:

Elaine: compassionate
Ian: in-depth knowledge on...everything
Olivia: adorable
Aubrey: knows a lot about music
Sarah: good at different types of things (writing, game programming, photography)
Kathryn: super artistic
Spencer: beautiful writer...and has pretty eyes
Michelle: caring
Rachel: wonderful string player
Maxine: makes everything perfect
Shereen: able to see both sides of everything
Lacey K: really good at physics
Nick B: outgoing
Lisette: beautiful eye color!!
Parents: hard-working

I told you so. And for every good quality in them, I bet you could find three bad qualities in me. I bet my life. You can disagree, but I hold my place.

I love you

...more than ice cream pie and rainy skies.
