Maybe from the title, you might think so. But that's not what I mean. What I mean is that-I've kind of lost my point in high school. I know I know what you might be thinking of. Just another lost teen in the crowd. Well anyways, I continue.
High school romances are so outdated. They're hidden and preserved safely behind Grease movie posters and sweet novels of love at first sight. Maybe, maybe not. But the romance now is not it at all: pushed and shoved to the craze of lust and parties. I remember the times when the first hear of curse words would get my attention of disgust. Well now, it seems I've come a long way down there. This is freshman year. Fresh-very fresh, in a way. I'm used to it now, but it was at first. I didn't like it. A lot of people like to swear to look like they're saying something important and small conversations run at a low, useless way of who's-dating-whos and who-hates-whos. I've never had a date, and I never had someone I hated except for very young, childhood days. But still, it didn't seem important.
Now maybe, from this, you can see my general person. I am, for sure, a innocence at heart. Do you call this youthful innocence? Or--maybe--that still yearning direction of doing things right since you were a kid. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not saying no one else does, for certain people do, but just that a group of people like to listen to their eyes more than they do themselves. For example, that silent Cameron guy that sits a table next to me and only talks when it's about stealing or humorous stories of ripping someone off of something important. I am not kidding. Never talk. I have tried, I still do. He still seems like a "right" person. The type of person that doesn't talk too much simply because and doesn't ask for help simply because. I appreciate them, I really do. I was like them, like that (and still, to a degree, am) and it's self-reflecting and personal. He just didn't seem like the kind of person that would jack cars or steal from stores. I can't understand that. But I guess I never will.
Well the whole point of this entry was because I'm lost now and not sure what to do or what place does this puzzle piece fall upon--drawing a blank in places for answers.

Not admitting that you fell for him
But he never loved you back.
Not admitting that you’re still falling,
But you like to see him lack.
See you,
See you there again.
Making time between and stalling.
Just wave goodbye,
And turn around,
And hope it’s true
That it’s not you.
Later for now,
Opening forever.
Sure she’s falling,
You’re both falling.
But then running from the door.
Can you say it was worth it,
Purging your heart tin
Inside and out, then
Looking and thoughts run,
Standing and watching,
Fumbling and tripping
Under the ceiling.
Nothing left:
The identity theft.
Small lost kiss,
From last year, you missed
And fell
From the sky,
His eyes passing by.
Looking back, then walk on,
Stupid, pathetic,
Growing long.

I can't believe it. When someone told me I was something I knew that I completely wasn't, it made me a little content, a little mad, a little confused. Not confused in that "who am I?" way. Just it was completely untrue. And I knew it, just wished everyone else did, maybe be easier for me. It's irritating how people don't know. Then again, a bit comforting, that I know what I know about me. And how I've progressed past the past. Not quite that ideal stereotype. And I like the way I know little secrets everyone else don't know or are too afraid to mention. Not like I don't know it is against the odds or controversial, just the pressure of the tensions just disappeared. Sometimes, it's like a switch I can turn on to pretend to be better, which doesn't hurt because it wasn't a fake pretend, completely truth. Anyways, it wasn't quite important, just a thought.
Oh and I got a job, a fast food-er, 11 to 4 weekends. 260 bucks a month with weekly salary (that's minuse tax.) Good deal indeed. :)

OVER IT I'm over it. For now I'm OVER IT. Stay happy. For now just stay happy. No more caring, no more concern. Leaving again. I'll still think about it, but even when I do it'd make no difference in my day. They are over it, then so should I. "Past the sign, all down the road."
Rips on the pages but even so I'll close the book. Don't let the sense of the environment affect me.

So I haven't been honest to myself. I haven't thought about it as far as I've always wanted to; always thinking that there was nothing left. It's hard to want to say it all, because I've never have. So, here it goes:
I feel very foolish whenever I think about it. Am I just lying to myself, do I even know if I'm lying. It's so stupid now, because I'm back to square one. New school, new grade, new people and morals. I've lost my glasses, hairstyle and old clothes, feeling more free and loose now that I deal with it like I want to. Now people look at me differently. I don't know if it's just me, but they do. It's almost uncomforting or flattering, but the whole moral of it's useless, meaningless. And that girl in my last class still hates me more, though I've never figured why. I never liked her plastic smile or way, it seemed fake and unreal, but she always seemed happy all the time, but I don't think that's true. She'd give me glances that are more frequent than one would want to with a more sad, angry expression than her usual. and my neighboring classmate would make funny faces at her for doing that.
Anyways, I'm still lost at the moment. There is this one person that I've never gotten around to thinking about. But I do, whenever that one song comes up in the day or I find myself somewhere more familiar than I want to be. It's a "mystery," and I hope that that wasn't the only thing that kept me clinging on to lost hope.
I'm reluctant to say, but I like him. I don't know why..but I do. And I'm pretty sure that he knows or at least that I know that he's suspecting something. Something like that. Now the whole thing seems decayed or forgotten, because he and I are continuing with different things, and now, it's like he is ignoring me. Seems almost weak, but he is. I love his hair, and that spin of controversial comments that he'd sometimes say. Whenever I see his eyes, they seem lost and curious, but always listening.
But the thing that hit me most, that one, stupid and painful thing was why, at the last day of the school year, he'd shown anything of an emotion and walk away. Just a little kiss, and walk away? Just always, walking away from me. I'm tired of it! I really am. Keep pushing me to the edge, it seems, just so it'd be easier for him. And I don't know how much he thinks he knows about this more than I do. I've tied myself onto something that's more terrified than me. When he left, he smiled, almost a mischeivous little smile that walked away with him.
After the summer, I saw him again. And I saw, he was terrified again. I came near, and all he could think to do was nothing, kept walking and talking around his circle of friends. It angered me, it made me mad.
So I left. Then I came back. Then, I left again. I walked home, even if I could have had a ride, and made a sole promise to try to never see him again in the way that I used to, because I was exhausted and drained from cleaning up the mess he made.

Here I am, all this time and no idea how to spend it. Well this marks something in my life bout how I am doing. I am working on a painting, it's coming out pretty good. I'm experimenting with a different style and state of mind in the art, and I like it. It's on the back of another painting, another painting that is completely different from the other side. That supposed to have a sort of meaning to it? I don't know, it's a bonus.
Trapped in this house, I'm going outside. Miscellaneous bike ride to somewhere and back. I went to downtown, and it's the great things that I've noticed. The small, scrabby shops lined side by side each other, and if you ever mind to go inside it's a different world from the main stream. Like you're back in the 80's or something. I've seen that used record and CD store that played jazz music with a foreign spin, and unfamiliar records of old and modern bands. The people that come look as if they come from a unique perspective. One of them wore a long, gray coat and a bowler hat, like he accompanied Sherlock Holmes, though he didn't mind, and that was comforting to know. If you know what I mean. There's a vintage t-shirt store next to it that smells kind of funny and is lined with a retro style. I don't know..I kind of like the old, forgotten taste of last century that so few are into. And when I step out of the shop I'm brought back to the new and fresh taste of today. Keep walking. I don't understand today's taste. I don't feel connected. And sometimes, what I say don't come in the right moment, even if it is what I think. Maybe uncomforting to them, but I can't help it, nor do I mind as much.
Best way to comprehend, I paint and draw. And when I'm done, I am kind of used to my creation so until I'm away it doesn't look all that different from everything else. I hear compliments of it but I'm not really on the right page as them. Guess that's the kind of face achievers have when they look at their success and show a sort of content look about it.
The best things I've heard so far are in movies, books and diaries. I don't hear it from anyone but outlets they create, which is kind of ridiculous, why won't anyone say these things when they have so much to say? Unless they are supposed to.

2 days ago..the all-around famous Homecoming. It wasn't quite a surprise to me (me--homecoming committee, student council) As for the decorations, nothing there (aall donations). But in the end, guess the decor wasn't quite the matter as the celebrations controlled by the DJ.
ALL HIP HOP. You know what that means, seems as if the only type of dancing they knew was dirty dancing. And even more obvious that the day was also drunken nights for the seniors and juniors. It wasn't a pretty site. It was fun, supposedly. Did I dance? A little. Most discouraging were my friends did not have the courage to, so I felt as if I could not. THAT DANCE brought about things I should have mentioned earlier.
I saw (let's just call him "he") him at the dance, and I felt as if I could read his emotions off his face. He was nervous, broken down. Passed by me more than enough times to suspect something.. I have never admitted I've seen him look at me from the corner of my eye and straight across. Just too strange. Why would anyone like me? Just some lucky fool I am, too adapted to feel any difference within me to focus on my deeds. He strikes me as an anonymous, someone that covers and hides, loss of confidence, I could be wrong. Him and his friends, never figured them out as I did everyone else. Again, the runs and covers. I can't figure that out quite yet.
Someone did ask me to dance, it was near the end though. A boy that striked small conversations with me out of nowhere and was always happy. He had come up from behind. "Hey," I said hi. "You wanna dance?" I felt afraid (or nervous) somehow, and my hand was in his, I don't remember how, if it was him or me. And the strangest thing, I do TEND to be afraid to say yes. That person was very nice and spirited, cute since the day I've met him, and he had an oddly content face when I turned to face him. No, I said "No, I can't dance." It's not that hard he said. "I have to leave anyhow." And though I didn't I had said it. Couldn't take it back, spilled out of my mouth though I knew I would regret it. I will tell him something tomorrow.
Pff I dont think it mattered to him. I then saw him dancing with another girl, a small friend of mine. Yeah Homecoming was a strange day, everyone (even the girlfriends and boyfriends) were dancing with other random people.
"Fun"
Though I've heard a girl crying in the bathroom because of a guy that's done that. Another girl that's said the same thing.

Today was alright, I liked today. It was just an average every day. No troubles, no worries. It was different. Except for the few every day kind of worries.
I really wish I could go up and slap him if I wouldn't regret it. An annoying little bug, that %$#@!! It's like gum you can't get off your fingers. And I think he's enjoying this torture. It's HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE! He is such so horrible! Even just in one of my classes I want to KILL HIM. I think he's actually found a strategy, an ANNOYING, unreal just-for-fun strategy. that IDIOT! ! ! Which is just the reason why I moved away from that new seating assignment, because I knew if it was that than every time in that class would be like THIS,..like last year. Ah!!! I scream inside. And I've told him before, I've insulted him and ignored him and still he is like this. I really need to slap it all in his face. &@#$@%!!!!!!!!!~!!!!!!!!!!
Boys, I honestly (honestly this time) think they are awful worries. And you can never be friends with any of them without one falling for another, because that's just how they are. And then the other that still just are a friend will also be the victim, which is NOT FAIR. Either: he/she will be annoying pest for the rest of eternity (blah) or the little guy, sad and heartbroken (another blah).
And what about that paper doll still hanging from strings. Well I can FINALLY say that I am over him. This isn't a movie where it comes back around and bites you from behind. It is real. And this is real, because I can seal this open road. It has taken me some TIME, but then again that is reassurance that it is real. Now, I cant even feel it anymore. And the other friend, I have lost interest in him too, all for the same reason. He still does, but I cannot try to make myself like him. It's just DRAGGED on for too long already, it was going to happen to one of us.
I don't think I can hold a relationship that isnt mentally strong. In fact I dont think I can hold any relationship. Somewhere in my mind I cant picture being the small girl in a boy's mind. As in the weaker than for him. I can wait, but it would not be alright in the end. At least for this year, I've lost the motivation. AND I THINK THAT'S A good thing.

And the Story Rolls On...
I'm not sure if I'll ever finish that story. I'm beginning to hate it. I do hate it. And it was of my childhood days. Not the dance, there wasn't one. And now here's another story that rolls on.
I know somehow, there is a bad result of that story that continues on to the next. I know it. I can say I changed. I felt as if I've been through enough and I've changed, and I fear the consequences of this new change. I would never say this. Not anywhere..but this is the one place, my writing.
Something brews in me everyday. Everyday, I haven't figured it out. It wasn't depression, I know well what that felt and it wasn't depression to which I knew no reason to. This I'm feeling a lock-down.
I can't say it completely or think it thoroughly. There is just something that I am still clinging onto but I know somehow that I shouldn't. It didn't seem like another person it was more of myself. But I can't figure it out. I am holding back, like somewhere in my mind I am holding back.
I'm growing weary and I snap back as if I hate. I don't think it's wrong that I feel that heartbreak is numb, and everyone's disgusted looks are really not at all, like I feed off their worries. It's a different sense, and I know I'm falling into it. I can tell that something is taking over, but I don't quite know what it is, just this addiction for it. And I keep using it again.
Somehow I think it's ridiculous that people think of a stranger's sympathy, a primary supreme being, defeat. I think small lost battles are nothing but a bothersome passing, and inside I laugh at those who think of it, who stop in their tracks and run back to think of it. It's silly if you ask me.
I am different. You can laugh at me for saying that sometimes I can't understand myself: the reasons. What are my reasons for doing this?? I can't stop.
It's hard, finding someone else that understands more than I do and complete me. I can tell I'm different, and it's hard to be sometimes, to relate to some of these people. Because most of them are fools, the games they play and the way they see. I like it best when they listen to the silence.
Some people can say, I like being alone. But I am not a loner, not at all. I just like it best with myself, but I don't avoid other people. They come and go, but I don't mind.
Perhaps I should mind? My philosophy, it is backwards to most others. It feels numb, when it's supposed to sting. Good or bad or in between.
There is this game that people play, like high school fame, popularity. But I don't feel like I'm in it. Much like a spectator, looking in. And I pity them, I really do. They don't see it as I see it, but for some people I know, it's a horrible game to be in. I'm feeling like I'm sitting in the stands, looking down at the playing ground as the people fall. I tried and help, but tried so much, that even when they understand my view they go back. Now, I've given up trying and as for them, I can't help anymore.
This isn't one of my best days. I like to lose these thoughts in different conversations, try and feel what they feel, not so complex. And for a very brief time, in the middle of the day, it hurts that I can't feel what they feel, simplicity. I don't know if this mind is one of a beautiful mind. I hope it's a phase, but it's gone on for so long, a few years,always sort of there every time.

Why was I here? I was confused, why was I here. I looked at the door, then I came back at the crowd. No, there was something here. I needed to know, something.
Time goes by so slowly when you are watching it. I was waiting. How stupid! How stupid I looked, sitting there alone. I got out of that dance. I wanted to run, but I just kept walking. It goes by sometimes that I don't say a word the whole day and get away with it. People still asked me why, and it pained me so much. I couldn't give a right answer. Or even that I dont want to know.
I went outside and the one thing I couldn't figure was if I was to run so fast home or walk slowly. What was there to look forward to. "It sucks at home and it sucks at school!" I did that every so often, most of the time I didnt mean to. I couldnt figure if I said it aloud or in my head. I truly could not. I really dont think I did anything wrong. I tried to see just for reason, and there was nothing there.
So it's been so many years that Ive gone on like this. Years! Its been like this for years! Why! Just what was so wrong with me that people dont want to deal with! I have not done anything, but still they look at me, so disgusted as if Ive done something wrong. It wont go away. I look at them, trying to find something that I can relate to. Or, at least RESEMBLE it.
I think I am behind the times. I am still lagging behind. My best and worst times, I am by myself. I was just by accident. Somebody picked me for this,and I bear it in me.
Sometimes I am being used. So what? What is so bothering about that. You look at me and see this, but I dont think so. She is a comforting person to be with. And everyday, I bring something for her, something to please her. She is my friend. It's at least that that I like about her. When she asks me question, questions I don't want to answer. I really just dont know if I was to smile or cry. So I laughed and hope it had no meaning to that laugh. If I could trust my own replies.
And other times, she would turn on me and act against me, like everything Ive done was wrong. So has two sides, but her other side is always the best. And that is what I like about her. I dont think this is wrong, so dont tell me it is. I dont have any concern for that. Theres just not enough room for that...

Strange Truths that No One Will Believe |

There was a flaw to every eye and face she saw. There are no restraints, but there are them now. Because of these expecting eyes, sheˇ¦s feeling so condemned. Just one real person, one real person to which she saw, but she was feeling so scared of the consequences of this. Feeling so scared sheˇ¦ll be too loud, of all the things she could have feared.
Spinning around in all the commotion, reminiscing all the twisted and ruined senses of this one time that never leaves.

Free Hit Counter
...We grew up way too fast, now thereˇ¦s nothing to believe. And reruns all become our history... Goo Goo Dolls Friends and Passerbys

Sum 41 Were All To Blame


Train...with Drops Of Jupiter in her hair..
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's time to change,
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June,
Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation,
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there's room to grow,
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way
