take this, haters

whattt a day. what a weeeeek. i dont even know what to make of it. so, i'm just not going to think about it. i am soooo exhasted. confusion and frustration does that...

so i am still reading catcher in the rye. i decided there was no rush to finnish this time and i should just enjoy it and take it in.

"this fall i think youre riding for- it's a special kind of fall, a horrible kind. the man falling isnt permitted to feel or hear himself hit bottom. he just keeps falling and falling. the whole arrangement's designed for men who, at some time or other in their lives, were looking for something their own environment couldnt supply them with. or they thought their own environment couldnt supply them with. so they gave up looking. they gave up before they ever really started." 243-244

con-EFFING-fusion

i physically hurt. i feel like screaming profanities.

what would you do if you saw your future ending? haha. laugh? because you cant cry.

i gave my fatdog a bath. cause i didnt want to do anything else.

"i think i'll go home and mull this over before i cram it down my throat. at long last it's crashed, this colossal mass has broken up into bits in my moat... it's a luscious mix of words and tricks that let us bet when you know we should fold. on rocks i dreamt of where we'd stepped and all the whole mess of roads we're now on."

shiver; coldplay

so i look in your direction but you pay me no attention, do you? i know you don't listen to me cause you say you see straight through me, don't you? on and on from the moment i wake, to the moment i sleep i'll be there by your side; just you try and stop me. i'll be waiting in line, just to see if you care. oh…did you want me to change? well I'd change for good. and i want you to know that you'll always get your way, i wanted to say…don't you shiver. sing it loud and clear i'll always be waiting for you so you know how much i need you but you never even see me, do you?and is this my final chance of getting you and on and on from the moment i wake, to the moment i sleep i'll be there by your side; just you try and stop me. i'll be waiting in line, just to see if you care. Oh…Did you want me to change? well i'd change for good and i want you to know that you'll always get your way, i wanted to say…don't you shiver. don't you shiver. sing it loud and clear, i'll always be waiting for you. yeah i'll always be waiting for you. yeah i'll always be waiting for you. yeah i'll always be waiting for you, for you. i will always be waiting…and it's you i see but you don't see me and it's you i hear so loud and so clear. i sing it loud and clear. and i'll always be waiting for you, so i look in your direction but you pay me no attention. and you know how much i need you, but you never even see me.

help, i have done it again

uhhhh. where to begin? this is my last week in third semester. so i've been busy with exams. i have my last(major) exam/final tomorrow... and i havent studied. i never study. yeahhh, that's me. anyways. i get a week off school next week. and today i found out i'm going to utah. tuesday - friday. my grandfather is ill and doesnt have much time left, only a few weeks. i was reading catcher in the rye(again) today and holden says, "I guess it hasn't hit me yet. It takes things a while to hit me." and i couldnt help from... relating. stuff nevers "hits" me till it's too late. so guess i havent really processed anything recently. anyway, things are going to be fine...

this week has been weird. i know i'm quick to judge this week, considering it's only tuesday night, but things have not been/felt the same. emma spent the night last night and that was wonderful and we had a good time. but other then that things have been weird. maybe it's just because of school stress and not seeing brad as much. who knowssssss.

"it just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride. everything, everything it'll be just fine. hey, you know they're all the same. you know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in. live right now. yeah, just be yourself. it doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else."

"we accept the love we think we deserve"

i fell asleep with a dictionary under my pillow. no joke. it's a cute green one that i bought with emma at barns and noble. anyways. it made my headache worse. so in conclusion, check under your pillow for dictionaries.

life has been... uhhh, hmm. really, life is life and whatever happens happens. i know that doesnt make sense, but really, what makes life so good? it's different for everyone. for example, one thing that makes life good for someone could make life bad for another. so insted of just saying life is good, i think im going to start saying why life is good. haha. i'm in a peculiar mood. okay. my life is good because i am getting a week off of school soon. i went to church today. my bestfriend is back in town. my boyfriend is amazingly handsome(and more then that). my gas light hasnt come on yet. and i am choosing to be happy.

i finnished reading perks (again and again). and everytime i finnish it i feel as though i just read it for the first time. i rememeber reading it as a freshman, sitting in the grass at freestone park, with anaka. i was resting my head on my gray jansport backpack and anaka was writing. it felt wonderful and just thinking about it makes me want to cry. a storm came upon us out of nowhere and we huddled together, with our heads under our backpacks and the rain stinging our backs and thunder and lightning all around. anyways, i feel bad for going off on a tangent. my point is that everytime i read this book i cant help but wonder how many people have read it and felt the same emotions and had the same thoughts that i have.

"i guess we are who who we are for a lot of reasons. and maybe we'll never know most of them. but even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. we can still do things. and we can try to feel okay about them." 211
