Goals

Hi Everyone!

I’m currently listening to Come Round Soon by Sara Bareilles.

I am making a commitment today. I am going to lose 30 pounds by Christmas. It is a reachable goal. That would entail me losing 30 pounds in 86 days. That is sooo totally do-able and completely healthy. I needed a big incentive and I think I have found it. I am going to use this as a check for myself.

I used to drink around 80 ounces of water each day and now I get about 20 ounces. I need to up that again. I also need to cut out my sweets intake. I have gotten quite bad since my vacation over the summer. I had a bowl of ice cream yesterday. I am also going back to working out three times a week. *shudder* I am also going to start eating Lean Cuisines again, and ONLY Lean Cuisines. After Christmas I will set another goal. My overall goal is 65 pounds. I am thinking that I can achieve this by June no problem, which is my definite desired end date.

I can do it.

Hi Everyone!

I'm currently listening to How Did I Fall in Love with You by the Backstreet Boys.

So... Stone's a hottie. I'm mad at Manhattan. Twin is gorgeous. Noodles is very funny. Ginger is quite possibly the coolest geek nerd teacher EVER. River's classes are the best. This is a short post.

Hmmmm, soooo today...

Hi Everyone!

I'm currently listening to Stranger by Secondhand Serenade.

I slept today. It was the most beautiful day I have ever had. I know that since I bummed around I should go out and do some weeding, clean my house, clean out my car, or get something done. However I have no desire to do any of those things.

I have a desire for everyday of my life to be just like this one. This beautiful peaceful day.

I wonder if I will actually accomplish anything today. =)

I don't mind if I don't.

Ginger with some WAS-AAAAA-BEEEEEEE!

Hi Everyone!

I'm currently listening to Gone Forever by Three Days Grace.

Instead of lamenting about my sucky life right now, I am going to talk about something I think is really cool. So, Friday I went to talk to Ginger after class. Considering we both have a free period it works out really nicely. I wanted to take the time to tell him that I really enjoy his class and the material that we are covering.

So I tell him this and how excited I am about the class. He goes on to tell me how flattered he is and how sorry he is to ME. I was so surprised. He said that he felt bad because he knows that the class is rude and disrespectful. He was telling me that I was one of two students who he feels are taking the class for the right reasons. (The rest are taking it as a blowoff) I thought the whole conversation we had was really cool.

I thought it was nice to see a teacher coming to realize how he needs to control a class. So many teachers these days just let kids get away with way too much.

Here's the thing...

Hi Everyone!

I'm currently listening to Samson by Regina Spektor.

Okay, so my dear dear friend Twin is so beautiful. I am going to praise her endlessly here. She is gorgeous. It is an awkward thing to say to someone, I hope you realize this. It is weird to go up to someone and tell them they are actually breathtakingly beautiful. You can tell someone they look good that day or you like a certain feature about them, but telling them they are always so beautiful, that is awkward.

She is though. I know that, like every girl, she has her insecurities. More than she, or any girl, wants to admit she has. Or perhaps, she does admit them to true friends, for I know she has expressed some to me. I had told her that I know where she is coming from at one point and she pointed out the amount of boyfriends I have had. I then started to wonder if I truly did understand her.

I think that at a certain level I do, and at a certain level I don't. I know what it is like to wonder why every other girl, girls who are no doubt uglier or fatter or less intelligent, has a boyfriend and yet I am sitting here alone on this night alone.

I have gone father to look for a boyfriend than she has though. I know that for a fact. My insecurities led me into bad relationships. Perhaps she is doing it right. However, she deserves more than she thinks.

I wonder if my friends think the same thing. I wonder if they think I deserve as much as I think Twin does. I think she deserves the smartest, cutest, funniest, and most understanding guy. I might get a little jealous, but let's put a qualifier that says he has to have a TWIN brother, hahahaha. That way I get one too!

Anyways, I know you read my blog Twin, and I want you to know that these words are all true and they are strange to say in person, they fumble and tumble, never coming out quite like this.

Stony Hearts.

Hey Everyone!

I'm Currently listening to Bleed it Out by Linkin Park.

Okay. So, as the title indicates I am going to talk about Stone. I know I have been talking about him lately and that makes me a little nervous. I mean, I think I am getting more attached to all of this. I don't even know what this is, but I am getting attached.

I find myself joking around with him more and more. I find myself smiling. I feel tingly when I'm around him. I find myself wanting to memorize every part of him. I want to commit him to memory. You may ask yourself why, well I have figured out why.

BECAUSE I KNOW THIS WILL ALL END! I have never felt this way before and had it end up well. Here's the thing, I like Taco Bell. I like reading. I like writing. I like to sing obnoxiously. I like to just chill and have fun.

He doesn't.

Now, maybe I am judging before I truly know, but oh well. I am. What are you going to do about it? Hmmm? That's right... NOTHING! Mwhahahaha.

Oh my.

With a Joker smile and a sincere heart

Hi Everyone!

I'm currently listening to Your Call by Secondhand Serenade.

Alright. Let me talk to you for a moment about my love. No, not stone... I don't love stone. I may be in... well, let's leave that for later... I love Taco Bell. I figure it's okay to mention the actual name because they are EVERYWHERE!

So, the Taco Bell nearest to me is always filled with high school kids. Which is pretty cool when you think about it because you always run into someone when you are in there. Whether you like them or not is a completely different story though.

After a recent weekly sporting event, Manhattan and I went to Taco Bell as a "hey I'm hungry and it's cheap and we're teens and therefore love cheap" place. It was great so we've been going there after each of the weekly sporting events. I have to admit that I love it. I don't know that it's so much the food or anything (although the food is delicious) (I have yet to find something I dislike there...) but the fact that I am hanging out with her. It has turned into a community environment. Which sounds even more strange than anything else. However, it is true.

Just thought I would share that with you all. I will be writing frequently now until Tues.

Whoa, Judge much?

Hi Everyone!

I'm currently listening to Secret Crowds by Angels and Airwaves.

Okay, a three things to talk about, Stone (of course), Manhattan, and Puck.

Let's start out with the easy (?) stuff first, Stone. So, the past couple of times that I have had to work in groups in the class that Stone is in, he has worked with me. Or when one day when we were a different room and a group of his friends (he knows them and talks to them and they do a certain extra curricular activity with him, I don't know if they are great friends, but friends yes...) were sitting on the other side of the room than me, there was two open chairs by them and one by me, and he sat by ME!!! Then he always is my partner. I don't know if that is because I sit behind him and it is a convenience thing, or if he likes working with me.

Here's my thought, if he didn't like working with me, he could work with someone else close to him, RIGHT???!!!????!!?!!?? AHHGGGRRRHHHH. I am not reading into anything. Mostly because I know nothing will ever come of this. I need to keep telling myself this, because I have been devastated before, just because my feelings get involved in stupid things. Things that will never work out. Why oh why am I so cursed with these feelings?

I find myself thinking about him though. It scares me. Really scares me.

Okay, change of subject. How about another boy? Okay, so Puck and I sit next to each other (in a different class) and (Noodles' class) Noodles thinks that I like him. I would definitely date him because he is really funny and sweet, and all that jazz. How can I have these two feelings? Although I will say, I think about Puck when I am around Puck. When I am not around anyone, I think about Stone.

Noodles is so great though. I hope to do some travelling with her over the summer. She is the BEST teacher I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. She is a great person too.

Okay, now the big stuff... Manhattan. Manhattan and I have been doing great. She is definitely a big part of my life. I was talking to Noodles this morning about thinking of going to a two year college then transferring. I have many reasons for considering this. However, there is a certain expectation from people around me that I will go to a four year school. There is a certain stigma that going to a two year college gets. Which is sort of funny because one of the smartest economic decisions that you can make is to go to a two year college and transfer. ANYWAYS, I have many reasons for considering this, not to mention my two other best friends, also two of the smartest people I know, are going to a two year school first.

So back to the story, I was telling Noodles all of this and talking to her about it because I really wanted to get an outsider's opinion on it all. Well, about twenty minutes later Manhattan comes in and we were talking about something else. However, Manhattan asked about one of my friends and why I was seeing her because she is supposed to be at college. Noodles informed Manhattan that my friend had decided that the four year college that she was planning on going to didn't fit so (before she even started) she decided to go to a local two year school.

Manhattan went off, saying how she thought that my friend was smart so why was she at that two year school, and how her parents would kill her if she even thought the name of the school. I wanted to yell at her. I mean, yeah, some people go there because they can't get in other places, but hey, they are at least going to school. It's not only there for that purpose though. Noodles was shocked at how judgemental Manhattan was about it. Noodles didn't say anything about the conversation we just had, and neither did I. It was just really sucky.

On this day...

Hi Everyone.

I'm currently listening to Better in Time by Leona Lewis.

Today is September 11th, 2008. Seven years ago, tragedy struck the nation. Thousands of people died, but millions were effected. Our country shook, but stayed standing. I am proud to call myself an American. I thank everyone who sent money to 9/11 charities. I thank, most of all, the brave men and women who helped New York heal.

And guess what?!?

Hi Everyone!

I'm currently listening to So What by P!nk.

Well, what has been monopolizing most of my posts these past couple of times? That's just, Stone. It's funny because after my last boyfriend I was completely fine with just being by myself and not liking anyone. These feelings are so intense. They can't be categorized as anything other than lust... can they?

I would have never expected to fall in lust, or like, or whatever with Stone. But I guess the old adage, you can't chose who you love, is right. Although I am not in love. Let's just get that straight. I went out with Mediterranean today and I was telling her about it. She knows him so she could at least put a face with the name. I told her that I didn't expect anything to come of it then said I didn't want anything to come of it. She looked at me, I laughed, of course I want something to come out of it. That's what the humdinger is, no matter how much I know that nothing will come of it, I still want something to come of it.

Dang teenage hormones.

I was thinking about the future and life and the likes. I want to be in love. I sort of always pushed the notion aside and promised myself that love would never come into consideration in my life. Love makes you silly and do rash and stupid things. Perhaps though love isn't as bad as I once thought.

However, Puck is still in the picture. He is so sweet and who knows what goes on in his head. He is super smart and hell-a hilarious. I love being around him because he is so funny. However, I hear that he is like my ex, great friend and horrible boyfriend. I would be silly to involve myself in the same situation again. So, two boys, no choices. =)

Well, that's life, right?

Life is a funny thing

Hi Everyone!

I'm currently listening to Disturbia by Rihanna.

So, now to harp on something, but... Stone. It's funny, because Twin and I were talking about him a little today. I have so far only told Manhattan and Twin. I am too protective about this feeling. You may ask why I would be so secretive. Well, I don't go running around telling people things, I am very protective about who I tell what. Probably why I am so careful on this blog. ANYWAYS!

I want to talk about my feelings. They are so strange. I have never had these thoughts before. Okay, adult content coming up, so if you are easily offended, don't read this post. Or go ahead, I really don't care... So, I am in LUST. It is so freaky because while yeah, I have thought inappropriate thoughts before, I have never thought the thoughts I think. Sweat usually makes me queasy. I don't like people sweating around me, it sort of is creepy. However, I saw Stone sweating and all I could think was to be all up on his sweaty self. Creepy of me. Totally not normal. I am freaking myself out.

Most of all I am scared because he seems to be nice and have a tolerance for me so I would hate to ruin it by saying or doing something stupid. AHHHH! So crazy. Not to mention, I am not stupid. Stone would be repulsed by me having these thoughts. I can't help it though. I want to cry because I can't control it. The thoughts are just there.

Strong Feelings.

Hi Everyone!

I’m currently listening to Relax (Take it Easy) by Mika.

So this is going to be a bit of a departure from my norm. Maybe not. Who knows what my norm really is. Perhaps my norm is a cynical animal shelter worker psycho vegan who hates ants. Perhaps not. I’m going with not. Although none of those things are bad. ANYWAYS! Back to my original point, if I ever had one…

What makes our bodies react in the ways they do? I had always thought I would never be attracted to a certain type of person. Stone is breaking down all of my barriers in a way I never thought possible. I’ll be honest with you, because I can’t be this honest anywhere else. I want him. I want him in every way a girl can want a guy. I want all his attention to be on ME, all of his body to be MINE, all of his thoughts to be about ME, to have his body yearn for ME. That sounds selfish and clingy. I hate those characteristics. With a passion. However, nothing can change the way we feel.

I dislike the way I feel. I have thoughts that consume my mind and I can’t get rid of. I find myself trying to make him smile, because that smile makes me melt. However, in less than forty weeks I will probably never see him again, except for high school reunions. How depressing. He doesn’t move in remotely the same circles as I do. How very very depressing.

No matter how I spin it though, I will be sad when he is not there. I don’t know why. It is one of those unexplainable feelings. Oh how I hate those unexplainable feelings.

He is very easy to look at though, and look at I shall. And it seems that I will be condemned to only look at.

Senior!!!

Hi Everyone!

I'm currently listening to Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Alrighty, well as you all know I am a senior. I have developed this schoolgirl crush on a boy in one of my classes. Actually two boys, in two separate classes. However one of them is so completely wrong for me. Not in the sense that he is a bad person, as far as I know he isn't into drugs or anything bad. He actually is quite smart and very funny. I am naming him Stone. But the whole thing really is a schoolgirl crush. I feel so silly. I mean, if this was going to happen why now? Why not when I was a younger?

I stumbled across a quote though. I thought it was so spot on. It is about trying to get a woman. "Tell the smart ones they're pretty and the pretty ones they're smart". I was thinking about it and it is so true. How sad is that? I don't know... I mean, I know that I'm the same way, but I just think it is incredible saddening.

My spirals

Hi Everyone!

I’m currently listening to This is Why I’m Hot by Mims.

My life has been a spiraling craze since school started. As much as I want to write here every night it seems more and more impossible as the days go on. I didn’t even do my August 50, sorry to those of you who might have been looking for it. I am going to try and put out two in September, but who knows, it is quite time consuming.

College is looming on the horizons, coming closer and closer, mostly just freaking me out. I need to ask my teachers for recommendations and find out all the necessary information. Most importantly though is sleep.

I have not been getting a lot of sleep lately. Quite frankly, it is affecting me. I hate it. So I go to bed earlier and earlier. At least I try to.

=O (yawning)
