Je regrette
Hi Everyone!
I’m currently watching The Dark Knight.
Okay, it’s been a while. Wow, a long while since I’ve actually talked. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately. About life, about love, about friends. This thinking hasn’t been done alone either, I’ve talked about it with other people too. I talked about it with Cabbage, who I love. He is such a great guy. I miss him a lot. He makes me laugh all the time, but we can still hold actual conversations too. I’ve talked a bit about it with Mediterranean too. I would have talked about it with Twin, but she has been in a different state and those kinds of conversations are best left to be had in person.
So, you may ask yourself what I have come up with. What exactly are my thoughts of love and life? Well, who knows all the details, not me. I don’t pretend to. However, I think I have hammered down some of the more major points though. I think that dating is almost silly unless you think that the other person could be your life partner. I mean, that’s all dating really is, trial runs until you figure out if the person is the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. All other “dates” are silly. Now, I’m an advocate of silly, but don’t label it as dating if it won’t develop into something serious. Label it as what it is, friends with benefits. Now now now, don’t go jumping down my throat, I know you can’t tell as soon as you start dating someone whether or not they are that special person, but once you do know, what do you do then?
That’s what I’ve been thinking about the past couple of days.

Hmmmm, no countdown, but there are the thoughts
Hi Everyone.
I'm currently listening to Candy Shop by 50 Cent.
So, stuff has happened. I know Twin is not an advocate. However, I'm having bunches of fun. I know that more fun will soon be had. Which is what my title is about.
My thoughts have been wandering today. I can almost still feel it.
Blissful.
Weird, I know.
Platinum and Mediterranean seem to be for it. Platinum is very excited for me.
I bought something today. I almost feel weird about it. It makes me feel like a little kid because it'll be a completely new experience. I mean, not completely new, but I've never used one. Neither has he...
I've reverted. Not in the way any of you will think.
I like it.

Something I wrote a while back and never posted
Hi everyone!
I’m currently listening to Mannequin by Katy Perry.
I’m so sorry, I haven’t been here in a while. Actually, it’s been quite a while. I have a couple of things to talk about. First, I want to talk about my brilliant friends. I am officially 18 (wooh, legal!). I had Platinum, Twin, Mediterranean, and Manhattan over for a little celebration. I hate to use the word birthday party because that has so many immature connotations in my mind. However, that’s pretty much what it was. Platinum, Twin, Mediterranean, and I went to a store and got a very interesting (and informative) lesson about some *cough cough* items. It was so much fun overall, and I know what I’m getting Twin for Xmas. Hehehehe, she probably thinks I’m kidding… *laughs manically*. The reason that Manhattan didn’t come with us is because she is not 18 yet, so it would have been a no go for her. But she said she would meet us for dinner. So I called her twice and texted her, but I get no answer. I am upset, but I push it aside because it was my night and I wasn’t going to let her ruin it. We went to dinner and had SUCH a great time. It was really fun and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Well as soon as the bill comes for dinner she texts me and asks if I had gotten any of her texts. I just rolled my eyes, I didn’t, but honestly I don’t think she texted me. I was receiving all my other texts and sending them and THAT one asking if I had gotten her previous ‘texts’ magically got through. Sorry, I don’t believe it. Not to mention she knew the time schedule I was working on, when 5 o’clock rolled around she should have called if I hadn’t texted her. Blah, it’s all such bullshit. She said that she had a problem with stuff and couldn’t leave her house, like I said before though, I wasn’t going to let her ruin my night. So I didn’t. We went back to my house, played a game, opened presents, and had a great time. She ended up showing up but the dynamics of the group were weird with her there. I noticed it. After to talking to my friends separately they all expressed that they were upset with her because she treated me like shit and was very nonchalant about it. She didn’t seem very into the night either. To be honest I think I would have had a better time if she didn’t show up at all. BUT, I had an amazing time because I was with my best friends and that’s what matters. Mediterranean left first, then Manhattan, but Platinum stayed for a long time. It was really great because the dynamics between Platinum and Twin were really great. It was a great couple hours with just the three of us. I know that Twin and Mediterranean both read this so I just wanted you two to know that I love you both to death and know that you guys could have done anything with your night so I am really happy that you chose to spend it with me. I had an amazing time and you are the reason for it. *hugs* I love you both!

Everybody Have Fun...
Hi Everyone!
I'm currently listening to I'm not that Girl from the musical Wicked.
So, my 18th birthday is coming up really soon. I am very excited about it. There is a local 18+ store, a bit on the naughty side if you know what I mean, and my friends and I are going there. It will be Twin, Mediterranean, Platinum (another really close friend of mine), and Manhattan. The only thing is that Manhattan is not 18. So I feel sort of bad because she isn't going to be able to come to that part of the celebration. When I brought it up to her she said that it was better because she thinks it's stupid and she wouldn't want to be seen there. I mean, to each their own, but that sort of hurt. I mean, we are going there to have a good laugh, nothing weird.
Oh, but afterwards I am going to a semi-local video store that has a 18+ section and we are getting some "sensitive materials". I am looking forward to it. I think it will be really funny and I think it'll be a good time overall.
Enough about that. I know that I haven't written about my 'book' in a while. I have started working on it again. Twin is a writer as well and she was talking to me about writing some stuff out of order and since I don't know how to connect the part I'm on now with where I want it to go, I am writing the future scene and going back to connect later. I hope all works out. I am having Twin read part of it tomorrow. I am really nervous because she will be the first person to read it. AHHHH! So, yeah, that's my life.
Oh, wait, River and Ginger are amazing. I'll tackle them one at a time. (Oh and I need to talk about Noodles too!) So River is amazingly funny. I feel like he is one of the most brilliant men I have ever met. He seems to have a neverending wealth of knowledge. I find myself wanting to talk to him all the time because I feel like he inspires me not only to be a better student but also to incorporate my intelligence into everyday conversations. However I feel like a fool because I feel like there is always something I say that makes me feel like an idiot.
Ginger has been having a hard time with our class. It's not his fault, the class is out of control. He is really doing his best and he is an amazing teacher. (oh, and not that I was looking but he has a really great butt as well) He is moving seats tomorrow and I have a thing about sitting in the front of the classroom so I waited after class to talk to him. He seemed so dejected, it broke my heart. I asked him to try and take into consideration that I like sitting in the front and he said that he could do that. He then proceeded to tell me how much he appreciates me in that class. I thought it was really sweet because it's stuff like that keeps me behaving. He's a great guy and I feel bad that the class is so awful.
Okay, now, since I was just talking about moving seats... Noodles moved our seats and so now I'm not sitting next to Puck anymore! I'm definitely sad. Puck and I talked and he is sooo sweet. Now I won't be able to talk to him as much... =( Silly Noodles...

Hi Everyone!
I'm currently listening to Whisper by the Ying Yang Twins.
Okay, so Flash and I are getting close. I am not interested in being his girlfriend or anything. We are just having a fun time getting to know each other better. However, Twin is disappointed in him and me. I don't really know what I feel. I know I feel good, but I can't put words to it...
I need to talk to Mediterranean. I don't see her until Friday though and I REFUSE to talk about it over texts or over the phone.
Stone is a hottie. Hmmm, nothing else to report.

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?

Reading
Hi Everyone!
I'm currently listening to These Walls by Teddy Geiger.
For my AP English IV class next year I have 20 books to choose 4 of which I will read. I have already eliminated the Dickens and Shakespeare which leaves me with 17 books to choose from. I am going to sort of talk through each one here. Give me your opinions too!
Bronte, Jane Eyre-
I can buy it for $4.95. It's 558 pages. "Jane Eyre is an extraordinary coming-of-age story featuring one of the most independent and strong-willed female protagonists in all of literature. Poor and plain, Jane Eyre begins life as a lonely orphan in the household of her hateful aunt. Despite the oppression sheendures at home, and the later torture of boarding school, Jane manages to emerge with her spirit and integrity unbroken. She becomes a governess at Thornfield Hall, where she finds herself falling in love with her employer—the dark, impassioned Mr. Rochester. But an explosive secret tears apart their relationship, forcing Jane to face poverty and isolation once again." (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Jane-Eyre/Charlotte-Bronte/e/9781593080075/?itm=1)
Sounds interesting enough. The price is enticing but the page length can be a bit foreboding.
Chopin, The Awakening-
I can buy it for $4.50. It's 190 pages. "An American classic of sexual expression that paved the way for the modern novel, The Awakening is both a remarkable novel in its own right and a startling reminder of how far women in this century have come. The story of a married woman who pursues love outside a stuffy, middle-class marriage, the novel portrays the mind of a woman seeking fulfillment of her essential nature." (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Awakening/Kate-Chopin/e/9780380002450/?itm=1)
The price and length both attract me. However I don't know if the writing style is one that will captivate me. Anyone read this??? Opinions???
Conrad, Heart of Darkness-
I can buy it for 3.95. It is 102 pages. "Horror awaits Marlow, a seaman assigned by an ivory company to retrieve a cargo boat and one of its employees, Mr. Kurtz who is stranded in the heart of the Africa, deep in the Belgian Congo. Marlow's journey up the brooding dark river soon becomes a struggle to maintain his own sanity as he witnesses the brutalization of the natives by white traders and discovers the enigmatic Mr. Kurtz. Kurtz, once a genius and the company's most successful representative, has become a savage. His compound is decorated by a row of human heads mounted on spears. The demonic mastermind, liberated from the conventions of European culture, has traded his soul to become ruler of his own horrific dominion. " (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Heart-of-Darkness/Joseph-Conrad/e/9780979660733/?itm=2)
The first part of it sounds boring but the heads on stakes part is a bit intriguing. The price and length are once again very nice numbers. This might be a good possibility if someone tells me that this is an enjoyable read...
Dostoevski, Crime and Punishment-
I can buy it for $3.50. It has 480 pages. "The poverty-stricken Raskolnikov, a talented student, devises a theory about extraordinary men being above the law, since in their brilliance they think “new thoughts” and so contribute to society. He then sets out to prove his theory by murdering a vile, cynical old pawnbroker and her sister. The act brings Raskolnikov into contact with his own buried conscience and with two characters — the deeply religious Sonia, who has endured great suffering, and Porfiry, the intelligent and discerning official who is charged with investigating the murder — both of whom compel Raskolnikov to feel the split in his nature. Dostoevsky provides readers with a suspenseful, penetrating psychological analysis that goes beyond the crime — which in the course of the novel demands drastic punishment — to reveal something about the human condition: The more we intellectualize, the more imprisoned we become." (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Crime-and-Punishment/Fyodor-Dostoevsky/e/9780486415871/?itm=3)
While this sounds like an amazingly good read, I don't think it will be able to hold my attention... Anyone care to dispute?
Ellison, Invisible Man-
I already have it thanks to Mediterranean. It is 608 pages. "The nameless narrator of the novel describes growing up in a black community in the South, attending a Negro college from which he is expelled, moving to New York and becoming the chief spokesman of the Harlem branch of "the Brotherhood", and retreating amid violence and confusion to the basement lair of the Invisible Man he imagines himself to be." (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Invisible-Man/Ralph-Ellison/e/9780679732761/?itm=4)
The fact that I already have it and it is annotated makes me want to read it... Mediterranean, what do you think?
Euripides, Medea-
I can get it for $4.99. It has pages 56. "Medea has been abandoned by her husband. Jason, for whom she has sacrificed so much, has left her and their two children for a younger woman. Strong-willed and fiercely intelligent, Medea turns her formidable energies to exacting the most horrifying revenge possible on those who have injured her. " (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Medea/Euripides/e/9781599869117/?itm=4#TOC)
Sounds very good. I think that this is on my list.
Faulkner, Sound and the Fury-
I can get it for 11.95. It has 448 pages. "The Sound and the Fury is made up of undifferentiated streams of consciousness that ultimately turn out to be the inner voices of a family's siblings. Its construction is so masterful that the last sentence refers the reader back to the first one, as any perfect work of art might do. Sound has the earmarks of a modern psychological study, although the book was published in 1929. It is a dramatic and harrowing tale of the Compson family's pathology—primarily in the form of incest and incestuous thoughts." (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-Sound-and-the-Fury/William-Faulkner/e/9780393964813/?itm=7)
Sounds really good, but I think I would rather just read it for my own pleasure and get it from the library than read it for school...
Gardner, Grendel-
I can buy it for $11.95. It has 192 pages. "The first and most terrifying monster in English literature, from the great early epic BEOWULF, tells his side of the story. " (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Grendel/John-Champlin-Gardner/e/9780679723110/?itm=4)
Ummm, I think I would need to read Beowolf... right???
Heller, Catch-22-
I can buy it for $16.00. It has 464 pages. "Arguably the best novel to come out of World War II, in which Heller strips away the veneer of martial glory to expose its insanity, and gives our language a new paradoxical phrase to describe mankind at the mercy of its own institutions." (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Catch-22/Joseph-Heller/e/9780684833392/?itm=15)
I don't think this is my type of book...
James, Turn of the Screw-
I can buy it for 3.99. It has 160 pages. "Gripping ghost story by great novelist depicts the sinister transformation of 2 innocent children into flagrant liars and hypocrites. An elegantly told tale of unspoken horror and psychological terror." (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Turn-of-the-Screw/Henry-James/e/9780812533415/?itm=1)
I have wanted to read this since it was featured in LOST, maybe this is my chance. It sounds good and is a reasonable price too!
Kesey, One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest-
I can buy it for $9.99. It has 336 pages. "unforgettable story of a mental ward and its inhabitants, especially the tyrannical Big Nurse Ratched and Randle Patrick McMurphy, the brawling, fun-loving new inmate who resolves to oppose her. We see the struggle through the eyes of Chief Bromden, the seemingly mute half-Indian patient who witnesses and understands McMurphy's heroic attempt to do battle with the powers that keep them all imprisoned." (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/One-Flew-over-the-Cuckoos-Nest/Ken-Kesey/e/9780451163967/?itm=9)
Sounds interesting but I don't know if it one of those books that I will hate because I HAVE to read it so I should just put it off until I have some spare time...
McCullers, Ballad of the Sad Cafe-
I can buy it for $7.95. It has 160 pages. "A haunting tale of a human triangle that culminates in an astonishing brawl, the novella introduces readers to Miss Amelia, a formidable southern woman whose café serves as the town's gathering place. Among other fine works, the collection also includes "Wunderkind," McCullers's first published story written when she was only seventeen about a musical prodigy who suddenly realizes she will not go on to become a great pianist." (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-Ballad-of-the-Sad-Cafe/Carson-McCullers/e/9780618565863/?itm=2)
One of the reviews said it was dreary and hard to get through at some places...
Momaday, House Made of Dawn-
I can buy it for $13.00. It has 208 pages. "tells the story of a young American Indian named Abel, home from a foreign war and caught between two worlds: one his father's, wedding him to the rhythm of the seasons and the harsh beauty of the land; the other of industrial America, a goading him into a compulsive cycle of dissipation and disgust." (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/House-Made-of-Dawn/N-Scott-Momaday/e/9780060931940/?itm=4)
I can pretty much tell you I'm not reading this...
Morisson, Beloved-
I can buy it for 13.95. It has 322 pages. "Sethe, its protagonist, was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years later she is still not free. She has too many memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened. And Sethe’s new home is haunted by the ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved." (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Beloved/Toni-Morrison/e/9781400033416/?itm=1)
No. I don't think so...
Salinger, Catcher in the Rye-
I can buy it for $6.99. It has 224 pages. "Salinger's classic coming-of-age story portrays one young man's funny and poignant experiences with life, love, and sex." (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Catcher-in-the-Rye/J-D-Salinger/e/9780316769488/?itm=6)
I so badly have wanted to read this for a long time. I have heard great things. I definitely think this is on my list.
Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas-
I can buy it for $13.95. It has 204 pages. "savagely comic account of what happened to this country in the 1960s. It is told through the writer's account of an assignment he undertook with his attorney to visit Las Vegas and 'check it out.' The book stands as the final word on the highs and lows of that decade, one of the defining works of our time, and a stylistic and journalistic tour de force" (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Fear-and-Loathing-in-Las-Vegas/Hunter-S-Thompson/e/9780679785897/?itm=1)
mehh...
Williams, Streetcar Named Desire-
I can buy it for 7.50. It has 142 pages. "The play reveals to the very depths the character of Blanche du Bois, a woman whose life has been undermined by her romantic illusions, which lead her to reject—so far as possible—the realities of life with which she is faced and which she consistently ignores. The pressure brought to bear upon her by her sister, with whom she goes to live in New Orleans, intensified by the earthy and extremely "normal" young husband of the latter, leads to a revelation of her tragic self-delusion and, in the end, to madness." (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/A-Streetcar-Named-Desire/Tennessee-Williams/e/9780451167781/?itm=7)

With Love and Heartache
Hi Everyone!
I'm currently listening to Won't Go Home Without You on by Maroon 5
This weekend has been jammed packed with me and I can't seem to think straight. I had work on Friday, with Cabbage. It was nice to see him and talk. One plus about him is that if I'm down he'll try and cheer me up. He always does a great job too. It's just nice to know that people truly care.
After work though I had to go workout. I was really excited to go see my personal trainer. I hadn't seen her in a while because I had babysat the previous Friday and the Friday before that she had cancelled. So for me it was a long time. My mom and I get in there and start on our cardio. At six my mom goes up to the trainers' desk and asks where our trainer is. The trainer who was sitting there told us that she had quit and we were going to be working out with someone else. I was PISSED. I couldn't believe that no one had called us and told us that she was gone. They just scheduled us with this random other trainer. We were also quite upset because we just bought a new package from our personal trainer. In which we dropped quite a load of money. We would have never done that if we had known that she was going to quit. That's besides the point though. I'm just really sad that she isn't going to be there anymore. I actually cried on the way home. Balled my eyes out. = ( We'll see how this new trainer works out...
That was Friday. I slept for fifteen hours Friday night. It was much needed and felt GREAT! Saturday was work and boring night. Truly nothing really exciting went on in my life. Well, something did, but nothing that I feel like hashing over here.
Sunday (today) is when the fun happened. I went to Mediterranean's Graduation party. I had a blast. I was playing a game with a couple of friends and let something slip that I didn't mean to. I usually don't admit to a couple of mistakes that happened my freshmen year. I wasn't thinking and mindlessly admitted to doing something that my closest friends don't even know. Not people that I've known for years. I let it slip though. How could I have done that? It was stupid of me to do so. I feel that by admitting it I am showing a weakness. I have been damaged though, nothing about me is what it seems.
I don't tell too many people what happened to me years ago. It is hard for me to write here because I know two of my real life friends read this. I don't know if I want to reveal that much of myself here. I'll save my damaged troubled life for another post. For now I am going to bed. With a heavy heart and much on my mind.
Oh, but I really had a blast at Mediterranean's party. She is a great girl and I really enjoyed spending time with her.

I'm currently listening to Won't Go Home Without You on by Maroon 5
This weekend has been jammed packed with me and I can't seem to think straight. I had work on Friday, with Cabbage. It was nice to see him and talk. One plus about him is that if I'm down he'll try and cheer me up. He always does a great job too. It's just nice to know that people truly care.
After work though I had to go workout. I was really excited to go see my personal trainer. I hadn't seen her in a while because I had babysat the previous Friday and the Friday before that she had cancelled. So for me it was a long time. My mom and I get in there and start on our cardio.

The... FUTURE!
Hi Everyone!
I'm Currently listening to Sensitive subject Matter by Bonnie McKee
My whole life is spread before me like an open road. Part of me wonders where I’ll be in five or ten years. What will happen with my career, love life, and friends? Well, more than anything, this is a post about the future.
I have talked about the book I’m writing but I don’t think I have addressed the career I want, high school English teacher. I would love a job at the high school I attend. They have great faculty and an amazing atmosphere that I would love to be a part of. Part of me wonders if I will get a job there. It seems that they hire quite a few alumni though, so fingers crossed! Get back to me in five years and we’ll see.
I have posted about one of my ex-boyfriends. He is really the only one I will write about on here. (as far as exes go) Don’t worry though, I will write about all my tiny infatuations with guys I meet. As far as my love life goes though, it’s, I don’t even know. This is my first time in a really long time that I haven’t had a serious crush on someone. I mean I know you all know about Cabbage, but that’s not really a crush. That is sort of a funny little attraction. Part of me really feels free not to be consumed by a silly little crush. I am confident in myself and I think that is the first step to finding a good counterpart. Hopefully I will be in a good long term relationship that I can chronicle here and you all can throw up with all my romantic quips. I am truly a romantic.
Now, the biggest part, friends.
You all know Manhattan. She is like a sister to me. She is one girl who can read my mind. I have known her for quite a while and we connected on a level that can never be changed. While at times she gets on my nerves I know I get on her nerves too. We always have each other’s back. She is one of those girls who will be in my wedding and probably with me when I’m getting lipo at 50. We have been through everything together. She has to be my best friend for life because she knows WAY too much.
I introduced Mediterranean not too long back. She is a joy. I truly adore her. I know that no matter what point at my life I am at she will be there. I haven’t known her all that long, but she is definitely a girl who can talk to me about anything and ALWAYS make me laugh. C’est vrai!
Now, I’m throwing a new code name at you, can you handle it? I have faith that you can. Twin is the girl who I work with. We have the same personality and mild OCD. She started off HATING me, I don’t know how… Then, like always, I grew on her and now we are inseparable. We are two peas in a pod. She is someone who I can tell anything to and I know that she will keep it to herself. I know that we will probably end up having kids at the exact same time and going to the same prenatal yoga class and our perfect daughters will be born within minutes of each other and look gorgeously alike and be best friends. (Hope that doesn’t freak you out Twin!) hahahahaha. We are a perfect match for each other. I finally gave you a code name!
Alright, well enough about the future. Time to focus on the present.

My dearly beloved friends
Hi Everyone!
I'm currently listening to Last Name by Carrie Underwood.
Today was a really hard day for me to get through at school. I am a junior and some of my closest friends are seniors. Today was the last day of school for the seniors. I found myself wanting to cry so many times. They were all happy because they are done with high school and they still have to go through the actual grad ceremony and everything. I on the other hand had the sad realization that I was seeing some of these people of the last time.
While I will still see my friends over the summer and throughout my life, there are the random people who you see in the hallways and sit next to you in chem who I most likely won't see again. It is a sad sad thing to realize. It's even hard for me to type this out because it brings up so many emotions. I'm not a highly emotional person, but today really got to me. I don't even want to think of the last time I see each of my friends before college, it might just break me.
Good news though, one of my near dear friends, I shall call her Mediterranean, got her yearbook today and I was able to sign it. Hmmm, actually that applies to both of the real life friends who read this. So, let's talk about Mediterranean, and her great impact on my life. Actually, I have talked about her in a previous post, don't ask which one, because I will go back and find it if you do.
Mediterranean has inspired me to become a better me. She holds her head up high and doesn't care what other people think of her. While I hold my head up high and pretend to not care, I secret listen and analyze the moment I'm alone. I'd like to stop doing that. I think that seeing how strong of a person she is helps me stop caring about what people say. It sounds mighty trivial, but she is the kindest person. She took a lot of the courses I am, a year earlier but took them none-the-less. She has given me multiple things to help me prepare for next year and for that I can never show enough gratitude. She is a genuinely good human being.
Hmmm, it seems like I enjoy coming up with code names that begin with the letter "M".
