and everyone you thought was true is not. and everyone you thought was real is not. and everyone you trusted can't be. and everyone you loved is empty.

p.s. why are practically all guys such douche bags? "why can't you just put out?" uhhh....cuz im not a slut you asshole? and you arent worth the effort? and you're fucking lame? seriously though, bags of douche. all of them. wtf man. why is everything so paradoxical? that probably seems really out of context, but it makes sense to make me.

sometimes even the littlest things seem soooo significant. you know they are not, but you still harp on them. you know none of it matters, yet you care so much it hurts. i want to just not give a fuck.

if you really loved someone, why would you go to such an extent to hurt him or her?

[ music | damien rice ]

today i was at banana republic with my mom when i saw man of my dreams. he was gorgeous, adorably dressed and our eyes met. as i murmured to my mom he was cute...his boyfriend walked up and grabbed his hand. i would say that it is ironic...but it isn't ironic...it just plain sucks.

yea... [16 Dec 2004|08:59am]
i'm pretty much a downer. sorry for that. but to be frank, pretty much the only thing i think about is how if i even end up getting accepted anywhere...i will be unaccepted because of my grades this year. hearing about everyoen getting accepted just makes me feel more apprehensive. its so frustrating to work so hard and not reap any benefits. i have serious issues. my brain has slowly dwindled away into a vast state of nothingness. i kind of think of it as a car running out of gas. im just kind of put-putting along ...praying tht ill have just enough to carry me the rest of the way. basically my hubris (excessive pride) lead me to my hamartia (taking too difficult of a schedule)and i am in a state of anagnorisis...my point of realization that i made a grave error in judgement in signing up for as many ap courses as i could take. now i am simply preparing myself for the tragic downfall. wow. looking back on what i have just written, i now realize that was a rather conceited analogy. i just suggested i was a tragic hero. hah. now i must ensue in writing a crappy essay that will take me forever because i have add and make a last gasp effort at learning anything about dna. ::sigh:: when did i turn into this?

i never seem to write very well in my livejournals. people probably think im a crummy writer. [15 Nov 2004|05:50pm]
[ mood | pensive ]

i spent a lot of time with my parents this weekend and i've just been thinking a lot in lieu of recent events. i was looking through my mom's old yearbooks and it made me feel regretful about parts of my life. i guess...it jsut got me thinking (the way a lot of things this week have been)....and maybe it would have been better if i was just in average, normal classes all during high school instead of being segregated in all these ridiculously competitive ap classes, and didnt put all that unneeded pressure/stress on myself. i wish i would have taken more risks, dated more, partied more...i dunno. overall im glad i worked hard because i love the friends ive made (seriously...the most amazing people who i wouldnt trade in for anything) in the process and succeeding and gaining knowledge is very satisfying...but i just wonder what my life would be like if i had just slown down, rather than constantly try to keep up with herd (and often falling behind and kicking myself endlessly for it). this sounds really random, but after looking through my mom's yearbooks, i feel like i would give anything to be transported back to 1972 and live high school in my mom's shoes. my mom always talks abotu how there was no real segregation in classes...everyone pretty much took the same courses....everyone went to parties or 'big surf' on the weekends....she met tons of people from other schools, dated...i dunno. sounds pretty nice to me. what is the point of being uptight and killing myself? dont get me wrong...ive had an amazing time in high school, an done a lto of crazy fun things...i just wonder what it would have been like without always being surrounded by anal competition, competition, competition,ap, honors, sats, ivy league, yada yada yada

ok after rereading everything i jsut wrote.....i think i have come to a conclusion. im happy with what i did at huntington and i wouldnt change it. i guess what i kinda long for is to have gone to high school in a setting like my mom did....where it wasnt competitive the way it is today. i dunno if that makes sense. it does to me anywho.
