So B. It
By Sarah Weeks
see relatedi'm in love with NC
not like obsessive or anything and not like I wanna actually date north carolina, but i wanna live there. I already decided I wanna go to High Point for school. I went there over spring break, got back today and absolutely loved it. There's alot to do, and the school isn't too far from a couple major cities. Plus I can totally see myself there for 4 years. It's not too big and has everything I want. I'm sykeddd, and wanna go right now. I mean cmon, they have a freaking ice cream truck that drives around campus and the dorms are freakin' amazinggg.
Those are all the minor details. The trip generally got me thinkin' about where i'm gonna be in less than 2 years. It really got me excited, because honestly I was alittle scared. Now I can't wait to go, which I'm definitely relived about. Growing up can be hard and scary, but if you really enjoy or look forward to something, growing up can be the best part of your life. And now I can't wait until I go off to school. There are other reasons involved, but yeah, I really can't wait to pack up and go. Just to see where I end up =]

Burned
By Ellen Hopkins
see relatedFounder/Creator/Speaker of: nothing
Don't you wanna be remembered for something after death? I don't wanna die and be a forgotten corpse buried 6 feet under. I want something to live on after I die. I'm almost positive whatever I'm remembered for will not have anything to do with science or math, so no cloning or math calculation from me. But maybe if I write a book or that newspaper article that everyone remembers. Maybe I'll get involved with some African Help group and go overthere to provide some aid, which I absolutely would love to do. Maybe I'll write something that matters, and that will make people look at a topic from a different perspective. I wanna change this world, hopefully for the better.
You know those people that say quotes that are remembered? How do they do that? Do they say it in front of a bajillion people and someone happens to write it down? Or do they say to one person and they tell everyone how intelligent the quote is, and it spreads that way? I wonder if the quote makers just say things intelligently without even thinking about it or if they plan it out. I know in a conversation I would not spill anything worth remembering. But then again the phrase, "when pigs fly" is nonsense anyway.
But what about those quotes like "Give me liberty or give me death" or "I have a dream..." Those are really great lines, from people trying to make a difference. I'm trying to make a difference too, but the only thing that comes out of my mouth is "why don't I ever say anything important". That isn't worth remembering. But what really determines a quote's importance? Does someone just decide to make something important because it sounds good, or for what it stands for? I'm asking more questions then saying statements in this entry, which shows how little I know of anything.
In order to say something intelligent I have to think about it first. I don't just have sparks of smartness as I'm speaking casually, like quote sayers, so I guess I won't be remembered for anything I say. Guess that narrows it down to a book or just doing something amazing. Maybe both, we'll see.I mean I don't wanna be famous, I just don't wanna decompose and disappear into the ground, I want something that can't disintegrate to stay in this world after I leave it. Is it really so much to ask of myself? To do something worth remembering for future generations to know my name?
Now that I think about it, it is alot to ask of myself, because honestly I'm lazy, and I probably won't do anything worthwhile. Oh well. It's the thought that counts.

Don't You Fake It
By The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Face Down
see relatedThose red high heels...
Not just the red ones but all high heels. Why is that when women wear them they suddenly are "sexy" or "long-legged"? I naturally have semi-long legs, that make me not too tall, just average height, but I refuse to wear high heels. They make me taller than the guys, and not that there's anything wrong with that, but I just feel awkward. So when I insist on wearing flats instead, it's like "oh, she's wearing flats". And I don't get the "nice shoes" comment made to me, just because I'm not lifted up off the ground.
Another thing about them, the clicking. The click clack of the heels on wooden or tile floors. I don't know what it is, but it's kind of obnoxious unless everyone else is wearing high heels. Maybe it's because whenever my mom stomps around in hers I know something is up. That could be it. But even so, when I hear the clicking I just know theres so cladly dressed girl or woman walking around strutting her stuff. Sometimes I wish I was her, dressing fashionably, even though by looking at her she'll never wear that same outfit twice. She's sophisticated, and us flat shoe wearer's are...not.
It looks professional at work, at the office and what not. But I have worn them before, and they hurt. Why put yourself through the pain, just to appear an inch or two taller? I'd rather walk on my tippy toes, then squish my feet in the toes of a high heel shoe. Wearing bandaids over the sore spots look horrible anyway. Good luck with the sore feet, it takes forever for them to heal. I feel for you girls.
The one reason I find high heels useful is either watching a man wear them or a small child. Both are unusually uneasy while walking whether they think so or not. It looks funny. Whether the man is a cross dresser or trying to be funny, it's entertaining and no one can hold in a laugh. Kids are even better though, especially the little girls playing dress up, in mommy's shoes. I was one of those girls and very proud of it.
Whether they're stilettos or the common work heel, leave them home if you can, you'll yourself from the suffering later. Save them for your kids or future kids to play dress up in, or husbands and boyfriends. haha. And I really can't believe I wrote a whole entry about high heels, but whatever I'm not the one who took time to actually read it. Like you did. =]

This Lullaby
By Sarah Dessen
see relatedI'm such a hypocrite
I really, truly, believe I am. I wrote a couple entries about people bitching and complaining about their lives. And what do I do? I write one yesterday saying how upset I am. Someone needs to pinch me or something bring me back to reality. I have it made, seriously. I thought about it last night. Nothing should get to me, my life has all the essentials and more. Great guy, great family, great friends, great life. period.
Nothing should get to me. I shouldn't feel alone about anything, I have someone who knows me better than I may even know myself. He's always there for me. He's my stability, and i bored him to death with my depressiveness yesterday, which I feel kinda bad about doing, because it probably was not bunches of fun for him. But I hope he knows how much it means that he listens, every time I get in a mood like this. I'm normally the one listening, but he let's me talk, and I thank him for that. Thanks hun <3

I guess what made me realize my hypocrite-ness was last night, in the rain. I got out of my car and stood there. It was raining hard but I didn't care. I stood there thinking, about nothing in particular at all. Just the lousy mood I've been in and how it needs to end. For good. Be buried in some dark closet I'll never open again. That kind of thing. I love my life, and the people in it, I should reflect the happiness they give me, so they see how great they make my life. How much I appreciate them. How much I appreciate him for allowing me to keep my sanity. You know who you are.
It's funny how I got all this from standing out in the rain. But I guess philosophical type thoughts like this come out when you least expect it. Now I remember what my grandma told me when I was little, about the rain. She said that the angels were crying. I always wondered why the angels were so sad, as to cry so many tears causing the worst of rainstorms. It took me several years, and I realized yesterday that they aren't tears of sadness always, but could very well be tears of joy. And that's what my tears last night were. Tears of happiness.

Coco
By Colbie Caillat
Magic
see relatedAlone.
Why do I feel alone? I really shouldn't. I exchange smiles with everyone, even people I don't know. I talk, am outgoing when I feel like it, and laugh constantly. So what's the problem? I feel like no one relates to me anymore. I'm different from everyone around me. And I know how everyone strives to be unique, but this unique-ness doesn't feel very positive. It feels more like a lonliness.
So what if I'd rather read, then goof off in class? Is it really enough of a big deal to ask me why I read? Does it bother you that I read rather than talk, or even do some homework. Does it change your perspective of me? I normally don't care what other people think, but I don't like feeling like a slight outsider. All the friends I've lost over the years. What the hell happened? Did I scare them away?
Is there something wrong with me?
I hope I'm not so different that I've changed from who I was, to cause my friends to go away. I'm down to a few close ones, which I love so much, and of course my bestest friend. He keeps me sane when I get these thoughts and feelings in my head. I wish I could push these pessimistic thoughts away, but I always seem to need his help. So thanks batman =] (you should know who you are).
Look there's another smile. But yet I still feel lonely, in a way, not extremely, but I do. Maybe it's because he's not here, and I wish he was. Maybe I'm too different from everyone, I really don't know. I wish I did.
I think I need a hug...
