Senior Year

So just a little over a month into senior year and its the best and worst year of high school so far. Zach broke up with me yesterday after not talking to me for over a week, on facebook. Just changed his relationship status to single without saying anything to me. I feel like I'm going to die. I love him so much and it's so hard to face the rest of this year without him :[ but I do have so much going on. I'm co-directing the freshman play this year at my school and I have college applications to finish and 2 auditions, one at SUNY Purchase and the other at the Berklee College of Music. I'm pretty nervous buy my teacher says I'm going to do fine. I'm singing Monster by Meg & Dia, the acoustic version. One of my bestest friends is coming home from college tomorrow for a few days and I'm SOOOOO excited to see him again. We're prolly gonna go out and party this weekend XD hehe I'm really excited. So anyway, ugh broken hearts suck, I spent most of today in tears but I mean, he treated me like shit towards the end. I miss him so much though... :[

Lessons of Falling In Love

If I had known 2 1/2 months ago what being in love was going to be like, I probably would've been torn in half over what to do. Because most of the time, it's pure bliss. Everythings good, he treats me like no one has ever treated me. He holds me when I cry, and cheers me on when I'm trying something new. But then there's times like these. When I'm sitting at home alone on a saturday night with the company of stir-fry and a movie that I'm watching for a paper for school. And he's off at college meeting new people, hanging out with other girls, loving life and I feel like a fucking housewife. Cleaning the house getting ready for my sister and her kids to come stay for a month and a half, doing and folding laundry, doing homework. I hate these moments. If this is what the rest of my life is going to be like, always a step behind, never the same active social life, then fuck it. I'm not getting married. Fuck settling down. But then again, I love him so much and I would give anything to be with him forever. I probably sound like an idiot ranting like this but I needed someplace to vent. And sure, I'm going to spend the entire day on campus with him, but I still feel second rate to him. I mean, here I am, still in high school, struggling before school even starts to get papers done for my senior elective english class. Trying to decide if I'm going to college or not. Probably not, Coast Guard here I come. Trying to be as much of an adult as he is, Mr. College Freshman. Makes friends with everyone he meets. Doesn't realize how much it hurts when he forgets to call when he says he's going to call. Doesn't answer my texts. It's not even like I'm being overbearing. We texted back and forth this morning as he was getting ready to move in. I called to check in this afternoon, see how he was adjusting, he called to let me know that he was going to pick up some things at walmart, 4 hours ago. I call, left him a voicemail, figuring he was just busy, sent him a text letting him know that I loved him. Finally called again 2 hours later and he was too busy to talk for more than 2 mins. Promising a call when he was done at this short orientation thing in about an hour. Lets see if he actually calls. If this is what it's going to be like, I'm in for a stressful year.

Summer '09

Whew. Now that the summer is coming to a close I'm realizing how incredible it was. From my very first day of summer vacation I've been so happy with my life. My current boyfriend asked me out after picking me up from my last test of junior year and we've been crazy in love ever since. Looking back at the weeks before I cannot believe how much of a turnaround this summer has been. I went to the outerbanks with Zach (the boyfriend :] ) and I've learned the meaning of true friendship. I missed warped this year because of my trip to obx but I got to talk to John Ohhh and Pat from The Maine (AHHHHHHHH!!!!) and Craig Owens from Chiodos (EVEN MORE AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!) thanks to my awesome friends. Maybe we didn't spend as much time hanging out around town this summer as we did last but the memories from this summer are just as amazing as last. It seems like everyone is finally really growing up and getting a handle on life. Last summer the drama was almost unbearable everything was so insan. This year has been a lot more laid back. Lots of driving around at first until Zach totaled his car on the highway (everyone was okay). For most of July I spent almost every night hanging out in CVS parking lot watching my friends longboard around and just soaking up the summer nights. I've learned how to deal with my boyfriends overly clingy and needy best friend and how to cut off friendships that just weren't healthy. I've gained a bunch of friends and I lost some friends. But I think that this summer was totally worth it. I'm so happy with everything right now and so so so ready to get senior year started. My classes are amazing and I'm so excited to rock this year. The end of the month is coming up fast and I'm getting ready to say good-bye to so many people. My best guy friend Patrick leaves for school on saturday and my boyfriend leaves the following weekend. My friends Sam and Amanda are leaving or have already left and there's so many more. This is probably one of the hardest parts of growing up. Learning to say good-bye. Lucky for me Zach is going to school 45 mins away from me so we'll still get to see eachother on the weekends and winter break is from thanksgiving to halfway through January. I'm so excited to graduate next year and start my life.

this summer

so this summer is not turning out how i imagined it at all. i've been having a lot of problems with friends lately and school is driving me nuts. so my mom and my therapist decided today that i have to get away this summer and i'm going to one of two places. both are in bumblefuck nowhere. the first is i might be going to south carolina to live with my aunt and uncle for a few weeks, aka slave labor camp on their farm. or two i'm getting shipped up to kodiak alaska to live with my sister her husband and two kids. i suppose alaska would be pretty neat. i've been to south carolina before and idk. its not that fantastic. all their neighbors drive around in pickup trucks with gun racks in them. i don't fit in with rednecks so well...they scare me =] . alaska sounds fun cause its way different than anywhere i've ever been before. the only thing is that the only kind of store thats legit up there is wal-mart. and apparently its no bigger than the cvs thats near me. thats pretty freakin tiny. buttt the beaches are really cool and theres wild buffalo up there and whales. pretty cool...

but at least i only have 2 tests left this week and then i'm done with junior year. i can't wait to put this year behind me.

can't break me down

people have tried, but you can't break me down. only one person has ever come close to breaking my heart and he lives in aussie now. it takes a lot to hurt me, don't bother trying. and just because i sent one annoying message, you break up with me? seriously grow up and get over it. you can't cut off everyone that annoys you, sorry life dosen't work like that. anyway, i'm moving on, going to a party tonight. gonna enjoy the people who actually matter in my life. and maybe patch things up with patrick.

living. laughing. and loving.

track is seriously wearing me out. i went from doing jackshit everyday after school to running a minimum of half a mile five days a week. this is the last time i let anyone ever talk me into doing a sport. i learned a valuable lesson at track today, do NOT leave my ipod in my gym locker when i'm at track because if i'm listening to my ipod during warmups, i don't realize quite how retarted my friends are and i don't make a total ass out of myself in front of the entire varsity lax team. we decided to start screaming "YOU'RE JUST A CUPCAKE LOVER" while running today, and i'm pretty sure everyone thinks we've completely lost our minds, its all good tho. at least i don't run like i'm having a seizure or better yet, i don't lean over while i'm running. this one girl on the team is a total spaz, amazing runner but incredibly irritating. so the other day when celine ariel and i were walking out of the gym to the track it suddenly occured to me, she looks like the ugly baby dinosaur puppet on that old show dinosaurs! http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g90/alexisknox/300px-BabySinclair.jpg . okay not gonna lie i was a little off on that one, but still, when i look at her, thats what i see, no joke. track may just be the most entertaining thing tho. theres a little stream by the track and the other day walking back to the school after practice we saw two ducks and decided that the male was scene cause he had green and purple and brown and white feathers, and the female was emo cause she was all dark. yes these are the things my friends and i think about, scene and emo ducks. sarajane and i were laughing so hard in math today ariel and kelly were like Mrs. P, i think jaymee is having a seizure... i was crying i was laughing so hard, and to be completely honest, i don't even remember what was so funny. maybe amanda was saying or doing something retarted like she always does. LOVE THAT GIRL. even tho i've been feeling a little down these last few days, things have been going really well for me. i have the bestest friends ever <3 . oh and kyles pretty cool himself... ;]

A rant.

things could not get more complicated or stressful right now. theres a war going on between my friends and now there are three sides and of course i'm friends with all three sides and i'm trying really hard not to get involved but of course i always feel the need to comfort my friends and give them advice (because for once i'm not centered in the drama) but this is taking its toll on me. because person 1 keeps telling me how she can't be friends with people 2 and 3. and i'm friends with person 2 and person 3's boyfriend is one of my best friends even if i can't stand her. and person 1 is stressing me out so much because no matter how many times i tell her that i don't want to be involved, i keep getting the messages. i don't want to be involved. i don't want to hear about the myspace comments and whatever else is being said. and then of course theres the message that i recieved on thursday which threw me off quite a bit but i was really happy and whatnot and of course my friends were all a little weirded out and sorry but i was too. and don't get me wrong i'm really happy that i got that message, but honestly yer never even online, so last night my friends started to make me think, whats the point? and i don't want to end things but it almost seems like they're pressuring me to. i wish everyone and everything would just go away.

i'm done for now.

Finally I Can Move On

"Silent Film"

My heart is on the floor

These regrets are weighing me down

Flashbacks flood the eyes of my mind

These things will never leave me

The memories of you and me are worse than torture

They play like a never ending reel of silent film

Over and over again until I see nothing at all

Guilt holds me back

Moving on is impossible

It's just not plausible

But as my lips touch his

The movies go black and the memories fade to nothing

You don't matter anymore

chyea you know i wrote it =]

home bitches

so i'm finally home. took the train home from boston this morning and got home around an hour ago. its so good to be sitting in my own warm house. staying with my cousins was really fun but what dorothy says is true, "there's no place like home". haha okay i'm done being corny. i went and saw gran torino with my cousins on sunday night and then went to harvard square for ice cream which was really fun. i cried at the end of the movie it was so good. and then monday i went to quincy market and then went and saw slumdog millionare. also such a good movie. tuesday i went on a tour of emerson college which was pretty cool. the theatres there are soooo cool. i think i'd rather go to suffold university though. anyway i went up to salem town yesterday which was about the coolest/cheesiest place ever. we went to this crap-ass witch museum which was just downright hysterical. and then we made a cookie run to this amazing little cafe called cafe crema in harvard square. it was probably one of the best vacations i've been on in a long time and i'm super pumped to go back in april.
