walk away from livejournal
walk away form livejournal
all they do is:
embarrass people
get people in trouble
make people draw conclusions that they would never draw if they just spoke to you in real life, because they rely on a journal that is so watered down, that it in no way is an accurate depiction.
I hate it. |

So my government teacher gives my house a call this morning, saying I have a 64% so far in the last quarter.
So it is 4th quarter, my grade is low because of an assignment I missed because I was out for a couple days, I had an A in the third quarter which assures me that I already have a credit, and as soon as that message plays, my mom gets deafly quiet and just goes upstairs for the night obviously extremely angry. She comes back down at probably 11:30ish, and as soon as I say anything I just get a little pissy fit.
christ, you would have thought I murdered someone, or stole money from her or something. Nope, just a 64 in a class I've already passed. Imagine if I ever did something that actually could get me in trouble.
This upcoming weekend is the last weekend where I don't already have something planned until graduation. |

I went to a band picnic today, in the absence of a field trip as they have done for the past who knows how many years. We played ultimate frisbee, oversized golf, tips, went to the beach and ate like horses. It was a pretty good time....not at all as bad as I thought it would be, especially because I was basically the only senior there until about 6, when I was there from 2-7.
Usually senioritis attacks people going to school. I still am going to school, but not doing anything in it. My government teacher who has always been my bud the entire year, told me she had concern about my grade slipping. Then I turned in an assignment I had to make up and pulled myself up a letter grade. Can't say teh same for psych and stats. Even if I fail 4th quarter in stats, the worst I can do in the class is get a C... I think. My 3rd quarter grades rocked the world. |

You can't live on hopes, on dreams. People get giddy on the idea that perhaps something won't fall through, that perchance something they always have wanted to happen will.
So when the notion that it might all come true, people are ecstatic, they are in the most wonderful of moods. But eventually, the hopes and dreams look for something plausible, and then your hopes and dreams are shattered by something that happened, or the inability for a plan to come through.
Let's say you have concert tickets, and you invite someone to go along with you. They say "Hell yeah, I'd love to." You are ecstatic. But what happens when they say they can't, or the concert comes along, and they just don't show. That calls into question all those weeks you were excited. It Negates them, makes them worse.
Sometimes it isn't there fault. You could be again ecstatic for something, and then you screw it up yourself. You couldn't sit back, you couldn't let life run it's course. You just had to be on both sides of an issue. If two of the friends you value most are fighting, and both just have opposing views, you should stay out of it. Don't listen, Don't talk, just walk away. You can't try to be a friend to both. If one thinks you are on the others side, and the other one thinks you are on the other one's side, where does that leave you? It leaves you friendless, even if you just wanted everyone to be happy.
So what happens when it boils over, and your idiocy comes out in plain view?
Who knows?
Me being in the described situation, I just am ignoring everything from everyone. My obsession with trying to be on both sides of an issue are done. I'm not on any side, I'm not commenting. Not just now, but I'm done meddling in people's business. I know a LOT about a LOT of people, and it just gets me in trouble. I crave information from minute details to complete life stories.
But I have been bothered all night by just how dumb I have been lately. How selfish, how horrible. Not that I took sides, but that I even had the option.
So with high school ending, who needs an issue like this on the heels of what was seemingly an amazing month. Who knows, maybe I'm over-reacting because of the time of night and the aura of the evening, but I'm upset, I'm angry at myself, and am writing myself a note that I will see everyday to never mention anything about the past week ever again.
I'm sorry</font>
You know in your heart I never had bad intentions
I just screwed up
I'm done
and staying out of lives...
...including yours |

I'm done writing in here
It won't be forever
Could be a week, could be a few days before June... most likely somewhere in between.
High school has one more important thing to offer me, at least it's important to me....
and I don't want to post until after that, because it will be then I won't care what people think, or who is reading this, or where, or how often. Right now I do... a lot. I only care for one reason, one occassion when I don't want to know what people think, I want to be blind.
So, until then don't even check back |

I was up this morning at 7:45, and out of the house at 8:30. I was going to do a job for my godfather. I thought I was the only nova kid who would be up at that hour on spring break, but low and behold, on the way up Nob Hill, a girl (I don't know her name) who parks a couple spaces down from me was going almost the same place as me.
Small world....at 8:30 in the morning. |

I've heard of people justifying driving high. I don't agree, but there are people out there.
But I never thought I would see the day when someone, actually tried to justify to me that driving drunk was alright. |

Monday
I took a 100 question psych test in one period. It was 2nd period, so we were given the option of taking half monday, half tuesday. Everyone went home and checked their answers, and I didn't bother. I settled. The teacher got angry at everyone for doing that. Who could have guessed they would do that if you give them the option. Smart one. Had the county evaluation for band that evening. So I had to sit in a full tux until 8 at night or so. It was incredibly hot out to boot.
Tuesday
I think my government teacher favors me. I got a grade on an essay test I definitely didn't deserve, along with another assignment where I turned in 8 out of 11 items and got an 84. in 5th hour I just played flips the entire class... in fact I did that All days this week in my first hour since we had a sub all week. Basically, you have to flip a quarter onto a stool, but we make it crazy, you have to do it acros the room, or over a stand, behind the back... you name it. Horse... but with flipping a quarter onto a stool. I'm 2nd in the world.
Wednesday
Got there at 8 in the morning to help out with teh social studies fair. I was the dude teling confused people that if they did a project on Native Americans, their category was American History. I did get a couple doughnuts out of it, and it doesn't hurt to help out my government teacher.
Did nothing in school as was the norm all week. We did go out and a few people tried to get their engineering boats across the lake in front of nova. As soon as they put it in the water, it either flipped over, or it just went in a circle that didn't extent but maybe a foot out. Not too impressive. That night I went on my date auction date from over a month ago. Nicole came along and it consisted of a maybe 45 minute dinner at chilis. Way good time, but also way too short. Still is worth it... once.
Thursday
No one was in school. We had a senior meeting to discuss grad bash, which I don't be going to. My lunch table, which usually has about 14 people, had 5 people consolidated from 2 other tables. Watched three movies in Three classe, and played flips in the morning class. There was a party that night, which I Didn't go to, and should have. It was told it was in Jacaranda lakes, and it was also pouring. Who would have thought it wouldn't ge tbroken up on a Thursday night.
Friday
Woke up late, watched basketball, went to dinner with mom and godparents. Just a lazy lazy lazy day. I got offered to wax and polish a boat, inside and out, for a bit of money. I think I'm doing it Tuesday - It will take me the entire day.
I entered a ncaa pool at school. I'm doing extremely well, and I'm getting way too into the tournement.
That was my week. It has to be the most inactive, unremarkable one. I'm suprised VH1 can even come up with an episode of Best week ever. |

^ Kind of an interesting tidbit. Even if you are some 55 year old out there with one of these, you aren't alone.
In english, we were assigned a project for the book Wuthering Heights. It's a group project, so I was assigned with three other people, two of them I did a project on Othello with.
Now, for teh Othello project, we got it a few weeks in advance, and it needed to be video taped. Everyone has such a ridiculous schedule, except me, so we wound up, the night before, doing an unorganized video, that didn't include one girl because she was shopping in Boca with her mom the entire day and evening.
I mention that to mention this. The project is due Tuesday, and we were planning on doing it tonight. I remember Saturday mornign that I am out of commission for Monday night until maybe 9. I call the girl who's house we are all meeting at. I call, get this.... 13 times over Saturday and Sunday. They don't have an answering machine, nor does she have a cell phone. So now it's Monday, Im about to get out of class to go do my thing until 9ish, and no way to contact her.
I've done everything here to try and reach her, and also the other girl in the group... to no avail.
I hate group projects |

That guy is hanging around in the canal behind my house. Along with him are tons of iguanas, even more turtles, snakes, lizards, and anything else that roams around Davie. It's getting crazy. We need someone to remove the gator.
Anyway
The advent of telephones and instant messaging brings people closer than they have ever been. Just look at your buddy list, and look how many people you talk to on a regular basis.
So you sit there one night, spilling your heart out to some kid about your boyfriend/girlfriend problems, or you are telling them how your day went, or anything else that happens to be in your mind. The volume of what you say must be amazing in one day just through typing....especially if you are an aim addict like me. Same thing happens on the phone, you will sit there forever, content talking to people about anything from yourself to the weather.
excluding the people that aren't anywhere close to where you live...how many people on that buddy list, or in that phone book do you talk to, often, and personally, and yet never hang out with in person. Maybe there is someone online or on the phone you have spoken to for such a long time, but have never had a full conversation with in person. Even worse, why will we carry on with all these "buddies" of ours, and when the idea of hanging out in person comes up, it seems like a horrible idea. How many people on your list, or in your book, do you talk to, but never want to really see outside of the safety net of a computer screen.
So which is more quality... an hour spent on the phone, or an hour spent walking through the mall. You can talk a lot more, and learn a lot more over the phone, but you do that so often. You don't go strolling around the mall for an hour with someone everyday, so it being so uncommon makes it more of an asset right? Who knows
The main point is, that maybe people you talk to online, don't always equate to being people you can just walk up to and hang around with. An online/over the phone friend is a far cry from a person you spend physical time around. Sometimes it works out, and it goes both ways, but I don't think one guarentees the other. I the majority, The people I spend the most time with, don't know anywhere near as much as people In don't spend much time with....if any. I know a few people, and two of them most notably, who I Talk to quite often, but seem petrified at the thought of talking in person...even when we had a class together.
They don't always equate
It's definitely a good idea to find out if it does
and if it doesn't....leave it alone |
