Sympathy's better than having to tell you the truth

all you are to them is now a lost cause...
I had a dream last night that was rather vivid. I was in this house that, now that I think about it, somewhat resembled my old neighbors house but it was much more open and larger. It had wooden floors, and the walls were painted an ivory colour. I walked in through the front door, and it was a dry blue grey outside like the effects they have in music videos. The rooms were empty, though I really only saw two. There was the front entrance which led into a large room that was divided into three, there were stairs leading up on the left and then when you walked forwards there was the kitchen on the right with another staircase in the center that led upstairs. The back doors were French, and open with a breeze blowing transparent curtains.
There was this little girl, I'll name her Cadence for now, and she was dead. A ghost, but solid. She was pretty, pale skin with light freckles, long dark hair and beautiful doe like eyes of hazel with thick lashes. She wore a white dress, as did I. I always wear simple white summer dresses in my dreams for some reason. She was angry, and sad. She walked towards the back door, and where she stepped rotten rose petals appeared. When she turned back around, I was in her life. She had a family, Mother, Father, and two siblings. She was the youngest. There was a man that was trying to be with her mother, but she was in a happy marriage. He kept barging in however, and even came in through the back door and sat at the breakfast table when the parents were busy. During this time, everything was bright. There was furniture around and the girl was happy, though skeptical, curious, and rather frightend of the man.
As a note, the man kept turning into a pretty woman. It kept changing between a man wanting to get with the wife to a woman trying to steal the husband. In the end it was the man after the wife, so that is how I shall continue this story.
One day the man has stepped on the childrens toys, and then had a bit of a spaz and told the children things that children shouldn't hear. I'm not sure what it was, I just know the man stepped on her doll and then tore it's head off and pulled out the stuffing. The father had enough of this man, for the mother was too kind to make him leave, and so the father took over. The next day the family, save for the father, was eating breakfast. The mother was washing dishes when the man came in. The mother went outside, following a trail of rose petals the man had left. She walked over to the garden on the right of the back yard, where her husbands bloody corpse lied under a mountain of rose petals. She fell to her knees and screamed, sobbing and pounding the ground.
The man was sitting at the table, watching from the window. Cadence stood from her chair and went to pick up the petals and crawled around, following the path. The man kept dragging her back, saying the petals were not something for her to play with. The mother came back inside with a grave face, and continued with the dishes.
My dream changed to being at my house, I dyed parts of my hair pink, and I wanted to put blue in so that it wouldn't be so bright but my blue turned out to be blonde. I was all excited because there was supposed to be this party and a guy I liked was going to be there but by the time I came back with the blue dye everyone was there and I still had this towel on my head hiding the brightness of this pale pink. So I excused myself and put the blue in and came down an hour later. It was weird.
The dream changed again and it involved magicks of some kind. I was riding a horse around this trail and I had to pick things up off of the backs of other horses [which were all black by the way] because Lor had been stupid and done bad things.
In the end I was back in the old house with the child, who in the beginning was hostile but since I understood and saw what happend she made me out to be her sister and held my hand.
That's all I really remember. This blog was just a procrastination tactic of mine. :]

Pokemon are totally dead baby

Pi-KA-chu!

I should use this more often. It would help me sleep better. I think...
Maybe.

Last night was very dead baby. Well the first part wasn't, after school Bree dragged me to the school hockey game. I don't like hockey. Though there was some violence, and that was interesting at least. She got a bit wigged out because there were girls on the other bleachers next to us that had signs about the guy she was there to see. I know all of them, except one, and they're all nice people so I figured it was one of those jokes things with friends but actually one or two of them actually really like the guy. Apparently everybody knows this guy, and the first I've heard of him was when Bree was all "OMG I heart this guy!" and sent me pictures.

I feel kinda left out. Not over this Reid guy, I don't give a flying monkey poop about him. I mean that in the nicest way possible, I really do. What I'm trying to get at is that I feel left out with not liking somebody. It seems all the girls seem to have someone they like. Except for my Nikkibeans, though it's hard to tell with her because she has a larger world then what I am included in. If I had more time I would link arms with her and cling, but I think our relationship would be less fun that way. Still, I have faith [and I don't mean religious] in Nikki that she would tell me of any such happenings.

Anyways, back to yesterday being dead baby. During lunch Cam came to visit me and Becca at the table, as usual, and he asked me out. I thought it was a joke and laughed and I asked him if this was another of his bets.

Quick explanation: Cam and whoever he makes these bets with have bets where Cam asks a girl out and depending on their answer or sometimes even if the date occurs.

He said he was serious and I was still half laughing and I told him no, that he was my friend. I emphasized this point by gesturing to him and saying "friiiieeeend." I still didn't think that he was serious so I mentioned the bets, and he said they had nothing to do with it. He then said he wanted to see my reaction, because he and Heather got back together the night before. I was like "Gee, thanks." But he said he actually was going to ask me out last month but wasn't sure, and then Lor and him dated for like three weeks. Poor Cam, seduced by the big boobs a coniving woman. He's nice as a friend, but I have two reasons not to date him. One, he's my friend. Two, he has a horrible status for ending relationships.

The fact that he asked me out in person was what made it so dead baby. That's never happened before to me, it's always with the online stuff. Naveed, David, and even [ew] Terry all asked me out using the internet.

EEW BOTH TERRY AND ALYSHA WERE AT CHOIR THIS WEEK! And I was forced to HUG Alysha. I wanted to take a looooong shower after touching her, even though all I did is like lean forward and let my shoulder like scrape her and then backed away. The only reason I even succumbed to such things was because I didn't want to make a scene. Then she was all "Ohhh I'm gunna steal Amelia's jacket, it's so cool!" and I just looked at her, said bye to Santi and walked off. I avoided Terry very well though. I made eye contact once, but that was just because he was behind/beside Tori and Andre. I even walked right by him without so much as a glance. Jebus I'm such a bitch, but he has a record for stalking people and he has asked me out and stalked me for a good week. Never again.

Anyways, back to my dead baby night. I picked up Alexx and Becca and we went to East Side Mario's for dinner for our reservations at seven. We met up with Alesha, Turners friend. She's also dead baby, and she works at East Side. So we ordered and everything and shared the stories of the week and Turner says "I have to burp" and does this massive belch and right then our waiter comes up to the table with the salads and is like "Don't worry, I didn't hear anything." A bit later this other waiter comes over and tells Alexx that this guy at the bar wearing a winter hat [those cute knitted ones with the ear flaps] has a huge crush on her. So she was all kinda embaressed and said thanks for the info. She has a boyfriend by the way, so she wasn't interested at all. Later on the other waiter comes by again with a bunch of shots, and says they're from the guy with the hat. So we're all like "thanks!" and he goes away and everyone downed the shots except me because I wasnt sure if they were alcoholic or not, but they ended up being clean.

So then the hat guys friend drags the guy with the hat in his bar stool over to our table and he was like "Hi." So we were like "Hi, whats your name?" And we all introduced ourselves and we all forget the guys name... Anyways so he asks how old we are and Becca, having waited to say this for the whole time pointed to Turner and was like "She's my fourteen year old little sister!" and the guy was like "I should leave now..." but then we were laughing and said we were actually 17, except for Alesha whose 18 and he was like "Seriously, you're underage? Oh man I need to go..." and then Becca was like "Alesha is of age!" and we all laughed he was like oh dear and then we asked how old he was and he said "How old do you think I am?" and Turner guessed 22 and he said "I'm turning 30 in a few months." We didn't believe him because he looked like he was 19 so he was like "Check my liscence" and he told the truth. So then he did leave and we laughed because he ended up paying for alchoholic shots.

We went to see Twilight after with Turners parents. The movie was okay, it wasn't great. Anyone who didn't read the books would be majorly confused, and the camera angles, dialogue, and lighting were very suckish. Scenes that were in the trailers were not in the movie, and the good songs on the sound track were only in the credits. The only reason this movie is so popular is because so many people read the books. The only reason so many people read the books are because there were all us supernatural loving children and they picked up the book going "yes, vamps!" and then realized it was more of a teen romance thing and passed it along to those who like those things. People who dissed me for liking vampires and werewolves are now mega fans. Bitches.

Your simple tragedy is all I wish to hear

Sorrow lasts through this night.

I'm seventeen now! My birthday was last Monday, a week back from tomorrow. I was sick most of the week though, and then came back on a test day. Probably flunked. Not a good thing when looking at University applications. It seems like everything I've handed in in the past week or so has been shit. I've gotten the worst marks I've had all semester, and they were all on projects/papers that I worked incredibly hard on. When I handed them in I was positive I would get low to mid eighties. Then BANG shit mark. I seem to notice a pattern of whenever I do bad when I know it should be better I get sick. It's even like a genuine illness, it just tends to happen when things are hard to understand.

I have a new video camera from my birthday, and I haven't used it yet. What is wrong with me? The thing is amazing. I think I've been sleeping too much. But then again, whenever I try to do something more all I can think of is how tired I feel. Maybe if something happens in my life I won't feel so tired anymore. Like I'm tired with life or something. Weird. I like life. The Orphaned Anythings has given me more of an appreciation for it. Yet I still feel tired. Of everything. Bitch.

Lor didn't show up to my birthday party. She told me she would come right after work, and then told Myu the night before she wouldn't show up. To make it worse, during the party she was texting Tori making up an excuse as to why she wasn't there and wouldn't be. Both Tori and Bree took the initiative to leave their beef at the door and came as soon as they could. They really made an effort. Becca was prepared to do the same. I don't see why Lor couldn't do the same thing. When I wondered aloud why Lor wasn't there and I learned about those things, it really hurt. By the time everyone was leaving and I realized she really wouldn't show up for even a minute to say Happy Birthday I felt like crying. It takes a lot to make me cry, so I was able to stabilize pretty quickly though.

I give up. I made an effort to really be friends again. She blew it for her own selfish reasons. I've never given her a reason to not trust me, and she just lies about everything to get her way. I know Bree has her moments of "wtf?" but she always talks about it and it usually gets corrected. Lor does it behind everyone back. I'm done with it. I don't talk to her much any more, but I think I'm going to revisit my elementary school days and just ignore her existence.

I know everything that you want to lie

But I want to remember, I need to remember...


This afternoon everything looked like it was going to die a slow horrible death, but the day ended up to be awesome. I slept in late, did laundry and made muffins. When I went through the kitchen to the laundry room to get my shirt Alex borrowed ten bucks to go bowling. I told him I needed it back before the family thing because I have a concert and needed the money, but he left anyways. He killed the transmission in my moms car so that it needed to be towed. We had to go pick him up, and because the doors opened at 4:30 we didn't get to go to the family get together. We rocked out to Anberlin on the way there and back.

Becca and I missed Carolina Liar and Hey Monday's set because of the tow truck incident. We got there as We The Kings were setting up. We were close to the front, which was good and bad. On Sunday I was right up front next to the speakers, but this time we were more centered. I almost touched Bill's hand, but then some guy jumped on me and pushed me back a foot.

William Beckett is a very talented dancer. He's the most energetic and involved person on stage that I have ever seen, and I hope that one day I can take after him. He leaps in vertical form often. Ahahaha! Also, his pitching is improving when he's onstage. The first time I saw him [a year ago] it was questionable, and during Warped Tour this summer he had improved immensely but was still off in some places. Tonight he was only off a few times, and when he wasn't singing what was recorded it was a harmony he had created.

I am now a member of Santi's Little Helper! I didn't realize it when I bought the shirt, but it turned me into one. My membership card should come in the mail soon. We went out to the tour bus after I bought the shirt and a poster, and we met some new friends. Victoria Baily and her friend whose name I cant remember or look up yet because my camera died. Anyways, we got our tickets signed by Travis [again!] and by Chizzy, as well as my new poster! My poster was signed by Chizzy! I'm so excited about it. I can't wait to hang it up, but that will have to wait until tomorrow. A bunch of my posters fell down so I have to rearrange them all.

When I got home I found out that I had a myspace message from my favourite unlabeled myspace band. Goodnight LA said happy birthday and gave me a free download off their pure volume, and it ended up being my favourite song! I messaged them back asking if I could get the sheet music for the song because I'd love to cover it for the Arts Cafe.

Also I found out I have relatives in Vancouver Island and Alberta. Some guy named Kenneth added me on facebook and he has the same last name as me, so we started talking and stuff and we are definately related. Im going to mention it tomorrow when I email the family as a thanks for the birthday presents. I now have $115, a new roots bag, and a note book made entirely from recycled paper. Amazing!

Best birthday present ever was the ticket to the concert. Definately memorable!

Don't drop your arms

With quiet words I'll lead you...

Last night I went to the Dir en grey concert, and it was fantabulous. I bought a new dress for the occasion, and it is quite fantastical. I touched Kaoru's knee and got his water bottle that he dumped down my shirt and Liz's, who received the cap to the bottle. There was this hardcore fan behind me, and when Kaoru stepped onto the speaker he totally obliterated me. I was hanging onto the corner with my finger tips, squished against a blasting seven foot speaker with no where to step because some lazy people left there stuff on the ground instead of in coat check. I got it all on video! MY CAMERA DIED AS SOON AS THEY CAME OUT OF THE TOUR BUS! And it was fully charged when I left the house D:

I had the strangest dream last night. I've been thinking about it all day, and I haven't told anyone yet because it creeped me out.
I was at the school, and I went through the day in a bit of a rush. The halls were lit with natural light, not the normal fluorescent lights. I passed by many people and I received many flowers and such because I was to have emergency appendicitis surgery after chamber choir that day from one of the teachers. This teacher was apparently god to everyone, including myself.

So I was on the third floor of the school, where most of my classes are, and went to the washroom with Nikki. It wasn't the regular school washroom, but one that appears in my dreams often. The doors to the stalls were odd though, even to my dream self. They opened in the middle, then sort of latched together. Anyways, I washed my hands and fixed myself up.

I wasn't in my uniform oddly enough, but it kept changing between my skinny jeans and a skirt with fancy leggings. My shirt was grey, but I don't own one like it. I wish I did.

Anyways, I walked into the classroom next to my locker carrying a wicker basket of flowers with the fake grass stuff. It was a creamy grey with pale purple flowers. So I walk in and place it on the desks, and the teacher turns around from his desk. It was Stephen Christian, but not at the same time. He looked a lot like Stephen Christian, but acted totally different than who I have witnessed and listened to. His features seemed to stand out more, such as his clear deep blue eyes. And his smile...

I can't get that tilted smile out of my head.

It was the most chilling thing I have ever seen/dreamed in my life. Not in a good way either. It tilted to one side of the face, like a smirk. Teeth glinted with a pearly luster. He had his hair tied back loosely, and was wearing a tight black suit. That's another difference, his build was much smaller than Stephen's. Anyways I was like unsure the whole time, and he tried to comfort me by talking about choir. So I kept talking, and he had me on the desks to start the surgery and had already given me the stuff that knocks you out before my common sense caught up to me. He already had my shirt lifted, revealing my stomach and bordering the under wire in my bra. I flailed my arm, and was struggling really hard to keep consciousness.

Yes, I kept blacking out in a dream. This probably made it more creepy.

He gave me that smile and chuckled. I told him I couldn't go through with the surgery there, it was beyond unsanitary. I had gotten off the desks at this point on the opposite side of him, and had to grab onto the desks to keep from falling over because of the immense pain in my side. He told me that was the appendicitis and that it was getting worse. If it wasn't treated right away, "well... Let's just say it won't be a pleasent experience." I was shaking and crawled towards all the flowers and such that were in the corner of the room. I slumped down and kept gasping, blinking really hard to keep awake. I had Fred, my panda, with me as well as a few other things from my past that make me feel safe. He laughed and kept saying that those things wouldn't protect me from the world. Then he grabbed my hand and pulled me up and forwards, but I was limp so he caught me. He told me he was going to do what he planned whether I wanted it or not, and then I shoved him really hard and stumbled out of the room and into the hall. I ran with Fred in my hand down the hall with the windows to the atrium. He was running behind me and shouting my name, and then I looked back and Fred wasn't with me anymore. He was smiling and I was breathing really hard and then I just fell forward to have him catch me again, and everything went black.

I woke up this morning with him saying "I'm just getting started" and something about how my safety items are useless in reality. The whole time during that dream I felt really small and delicate. I'm often told I'm tiny and look fragile, but I always feel like I can handle nearly everything.

I was so depressed when I woke up this morning because of that. How could my mind have twisted Stephen Christian, my idol, so much?

Wednesday, November 12, 2008

I hope you will be happy tomorrow

Unchanging dreams, to an unchanging past...


I haven't blogged in a few days. I've thought about it, but never took the effort to do so. I haven't even been on my computer much, save for school work.

I finished my poetry assignment, and I'm a little sad that the unit is over. I love poetry, I like fitting words into cryptic puzzles that can only make sense to myself unless further explained. I wasn't short for inspiration, I wrote about the half moon which created it's own story and also about my Grandfather. His paperweight, anyways. It's mine now. I love the thing, it's sitting in front of me at the moment. It always is. I place it over my "gaurdian angel" medallion that my Mom gave me on the window sill above my bed at night before I sleep. I makes me feel safe. I also have Fred, the panda bear Nikkibeans and Tori bought for me in Washington. serving as a barrier between me and the wall is a pillow Lauren made for my birthday. It's pink with fish and says "sushi" all around it with three black bows. I'm such a mush ball.

I also recieved my mid-term today. I have a 78 average. I thought it would be higher, but my last few tests have been in the ugh. Actually I should be doing stuff for my religion project right now, because technically I only have tonight, tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday night to work on it. Ew.

I hope there's a new Clannad After Story episode up, though that probably won't happen until Saturday. I feel like this week never ends.

She goes straight for the deep end

Doesn't hesitate to die for you...

I haven't posted anything in a few days. Life has been... I don't know. Not hectic or overwhelming, and not exactly time consuming. It feels rather hollow.

Halloween was fun. I slept over at Tori's with Nikkibeans and Lor. We haven't done that since before Dave and Tori started dating. It was very nostalgic. Still, I felt as though I was walking on water. Every conversation, every word was spoken with delicacy. There was nothing keeping me from sinking, yet I was afloat. There was a few parts during the night when the conversation could have quickly turned to Bree, and all I could do was scream in my mind against that happening. The only reason it didn't was because they knew it would upset me. At least that's what I think. If it were to have happened that night, I don't know if I would've been able to handle it. I would have just let everything out in an explosion. I probably would have cried again.

Not even Becca or Nikki knows I've cried about it. It was right before the party. I told them I was napping and then dragged to do the decorations because I was in a bad mood. I never gave a reason to my bad mood. Truth is, I think both Lor and Tori experimented with me to see if I was a threat or not in the situation. Tori took over the party. I tried to fight against it, but when she took away my arguments I just let her take it. Lor had me switch Wii remotes with her for no good reason. They both work, and the one she wants me to switch with is definitely hers. She says the strap looks "chewed" but it's just the design on it. I remember everyone commented it the night she brought it over in the first place. I haven't switched them yet, just for the fact that I have a very poor memory.

Am I horrible person for thinking such things about my best friends? Lor is the one who made such a horrible wound. I'm not even sure if Tori's involved, but for some reason I feel as though she's wrapped in the bloody gauze. I'm only letting them do such things to me because of my own facade. I don't want everything to fall apart. But now I'm wondering if that would be better then having everything feel so hollow. My mask is slipping. I'm actually tearing.
This can't continue...

Nick stayed until around 11:30 on Halloween. I don't understand why his parents gave him such an early cerfew on Halloween, especially since it was a Friday and he's a senior in highschool.

Highschool. I feel like I'm wasting my life away. I feel like College/Uni is so close, and that I have done nothing memorable. Nothing with meaning. No, that's not it... That's too simple. I know I have made an impression. Something else is happening. I feel like I'm going to go away very soon. I'm not sure whether it's just with living in another city when I graduate, or if it's something more permanent.
Like death.
Maybe I'll be reborn in some way... I highly doubt that though.

We could ride all night

to the pace of the blinking light...
Last night was beautiful. It was the best concert I've ever been to, and I have been to many. Tonnes more than the average person my age has attended.
I wish that I could've stayed thirty minutes more for autographs.
I wish I could have seen Stephen Christian face to face, instead of being one in the crowd.
I wish that night never ended.
Sadly, I have responsibilities as a student to actually attend classes. Thus I left. Damn.
I have a lot of video clips, but not too many photo's. Video is easier. You don't end up missing everything to take a picture of a hair blur illuminated by stage lights. Anyways, I'm turning those clips onto my vocals portfolio. I'm quite enjoying the reminicing.

I replay your voice

it's like you're here...
I'm only online to finish sending my homework to myself for printing. That concert made me speechless, and I cried a little while jumping around. Anberlin is by far the best and unique band out there. They have great live shows, where you can feel Stephen Christians contentment in the crowd.
All I can say for now. Details tomorrow.

PS I'm so damn excited! How the flip am I supposed to sleep? I WAS IN THE SAME ROOM AS STEPHEN CHRISTIAN!

Chasing shadows as the evening takes me

I'm still searching but the photo's fading...
I've been listening to "Retrace" by Anberlin on a never ending loop. It drudges up old memories of one I don't like to name. The song is so beautiful, and I love visualizing Stephen Christian's romance that inspired the piece. My own memories taint the image.
When I think about them, they still seem so pure and I remember the warm flutter I felt when he made me laugh or held me close. But in the end they seem tarnished.
Is it horrible that I want to see his face again? It's been over a year. I think about the tree, that little green area behind the mall parking lot with the bench, the wooded path with the creek that leads to no where... Even his scent. [Creepy, I know.] I don't want anything to happen. I don't feel that way anymore. I don't know what I'd do. Perhaps I want to prove that I'm better off now. If that was so, then why do I want to see him? He made me cry, which is something I hardly ever do. I could list the times I've cried on my fingers.
This sucks. Not only have these stupid thoughts kept me from finishing my homework, they're keeping me from the excitement of meeting my hero tomorrow. Stephen Christian, you are my imperfect perfection.

No More Words





After deleting all of my precious video clips, my pictures would finally upload. When cleaning my room last night, I found that Hello Kitty stationary under my desk. It's flippin' AMAZING.


Fred and I will now say goodnight, as we are going to go watch the new episode of Clannad After Story.



xxx

We will try until the bitter end

Maybe I'm the one to blame here...

I went to a new restraunt called the Olive Press for dinner tonight with the Prolas Family. Once again, the brothers didn't show up. Jason because he now resides in Waterloo, Alex because he wanted to jam. Lauren and I doodled, but we hardly talked. When we did it was about things like school. Though that is partly the noisy restraunts fault.

I miss hanging out with Lauren and being totally phsyched for it, knowing that when we got together we would come up with some new world. I miss how innocent we used to be. I hate how we know both of us have totally different lifestyles. It's heartbreaking when we get together and realize that. I care so much about her, and I don't want us to completely fall apart. I'm sure she feels the same.


These thoughts/emotions are only dug up once in a while. We always enjoy eachothers company, but sometimes it just seems... Stale. It's offbeat when this occurs. Next time we chill together, I think I'll bring up something more indepth. Like time, or the importance of our existance. I ponder over those topics endlessly.
xxx

She's got that killers grin on

Or maybe I'm just to jaded now...

Attempting to upload the photo's for the sixth time. Hopefully they will load, because it turns all sketchy when there's video on it.
... It didn't work. Again.
Now I have to delete the video on it, which I need for my vocals portfolio.
I guess I'll just act it all out. Again.
Perhaps my parental will buy me a real video camera now. That would be grand.

Went to Myu's today. After talking with her, I think I know what I need to do about the beef. Right now, every time I see Lor I feel really awkward and cold towards her. I don't feel as though I know her. Not that I show my depression, I have a mask of steel! What really gets to me though, is that she feels really cold and it's her cold that makes me cold. It's like standing under a heated lamp, and knowing that if I touch the metal fence next to me my finger tips will burn from the freeze. Then I touch it anyways.

(OMG I spider just like decended in front of my face and onto my key board. Had to run downstairs and get the vaccum after squeeling while trapping the bugger under a cup. Creeps.)

Anyways, what I'm getting at is that I will try and pretend. I don't know if I can follow through right away with that decision, but I will try and pretend that nothing happend. It will be like before where I'll just tune out whenever the other person involved is mentioned. Start thinking about Stephen Christian and other such happy thoughts. I could never leave. I don't have anything to loose but time anyways.

Do you know how long it takes before we die?

Singing "Fear of flying" by A Rocket To The Moon. I promised Becca that I would say "Do you know how long it takes before we die?" to whoever is sitting next to me when I'm on the plane to New York during Christmas time. I shall video it.

Now, I must get out of my uniform and into better clothes that I must iron first. Then I shall tidy my room. It's getting bad in here (my pillow case has eyeliner smudges). THEN I will lug my guitar up from the music room and learn some stuff before I take pictures of myself like the vain child I am. I shall also start on my Vocals portfolio.

I do have some clips that I can use. They just suck.

I'll put some of the pictures on here after. Maybe.

xxx

I just can't get it

and I'm coming to these terms that my heart won't beat anymore.
I had three tests today.
Vocals, Writers Craft, and Religion.
I think my vocals was the worst I've done since my first year. Which really sucks, because I didn't feel nervous and two seconds earlier and after I sung everything perfectly. It was such a let down.
Writers Craft was moderate. I feel that I did my best and marked down the majority of the questions correct. All though it has happened nearly every time I have one of those tests that I feel awsome about it and then end up getting a poor mark.
Religion was terrible. I tried to answer the review questions last night, but none of the ones I looked at were in the notes [and I have all of them!]. I feel horrible. I was supposed to finish them and then send the answers to Becca through email, but I couldn't get any of them. I think I did okay on the test. Not great, not failed, but imbetween.
Much like my life.
Becca wasn't at school today, and missed both the Writers Craft and Religion tests as a result. I hope she's okay. I know she worked until 10:30 last night, which is why I was supposed to send her that email, and she wasn't totally upbeat yesterday.
I'll give her a ring to see if she's still breathing.
By the way, I'm at home until 1:20. Since I finished my religion test early, I got to leave early. See we usually have lunch in the middle of religion, but since there was a test we had it after religion. Thus, I am here.

Oh my god how ridiculous were we?

I'm procrastinating by typing this. I have two tests tomorrow and I haven't started studying yet. Between avoiding friend drama, university presentations, and dodging chunks of Spackle falling from the "Spackle queen's" spatula, I haven't had the chance.
My head hurts. I need supplies to satisfy the punctuation.

On a happy note, Supernatural is on tonight! I read the "info" thing. Apparently Sam is trying to keep Dean from dying. Again. He's already been dragged down to hell by vicious demon dogs, dragged up by an angel and now he's facing death again! Poor Dean.

I'm off to ... "Summarize some of the arguments for the existance of God."
...
Joyous thing for an atheist to do.

Bulls in Brooklyn

Some people have it, and other people don't.


I would like to now catch up anyone who might be reading this on the drama in my life. Also, it's good for me to have it somewhere accessible in case I end up forgetting something.

Something happened between Lor and Bree. I'm really not sure what anymore, it seems worlds away from now. Oh man, that is really going to annoy me all night now. I'm going to be thinking about it all night. Why did they get mad in the first place?

I remember something about Bree not being appreciated and Lor being rude or something. Bree vented to me and Becca like usual. We were feeling a little underpressure because the venting was happening more often because Bree is a paranoid person, as she will admit, and was afraid that Lor would say something behind her back to us. So then Lor tried not to vent because Becca and I were talking about it and trying to catch each other up at lunch and Lor walked in or something.
I don't know how much of that is real memory or just jammed together. Aha...
I'm so lame.

Anyways, Lor had just broken up with her boyfriend Taylor for some reason and then was all gloomy because Alysha [someone I really do not like who is also still Lor's friend for some unknown cause] told Lor that Taylor and her were talking online. Alysha and Taylor had made plans to uhm, get intamate, that Wedensday during when our concert choir practice is.
Yet another reason for me to dislike that utterly wrinkle filled saggy child.
Oh man I'm such a biznatch.
Now Lor was trying to pull it off as a "if he needs to screw her to get over me, I'm fine with it." She was obviously hurting. Well, maybe not obviously. But her hurting made me hurt.
I found out on that Wedensday that Lor was already dealing with someone else and had made out with some other guy within the first two months of her and Taylor's relationship.
What a silly darling.

ANYWAYS! Bree was telling Becca about how she couldn't wait to tell Taylor the dirt she had on Lor, but then Becca told her they had broken up a few days earlier. I really didn't like the fact that she was serious. That's just plain biznatchy.
Lor topped it though.
As I said, and Bree will admit, she is a paranoid person. She went out with her friend Steph and vented about how Lor was being really rude and giving her dirty looks and such.

I really don't know what happened, but this is what my impression is.

So Steph got all "no she didn't!" and posted on Lor's facebook to leave Bree alone. Lor politely and forcefully replied that she hadn't done anything wrong and her and Bree's problems weren't much of her business. As far as I know, it ended there.

Lor has been hanging out with a girl named Jaime lately.

Now, my history with Jaime is a whole other very long story. But I feel bad about saying the things I did at Lor's birthday during everyone's venting. Mainly for the way it came out. I do not hate the girl, I just don't really want to hang with her. We are friends in a very loose term. I don't have much trust in her. That doesn't mean I'll be all rude to her. I really like having idle chit chat, saying hello in the halls and asking how her day went and all that. That's fine. Sadly, she doesn't realize this. Yesterday she said she loved me.
Awkward.

Anyways, Lor has been hanging out with her lately. Jaime never liked Bree, and Bree doesn't like Jaime because of her history. Actually Jaime did like Bree, during the Waterfront festival when Hedley played.
They are exellent live. Jacob wore a super man costume.
Anyways, they don't like eachother. Jaime really doesn't like Bree now because of Lor venting. Lor thinks that Bree has or is harrassing her on facebook. I'm thinking she's just over reacting to what Steph said. Typed. Whatever. SO, Jaime has started to harrass Bree in the halls at school. You know, the whole dirty look, talk shit about you when you're right there, and then get up in your face with randomness then laugh and walk away. Last week Bree got her email account hacked, and the person talked to Becca. Started talking "smack."
Bree isn't one to take these sort of things likely. She went to the school, telling them about Jaime's bullying and such. The school told her the account hacking was a matter for the police, which it is because it is illegal to do that, and the school is supposed to go through with her about it. It's called cyber bullying.

Jaime got called down to the office this Monday in regards to her harassment towards Bree. The next day Lor sat with Jess in Writers Craft. (The usual seating is Becca and Lor in front, and me and Jess behind. We have a nice seating arrangement.) So I figured she just wanted to talk to Jess about something and sat next to Becca. Half way through the class we were talking about food and I started to sing the Banana song during the little break we had after and turned around to share my lovely tune with Lor. She just kinda smiled and went back to drawing and I asked her what she was drawing and she said she got bored and started doodling a person.
Then she asked why Jaime got sent down to the office yesterday.
Becca came in at that point and asked if that was why Lor was mad at her. Lor said yes. (It occured to me then that that was why she didn't sit next to Becca.) I explained that Bree has been harrassed by Jaime in the halls and stuff and that Jaime is her main suspect for the hacker because of the harrassment and the fact that Jaime has a history with that sort of thing. Lor started to get angry and saying that Jaime hadn't been bullying her. And we said, yeah she has been. (Verbal, not physical) We started to explain that it was really stupid thing for her to do because Bree was involving the police and Lor could get expelled.
She said she didn't care.

Lor then stated that it was her, not Jaime, who had hacked Bree's account. I didn't quite process the information. I told her she didn't have the ability to do that. She said she got someone else to do it for her. Becca started to tear up and was trying not to cry, because earlier she was worried that Lor was involved in it and didn't want her to get in trouble with the police. She asked Lor if she did have anything to do with it, and Lor straight up told her she didn't. Becca had her back to Lor, and so did I until three minutes later when the bell rang. Then Lor sauntered over and started to attack Becca who told her she didnt think she could be friends with someone who would go that low. Lor said "were you ever really my friend?"

Then I stepped in and sorta pushed Lor away from Becca from standing between them, Becca who was already in tears from earlier, and told her to "walk away, now." I repeated that a few times, and after three times I gave her a slight shove on the arm when I was replied with "Don't tell me what to do." I couldn't really think straight because I was still processing the whole "My always innocent best friend just hacked into my other best friends account just to start beef." So I just kept repeating "walk away, now." I think Jess kinda eased Lor out the door at that point.
Poor Jess, getting dragged into things. I'll thank/appologise to her tomorrow. If I see her, considering we don't have classes for the University presentations.

I then tried to sooth Becca a bit and held her hand as we went to our lockers to grab our books for religion. Lor has her locker next to mine, and shares with Becca. Becca went to talk with Bree, and Lor turned around and said something that I really don't remember. I remember it as more anger issues, and I said "No, not after what you just said to Santi." (Santi = Becca) We then witnessed Jaime appologising to Bree about the whole "in her face thing" and how she didn't mean it as a mockery, even though she was laughing. Bree accepted it sort of and then we went off down the hall. Becca said it was just because she's afraid of being suspended. Bree and I both agreed, but thought it was a step up of from ripping her apart verbally.

During lunch Becca recieved text messages from Lor appologising and asking if they could go to macs after school to sort things out. She admitted that she had blown up and said some stupid things. Becca told her that she needed time to cool off.

All throughout today I ended up avoiding talking to Lor. Leaving after second period didn't help that very much, but I had some major cramps. (Being female sucks) I wasn't really avoiding her though. It was just awkward to start a conversation, and she never did. So it ended up as me avoiding her I think.

Nikki called me today after choir (which I missed due to cramps) and said that she was the only one there for our part. In the fifty person choir Tori, Lor, Nikki and I have a part in Auld Lange Syne for ourselves. Tori was sick this morning too, but I think Lor just ditched due to too much of her own beef. Nikki asked what was up, because Lor also said she wasn't coming to our annual Halloween party due to "personal issues." I explained everything in this VERY long blog to her that she didn't already know.

By the way, Alysha and Taylor never got together that day. At least for that purpose. Alysha told Lor that she couldn't go through with it because Lor was her friend. If she really was her friend, she wouldn't have even thought about it. She wouldn't have even been in the conversation with her friends ex that would lead to that. Wrinkles.

My finger really itches. I don't know why, but it does.

Light the flame

My name is Amelia, and my full name is in alphabetical order.
I am nicknamed hoe legs.
No, you can't call me that.
Why?
Because you're lame.


I made this blog to vent and to tell about my life. (Yeah, I know it's boring. Deal with it.) I called it "Burning down neverland" for simple reasons. One, I wanted it to be something out of an Anberlin lyric. Two, my neverland is engulphed in flames right now. I am stuck in the middle of being too young or too old for everything. I'm going to be seventeen when I enter College/University next year. My parents never seem have time to listen and actually help. My best friends hate each other, and I am often dragged into the middle of it. Either for protection of another, or as the "choose sides."

How immature can people be?

I love these people, but sometimes I just want to stuff them into a microwave and leave it on high for twenty minutes. Then I feel guilty and end up being the "nice" child in all of it and then tell them what they need to hear the next day. Which, often enough, is too late.
Hate me, hate me, hate me, for every honest word that you postponed.
