  • I miss you, you know.

    Because I have literally nothing better to do with my life, I decided to update my Xanga. I apologize to anyone who may stumble across this, or who did in the past, for my bitching, whining, and overly dramatic rants. I'm moderately disgusted by them now, and I'm glad to say I've grown up. So let's make this just like the old days. Here's a survey.

    Which would be more meaningful to you: I love you a lot, I love you so much?
    I love you so much.

    When you find pretty feathers on the ground, do you keep them, even though they're probably all diseased?
    I leave them because my mom always told me they're diseased. That, and I hate birds.

    Do you remember song names or song lyrics better?
    Both, probably. I'm obsessive with lyrics. And titles just come.

    Do you prefer to call or text?
    It depends who I'm talking to and what needs to be said.

    Does seeing girls with fried hair make you worry about using your straightener?
    No, it makes me laugh, because they look ridiculous. And I know how to take care of my hair, thanks very much.

    Does it piss you off that stupid sixth graders think they're in love?
    Yes, because they're being, as it was previously said, stupid.

    Do you like when people play with your hair?
    Depends who and what they're doing. Usually, no.

    When was the last time you completely broke down?
    When Jose was leaving and I realized that school was over and everything ended already.

    When's the last time you puked?
    March. Do you want the date too? I know that. I hate hate hate hate hate throwing up.

    Absolutely.

    Who did you last say "i love you" to?
    I don't know. One of my parents, probably.

    Probably Shannon or my dad or someone. I don't know. Ask them.

    What made you sad today?
    The funeral we went to. For obvious reasons?

    Do you think Lil Wayne is the best rapper alive?
    Lol.

    What will you be doing in 3 hours?
    Probably sitting here like I am now.

    Is there one person in your life that can always make you smile?
    More than one.

    How does your hair look?
    It looks good today. I straightened the gross I-let-this-dry-by-itself parts out, so we're good to go.

    Would you ever try being a vegetarian?
    Sure? I don't really eat many vegetables, but I don't eat much meat either.

    Do you hate being alone?
    Sometimes, but not usually.

    Anything you would change about your life right now?
    Eh.

    What's something you really want right now, be honest ?
    And I would allow for that to be online....why?

    Are you easy to get along with?
    That depends who you're asking.

    Where is the biggest scar on your body?
    Most significant/noticeable, the one on my knee. Not necessarily the biggest, though.

    Are you serious?

    Do you like being around a large group of friends, or two best friends?
    Two best friends for sure.

    I fell asleep on the couch at like midnight.

    Bon Jovi.

    No, because as I previously mentioned, I hate throwing up.

    Have you lost contact with someone you wish you didn't?
    Yes. :(

    Are you a patient person?
    LOL.

    What's your favorite smell?
    The smell I associate with some of my friends. And the beach. And rain.

    What are you thinking about right now?
    I'm thinking about how I'm going to answer this question, what the fuck.

    Is there someone you just can't imagine your life without?
    Yeah, of course.

    Do you have a good relationship with your parents?
    Yes. I wish it were better, but I know it's a lot better than what most people can say.

    Do you like the ocean?
    Of course.

    Have you ever in any way, been abandoned/betrayed by someone you trust?
    Yeah, but not recently. I've gotten better at picking the right people to trust.

    If you were a crayon what color would you be?
    I don't know. I hate questions like this.

    Have you ever fired a gun?
    Nope. I'm afraid of the kickback. Bones would definitely break.

    What color are the walls of the room you are in?
    Like. Tan-ish brown or something? I don't know. It's the kitchen.

    Have you ever dyed your hair an unnatural color?
    Never. I will never ever ever color my hair as long as it stays the way it is now.

  • thanks for the memories....even though they weren't so great.

    So I haven't updated this in a really long time. And you know there's something for me to say when I update this.

    School is finally over. This has been the worst year of my life. And I'm not even exaggerating. It sickens me. Everyone's heard about the English teacher issue. The permanent sub....started out fine. Before we knew it, it felt like we were being treated like 5 year olds. It was such nonsense, I stopped even pretending to listen. World cultures just got worse and worse. My record for latest night due to world cultures was 3:30. Great. I was literally failing chemistry at one point. I can't seem to understand why my class gets to be the last class who has the most ridiculous teachers right before they retire. But it's the honest truth. I honestly could not be happier to see summer finally come.

    This summer kind of sucks. You wouldn't think it would at all. After such a shitty year, with all the new movies that are coming out, with the Harry Potter insanity in July, with the learning to drive, it's seemingly awesome. But, hi. Pessimist Claire has arrived. A huge majority of my friends are all out of town at the same time, many of them for weeks at a time. Sucks that this is the summer where we aren't going anywhere for more than a weekend. And believe me. There are like 492995 weekend trips that have been planned. Great. So basically, I'm by myself which is really awesome. And then there's the assload of summer homework that is currently collecting dust in the corner of my room. I refuse to even look at it. It makes me sick. Cool. Really  cool. I still don't understand why we're punished for being smart all year long AND in the summer too. Like 9 months of school isn't enough or something. Believe me. It's plenty.

    I recently asked myself why I've been attached to a senior for the past two years now. Last year was crazy. But there was only one. This year there were two which is double the fun, I guess. And that's really great. Well, they're absolutely amazing people. Don't get me wrong. But I never realized how much it sucks until we had the week when the seniors were done and we still had school. Oh my god. More dreadful than usual. Graduation hasn't hit me yet. It's been over two weeks. I'm really impressed cause last year I was a total wreck on FC graduation day. I've made it two weeks wiwth SF graduation and I'm okay....now. It'll hit me soon. I'm waiting. Not like that's a thing to be excited for. I guess it's an added proof for me that these people mean everything and that I love them so much.

    People really disappoint me. I've had my share of ridiculous friends over the years, and I've thought someone had reached the highest of highs (or lowest of lows maybe?)on the NONSENSE scale. It absolutely kills me that a friend and I can be so close for what seems like a long time, but all of a sudden, I lose every ounce of respect and trust I had for them. It takes a lot for me to want to get rid of someone like that. Some people can say that they know that I'm too forgiving at times and will do anything to fix a friendship. But I never thought I would find someone that I'm just not willing to go that extra mile to be friends again. It's even more ridiculous when the person is completely oblivious to your thoughts about them. I'm really tired of broken promises too. Gosh. There are some people that I DO forgive too easily. Basically, people are the biggest disappointment ever.

    I don't know. It's bittersweet. Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life. Yeah, it is. Thanks, The Verve.

    THINGS THAT WILL HAPPEN THIS SUMMER

    1. Get money
    2. Learn to drive
    3. Get a car from repo man cousin

  • I knew I had won.

    I'm in such a foul mood. I can't shake it. The OC is done. Forever. I didn't really cry when I first watched it. But I watched it again today and cried my eyes out. Grey's Anatomy? Cried my eyes out. Cried my FUCKING eyes out and couldn't stop. Best friend things make me really sad these days.

    But on a more serious note, I'm so confused about things. Like being Catholic. I don't understand a lot of the faith. Does that make me un-Catholic? Am I not worthy then? I don't agree with so many things. That's so wrong. You might as well send me to Hell. Isn't that how it goes in this religion?

    I don't believe in purgatory. Oh no. Stop blessing yourself, guys. Hear me out. What is the point of the halfway between Earth and Heaven place? Seriously, what the fuck? It's like judgement zone. If God can see you at all times and knows your every thought and every movement, why does your membership in Heaven need to be determined at all? I remember being at my aunt's funeral when I was 4. Yes, I remember. But I remember people telling me to pray for my aunt who was in a coma for 20 years I think so that she could get to Heaven. Um. Why? If she doesn't get enough prayers, she'll be stuck in purgatory forever? Please, enlighten me here. I will be so happy if someone explains the point of this to me.

    Give up something for Lent. Are you serious? Does anybody else do that? I think not. Because you'll ask someone what they gave up for Lent and they'll be like, "Oh I'm not Catholic." Therefore, it's a Catholic thing. I understand how you're telling me that it's a sacrifice like Jesus sacrificed for us. Is giving up chocolate seriously going to equate to anything near to a Christlike sacrifice? I think not. I guess it's the idea of giving up something to make you realize it. But then it's the "Well there are 40 days from Ash Wednesday to Easter minus the Sundays so you can cheat on Sunday." What the fuck is that? Did Jesus say, "Oh guys it's Sunday. Worship me. I'm gonna stop my sacrificing today." Something tells me the answer to that is a big fat NO. But, if you look at a calendar, the first Sunday in Lent (tomorrow) until Easter is exactly 40 days. So technically, Ash Wednesday through the first Sunday, go for the chocolate, soda, and whatever else you gave up.

    What is CONFESSION? Why do we have the sacrament of Reconciliation? Why do we have to go to church and talk to the priest from behind a screen thingy and tell him what we've done wrong in order to be forgiven? I think it makes much more sense for you to ask God for forgiveness yourself. That's what everyone else does. We have to go to church and go through the prayers and whatever the priest sentences you to do to make up for your sins. That's a tiny bit ridiculous. Again, if God knows your every thought and action, why is it necessary?

    There are so many more things in Catholicism that I think are completely ridiculous. But I could never switch faiths no matter what I say. Both sides of my family have been Catholic literally forever. I could never break that tradition. Every time I go to church, I think that I should really make an effort when I'm older and have a family of my own to go to church every Sunday/Saturday/whenever we'd decide to go. But then I realize the bogus that I put up with to this point and would never want to put anyone through that. It scares me though. The Catholic church scares you into coming. You're afraid that if you don't come enough, you won't go to Heaven. Please shut up. It is a dominating faith though. I like that. Everything's just blown out of proportion, which clearly irritates me. Seeing the Stations of the Cross (Should that be capitalized like that? It seemed appropriate.) scares me. Crucifixes scare me. I don't want to see dying Jesus on a cross, thanks. "Peace be with you" is scary when you're near old people but awesome when you get a hot guy (like tonight). A hug/hand shake from a complete stranger? I guess the idea is that you're not strangers because you're both from God or whatever. Mass is like an exercise program. Up, down, kneel. It's jenuflect, kneel, sit, stand, sit, stand, kneel, stand. Over and over again. My knees actually hurt right now because I can't do that stuff anymore. The chanting is creepy. Seriously, if I weren't Catholic and I walked past a group of them chanting the Our Father, I'd burst into tears. It's frightening. I want to get a huge congregation of Catholics to break out the Apostles' Creed or something. It's....weird. I don't know. I don't believe in a lot and I really want to but can't. It's hard.

     

    Not to mention the fact that I'm really prone to tears these days. Watch your back.

  • Wow I'm already updating again? Some shitty stuff must be going on.

    I am so sick. Not in the "Oh get me drugs I'm dying" sick either. I am so sick of everything. Fed up. Done with it all. I need a vacation.

    I am so dreading the end of this school year while at the same time I'm counting the seconds. This is the most miserable school year of my life. But I have so many senior friends this year. Not just at my school either. I knew this year would be tough without the 06 seniors. And I think some aspects were harder for me than others. But this will be really hard with the seniors from my school. It's ridiculous that most of my friends are older than me. SUCKS. Maybe it will be easier for me because I'm expecting the worst. This year was full of thousands of instances where I was mislead...misled? Whatever. It's gonna be rough. The people that are leaving are the people that brighten my day the most and make me really happy. I don't know. I don't like to think about it but it's always in the back of my mind. Our school will go downhill so quickly when they walk out those doors for the very last time. Once the last one is out, we'll basically be handed over to.....the devil. Think of the worst thing. That's what we'll be dealing with.

    People and their boyfriends are SO stupid. Let me rephrase that. GIRLS and their boyfriends are SO stupid. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone. But I honestly don't want to hear you gushing about them 24/7. I hope you'd never take a boyfriend over your friends either. That's just ridiculous. Don't you even say something like I wouldn't understand. I do understand. I understand how to treat people especially those who are my friends. Maybe it's a jealousy thing that I'm holding over all taken people at the moment. Probably not though. I want a fucking boyfriend of my own.

    I have so many worries on my mind at once. It can't be healthy for someone to be this worried and stressed this young. I realize how I'm way too young for so much of this. I'm not ready. As I look at myself in the mirror right now, the glasses and braids staring back at me are the only proof that I need to see that my life is going way too fast. David Early was right. Flowing is most definitely necessary. People are assuring me about some things that are gonna go down really soon...within the next few months. They're telling me that it's gonna go my way. I love the fact that people are supporting to me. But I can't let it get to me. I can't get confident. I'm also way too shy and have this problem where I'd rather do something in front of complete strangers than my best friends. Please explain that one. I don't make sense to myself. I have procrastination issues. I have issues with detesting people. I honestly need a reality check or something.

    I continue struggling without you know who. It breaks my heart thinking of what we used to be and realizing how things have changed. People say that distance brings you closer. Bullshit, you fucking asshole. It separates you even more because you don't know anything about each other anymore and you don't know what to talk about. I don't like searching for things to say. It's really sad to think that just a few months ago, I basically had a coronary when I didn't get a text in one day. It happened today. Well, technically it was yesterday. It's 1:40. But what I'm saying is that it doesn't even phase me anymore. There was a week with no talk whatsoever. Not to mention how upset I still am. I know things. I can find out. Don't put it past me. Noopur knows what I'm talking about.

    I just don't really know anymore. I would love for things to go in the right direction for once. Please. It's funny how life goes from being amazing to miserable so quickly. I hate it. I HATE it.
