I laughed so very hard. Well, it was more of a manly grunty laugh. I loved him in the movie. He wore cutoff shorts and he was downright hick-creepy.

5 months ago: I was being a dumb kid
5 years ago: I was a big nerd and liked horrible music, and had horrible friends

i hurt: a lot
i love: music, movies, 80s, cozy beds, body piercing, TV
i hate: what happened awhile ago
i fear: him never knowing, but that's not a fear, just a little nagging
i hope: too much
i feel alone: when i'm on the bus in the morning
i break: things when i'm clumsy
i listen: to everything
i hide: my true feelings sometimes
i drive: my feet onto the school bus
i breathe: music
i play: music
i miss: being little
i learn: not to think about it
i feel: ignored
i know: nothing of importance
i say: things that hurt people
i dream: of crazy stuff (ie: i was zack from saved by the bell in a neon shirt that said the word EMOTION on the front)
i want: everything
i fell: up the stairs
i wait: for the day i need not to rely on everyone else's pity
i need: crack

the guy (lane's new boyriend, soon) from gilmore girls is adam brody. he played in the "crush" episode of smallville, shut up steph. he's cute. i like him. it's the argyle and the music. and his whole...attitude. i love how she's like "it's okay..I LOVE YOU" hee. adam brody is a WB manwhore. i think i failed my socio test today. muaha. christina is now "squeegie." i have a starting headache. maybe i'll write a lot more later on...tomorrow.

i'm so tempermental. who told me today that they liked reading this? ahh, yes. the same person who said we had pajama day today and I DRESSED IN PAJAMAS (fortunately, i wisely removed them and put on my uniform just in case)

*   You're so silly, Nanny! 3:50:18 PM    * *       *

jen's coming over. i'm so friggen tired and bored and angry and sad. yet, i know, as soon as jen gets here, i'll be happy. i probably won't be faking either. when people i like come around, my spirit just goes up. i like that. but frankly, i really do just want to crawl into bed and cry right now. i'm listening to rick springfield. but i feel like listening to REm - everybody hurts. but i know if i do, i'll start crying. UHG I HATE THIS!%

Me having witty banter? That's a laugh and a half.

i asked shane on the bus today why he wasn't going to the 80s dance. his answer was a full-blown rant.

"why would i go to a social event? where there's music that i hate? people that i hate? people DRUNK and STONED that i hate? girls that are practically humping guys right on the gym floor, to some stupid songs? and do they play good music? NO. they would never play dead kennedys. MAYBE they would play the ramones, but it would only be that - eh oh, lets go - song. so tell me WHY i would want to spend a perfectly good night crowded around by slutty, stoned girls and drunk, dumb guys? i wouldn't! i'd rather spend that time with my girlfriend, having a decent time instead of 'dancing' to crappy music with crappy people."

my only rebuttal was the music part. but that's it. i agreed with the slutty, drunk, stoned people part.

shane's straight edge. i find that cool. i told him that. he was still ranting though. my stomach hurts. i love the part in the wedding singer, when jon lovitz's is behind a red curtain (after robbie's "hardcore" song) and he's all "he's losing his mind...and i'm reaping the benefits..." and he grins creepily and the curtain closes. that is so my favourite part right there. even the guy on dinner & a movie said so. muah.

I don't feel like talking to some specific people. So I'm very monosyllabic to them, and they're worried I'm depressed or not feeling well? NO. I just don't feel like talking to you. I think you suck right now. You're probably a cool person, but I really don't feel like having the usual witty banter with you right now. Or at all today.

why do they have to flaunt it
does he not even know
how horrible it makes me feel

prince's version

Dream if you can
A courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and you

my versoin

A dream of a can
A courtyard
Of oceans and villums in bloom
Animals like cheerios, oh
They feel the heat
The heat between me and you

I'm a dick.

What kind of punk kid are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

I'm not "emo". I thought I was for awhile because I own like five cool pins, and I shop at Goodwill. But then I realized, the only reason I shop there is because of yes, the amazing finds you get there, and the cost. I'm probably the cheapest person ever. I hate spending more than $30 on one item of clothing. When, at Goodwill, you can get like eight jackets and five shirts for that much. Yeehaw. And the only "emo" band I listen to is maybe Ash (I don't know if they are) or Dashboard. I don't limit myself to just a variety of bands. If ANY type of category, I'm 80s girl. That's ALL I listen to. I'm telling you. There's no way I'm "emo." And the whole "emo" music? Almost EVERY song by ANY artist is emotional, albeit the fact that techno/shallow pop has no meaning. So c'mon.

Where's my Sunday TBS Superstation Molly Ringwald movies when I need them! Because Ashley and I aren't going to Goodwill today anymore. She has homework that will take her to about 3 pm, and Goodwill closes at 5. Mother.
