I can't really figure it out. I think my relationships with guys are really fucked up. I really can't just get into my head that a friendship is a friendship, a flirtation is a flirtation, and a relationship is a relationship. To me they all mix together to form one big blob. And the guys all mix into this big blob, creating nothing but a big mess. I don't show any other deeper feelings, even if I might have them.
Flirting is not always as cute as it seems.
Al's a guy friend though. And we dont' flirt. But problem is then, those relationships get boring and I abandon them quickly. I love playing games, I love having some kind of tension in my life.
And why is that?
I love to complain.
And why is that?
No one knows, unanswered questions can boggle my mind all they want. But I don't really give a damn, I can't change that fact. Maybe for once just leave it the way it is.

I'm the scape goat of the class, but only to the teachers. What happened to me? All the teachers at Edgemont loved me, loved me. Even with Mrs. A I had no real bad blood. I was charming I was cool.
Now I'm just a miserable little girl, with a mouth full of diahrea. That's another good thing about America, they love extroverts. The louder you are, the better.
But here it seems different, reserved and mysterious are respected so much more. But I'm not gonna change myself for these people, or could you call them people. They're teachers.
My attention span is really short too I've noticed lately. But that might be because there are so many new things to be discovered.

I'm blabbering again aren't I...?

Im off.

What's wrong with me? I have to always butt into something, can't just leave myself out of it.
I guess when something is mine I get very pocessive, and I can't seem to share with others. Maybe those 10 years of feeling and acting like an only child really were damaging.
He's not even mine, but I feel that when he is my friend, I better keep him close by because he could be a potential hookup, and I don't want to ruin that shot. I'm just desperate for any kind of male attention I suppose.
We're just friends though, and I don't even want him as anything else and he deoesn't want me. But it just seems like an unavoidable thing. I think he is attractive to a certain extent.

We're all just filled with hormones anyway, we can't control ourselves!

:: Music: Keane- Bend and Break

Updating just for anyone who cares
Let me just say the Keane CD is really amazing. To all you kiddies with iPods, I got you, you don't need to buy CD's, but then download it- it's very soothing. After watching nothing but MTV for so long (there is absolute crap tv here), it's so nice to just kick back and listen to something nice, with an actual message.
Things are going well. I've realized the amount of patience I pocess, is extremely limited. I live my life on the fast track, and I'm not about to slow down for anyone, anytime soon.
That is why it annoys me that he drags it out. Love is supposed to be such a simple thing. Oh, simple thing where have you gone? You like me, I like you- let's do it. Do somethin'! I don't see the hold up, and I don't doubt your feelings towards me, it's pretty obvious.
For once I just want this one to work out. I'm ready for commitment, and I know I'm only 16 and probably extremely naive, but this is what I want. Who knows if I'll get bored of it as soon as it starts. But for once, give me what I want. Give me what I deserve! I have earned this.
I'm gonna stop putting so much pressure on you, if that's what you need. All I'm saying is the train is leaving the station soon, so you better hurry up and get on! There's only so much a simple girl can take!
Yesterday was a sad day. For the first time, I've realized how much social interraction I need to keep me going. There is no way I will ever live alone, I'm simply not suited for that. Just watch, in 50 years I'll either be dead and gone, or I'll still be partying it up with the cool old people of the world. But anyway, if I don't see a friend for a day I get all sad and depressed, and I start thinking.
I honestly think, thinking is bad for you. I think so much bad shit, I never think positively, I never think realistically. I convince myself of my own lies, and then believe them and make them come true in the end. I really do live in my own world sometimes, maybe that's why Jack and I get along so well... Hmm something to think about.
I can't separate thoughts from dreams either, I forget what is real because I can't stop dreaming. I've become a dreamer during the night, fighter during day. My mind has turned to haze, purple foggy haze. I don't even know if I want to get out of it.
I kind of like my world.

Going to a movie tonight with Manon, Al, Viv, Frankie, Jordi, and Jack- should be fun. We'll all have to make our own fun now that half the school is in fucking Austria on ski trip. I'm glad I didn't go though, who am I kidding? I can't ski and I don't have insentive to either...
But of course Jordi will not make a move, because he is "shy" or whatever and wants to take it "really slowly" whatever that means. I'm getting sick of it already, and can he really blame me for calling him an asshole? I don't know.

I love him anyway, and I consume him the way I consumed my turqouise pack of cigarettes this Thursday.

You know it,

confused
I know I say this so reptitively- but I don't get guys and I never will. Even these healthy crushes, the ones that actually seem like they are non obsessive and where the guy seems to like you back, go wrong. I fuck them up.
It boils down to me thinking too much. It started out as such a nice thing, at first I didn't even like him, then I thought he was a cool guy, then I got a crush on him, and now I'm obsessed. I can't just chill I obsess about him way too much. I'm so aware of his presence at school.
My worst problem is that I don't want to seem desperate, because that's exactly what I am. I don't want him to get annoyed by me.
I feel he is giving me mixed signals, one day he'll be so nice and the next he will seem stubborn and uninterested. I can't deal with mood swings. I need something constant with my life.
And all this time I thought he was gonna be the one chasing me, turns out I'm hunting him down.
And I hate how he is so innocent and pure, so unused. Brand new. Inexperienced. Whatever you want to call it. Mostly I don't like it, because I don't know what to do with it.
All I'm saying is, I do like you, and supposedly you like me...

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

I have accepted the facts. I'll never be able to have a reasonable conversation with him, about anything meaningful. Maybe I should just stop trying to fit a square into a circle, which I know is such a cliche, but that's what I am doing.
And maybe it's not all in my imagination, maybe he really is trying. He wants to take me to rhe movies, he's constantly arranging things for me, but maybe that's because he feels like he should be doing things, I don't know.
I just don't know.
All I know is that the relationship between me and my dad will never be what I want it to be, but I've learned to accept it more, I think being here in the actual physical and mental presence. And it really isn't all that bad.
I have a great mom don't I? Yeah, I do. I love her and she is amazing, supportive, and great in so many ways, and maybe I don't have a great dad, but at least I don't have to average parents, or two parents that should have gotten divorced a million years ago. My parents actually divorced in good time, and good spirit, and yeah my life so far has been a little different and confusing and not very constant but I've learned so much in so little time, and seen so much and I guess I have a nice, broad perspective on everything.
Maybe for once we should just be thankful for what we have, and not think about the things we don't have.

It's in this instance that I am so thankful, that I kept myself grounded, at least to a certain extent. I've all been the poster child for "you can be happy without good grades." I hope Mr. Alter made you all realize that it isn't what makes you happy, just because you won't get into that specific school you wanted to, who cares? Don't beat yourself up over it. You can still achieve whatever you want to achieve. And all these bullshit "dreams", most of don't do anything about them.
Live in the present. It scares me to death that we are always rushing, rushing rushing. We're always looking forward to something else, we can never just relax and live in the moment, and enjoy that moment. Not only in school. Like when I went to Texas I had been so excited for so long, and it was amazing don't get me wrong- but I kept fearing the end of the trip, limiting my enjoyment of the experience. It really scares me, the thought of never fully enjoying anything.
I don't think the reason we're put on this earth is to create a cure for cancer, it's to discover ourselves and discover our dreams. To help others. To relate to others. I've been through some shit you haven't, and you've been through stuff I haven't, and we can help eachother that way. Life is tough, but a blind life is tougher.
I will live in the moment from now on, yeah it's easy to say. But that is what I will strive for. I will enjoy every second. Yeah, I'm moving and that has been all on my mind lately. But especially now, towards the end of this experience, I need to slow down time and just BREATHE.

Yeah ok
I really do think that saying is true. Opposites do attract. I don't think you can have a good, healthy relationship with someone who is like you, personality wise. I know this guy, we're like two drops of water, he's my equal, and so on. We constantly snap at eachother and get into stupid little fights.
That's why it would never work out, we're too alike. We'd drive eachother up the wall.
I have 13 days to do it now. I have 13 days to get my hands on him. He's so hot. I don't know why but he is. And I fully intend on using him as the item he deserves to be, if only we weren't in Edgemont- I could have had him by now.
It's never gonna happen.
Why do I feel drunk right now? I didn't have anything. I don't get it. So many mysteries out there.
School will be another dissapointment tomorrow, it always is. I always expect so much from school, from friends, just from things in general but it never works out that way.
And it's true, things come when you least expect them. They sneak up on you.
That's why I think I might get lucky in Holland, lucky in the sense as in NOT a one night hook up. Because of course it has to work out that I find someone good, in the midst of the shitload of school work I'm gonna have.
But maybe I'll actually be busy then...?
We'll see.

I still don't like Bush.

It's so weird how many people just drift out of your life. Especially guys, I don't know if that's just because I am behaving like a whore these days. But still, all these guys that I used to be so close to, maybe about a month ago, I don't talk to anymore. And we didn't even drift away, like you sometimes do with friends, we just STOPPED and it ended from one day to the other. It wasn't a process at all.
And it's weird, still referring to boys, that you can have such strong feelings for someone and then a month later, you almost forgot about him. But I guess that's just one of those things that helps you distinguish between love and like.
I miss Texas more than anything. I miss the guys, whom I won't even remember a month from now (there you see it) but mostly I miss my family. Family is such a powerful thing, and I think I deserve it. I always had crappy family, all old toothless mean people. Now I finally got what I think I deserved all along, a family that loves me unconditionally.
Things are really weird now. 17 days, 17 days, 17 days it keeps ringing in my head. What can I say? Make the best of it I guess. But that's so hard to say. It's impossible to live like that sometimes. There are very few from this place I'll miss, and that makes me so sad. I wish I had made long life friends here, but I didn't- it didn't work that way, I can't reset time.
What else... I am dreading going to a new school. Not having to make new friends, that's a piece of cake- I'm so used to that. I am dreading the work. I have never had to work very hard, not because I am smart or anything, but because there was never actually a "goal". Everyone here has that "goal", it being "get into college". I never had that, I knew I was never going to college here so it wasn't even a concern.
But when I get there, I have to strive to try to get into law school or journalism school, because my final exam (kinda like the SAT's) needs to be sky high.
That doesn't mean I'll be stressed, I'll just need to manage my things more carefully than I do now.

Thas it for now.

God, how I love Woohu sometimes. If I were to write any of this on my xanga, it would blow up in my face, and I would be getting weird looks in the hallway by a certain someone.
I don't know what happened. We were all touchy feely on Halloween, and we probably would have hooked up, if we hadn't both been stubborn at different times during the night.
And fuck this day off! It has done nothing but harm to my thought process. This day to help me supposedly "collect my thoughts" has just put my brain on crack, and I'm dreading a re-boot situation. Just start the whole thing over. Even though I'm not sure if I really messed up.
I feel us drifting apart, and it becoming akward between us. The thing is, I don't even like him, I just thought we could be really good friends- and maybe now he thinks I do like him? And maybe now he's freaking out cause he doesn't like me that way and he thinks I does? It's all very confusing and this is making me look like a stupid girl with too many emotions.
I've been telling myself different things I should do all day. I still don't have a clue what the fuck I am gonna do with this situation.
I could play the "I'm ignoring you" game, and totally ignore him, not even look at him and just play mean but I don't know if I could do that- because I thought he was cool, and I thought we were friends. I don't know if I could put up a wall like that, and it wouldn't be natural- because simply that's not how I feel.
I could confront him on the whole thing and just explain what I'm feeling and why I'm upset. But I'm scared of doing that because he might just ignore it or think I'm crazy. And that would be putting myself on the line, which could end up either saving me or totally destroying me. I'd be so fucking vulnerable.
Then there's the last option- I could act like nothing happened and just flash a smile at him tomorrow, and just be my usual self. I don't know if I could do that, and that might seem fake- in his eyes and mine.
There you see... Totally stuck, no idea what to say or do.
I would like to just say "Fuck him", but do I really mean that? We had fun, I wish we could just be good friends. Is that impossible for a guy. Or is that simply impossible for me because he has a dick, and I think I have to hit on every dick that comes around?

Guys confuse me all the time, even when it only has to do with friendship. I think we really might be different creatures, and maybe men do come from Mars and women from Venus. God, this is crap- we should all just turn lesbian!

I'm right here!
