Lonely
Dude, im lost. I didnt even realize how "gone" i was untill my teachers brought it up. Other ppl realized something was wrong before me, im just now getting it. Some ppl are calling it post traumatic stress.... i guess thats possible. I dont know. All i know is, is that im at a really low point.

I have never truely felt lonely. I feel like ive lost some of the closest ppl i have. I lost my two best friends in a matter of weeks, my guy pillars are practically gone.....i have no really close chick friends, my group is gone, fun is gone, my confidence that came from my group is gone, i have ppl at school but i need more. My family is here, but there are troubles there too. Is this was depression feels like? The feeling of wondering why you wake up everyday, go to school, come home, do hw, and go to bed. There is stuff here and there but thats basically it.

I guess what i lost most was Jer. He held me up and made everything ok. Thats gone, the on person that made life seems simple is gone, and i know in my heart im not getting him back. Its over.

The fun I speak of seems to have disappeared and ive slipped into an amiss. Im so low right now, and why isnt anyone breaking my fall? Is it my fault that no one really knows how deep down im hurt? Is it my fault no one knows that its not that "im tired" its that ive been crying.

I guess it all started w/ my parents getting separated, then together, then cheating, then mt grandmother dying slowly, then total mess w/ a guy friend, a "best friend" hurting me so fuckin much i cant even describe, the hurricane creating a complete and utter mess, the lose of the ppl i love, and soooo much more im not including. And now here i am, bottled up and so low.

Im not writing this for sympathy or replies or anything, id actually rather you not say anything if you do happen to read this. Just let it be.

IT WORKED! I KNEW IT!!!
Lmao I am so bipolar! After I wrote journal entry last night and I was all mad and upset, I talked to someone you all practically lothe! Anyway, normally he is the bad guy and the guy pushing me to bad things well......he is freakin reformed! YES! I knew he could! My project worked!!! He was amazing!!! He was sooo sweet and great! I can't even tell you the sweet things that occured but.....for the longest time he pushed me to do "bad" things. Now, he keeps me in line (because i was totally in the mood to do reckless things ) even though it was against what he really wanted. No odd remarks (like he is notorious for) and he was totally great! I dunno if i got through to him or what but........damn he is like perfect! YES!!!!! YES!!!!! Yay!!

Fuck All
Im pissed man! Dont you hate it when you are on a lil track right? And everything is going peachy and then all of a sudden your best train gets totally derailed and its a son of a bitch to clean up and it really hurts your tracks for some reason and its not supposed to because your made of steel right? But it still has some major scratches! I hardly doubt anyone will get this considering its a weird analogy but whatever, probably for the better.

Change
Young ppl relationships change so quickly, why is this? Is it good or bad? Why can't we ever make up our minds and stick w/ that? Why is it that once your ok w/ a sitiation it does a 180 on you? Its frustrating and tiresome. Is this everyones issues currently or just mine? ....just throwing some questions in the air.

Hell
All of my relationships are going to hell dammit!

Ummm mad
A word of advice to all men, dont go drinking to the point that you cant drive your damn date! It kinda pisses us off!

Im back and tonight
Im back in town, yay! if you wanna know about my night....go to www.woohu.com/~and its easier than me retyping it again. L8r

Family/Reno
Few days ago I hung out w/ the group and that was ok, ya'll were there so there is no use in getting into it. I flew into San Fran like 2 days ago, hung around and had an amazing dinner. San Fran has changed alot! Then yesterday we drove to Reno which wasnt so bad because I was reading a damn good book, Lance Amstrog's 1st book which is actually making me think aboutdoing a triatholon! Shocker i kno! Today was our memorial/family reunion where we basically sat around, told some stories, ate alot, no fights, a lil bordem but thats excpected, i went on a harly, fun stuff! Tomarrow we are hanging around here and then we are going back to San Fran to catch a flight! By the way, if you guys think floridas hot, THINK AGAIN! It scorching out here! Miss ya xoxoxoxo byes (if spelling and shit is wrong its this weird computer thingy, ill explain later) Byes!!

Last Night
Hello all !!! Last night included Ali, Michelle, Ginny, Nick (Ginny's cousin), and I. We all went out to this uber fun place that Michelle and Ginny had previouly found. The "dark room" is the most kickass place I've ever been, I love it there! I'm going to like recreate it in my room! It started out w/ Michelle, Ali, I, and some Senior. The Senior ended up leaving and ginny came in. LoL Michelle and I, and I'm sure Ali was hungry so we convinced them(Michelle and Ginny) to go get us food (that was a mistake!!!) Anyway Nick came him and we talked w/ him for a while, he seemed to be a pretty neato guy. :-) Anyway they returned w/ our food and we were "ready" to go so we went down and ate.

There was damn tomatos on my burger so that alone w/ many other items that were placed on Ali's and my bugers were splattered around us lol! Ginny had uber problems w/ that and walked all the way around the other side of the car to get her drink! lmao! Not to mention I was left w/out ice after attempting to throw it all down Ali's shirt, it was just too tempting! At this point Michelle and Nick read my lil...."story" for the first time which leads to a conversation about clits lol. Nontheless, it was getting late because our parents were being weird so we dropped off Ali and when I went in to use the restroom they drove around the block and didn't come back to pick me up for like 2 minutes, lol I just stood there, I don't know what they were doing! Anyways Michelle was the next to be dropped off and Ginny was probably happy because Michelle was the ringleader of yelling at her about how slow she was going and changing lanes, which obviously got me started! LoL we love you Ginny! I was then dropped off and Ginny spent the night at her grandma's house w/ Nick. That was just about it......xoxoxo love ya byes mwah!

home
well.....its 3 in th morn and im home, it was a good trip but im very grateful to be home again! i missed everything! :-) xoxox love you guys byes

Chicago
Okay....well Chicago was good.....shopping.....Northwestern.......Culunary Arts Institute or something (my cousin's choice). Great food! I compared Northwestern and Madison and shockingly I like Madison soooo much more!! But then again Madison was shown to me by family and i got inside storied about streaking,egging, frat houses, what buildings to climb, best places to drink, best parties, best places to eat, and stuff like that. For Northwestern no one was there and it was very pretty but it felt.......cold. I just didnt like the feel of it, which is odd. Anyway thats my lil update, alot more occured but i care about you guys and i dont want to bore you TOO much.....lol too late i know :-) Love you guys! Ill be back Monday! Hopefully we can all get together before everyone leaves again. XoxXoXo byes

Stuff...
ok quickly (one computer and a cousin that needs it too!). Ok......saw 12 stones and they kicked ass and Three Days Grace was pretty good, we met some pretty cool ppl but ya know nothing could progress because we dont live there. Anyway my cousin and i played soccer which was fun, i went to Madison today and i want to go to college there(more on that later). Im talking to April again which is interesting. The James shit is kinda continueing but not really...thank gawd. Im going to Chicago tomorrow which is frickin awesome, college hunting and shopping, my two fav things! :-) G2G love you all xoxoxo byes!

Summerfest
Well party today and concerts last night and tomorrow night! Ok lets start w/ last night, i saw Aphasia(www.aphasiaonline.com) totally loved them! My cousin and i went to see them because they were on before Trapt and they were pretty damn good! Really hot bass plaier!So ya go to their site and listen to their music, their cd comes out really soon. Then we moved up after listening to them and got to like the 7th row and listened to Trapt which was fucking amazing! They are one of my favs now which is slightly suprising. Lead singer is the only hot one though. But there was two really trashed guys that someone let in towards the end of the show and they kept falling off the bleachers and making everyone around them fall. At the very end they threw the drum sticks and my cousin almost got it! She touched it and the guy in front of her grabbed it! Dammit! Anyway we got home pretty early( 1 ish) and we had gone w/ my aunt and uncle so they gave us a ride home. Next, today my grandparents had their 70th B-day party and ppl were all around and i didnt wake up till it started lol! Anyway, the high points were getting along w/ my cousins and my cousins kinda hot friend which i was contimplating messing around w/ but he was too young. Anyway, it was a good bonding time lol. Then tomorrow my cousin and i are going to see Three Days Grace which should be pretty damn fun considering its the last day of Summerfest (meaning its going to be crazy) so yea.....ill update it once i see them of course. Nothing else too special, kinda errr about the car wash being moved all around but oh well, i cant do to much about it now. Love you guys! Cant wait to see you guys! I still haev to get another week of Madison and Chicago lol! Lots of shopping and colleges....wow so perfect hehe! Mwah xoxoxoxox byes

LaLaLaLa (lol so amanda)
Well here is my life....cooking cookies and baked goods by day and going to Summerfest and doing a lil partying at night. My cousin and i just went to see Flaw and Smile Empty Soul, they kicked ass! The only bad thing was that they had the crowd stand on like bleachers (all at the same height) so we couldnt be in a mosh pit but thats fine. My cousin Becky and i were standing in the Something Corporate crowd waiting for them to start and my mum called saying her plane was in early so we had to go before they started, but on the way we got to hear Drowning Pool a lil before we left! They were pretty fuckin good, too bad we didnt get to see the whole show! Anyway, as we were walking inbetween shows i ran into Heidi( one of two friends i have in WI) and it was fucking amazing! Summerfest is like a million ppl on a 2 week span of time and that was the only day she was going and we happened to be at the same concert! We chatted very quickly and unfortunatly got split up but thats ok, i can probably talk to her later. So we are going back on Friday to see either The Used, Trapt, or Dashboard Confessional. I think we are leaning towards Trapt and we will possibly go to Marron 5 before that. We will be w/ my uncle and aunt and you know what that means, free beer!!!! :-) And then we wil be there on the fourth of July, crazyist day by far, and see Three Days Grace. Anyway, hope the car wash works out.........and miss you guys alot! XoXoXoXo Mwah byes!

End of an Era
Mark it down in your planners and journals, the "James" era is over. It has taken... 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9.. months for someone very close and special to me(my best friend actually) to finally say "he is a scumbag/asshole and you deserve so much better, its time to cut your losses and get the hell out of the situation". well this time that person actaully made sence, so here i am, almost a year of my life....spent on something i have a dead feeling for now. it makes me contimplate all the movies ive watched saying "ive wasted years of my life on this person" and i can almost understand what they are talking about now. i never understood what they were speaking of, and now i do and i feel so terrible for all those pain-in-the-ass situations. this message isnt sent out for sympathy or empathy in some situations, its for all the people who begged me to move on months ago and said he wasnt anything special, and for all the people who had to hear ever inch of the story. thank you and im sorry i didnt listen a long time ago! i love you all and miss you guys ttyl xoxoxoxo bye

I love you all and can't wait to see ypu guys again, its been too long. Ill talk to you all individully later anyway. XoXoXo love you guys! byes!
