Fact #3:
I still have the majority of the McDonald’s toys I’ve gotten over the years - everything from Recess watches to the Madame Alexander dolls.

THE AP BIO EXAM
was not a trainwreck, but it still wasn’t exactly a breeze. A lot easier for me than normal tests and I recognized most of answers, since he gave us vague descriptions of the answers on a study guide. Gee, wish he went over all of what we needed to know for actual tests. Stress? Gone. Sort of. We’ll see how my grades go, hmph

* while driving, All My Life by Jay Rock playing *
Me: You know, this song is pretty wholesome.
Mom: You mean it's not bad compared to other rap music?
Me: Nah, I mean all it talks about is getting out of the ghetto.
Mom: No cussing?
Me: Nope -
Lil Wayne: .. Fuck wit a nigga, let go fuck wit some hoes / Hear them bitches screamin' like they stuck in a hole..
Me: Well just that part.
Mom: Oh okay. So no sex in it or anything like that?
Me: Nope, told you, wholesome -
Lil Wayne: But it's "fuck the world", like a fuckin nympho
Me: Okay but really that's the only part!
Mom: Yeah, sure. You'll say that the whole time.
Fuck bad timing, hahahah. But it's true. Grew up on my uncle's 80s rap, and now the radio station only plays music about graphic sex and drugzzz. A little awkward to ride with your parents to.

Fact #2:
I’m already really into searching for colleges and applying for scholarships. My passion has always been writing, and for years my dream job was a magazine editor. However, the print industry is slowing faltering and I’m heartbroken. Majoring in creative writing has always appealed to me, but I’m not sure if I should take the “safe route” and stick to what I’m...

exams are tomorrow.
and I am safe in every class but the dreaded AP Biology, which just so happens to be tomorrow. How will I cope versus this monstrosity? That is yet to be determined.
Going out to buy this tonight.
Wish me extra luck, I promise you I will need it.

Fact #1:
I cringe when people say the word “funky.” Bleh, I shuttered just typing it.
Don’t ask me why. I mean, in songs, maybe it’s tolerable. But if the word pops up into a conversation with people who don’t know of my distaste for it, I usually try to hide signs of dislike so I don’t look crazy. My mom tries to trick me into saying it, and you wonder why I’m so...

Dream Within A Dream
By Edgar Allen Poe
Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow- You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my...

sound of silence.
Sometimes, I think that the moments where nothing is said, say the most.
All the stomach flops, verges of tears, laughs so loud that they’re silent, most ridiculous fits of rage, times of complete honesty.. all start with that silence in the air that doesn’t need to be filled. However, this is just a thought.

Sorry Thoreau, but my things-to-do are counted in...
So I broke down again and cried today. This time, it involved me sobbing into the phone out of nowhere to my boyfriend who was at work, making fries in mid-sentence. I don’t know why I always realize things after they’ve been happening, not when they start to begin. For a smart person, I really can be dumb as fuck when it comes to noticing things in general.
I can feel my body...

"..Because I want to go to heaven before I die"
How come when I feel this way, I have so much more love for everything than when I’m normal? I can’t even explain it. There was a point when I actually liked people, haha. I was intrigued with why people did the things they do, and now I just get tired of it. When I thought about so much less, things made more sense and I didn’t have time to question it. Maybe if I was brought...

this isn't goodnight, this is goodbye
Tried making this work, but I don’t think it can. Our friendship is a stigma for all the things I’ve done wrong in the last few months. Sometimes, I feel like my mind is too “out there” for normal people, yet not cynical enough for the fucked up minds of the “tortured souls.” So where do I stand?

The Sphinx by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Sphinx is drowsy, Her wings are furled: Her ear is heavy, She broods on the world. “Who’ll tell me my secret, The ages have kept?— I awaited the seer While they slumbered and slept:— “The fate of the man-child, The meaning of man; Known fruit of the unknown; Daedalian plan; Out of sleeping a waking, Out of waking a sleep; Life death overtaking; Deep...

Terrence: Thanks for the rice krispie, Kiwi. You're the only person in school who gave me something and I really appreciated it. You're a wonderful person with a big heart, goodnight.

got new glasses!
Turns out my vision’s gotten worse, so these glasses are just what I needed.
Glasses I wanted:
(Unfortunately, mom refused to let me get.)
Glasses I ended up getting:
(Look real similar to my old glasses.)

I try so hard
to not let the little things bother me anymore. But it’s like. We try, we really do, and things go wonderful for us. We’re made for eachother and he makes me laugh and understands me more than anybody in this world. But then, we forget to try.. not pulling me closer when he can, reacting in a way we shouldn’t, not smiling really big when our eyes meet, not complimenting...
