Yeah, so not much but a lot has happened at the same time.

I went downtown with Veronica, and she brought some smirnoff. I drank a little bit, but realized while I was ahead that drinking is so stupid. I mean, I personally think it's all phoscological. Veronica pretended like she was drunk, even though she had about three ounces. She brought it in a coke bottle, and It was exactly half full, so thats about 10 oz. then I drank about 2 oz. and there was about 5 oz. left when she stopped drinking. So obviously she was faking it, which sparked a great expiriment I want to conduct.
I'll either have a party, and be all nonchalant and offer people alcohol, or it will just be me and her. What I'll do is have someone buy me a bottle of some unknown, foregin alcohol, and buy a bottle of tonic water. Now, tonic water doesnt taste like alcohol, but I bet I can convince Veronica that it's my parents weird shit. So I'll pour the tonic into the other bottle, and see if she pretends to be drunk.

Win, I still like him, but I'm kinda slowly drifing from it. But I feel like if I go out with anyone else, I'm just settleing for second best, which I HATE. We started new classes today, so maybe I'll find someone in my class to like, Alice started to go to my school today. So far, it's been fine, but I still have 18 weeks left of that.

Molly started going out with this guy Reese, but before anything happened, she stoped liking him. I made her realize she thinks she likes everyone she meets, but then realizes she just likes the idea of going out with them. And now shes for sure not going to my school, which is the best news.

On the 10th, something that I can't really explain happened. It kinda resolved a LOT of things for myself.

This really irritated me. The other day, Molly and I were taking a survey about each other. And one of the questions was Where do you think your friend will be in ten years? And Molly answers, "I think you won't go to college. You dont have enough motivation. You will probably be living with your mother."
You see, college to me, is more than just going to get an educatiuon for job preperation. It's freedom. What Molly dosen't realize, is that since neither of my parents went to college, It gives me more motivation, cuz I REALLY don't want to end up like them,
Many things are like that for me. I kinda learn the hard way. Like my dad, he used to smoke pot, and it would make me really angry, so now I think it's disgusting. And my mom used to smoke cigarettes, and that was terrible, so in a way, I've been taught a better lesson. Molly's parents are so perfect. I mean, her mom's fucking insane, but her dad has a nice job, went to Coulmbia, and would never think about drinking or doing drugs. And now, shes kinda curious about drinking.
I'm not saying that there isn't things she could learn the hard way from, but she has a pretty easy life financially and I don't.
It kinda reminds me of Kelly Clarkson's song Because Of You.

Collide

2006-01-04T00:48:00.000-08:00

I really feel like Hilary Duff in The Perfect Man, when she says she want's to move.
When Howie Day's "Collide" is playing.
I'm really wishing I were at an all girls boarding school right about now.
Molly and Clarice sometimes. They drive me nuts.
"Oh Lena, you're so asexual. You're so not open with your sexuality. But were just joking."
Well FUCK YOU! I'm one of the most sexually open people I know, and thats saying a lot being surrounded with 15 year olds.
I'm just not open with them, Because all they ever do is critize. And it drives me nuts.

So you wanna hear it?:
In junior high, it was okay. My friends were nice. Boys weren't really in the picture for anyone, so it didn't matter. Molly told us she was moving across the country. We were all devestated, but were all also secertly okay with it cuz it gave us breating space. Clarice and I decided to go to the high school on the other side of town, which is actually where I live. We were independent from everyone else. It was nice. We had guy friends. And girl friends. Alice was at the other high school. Alice, you see, is really complicated to explain. She kind of hates everyone, except for me and Molly. She is such a "all talk but no action" kinda girl. Anyways, in spring of freshman year, Molly told us she was moving back. We were all estastic, but secretly wished she would stay. Just a little part of us though. So Molly moved back in the summer, and went to the high school closest to hers. Not where me and Clarice went. Not where Alice went.
Sophomore year, this year, Clarice joined band. I normally wouldnt have a problem with that, but she's getting really caught up in their realm and her other friends are her last resort. Molly and I have a great friendship, but sometimes, shes so nosy and weird about things. Alice and I were close or freshman year, but kinda faded away cuz she was getting out of hand. I still talk to her and see her from time to time, but she really hurt Molly when Molly moved.
You see Alice and Molly were really close from the beginning of 8th grade to the middle/end. Alice basically told Molly all of the things she hated about her one day, and I didn't want to get hurt like Molly did.
So tonight, I find out Alice is now switching to my school. Of course she will never hang out with me, and be really weird. But who knows. Like I said, shes all talk. But sometimes she can fool you, I mean you never know with that girl. Then Molly tells me shes seriously thinking about switching. And becoming part of band. Which will leave me.
Abandoned.
I have other friends, Veronica and Blake, and Elisa. These are the ones that I actually hang out with.
The I have ones that I hang out with in school. But Its not the same.
I know I may sound selfish, but I don't want Molly to switch. Alice I wont ever see at school, so I don't really care. But Molly. That would kinda suck like a two dollar whore.
And boys.
I've decided I don't like Dusty anymore. Kinda obvious. Cedric, well, I would go out with him if he asked me out, but I'm not attracted to him.
Win. Well, tonite I told him I liked him over AIM and then said I was joking. But really, that would be weird. I mean, I've only met him once!

So here I am at 1 AM and seriously considering boarding school. Really kind of wanting to start over.
And now I feel so desprate, I'll say yes to anyone that asks me out. But thats typical for a teenager.

I keep thinking into the future. Thinking about how I only have 2 years 5 months left until College. Until I can escape. Or even further, when I will have friends that I go to jazzy clubs with when I'm twentysomething. And maybe the I'll have a nice boyfriend. Maybe then.

But until then, I'm stuck singing Jack Johnson's tune Sitting, Waiting, Wishing.
That's bascially my theme song.

She’s a good girl, loves her mama

She’s a good girl, crazy ’bout elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too

It’s a long day living in reseda
There’s a freeway runnin’ through the yard
And I’m a bad boy cause I don’t even miss her
I’m a bad boy for breakin’ her heart

And I’m free, free fallin’
Yeah I’m free, free fallin’

All the vampires walkin’ through the valley
Move west down ventura boulevard
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
A ll the good girls are home with broken hearts

And I’m free, free fallin’

Free fallin’, now I’m free fallin’, now i’m
Free fallin’, now I’m free fallin’, now i’m

I wanna glide down over mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky
Gonna free fall out into nothin’
Gonna leave this world for a while

And I’m free, free fallin’
Yeah I’m free, free fallin

Him

2006-01-03T13:40:00.000-08:00

To me, Him is two/three people at this moment.
Dusty*- I talked to him for 1 1/2 hours for a semester last year. He's cute, and nice, and would make a good boyfriend, but I don't talk to him anymore. Plus, he is living in Vancouver for part of the year, like he does every year, so it's pretty hard to go say "Hi" to him at school.
Cedric*- He's currently in my english class. He's also cute, nice, smart and would make a good boyfriend. He's semi-popular, but that dosent mean anything. He's the eaisest to communicate with, since I have class with him every day. But we switch classes in a few weeks, and I'm not gonna tell him I like him, cuz I don't really. I mean, I do, but not that much. Not like Win*.
Win*- Wow. He's amazing. Really smart and passionate. Uber hot. We love the same music and movies. A hopeless romantic. Would be a great boyfriend. So what's the problem? Well, I've only met him once. I've talked to him on myspace and AIM a few times. I mean, he knows who I am. It's hard to talk to him at school. First off, I don't have any classes with him, secondly, he only goes to our school part time. He does the independent studies program. So he's at school for one class. But literally, wow!

I wish one of them would just ask me out. I know thats a lot to ask, but thats the truth. I could tell them I liked them, but for Dusty, well hes in Vancouver, and thats kind of faded anyways. Cedric would be the easiest, but I don't like him enough. I would say yes if he asked me out, but I really have to like someone to tell them. Win, now I almost feel like telling him, but I've only met the guy once! I guess that could be a good thing, cuz then I dont have to see him everyday and be akward. But it would be so weird to tell him. He would wonder how I like him through meeting him once.
But I mean, Molly* likes someone shes only met once. Tristan*, one of the guys who asked me out, has never really met me! So it's not uncommon, it's just weird.
I'm a wreck!

* Sorry I haven't been mentioning this before, but names have been changed.

"Will You Go Out With Me"

2006-01-03T13:29:00.000-08:00

I think it's a pretty fucking weird thing to say since you do the exact opposite.

I've been asked out by 5 guys, and all of them have used this phrase. In response to one of them, I asked "But where are we going?"

He didn't understand, but really. why "will you go out with me"? Teenagers do the opposite. They say "We're going out" but they've never been on a date. They just do physcial stuff and see each other at school or at their houses.
It's just really stupid. Once you're "going out" with someone, you are automatically their girlfriend/boyriend. It's not "Lets see how things go" but "Were now a couple."
Even if someone hasn't done a single thing with the person, they say "I'm breaking up with you"
Like Molly*, she "went out" with one of my friends.
But did she really? I mean, he asked her out, and she said "I guess".
Then literally a day later, without having seeing him, she calls him up and say's "I don't want to go out with you anymore" It may seem mean, but if you knew the guy, it's not.
Back to my point. When she responds to the myspace surveys, and they ask if she's ever broke up with someone, she answers yes.
Yet if they ask her if she's ever had a boyfriend, she says no.
Would you guys consider this a "break up" cuz I just consider it her changing her mind.
You tell me.

Hey People

2006-01-03T13:21:00.000-08:00

Boys.
They can be so complicated, but so can girls so I can't be talking.
It seems like my friends go into competition over boys. Not necessaily the same boy, but boys in general. As in, who can get a boyfriend the fastest. Some of my friends don't do this, but Molly* does A LOT. She pretends to like guys to see if she can get them, but the boys realize what shes doing and it never works. It seems the only reason shes doing this is to have a boyfriend before me. And I just know that if she does, two days after she's going out with someone, she'll make a remark like "You really need a boyfriend. Theyre great." or "I can't believe you don't have a boyfriend yet."
Don't get me wrong, I want a boyfriend, I'm tired of being single, but part of me just wants one to say I have one. Or to be able to answer some questions on those stupid myspace surveys with "yes" instead of "never".

Welcome!
