Drama...

High school is filled with drama

If it is drama between friends;
drama between you and your friend's friend;
or drama that you hear about from your friend and another person.

HIGHSCHOOL IS DRAMA!

I have tried my best to stay out of drama but it follows you every where. Most of the time, for me at least, I just hear about it from my friends. Occasionally, drama starts between me and someone else.

Luckly most of these cases have worked themselves out
  • Sometimes it is a misunderstanding
  • Sometimes it takes someone to forgive and forget
  • Sometimes it needs some time
  • Sometimes it needs to be talked though
  • Sometimes it could never be fixed.

When I look back on the past 4 years I recall many different situation that needed these different solutions. At times I assume things. At times I looked at the problem and realized that I was making a bigger deal out of something that wasnt that big of a deal. There were times that problem got better with time and they were easier to talk about and get past. Some situation needed to be talked about even if I really didn't want to. And there are always those situation that can never be solved.

When a best friend turns on you; stabs you in the back. Or when an aquantance tries her hardest to steal a boyfriend.

These are only my experiences problems that could never go back to the way they were or be solved. But I'm sure there are many more in a teenager's life; and many more I will experience.

So when entering highschool, feeling awesome that you are no longer a middle schooler; remember to be ready for drama

BECAUSE
Highschool is filled with drama

OMG!...PROM

So prom is finally here...
Plans have changed once again.

  • My date is Dallas
  • My dress - still yellow
  • Hair done at Capri
  • Pictures at Tiffany's
  • Grandmarch at Kennedy
  • Dinner at Elmcrest
  • Dance at Elmcrest
  • Post prom at bowling ally
  • post post prom...who knows where!

I have to work every day this week; except for tomarrow. And tomarrow these things need to be done:

  • Find dressy sandles to change into after pictures
  • Go to the bank
  • Get my nails done
  • Pre-order me and Dallas' flowers
  • Get "clothes" for under my dress
  • Watch results of American Idol!

Oh my god. I just feel like there is so much to do and only one day to do it since I work every flippin' day this week!

But it should all be worth it. Dallas doesnt really want to go, but he does want to go with me, and doesnt want me to have to go with anyone else. Hopefully it will turn out more fun than he thinks it will.

AND
Hopefully no drama happens. We are in a group with my friends who happen have dates that are Dallas' friends too.

EXCEPT

...for one girl who has cheated on Dallas' bestfriend/"brother". There are hard feelings on both sides and she is in the group we are going with. Dallas said he won't cause anything so hopefully nothing does happen.

This is going to be an amazing night
One night that I have thought and dreamed about for a long time
A night that I will never forget!

Me and Wolverine...

James Logan aka Wolverine and his brother Victor Creed (who will later become Sabretooth) run away together as children in the mid 1850's after Logan kills their biological father who had murdered Logan's adoptive father.
After serving together in many wars they are recruited by William Stryker to serve in a special unit made up of mutants. After wiping out an African villiage, Logan quits the unit and goes off to live a life of peace in the Canadian Rockies with his girlfriend later to be known as the Silver Fox.
Six years pass for the both of them until Stryker shows up and asks Logan to come back and be a part of a new Weapon X project. Logan refuses but Creed shows up and murders Logan's girlfriend leaving him wanting revenge against his brother.
Logan accepts Strykers offer to be infused with Adamantium so that he can be indestructable and go after his revenge but is double crossed by Stryker and hears him give the order to wipe his memories.
Escaping before this can happen, he goes searching for Creed killing anyone who gets in his way.
After reuniting with a few members of his old team, he finds out that Stryker and Creed are actually working together to kidnap mutants and keep them in confinement working on a new project!

Don't You Ever Wish...

Don't you ever wish everything went the way you wanted them to go? Do you ever wish things were back to the way they were, the way they use to be?

Don't you ever wish you could hear what people are thinking, listen to what everyone is saying or do what everyone else gets to do? Is it our own fault that we cannot relate to those in need?

Is it just me who wants things to go my way; whose dreams get broken because they only exist in fairy tales? Am I the only one who wants peace; everything to work out with everyone?

Why is it that I over-react to all the little things that go wrong? Who else can't see beyond the present? Does anyone out there want the things I want?

Can't anyone understand me; comprehend my past, present and future? Who is out there that look past my fake emotions and see the real me? Is anyone out there that can?

Are you the one who puts thier whole heart in your relationships, then when it ends, gets broken? Who am I to hold back myself from loving and caring the way that others care and love?

Doesn't everyone in the end get hurt? Whom among us hasn't loved and lost that love? Is there anyone who has that perfect life and doesn't have to experience the pain of the loss in thier own life?

Why can't people understand one another? Who can't give up a small amount of time and energy for someone you love? Is selfishness the new moral to live by?

Won't every little girl's dreams soon be broken by that one guy who doesn't care? Will someone be there to hold me up when I fall? Will someone hear me if I cry?

Don't you every wish everything went the way you wanted them to go? Do you ever wish things were back to the way they were, the way they use to be?

A Purposeful Purpose?...

Well as we all know, education for minors is a law. You must get an education if you are below a certain age. But is that the point of public schools? Public schools may just be around because the government needs a place for kids and teenagers to attend to receive an education. Schools are expected to teach and prepare the attendees for their future. Schools should give an education as well as life experiences.

As I entered public school, coming from a small, private, Christian school, I was overwhelmed with change. In public schools you have to work with people you don’t like as well as meet people you don’t get along with. I think that a purpose of public schools is to educate youth and give life experiences but also suppose to give you a better idea of who you are. As you go though school, you meet new people and find certain people interesting. You find yourself in others.

Now as generation and generation move through school, our world and public schools have changed. It seems like school has become a “day care” for students. Not many are worried about education or worried about their future; they are just worried about who they are going to sit by at lunch. Popularity and the “in crowd” is the main focus at schools now; who is on top of the social ladder.


Is that the purpose of public schools?

A Little Inspiration...

When one door of HAPPINESS closes, another
opens
but often we look
s o l o n g
at the closed door
that we do not see
the one that has been opened for us.
Helen Keller

You learn to speak by speaking,
To study by studying,
To run by running,
To work by working;
and just so you learn to love man by loving.

Taylor...

So I love Taylor Swift...

I would bet that every highschool girl does.

At first, I thought that she was - alright - and just like all the other girl singers trying to hit it big in Hollywood. But then I found out that she writes all her own music. Every word and every note is her own and original.

Not everyone can say that for themselves.

Right now in my perspectives class, we are researching the use of music sampling to make a different song. Is that copywriting or okay? That's what we are suppose to determin.

But if you write all your own music - like Taylor Swift - you wouldn't need to worry about if you are taking someone else's work.

The reason why writing your own music and lyrics is so important to me is because you will sing it with emotion. They are your feelings and emotions and thoughts and that will come out in the singing. Now whenever I listen to Taylor Swift, I know that the words are her own and accually mean something.
Forever and Always
...
Was I out of line?
Did I say something way too honest
That made you run and hide like a scared little boy?
I looked into your eyes, thought I knew you for a minute
Now I'm not so sure
So here's to everything, coming down to nothing
Here's to silence that cuts me to the core
Where is this going?
Thought I knew for a minute
But I don't anymore
And I stare at the phone and he still hasn't called
And then you feel so low, you can't feel nothin' at all
And you flashback to when he said forever and always
Invisible
She can't see the way your eyes will light up when you smile
She never noticed how you stop and stare whenever she walks by
And you can't see me wanting you the way you want her
But you are everything to me
And I just want to show you, she don't even know you
She's never gonna love you like I want to
And you just see right through me but if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful miracle, unbelievableInstead of just invisible
White Horse
Say you're sorry, that face of an angel
Comes out just when you need it to
As I paced back and forth all this time
Cause I honestly believed in you
Holding on, the days drag on
Stupid girl, I should have known
I should have known
I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to come around
