Sweetheart, you'll find; mediocre people do exceptional things all the time.
Come on in, sweetie-pie
Have an apple, have some lye...
Leave your friends, righteous and pathetic, standing at the door
On the books, all your bets, favor head-bands and cassettes
Cigarettes, suffragettes, and bores
What to do?
Sweetheart, you'll find
Mediocre people do exceptional things all the time
Oh, the ruin will do in your talented mind...
Could've been a genius if you'd had an axe to grind
When we moved to the city
It seemed the competition got so much less pretty
But the mirror's never failed you like this before
So your revenge on the world
Will be pencils through your curls
And if wanting ever taught you anything, it's wanting more
And more and more and more
What to do?
Sweetheart, you'll find
Mediocre people do exceptional things all the time
Oh, the ruin will do in your talented mind...
Could've been a genius if you'd had an axe to grind
What to do?
What to do?
When that day finally nears
You'll at least have made it clear
That compassion's just a nicer way of looking down your nose
It seems that all the people want to do
Is crowd the streets of
Amsterdam (Pamplona, too)
But the bulls have already come and gone and bellowed all their lows
Now nobody knows
What to do?

Oh, what to do? Oh, what to do? What to do?
I would say something like "Oh wow, I haven't updated my Livejournal in a long ass time", but I think it's pretty self explanitory.
It's funny cuz it's almost exactly a year since I've done it. It's been a rather un-productive year, which is most likely part of it. Why write about nothing? lol
So anyway, I've been packing. Yeap, that's right, I am gettin the eff outta here in less than a month! James and I are moving to Minnesota. "Minnesota? Why are you moving to Minnesota?" I'm so tired of the question. For one, because I currently live in Michigan. That's really all anyone would need, but to explore further; James and I are getting an apartment with Mary, getting some work, and starting to build towards a life together.
Yes, James and I are still together. Things are pretty good for us right now too. A few months back we had some arguing going on as usual and got down to the core of it all. Ever since we've been fine.
I really don't have anything to complain about in my life right now. Which is a nice change of pace. My mom and step dad and I get along fine, I have my sisters, even though my dad has been a real fuckin douchebag lately, but it really isn't upsetting me that much. I'm learned to just let some things/people go. In today's world, bullshit and drama just isn't worth it. Some things are worth fighting for, obviously. I always stand by my opinions of things, and my own morals, what I believe in. I'm been pretty good at negotiating things as well, but stupid shit just doesn't interest me. It's to the point where I just cut people who are not worth my time out of my life, and it's worked out fine. (Thanks Joshy~poo.) When I actually go back and think about all the things that upset me (Minus Michael), alot of it had to do with 'friends' not being real friends. Just bullshit drama, things that don't even involve them becoming live altering for them. It's dumb. The dumbest one is Mack, honestly. Sorry to name names, but he stopped being my friend because of the way I have been living my life. He says I'm not doing anything, which is hilarious considering how long I had a Job/Apartment that he wasn't doing JACK SQUAT, but I didn't judge him for it. That is his personal life, and has absolutely nothing to do with our friendship, and he apparentally thinks that where I live, how I live it, where I work, whatever; is a huge part of our relationship. lol Whatever. He was a fantastic friend while I had him, and was like a brother to me. I'll always have those memories, and that's what counts to me. The memory is all that matters, the fact that I had that friendship, and the things we did for eachother back then, that's what matters. I'll always be grateful for that.
And about the Minus Michael thing, I was a kid in love. The way that he was torn away from me, and the feelings for him I had, is what made me basically flip my lid. It was unavoidable emotion crushing down on me. Like hell I knew that it was going to happen. It was too effin sudden. But hey, you live and learn and then you stop dating guys who's fathers are clinically insane.
Hopefully I'll start using this some more, I like looking back at my past entries and feeling that weird shit, laughing at myself, or kicking myself in the ass. I'm going to want to start keeping these memories of finally getting the hell out of here, that's for sure.
