hey there cool kids. I started another journal! yeah...so..about my life as of now. hm..i'm a junior at LCHS, lets talk of that now shall we? i hate it. like, i really really hate my school. nobody ahs school spirit, and have no reason to. i mean, our sports teams suck, as does everything else my school does. it's sinking into the ground. the teachers are hypocrites. i want to transfer to english way too much. but no, my mother won't let me, because of course, she knows what i want and don't want better than i do.
well enough of that, now onto the good things in my life. i have a wonderful girlfriend, and her name is Kendra McKernan. you probably know her, everyone does. as of now, we've been going out for two and half months, and
i've made it through the wilderness
somehow i made it through.
i didnt know how lost i were
until i met you
i was beat incomplete
i'd been had, i was sad and blue
but you made me feel
Yeah you made me feel
shiny and new
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When our hearts beat
Close in time
i wrote that for her.
yeah so on to other topics. i have a bountiful amount of friends, the best being adrian, nicole, cj, and sam. we have some good times, let me tell yah. i tend to hold on to my friends. i'm not really one to drop friends and move on to another group willingly, although it has been forced upon me to do so in the past.
i tend to be the comic relief. people say i'm funny. i say it's the audience that determines that. the only way to determine that for yourself is to talk to me, hang with me, you know the drill. sometimes i get out of hand though. i mean, i control it the best i can, but sometimes i speak on impulse, and it does damage. i have a lot of energy, and sometimes i get wild. for example, i once stuck a tampon in my nose and ran around the house and ended up slamming my head into the wall.
people also say that i prejudge people. i think that comes from way back when i was a shy, quiet kid when i was little. (what?! adam, quiet?!) i'm not gonna lie, i was one friggin shy kid. i had a hard time making friends, because when i entered a situation where i didn't know anyone, i would seclude myself, and stay away from any interaction. i guess i was so afraid of being picked on (not that i was) that i would try and pick out the faults in people and kinda be afriad of them. now i guess i pick out faults in people i don't think i would like anyways, sometimes too hastily.
i think i'll tell you why i'm not quiet and shy anymore: Adrian, and Camp Rotary.
i've known adrian since i was in 7th grade. the first day of school, i didn't have a locker. this kid pops up and says, "You can share a locker with me, Adam." Now, i didn't know how he knew my name, (in fact, i still don't) but i said "Really? Thanks!" we started to become friends. we learned a lot from each other: me, to be more open and to embrace my inner humor. him, to be more appreciative of the intellectual approach to things. yup, we are who we are today because of each other.
Camp Rotary..where to begin. i have to say, it is my favorite place in the world. without a doubt. it wasn't at first, though. ask anyone who was there, the first week of my first year i didn't talk to anyone, and layed in my bunk, reading The Lord of the Flies. then, one fateful night, when everyone was talking about who knows what, i said these magic words: "My Mommy Thinks I'm Special." now, i don't remember how that fit into the conversation they were having, but everyone thought it was hilarious. from that point on, everyone loved me. i was included in everything, and fell in love with the place. i spent one more year as a camper, and moved on to be a Counselor In Training for two years. now, just out of my second year as a CIT, i'm looking forward to possibly being a junior counselor. it's real funny to me, thinking back to that first week, how much a place like that can change a kids life. i mean, the people there and the place itself taught me so much about myself, and interaction with other people, there is no possible way i can part with it.
i don't like sports. that all there is to it. i just get bored with them, be it playing them or watching them. just don't like 'em. my friend corey put it best when he said, "Adam doesn't like to play sports. He like to run around without an objective and play games without rules."
major props to whoever read all this. it is a doozy!
