if it only was that easy, i would surely try it out

boy. maybe life just doesn't like me. maybe that would explain some of the issues i have with my family, my country, men . . . that sounds james joyce-y, doesn't it?

i find it hard to deal with the fact that this is an "instant-replay" kind of country. i think all of us remember what happened a mere two years ago. it was terrible. why do we have to watch it on TV again and again everyday in september? nothing against this country, but i don't think i need to be constantly reminded of a day that ripped other people's lives apart. my family was not affected, and i'm grateful. can't we have some respect for the people whose families were? people said that america changed and was going to stay "this" way. the country may have taken two monumental steps forward in matter of two hours. but we've taken a step back in the last two years. i'm not trying to downplay any of what happened. we keep calling it "history." can't we let it become history instead of dragging it out every six months. well . . .

and the biggest gear-change in this journal.

how do you tell a guy, who you've known for years- who's the polar opposite of you- that you like him? because i can stage in in my head with a setting and actors and blocking and DRAMATIC lines, but it's not real. and when my pretend is over, i'm still afraid of what this friend would think of that. life should be as easy as pretend. i'd be happier. an he would know.
