so if i get between a fifty and a hundred on my math exam, i'll get a d for the year. that's actually pretty comforting, because i'm sure i can get between a fifty and a hundred, so now the pressure isn't as much and i can focus a little more on bio, although i'm at a b+ for the year in that class and the final won't impact it much ( Read more... )

this has been one of the best weekends... EVER. i've just been surrounding myself with intelligent people that love me a lot... i didn't do the traditional friendly's after the concert because i was off at starbucks with lisa, ian, gilby and nate (charles hicks's older brother). a bunch of other people were there, and i didn't know them so it was ( Read more... )

i think that we will all be better off when parents realize that they do not, will not and can not understand.

tonight i'd been home for about ten minutes when the yelling and crying started... it sucks enough as it is to hate what a failure i seem to be without my mother screaming about how selfish i am. it's not helpful that she's contradictory ( Read more... )

i really dislike scott macauly (sp?). today at lunch someone took gilby's mets hat - and scott did something REALLY disrespectful to the hat and threw it back. i was standing next to gilby at that point and scott was like - hey, you and that girl have the same hair cut.

i feel better than two weeks ago. note on puerto rico to come.

i'm just really tired of having my jaw ache from keeping my chin straight and having my stomach ache from having hiccups and having my eyes twice the size they normally are and having to wipe mascara off my face and having wet pillowcases and having tight salty skin from the tears ( Read more... )

i had a really fucking horrible day today, and i didn't even notice it until it was almost over because i'm at such an ecstatically happy point in my life ( Read more... )

my away message says i'm writing some. this is not the some.

it's really weird that i'm not updating this as frequently as others. i used to be the only one that wrote every day. i guess i traded off for paper and stuff...
it really does show you that grades don't matter a whit when you're talking about intelligence. the past few weeks have found me ( Read more... )

i wrote a few lines of poem today. it was odd. i never use couplets, but i got one line into my head and there it was... it reads like lisa's writing, like it should be a song, but it isn't ( Read more... )

today i drove deedee to hannah's house in oxford. on the way, we listened to one of my playlists - when "intelligent people" came on, i said, "i love this song. the chorus is the best."
she listened to the chorus when it came. "'you've just got to smile and hang out with intelligent people?' i don't get it. why are they so great? why would you write ( Read more... )
