in the beginning of english class today, as with other days, mrs. brand reminded anyone that would be old enough to vote that they have to register. all of a sudden a girl says that she's not going to register because, "one vote won't make a difference." i looked over and started to laugh because i thought there was no way she was serious, but ( Read more... )

i've been thinking about time a lot lately. not in the "i'm getting old sense", just sort of time itself. i find that remembering specific events makes time seem to go faster than staring at a calendar does. i think that in my head i've somehow made time an inamitate object. my emotional defense mechanisms are ridiculous sometimes ( Read more... )

you know it's been a really fucking bad night when "all the small things" comes on the radio and you start fucking crying. i mean really, blink182? i've reached a new low.

it's funny how you can set yourself up for getting hurt so easily.

when you're up this late, it's hard not to overthink everthing. there are not many things more inspiring at 3 in the morning then thoroughly cleaning your room.

it's crazy that when i look at the envelope my schedule came in it says class 12. senior year still seems so far away (we're talking years) in my head.

did you ever have one of those nights where you see a million people you know but have never met? laura and i were in westfield and it happened so many times between the two of us. it makes me wish i had guts though. it's so hard to approach people, i can only do it when i'm really hyper. it's hard to be shy man. haha, we visited karen at work and ( Read more... )

happy birthday to lush!, and congrats on getting your license. i'm leaving tomorrow for five days. i'm not exactly sure where we're going, i think somewhere in the finger lakes. my brother and i are leaving a couple of days early, and i wish i was just staying home. hassett family vacations are never a good thing ( Read more... )

this bites. for the past week i haven't been able to fall asleep. i'll go to bed at around 1:30, but will sit there wide awake until 5. this wouldn't be that bad considering i have nothing to wake up early for, but i can't sleep past 9. i haven't gotten more than four hours of sleep in a really long time. i realize i could just take nyquil, but i ( Read more... )

it's been a fun past couple of days. last night there was a show in rahway that rebekah, kay, bean and i went to. burn your enemy played pretty well. kuza and seth rocked it. ratio sounded great too. a match like memory was amazing though. they opened with monday nights and it was awesome. their set was so fun and sounded really good, hopefully i ( Read more... )
