mis-shapen chaos of a well-seeming form

so, yeah, today was highly constructive

I didn't want to go to college today. So I didn't. This new ability to make choices based on my feelings will probably prove highly self-destructive. In fact, it already did. More than to get an education, I need to go to college in order to spend at least some of the day in the distracting company of others, rather than alone locked within my own mind.

I went for a walk to clear my head and ended up, quite honestly without any intention, on manwhore's street. My "how to fit in" overdrive kicked in shortly before I reached his house, and so the scary obsessive stalker localgirl is in repression again. For now.

As I retreated quickly I saw buses full of kids from his school and was amazed it was so late. I went to the train station halfway between our houses, and sat on the seat I once sat on with him. Not for any particular reason. I didn't cry or pretend he was there or even replay the conversation we had. I just sat there for a while, and then I went home.

I'm fine with boys not fancying me - I don't find myself especially attractive but I'm okay with that - some girls are pretty and some girls are smart and I'm smart. But how am I supposed to deal with the fact that he thinks I'm pretty but doesn't like me. You can change you hair and your weight and your clothes but can you change your personality? Can you change who you are...and if you can, who do you become?

* the marks of memories forgotten
* wasting emotions, over again
* intentions, and such
* nothing unusual, nothing's changed - just a little older, that's all (damien rice : amie)
* now I understand! It doesn't make sense because it isn't supposed to

a not that ugly design
looking down
when ideas fail, words come in very handy
keep an eye on the present
look to the future
but don't forget the past
keep wishing
keep dreaming
keep those you love close
keep writing it all down
keep making new friends
and never forget who you are
or where you come from
all opinions appreciated
