    I've realized that I'm kinda a...umm...I don't really know if "Player" is the correct term...but yea...
    It's only been like that since my ex though.
    I'll be in one class having one guy flirt w/ me...I'll walk down the hall & talk to another that has a crush on me... then I'll go to my locker to find another guy waiting to give me a hug... & then while I'm at my locker, another guy walks by and tickles me... & this cycle continues through-out the entire day.... then I get home to find these 2 guys from a different school talking to me online...1 told me yesturday that he thinks he's litterally in "LOVE" with me! uh-oh!
    Hmm...nothing good is going to come out of this...I don't think...& I need to stop this deadly cycle quick because 1 of my friends thinks I'm using them all...& she's kinda jealous.

    hmmm...I see what you mean...but that's why I feel bad is because I know it's a total bitch move & I don't want to be classified as that by them. Sooooo, today I told one of them who everyone I guess thought I've been dating (which I haven't) that he needs to back off a little with constantly being around, but can still be around. He took it really well & has backed off a little. =)


    Today for spanish class I was late because I had forgot to bring my book and I had to go get it... when I got back to class, I had found out that my "Friend," had told the teacher that I was skipping...LAME. & so the teacher was dumb and wouldn't change it in her attendance book that I was tardy instead... SO, since I was going to be marked down as absent, might as well be. SO, I just got up & left. =)
    It kinda bothered me though that my "friend," said I was "skipping," when she skips a class on a daily basis.

    ^ I'm depressed how the guy I really like still has this long distant relationship. Granted she's only in oregon, but they see each other like on long breaks.

    Today we were talking and then some guy started talking to him saying "dude your new I gotta hook you up.." (yeah it was lame, haha) and then my crush got all awkward saying uhh I dont need it if you know what I mean. Like he never comes out and says OH I have a gf, he like dances around it. Does this mean something? HOW LONG CAN IT LAST, honestly??!?? =[

    Probably three weeks ago? A girl in my class committed suicide. then a week or so later, someone died of an accidental overdose. My school is a small private school and my class only has like 40ish people and a bunch of us had gone to school together since kindergaten. We're all really close... like a family xD Everyone knows what goes on with everyone else and gossip spreads like wildfire. The girl had been going to school with me since 1st grade. It was really hard because she was always so nice and just the funniest happiest person, but yeah. And the guy just came to our school last year, only a couple people were really close to him, but yeah...

    Shit. I know what it's like to go to a small school with people you've known since kindergarden. I've been in the same class as my friend patrick since primary, and this is the first year he's not around (he went away to university). I'm really sorry about your classmates Sad

    My school's heating system is horrible. In about half the rooms the heating doesn't work well at all and in our choir room the heater doesn't work at all so now we never stay in there. Yet instead of fixing the heating the remodeled the lobby/cafeteria in our school. Mad

    I don't understand why teachers give their students 3 days to write a rough draft for a 3 page paper, but then give them 2 weeks to write the final draft, um, hello the rough draft takes a lot longer then the final.

    well either way that's a lot of time for a three page paper so it's not that bad.

    Pinthin wrote:I know my mom has talked about getting a divorce.

    My rant kinda relates to yours, pinthin. So when I was younger I had a great family, and I would never DREAM about my parents fighting or divorcing. Then enter some fucking doctor who pretty much poisoned my mom's mouth. It's the longest story ever and I don't even know all of it. This happened maybe about 9 years ago? But each year my mom's obsession about it and trying to sue like everybody got worse and worse to the point where I stopped caring (I mean I understand, I would definitely be pissed off too if I were my mom, but trust me, how she's acting is RIDICULOUS). So around my eighth grade year she and my dad fought a lot and when they didn't fight they barely spoke. They were supposed to get seperated two years ago, which I was praising God for at the time because the tension in my house was (and still is) unbearable. But my mom was an idiot back in college and dropped out, so now she has to go back so she can learn nursing (which ironically takes forever), get a good job, and finally she'll leave. She also has the worst mood swings in the world, and 90% of the year she is unhappy, bleh, etc. Rarely she is in the good moods she was ALWAYS in back in the day, so whenever she is, I cherish them. I don't even know why we even eat dinner together anymore either. It's silent, and we all never laugh together anymore. Everytime we go out for dinner, I try to skip it. I can't remember the last time we all enjoyed each other's company. And it's so frustrating that I break down because all my mom was doing was getting two teeth pulled out (which was normal) and now look what happened. And my parents set awful examples too. Thank God I have running and my coach and teammates to give me a secure life.

    oh i not saying that isn't enough time, i was just mad that the rough draft takes me the longest being the final i can do in about 10 mins, while the rough will take a lot more time then that, the fact is y give more time for something that is going to take less and less time for something that is going to take more?

    ^^greg, i'm with you on the people 'asking for others to comment their pictures' it's sooo annoying.
    they post ENDLESS bullitens saying:
    "omg, I'm leaving to rachel's house...COMMENT MY PICS!!!"
    or
    "PC 4 PC!!!"
    or
    "Comment my pics and I'll love you forever!!"

    like seriously, It's so unbecoming.

    Aren't they "friends" with older relatives who would call their parents? Most people with a fb in my school are forced to be friends with older relatives.

    My rant: I now have a cough as a residual symptom from an illness I just got over. I have to give two speeches lasting 3mins and 30seconds, and another one that I make up on the spot lasting 1min 30secs today for the varsity academic decathlon competition. I don't know how I'll be able to say either one of them through and still be within the time limit, since I end up coughing every 10 seconds.

    they post ENDLESS bullitens saying:
    "omg, I'm leaving to rachel's house...COMMENT MY PICS!!!"
    or
    "PC 4 PC!!!"
    or
    "Comment my pics and I'll love you forever!!"

    like seriously, It's so unbecoming.

    yeah, its sad that people need 80 comments on each photo to feel good about themselves. Thats why I have mine private =/

    Myspace..psh, I really wish more people would switch to facebook Neutral

    i agree.
    i enjoy facebook a lot more.
    it's less like...what's the word hmm...frilly? idk...yeah

    And people who put a lot of gangster and stupid stuff on their myspace's also annoy me. Also, most of my friends who graduated usually use facebook, and most of the people who are juniors or below usually use myspace.
