| hello.
or rather goodbye...just for closure. the first rain of the fall
echoes on the patio tin. i went out for a walk with my mom and
the thunder and lighting were rolling so close i could point above to
it. it was pretty, creepy, and nice all at once.
today, i finally got the last of my adulty responsibility stuff done
and outta the way. so now it's time for some real packing and
starting things right. i've got a lot of growing up to do still
and i think it's better if i just try it without my old
dependencies.
there is one thing i will hold onto, though. and that's my
piece of mind. sometimes i get so caught up in fighting for
what's right in the
world. then some person comes along and tries to tear up my
idealistic mind. but where are we without morals, laws, family,
honesty, love, selflessness? so they say i'm supposed to wake up
and face reality. well, i already have and i don't like it.
so i'm gonna change it. little by little i've been trying since
8th grade, and i'm not stopping now. nope. so pbbt.
that's right. pbbt.
so off i go. into the big scary world alone (kinda -i got my
stuffed toys and pillows to back me up, oh yeah). wish me
luck. and good luck to you all, too.
"i guess it's hard for people who are so used to things the way the are
-- even if they're bad -- to change. 'cause they kind of give
up. and when they do, everybody kind of loses." - trevor mckenney

but i'm about to give this one more shot
and i'll find it in myself,

| la ruche aux delices.
it says that on the can of the best bonbons ever. imported from
france. ooooh. they're all peachy and sweet and yum.
also, if you scroll down, you will see wedgy and hammy. click on her
continuously three times and she will do a trick. considering
she's a 2-D hedgehog, that is the only trick she knows. but she
is pale pink and her name sounds like wendy. so there.
 hammy's more complex, though. she follows your mouse and if you click on her she runs on the wheel.
alright, so that was the good news.
the bad news is the term "family" is really bonking me over the
head. smelly things have been happening lately...and it's led me
to think a lot about what it means, how it is used so tritely, and if i
should hold onto mine for dear life.
dear life, what the heck is family? is it genes, is it safety, is
it even anything at all unless we make something of it? either
way, i'll be yelling "i'm gonna make something of it dammit!"
family's here for a reason...it's just gotta be.
i'm a scaredy cat, but i'll charge at a monster even if it only gives
him a bruise. sometimes...i just wish it'd do more than
that. -_-

| short n' simple.
the two things i am not.
i got a laptop. it's ooh la la and a bag of chips. that's right.
why doesn't someone remake super street fighter to some ultra modern technologied version? i love that game.
chun li rocks.
home improvement does not rock. especially after weeks of it. yuck.
new layout for september with red and brown (my favourite
colors). honestly, the pictures of me i make a lot nicer than i
actually look. oh well.
listening to: death cab for cutie - your heart is an empty room
the flames and smoke climbed out of every window
and disappeared with everything that you held dear
and you shed not a single tear for the things that you didn't need
'cause you knew you were finally free,

| i like wearing guy boxers.
they're comfy!
sometimes i think being a guy would be easier...
but i guess it's one of those "grass is greener" things, huh?
anyway, i've been helping my sis and ford(her boyfriend) remodel the house they're
gonna rent soon in huntington beach. it's really tiring; but it's nice to learn stuff
about home improvement. i'm sure it'll come in handy in the
future.
like knowing cars and recipes and such.
this summer's much too long. i wish i could cut two weeks out and
paste it to next summer. i have things to do, but having so much
free time makes me less time efficient (aka. lazy and not wanting to
get off my ass).
everyone seems to be having fun at college. it's still
intimidating to me, though. the closer it gets the more unsure i
am. either way, i'm glad to be leaving home.
kat gave me all these lovely cds with new music on 'em. i was
seriously getting withdrawl. O_O then i put 'em on my ipod
mini...yes, i have one now, and i use it all the time. it's
awesooooome.
yeah, music's always a picker upper.
when i own a house in the future, i'm gonna make sure it has a nice
empty room with nice wood floors to dance on and space for my
instruments. puaha.

baby, i've lost the will for fighting over everything,

| there're people who love what they do and are expert at it.
people who hate what they do, but are expert at it.
people who love what they do, but aren't expert at it.
people who hate what they do and aren't expert at it.
i'm none of those. i don't know what i'm doing and i'm not expert at anything.
raise your hand if you feel mediocre.
*raises hand*
time to do something completely original in this spot that someone will never ever copy...ever.
