i love...

Apr. 18th, 2009 | 12:42 am

getting random texts at 11:30 from new friends/big brother type people apologizing for not saying goodbye.
it's going to be hard not to feel for this boy, but i'll do it.


in short my trip was amazing. it's hard to grasp that in just over a year, i'm moving there. it'll be my home. i'll be with my "family". :) i was leaving a church this morning and i said goodbye to one of my friend's moms and she asked when i was coming back, so i told her not til june. she frowned and said she hated to see me go because it was like i was one of them. it warmed my heart because honestly, i feel like i'm a part of that - even from however many miles away, but i never knew if it was acknowledged by anyone else. being gone for two weeks gave me the ability to actually.. form friendships with people. so it was really nice. i can't wait for june :D i can't wait for summer! it'll go by fast. in less than a month, i'm going to be in DC. WHAT WHAT!

..watching certain parts in hancock with four boys is kind of.. awkward. but i actually enjoy being the only girl sometimes. it makes me feel like one of the boys.

i need sleep because i'm just going to keep babbling. i needed to update, though.

YOU'RE THE MOST EFFING RETARDED SCHOOL EVER.


-- recently, i guess my school has decided to implement saturday school as a way to ensure students get missing assignments done. apparently, my house was called, and a message was left about me attending last saturday, the 28. I DID NOT HEAR ABOUT THIS UNTIL TODAY.

never once was i approached at school.
the principal or counselor NEVER called me into the office or anything.
no email.
NOTHING.

complete and utter bullshit.

i don't pick up the house phone. nobody tells me when i get a message.
it pisses me off. SO. BAD.
i want to vent and cry and throw something. when my dad told me this i was afraid that i'd throw my ice cream at something. i'm still pretty livid.

life is just ... hectic as of late. finances are weird around the house since mom moved, so we're trying to accomodate. i'm getting tired of her coming around and especially smoking in the house. i just find myself annoyed with her lately, she seems to immature at times that i'm just.. i'm just done.

on the upside, i leave friday to spend two weeks with my best friend. we've been talking a lot lately about the future - ours together mostly. after my two years in community college, we're going to get an apartment (that way we have time to put money into savings when we get jobs) in between a university we might transfer to and her hometown so we can still attend her parent's church and keep in touch with our friends at another church. it's only about.. 20-30 minute commute back and forth i think she said. but i'm excited. i'm not in so much of a rush to grow up and get, but i'm just.. excited for the prospect. it's going to be fun. obviously hard but fun nonetheless. i hate to be the one thinking that the big bad world will gobble me up, because i know it only will if i let it.

i guess this is it. quick update. quick rant. i needed some sort of outlet before.. i exploded completely.



<3 hope all is well.

What's the best compliment you've ever received?

At first, this was hard to think about, because I get the usual - your hair is pretty, you have a nice smile, oh you've never had braces? But such things don't tend to be so... impacting. Instead...

My best friend calls me her hero, and for reasons unknown to me. But everytime she says it - or when I see it on her myspace, whatever - it just warms me and makes me feel as though I've done something good in the world. Everyone wishes that they could impact one person in their lifetime positively, and it makes me feel as though I already have.

I was THIS close to getting asked out for valentines day. A friend of mine likes me - we text a lot, I'm probably giving him the wrong impression - and last night he asked what I was doing. I told him that I was going to see my best friend, starting friday and coming back monday. And he was like oh that's cool, so I asked him why. For the longest time he wouldn't tell me (well, he gave one of the reasons, being that saturday is mom's moving day), but of course it wasn't hard to realize. I probably would have said no, though, even if I wasn't going away this weekend.

.. I just think it's exciting :D And ironic that, on valentines day, while he wanted to spend it with me, I'll be around the guy I like.

My brother and I are going to stay with Nicole this weekend and saturday we're helping a friend of ours move; they're getting evicted. :( And then who knows after that. BUUUT, I'm really excited for that. This will be mine & nicoles first Vday together in .. eight years, since before she moved.

Lalala. I'm sick, poo. I didn't keep warm enough in the snow I think, so now I'm all congested and crap.

I wish I could blow off my homework.. and sleep.

mood: there.

I feel like those around me are tiptoeing on eggshells. Mostly, just my mom and my dad. Well, actually, it's really more of my  mom than anybody. I'm always asked if I'm okay, how I'm doing. Do you expect me to be fine? Do you expect me to be okay with all of this - seeing the boxes around the house and things missing? Of course I'm doing bad. Of course I'm upset, but I don't want to show it every waking moment. They say they want me to talk, to be open, but I'm sure if she saw what was going on in my head and how I really felt, she wouldn't want to hear it.

Mom's moving saturday, Valetine's Day. I'm going to try and get out of the house; dad's going to see (I think) if I can go up to Nicole's again. As long as I'm not here and I'm not involved.

On a not so depressing note, this weekend was really good. Yesterday and Saturday I was at a retreat with my church and we went up to the same camp that we did for winter camp. That sounded.. weird. Anyway. It snowed ALL DAY yesterday. It was so beautiful. :D It was my first snowfall ever, too. My friend got some pictures, and I have some on my phone, I'm sure they'll be posted.. somewhere. At some point. I left late last night with a group of about.. 6 others. I kind of was supposed to stay today, but it was a "fun" day and the larger group was going snowboarding - heck no for me. :P Plus I need to go into physics tutoring because I bombed the test with a 60. Oops. Anyway, again - the weekend was good like I said. Everytime we had a "meeting", they had us do these interviews where we'd find someone we really didn't know well and we'd go back and forth with prepared questions. It was actually kind of fun - out of the like, 4 or 5 times we did it, I only met with one girl.

One guy I talked to, the last person I met, I'd actually met him before but he made me sit down anyway. He asked me when I got saved and I told him, and he was like "did you smoke a lot of pot?" and the way he said it was just so.. I don't know, like the way a little kid would. Very straightforward and in an innocent sort of way, even though he was a pothead himself before he became a Christian. It made me laugh.

We played MadGab, too. I was utterly amazing. Of course. ;)

That's it. I'm leaving at 12:30 to go to school and I'm still in my bathrobe and my hair's wrapped in a towel.

Toodles <3

I'm falling back into a place where I don't want to be here anymore. I don't even know if I can explain it further - I just. It's the people. It's how I am when I'm there. I miss it. I miss being able to gush with my best friend and giggle rather than typing them out over text message. I feel at home there, I feel in my element. I - I don't know. Just a year and a half, that's all.

1. I've come to realize that, my last ex:
is still someone that I kind of care about. Not in the sense that I want to be with him, but it's like - I've known him for so long and it'd be wrong not to be his friend. When he's down, I notice it, and it makes me feel bad.

2. I've come to realize that, I talk:
only to my close group of friends. I feel uncomfortable stepping out of our little bubble and reaching out to others.

3. I've come to realize that, I love:
my momma a lot despite everything that's happening. I may have been mad at her, but I never hated her. It hurts me when people say that they hate their moms because I don't think they realize the severity of what they're saying. Even though my mom's leaving, I can't hate her for that.

4. I've come to realize that, I have:
people in my life who love me and are here for me through everything.

5. I've come to realize that, I've lost:
friends, but I don't care. They are and have become people that I don't really want to associate myself with. After attempts to rekindle our friendship, I'm done with the person who didn't make attempts to speak to me when going into their relationship.

6. I've come to realize that, I hate it when:
my friends take me seriously when I'm being sarcastic. And I hate when they can't take my sarcasm.

7. I've come to realize that, marriage is:
something I'm really excited for. I have a feeling I may rush into it, but if that happens, I can only hope it's with the right person.

8. I've come to realize that, somewhere, someone is thinking:
about me. ;) No, probably not actually. Someone is thinking of another someone, I'm sure, and hoping that someone wants them.

9. I've come to realize that, I'll always be:
best friends with Nicole.

10. I've come to realize that, I have a crush on:
a boy who I've been "crushing on" since last January. He's one of the most amazing guys I've ever met, but I don't know if it'll ever really go anyway - after all, he's two hours away.

11. I've come to realize that, the last time I truly cried was:
a week or two ago when my mom and I talked about everything. I finally told her how angry I was at her for everything, and after that, it's been easier to talk about the divorce and her apartment.

12. I've come to realize that, my cell phone is:
one of my favorite objects. I love to have it and hold it, even if I'm not texting anyone.

13. I've come to realize that, when I wake up in the morning:

I hate the idea of getting out of my bed.

14. I've come to realize that, before I go to sleep at night I:
think. Mostly about people, sometimes my roleplays, but usually about one particular person.

15. I've come to realize that, right now I am thinking about:
.. about that particular person, and thursday. Not only do I get to see him, but that marks the first day of my visit to Nicoles. <3 I'm ecstatic.

16. I've come to realize that, today was:
just starting; so far, it may be crappy because I'm not feeling well [i hate being a girl sometimes] and I have homework to do. I would much rather procrastinate.

19. I've come to realize that, tonight I will:

go to small group and read pride and prejudice because I have 10 chapters for tomorrow.
 
20. I've come to realize that, tomorrow I will:
go to my brit lit class and do my homework, then probably go to youth group. Even though I'd rather sit at home or sleep.

21. I've come to realize that, I really want to:
leave. I can't wait to move out - not because I absolutely hate being here, but I'm just ready to move out. san diego doesn't hold much for me anymore.

where this dream came from.

me:  OK ME FIRST ME FIRST
so this is how it starts:
me, you, ash, and nicole were at this camp but then i left because .. i was bored i guess. then from there i find my mom and we walk over to where her "mom" (who is not really my nana) lives. so we go in there and this guy knocks on the door and i'm sitting on the floor with my nana and she starts kind of.. freaking out but not like really crazy. but she's just weirded out.
and then she tells us he's been doing it for a while and i start freaking out and i go to sit with my mom on the couch because i thought well if he doesn't get my nana he'll probably want me. so then i'm like "what if he comes through the window?!" and they're like oh - he won't
but he comes up to the window and he has these piercing blue eyes, like they're really bright. and he just looks at us and my nana starts screaming for him  to go away. by the time we go outside he's gone and i think he hung himself but then my nana was really upset because they were friends.
 kayla:  hehe oh my!
 me:  so then i leave and i start walking around and all of a sudden, it feels like i'm in a TV show that's wrapping up. you know how at the end they do a montage and stuff? piecing everything together? well it's like i walk around and i see all these people being killed and stuff, someone was being hung by another person etc.
 kayla:  :o
 me:  and then all of a sudden i see this little asian girl - she was a baby - and so i take her by the hand and start leading her down the street. so then i pick her up because she's kind of wigging out but then all these people start running towards my direction and i'm like 'wtf?!' and then we hear sirens and we're all crowded on the side of the street and the police car comes up and we all look to our left and here comes a meteor and hits a few miles away..
and then my dream ended after the explosion.

83/100 - Othello Essay
90/100 - Essay Portion of Final Exam


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
I'm somewhat giddy to say the least.
I was nervous about that Othello essay, but I'm soso glad that I at least got a B on it. I passed the class with a C- though, only because I didn't turn in other work.
... But that essay, and then the final = <3

That's it. Nyquil + bed time.

Nyquil does really, really weird things to you.

I was out before 11 last night. But throughout the course of the night I had SO many weird dreams. I don't even remember them now, I'm sure I will a little later, but I just remember waking up in the middle of the night going, "WTF?" And I remember waking up at some point with my dog staring at me. And I thought I heard something knock over... Granted, I love taking it. It's the only time I get a decent amount of sleep. And it apparently makes me sillier than normal. Even though this whole being sick thing really isn't that fun, but eh. Hopefully it's ending soon. I'm really stuffed up today with lots of congestion. YUM.

But I'm taking advantage of my not going to school aaand I'll probably get most of my homework done. Or at least I'll give it a shot. I'm not sure if I'll go to small group tonight. Maybe I'll just sleep. :) Last week was so draining. School restarting, I had a mini-breakdown Tuesday (not so mini?), and then getting sick mid-week took a toll on me. BUUT, I got caught up this weekend, thanks to my trusty nyquil. I don't think I got out of bed til almost 10 today, it was really nice.

Ah well. This was a lame update but I figured I might as well put a little something up while I'm sitting here with 5 minutes left.

Which I'm totally not excited about. I'd kind of rather sit here and do nothing on my christmas break. Well, if I didn't go, I would've already been gone to see my best friend anyway - and it feels really weird that I'm not with her this week. This time last year we were off running around doing everything. Then again, if I'd gone up there, I wouldn't have been posting/partying in the FC the past few days, which has been nice. :)


I'll just secretly have fun. Maybe. But I will take lots of pictures (hopefully) because there's supposed to be snow. Oh joy. Hopefully I don't freeze to death.


.. Ok, so I won't.

Now I have to go eat/finish packing before I leave.

"Dear Kristen,

Your dedication to the Lord and service to the advancement of His Kingdom has not gone unnoticed. A select group of students are receiving a letter similar to this, but the number of individuals in that group is very small. The reason for this is that we want to offer you and the others that have demonstrated your leadership a very special invitation.

The pastors of Foothills Christian Church and the School Board have authorized an incentive to enroll you in Foothills Christian High School in January of 2009."

This is not the entire content of the letter, but that is the gist of it. Funny how I received it/opened it RIGHT after the whole religious thing that KuramaxHiei/whatever started.

In short, I'm thrilled. I honestly don't know what I'm going to really do about it yet - I'd love to go, but I don't know if I'm getting in on scholarship, because the tuition is pretty expensive. The only other thing kind of stopping me is my friends that I've already developed since my freshman year and junior high.

... But I'm still oh so happy. It made my long/boring/tiring day much better.

I just finished my Othello essay, and let's just say, I am RELIEVED. I'm surprised I got so much down - it all just kind of came to me? My first draft was okay, apparently, and I'm hoping I put in more evidence like my teacher suggested.

AND, tuesday night I was up til 12:30 finishing a pyramid for my Wednesday Art History class. I think I did okay on that.
So two major things down.. now finals next week. And make-up homework. YUCK. I just can't wait for finals to be done with! Tuesday and Wednesday, and then I'm freee. :)

I'm super duper excited about the year coming to a close. But not. Because February  keeps getting closer. And closer. And what's funny is, I'm being more and more not okay with the idea of them being divorced. Just yesterday they were sitting at the table and looking over the papers. And I'm sitting right there. Whatever? It's still really weird and unreal to me.

So I saw Prince Caspian today - UH MAY ZING.
I'd just thought I'd say. Peter and Caspian are so cute. I want to go to Narnia. When I was little, I used to try and stick my hand through the wall in my closet. I was such a weirdo. Sigh.
