I am on my knees.... [Feb. 6th, 2005|11:14 pm]
[mood |angryangry, yet sad]
[music |Rachel Merchand- Humble]

So, basically the administration of my school sucks. Most of you already know what is going on, and if you don’t, ask me and maybe I will tell you. Otherwise it just sucks.

But I can’t begin to tell you how much I truly appreciate all of you who are supporting us in this. We couldn’t handle this without you. The fact that someone put their job on the line for me and two of my friends is so amazing and I hope they know how much I really do care for them. And also to the only faculty member who would be reading this, I don’t even know where to start to thank you. You have done SO much for me in the past 3 ½ years, and not only have I loved being a kid in your class for a year and a half, but I have loved being in your advisory and getting to know you as an actual person (since, hey, teachers are people, too! Or… some of them at least…) But in all seriousness, thank you for everything, and it means the world to me.

Not only have I had to face the wrath of the administration, but I have also had to face the wrath of my parents. I thought this would not be too horrible, considering this would not be totally new information to them, but oh, was I wrong. I was lectured on numerous occasions this weekend how I was a manipulative pedophile, basically, and that of course, since relationships only go ONE way (ha) this is all my fault. They then proceeded to say that they still love me and support me, but they do not believe in the choices I am making, or support those decisions. You may be asking yourself, how does one support someone, yet not the “decisions” they make concerning their lifestyle, when in essence, it isn’t even a decision, it is how you were originally programmed? Yes, I asked myself the same question and I am very unsure of the answer. They also try to say that they are “just looking out for me” and they are trying to not get me kicked out of school. I think I can hold my own and I have done just fine trying to figure this out without this unnecessary mess. If they aren’t even going to try to understand me, what is the point of being fully honest and open with them? Oh, and check this one out, kids. I had to tell my SISTER. If any of you know my little sister, you know that she is a conservative-ass little Raleigh kid, just like my parents. Granted it could be worse, but it really could be a hell of a lot better too. I just know she will use this information as fuel when we get into one of our infamous heated arguments, and I just cannot WAIT until that occurs.

In the meantime, I am going to try and continue to do research and go through school manuals and try to find rules or statements proving that the rules they pulled out of their asses do not exist.

Things like this always happen at the most opportune times… this is when I should be trying to do work so I can get decent grades in the final stretch… but then again, I am in college, so fuck it. I might as well fight for something that I believe in. Maybe the fact that they wouldn’t let us have a GSA can be used (they will then argue, but we did let them have one, it is just called a “Diversity Alliance”… yeah that’s bullshit because they don’t want anything that will “look bad for the school”, my God, especially a club with the word “gay” in it….. <

My school is so damn ridiculous. I am glad I have gone because of all the wonderful people I have met, but I am ashamed that my family has actually invested money in this institution. Bullshit. Just like our damn president. DAAARGHHHHHH I have to go now; I am just making myself more and more angry.

I wanted to update, but I don't want to say anything that will upset anyone or further stress them out, in all seriousness. So I will just say that I hope everyone is doing well... and to those of you who have a lot on your plate, I am sorry if I am causing any stress whatsoever and please let me know what I can do to help, or what I can do not to help... or anything. I just hope you are okay, and that you will be okay. I do still care, and I'm sorry things aren't better than they are right now. Okay, well that's it.

So I have a little more time to post now. My free period seems to go by rather fast and I tend to lose track of time.

But yeah, so the weekend was fun, I am sore and tired, and hm, I guess that's all on that front.

I have this hamster analogy, and it may sound really weird, but it totally makes sense to me and a select few others. It really makes me happy that at least one person really understands and can fully comprehend how I am feeling and where I am coming from. It is ironic, but very nice at the same time.

So I realized that there is this one big hamster on one of those little metal spinning treadmill wheels that they play on in my brain. This hamster just stays on the same wheel, running, and never really gets anywhere at all. This Hamster has been around for a long time and wears himself down, but at the same time, he keeps on running and getting absolutely nowhere with all the hard work he puts forth. For awhile this was the only hamster that proved to be present, but now there seems to be this brand new baby hamster in one of those pink, clear, little balls that they can run around in. The difference with this hamster is that he is a baby and doesn't really know what he is doing or how to even go about what he is trying to do. He is also very speedy and full of extreme amounts of energy, sometimes almost too much. This baby hamster is in a ball though, instead of on a wheel, because he can at least move around and go somewhere, which is much better, but he is still trapped in this pink plastic sphere and is unable to fully experience what he wants to. The fact that big hamster#1 is on a metal wheel and baby hamster#2 is in a pink, clear ball also plays a fairly significant role in the analogy, one that is somewhat difficult to elaborate on.

I may sound incredibly insane right now, and maybe I am, but it makes sense in my head, (seeing as how it does in fact take place in my head), and thankfully one other person understands me too.

[music |Hawthorne Heights- Ohio is for Lovers]

I am completely and utterly exhausted from this weekend- snowboarding was so much fun though, and I wasn't as horrible as I expected that I would be. I am definitely looking forward to being able to do that a lot more often next year.

Everything has been off lately. I don't know why, or maybe I do, but I don't exactly know what to do about it. Things are really good, but at the same time I have no idea what I am supposed to be doing; what my purpose even is. Shit I have to go to class.

[music |From Autumn To Ashes- Milligram Smile]

This time tomorrow, if I have not already died or broken several appendages, I will be snowboarding!! I am so excited. I haven't been able to go in a really long time and I get to try out my new board. I am so stoked. Slightly concerned for my life, but stoked, all the same. :)
I am glad this week is over.. school is just annoying and boring. I love hanging with everyone, but I dunno, you know how it is.... 'tis school after all.
But I hope everyone has had a good latter part of the week and that you all have a great weekend!!!

:)

One Song Glory... [Jan. 27th, 2005|11:51 am]
[mood |Bohemian...?]
[music |Light My Candle- Rent]

Ok so in Rent, one of the prominent motto's is "Viva La Vie Boheme", which basically is saying "live the Bohemian life", and today/yesterday I have been feeling very, what some people describe as, "Bohemian". Just that whole artistic/starving artist lifestyle and whatnot... granted I am by no means a starving artist, but I have been in one of those kind of moods. (And I realize that apparently this was the theme for some people last weekend, and I promise that my mood has nothing to do with yours- no identity theft, trust me :) ).
But I just have been wanting to play my music and do art and nothing else. I kind of like this feeling, though it is somewhat contradictory to what I should be focusing on. I don't really care though, it is what I love, and I am in college so who effin cares?! :)
Last night was so refreshing. I spent some time with an old friend and we just went to a park and talked for two hours about everything, and it was amazing. I really treasure our friendship, and I am so glad that through everything that has gone on we are at the stage where we are now. Especially since we are both going different, but similar at the same time, directions next year.... and life is weird. Like, WEIRD. Like..... when cds you make a year ago with totally different intentions for someone reappear and you listen to them with that person and each song has so much specific and subtle meaning to everything that the two of you have gone through. It is just... weird how things seem to work out.
Dah.
But I think I want to work on an art project, so that's all for now. Hope everyone is having a good day.

That's all.

[music |Bright Eyes- Old Soul Song]

I do realize that this is my third post today, and I also realize that I may appear to be somewhat bipolar. But um, I don't really know why I got on here to post again. I guess I just didn't want the angry post to be my most recent one. I was more hurt than anything. Not angry. Hurt.
So, I don't know what there is left to say.
Sorry.
