P.S. No one caught the pageviews, sadly. Although it isn't surprising, since I haven't posted anything in forever
P.P.S. I'm working on something.
P.P.P.S. This is a bit excessive, don't you think?

...I don't really have anything to say (I've never really liked these journal things)
Let's see...
I went to the Nuyorican Poets' Cafe on Friday. It was... incredibly awesome.
(I'd love to read there one day but I'm scared shitless. I think I might be too young, anyway)

Quick thought.
I was reading Scientific American the other day and there was a short news article entitled "Within Any Possible Universe, No Intellect Can Ever Know It All" [link]
Aside from this being very interesting by itself, it's also applicable to various other things... My first thought was movies.
I've never been able to connect to movies as well as books, music, etc. and I think that it's because movies enclose so much that it's hard for them to get out of the box they've made for themselves.
There are other reasons, too; some that are probably more plausible...
[/pedantic rant]

Also: The featured article this issue was on quantum entanglement and special relativity.
YES. AWESOME.
(I get really excited when I see SciAm in my mailbox. This may be bad.)

1. list facts for XX different people you want to say but will never tell them out loud.
2. don't reveal who they are.
3. you can comment but don't answer to guesses. the idea is that no one knows who the facts are indicated to.
4. tag three people.

1. I was talking about jealousy the other day and it was mentioned that we probably envy each other more than anyone else.
That's probably true, and I admire you for what you have and wish I could share it... but at the same time I'm glad we're different.
I'm sorry that I've been an asshole and I will shape up. <3

2. Iamsohappytobeoveryou.
Although I still like you as a person. Certainly.
(eventhoughIsometimesdon'tknowifIshould.)
(And I still don't understand you)

3. Hello.
I know you don't mean it, but I really can't stand it when you
insult me. It bothers me and I don't know why.
(Especially in front of certain people, yes?)
Hmmph. Take me seriously maybe just a little bit more sometimes?
(This is a cowardly way to go about this.)


4. I think I should regret what I did, but it was probably what was best.
I'm sorry, but I don't think I had a choice.
I'd rather be honest with myself (and with you) than go through another year like last.

5. Sometimes... I worry that I'm doing something wrong.
I want to be there and I want to be open, but I don't want to scare you away (or something)
So just tell me, because I'm kind of dumb in that way.
As you know.
(You're awesome and I don't want to do something wrong)

6. Fuck, you're really really cute.
Yes.
(And you have an interesting mind, too)
But there's no way in hell anything would ever happen.
(A bit out of my league, yes?)

7. Hmm. You're purty awesome.
And writing movie scripts also sounds purty awesome. (But I won't ask, although I want to)

8. /Please/ don't worry about what I think about you. I happen to think you're pretty sweet, and you have much more important things to occupy yourself with. 8D

9. You asked for stories I could give you. I don't really have any. I just make stuff up. It seems to be what I'm good at.

10. ...I worry that I listen to you too much. I know that you love and care about me, but I don't want to rely on you to make all of my decisions for me, which sometimes seems to be what you're trying to do.
(That's not fair, I know.)

11. HAHAH I am a loser for forgetting this.
BUT:
You are wonderful. Thanks for sticking with me.
Middle school sucks, and you WILL get out of it alive if it's the last thing I do.

If you want to do this, you're tagged.
(Although I do tag >:])

In other news:
Life's been going well.
Apologies for my lack of writing. I've kind of been in a slump.
And apologies for my lack of eloquent journals. I'm not very good at those.
AND WE'RE DONE.

Um. My 16th birthday is in 3 weeks. Exciting.

*insert rant about real-world stuff*

Some brief features/whatever you call them(I'll try to do one or two every journal, I guess):


Clever, honest, very smart, and sweet!
[link]


It's hard to find someone as honest as this. And honesty is a good thing, in this case...
[link]


I don't know much about photography, but I do know that this is good.

I will get better at these, maybe...

(The show involves multiple high school bands/musicians playing in a suburban backyard. And me, apparently.)
I need two or three things to read... I'm not sure of what I should pick.
Advice on this would be great.

Leave a comment and I will:

a) tell you why I friended you,
b) associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.,
c) tell you something I like about you,
d) tell you a memory I have of you,
e) ask something I've always wanted to know about you,

-I'm 15, female (!), and a freshman- but only for three more weeks. BWAHAHA.
-I live in New Jersey, which is my all-purpose excuse for everything.
-Um... well, my writing... I started to start doing it much more seriously about a year and a half ago, and I've gotten much better (I think) since I've started. Sometimes I can be too pretentious and abstract for my own good, but I think that I can come up with some fairly decent stuff on occasion.
-I LOVE anything that has to do with astronomy/cosmology/theoretical physics, and science in general. Philosophy, too... the weirder the discussion, the better.
-I like politics and I have my opinions (they lean way left), but I hate arguing. I'll talk about it, but I'll try to avoid offending anyone, which might mean that I might not be very interesting.
-Music-wise: I've been playing the cello for about nine years. My favorite bands/artists spread across multiple genres, and they include stuff like Jim Croce (if you've heard of him, you get a reward), Simon and Garfunkel, Billy Joel (...he's good!), AC/DC, Elliott Smith, Poets of the Fall (reward for this, too), Nick Drake, Led Zeppelin, Pete Seeger, and many more.
-I hate talking about myself, which might come as a surprise. So I'll stop now. But you can ask me stuff, if you feel the urge to for some reason.

The meetings are awful; we basically sit for twenty minutes during Monday's lunch doing absolutely nothing, and then are talked at for two minutes.
There is no respect, and there is nothing of interest.
But I submitted a few things anyway... and they said that they were going to put my "interlude" poem (which, uh, is on the Poetry board somewhere) in the Winter Poetry Issue. Hargleblargledingdongwoohoo.
In spite of myself, I was excited.
To make a long story short... the magazine came out yesterday.
Guess whose poem wasn't in there?
You got it.
>_< I shouldn't be mad about this. But I am, because they told me they'd put it in...
...and my inner snob is saying this: "Look at all this crap that they published! Where is MY thing? If their stuff is good enough..." blah blah blah.

So. Yes. It's not a big deal, but I'm frustrated.
And after I got out of the meeting, I wrote that poem, "Basement Sickness", which is now sitting in my gallery. >_<

1. She’s got style, that woman
2. Fat and docile, big and dumb
3. She stood by the window and let down her hair
4. After all these implements and texts designed by intellects
5. Look out of any window- any morning, any evening, any day
6. Hey, baby, tell me what we’re gonna do
7. Ali dances, and the audience applauds
8. Sometimes I know there is nothing to say
9. In every heart, there is a room
**10. Load up on guns, bring your friends
11. This world will never be what I expected
12. This is the song that reminds me of my trucker hat
13. You dust the bottles on the bar counter
14. Everyone’s life is bittersweet
15. Morning comes slow today
16. Last week, I had the strangest dream, that everything was exactly how it seemed
17. Seems to matter what I do, so I'm saving this for you
18. I never loved nobody fully
19. Celia, you’re breaking my heart
20. Saturday night, and the moon is out
21. You may tire of me when our December sun is setting
22. Seems like such a long time ago- I was walking down a lonely road
23. I’d rather be a sparrow than a snail
24. I roll the window down, and then begin to breathe in
25. And it came to me then that every plan is a tiny prayer to Father Time
26. Well, you ask me ‘bout the clothes I wear
27. Spent my days with a woman unkind
28. I walked the distance, I paid my dues, and I tried to have a go at what I thought I knew was real
29. Papa come quick- Jody’s gone to the city
30. It starts with… one thing- I don’t know why
31. We all came out to Montreux
32. Idle juvenile on the street, on the street
33. In the middle of the night, I was walking in my sleep
34. It’s a still-life watercolor in a now-late afternoon
35. This song goes out to my good friends
36. Hey, fellas, have you heard the news?
37. Baltimore oriole…

I'm happy to say that I survived Valentine's Day. Although I'm surprised that Strings did, after what I did to her. But that's a long, pointless story.
And... if anyone wants to hear it, that would make a good journal, apparently. So says the annoying one across the room.
This should be enough to satisfy Strings, so I'm shutting up now.

Thanks to those who've commented on/favorited our stuff... Sebastian and I both appreciate it much. (And the watches, too ^_^)

I'm so bad at writing journals; I really have nothing to say. (Which is why I always get Sebastian to do it.)
If anyone is up for some kind of a prompt-trade deal, I would love to. I think Seb, would, also. -shrug- But I have to ask him.
Before this beomces even more boring than it already is, I'm going to sign off. Hopefully I'll have something interesting to say soon...

I've been trying to write too much recently. It's been screwing me up.

Well... neither of us have said anything here in over a week, so I figured I should.
Why, I don't really know. But I sort of feel an obligation to.
Hmm. Well. I never have a party for New Year's (or most holidays, really), but I went to one last night. I think it might've been a mistake. I won't go into details, since it's really not that interesting.

Thanks to ~macabrexheart for her brilliant drawing of Marius...

I thought it might be an interesting idea to try poetry requests. I don't know how that would work, exactly, but I was talking to Sebastian about it, and I think we'd be better at those than art requests.
So if you have anything... just tell us. And say who you want to write it. ((I doubt anyone's going to, but I guess you never know.))

And that's all for this pathetic entry now.
Except that "Led Poisoning" got a good review from a crucial source. And that's all I'll say.

((I'll try to get Sebastian to write something soon. Or even Marius.))

MARIUS: Come on, dude. She's too nice to kill me. And I'll already be dead.
SEBASTIAN: Shut up. And stop leaning on my shoulder.
MARIUS: You said that I could write the journal. And now you're taking over the computer.
SEBASTIAN: Okay, then. Write something.
MARIUS: Uh..........
SEBASTIAN: Nice.
MARIUS: Nolo contendere.
SEBASTIAN: You could talk about your Latin.
MARIUS: Oh, yeah. My mad language skillz.
SEBASTIAN: -eye roll- I'm getting more food. The keyboard is yours.
MARIUS: SUPER.
...except that I have to go now. Next time I come over.
SEBASTIAN: You're such a moron. Strings is coming over tomorrow. Want to come?
MARIUS: You're hilarious, Seb. Sure.
SEBASTIAN: Great. Write more tomorrow.
Bye.
MARIUS: Valete!

I woke up late, and so I barely had time to eat anything, and I got a stomachache from that. Also, because I was hurrying, I forgot most of my homework... the only thing I actually remembered was my Latin, which didn't help, because I already owed her a lunch detention.
I said something that was @#$%ing idiotic in Bio today, and in Geometry I forgot my homework, which made my Geometry teacher call on me when she knew I didn't have the answers. In English, I forgot the big poem assignment, so I had to stay after school-- more on that later.
I was stuck with Marius in Latin detention, also, which sucked because we weren't allowed to talk. She made us do translations until lunch was over.
The rest of the day dragged until last period, which was gym. I forgot my gym clothes at home, also, so everyone was staring at me. Which was wonderful. I also screwed up the rope thing by knocking over this pole that made everyone have to go back to the beginning of the obstacle course thing that we were doing. Which was absolutely brilliant on my part.
Ah. And English detention. I was going to walk home with Marius and Strings today, but I couldn't. So I was stuck having to rewrite my poem in the freezing-cold English room with my teacher staring at me the whole time. I handed it in, and she graded it right there. I got a D+ on it.
Maybe I'll post it sometime. Or not. Since, of course, it was only worth a 68%.
Oh. Yes. And I twisted my ankle on the ice on my way home. And I had multiple hours of homework to do. Nice day.
That's enough. Bye.

(And, just for the record, I'm censoring my swears so that Strings doesn't @#$%ing murder me.)
I was supposed to go over to Strings' house today, but I have... how many hours of homework? Maybe five. I love how teachers do that the week before break. So I've been stuck inside all day, doing @#$%ing essays that no one wants to read, and @#$%ing lab reports on experiments that everyone already knows the answers to. Joy. I'm learning. Really, I am. I know the best companies to go to for science lab dittos. And I know that spellcheck and powerpoint don't always work together. That's the important stuff. Who cares that I'm not learning any biology?
But... anyway. The fact that I have a DeviantArt is good. I'm enjoying it. If you're reading this (and who is? I don't even know), thank you, I guess. Unless you're some @#$%ed up pervert. Then get the @#$% out of here.
Watch Strings want to delete this. I'll shut up now so that she doesn't have more reason to get rid of it. Bye.
