I finally got my lazy ass a job <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Aren't you proud of me? ... don't answer that. <br /><br />Anywho, about the title, my cousin had a deal with me that she'd give us her old SNES (along with a few games) if I got a job, and even though I didn't really need that as encouragement I'm happy to oblige. <br /><br />Super Mario World, here I come! XD<br /><br />Oh yeah, and I got my tickets to the David Cook concert, I got 2nd f***ing row! I'm so excited, you have no idea! Sept. 5th can't get here fast enough.<br /><br />So yeah, that's about it for now, just the two most exciting things for me right now and I felt the need to tell you people. <br /><br /><br />Well, I think I'm going to have to go to bed now, it's 2:41 in the morning and I have a horrible migraine.<br /><br />Toodles!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, it's been like a month since I last posted a journal, just thought I'd check in and all...what's up?<br /><br />But seriously, just wanted to let those of you who care know that I took some new pictures recently (mostly flower and sky shots, big surprise) and as soon as I edit them I'll have those up, probably late next week or something.<br /><br />Also, (random) I'm super excited because school ends next week (hence why late next week for the pics), I have finals early in the week and then I'm done for the summer! Well, done with school anyway, I still have to get a job, but I'm happy about that because it means I'll actually have money for once, yay!<br /><br />So...yeah, that's what's kind of new with me...just in case you were wondering. Probably not, but now you know anyway!<br /><br />~N.S.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everybody,<br /><br />I'm participating in the Race For Hope, D.C. as a virtual runner for Team David Cook this year and I really would like your support.<br /><br />Race For Hope - DC is a 5K run/walk that goes through the streets of Washington D.C. every year. It benefits both the National Brain Tumor Society and Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure. Race For Hope is currently in its twelfth year and over the years has raised millions of dollars to fund the research and support services of brain tumors. It is one of the largest fundraising events in the country for the brain cancer community.<br /><br />Currently, Team David Cook has raised over $65,000 alone. Our newest goal is $75,000. We have met all of our previous goals, please help us to reach this one!<br /><br />The Race is on May 3rd so we only have nine days left to complete our goal, you don't have to give an arm and a leg, but a little bit can go a long way.<br /><br />You can donate by going here: <b><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.braintumorcommunity.org/goto/nstreets">My Donation Page</a></b><br /><br />For more information on Race For Hope - DC you can visit their homepage <b><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.braintumorcommunity.org/site/PageServer?pagename=RFHDC09_Homepage">here</a></b>.<br /><br /><b>EDIT:</b><br />We have now raised over $72,000!! We're #2 in ranking of most money raised for the cause! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /> We're so close now, just a bit more and we'll meet our goal of $75,000! <br /><br /><b>EDIT #2:</b><br />OMG, we made the #1 team!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /> We've now raised over $93,000!!

I know I made a big deal when I left (sort of) so I don't really want to do that now...just thought I'd let y'all know that I decided to come back and I'm not leaving again this time. I just needed to sort some shit out and at the time leaving helped with that, so thanks for (hopefully) putting up with my crap.<br /><br />-N.S.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ But I fear I must take my leave from deviantArt, indefinitely. I know there are things and people that I'll miss on here, but over the past few months I've found that all the things I used to love about this site, and in fact all the reasons I initially came here for, are gone. The cons outweigh the pros in this case and I need to move on to bigger and better things. <br /><br /> I'm planning on taking down all of my art, it just doesn't seem right to leave it after I'm gone. So sorry if you have any favorites on any of my stuff.<br /><br />Oh, and if any of you <i>do</i> want to keep in touch you can find me on Myspace as <a href="http://myspace.com/squeezil">Squeezil</a>.<br /><br />Thanks all, take care. <br /><br />-N.S.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Sorry about the pun (for those of you who'll understand anyway...), heh, I just had to (plus it's sort of true).<br /><br />Yesterday was one of the best days of my life. I shit you not. For those of you who like American Idol and know/like the idols, this is for you. For everyone else...it doesn't really matter if you read this (and honestly, I don't care if you don't like them):<br /><br />Okay, so yesterday I went to meet the buses when they came in so that I could potentially  see the idols (one in particular *cough*David Cook*cough*). I know, I'm obsessed, but I don't honestly care. I got to meet all of them, and I got all of my favorites' autographs. I waited for about 5-6 hours to see David Cook...who sadly didn't come out in the afternoon <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> but while waiting I met everyone except Ramiele, David Cook, and Syesha. I also met this really awesome David Cook fan who was around my mom's age, oddly enough, and we got to be friends and when I told her I couldn't afford to go to the show she offered to buy me a ticket! I didn't feel quite right accepting, but she insisted, so I basically got to see them live for free, it was fucking <u>awesome</u>. <br /><br />And then after the show we went back out to meet them because they were all supposed to come out then and I got to finally meet David Cook, unfortunately by the time he got down to us he only had two minutes left and couldn't take pictures with us or give us hugs or anything, but I got him to sign my guitar, so that was really cool. Oh yeah, I also got to hug David A., Chikeze, and Syesha. I really wanted to talk to David Cook but I was so starstruck I couldn't get more than a 'thank you so much' out sadly, but he was in a hurry anyway 'cause they had to leave by midnight (it was about 11:58 when he got to us). But I did get to talk to Syesha, David A., and Kristy Lee Cook, who by the way is soo nice and a much better performer than she used to be. Not that they all weren't really nice and great performers. Oh, and if there are any David C. fans out there, he is AMAZING in concert. No exaggeration there whatsoever. Just thought you might want to know.<br /><br />Weeeelll, anyway, long story short I got to meet the idols, get their autographs, and take pictures, SO, for those of you who care I'll probably post some of said pictures eventually.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ In every sense of the saying. I'm so fed up with my goddamn life right now, it's not even funny (then again, when is that ever?). I can't even convey how pissed and desperate I am right now...I just can't. In fact, the only reason I'm writing this is for my own benefit, not so that I can have a bunch of people I barely know telling me they're there for me when they live halfway across the country/world (no offense to any of you, you're all cool people, it just doesn't really help). I suppose as a fore-warning I should say that this is a rant of sorts, and it <i>will</i> contain swearing. So if you don't like that, stop reading here; unless you live in Portland, in which case scroll down to the paragraph headed with **, there's no rant, I promise.<br /><br />  I am so sick of this shit! My life has been going downhill since...well okay, it's been downhill for a while now, but it started to go underground (to keep with the metaphor) in the past year or two. It's not bad enough I have to deal with my ever increasing feelings of depression all by myself because I'm too poor to afford counselling and none of my friends seem to give a shit, but now I found out that I have to take TEN classes just to get my fucking diploma! Basically meaning that I have to forego starting college with my friends to finish fucking highschool. I'm really pissed about that, so pissed you can't even fucking know. <br />  My mural is nowhere near finished and absolutely NO ONE has offered to help since school let out. I'm at my fucking wit's end here! In fact, most of my friends must be pretty damn busy cause they never seem to want to talk to me, let alone spend time with me (heaven forbid!). Which makes me feel just <b>peachy</b>. <br />  Okay, I'm sick and tired of people calling me emo. FUCK YOU, ASSWIPE! If you think I'm emo, you can just kiss my ass, 'cause you don't even know what you're talking about. The stupid fucking 'emo' fad started a few years ago (to my knowledge), and I've felt like this since I was in the <b>THIRD GRADE</b>, you ass. So don't tell me that I need to lighten up or whatever, it's not that fucking easy! I hate it when people make fun of/don't understand people with depression. Depression isn't something that you just have one day and then the next day you're happy again; it's something that lingers with you for several years, possibly your entire life. It slowly eats away at you, bit by bit, until there's nothing left (often literally, depending on the person). If you've never had it you couldn't possibly understand the stabbing pain that you feel whenever you're alone, the heartwrenching grief that you feel for no reason at all, and the uncontrolable sobbing that ensues late at night when you can't sleep; so don't tell me that you know what I'm going through, and please for the love of god don't tell me that everything will be okay. Nothing will be okay. How could you possibly know that?. Right now all I fucking hear are lies and disappointments, I kind of hate people as a whole right now, including myself most of the time.<br />  Included in my little 'hating of everyone' is a certain person of my accquaintence (who shall remain nameless) that I used to consider a good friend, but now I'm not really sure what to think of them. For approx. three-four months they've been acting as though we barely know each other, despite the fact that we've been friends for several years. I used to feel like I could trust this person, but now I think I'd rather just forget them. You see, this isn't the first time this has happened, and I've had just about all I can take of their shit. I realized, in retrospect, that the main reason I tried so hard to make our friendship work was that I saw this person as somewhat of a little-sibling type, and I guess I felt the need to be there for them, protect, and help them, you get the picture. But apparently they'd rather spend their time with someone who mocks and berates them on a daily basis, and who even believes them to be stupid (which I know they are not, though they sure as hell act like it!), which I personally can't stand. Obviously I still have feelings for this person, but colder is the heart left untouched, eh? I wouldn't be surprised if soon I disliked them all together.<br /> <br />  **Oh, and on a different note, if anyone from Portland knows about a free/sliding scale mental clinic in or near town could you let me know? If you do that'd be really helpful, as unlikely as it is.<br /><br />  Well, I suppose that's the end of my rant...I don't know if that'll help or not, but I needed to say it.<br /><br />3:34am, Naomi S.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Heeeey there, sorry I've been somewhat MIA lately, I've just been extremely busy this past year what with trying to get credit to graduate and all...speaking of which, I didn't (it's a looong story). But fear not, those of you who care, I'm going to get my diploma over the summer (hopefully!) so that I can still go to college in the fall. I realize that's an insane amount of school, but I refuse to settle for a stupid GED. <br /><br />In other news...I'm painting a mural at my school...or my old school(?) I guess, and when I'm (finally) done I'll take pictures and let y'all see <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Oh, and to my friends that live in Portland, if you feel like being nice I'd appreciate help with that <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/please.gif" width="15" height="22" alt=":please:" title="Please" />  <br /><br />Other than that I've been ok I gue...well, okay, no. I haven't been ok. Not really, but maybe with summer will come a new, better take on my situation? ....I sure as hell hope so. <br /><br />That's all for now folks, Tune in next time!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ First off, happy holidays to everyone. I'm sort of glad Christmas is over with now...at least for me anyway. I mean, I like Christmas, don't get me wrong, it's fun and all...but I've just been doing stuff non-stop for the past week or two and it's been kind of hectic. I'm thankful for the rest finally. <br />
<br />
And now for something completely different! (I love Monty-Python <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> ) My birthday is in two days!! My <i>eighteenth</i> birthday to be exact! I'm so excited <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I'm having just a nice family birthday on my actual birthday and then on the weekend I'm gonna do something special with a few select friends. It should be pretty fun. Turning eighteen is so much better than turning sixteen, you can do so much more (vote, buy porn, etc.), hence my excitement.<br />
<br />
Well, anyway, I just wanted to check in, hope those of you who celebrate holidays had good ones, and otherwise had a good day, I'll talk to you later!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Taken from *<a class="u" href="http://beblue.deviantart.com/">beblue</a>.<br />
<br />
QUESTIONS ABOUT YOU<br />
<b>What made you start dolling?</b><br />
<br />
Well, deviantArt, actually. If I remember correctly I was browsing one day and happened to stumble across a stunning piece of pixel work and I was instantly fascinated. I looked more into it and found that it was quite fun, and not too difficult (though my beginning dolls were crap, but that's what practice is for, right?)<br />
<br />
<b>How long have you been dolling?</b><br />
<br />
Hmm...About, two years, give or take a few months.<br />
<br />
<b>What's the first doll site that you discovered?</b><br />
<br />
I think it was <a href="http://www.pinkland.net">Pinkland</a>, because those were the first bases I ever used. I loved her stuff back then.<br />
<br />
<b>What program do you use?</b><br />
<br />
I'm still using M.S. Paint, but I like it. Any other program is weird to me.<br />
<br />
<b>What kinds of bases do you like?</b><br />
<br />
I like whatever suits my needs, to be honest. I usually go for somewhat realistic bases, not completely realistic because they're too complex. I sometimes like chibi bases, but only occasionally.<br />
<br />
<b>What are your favorite things to doll?</b><br />
<br />
My friends, and myself mostly. Pretty much anything that's midly realistic, or that displays human nature. <br />
<br />
<b>What do you hate to doll?</b><br />
<br />
Hmm...Hair, for one. It's still tough for me, though I'm getting better at it. Shoes often give me trouble, and I still need to work on creases/folds in clothing. As for actually types of things that I don't like I'd have to say there's few things I don't, but probably some fantasy type things aren't really very interesting to me to draw. I don't like doing "dark" or gruesome dolls, ones involving blood and gore and/or anything else of the sort. <br />
<br />
ABOUT THE ART<br />
<b>What is your favorite doll of yours?</b><br />
<br />
At the moment, I'd have to say the one that I have here titled as <a href="http://squeezil.deviantart.com/art/One-Smart-Cookie-62081454">One Smart Cookie</a>, though I think one of the ones I'm currently working on will probably take it's place soon.<br />
<br />
<b>What is your least favorite doll?</b><br />
<br />
Probably this one that's in my scraps: <a href="http://squeezil.deviantart.com/art/Leo-26913835">Leo</a>. I hated it even when I first made it, it just didn't turn out right.<br />
<br />
<b>Link to three of your favorite dolls by other people.</b><br />
<br />
I think <a href="http://vanjau.deviantart.com/art/Sub-18634810">this</a> may have been one of the pieces that first inspired me to get into pixel art in the first place. <br />
<br />
If you like Star Wars and have a sense of humor than =<a class="u" href="http://beautifuloblivion.deviantart.com/">BeautifulOblivion</a> (a.k.a. <a href="http://www.imperialgirl.co.uk/mib.htm">Terence</a>) has the perfect piece for you! <a href="http://beautifuloblivion.deviantart.com/art/That-Bikini-63983830">Check it out</a><br />
<br />
And I suppose the last one would have to be <a href="http://jethyn.deviantart.com/art/Smexy-purple-princess-67875314">"Smexy Purple Princess"</a> by ~<a class="u" href="http://jethyn.deviantart.com/">Jethyn</a> The detail is great, and the colors are just purdy :3<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Just a little quizzy-type thing that I thought would help me to not be bored <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /> Oh yeah, stolen from *<a class="u" href="http://rimfrost.deviantart.com/">Rimfrost</a> by the way, check her out, she's pretty cool.<br />
<br />
1. When you looked at yourself in the mirror today, what was the first thing you said? Nothing, I don't talk much that early in the morning.<br />
<br />
2. When is the next time you will make out? Umm...well, I suppose that would be the first time I do, whenever that'll be <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /><br />
<br />
3. What's a word that rhymes with "LUCK"? Well we all know the obvious answer, so I'll go with "stuck".<br />
<br />
4. What's your favorite planet? Saturn!! Definitely, or Earth, since it is my home after all <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":p" title=":p (Lick)" /><br />
<br />
5. Who's the 4th person on your missed calls list? Jenny.<br />
<br />
6. What is your favorite ring tone on your phone? I don't really have one (I can't get special ones 'cause they cost extra <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> ).<br />
<br />
7. What shirt are you wearing right now? My super cozy night-shirt that is way to big for me and says "Dude, I like what I like" on it next to three little ducks where two are the same and one is different, it's cute. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br />
<br />
8. What do you "label" yourself as? Insecure? I don't really understand the question I guess; if you mean it in terms of which social group I identify best with, then nothing really.<br />
<br />
9. Name the brand of shoes you're currently wearing? Phht..like I'd wear shoes around my house! Socks all the way baby!<br />
<br />
10. Bright or dark room? I prefer colors inbetween light and dark, too bright bugs me and makes me feel a little too girly, whereas dark colors kind of make me feel either depressed or like people will think I'm emo or something <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bleh.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":bleh:" title="Bleh" /> (though at the moment my room is completely white..yuck)<br />
<br />
11. What do you think about the person who last took the survey? I thinks she's pretty awesome, and I love her comics! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
12. If you're alone in a room with two beds, which one do you sleep on? Depends on the beds really...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br />
<br />
13. What were you doing at midnight last night? Sleeping. I went to bed early 'cause I had a headache >_<<br />
<br />
14. What did your last text message you received on your mobile say? "Bye. Talk to you later."<br />
<br />
15. What just so happens to be the best song in the world? How could I possibly answer that?! I love way too many songs to choose...<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been thinking a great deal lately about my life, where it's going, and who I share it with. I realized over the past few days that living in the past and holding grudges really does you no good, and it's not that I didn't already know that, I did, I just never really put much thought into until now. <br />
Someone's recently come into my world who makes me look at things very differently, not necessarily always in a good way mind you, but different nonetheless. This has caused me to rethink several aspects of my life, such as why it's so important to me to have everything perfect, or why I feel the need to hold against people things that happened long ago (getting back to the grudge thing). <br />
I've been feeling the odd need to reconnect with a person that I used to hang out with (I don't know if I'd call us friends per se, more like friendly acquaintances.) but then everytime I feel that way I remember all the reasons why we're no longer on friendly terms. I guess that this person who's changing my view on things is making me feel that I need to be a better person. Which is a good thing, but at the same time it makes me wonder if that means I'm a bad person. I often feel that way, but deep down I know that my intentions are good, even if it doesn't always appear so. <br />
It's funny how one seemingly small change in your life can have such a major impact on your perception of the world, and of yourself.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, how is everyone? I don't really have much to talk about, to be honest, I just really need people to talk to...I've been feeling particularly lonely lately, and very unheard. Though I suppose online conversation wouldn't really make much of a difference anyway, would it? Oh well, it was worth a shot. <br />
So long folks. <br />
<br />
*Edit* <br />
Wow. No one responded...at all. That makes me feel better...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Well I finally got my ass in gear and started to put it together...<i>However</i>, I have yet to select a decent name for it. That's where you guys come in! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Any suggestions are welcome, so please give me some ideas, they can be as crazy or weird as you like, in fact I might like those better! I may even throw in a prize for whoever gives me the name I choose...just a thought there <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> (prize most likely being whatever you'd like me to doll for you.)<br />
<br />
*Edit*<br />
Alright, since I wasn't clear enough before, this website is going to be mostly a showcase of my pixel artwork, and possibly some of my poetry/other artwork as well.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, today was technically my first day back to school, but we went on a field trip instead of being in the classroom. We're going on another one tomorrow, but I'm not looking forward to it because it's supposedly very boring and tiring...yippee. Nonetheless I'm happy to see all of my friends again and to know that at the end of this year I'll be graduating! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /><br />
<br />
In other news...<br />
<br />
I've been busy with my dolling efforts lately, I'm currently working on at least three or so different dolls, two of which are for contests <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> I'm really having a lot of fun with it all.<br />
<br />
In short, life is good for the time being.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I think I'm one of the worst procrastinators I know. I know I said I'd have my new art up in a few days about a month ago, but the thing is (like usual) I spoke too soon and then got busy with summer school and moving. Oy. Anyway, I'm working on some new pixel art, and I get done with summer school tomorrow (whoohoo!) so I think maybe by Saturday I'll start putting stuff up, but I advise you not to take my word on it, because you know me <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> <br />
For you Star Wars fans I'm doing a Luke Skywalker doll just for fun, and I'm doing a request for a friend that I might also put up, among other things. That's about it for now, I'll be back in a day or two. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, so since my last journal I'm doing a lot better. Just thought I'd let you all know. Our school's graduation was last thursday and I was late (no surprise there) but I still got to see everything I wanted to see. It's going to be weird not having the seniors around, they make things way more fun. Hopefully I'll get to see some of them later on. <br />
<br />
Looks like I'll probably be moving sometime in July, we're not really sure yet though. I finally got to see the house, but only from the outside because the guy that currently owns it still lives there. It's so weird to be leaving this neighborhood after all this time, but there isn't anything I can do about it. I just try not to think about the whole thing, whenever my mom brings it up I just kind of tune her out. I know I should try to get used the the fact that we have to go, but I just...can't, not yet anyway.<br />
<br />
Well, my dance class performed on friday and it was awesome! I had so much fun, despite how hectic it was to change between dances. And I got a lot of compliments on my dancing afterwards. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
I guess that's all for now. Bye.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Disregard my last journal please, I have my reasons. Before you actually bother to read this know that it's not really important, and that you needn't comment on it. It's simply here to occupy space. Sometimes that's how I feel, but I know it isn't true, so don't tell me. I'm just going to rant know, and to some of you it may seem 'emo' or...whatever, but I really couldn't care less, so if you think that way, please stop reading (that is if you've read this far). I think I might be having (yet another?) nervous breakdown. I've been having those episodes of extreme sadness again, just like last year, where I just have to cry to make it better, and I don't know why. I think it's stress for one, but I think there's got to be something else there...something more serious. There just has to be. For as long as I can remember I've always had something eating away at me, making it so little things get me so upset. I just wish it would stop, that it would go away. But it won't. I hate this, I really do. I should stop, I don't want anyone to think I'm back to the way I was last year...there's just no one who will listen anymore...they're all tired of my shit, and so am I.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -<br />
<br />
How do you say "I love you" without actually saying "I love you"? If you say "I have a crush on you" it sounds childish and unimportant, if you say "I like you" it seems you don't like them enough, if you flat out say "I love you" then you like them <i>too</i> much. And if you say "I have feelings for you" then you just sound like a yuppie. So it comes right down to it, how do you say that, without actually saying it? Would you say anything at all, or should you just make some outstanding gesture that lets them know? Sometimes I wonder what it's all for, what it's all about. Why do we do it? Why do we put ourselves through it? Love is curious thing. You never know just what will happen until it's too late. Sometimes I wish that I didn't have to do it, that I could just watch everyone else act like idiots...but I can't help myself, it just happens, sweeping me up in it until I don't know what's up, down or sideways. Then it drops me on my ass every time. It's a funny thing really, I never learn. But then I suppose that goes with the territory when you're a hopless romantic. That natural naivety will be my downfall, I know it. Oh well, what can ya' do? I'd better stop now before I go on too far, because I know I'm quite capable of such rambling. So if you actually read this, congratulations, this is the end. You made it.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

It's not quite as nice as his old place, but it's alright, plus I get a kitty to play with, so it's all good. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> My dad's new girlfriend adopted this adorable little siamese kitten, and he's so sweet, but pretty shy. <br />
<br />
I'm going to try to work on some new stuff to submit soon, but it's still mostly in the thought process right now. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Mostly it'll be pixel stuff, but who knows, maybe I'll do something else.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ A lot's been going on since my last journal. I've realized a few things, had to come to grips with those things, and am attempting to deal with them as best I can. And on top of all that I have to try to get all my late work in for my classes so I can pass, as well as try to finish all of the old projects I've started (I have a nasty habit of not finishing what I've started) and I have to try harder to figure out what caused me to be depressed in the first place....Wow, I have a lot on my plate right now, and to be honest I'm not all that hungry yet. But, I better get it all over with as soon as possible I suppose, the sooner the better right?<br />
<br />
Sorry, I won't bother you with my petty concerns any longer. <br />
<br />
Besides those things I feel pretty well actually, all in all I'm a hell of a lot better than I was last month. Compared to that, I feel great! I recently started to practice piano more (yay!) something I've been meaning to do for quite some time, I just never had the proper means to do so, until now. And thanks to the inspiration of my english teacher and the IPRC as well as a few assorted writers, I've been motivated to create my own zine, which already has what I like to refer to as a prototype. It might be considered the first issue, but it's really small and not as complex as I'd like, so I'm going to redo it and call that the finished product. I feel like I can actually accomplish things now, it's a wonderful feeling.<br />
<br />
All of the sudden I can see at least two major goals for me that are actually within my grasp currently and I think I'm gonna go for it, there's only one thing that might hold me back, and I'm thinking that whether I like it or not it's slowly slipping out of my life. So soon there'll be nothing getting in the way of what I really want to do with my life. Yippee.<br />
<br />
Well sorry about the long rambling, and thanks to anyone who actually bothered to read it. <br />
<br />
See ya' people. ]]></description>

In the end, you need to choose the next 6(or as many as you know xD ) people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" in their devpage comments and tell them to read your journal.<br />
<br />
So here goes:<br />
<br />
1. When I'm all alone I sing constantly.<br />
<br />
2. I love erotic prose (for it's in depth detail, not for...well, you know).<br />
<br />
3. I like going to school (ok, it's not that weird, but hey <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /> )<br />
<br />
4. When I'm particularly nervous or anxious I tend to chew on or bite things. <br />
<br />
5. Weekends make me sad.<br />
<br />
6. I always enjoy hearing about small children that swear or do/know other things that most people think they shouldn't at their age.<br />
<br />
Umm...Yeah, you don't have to if you don't want to, but here:<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Sorry about the title if it seemed pushy or anything, I just couldn't really be bothered to think up a clever title :B<br />
<br />
First off, I want to know if any of you have heard of a band called Shinedown? They are an extremely gifted bunch of guys and I love 'em a lot. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not some creepy fangirl or anything, but I think that if you're interested and have the time that you should stop by their site and check them out because they aren't very well known and I think they deserve a bit more recognition.<br />
<br />
If you'd like, the site is <a href="http://www.shinedown.com">www.shinedown.com<a><br />
<br />
Anywho, for those of you who care, I might be submitting some new drawings soon, but they'll probably go to my scraps unless I really like them a lot. And there also might be a new doll or two, we'll see. <br />
<br />
I'm thinking of taking requests and maybe even commisions (that is if I can figure out the whole payment issue, by the way, if you can help me with ideas I'd love it! Just note me ^^) But of course, since I'm still not nessecarily very good at that sort of thing they'd have to be not too demanding or anything...However, I'm still only thinking about it so it's not for sure yet.</a></a> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ That the brave may not live long, but the cautious do not live at all...Hmm, well if that's true than I must be a member of the living dead. O_o <br />
<br />
  It has recently been brought to my attention by that little bird that brings new insights that I have been far too careful where I place each step, for far too long. I'd gotten so used to it that I hadn't even noticed how bad it's become. It seems that all of the sudden everything (and almost everyone as well, ehem, you know who you are) is telling me to just jump off the ledge and try not to think about whether or not there will be a pair of arms to catch me. <br />
  <br />
  I'm not sure I remember how to take a leap of faith, to put it simply. I've been the same quiet, cautious little person for so long, I don't know what it's like to be different anymore...It's sort of sad really...But...Maybe, just maybe if I have a tiny push in the right direction I won't fall flat on my face?...I'm not sure...But, then again, I can't stay this way forever...And perhaps this is just what I need to finally get to that locked door that I've often walked past, longing to know what was on the other side, and finally have it open up and let me in...<br />
<br />
Hmm, wouldn't that be nice? ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>This was something in ~<a class="u" href="http://tiylos.deviantart.com/">Tiylos</a>'s journal that I thought seemed rather important.</b><br />
<br />
IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT AREA CODE<br />
We actually recieved a call last week from the 809 area code. the woman said "Hey, this is Karen. Sorry I missed you--get back to us quickly. Have something important to tell you." Then she repeated a phone number beginning with 809. "We didn't respond".<br />
<br />
Then this week, we recieved the following e-mail:<br />
<br />
Subject: DON'T EVER DIAL AREA CODE 809, 284, AND 876. <br />
<br />
THIS ISVERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION PROVIDED TO US BY AT&T.<br />
DON'T EVER DIAL AREA CODE 809.<br />
<br />
This one is being distributed all over the U.S. This is pretty scary, especially given the way they try to get you to call. Be sure you read this and pass it on to all your friends and family so you don't get scammed!<br />
<br />
MAJOR SCAM:<br />
Don't respond to Emails, phone calls, or web pages that tell you to call an "809" area Phone Number. This is a very important issue of Scam Busters becuase it alerts you to a scam that is spreading extremely quickly, can easily cost you $2400 or more, and is difficult to avoid unless you are aware of it.<br />
<br />
We'd like to think Verizon for bringing this scam to our attention. This scam has also been identified by the National Fraud Information Center and is costing victims lots of money.<br />
<br />
There are a lot of different permutations of this scam.<br />
<br />
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:<br />
<br />
You will recieve a message on your answering machine or your pager, which asks you to call a number beginning with area code 809. the reason you are asked to call varies. It can be to recieve information about a family member who has been ill, to tell you someone has-been arrested, died, to let you know you have won a wonderful prize, ect. In each case, you are told to call the 809 number right away. since there are so many new area codes these days, people unknowingly return these calls. <br />
<br />
If you call from the US, you will apparently be charged $2425 per-minute. Or, you'll get a long recorded message. the point is, they will try to keep you on the phone as long as possible to increase the charges. Unfortunately, when you get your phone bill, you'll often be charged more than $24,100.00.<br />
<br />
WHY IT WORKS: <br />
The 809 area code is located in the British Virgin Islands (the Bahamas). The 809 area code can be used as a "pay-per-call" number, similar to 900 numbers in the US. Since 809 is not in the US, it is not covered by regulations of 900 numbers, which require that you be notified and warned of charges and rates involved when you call a "pay-per-call" number.<br />
<br />
There is also no requirement that the company provide a time period during which you may terminate the call without being charged. Further, whereas many U.S. homes that have 900 number blocking to avoid these kinds of charges, do not work in preventing calls to the 809 area code.<br />
<br />
We recomend that no matter now you get the message, if you are asked to call a number with an 809 area code that you don't recognize, just disregard the message.<br />
<br />
Be wary of e-mail, or calls, asking you to call an 809 area code number. It's important to prevent becoming a victim of this scam, since trying to fight the charges afterwards can become a real nightmare. That's because you did actualy make the call. If you complain, both your local phone company and your long distance carrier will not want to get involved and will most likely tell you that they are simply providing the billing for the foreign company. You'll end up dealing with a foreign company that argues they have dont nothing wrong.<br />
<br />
Please forward this entire message to your friends, family, and colleagues to help them become aware of this scam. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Two roads. But you can only take one path...which way do you go? One leads you to a silent hermitic life while the other leads to a life of constant pain and misery brought upon by the very people you thought you could trust...the people who you thought cared about you. Do you even know them anymore? Did you ever really? I believe it all to be a very good show from a gifted actor. Why is it so cold down this path you've chosen? Is night fall to come without shelter? Will you be left out in the dark alone once more? Or will there actually be a true friend in your midst? Perhaps, or maybe it will all just be the dream of a very troubled young girl. The wish, nay, the hope that someday someone might actually show her what love really is. What it means to not be alone anymore. <br />
She's been wondering what it's like to be noticed for a long time, as well as what it's like to really be cared about and listened to. A very gullible dreamer will believe anyone who says something kind in the presence of tears, but only a fool would let themselves fall victim to a dream like that, one which reality will soon rip apart shred by shred until all that's left are shards of a once happy life. <br />
Do they even realize the pain they bring to her? Do they even notice her crying? Would they even care? Sometimes it's best not to know what people are really like, but if you start to believe in fantasy too closely than it will consume your mind and cloud your judgment leaving you vunerable to the most wicked of preditors: Dishonesty, deceit, mistrust, gullibilty, falsehood, frustration, depression, and last, but never least, Reality.<br />
Fed up with the weary life she's led she finally chooses to end it all. Once the deed is done she wakes up to find that it's just another dream trying to end her pain. Tears stream down her face leaving faint traces of heartbreak. Another lonely night spent in solitude and sadness. For what is a life worth without love? ]]></description>

<br />
Well, how are you all today? I'm doing alright...though I have to spend the next few hours alone while the rest of my family goes to visit my uncle...I can't go, I won't go into why, so don't ask. <br />
<br />
But I'm still happy anyway, I have stuff to keep me occupied until they get back ^^ <br />
<br />
If you've already seen my latest deviation then you already know this, but I plan to do as many of the Zodiac signs in pixels as I feel that I can, so if you want your sign done then just ask. It seemed like fun, so I'm making it somewhat of a project, only this time I think I'll actually do it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> (I promise those things that I said I'd do a LONG time ago will get done..sometime ..eheh..)<br />
<br />
Well, that's it for now I think...uh, have a good day everyone! And also, a happy new year, if I don't say it later. See ya later! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wave.gif" width="25" height="20" alt=":wave:" title="Hi!" /> ]]></description>

 Um...lets see, there may or may not be some new poems rolling in sometime soon...I dunno, I've been having issues lately so we'll see if I write anything <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /> But I'm actually getting help with my issues finally, which I'm quite happy about, I know someone who's a bit like a psychiatrist to a lot of people, I don't know him that well but I can tell already that he's a trustworthy guy...I think that's pretty much it for now, oh, if I don't come on for a while after this it's either one of two things, or both: 1. I have to start on my end of Trimester Portfolio work for my french and english classes *and/or* 2. I've been going through a lot of emotional/social stress lately and have been neglecting a lot of things, including deviantART.<br />

                <title>A Tribute To The Nice Guys:</title>

                <pubDate>Sat, 01 Oct 2005 14:43:20 PDT</pubDate>
                
                <description><![CDATA[ I saw this in ~<a href="http://glarawen.deviantart.com/">glarawen</a>'s journal and I definetly wish I could find a guy like that/ would appreciate him if I knew one.<br />
<br />
<b>This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores. This is in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern. This is in honor of the guys who respect a girls every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style.<br />
<br />
This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once theyre at her door, for the guys who accompany girls to bars as buffers against the rest of the creepy male population, for the guys who know a girl is fishing for compliments but give them out anyway, for the guys who always play by the rules in a game where the rules favor cheaters, for the guys who are accredited as boyfriend material but somehow dont end up being boyfriends, for all the nice guys who are overlooked, underestimated, and unappreciated, for all the nice guys who are manipulated, misled, and unjustly abandoned, this is for you.<br />
<br />
This is for that time she left 40 urgent messages on your cell phone, and when you called her back, she spent three hours painstakingly dissecting two sentences her boyfriend said to her over dinner. And even though you thought her boyfriend was a chump and a jerk, you assured her that it was all ok and she shouldnt worry about it. This is for that time she interrupted the best killing spree youd ever orchestrated in GTA3 to rant about a rumor that romantically linked her and the guy she thinks is the most repulsive person in the world. And even though you thought it was immature and you had nothing against the guy, you paused the game for two hours and helped her concoct a counter-rumor to spread around the floor. This is also for that time she didnt have a date, so after numerous vows that there was nothing serious between the two of you, she dragged you to a party where you knew nobody, the beer was awful, and she flirted shamelessly with you, justifying each fit of reckless teasing by announcing to everyone: oh, but were just friends! And even though you were invited purely as a symbolic warm body for her ego, you went anyways. Because youre nice like that.<br />
<br />
The nice guys dont often get credit where credit is due. And perhaps more disturbing, the nice guys dont seem to get laid as often as they should. And I wish I could logically explain this trend, but I cant. From what I have observed on campus and what I have learned from talking to friends at other schools and in the workplace, the only conclusion I can form is that many girls are just illogical, manipulative bitches. Many of them claim they just want to date a nice guy, but when presented with such a specimen, they say irrational, confusing things such as oh, hes too nice to date or he would be a good boyfriend but hes not for me or he already puts up with so much from me, I couldnt possibly ask him out! or the most frustrating of all: no, it would ruin our friendship. Yet, they continue to lament the lack of datable men in the world, and they expect their too-nice-to-date male friends to sympathize and apologize for the men that are jerks. Sorry, guys, girls like that are beyond my ability to fathom. I cant figure out why the connection breaks down between what they say (I want a nice guy!) and what they do (Im going to sleep with this complete ass now!). But one thing I can do, is say that the nice-guy-finishes-last phenomenon doesnt last forever. There are definitely many girls who grow out of that train of thought and realize they should be dating the nice guys, not taking them for granted. The tricky part is finding those girls, and even trickier, finding the ones that are single.<br />
<br />
So, until those girls are found, I propose a toast to all the nice guys. You know who you are, and I know youre sick of hearing yourself described as ubiquitously nice. But the truth of the matter is, the world needs your patience in the department store, your holding open of doors, your party escorting services, your propensity to be a sucker for a pretty smile. For all the crazy, insane, absurd things you tolerate, for all the situations where you are the faceless, nameless hero, my accolad... ]]></description>

<b>Listenting To:</b> Espionage -- Green Day<br />
<b>Reading:</b> <u>The Catcher In The Rye.</u><br />
 <br />
I got this from ~<a href="http://punkturedstranger.deviantart.com/">punkturedstranger</a> It's sad that these types of things actually happen every day.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>Child abuse<br />
<br />
My name is Sarah<br />
I am but three,<br />
My eyes are swollen<br />
I cannot see,<br />
<br />
I must be stupid<br />
I must be bad,<br />
What else could have made<br />
My daddy so mad?<br />
<br />
I wish I were better<br />
I wish I weren't ugly,<br />
Then maybe my mummy<br />
Would still want to hug me.<br />
<br />
I can't speak at all<br />
I can't do a wrong<br />
Or else I'm locked up<br />
All the day long.<br />
<br />
When I awake<br />
I'm all alone<br />
The house is dark<br />
My folks aren't home<br />
<br />
When my mommy does come<br />
I'll try and be nice,<br />
So maybe I'll get just<br />
One whipping tonight.<br />
<br />
Don't make a sound!<br />
I just heard a car<br />
My daddy is back<br />
From Charlie's Bar.<br />
<br />
I hear him curse<br />
My name he calls<br />
I press myself<br />
Against the wall<br />
<br />
I try and hide<br />
From his evil eyes<br />
I'm so afraid now<br />
I'm starting to cry<br />
<br />
He finds me weeping<br />
He shouts ugly words,<br />
He says its my fault<br />
That he suffers at work.<br />
<br />
He slaps me and hits me<br />
And yells at me more,<br />
I finally get free<br />
And I run for the door.<br />
<br />
He's already locked it<br />
And I start to bawl,<br />
He takes me and throws me<br />
Against the hard wall.<br />
<br />
I fall to the floor<br />
With my bones nearly broken,<br />
And my daddy continues<br />
With more bad words spoken.<br />
<br />
"I'm sorry!", I scream<br />
But its now much too late<br />
His face has been twisted<br />
Into unimaginable hate<br />
<br />
The hurt and the pain<br />
Again and again<br />
Oh please God, have mercy!<br />
Oh please let it end!<br />
<br />
And he finally stops<br />
And heads for the door,<br />
While I lay there motionless<br />
Sprawled on the floor<br />
<br />
My name is Sarah<br />
And I am but three,<br />
Tonight my daddy<br />
Murdered me.</i> <br />
--<br />
This poem, probably made up to make a point, DOES make a point.<br />
<br />
Child abuse isn't something that you can just ignore.<br />
<br />
Don't think, "No one I know would do that/ is a victim of child abuse."<br />
<br />
And if you get the chance, try to donate to Prevent Child Abuse.<br />
<br />
You could save a life. ]]></description>

<b>Listening To:</b> I Caught Fire - The Used <br />
<b>Reading:</b> <u>The Catcher In The Rye</u> - J.D. Salinger. <br />
<br />
<br />
Well, the first week of school is over, and for the most part I think it went pretty well. I got all the classes that I wanted except for Chemistry<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> Oh well, I'll try again next year<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /> I have a little bit of homework to do in a while but I thought I'd take advantage of everyone else being asleep and get on DA to check my messages.<br />
<br />
I haven't had a whole lot of time to work on my projects, but when I do I try to get as much done as possible. <br />
<br />
But school isn't driving me crazy, well, not THIS time anyway. Well, there's one thing on top of everthing else going on in my life (everyone naggin me about doing better in school, getting my homework done, cleaning the house up, etc. and my family annoying the crap out of me<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frustrated.gif" width="40" height="25" alt=":frustrated:" title="frustrated" /> ) that makes me crazy just to think about it. Hmm..I don't know any other way to say it other than to just go out and say it so I guess I will...I'm in love. <br />
<br />
Yes, I said it. I know I might seem a bit young to know what the difference between love and a crush is but, believe me, I suprise even myself with all the things that I shouldn't know yet. I've had crushes on guys before, and this is different. It may just be fakey-teen-love (as I like to call it) but either way, I feel something a lot more than just a crush. <br />
<br />
Anyway, his name is Max...I met him last year and ... yet again sort of hard to believe ... have loved him since <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blushes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":blushes:" title="Blush" /> He's probably one of the sweetest and funniest guys you'll ever meet. There isn't anything I don't like about him. <br />
<br />
If any of you remember some of my earlier poems, there were a couple for him actually <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/embarrassed.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":blush:" title="Blush" /> <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/17769398/">Guardian Angel<a> and my favorite of the two <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/18078965/">State Of Mind<a><br />
<br />
The only reason I haven't told him yet is because he's always had a girlfriend ... there was a about one week where he didn't, but then he started liking this other girl who I'm sort of friends with..but we don't talk much. And a little while later they started dating so there went my window of opportunity huh? Well, they just broke up but I'm afraid that he'll find someone else before I can tell him...but I don't want to rush into anything you know? So that's been driving me crazy lately. I'm probably wind up writing a poem or something about it because it's most of what I think about this days...<br />
<br />
Well..If you actually read all of this, thank you. I know it probably seemed long and possibly pointless...but...I needed to get it off my chest. <br />
<br />
Well, that's the most that's going on in my life right now I guess...<br />
<br />
Umm...Oh yeah, for those of you who don't like Green Day you can just skip ahead to the projects and all that other good stuff....<br />
<br />
I get to go see Green Day live in about a week <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/excited.gif" width="23" height="19" alt=":excited:" title="OMG! I can't contain my excitement!" /> I'm so excited, I can't wait! I've heard so many stories of people who've gone to see them already and it's making me even more anxious <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> Someone told me which songs they sing which was cool...I knew they wouldn't, but I really wanted them to play Dominated Love Slave, I love that song<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> But they do play 2000 Light Years Away apparantly, which I like too. <br />
<br />
Anyway, here's all the other crap that I put in my journals:<br />
<br />
<b><acronym>Current Projects:</acronym></b> <br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" /> Billie Joe: King For A Day doll.<br />
<br />
<b><acronym>Projects On Hold:</acronym></b><br />

I read it in her journal and though it was pretty sad, I really agree with the message at the end (not the part about re-posting it!) You don't have to re-post it if you don't want, I just felt like doing it.<br />

<br />
Deep down inside brian loves her too<br />

Amanda...sitting at home worried about Brian because she hasnt talked to him all day,decides to give him a call<br />
<br />
(Brian has already been drinking with his friends long before she calls)<br />
<br />
...the phone rings numerous times before he finally picks up<br />
<br />
Brian:..(talking over loud music) HELLO?<br />
<br />
Amanda:Brian? where are you?<br />
<br />
Brian:WHAT DOES IT MATTER...ITS NONE OF YOU'RE BUISSNESS WHAT I DO WHEN IM NOT WITH YOU ALRIGHT<br />
<br />
Amanda:what?...what is that supposed to mean.Brian,whats going on with you i havent talked to you all day..and now you're really upset...talk to me<br />
<br />
Brian:YOU'RE ALWAYS ON MY CASE...THATS WHATS WRONG<br />
<br />
Amanda: i just wanna help you,because i care about you,and i dont want you to have to feel upset...because im here for you<br />
<br />
Bian:YEAH WHATEVER<br />
<br />
Amanda:i've been wanting to talk to you about something...seriously<br />
<br />
Brian:WHAT NOW!<br />
<br />
Amanda:dont get angry with me brian,its a good thing...its just something ive been wanting to tell you<br />

Amanda a tear falls from her face)..well fine,*sniffs* i wrote it in a letter for you incase i got to scared to tell you myself.<br />

BRIAN:YEAH WHATEVER...<br />
<br />
Amanda:alright,well ill let you cool off and ill talk to you tommorow,just call me when your feeling better<br />

Brian:YEA SURE...(girl yelling in the background:"brian its our turn to use the bedroom,dont worry i have a condom")<br />
<br />
Amanda:WHAT WAS THAT?!....brian what was that,what are you doing!<br />
<br />
Brian:NOTHING<br />
<br />
Amanda breaks down and starts crying) how could you do this to me...i lo...(she just hangs up the phone before she can finish saying it,figuring its no use telling him now)<br />
<br />
So upset Amanda decides to call one of her friends and go out just to let loose a little bit and get her mind off of all the drama going on.<br />
<br />
Her friend was coming from the same party brian was at,to come pick her up.<br />
<br />
An hour later Brian recives a phone call<br />
<br />
Brian talking over loud music)HELLO? WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW?<br />
<br />

<br />
Brian:Amanda?<br />

<br />
Brian:ILL BE RIGHT THERE IN 15 MIN<br />
<br />
Ashley:hurry shes in critical condition<br />
<br />
Brian:IM COMIN!!<br />
<br />
Brian arrives at the hospital and makes his way into the room that they had amanda in...and sees amandas family all hysterically crying and screaming "NO AMANDA NO U CANT BE GONE"<br />
<br />
Brian(panting from running,tears running down his face)<br />
<br />
Brian: amanda?!...let me in i have to see her,she needs me i know shes looking for me please just let me in<br />
<br />
Ashley(looks up at brian and shakes her head):Shes gone brian shes gone im sorry...<br />
<br />
brian(screaming "NOOOOOO" he falls to the floor and starts balling his eyes out)<br />
(echoing in the distance...he hears amanda singing..just like she used to sing to him when he was sad.)<br />
<br />
(ashley comes over to him and kneals down,and puts her arm around him,holding him as their both crying)<br />
<br />
Ashley takes a folded piece of paper out of her pocket and gives it to brian)..<br />
<br />
Ashley:she had this in her pocket<br />
<br />
Brian takes it in his hand and gently unfolds it<br />
<br />
the letter reads:<br />
<br />
