Every time you reach out to help, something more shatters and breaks. You're standing in the center of porcelain fragments and you don't know what to do. In your haste to save the world, you destroy yourself and your surroundings.

You don't know the outcome. You're scared. You're worried. You can't sleep.

You wait.

Because all you can do is wait.

I just watched The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Finally. Someone (who I get the feeling would prefer not to be named) reminded me I'd been meaning to see it last month and Netflix took forever with it (Halloween season and all).

To be completely honest with you, that movie was an epic win.

I'm just a little bit confused about how so many people seem to find me, as a person, more... shall we say "frightening...?" than that film.

Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me
I wanna be dirty
Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me
Creature of the night...

I honestly want to know how many of you would like to see the universe through my eyes... And I promise you, after you read what I have to say (if you read it with an open mind), you will look at things... a little differently.

4. During one of the pauses in the music, someone asked me to "Sing the Tomato song," (Search on YouTube: "Tomato ((Mayo))" if you aren't familiar with this song I came up with when I was a Freshman) and to my surprise, they all knew the lyrics and were singing along with me.

3. I danced with an awful lot of people. Also had a ton of fun chasing some around the room and making them very uncomfortable.

2. I'd never ground before. I got to do it with a ton of people... From both ends!

1. I noticed a circle of people around a dancing guy. I hijacked this circle and became the its only dancer for a while. People started asking me to leave, but I told them I needed a challenger. I got one. He stepped up to me and shouted, "Man, shut the fuck up!"

I said, "Why don't YOU shut the front DOOR? It's cold outside and you're letting all that cold air in."

"What the fuck?"

"How do you feel about having a polar bear in the living room?"

And he gave a hard punch to my jaw. It still aches and the inside of my lip is swollen. People kept asking me not to hit him back... Not that I had any intention to. They stopped the dance for a little while after that. Not sure if they went looking for him or something. I did my best to camouflage back into the crowd.

Apparently half the gym had heard about it before too long. A lot of people were asking if I was all right. I told them I would be.

All in all... It was a good night.

I do not wish to discuss the details here and there's a slim chance I'll tell anyone who's reading this anything...

That being said, here's a few cryptic words I must express.

I'm used to the attitude, I'm used to the false truths. But in the past they've always kept a good distance from me.

Now they spy on me with a cold eye. A dark shiver which leaves little space between the next escapement of chilling air and the icicles forming over my heart.

"And I wanna believe you
When you tell me that it'll be okay
Yeah I try to believe you
But I don't..."

And the quote of the week comes from a comment made by JasmineG2006 on YouTube.com:

"My god, the guy [Jules Ismail] who does Edward's voice has an excellent, sexy, totally awesome voice!"

Thanks, JasmineG2006!

Though our rendezvous was brief and our conversation quite lacking, I managed successfully to lay upon his plushy mass my palm and to run alongside him in all his glory.

As is the human custom when an ordinary such as myself would seek an audience with one so distinguished, I was escorted away from the assemblage and my Parental In Management Position contacted via telephone.

In other words, I got kicked out of the Pep Rally for jumping on the school mascot. I have also been reprimanded twice now for "engaging in the disruptive behavior" of dance within the confines of the cafeteria.

I am expected to attend a disciplinary meeting, along with my father, on Monday morning. Those damned fools.

AVRIL LAVIGNE:

"Why should I care what other people think of me? I am who I am. And who I wanna be."

"To understand me, you have to meet me and be around me. And then only if I'm in a good mood - don't meet me in a bad mood."

"I'm just coming out and I'm going to clearly be myself - I write what I feel, I never worry what others think."

"I don't believe war is a way to solve problems. I think it's wrong. I don't have respect for the people that made the decisions to go on with war. I don't have that much respect for Bush. He's about war, I'm not about war - a lot of people aren't about war."

Because I am.

I won't say I'm not upset. Because I am.

You know, I really thought all this drama was over. Really.

Fuck.

I could have guessed we'd part our ways one day. It's fine. We've got our differences, and now you really don't like me. I can accept that. You're not the first.

I guess it's really difficult to watch all of our memories disappear into nothingness. I'm hurt, my old friend, but I'll be fine.

We had fun. We had fights. But you have your way and I have mine. Maybe you thought this would teach me a lesson-- breaking off all forms of communication with me. Shutting yourself away from me.

And it has. But not the one you wanted. It's only proven to re-enforce what I've known for so long.

Some friendships are not meant to last. And I can accept that, too. But the ones that do are the ones that matter.

I'll miss you.

I just don't.

I'm confused about a lot of things right now. This thing called "love" for instance. I guess my problem is that when I fall in love... I fall in love.

There they are. And then there's nothing I wouldn't do for them.

Circumstances change. And they keep changing. And then I have even less of an idea of what I want to do.

To add to the entanglement, someone new (yet old) just came into my life. And I can't really get her out of my mind either.

I... used to write a lot. Like... A daily essay about what happened to me and what I thought about it. People used to read it but I stopped after they lost interest.

If I get started, I don't stop. Sooo.. Beware. Haha. Aaand... So, let's see... What's going on?

I'm currently writing a book. But I probably won't tell you anything about it unless I like you. Not until it gets published. And I want to do that before I turn seventeen. Good luck to me, right?
