Just because you accept help from someone, doesn't mean you have failed. It just means you're not in it alone.

Just Friends

Chris: [thinking] This is it. You're finally going to have sex with Jamie Palamino. Oh God, look at that face. Look at that body. Why are you smiling like a fricken idiot? Go on. Make a move. MAKE A MOVE!
[takes a deep breath]
Jamie Palamino: What's on your mind?
Chris: [awkwardly] Bush. President Bush. The first family, really.
[Jamie sighs and rolls over]
Chris: [thinking] Dude! You're killing me! This is the girl of your dreams! Ravish her! What if she doesn't want to be ravished? What if she wants to stay friends? Friends don't ravish each other. Friends watch New Years Rockin' Eve. I wonder who's hosting this year.
Jamie Palamino: Chris, can you put your feet on mine? They're freezing.
Chris: Yeah.
[thinking while cuddling up behind Jamie]
Chris: Hell yeah. Her feet aren't even cold. This is it. Don't even think about how weird tomorrow's going to be.
Jamie Palamino: Chris?
Chris: [thinking as he slowly rolls over off of her] Oh God. Oh, God. What are you doing? Where are you going?
Jamie Palamino: Is everything alright?
Chris: Oh, everything's fine. Yeah. You okay? Uh, you need another blanket or anything?
Jamie Palamino: No, I'm fine.
Chris: Ah.
[thinking]
Chris: You're not going to make a move are you?
Chris: Good night, Jamie.
Jamie Palamino: Good night, Chris.
Chris: [thinking] You don't deserve a penis!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chris: Look Jamie. I said a lot of crappy things the other night and I'm sorry about that. The truth is, I'm scared to be your friend, because I'm always going to want more. But then I got to thinking that I would rather have you in my life as a friend than not at all.
Chris: [Jamie opens her door] You know that's a lie too.
Jamie Palamino: [Comes outside and closes her door] Why are you back here?
Chris: Because I want to take you on a date. And I don't care if it's in the day, or at night, or whenever, as long as it's a real date. And I wanna tell you how beautiful I think you are. Inside and out. And I wanna have babies with you, and I wanna marry you, and I love you Jamie. I always have.
Chris: [Chris leans in and kisses her. Jamie accepts this for a second and pulls back] Sorry. Twenty years all at once, just blah!
[Jamie laughs. Chris leans in and kisses her again]

When Harry Met Sally

Harry: I've been doing a lot of thinking, and the thing is, I love you.
Sally: What?
Harry: I love you.
Sally: How do you expect me to respond to this?
Harry: How about, you love me too?
Sally: How about, I'm leaving?
Harry: Doesn't what I said mean anything to you?
Sally: I'm sorry, Harry. I know it's New Year's Eve. I know you're feeling lonely, but you just can't show up here, tell me you love me, and expect that to make everything all right. It doesn't work this way.
Harry: Well, how does it work?
Sally: I don't know, but not this way.
Harry: How about this way? I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.
Sally: You see? That is just like you, Harry. You say things like that, and you make it impossible for me to hate you, and I hate you, Harry. I really hate you. I hate you.
[They kiss]

Change + Priorities + Summer Bucket List

I really love lifes and I'm not sure whether this is all a dream or not, but I think I'll just go with it. I mean that's all I can really do. I need to make the most of this life and be brave. Love Life. Be Brave. I'm disappointed in how I ended the year and I mean in the way that I was too afraid to speak up / stand up for myself in class. Instead I let others kind of take the wheel and was too afraid to ask for help when I should've just included my input because I am smarter than I think I am and I shouldn't be afraid of making a fool out of myself. Even if I end up looking stupid, all I can do it move on and do better. My Uncle David is such a wise man... he makes me feel better about myself and helps me understand how I can break out of my shell. I wouldn't be anywhere without him. I've definitely improved since my freshman year, but I really want to change for my senior year and take chances.

I'm going to be more involved in the things that I care about and actually take the lead in certain things. I want to be the kid in class that can confidently raise her hand in class with an answer without fearing it to be wrong. I want to be able to ask a question in class without worrying whether or not it's a stupid question. I want to be able to help other kids in my class or be the kid that others go to for help. I want to be able to help those people in confidence. I want to be the way I was before when I got papers and assignments weeks early. I need to get back on track... and I will. I know I will because I care too much. I have so many goals that I've accomplished and I have so many I've yet to accomplish, but I will get there.

Priorities for Next Year:
  • School
  • AP Exams
  • SAT / ACT
  • Senior Presentation
  • Golf
  • FBLA
  • Theatre
  • Getting a job?
  • Friends
  • Family
  • <3
That list is in absolutely no particular order.

Summer Bucket List: In no particular Order
  • Florida
  • Ice Skating
  • Roller Blading
  • Swimming
  • Bon Fires
  • Camping
  • Zoo
  • Aquarium
  • Silverwood
  • Harry Potter
  • Brandon's Birthday
  • Studying...?

Appreciation.

I have a lot in life to appreciate and I've been thinking about this a lot lately, but I'm a very lucky person. I'm happy and everything in my life is better than I could've imagined. The people and all they have to offer are probably what makes life truly worth living.

I've been struggling with self-confidence and the ability to stand up for myself or get the strength to ask for help with anything, but there are certain people in my life that I truly trust and they are my everything even if they can't always tell.

I think I'm starting to gain back my self-esteem and it's a great feeling. I think I have my friends and family to thank for that, but I also have to give myself some credit whether that seems conceited or not.

There are a lot of people that I've come across in my life that are there regularly and there are those that come and go, but when they come back it's as if they've never gone and I know that they're truly my friend for that. Also, someone recently said that they have to make an effort to see their best friend everyday in a complaining kind of tone, but I thought that it was nice because by making the effort really shows how good of friends they are. Making the effort. And even when someone is too busy and it seems like they make very little effort, it doesn't mean they aren't your friend. It just means life is busy and hectic and that's life. It happens and we just have to go with it, but we can't let the hard times get us down. Make the most of life. That seems like the most important lesson to be learned right now.

I just want to let all my friends out there know that I appreciate and truly love every one of you no matter how often I see you... you have made a major impact on my life and I'd be nothing without you.

Insecurities. Go Away.

So, I think I like this guy a lot, but I don't know what to do. It'll be 3 weeks tomorrow and at first I was in this just ultimate super happy mode where I thought everything was going to be perfect... then I started getting this sinking feeling. I realize I have no idea how to be in a relationship and I'm afraid of losing what feels like the best thing to happen to me when it comes to guys. I feel like he's the perfect guy and I feel like this is too good to be true like I don't deserve someone as amazing as him. I feel like I'm dreaming and I'll wake up one morning and he won't feel the same way anymore. I mean, I really like this boy, but I'm constantly paranoid that I'm going to do something wrong or be too clingy or obsessive or I'll be worrying about that stuff too much so I'll distance myself so that I don't seem too clingy and stuff, but then I'll end up going too far and we're going to just drift. I don't know. That was a mess of confusion, but that's just how I feel.

This seriously feels like a fairy tale and I didn't think it was going to happen, but now that it's happening it feels like there's a catch. I keep thinking of different excuses of why he might have asked me out in the first place instead of him possibly actually liking me. I could make a list of things that I'm afraid of...
  • ...being the girl that he's dating just to say he has a girlfriend.
  • ...being the girl he's using to get over some other girl.
  • ...being the girl he's using to make some other girl jealous.
  • ...being the other girl.
  • ...the other girl.
  • ...falling, but even more of having no one to catch me.
  • ...losing sight of the things that matter.
  • ...losing balance...
There are so many insecurities that I could list. And there isn't any girl in particular, it's just a for instance. I'm just scared is all, but is it normal? I mean he's the first guy that I have approved by my parents and all that jazz. The first guy that seems normal and the start of an actual relationship, but I'm scared to keep going if it's not real or something. I just don't know.

I'm in serious need of relationship advice or something. I just don't know what I'm doing. I mean I've been in "relationships" or whatever you want to call them, but this one actually seems like it could be pretty solid if I could get pass my insecurities that usually ruin things after about a month... It's just like, ugh.

It's not that I get jealous or anything and confront him about it. It's more like get paranoid and scared and act all cool and break up with the person and say that it's for their own good because they wouldn't want to date me or it's not fair to them or whatever, but really I think I'm a selfish bitch sometimes... I hate feeling this way, but I do which makes it even worse. I don't mean to hurt anyone. Never.

I think that if he were to break up with me it would be devastating from my point of view, but at the same time I think it would be worse for him if I broke up with him... He's the perfect guy in my mind and I feel like he's not the kind of guy that would go through that list I made earlier or hurt anyone intentionally. That's just the way he is, a kind honest man, and I'm not just saying this because of how I feel about him. Anyone would say the same.

And let me be clear, this is not a post about me breaking up with him and I haven't had the idea of breaking up with him, but for whatever reason I feel like he'd be the one to break up with me. For the first time I feel kind of powerless over how long this might last. It's just completely unpredictable to me. That scares me. Not knowing is such a terrifying feeling. I like him, but I'm scared.

Is anyone out there... and if so, tell me please, is this normal?

So I love life... I was thinking about how lucky I am. I feel spoiled because I'm so happy with everything I have in my life. I just feel like I need to brag a little... and everyone deserves a chance to brag. Blogging is a pretty good way of doing it especially since I'm not too sure who reads this anyway...
  • Good grades and driver's license...
  • Senior Golf Captain Next Year / Varsity
  • April Business Student of the Month
  • FBLA Nationals in Orlando, FL (June 26th to July 2nd)

There's a lot of other things to be happy about, but right now those are the big things I can think about... Now the below list is just something that I needed to put as more of a note to self...

  • AP Psychology
  • AP Economics or Calculus AB
  • UW College Composition & Literature
  • UW French 5-6
  • Electronics 1-2

The Future & Fear.

I am afraid. I fear many things. I don't know what to do with my life. I think I do, but what if I'm wrong. What if... I don't know. I'm scared. I'm scared that I've been living with a false perception of how the world works. Due to this false perception, how will I be able to survive in the "real world" after high school? People keep talking about the "real world" and how awful and scary it can be. People talk about how much they just can't wait to get out of high school and go to college or just get out in general. I feel the same way, but deep down I don't want to graduate. Honestly, I don't know how I'll be able to take it.

The future scares me because I don't know what I have in store and can't control everything, but here is the part that I can try to control for next year:

  • AP Psychology
  • UW College Composition & Literature
  • UW French 5-6
  • UW Fluency in Information Technology & Game Programming
  • Electronics 1-2
  • Business Law & Writing About Media
    • **Independently Study AP Computer Science A ?

  • FBLA Member - Secretary
  • Interact Club Member
  • Theatre Technician
  • Varsity Golf Captain

  • SAT / ACT
  • AP Exams
  • E-Folio
  • Junior Project
  • Senior Presentation
  • College Admissions, Essays, etc.
  • Scholarships, Contests, etc.

  • Obtain a Summer Job
  • Housework / Chores

SCRE4M Trivia...

At a table read on June 25, 2010, the actors were told to stop reading at page 75 to prevent those already cast in the film from knowing the climax.

With four installments, this landmarks the Scream franchise as being one of the only horror franchises to have its main characters return for all its sequels.

Due for release almost 15 years after the original Scream (1996/I).

Wes Craven stated he was not going to return as director unless the script was as good as the first Scream (1996/I).

Wes Craven has a cameo in the movie.

Neve Campbell and Emma Roberts, two of the lead actresses in the film, both admitted to being terrified of horror films. Emma Roberts stated she was hid under the covers while watching the first 3 'Scream' films. Also, Neve Campbell stated a while back that she can't watch the films, because she doesn't like being scared

Kevin Williamson, the writer of this film, has expressed a subtle annoyance towards the release of the film. During production producers Bob and Harvey Weinstein brought in Ehren Krueger (the writer of 'Scream 3') to polish up the script. Wes Craven later stated that the main ideas, story and concept of the movie were written by Williamson, with minor changes made by Krueger.

Words of Wisdom

"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." — Maya Angelou

The Inner Workings of My Dreams

First priority... get my mind,
and grades, back on track.

I've been feeling a little lost and I know it. I can tell by the dreams I've been having lately. I'm honestly in love to horror movies and zombies and stuff, so you'd think that were the cause of my nightmares. The thing is that I don't think of them as nightmares because I'm not actually scared or in any kind of terror. Sometimes I'm excited and pumped with adrenaline, or at least that's what it feels like. Most of the time, even with the excitement I'm sad or rather depressed. In dreams you don't normally know you're dreaming, at least not at first and that's the case with these zombie dreams. I don't realize I'm dreaming until about halfway through it and when I do, it's just like I'm watching a movie and it makes me sadder for some reason. And it's not like I have these dreams constantly. It happens when I'm beginning to get worn out from school and such, but when I do have those dreams it's the same thing. Sometimes it's a different house, but it's always the same scenario.

I'm in a house surrounded by zombies and the house is being attacked. I've got myself locked in the master bedroom and I know it's the master bedroom because of the bathroom that's attached. Most master bedrooms have bathrooms and sometimes in my dreams I find that I've locked myself in the bathroom. I don't think it's anyone in particular, but I know that I'm in the room with a few other normal people. However, those people are either very young or incredible old as though I've been left there for be in charge of taking care/watching over them. I always feel like that's what I was supposed to do because some how I know that the other adults have left the room to venture around the house for whatever reason. Whether it be to the fight the zombies or to find supplies like food. All I know is that I've basically been left alone to fend for myself with a huge responsibility, or burden if your feeling pessimistic.

I wasn't sure what it meant, so I looked up the meaning of zombie dreams and this is what I found via dreammoods.com:
Zombie
To see or dream that you are a zombie, suggests that you are physically and/or emotionally detached from people and situations that are currently surrounding you. You are feeling out of touch. Alternatively, a zombie means that you are feeling dead inside. You are just going through the motions of daily living.

To dream that you are attacked by zombies, indicate that you are feeling overwhelmed by forces beyond your control. You are under tremendous stress in your waking life. Alternatively, the dream represents your fears of being helpless and overpowered.

I know it's probably ridiculous to believe in these kind of things, but I do. I like to think everything happens for a reason; everyone has a place and purpose in the world; everyone plays an important part in each others lives. Sometimes I think I have too much faith in people or something, but I also think some people just need someone to believe in them.

New Leaf ?

You know the expression , 'turning over a new leaf,' right? I feel like I'm a tree in autumn because there have been multiple times when I thought I turned over a new leaf. How many leaves do you get before you're out?

Just some thoughts to ponder I guess.

It seems that every year I go through this weird kind of bump in the road where I feel less motivated and driven. I'm probably just tired, but I hate this feeling. That's what I get for staying up all night. Haha, I had a good reason though! I was working on my web site for FBLA.

I can't remember when I last posted a serious blog post and I don't really want to look back. I think the only thing really new was that I started to do FBLA. Future Business Leaders of America. During the Regional competition in February I placed 2nd in Graphic Design and 3rd in Computer Applications. Since I was top five for those events I advance onto State next month. Additionally, I've signed up for a web design event where I had to make an employment type of web site for teenagers. It turned out pretty good, but I wish I'd gotten started earlier because I would've gotten sleep last night and there is a lot of things I want to tweak on my site. I can't now though because I had to submit it this morning. Oh well... (:

I've been busy and stressed and other things. Last week I had a scary realization. My math teacher said we'd be registering for classes this week and before that point I thought I was ready. I wanted to graduate and move to New York or Boston and be completely independent. I don't know what happened. As soon as he mentioned class registrations I had a mini-heart attack at the realization that I'm going to be a senior next year. I'm graduating... and in that instant I realized I wasn't ready. Or at least I did feel as ready as I thought I was. And it's not that I don't want to. I'm scared to graduate. Graduating and being independent means leaving my comfort zone. This fear, I also realized, is associated with the reason why I didn't do running start. People kept on and still do ask why I didn't do running start and don't plan to. I always just told them that I didn't know and I just didn't want to. Honestly, I didn't really know. I just knew that I didn't want to do it. I think it was because of the whole comfort zone thing. Subconsciously, I'm trying to hold onto whatever childhood type thing I have left. I wasn't ready to nor did I want to go to college yet. I'm scared for the future and what's to come. I'm terrified, but at the same time I'm excited. Is that possible? I don't know. Maybe I'm just some kind of freak for wanting to stay in High School a little while longer. That's just me.

"All of my life, I've been so comfortable. But I always knew, that there'd come a day. When I'd have to get out, get out..."
- Where Do I Go by Marie Digby

Ok, I'm not sure what else I want to say. I just want some encouraging words to look back on, so I'm probably going to post some random quotes that make me feel good. If you have any please feel free to comment. (:

Frank Allen: [giving speech] The relationship between time and you is always one of master and slave. List making - it is your anchor, your harbor in the storm of life. Start each morning with your wish for the day, and then move right on in into your daily goal list. Remember to keep them in behavorial terms and be specific. Why? Because a specific list is a happy list. And don't forget it's chaos out there. We conquer that by taking control, setting priorities. Life cannot be based on whim. Those who fail to control whim are destined to be controlled by it.

Frank: Ever heard of chaos theory? It's a science, tries to determine underlying patterns in chaotic systems like weather, ocean currents, blood flow sort of things. But it turns out that are few things more chaotic than the beat of a human heart. Its beating up, slowing down. Pretty face, flirty stares. It's always changing on what's happening to ourselves out there. It's an erratic son of a bitch. But underneath all of that bump-da-bump mess, there is in fact a pattern, the truth, and it's love. Most important thing about love is that we choose to give it, and we choose to receive it. Making it the least random act in the entire universe. It transcends blood, it transcends betrayal and all the dirt and makes us human.

Those two quotes are from a movie called Chaos Theory. It came out in 2008 and Frank Allen is played by Ryan Reynolds! Anyway, the first quote is something he says at the beginning of the movie. Then as the movie progresses and he goes through all this crap, he rethinks life and how it works, etc. It's a great movie. I highly recommend watching it. (:

Found this saved as a draft...

In high school you can think you're in love; but I believe you have to know yourself completely before you can truly fall in love and be loved back by someone else.

High School: the mouse race to prepare you for the rat race

There's a big world out there. Bigger than prom, bigger than high school, and it won't matter if you were the prom queen or the quarterback of the football team or the biggest nerd. Find out who you are and try not to be afraid of it.

I got along better with the guys than with the girls. Only two girls came up to talk to me. Later I found out they were telling their boyfriends, 'If you talk to her, I'll kill you.' It's always rough with that high school thing.

It is hard to convince a high-school student that he will encounter a lot of problems more difficult than those of algebra and geometry.

First I was dying to finish high school and start college. Then I was dying to finish college and start working. Then I was dying to marry and have children. And then I was dying for my children to grow old enough for school, so I could return to work.

Moving on is simple. It's what we leave behind that's hard.

The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.

All you need is for one person to think you're cool, and you're in. - Never Been Kissed, movie

Savor the moments that are warm, special and giggly.

Best friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget.

Someday this will all make sense!

Its not the days in your life you'll remember, it's the memories.

Over the course of an average lifetime you meet a lot of people. Some of them stick with you through thick and thin, some weave their way through your life and disappear forever. But every once and awhile someone comes along who earns a permanent spot in your heart.

Beginnings are scary, endings are usually sad; it's what you do in between that counts the most.

I always knew that I would look back on the times i cried and laugh, but I never knew that I'd look back on the times I laughed and cry.

One day we'll wave hello, and wish we never had to say good-bye.

We live for the nights we'll never forget with the friends we'll always remember.

Happy times may come and go, but the memories will last forever.


I'll Remember the laughter as we go our seperate ways, but there's so much we're learning and we can not be afraid. There's a world outside our door and nothing in our way. But if it's not what we're both looking for we'll meet again someday...
