LOST IN THE CROWD

Do you ever feel like the world is out to get you, even though you know that logically, that's not true??


Do you ever feel like the smallest thing can change, but then causes a domino effect that changed your whole life?


Do you ever feel like you're slowly losing grip on your own life, and instead being put behind a window to just watch it happen?


Yet again, welcome to my life!


Don't get me wrong, I love my brother with everything inside of me. He is my best friend and he is a big part of why I am the way I am, be it good or bad. But he's been home for less than 48 hours, and he's already turned my world upside down.
He took my car and won't let me drive it. I just filled up the tank with MY money, of which I have hardly any, and he's driving it all around town. &the best part? My mom claims that she won't let him pay to refill the tank. 
Well ya know what, mom? SCREW YOU. He is filling up my tank, even if it means me taking his card to pay for gas. There is no way in hell that I'm paying for gas that I don't even use. Bottom Line.


I'm so sick of being put last. To everyone. Is it such a crime for a girl to be put first, just once.
At work, I'm the girl that is disliked because of a rumor. At school, I was the girl that was... well, who knows. I hated school. At home, I'm just the stupid little sister that is always in the way.


I'm not ALWAYS the bad person, believe it or not. Yes, I do have my fair share of faults and mishaps, but I'm human. Just like you. Just like him. Just like her. Get over it.


Do I have a big sign on my back that says 'Kick Me"?!
My brother comes home for a week, and it's like I'm 8 again. I say one thing, my brother says another. My mom believes him. ALWAYS.


He takes my car. He takes EVERYTHING of mine out of it. He totally cleans it. He takes all of my things out of it. He takes the keys off the lanyard. Everything. He even had the balls to take off my bumper stickers. All because he's driving it around town for like 3 days. AND HE USES ALL OF MY F*CKING GAS!


Gah, people just rub me the wrong way and get on my last nerve! I can't even stand it anymore. He hasn't even been home for two days, and he's got MY car, he's got MY keys, and he's got my mom wrapped around his little finger. Ya know what, at this point, for all I care, go sleep with Amanda. Awesome. I hope you guys get crabs. Yeah, I'm bitter.




Sue me. I get mad over the little things. I get worked up over nonsense. I forgive too easily. It all just asks for me to get hurt, but baby that's just me. If you can't handle it, the door's wide open. Don't let it hit you on the way out.




Screw You. Bite me. I don't care. You all just piss me off.

SENIOR PRANK : VISTA RIDGE STYLE

So, even though I no longer attend Vista Ridge High School, these pictures were posted online for me to see. I don't know exactly when they did this, how long it took, or how they pulled it off, but I have to say, it looks pretty good. 
I remember when I did go there, and some of the ideas were things like putting soap on all of the floors so people would slip, and they went from that, to, well... The pictures above. Quiet an upgrade if you ask me.


And before people go and start hating on their hard work, let me just tell you this first. That is one hella spirited school. They have some pretty BA class wars, and when it comes down to it, the majority of kids that go there will stand up for their school. It may not be some people's first choice in a high school, but it's not a bad one.
And remember, this year is their first SENIOR class ever, so for a first senior prank, I'd say that it's pretty good. I don't necessarily miss the school and the teacher, but there aren't enough words to explain how much I miss the kids, and I wish I could have been there to help with this especially.

And even if Mr. Bonavita did get mad, who cares?! That's the point of a senior PRANK. It shouldn't be like it was our freshman year at SC, where the whole administration knows what's happening. It should be a surprise, and from what I can tell from FB, that is exactly what you guys managed to make happen.


I just wanted to say good job to all of the Vista Seniors, and no matter what anybody in any other class says, the prank is awesome, and it's definitely one that will be hard to live up to. Congrats, and I will see you all at graduation!

DARE TO DREAM

Do you have the power to dream? Do your dreams have the power to change the world?


Now, I'm not just talking about the life ambition kind of dreams. No, I'm talking about the dreams you have when you sleep. The kind that you never can seem to remember when you wake up...


Do you ever have a dream so extremely vivid, it's sort of creepy? Like, when it has people in it, that you've never talked to before, used to be friends with, or don't really know anything about, yet their face is so clear in your dream, there is no doubt in your mind that it was them?
But then when you wake up, you realize that it was indeed just a dream, but when it comes to decoding what it means, you have absolutely no idea?
Ha, yeah, welcome to my world. I don't get vivid dreams that much, but when I do, that's usually just about the only thing I can think about...
It's weird. I've never talked to him. I'm good friends with her. I haven't talked to her since sophomore year. &What exactly were we trying to find out from him, that we couldn't just ask him?


These are the questions that my amazing dreams leave me thinking about.
Yeah, until I figure it out though, it will continue to haunt me.
Especially because I think he's cute, even though we've never really talked. But because of that dream, it will start a whole slew of new day dreams. 
In case you haven't noticed, this is a really bad time for me to be coming up with new day dreams.
I have finals, AP Tests, graduation, friends, goodbyes, my brother coming home, tattoos to think about, and so much more.
And on top of it, a CRAZY DREAM!
Grrr, curse you crazy brain!
