Summer Vacation

 I have a new favorite movie. It's called Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It really makes me feel a lot less cynical. Maybe. Well, it more so makes me appreciate the progression of relationships, for their good parts and their bad parts. So, I guess, they don't all feel like such abject failures. I suppose I focus too much on the end result of something rather than the enjoyment that happened during the process. At least, when an action has already occurred. I don't know that I could watch that movie without crying. I think it really is a beautiful movie. It kind of makes me appreciate what I have, realtionship-wise, albeit only a little.

Speaking of such, I saw Richard, now that school was out. It was really nice, actually. I haven't seen him in so long. He really changed a lot. Some of it really worried me, but I kept telling myself that I care too much, and that I worried too much. I think that I'm so used to not caring at all that there was a lot of contrast. And, really, as of late, yeah, I hardly care about anything. I am quite possibly the least motivated I have ever been in my entire life. I have all I can do to get up in the morning, brush my teeth, and bathe. I've slept for about twelve hours each day, disturbingly enough. I guess I really was sleep deprived from going to school. Ugh. I'm so glad I don't have to set an alarm and wake up to write a paper. But I kind of miss having something to do. It felt like I was being constructive I guess. And lately, well, it's just been a nagging urge to do something that really hasn't been fulfilled. I won't have to worry about that this fall, though! People have told me that I'm going to crash and burn with my heavy course load. I'll be able to handle it, because I always change to fit the need. In the meantime I need to work on getting myself healthy again.

Aside from that, there really isn't much else to my summer vacation. I have been bored for the first time in ages. And that has led to me playing too many video games, and doing other mind-numbing things. That's not that bad, I guess. But my emotions have been running really strong lately. Particularly when I'm alone, and not doing anything. I was crying a ridiculous amount for a few days. And things have been dramatic too. I like to think that think that some of it really isn't my fault. But other times it clearly is. I kind of just ignore one of the situations really. Ah well. It's kind of hard to keep myself feeling good, but talking to certain people helps. I really hope those people know who they are.

dude, I wish your text was larger and your text boxes wider.
I liked reading your first paragraph, but gave up because it's so small.

Hey, you dont know me, but that's ok.  Way to spread the love, right?

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is such a good movie.  I remember having watched that with my exgirlfriend (oh, those were the days haha).
And I completely get emotions being intense, especially when you're alone.  I tend to feel very... lonely when I'm alone ("lonely when I'm alone" -- imagine that!)  always good to know I'm not a freak for it haha.

well, I hope you have a good day.  you seem like a cool kid.

I completely understand being isolated. I felt like that a lot when I was in high school, and still feel that way sometimes now. I work through it, tho. Sometimes it's the only thing you can do, until you find other people who understand your isolation...and are often isolated themselves. I'm isolated, however, am isolated more or less by choice. What's your excuse?

And as for being better than one's parents, one is interested to know your response to that question.

peace and love, J.

much better!

You're going to be a junior right? yeah. From the way you write, I'm just going to go ahead and guess you're super driven.

I totally killed myself junior year. I mean, it was worth it. I got into the colleges I wanted to.

But now that it's the summer after senior year... it's finally nice to be bored again. I've forgotten what that feeling was like. haha.

And about the crying. I always pass it on being a teenager with raging hormones. Seriously.

I agree with you... It was never something I was comfortable with, letting him write that letter to her under my name... I have a problem telling people "no", I'll really do about anything to make someone else happy... Guess I just admitted I'm a doormat, haha... Nothing bad ever became of it, luckily... But it was my first concern...

Just added you on facebook, my real name is Aaron...

Perhaps "excuse" was the wrong word, but you answered one of the questions nonetheless. You said that when you find out you have different morals than someone you push them away. Why? Is being isolated the point? If not, why push people away at all? Why go looking for people who have different morals from you if you're only going push them away? I hope these questions don't sound combatish, b/c they aren't meant to be. I'm just curious.

Peace and love, J.

How do you know when you haven't pushed someone away? I mean, if that's a knee-jerk reaction for you, how will you know when you've actually formed an attachment to someone? And you can't have it both ways: either you push people away and stay protected or let them in and risk getting hurt. Which do you prefer? And if you seek out people who have similar morals, why do you end up pushing them away?

Peace and love, J.

about my Burberry glasses: I love them. And they're pretty. haha
and totally worth getting. (Part of it was covered as my birthday present)

Junior year... well I go to one of those super competative schools... so the headmaster years ago reduced the number of AP/honors classes available as well as limiting the number that students could take to three, unless you got permission from the headmaster.

I took Physics honors, English (ended up taking the AP anyways... lol got a 5), US history (took the AP anyways, got a 4), Latin honors, Pre-Calc honors

also orchestra, debate, gourmet cooking, greek I

I also did year-round water polo, got into the All-state orchestra, got a 1 rating at state solo and ensemble, qualified for the state swimming, did the school paper, chess team, did a couple math competitions

I think I overkilled with that answer... but um... when I mentioned earlier that I KILLED myself junior year... I actually really overworked myself into a nervous breakdown (can I mention that I came out to my mom that year and had to deal with her rejecting me being gay?)

lol... it's all documented on my xanga.

but seriously... it all worked out in the end.

hey, if you're ever feeling sad or something... haha... I'm starting to not like my boredom now... I'm like ALWAYS online: fleetocanada on aim.
