I had stuff I wanted to say, I even had them numberated- all organized like. Then I decided half didn't make any sense and the other half was more than I'd like people to know. But I started writing something and just closing the window would feel like a failure.

I hate how easily we forget the basic human need for love and acceptance, I hate that we're all so busy bitching and moaning about trivial shit that we forget to take care of one another and just listen. Everyone's always so busy screaming at the top of their lungs about the dumbest things that the people who are really beat get lost in the sound.

We were talking tonight about how much your childhood and your parents effect the adult you're going to grow up to be and I was saying that it's possible to avoid letting it be a major controling factor only to realize how unbelievably full of shit I am. But at least I realize it, so not all hope is lost.

I'm preeeetttyyyy sure my insomnia is driving me insane. Lately I feel like I've completely run out of word juice, I can't write or say anything the way I would like to. Nope, I really can't say anything.

You know that part in Homeward Bound where Chance and Sassy get home safe and sound and you think Shadow died in that muddy pit (that had no business being there to begin with) but then he comes over the hill and you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? THAT is what the FSU v.s. UM game was like. I'm still feeling the adrenaline, it was that epic. Jesus.

Some people won't deal with the truth even if its right in front of their face. Ignoring it isn't going to make it go away, ever. It's not easy to realize you may not meet someone else's expectations but pretending thats what you are and want you want is only ever going to leave you miserable. You become frustrated by the situation you're in and think if you change aspects of your life around, things will get better. But it's not whats around you, its just you. And no matter where you go or what you do, you take yourself with you. Thats a hard lesson to learn. So stop blaming outside forces and take a hard look at yourself because I think you're missing the point.
By the same token, people who are jerky and obnoxious should just be ignored, they are their own worst punishment.

I think people nowadays have become desensitized to words. We use and abuse them and we never really stop to consider the real meaning behind the words we say, especially what it signifies when we say "I want". To want doesn't mean "I would like" or "it would be convenient for me". No, to want is to Desire and to desire is to long for, to crave. Desire is an essential in that it is as great as need and yet it is more than need, because a need is something we fulfill so that we can continue and obtain what we desire. We survive to achieve our desires, these are our reasons for living. If anything, a person's desire reflects who they are more than who they are and what they have because those are subject to circumstance, desire is boundless.

Also, the topic of fairness and justice came up in a conversation I had today and it was pointed out to me that fairness is a construct of society. I had never thought about that before. How has this construct come about? How has the evolution of it affected us and what we consider justice today? What would society be like today if this construct had never developed?

It's been 42 hours since I slept and 26 and a half hours since my grandmother died. I dont want any I'm sorris or condolences or any of that stuff, thank you for the thought though. I dont want to sound rude, i just dont want to talk about it and that would be talking about it. I'm not writing abotu it so people will feel sorri for me, I'm writing so at least the people I care about will know what happened. Also for my own sake, its hard to swallow even still, she's gone, she;s dead. its so strange. On the other hand, i havent slept but i dont feel tierd at all. I feel like i could go the rest of my life without a wink of sleep. My grandmother raised me, she means a lot to me. All my childhood memories are with her and my grandfather, who has it the worst of all right now. He's devistated. My poor abuelito. eff, there i go, contradicitng myself. Ok, this is turning out to be a counterproductive endevour, for every line i write I erase three. maybe more later.

Putting the laws of time and plausiblity aside, picture a battle between the megalodon (a prehistoric shark with a six-foot jaw span) and a giant squid (reported to be the size of a school bus). Who would win?

It's been seven weeks since I've updated. Been busy with school, still busy with school. I should be getting things done but I'm not at all in the mood. Everything's going great really, but I cant shake off the restless feeling. I rarely shake that bitch off. Projects are daunting, they always make me nervous. It's a thing of commitment, its something that ties you down and there are usually deadlines involved. It's all kinds of bad. Fuck, i wish after all this time I'd have something witty and clever to say. I think i'm starting to work towards an actual future. That's a scary thought. Not to be stupid, its just kind of like I'm taking a proactive role in growing up. I wonder what my future's gonna be like a lot. Am i gonna be a mom? Will I be married? I used to just have a sort of poloroid of the typical girl's future set in place in my head: kids to raise- take them to school, kiss their boo boos, talk to them about life, give them ideals, husband- cardboard cut out with perfect hair, dog- probably named Rex or something generic like that, house- to clean and cook in. Big teal or white minivan. Not anymore. At all, i don't want that sort of life. I'm not saying I may not want something like it. I don't know what I want. Maybe I want to be a single mom, maybe i dont want to be a mom at all, maybe I want to be some crazy lady who spends her whole life being selfish. Maybe I'll just move from country to country, never settle down in any one place. Maybe, maybe, maybe. Rain makes applesauce.

Verdict's in and I say fuck it. THIS is the only time in your whole life you have to fuck up and make mistakes and just enjoy yourself. Take advantage of that now or regret it later, that's a promise. Life isn't about pleasing the world, it's about being happy. Do what you want and deal with the consequences later because its not going to be too much to handle and it'll make for a good story. The people who truly care about you will love you anyway and that's all that matters. Just grit your teeth and do it, whatever it may be. Mess everything up and pit yourself against the whole world if you have to. Just do it.
