He seemed no different from the rest Just a healthy normal boy His mama always did her best And he was daddy's pride and joy He learned to walk and talk on time But never cared much to be held and steadily he would decline Into his solitary shell As a boy he was considered somewhat odd Kept to himself most of the time He would daydream in and out of his own world but in every other way he was fine He's a Monday morning lunatic Disturbed from time to time Lost within himself In his solitary shell A temporary catatonic Madman on occasion When will he break out Of his solitary shell He struggled to get through his day He was helplessly behind He poured himself onto the page Writing for hours at a time As a man he was a danger to himself Fearful and sad most of the time He was drifting in and out of sanity But in every other way he was fine He's a Monday morning lunatic Disturbed from time to time Lost within himself In his solitary shell A momentary maniac With casual delusions When will he be let out Of his solitary shell

orange post-it notes
So I saw Spider-man 2 yesterday with Patrice, Reid, Q, and Corey. It wasn't that bad but I still wanted to kick it. The movie I mean...or maybe the characters. Well, at least it wasn't Romeo and Juliet-ish where the two people fall in love in 5 minutes. Peter and Mary Jane have been in love their entire lives so it made it better....or forgiveable.

So Patrice and I are going to make an anti-romance/love movie where the lovers die. Wow, I'm not sounding morbid at all. It's just....it's the same thing over and over again....and now I'm getting sick of it. But in what movie are they NOT going to portray some kind of romance...lovey dovey..."Oh, I can't live without you" deal? Very, very few movies.....and in those movies, there's probably alot of violence and blood and gore which I'm not too fond of.

I got a new phone last night. It's cool. It's one of those camera phones with a camera (duh, Sandy). Except they're transfering my number and all that other jazz over to my new phone so it's gonna take another day or so before I can start calling people and people can call me. Well, I re-entering my phonebook from my old phone to new and it was a pain in the ass. See, in my old phone, you enter one person's name in it and you can enter different numbers and information so in your phone book there's only one name, and not "so-and-so cell, so-and-so home". Well, in my new phone...it doesn't have that crazy feature so I sat there all night typing "so-and-so home, so-and-so cell". It was quite time consuming. But whatever. It's in color, has a camera....I can now download things....it even has games so I'm happy.

Ok, I go now.

Always, Sandy

" I am nobody/who are you?/Are you nobody too?/ Then there's two of us!/ Don't tell!/ They'd banish us, you know/ How dreary to be somebody/How public, like a bog/ To live our lives the live long day to some admiring bog.? ::bows:: The end gets fuzzy, but I'm proud.

:: Music: Numb-Linkin Park. Its stuck in my head.

Tetrasodium Prophosphate
So yeah. I've been journaling for almost a year and a month and I only have 235 entries. I'm sad. So I must get my butt..well fingers..moving...ok typing...and get those entries coming out more often. I'll be a journal machine.

Yeah, I got my retainer. Poo. I just get my braces off then BOOM new torture. Thanks dude.

Yeah, so last night was fun. Sandy Kim was freggin insane. But that's normal. Hehe. Yeah, then Jorie scard the crap out of us by driving into an abandoned parking lot. Damn girl. Lol.

Yeah, so Jorie and I pretty much did the sleepover thing. Talked. Alot. About what the hell tetrasodium prophosphate is and why the hell it's in marshmallows. Poor poor us. Digesting dangerous chemicals just to enjoy a big puff of horses hoofs and sugar. Mmm..

So yeah, mom picked me up early. For retainer. I just glared at her. ::glare:: Like that.

So 4th of July is coming soon. People should get together. Because it's my first day off of work. Because Friday and Saturday I work. Then Sunday...freedom! Ha, get it? 4th of july? Freedom? So party. Yeah.

My entries are always so long. It's kind of fun. I like writing about absolutly nothing. Because honestly, that's all you can write in these journals now without offending atleast six people. Not that it's a bad thing. It's the way to world turns, dudes.

I need pants. I just took a shower and I'm sitting here in my pj bottoms and I can't find my pants. Damn pants.

dooom di doom. if you can't tell, I have really nothing to say. In the shower I discovered that can recite the first 20 minutes of Now and Then without having the movie there. Probably more, but my shower got cold so I stopped talking to myself.

"Here I am baby, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!" Woo hoo oldies.

I want to find some deep lyrics to put in here. Like..look at me. I am deep. Alas, I am not deep it seems. I am me. And me means no entries that make you go...hmm...or go..wow..what a good writer. I write things that make you go...Wow. is she a boring person?

My response? Yes! Boring in my middle name. After Elaina that is. Patrice Elaina Boring Gentile. So it's not really my fault I ramble for hours about absolutly nothing. It's in my genes, man. Dude. But not in my jeans, because I can't find them. Ha. (Refer to paragraph above if you find that comment "dirty". I know some of you have gutter heads. Tsk tsk.)

Sometimes I would like to think my intelligence level is above what I write in here. I sound so...unintelligent sometimes. One day I will put something in here that is smart sounding.

I should do that thing. That 101 things you don't know about me. Except I'm a pretty open person. Hmm..thatd be fun though. I'll start now. I'll spread it out over a few entries.

I'll start in another entry. I'll just post this one For my many fans to read. Bye dudes.

:: Mood: bubble-y

double A batteries
I am entertained. By waht? By my own mind. Woo...I'm telling you it's a party over here. ::Stares blankly::

I'm telling you, I'm a bad person...I'll just leave it at that.

Ok, so the last entry wasn't a "pity me" entry. I was just typing because I was fed up seeing some things. No really, I insist...my life isn't all that shitty. Yes, I have my "problems" but I know more than just a handful of people who have experienced so much more. Depression is not a joke. Depression isn't just your mood. It's a disease. I had never thought of depression as anything other than a "mood" until a friend of mine who suffers/suffered from depression pointed that out to me. Yes, we all say taht we're "depressed", I know I have...but you can't feel depressed one day but feel excited the next. It's like saying you know what? I'm a bit schitzo today and wake up the next morning saying that you are now paranoid. I do believe that you can experience short periods of "depression" without actually being diagnosed. I say this because I know I've experienced this period of time. But did that I mean I was suffering from the disease we like to call depression? I believe not. Because I got over the phase. And I could not diagnose myself of this disease because I am not a doctor. But I don't need to be a doctor to know that I'm not depressed. I'm not. I'm upset, I'm angry, I feel down, but I'm not depressed. I know my friend probably won't agree with me about experiencing short periods of depression (yes, I said short...a few months are mere seconds when compared to years and years), but I know she's probably smiling as she reads this because I no longer say that "I'm depressed" because I'm not. I'm "sad", I'm "angry", I'm "mad", I'm "upset", I "feel down", I am everything but depressed. And trust me, a few months of feeling "down" does not need medical treatment. After talking to friends who have been diagnosed with depression and are on medication, what I experienced a couple years ago was a short period. An emotion....it wasn't the disease. And feeling "alone" for a couple weeks is nothing. I don't know what it's like to have depression because I haven't been diagnosed but from what I hear, it's not pretty.

That is what I have to say for now.

::hugs:: to the pear for helping me realize this.

Btw, I have a xanga if you want to check it out. My username's Chuckleheadedchick. I don't feel like putting the link here...I will later, maybe...if I feel like it. It's in my profile and since everyone on my buddy list who uses AIM knows, I figured why not let the one's with AOL know my xanga too.

Always, Sandy

:: Mood: jello-y

nail polish
I am officially scared of journals. People don't fight in person anymore. Let's post shit about people so they'll read it and respond by writing another entry...it's this endless cycle of talking shit about people.

My mind is very blank right now. I think I've just given up on caring about "things". I had a friend who tried to convince me to try and get a guy. I simply said no. I don't want a boy. I mean...I do....but I don't. I see so much shit happen in relationships and I don't want to go through the same shit. I need to expand my vocabulary...for my birthday i want a thesaurus....so I use an alternative word to "shit".

Yesterday was wierd. I didn't want to see people. At all. I saw people because they came over and I didn't have the heart to say "Go away". I was in a shitty mood from the second I woke up and I knew I wouldn't be "entertaining". And things didn't improve when I was told that the reason that "they" came over was because they stopped by someone else's house learned that she wasn't home. It's not the first time that's happened to me. When this person's not home...they come over here. I really don't care about that...it's just...don't tell me to my face that that's the reason you're over here! It's saying to my face directly "Sandy, you're a second hand friend...we really wouldn't have talked to you if other people in this neighborhood were". It makes me feel wonderful...woo.

But whatever...that's the least of my problems because I have so many. I find that people complain too much...with me on the top of the list. And one thing that I'm trying to keep myself from doing is whine and whine and complain to people who has gone through more shit than I can imagine. I apologize to people after my ranting because I know they have seen more and gone through way worse shit and it's really not fair for them to listen to me complain about my crap when in comparison, it's really nothing.

::Sigh::

I'm back to my anti-social attitude and no, I'm not reading Harry Potter...that's just my attitude. I'm just sick of seeing drama happening and it's just like come on, people, let's grow up! We're not in Jr. High anymore. Yes, we are in highschool and we have to cope with more important and advanced things. Let's not go back to our young selves and act like we don't know any better.

Alright, I'm done. I'll go call Patrice and see what she's up too. But before that...to the potty...I have to go pee (Yes, I love informing people).

Always, Sandy

you know what...if you're going to read my journal, at least pretend you knwo what you're talking about before you get all pissed off...

"Maybe you shouldnt assume things."


maybe it shouldnt be assumed what i meant.

not that you should be reading my journal!

secondly

"she was occupied"

only meant that she was occupied and had something to do...and so she didnt need to talk to spencer.

PERHAPS they arent attacks against you...

but then again

everything is isnt it.

so i told him to go home and think.

and went upstairs.

and he went to talk to my mum.

for like two hours...

then i went down

"if you have thought about it, then come up and tell me rather than just sitting here talking to her"

he told me why he was in the garage

"when you ran upstairs, i was crying and your mum told me to come into the garage to calm down"

so that was all i really needed.

but we discussed and talked and yes everythings okie...

i love Q.

only recently have i realised what a sweetheart he is...and how much he really cares about people around him...and for that, i have admired him.

he shows a certain support that no one else does.

and would sit with you in silence while you cried...just to be there.

here's proof:

This letter applies to people at Neil's
party that happened last weekend.

I am well aware of the fact that our anti-social
behavior might have caused some anger. I assume
that nobody's mad at me, but only because I'm
single and have no special someone to spend time
with. As for Neil, I believe he should have had his
priorities in order, and probably Spencer as well
(although it seems Jill wasn't too pissed
off...)
she was occupied. My personal reason for sitting down and
playing video games for 11 straight hours is that I
already had had a pretty fun conversation, I drove
Benton's truck around the block, and got bored
playing guitar. There was honestly nothing else to
do, so I completely understand where you guys
were coming from if/when you talked about being
bored. I do look up to Neil, but I believe that he
should have played the part of host a little bit
better and tended to his guests before joining us
in playing a game- especially his girlfriend, who
it seemed everyone else noticed was a little bit
steamed (and quite a bit bored) except for him.


If you have not visited the forums lately, I
posted a similar comment to this already. (i'm
sending this out, in case nobody bothers to read it
anymore.)

It is one of my strongest opinions that hosts of
parties should never indulge in a single activity
with a stagnant group of people for the entire
occasion. Doing so alienates certain people. I
have been at parties where the hosts were so
involved entertaining one or two people that they were
unaware that some new guests had arrived. I try
to avoid this sort of behavior when I have people
over, party or otherwise. Before I go about
tooting my own horn, I'll stop myself.


funny...he still doesnt see that everyone else was bored....he keeps saying "there was nothing else to do"...but why were there other people doing nothing too...talking is not against all party rules.

ahhhhhh

he needs to think understand.
