It is not a bad idea to get in the habit of writing down one's thoughts. It saves one having to bother anyone else with them. -- Isabel Colegate

Life
Well. We have all had those days. It seems I'm having that week. Or maybe that month.

A lot of what you say is true. Things that you do in your adult life take over your identity. Your pregnant, your going to be a mom, I'm a college student. Mine's goign to pass, so I can live with it, yours isn't. I think we're all finding out that life is both more than we anticipated and less.

I haven't been working for almost two months now, and I think it's starting to wear on me. I've been so busy, but everything is so frustrating right now. I feel like I have accomplished absolutely nothing in the past few weeks. I feel, now, being out of school for the summer and without a job like I'm powerless. I cannot seem to get anyone to cooperate with me at all. The things that I thought would make me feel like I'd accomplished something are not giving me the satisfaction that I thought they would.

It doesn't help that Kim is being overworked, tied down to her family because she's back at home. Right now, it's been one full week since we've spent any time together. And when we did last week it was with other people and only for about two hours. There was a point in here somewhere when we spent nine straight nights together last year.

I spent today up in LeRoy at our drummers uncle's place recording our demo. I'm listening to it right now. Soon I'll have a web address for you all where you can order that CD, but that all depends on Ashley. I swear, I had all winter to do this crap and now, during softball season, when I'm super busy, we've got push to get this done because they couldn't think ahead enough to get this taken care of. Oh well.

P.s. Jessa, I haven't seen you pregnant. So to me, your still the girl I remember in high school. I don't think you could be anything else to me ......

Something for everyone to consider:

The high school is considering running a "freshman academy" next year. This would entail freshman wearing a certain shirt to every assebly and on designated days, or being sent home.
I just got done reading an article where a school is giving breathalyzers before allowing kids into dances and football games.

Is it just me or is this going a little too far?

Today my history prof was railing against the Patriot Act. He was saying that no one has had the courage to stand up to the President for fear of becoming a victim of it. Well, he made a god point about the things that can be done to you under the Patriot Act. It is a bit disconcerting. Silda would say that I am stupid for trusting the government. The are not opposing the Patriot Act out of fear, but out of political gain. If the damned bill wasn't supported by a crap load of Americans, the Democrats would be agianst it. Hell, most Republicans would be too. It's not about fear of reprisal, it's about fear of the voters.

Well I'm going to say things. And most of you can ignore them, because you all don't post. Now Jessa has been great, giving me tons of material on my friends page, so now I will respond to her (sorry Steph, your life just seems to crazy and similar to mine to say much).

It's really weird how all our lives intersected for that brief moment in time that we call high school. That you, the crazy flirty girl that you described, was who I know you as. The person that you represent in your journal now, it's like someone I wouldn't even recognize. I definitely know that if I were to see you now, all inpregnated and stuff, I definitely wouldn't recognize you. I don't think that the evaluation that you took represents the idea that I have of you. It may very well represent you, but not of the girl who I knew. It was so long ago wasn't it? But not long in time terms. You showed me what platonic love could be. The basic understanding, and empathy for another person. All I could do is laugh when I watched you fall for another guy that I had introduced you to. I see it all now. you talk about Marty's former girlfriends. Sarah and I were great friends. Despite all her flaws, and she had many, we were still friends. And I saw her on Red Flannel Day, and the conversation we had. The evolution of friendship that people experience is amazing. I know my thoughts are nowhere near coherent. BUt they are my thoughts nonetheless. We are, you and I, destined for great things. And for fear of someone taking it the wrong way, it's not about us. You and I even, and that time in high school. It's about all of us, that unique group of people at a time that, even in our foggiest imagination we couldn't imagine the present. Us, me you and Brianna at the lunch table, could we imagine where we are now and what our relationship with each other is. Us, me you and Andy, in my living room while you were trying to bring him out of his shell. Us, me and you sitting in your living room, no words being spoken, but just you understanding the pain. We couldn't imagine what life had in store for us, what God had in store for us. Friends change, but do friendships? I hope I have provoked thought because, despite of scientific evidence to back the claim, it's good for your kid.

So here we go again. Another teenage gunmen. You know, it bores me to read the press coverage. They interview the popular kids at school. "oh he was a freak." "He listened to heavy metal and was, like, a goth." It's so stupid. These adults all have this view that their kids are perfect little angels at school. They have no clue. High school is such hell. I think the funny thing is that I fit the description of all these guys to a T, with a few exceptions. 1. I have a stable family 2. I don't wear dark clothes. Other than that I was the atypical teen gunman.
