Since xanga is blocked at school, I'll ramble about my dream for a bit here.

This makes alot of sense if you were one of the unfortunates to be talking to me last night while certain events transpired. Poor people, having to listen to my dumb issues.

Anyway, I had a dream that I was in the car with my mom, and we were turning left onto butterfield from 60, that road that goes to my house that has the train tracks crossing 2 roads. We were just sitting there, waiting for a train to pass, when I noticed that suddenly, without my knowledge of a crash or any turbulence, the train parts just started coming off of the tracks. I mean, they were hardcore coming off, to the point of them literally flying off and landing violently a few feet away from the car.

I wasn't afraid, but I just kept thinking "I hope the people on the train are okay..." even though it was a freight train, and wasn't carrying any people. My mom was completely relaxed, and just said "Well how about that. And it was the train conductors own damn fault, too. He deserved it"

After a few seconds of watching this train absoluely crumble, forming a barricade of ff7 train grave yard-esque rubble, I looked behind us to see that there was tracks on the road behind us too (which there normally aren't), and to the right, so we were basically trapped by the train wreckage.

"Crushes" are a curse by god, sent to all typical teenage females. Thus, I regretfully anounce that I have, once again, been smitten by the nasty love bug. But it's an actual person now! An actual flesh and blood human living in a 100 mile radius of my house, whom I talk to on a regular basis. Not an anime character, or video game foe, or old poet from the 19th century, or hollywood star.

Yes... I have a new crush. Rather, this is an old crush. A WAY old crush.

I recently went through my old personal diary entries... written WHILE I was going out with stunkel (Written in April 2005). It said...

"It's probably some sort of moral sin to look upon your boyfriends best friend with a romantic gaze...."

Then in a later entry, in July 2005...

"Jorie told me today that I should go out with him. I feel as though I was turning a blind eye to fate by shrugging the possibility off."

My life is empty while songmeanings.net is down.

Then again, my life is pretty empty anyway, considering I've spent the last 8 months dwelling on how absolutely ecstatic it makes me to see him smile.

Oh well.

I haven't updated this in a while. Wonder if anyone actually looks at it.

Theres nothing better than sitting in study hall, jammin' to Carmina Burana, and updating your online journal. This is the climax of my life, seriously, it just all goes down from here.

I'd like to cosplay Aerith.

(PS searching for aerith on google images during school is a piss poor idea. I forgot how much fanboys adore aerith... and adore seeing her naked =/)

Shes so sweet. I think it'd be fun.

In creative writing, conroy showed me the pamplet for a FFXII demo he obtained. He said the demo honestly wasn't that great... that it was alot like X-2. But the graphics look purdy =3

Stunkel seemed as though he was trying to be away from me today at Ren Faire.

I thought (being the optimist I am. Ha. Thats a joke) Maybe he wanted to say something to Reid that he didn't want me to hear, and one of the possible things he could have had to say to Reid would be news of him wanting to ask me out again.

But I just asked Reid online, and he said that he is sure that Stunkel wont ask me out again, and was avoiding me because he felt awkward around me.

Upon being utterly bummed out by hearing this, I vented to the only person online, Joe. Joe said that he agrees with Reid, because he still feels weird seeing his ex-girlfriend from 3 years ago.

Then I started thinking, and it was true. I still get butterflies seeing Adam... but bad butterflies. I fear him talking to me, and we broke up 2 years ago. And Adam did want to go out with me again. Stunkel probably feels the same way about me as I do about Adam... but multiplied by like 1000 because I only have the chance to see Adam twice a year at conventions, but Stunkel has to face me a few times a month.

And being one who has experienced it, I'd never want to force that type of feeling on anybody, especially someone I care about so much. So thats that, the chapter is over. The page has been turned. I'm just going to stop wishing for it, and stop pursuing it, because I'm just being a nuicense in my efforts. Its hard to just drop such a strong emotion as love, but I'll just have to be strong.

Life is strangely... life-like right now.

Everything is too normal. Too normal, I don't like it one bit. I wish things weren't so AVERAGE!!

I need something amazing, something out of this world, something incredible... but all thats going on right now is dull boring average activities. It needs to stop >.<

So I guess in any other case it would be hubris to claim this, but I feel right now, its truth.

I am Trigun's biggest fan!!

And I am hereby challenging anybody to dare take the crown from me. I dare 'ya!

Now that I'm calmer I suppose I can explain my previous confusing post.

So I had to take the bus home friday, which pissed me off because everyone on my bus is loud (Not your typical loud, this is like, ear piercing loud. And they always roll up paper and smack one another with it, which creates this snapping whip sound that grinds at my soul). Then I got home and my sister was online. Then I discovered that Stunkel had tried calling for a ride home, but it never got through for some reason, and I felt terrible. These were all minor.

Then I discovered that Stunkel couldn't make it to the con. This created a few tears, half of which because I was looking forward to being with him all weekend, and half of which out of slight anger because the whole reason I had no place to stay is because I was trying to find a place for us to stay together. I had a spot in Brittany's hotel room, but just for me, and when Stunkel came along I had to tell her to fill my spot up because I was going to stay with Stunkel no matter what. But I cant be mad at him, its not his fault.

Then I got to the con and worse news came about (Jorie, if you're curious, when you called you probably noticed that I was crying, and I think you presumed I was still crying about Stunkel not going, but in truth I had just found out about the following like 5 minutes before you called) As soon as I stepped into the con, Kim said "Kristen, I need to talk to you...alone" so we went into her hotel room when she told me "...So I know we promised to keep our knowledge of the affair secret from our parents... but I've walked in on them having sex, and seen them cuddling on my couch before, so I needed to bring it up to my dad. He told me that your mom and him were planning on getting married in October, and moving to Arizona, because my dad'll be retiring." Shes not a terribly reliable source, but its a believable story.
How terrible would that be? I've finally got a life... a bunch of great friends, I'm very involved in afterschool activities, I've got the next 2 years planned out for VHHS, I'm already looking at Illinois colleges, not to mention a steady boyfriend that I am not about to leave because my mom wants to live with her affair of 2 years.
I'm sure my dad wouldn't go to Arizona, so he'd be staying here, probably in the same house. I would just tell the court that I want to stay with my dad, they can't force me to leave to Arizona if they hear my reasoning, right? If they dont then I'll just file for independence, I'd do anything to stay here.

The weird thing is, if this had happened about 4 months ago, I would have gladly gone "Good! I'm finally getting out of this goddamn school district with no potential friends, I can live near Faithy!!!" and probably wouldn't have even tried to make any friends, wouldn't have gotten more involved in theatre, and wouldn't have met Stunkel. A terrible thought, makes me wonder what other wonderous things I've missed in life...

I stood proud and tall, all plans made, and those not made were of no stress to me. I stepped on alot of people to get to my place at the top. Then one of those people came and threw me a punch, then another one rose and I recieved another blow. One after another, after another until I was left gazing right at him, the one person I had left, and i asked "Et tu?". And he threw the final stabbing punch, right to my gut, that sent me tumbling to the ground in pain and tears.

(Aw boy, Caesar reference. Ambiguity intended, I'll explain it once I'm in a better mood. I'm always metaphorical and full of alliteration when life is in the process of beating me down.)
