Every breath is sweeter than the last...
I'm so tired, but today was pretty good, for the parts of it that I was awake during. I didn't get much sleep until mid afternoon, when I ended up passing out and waking up like every two hours. I finally stayed up at around midnight. Fun stuff.
It's really hot in here and I'm thirsty. I also want to call my sister to see if by chance I could go over there tomorrow if she isn't busy. I feel like hanging out with her would be good for me right now. She's one of the only people I feel like I can talk to about things lately, and it would be a nice escape from this prison. I also have a MASSIVE urge to go swimming, so maybe we can. Hahaha.
I need to get some posterboard today so I can work on the sign for Tuesday. Man, JUST TWO DAYS!! I'm so fucking excited. We're getting there a few hours before the gates even open. I don't mind, I just gotta make sure I get rest the night before and I get up early enough to get ready and whatnot. MAN, I'm excited. I need to get directions printed out just in case though, even though I pretty much know where we're going. Just need to remember which exit to take. Yayyyy!
Despite lame issues recently, I've been rather happy. It's a good feeling and I hope it decides to stick around. Oh well. For now, I'm gonna go get something to drink and then get some sleep. :)

Yeah. I'm original. xD
I am such a total sap. That's really all I have to say this morning. I just wrote this poem. Well, I don't even know if you could call it a poem. It's kind of just poetic thoughts. No scheme, no rhyming. Just my thoughts and feelings flowered with pretty words and nice imagery. It works. I suppose I like it. I highly doubt anyone will ever get to see it though. It's just one of those things that's really personal.
Maybe. We'll see how things go. I tried writing some edgier lyrics this morning, but after getting one verse down, I put it aside. If there's one thing I'm realizing lately, it's that my writing talent has sort of died. I can still write stories and anything else, but I used to be good with poetry. Maybe I just haven't been properly inspired lately. I'm finding it difficult to write anything edgy, despite the emotional issues I've been dealing with. It's odd. That's one thing that SHOULD be inspiring me. Perhaps I've just become too optimistic of a person to really draw heavily on less happy thoughts. Who knows? I'll give it another try later.
I had a rather interesting dream / nightmare this morning. There was one part where I was with like, a team of scientists and we were researching and taking notes on experiments we were performing with anti-gravity or something like that. Everything was upside down, and there was a certain procedure you had to take to get it that way. So yeah, I was taking notes for the team. That part was interesting.
Then I was dreaming inside of my dream. I can't really remember much of this dream in a dream except that there was a snowy, icy field, but it wasn't cold. I was there with the Phantom of the Opera [go figure]. But no, there was no dramatic music numbers or any lovey dovey stuff. He was just there, and I was following him. I don't think we even spoke, but yet he was trying to lead me somewhere. Then I remember grinding my teeth in my sleep [in the dream, not sure if I was in real life] and wondering why it felt weird. I also remember "Hearts on Fire" by HammerFall was playing. After a minute, I shot up out of sleep on the couch to the realization that there was something broken in my mouth. So I run to the bathroom and pull out whatever it is and it turns out that I had broken pieces of glass in my mouth. I wasn't bleeding, nor was I in any pain. In fact, all I was worried about was the glass messing up my teeth or breaking them. Odd. So I'm pulling this glass out and throwing it in the trash can in the bathroom, piece by piece. It was like, pieces of a broken brown glass bottle. I felt a piece go to the back of my throat and I began choking on it. I tried forcing it back up, but I could have tried harder. I honestly don't even remember feeling like I put much effort into it, where as in real life, I'd have freaked out trying to force it up and I'd shove my hand to the back of my throat and pull it out. Then after realizing that I was going to choke on glass and nobody would be around to know, I woke up. o.o It was a very strange dream. And yes, when I woke up, "Hearts on Fire" was playing in my headphones. xD
I think the choking on glass is a bit significant in an odd way. This may just be the crazy way my brain works, but it's almost as if my dream is saying that if I swallow my own words and choke back my feelings that it's only going to hurt or kill me in the end. I'm no dream interpretor, but currently, that's just what I'm going to make of it.

An unexpected turn of events...
Tonight was nice. After a sort of depressing day, Matt and I went out and hung out at the park then hung out at McDonald's. The simplest things can be so totally fun. :3
Things seem better between us. That cheers me up massively. I think everything will be fine. As long as we're both happy and still hang out with each other. He's the bestest friend ever!~ ^^
*Yawn* I'm tired, and yet I have to stay up for a bit. Blah. Lameage. It's alright though, I'll deal. Tonight is a good night.

I'll never let you break me. Not again.
I feel so hurt. It's not the kind of hurt where I want to cry, but the kind where I just feel like I'm all on my own. I suppose it'll only make me stronger. It only makes me want to strive for more and become all that they never thought I could. I have so many goals, and I'm going to meet them all. No, I'm not just going to attempt to reach them all. I will. That's what life is for. You set goals for yourself and attempt to reach them. When you do, you are truly satisfied. As long as you remain happy in the process. Happiness is the most important thing in life, and I'm not going to let anything keep me from being a happy, self-sufficient person.
I don't understand hatred. I suppose I never have and probably never will. I'm one of those people who can pretty much get along with anybody, so when people senselessly hate others, I don't understand why. Sure, sometimes I act like a bitch, but usually that's just all it is. Acting. Usually jokingly. I'm a generally optimistic person who thinks people are good for the most part, or at least have the potential to be so.
I feel broken, but strong. Torn down, but motivated. Hurt, but resistant. Nearly hated, but independent. I feel like my heart is breaking yet healing itself all at the same time. I want to get out of here. I want to go to school, get a job, go out with friends, do things for myself. If it weren't for school or my dad, I'd probably just up and leave. If I'm going to focus on school, I can't worry about where I'll be staying that night. If my dad weren't here, I'd probably go crazy. My sister too. She's been really helpful through all of this, and loves me unconditionally. I love my mother, but if she's willing to let this come between us, then I don't know what to do about it. I just have to do what's best for me.
There's just too much to take all at once. I want to block everyone out of my life right now and just stand on my own. Just live for me and only me. It seems selfish, but right now, it may just be the best option. As much as I care about others, I can't keep putting everyone's best interests ahead of mine.
I have goals. I have a dream. I'll live it. I'll do all it takes to get there, and I'm not going to give up on that just because others want to drag me down. I'll never let that happen.
God damn it. I want to go swimming. xD

Maybe it's finally clearing up.
I think I'm finally starting to grow up a bit. For the first time in a long time, I actually feel quite independent. If there's ever one thing my dad taught me that is a valuable life lesson it's that you can never rely on anyone else. You can only count on one person in this world, and that is yourself.
I FINALLY got registered for classes, after they FINALLY processed my credits. It turns out I earned five, not four. But hey, even better, right? Anyway, I have to go up there with John Monday so I can talk to someone in the financial aid department about how my grant won't kick in until early September, so I need them to hold my classes for me so I don't get dropped. Then once my grant kicks in, that should pay for full tuition and books. The only money I have to worry about it what I spend on myself personally for living, and trust me, not having money is an easy way to learn not to spend a lot of it on yourself. XD
So once I tell them this, everything should be all set and my classes should be starting August 25th. I'm excited! I'm going to have Calculus I Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings, College Composition I Honors Tuesday and Thursday mornings, Intro to Visual Communications Wednesday evenings and German I Tuesday and Thursday evenings. It's amazing. Only 4 classes and they're worth 14 credits, and that's not including the 5 I've already earned. I'm a little worried about getting lost since I decided to challenge myself and take the higher classes, like calculus. I think that as long as I ask for help when I don't get something, I should be fine. We all know what this means. I get to go SCHOOL SUPPLY SHOPPING!! That's my favorite part of August, don't ya know?! Haha. I'm a nerd, so what?
It's probably a good thing that I'm going to try to keep my mind focused solely on school. I've been given such a great opportunity. Who cares if it's just a community college? I have an opportunity no one else in my family has had and I'm going to take advantage of every second of it! I'm going to put so much work into my education, because I WANT to get somewhere in life. I want to be able to get out of there, get a good job, and be able to stand on my own two feet. I'm finally learning how to be strong on my own, and that's a great feeling.
The only problem? Still can't drive. Hoping to change that really soon though, so I can get myself to class. Until then, I have to bike to class every weekday morning. Not that I mind that, though. I think a nice bike ride would be a good way to start off the day. :D Plus, if I bike, I don't have to pay for a parking pass. Haha. Oh well, I'll figure that all out when the time comes.
Until then, things seem to be going great. I've already seen minor changes in my every day life that make me view myself as a more responsible person. My sleep schedule is still a bit messed up again, but that's easily fixable. In fact, I think I'm going to play some playstation and then hit the sack. xP

I should sleep. Sleep and dream.
I don't know. I have no clue why I'm still up. I was playing Runescape most of the night. *yawn* It's so hot in here and I'm so tired. I'm almost afraid to sleep in hopes that I'll get a call back today from the college because I called and left a message yesterday. Also my mom is apparently leaving today to go stay with her sister. I don't know if it's just for a few days or what, but I really don't want her to stay gone. This whole issue is dumb. On the other hand, there would be less fights with my parents, but still. I don't know. I just hope everything works out okay.
I don't know whether I'm happy or depressed lately. It's an odd feeling. Like, I get really depressing thoughts, but through all of it I still try to be happy. Meh. I'm happily miserable? Who knows? xD
I just want everything to turn out for the best and I want everyone to be happy. It seems like for everyone else to be happy, my happiness will always have to be put on hold. I'm through doing that. I don't take enough time to worry about myself because I put everyone else before myself. I need to think more about what I want, what will make me happy.
What I DO know... is that I'm going to bed. I can't even keep my eyes open right now.

I wanna go shopping!
I've had a rather amusing morning, I must say. It's pretty much kicked major ass. It's the first alone time I've had in a bit. Mom sleeping, dad gone at work, so of course it all started out with me blasting good music and dancing like an idiot around the living room. :D Then I did a bit of singing, more dancing, more singing. Talking to Matt and Josh, those kinds of things. Fun stuff.
I convinced Matt to possibly sing a duet with me!! That would be amazing, seeing as how I've never had a male counterpart to do a duet with before. Also, that means I FINALLY get to do a vocal cover of a song I've wanted to tackle for a long time. "Broken" by Seether, featuring Amy Lee of Evanescence. YAY!!! :)
I'm hopefully going shopping with Josh today. *Crosses fingers* I suddenly just had this urge to go shopping at a thrift store because I need both more colorful clothing and more fitting clothing. I've lost a little weight, and I'm almost ready to start wearing clothing that isn't a size or two too big for me. Lulz. So yeah, we're gonna meet up at Value World later today, assuming that I can come up with money and a ride. ^^;;
Vanity. It's something that's bugging me a bit at the moment. I tend to dislike vain people. o.o Oh well. I guess everyone has their flaws right? No, I'm not saying that I don't have flaws. Hell, my anti-vanity could be considered a flaw just as easily. I'm starting to care more about these kinds of things though. I just never want to be at a bad level of vanity. That would suck, and then I'd slowly start to despise myself for being a hypocrite.
I can't put others down, because that doesn't make me any better and in fact, it only makes me worse. Everyone has flaws or faults. Everyone has great qualities and talents as well. We're all like one balanced scale, but we have to be careful not to tip too much to one side. If we become too flawed, then we're just screwed. If we become too great, it goes to our head and in the end we still end up too flawed in the eyes of others. I think the best way to live life is to realize our gifts without flaunting them and realize our faults without feeling sorry for ourselves; to live life without self pity and without self praise. I'm not going to claim to be perfect, because I know I'm guilty of both of those, more so the feeling sorry for myself part, but hey, that's alright. We're all human, and not ONE of us is or ever will be perfect.
Wow, that was randomly deep of me. I suppose I need something to keep my mind entertained while I try to keep myself up all day after being up all night. xD *Yawn* Curse you sleep schedual! I need to stay up so I can sleep tonight so I can get down to the college tomorrow afternoon. What fun!
I swear there was something else I was going to talk about in here, but I suppose I've covered it. o.o

Yeah, that's about as exciting as my day was today.
But the best part was that the previous statement had me laughing for about five minutes. Head buried in my bed, just laughing at nothing.
Dear God, I have issues. XD
I blame him for the blogger Twix commercial comment. Curse him. Lmfao!

*Yawn* This is going to drive me nuts. God damn class registration. I just shouldn't even look at the available class times and whatnot until I go register with John next week. I'll just end up giving myself a headache.
I have to figure out how I'm going to get Honors College Composition I and Calculus I at the same time without taking morning classes. We currently only have one car, so morning classes really wouldn't work out too well. :\
Bahhh!!! I'm going to drive myself nuts. I just hope I can get all this registering done before the Linkin Park concert, so I can actually half enjoy myself that night. xD
