Update

Quick update - I've changed the comments system to allow anyone to comment, even unregistered users.

I'll actually write later today.

And Then He Read His Comments...

Okay, so I have amazing friends.

I always have.

I'm...very lucky. Incredibly lucky.

So thank you. All of you. For saying what you said, and being there. This one's for you.

Archivalry

Just some oddities in the English language that should be pointed out. =)

Some of these are quite good and some are horrendous, but most of them are funny so it's a good read. Enjoy.

* Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?
* Before they invented drawing boards, what did they go back to?
* Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery?
* If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do the rest drown, too?
* If the "black box" flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash, why isn't the whole airplane made out of that stuff?
* Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice"?
* If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?
* Whose cruel idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have a "S" in it?
* How is it possible to have a civil war?
* What do you do when you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant?
* Would a fly without wings be called a walk?
* What was the best thing before sliced bread?
* If you take an oriental man and spin him around several times, does he become disoriented?
* If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes?

* Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites?
* Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things?
* Why isn't 11 pronounced "onety one"?
* "I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I do" is the longest?
* If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed?
* If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP?
* If olive oil comes from olives, where does babyoil come from?

A Little More About Me? How About A Lot. Welcome To Who I Am.

What use is a blog anyway? I can't write what I feel about matters that I think about every day. A blog is only good for what doesn't involve anyone else. As soon as I have something to say that isn't socially acceptable...

I understand the desire for a secret blog. I don't have one. I won't have one. But I cannot write my feelings here either.

Ask anyone that knows me or has known me and they will say I am a dramatic person. I do not hide my feelings about things that upset me easily. If I am upset or sad about something, you will know. And it's hard for me to find the right words when I'm upset. I can find them eventually, but by the time I do it's usually become frustrating for the person I'm trying to talk to. Many people find the use of AIM to be a dividing experience. They say that there is no real connection and that emotion is impossible to express over an IM window. I love words. I love to write. I can express feeling through words and it can be meaningful. I love to hear someone's voice as well, but picking up the phone and calling someone I want to talk to makes me uncomfortable. I don't know if they want to talk to me, and more than half the time I manage to convince myself they don't. Call me crazy, you won't be the first. It's funny to think about, because I want to hear my phone ring so much. Someone wants to talk to you? All of a sudden you're special.

And so I play stupid dramatic games that I know piss some people off. I will put up an away message that is sad or depressing because I want people to feel sorry for me or I want them to IM me asking me what's wrong. I'm an asshole, and I'm a chicken. I can't tell someone directly how I feel so I leave an away message up that I hope they look at? That's sad. Only one person in my life has called me on this, and now she's...

There was a time in my short life when people came to talk to me. People trusted me.

And the one person that wants to talk to me I can't talk to.

I am selfless. I don't do things for myself except the exceptionally stupid 'sad away message' thing. As much as it may seem as though I am doing something for myself, it's usually because I want to do something for another. I don't care how much I hurt myself if it makes someone I care about happy. Go on and shoot me through the heart because if it makes your life happier or better or easier, I shouldn't have anything to say against that.

I don't feel like I show when I am angry to many people. I don't deny that I show when I am annoyed with someone else, but I doubt most of the people I know have ever seen me actually angry about something.

Lastly, I do not let things out of my life easily. Equate it to the divorce and the incredible agony it caused, or just call me insane one last time. I will not forget you. I remember the big things, and I remember the little things. I still look at the people I used to hang out with. I don't know them anymore but I remember when we did. I will constantly be reminded of things. I will not let them out of my life. I can't. I'm afraid of losing those things that meant something to me, and god help you if I truly cared about you. My mind runs at a million miles a minute, and you are a part of every mile, every minute. I cannot let go. I never let go. I'm sorry.

My Kinda Quote =)

My quote of the week will be somewhat different than others. For one, I doubt I'll actually put up one regularly. It'll just be whenever I stumble upon one worthy of the blog. The first to grace it's pages?

"Oh it's on like Donkey Kong, biotch."

I sat at the Rec this afternoon with a great sense of purpose. Having the stage on the floor and in full round made it possible for me to see the entire cast and their faces the entire rehearsal, whether they were acting or not, and it was something I had never experienced before. It made everyone a part of the play in a way I'd never felt before.

Still haven't found that date, but it's funny to think about how it all worked out. As soon as the first girl was asked, the race was on. Because if you're idle after that first girl, pretty soon you'll be dateless without a chance. It took about two days for the asking to die down a bit...but that initial burst was there and it hit some people hard while others were overjoyed. Oh the politics of Prom.

I personally wanted to take Gabe to Prom. It sucks that he has a date.

Now let's talk tuxes. Part of me is really pushing for my original plans to go through and get a red tux with a black shirt and red tie. Someone pointed out to me that I'd be going stag if I tried to do wear that.

But I want a unique tuxedo this year. Something cool...and what about ties? Bowtie or not? So many choices...

I've definately reached some sort of pinnacle in blogging, as I have successfully had someone who was drunk comment on it. I need an award...hmm...I'll make one myself!

Wow.

I'm a tool.

Community Blog Proposal #2

Okay, so the community blog I originally proposed was killed and destroyed on impact.

What about a Chambers blog? One where we can just rant and rave, suggest and dismiss, and overall just have a good time? I think almost every Hilltone and Laurelei has a Xanga or Blog...it might be fun...

Lemme know.

I've got a lot more to write...I'll post it soon.

Prom

Everyone's caught up in this huge extravaganza called Prom. It's our senior Prom! We should be excited right? Damn right we should.

It's getting closer and closer...I should probably get on that whole date thing...

The Prom date. It has enough potential to be "drama of the year." Not just me, but with anyone. It's always been a big deal in the past, so I'm not expecting that to change.

It would just be so nice if the politics concerning Prom could be sidestepped by taking someone who I would have a great time with. I'm not saying it would hurt to take someone I was interested in, not in the slightest, but I really want the focus of Prom to be having a great time from the second we start getting dressed all the way through till the morning after.

Prom has the potential to be amazing. It's time it lived up to it.
