Ok, so I've been staring at my homework for a good half an hour now and I've gotten nothing done...and I don't think staring at it for another minute would make a difference. Geh!! My brain...my head...==; These past few weeks...my goodness, I think I'm going to die soon. First of all, let's complain: I have AP Chemistry first period in the morning. Every. Single. Day. So, how is that bad? Well, let's see...For starters, I don't sleep. Therefore, being up at like 6-7 in the morning = subconciousness = I'm not awake even though I appear to be so. So then, half the times I tend to fall asleep in that class [which I hope Dr. Horsey hasn't noticed ><] and since I don't pay attention in class, when it comes to homework and quizzes or tests, I have no heck of an idea as to what to do. Just great. Yeah, yeah; I know most of yous are going to tell me to GO SLEEP EARLIER ALREADY and stuff of the like, but...knowing me, it's not going to work. If you knew why I can't get to bed early...then you'd understand the whole problem, and you probably wouldn't nag me as much. But, since that's too long to say...well, just never mind the whole situation. Let's just hope I live til summer 10.
Meh...so right now, all I have left to do is...AP English and Chem work [a ton of reading for english, and a ton of math and a report to write up for chem]. AP English...just doesn't look so appetizing to devour at the moment, while chem...let's just say even Zahra has no idea as to what to do with it either.
So...what else to write...
How's life? Well...it's definitely been stressful and tiring. But let's rewind back to my birthday. So the sunday before that, my mom gave me a birthday dinner with my sister, Andrew, and her friend at Posa Posa [which by the way, for those who want to eat there, just go for the pizza and not the diner]. It was...enjoyable, I guess. I have no words to describe it really. I could tell that he was a bit nervous, meeting with my mom and all, and Dana was being mean to him for her lack of liking towards him, my mom didn't really talk to him much [because a weekend later, she told me that she really couldn't think of anything to say], while my mom's friend broke the tension of the table by leading most of the conversations [which I was thankful for]. The food there, as I said, wasn't so great [though I did like the lasgna, but I think the one Andrew (and his dad) made was better]. Oh, and the tiramisu...eh heh heh, you could think of what happened to me after I had that...Actually, no. Even though it had coffee in it, it made me drowsy, but the thing is, I couldn't fall asleep, which to me is the most annoying thing ever. Anyway, afterwards, we [the younger ones] were dropped off at the mall to go wander around for an hour or so, which is where my sister [physically] abused him. [Grr...Dana...] Overall, I guess I could say I had a pretty good time, afterall he was there with me [hehe].
So then there's my birthday...
Nothing interesting happened really...probably the most interesting thing that happened that day was that I got to see him that morning, and he gave me something special [not going to say what =X It's a secret, hehe]. And everything after that...was all just...bleh. My family just totally forgot it was my birthday and just continued to complain and yell at me for most of the day, and yeah, let's just leave it to that.
The friday after my birthday...that was interesting. I thank Christie for starting it, and Zahra for pretty much inviting everyone (which includes: Kendi, Katie, Briana, Mari, and maybe two other people who I can't remember at the moment, while I invited Alexis and Lillie) [and also paying for my meal as her present to me]. So, a summary of that...We went to T.G.I. Friday's, which was my first time eating there. I'd say the food was amazing; at least my order was [fried shrimp...mmm...]. The ice cream and candle and singing thing was a total surprise and I was totally embarrassed when it all happened, but I still enjoyed it. However...the problem was...after eating that, I ended up having a emotional shock/trauma a few moments after the meal, which...wasn't all that pretty, ahah. Overall, I'd say that meal was a quite a bit more fun than my sunday's dinner [sowwies ><], though I could see there was a bit of tension in this one, I could also see that there wasn't as much as before...so hopefully it'll continue to dwindle away slowly, until it is all clear like air [=D].
Following the joy comes...hm...how should I say this...chaos. And not the good one. Well first of all, school starts. Therefore, my life has officially ended from day one. And on top of that, I don't what happened, just things kept coming up, one after another, and each of them just kept making me either not be able to go to bed on time if not destroyed my schedule completely. My family kept giving me papers to scan for my aunt's compensation lawsuit, since they don't know how to freakin' use the scanner and if I were to teach them, it would be an epic fail since 1, I can't talk loud enough for them to hear, and 2, they're all old partially deaf; so the whole cycle is pointless. And on top of that, I don't know, just somehow, my schedule become hectic: transporting a piano into the house one day, and spontaneously, the furniture gets removed some random day afterwards (a school day on top of that) [and because of that, I had to spend a few hours cleaning in a desert full of dust...not fun]. Emily had a sweet sixteen party that I had to attend to which I kind of spent too much time looking for a gift for her. And then there's other things that were brought up by the family that I can't really remember, but whatever the case is, it just ruined my schedule, if I ever had one that worked. So...over the year, I somehow managed to accumulate enough stress that caused a bit of a kidney failure [if not then we could guess that I somehow managed to get UTI out of who knows what, but whatever it was, I was still bleeding from a place I wasn't suppose to] that same week while all of that was happening. Yeah, that week was so absolutely fun. Well, on a good note, even though I was suppose to lay in my sickbed for the day [September 13th, the day of Emily's sweet 16 as well as the day of a Nyack Street Fair] I managed to get out of the house and kidnap him from his post and take a stroll around the fair from 3-4 [as I've been wanting to for a while, but haven't gotten a chance to until then], then go to Emily's party from 5-9, then did homework til who knows when. So yeah, that's just one day, just think about what goes on in the others.
Well it's 12 AM now...and I probably should do my homework before I end up dead again tomorrow...which will probably happen anyway. So I bid you all a good night and a good morning.
- Mood:
lazy
Ok, so I don't know, do people lose weight or gain when they're sad or happy? Um, let's just say I've lost a lot within a few weeks...6-8 pounds. So the last time I checked, I was 118, and before that I remember I was around 120. And today I checked, I'm 112. WHAT THE HECK?! Yeah I'm freaking out about this, I don't think it's a normal weight for someone who's 5'5''...and even my sister, who's shorter than me weighs more than me. Okay. So...now, what should I do?
Geh, I got to get off. I wonder if any one will see this xD
- Mood:
worried
So it's summer...and it's normal to get bug bites right? Man, I haven't gotten one in so long, I forgot how it felt like xD But now, having a total of...14 bites, it's kind of a pain in the neck x.x... especially my ankles. Yesterday my left ankle was so swollen it was painful to walk around...so I kind of slept for most of the day not to mention it's pointless to go online or the computer anyway. It seriously resembled a pig's foot...you know, the type you see in chinatown, when the pig's dead and everything, all red and gross. Yeah, ok, maybe so you don't know or you shouldn't know, but just to give you an idea =P. Oo, and should I mention how my dad totally flipped when he saw the ankle. Well, um, yeah he did...on top of that my aunt and him were semi complaining and ranting away about how I could die and everything, I thought I was going to go insane soon from listening to them. But yeah, it's nice to know they care...somewhat. Unlike my uncle who just continued talking about the stupid lotto when the other two were talking about the bites. What the heck? Sometimes...you know what, never mind. I don't care what he thinks any more, he practically doesn't care about me anyway, so what's the point? I'm just happy that I don't have XP [Xeroderma pigmentosum], or any fatal skin disease like that. But what if I died? o.O...
And I promised a story didn't I? Let's see if my writing style changed...[hopefully it's lighter]
Walking towards the cool lawn, I could smell the light scent of the fresh, cut grass linger along the warm breeze, blending itself with the sweet scent of summer. Although the night was a lot cooler than the day, it was warm enough to melt an ice cube within the time span of a few minutes. Along with me, I brough a few glasses and a jug of iced tea, which started to condense right when I stepped foot out to the yard. I could hear someone tag along from behind, making small, low groans as they heavily walked up the slightly steep path. I could guess that he was probably angrily thinking, "why do I have to carry these loads?", and I slightly giggled to this, continuing to walk forth towards the table. Once I reached it, I set down the jug and glasses and ran towards him, helping him with the load.
"Thanks," he muttered, "I almost was almost bitten to death down there."
"Hehe, well sorry, you're the one who volunteered to carry those," I laugh back jokingly.
"Does the bug repellent even work? I could feel some things nipping me..."
"Hm, who knows? Should I spray you once more?"
"Sure."
We sprayed each other once more...feeling the cool liquid against my skin linger for only millisecond brough tingles to wherever it landed. The scent wasn't that great, but it's the least we could do for fending ourselves against the army of tiny, yet ferocious creatures.
"So...shall we lay out the mat?" he asked, now seemingly less annoyed.
"Hm...yeah I guess...but where?" I gazed around, still trying to adjust to the deepened darkness of dusk.
"How about..." I could feel him searching around too, trying to find a spot.
"There," we both replied at the same time. I quietly laughed while I felt him smiling as I did so.
"I'll go do it," he volunteered once again.
"Okay," I replied. [glad to be away from the heavy chores...just kidding xD]
I went back to the table to set both of us a drink, hearing and feeling that the ice was quickly diminishing. As he finished, I could see his silhouette drop down and laid spread out to relax upon the mat. He breathed heavily as if today's work took all the strength out of him. I walked over to him, listening the comforting clinks within the glasses as the ice collided with the edges of both cups. I sat down besides him, offering his cup, waiting for him to sit up and receive it. As I waited, I took a sip from mine, feeling the cool liquid drench the drought of my throat. Some how, I ended up finishing my drink within one gulp. I set my cup down, and saw that he still hasn't touched his yet. He got up slightly and wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Feed it to me," he commanded, smiling slyly.
I blushed at this remark. "Why should I?" making back a face, which he probably couldn't see.
"Fine..." he replied back, sounding a bit disappointed.
He took his share from my hand, and took a sip. All of a sudden, he pulled me near him and transferred the liquid from his mouth to mine while our tongues danced in between. We pulled back once the dance was over. While both of us were breathing heavily, I was totally embarrassed and taken completely off-guard. I could feel the heat rise to my face, probably making it red, but I was happy that it was dark enough so that he couldn't see. I kissed him once more, attempting to catch him off-guard this time, yet I felt that it was completely unsuccessful. His lips felt cool against mine from the drink, but they were smooth yet slightly sticky against mine. Gradually the felt warm as his tongue reached forth for mines and began the dance once more. Eventually, we both pulled back as I slid myself besides him on the mat, resting my head on his shoulder and arm. As I snuggled beside him, his scent mingled with the humid, but cool air. I could see his tinted profile gazing towards the sky above, watching the show above attentively. All around us, I could hear the soft rustle of the grass as they sway with small breathe of the wind. Fireflies dance around us as their soft glows turn on and off at each beat of their own...
Sorry, but I think that's it for tonight. Will [hopefully] complete tomorrow! Actually must...x.x

My summer...sucks.
My life in general...I would say it's okay, but it kinda sucks too, so, sucks.
Meh, I haven't posted in over a month...and I think I might go insane soon x.x So much has happened I don't even know where I last left off...@.@. So...Highlights of my life:
-Concert Night: yeah I lost my place for the accompaniment, but ah wells, I could care less now. Now I gets to focus more on this seemingly impossible piece for me to play on the flute, which probably will end up being incomplete like the accompaniment part, but that's ok...for now [this person really doesn't care about anything when it's summer]. And Oo, I have other piano piece that I wanna learn >D but too bad I'm such a slow learner -.-; and with no piano on top of that...==;
-Six Flags: the music part wasn't so great, the chorus was eh...and band...we kinda screwed up sometimes, but I think everything else was amazing; especially Women's Ensemble and the String Orchestra. And congrats to us for bring back so many awards xD. And of course, six flags was amazing~ x] Didn't expect to ride Nitro, but er kays o.O;. I seriously was considering Kendi's theory when I was on it o.o; It was raining and thunderstorming, I was so scared that we'd be electricuted when we got to the top...luckily it didn't happen ^^;...
-School...Finals...ahaha...I think I was better off not studying for chem than I did...and same to global. At least I passed all of them with almost all A's. [Darnit chem...>.> just 1 frikkin point! T.T] Oo and yay~ I passed the computer test with a 71 [which, ahem, my dad was not happy with; but I really don't care as long as I passed] ; I totally thought I failed it o.o The test was so hard!! Those who plan on taking it...I recommend you take the actual class unless it's your last resort ==;. And my GPA...so darn close to a 100! I think it's the highest and closest it'll get -.- 99.88...grr. Ah wells.
-Summer Vacation Plans? Well I got none T.T besides doing summer school homework, if that even counts for anything ==; Meanwhile, my...hm, what should I call him? My...special friend...yeah, well, him, he's going to be away for most of the break to various places around the States...so far almost a week has gone by and I've heard not a word from him...i.i so yeah, I'm kinda worry and mad and depressed and a bunch of other things. And on top of that, the other half of my family's gonna be leaving me for Europe and China. [but I'm also kind of happy that I don't have to see my mom and sister for a week at the same time -.-; they've been bugging me to let go of him already everytime I'm there. So it's getting pretty annoying lately, especially my sister...urgh...oo and do I have to mention how she said I'd make a bad girlfriend o.O eh, it's kinda true...my bad stalker habits ><''] Somebody save me!! I'm so~ on the edge of falling off the mountain of sanity T.T. Moving on...
As of summer, I kinda haven't done anything that should be under summer activites category...I think. The only thing I've been doing most of the time is just have the computer on while I read...waiting for him to come on, which he never does. Or stare at my plant...which I'm so proud of x] most of them are sprouting! x]] I think. Oo yeah, I just finished reading a book called Perfect Chemistry, and it was amazing! xD [to Alexis: interracial relationships =O!] Kind of smutty, but it was light x] so it's all good. Me es too lazy to summarize the story, so might as well check it up while you're online =P. But keywords about the book: teenage romance, kinda immature, kinda sexual, gangs, imperfection, and don't judge a book by it's cover =P
So yeah, what else is there to say?
Hm...you know, I kind of want to do things that belong to the seasons for once... like go to the beach or hang out in the dark [I mean that as in just catching fireflies around the yards or go star gazing just for the heck of it...not actually "hang out" in the usual terms of going to some place]. Some things I use to do. But no. My dad's been more restricted than ever for travelling [prices] and due to family problems between my mom and her parents, I kind of can't visit the beach for a while nor watch the fireworks there [a.k.a Boston] Meh, I just miss there, along with some memories >< Watching the fireworks on July 4th just totally bring back memories >< Aang's departure date, Boston's [more amazing] fireworks, BBQ-ing [something I haven't done in a while either]...-.- The only thing I could look forward to this summer is the meteor shower, but everything else that I've mention, you could forget about it ><, it won't happen. Hm...Ok, I think that's enough for now. I sound so depressed and sad and gehhh; I'll shut up now =X
Hopefully next time's storytime~ [that's not about my life]
- Mood:
nostalgic
I probably should write, considering my skills probably went downhill for the long hiatus from everything...and about that story...I think I'll finish it another time. Once again, brain's on vacation, therefore I don't think it's in the mood for remembering things...-.-
So here it goes:
...20 minutes later, nothing in mind comes up -.-...I think it's because of the sleepiness; afterall, it's 3 a.m.
So...let's try again:
~~~~
I remember that day; it was a warm, sunny day. The sun shoned brightly resting upon a light blanket of clouds as a breeze drifted by softly as it whispers to your ears. It was the first time I heard it, the voice. Although I was sitting outside of the building [quite a far distance from it too], I could hear a soft, but clear melody play from within. It danced along the wind's whispers and glided along its breeze just as graceful as the wind itself. Rarely have I heard the instrument play such a tune nor has anyone played it with such elegance. I headed for the building, anxious to see who this fabulous musician could be. However, the closer I got, the quieter the song became. Only until I reached the back end of the music hall did the song come to a halt. I rushed down the music hall, skimming the tiny windows of each room, only to find no one in any of them. Of course, I was disappointed to find nothing, but even now I can still remember the melody clearly as if it were only a minute ago had I heard it. I tried replicating the song, but I only found failures. No chords, no notes I played ever matched the ones of the melody. Eventually, I gave up on transcribing the song myself, but yet I continued to wait for the anonymous artist to return and play their song once more.
Every so often while I sat outside in my usual spot, drawing or writing out whatever my heart contains, I could hear the tranquil song being played, just as softly as I heard it the first time. Several times I've tried to catch the mysterious culprit, but just like my transcription, I found failures. I learned over time, no to seek, just listen. Strange. The player seems to understand how I feel without ever meeting me, playing the sweet tune whenever I was down. Coincidence perhaps? [Ahem, author's interruption: I am so not liking the writing style so far T.T...so...old sounding T.T. I blame it on Shakespeare. Anywho...] Whatever the case was, I just sat there and listened. Listening to the song soothes me whenever I'm in doubt, stressed out, or just simply down. The more often it happen, the more curious I became, starting to wonder if this person is someone I actually I knew. I knew a lot of people in this school who could play well, but not to the extent of having the instrument sing such a tune. Nor did this style match anyone's that I knew of. Whatever the song was [in which all I did not recognize], it was definitely not played simply by reading the music or by memory. It was played with heart, with the artist's soul. That's what caught my attention the most.
It still irks me that I could still not yet find who this anonymous person is, yet if I continued to search for them I know I will never find them. Best thing to do is to wait, and let things go with the flow. If life wants to give you a gift, it eventually will surprise you with something. Soon enough, after weeks of endless pondering, the mystery began to unravel itself.
~~~~
Ah darnit, dad's kicking me off the computer and I've already got the story planned out T.T
Well I guess that's a goodnights then
Tomorrow/laters then
[For Amy only: accidental meet-->yay; just in case I forget =P]
</lj-embed>
o.o must...find...CD...
- Mood:
relaxed
That's what I am.
[Just had to let it out, and make emo Amy go away...]
So...hm...what to write.
Let's tell a story...
Once upon a time, on the annual twelfth night of August, a girl sat upon her bed gazing out the clear glass window watching the miraculous show being played upon the theatric skies. She would stare intentively at the sky waiting for the moment to come, yet the more she hoped the more disappointed she would get. Yet when she had her doubts, the sky would surprise her by shooting a glimmering diamond across its endless dark mine of glistening gems. Each time she saw a special one, she would make a wish. She'd wish for such things such as good luck, healthy family, a better year. Those by now she cannot tell if they have come true for situations seem to be unchanged since that summer. But there was one wish in particular that came true...a wish of love. A wish that hopefully in the next school year she could experience a romantic relationship. Out of perhaps twenty or so wishes, that one definitely came true, yet she did not know what this romance was about to bring...
So, school starts a few days after her birthday, and she is already sleep deprived from last minute work on her AP assignments. Arriving at school, she is greeted by many friends: those who have kept in touch with her over the summer, those who brought back souvenirs from their various trips to places around the globe, and those who she doesn't really talk to much. They give their warm welcome hugs, smiles, and waves, happy to see each other again. And of course, as usual, everyone compares schedules to see which classes they have together and what not. She is happy to see that she has many classes with a ton of her friends and that she won't be alone this year [...at least she thought]. Well, anyhow, so on the first day of school, nothing has seem to changed, everyone was still in the same cliques, only now they were sophomores and they hated the freshmen below. Ironic. She seems to have a pretty good day, but only to find that she was up for a really uptight year for some classes in which some have already given out packets of homework due within the first week.
Ok this is just going to become to endless rant; I think I might as well finish this tomorrow...g'nites.
So...my thoughts. If I'm depressed, then it's mostly because I feel lonely, if not then something else is wrong. But usually, when I'm alone, then obviously it's because I feel lonely [it's a habit, sorry for the common sense remark]. Those words I could never bring myself to say...I want to, but I feel like I'm being selfish if I say them. Even ever since a child I forbade myself to say. I didn't want others to think I'm relying on them; and that I could get those things done or go through things by myself [Hah, that makes it sound like pride's getting in the way >.>]. I want to tell him, but I'm so afraid to...if I do, would he think I'm too reliant on him? Too desperate? I remember when he asked me why I was always sad when we departed. That was the moment I wanted to tell him, yet I responded with something stupid like the usual "I don't know" remark. Half the times whenever he asks me how I feel, I could never respond to him right away, which is why I answer "I dunno" and just smile stupidly. Yet my answer is true, I really did not know at that time, only at night, when I get to think things through did I find the answers...but I still can't bring myself to say those words. I don't know what's stopping me, all I know it's myself, but what? Fear? [But fear of what?] If it's fear, then it's strong o.o being able to fight over my monophobia...but then, I think that phobia has lessen more since I've become more isolated. [It still doesn't erase the fact that I'm still afraid of being alone, especially in the dark.] If you're reading this, I bet you're wondering what those words are, that's something you'll find out sooner or later aka eventually. It's so strange...saying things for the first time, ne? Like saying "I love you" for the first time to the first person you truly love...or saying "I miss you". Those words...are they just words? Whenever people say them, I wonder, how sincere are they? [To this point, I think my rant makes no sense whatsoever -.- ... ] Saying "I love you" is just as hard as saying those other words...I really don't know what's stopping me, I want to say them, but I just can't. Still want to know what those words are?...
Don't go. Don't leave me here. I don't want to be alone.
They sound so selfish, don't they? ^^; Or...maybe the reason why I haven't said these words yet is because of the words that will come after. Maybe something like..."Sorry," or something along those lines. Hah, I'm so naive...something I don't want to see, I completely block it out of my view, or has that been my life all along? My family isolating me from my friends and the rest of the family since childhood...eh, who knows. It's probably my fault anyway...somehow. I guess that's enough depressing things for today. Hopefully I could get something happy to say in my next post.
- Mood:
lonely
And how long have I not posted now? Hm...I'd say a pretty long while.
So...school life has been strenous more than ever, and er dunnos, I think I might die soon from the lack of sleep? AP is triple the assignment, math is just kill me now, and the rest is probably just the same.
Family? Eh, I'd say that this whole side hates me whenever my uncle's home, but otherwise...I'm pretty much ignored half the times. The other side, on the other hand, I've been more distant towards my sister...I don't know, it just seems that way, and my mom's been moodier than ever after she's broken up with him.
Friendship...oddly, it felt weird being back in a group on thursday, but nonetheless it was fun. And...HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENDI and HAPPY BELATED BDAY! [dunno if you'll read this, but yeah, I get to finally say it x] and I think I don't need to say Happy Early Birthday, I think you've heard it enough times ^^;]
Romance...distance, distance. Or at least, that's what it feels like. Maybe busy-ness? Maybe...something I should not say? I don't knows any more.
Ok, basically in short, I'm just distancing myself from everyone, and secluding myself from all sorts of contact. Why? I have no idea. Partially it's due to school, no most of it is due to school. I hardly have time to talk to my friends any more, even Aang [...i.i] because I spend so much time doing homework, if not procrastinating. But I think it's getting better...maybe? At least I got my chem hw done xD. Darnit...I'm still competiting against Ravi ==; [and why are we talking again...? Any one have any ideas?] And I probably won't even make it on to the Principal's List this year, considering the...eh, I won't complain =X.
And DARNIT WHY DO THE RANDOM CHILDHOOD FLASHBACKS HAVE TO COME BACK NOW?! Why couldn't they have just left me forever...==; Bleh, so much for finding out why I'm so monophobic and scared of so many other things. Now I know why I hate my family so much...or well not like them even more for more reasons.
Anyway, moving on. My break...my summary:
Thurday or Wednesday?: What did I do on thursday? I don't even remember...oh yeah, I mentioned it already xD I was out with friends [yay!] And what did I do before that...? Wait, was it wednesday or thursday when we met up? I think it was wednesday now...yeah, it was. Right after school was piano practice, which was probably the least successful since I kept falling asleep, but after a few days I figured out why I was so tired...*cough*. Anyways. Right after that, I rushed home just in time to make several phone calls for the meeting. Luckily enough, I gots Lexi to give me a ride x] and yeah, what did we do? I think half the group was overly hyper off something...sugar? Tiredness? Eh, who knows. about 60-80% of the trip around the mall went to scavenging a present for my sister, Dana, which I finally found after 3 stores, and which I later found did not fit. How dandy. T.T Ah wells, at least she loves it though. And I'm still scared of Hot Topic >.>...Never put me in that place again. Or Spencers. Those are the two places Amy cannot go. All in all, right after dinner, we split, and then Lexi had to fill up her addiction of...*cough* censored, censored. Meanwhile, Amy wanders off aimlessly in Barnes and Nobles. And then we wandered out, and then met up with the rest, and then split up again because we had to leave, and before that, the shop, or whatever you call it, that Kendi recommended, I couldn't find anything for my sister. But I found something else fairly interesting....>D...ok, that looks evil. Well, interesting day, much? Maybe not to you, but it was for me x] [and also very tiring, but it was worth it]
Ok, now...
Thursday: My sister's birthday~ Yay~ Well like I said, she liked what I gave her, unlike the present my dad gave her...>.>. *cough* Well so what did I give her? You could guess >] Eh, well you might as well find out anyways. Ish a glass jewelry box and inside was the ring I got her from the trip the day before. [How romantic~ Yeah right. I ish not her boyfriend, ish the sisterly love, as Aang puts it xD] And as for what my dad gave her, I would rather not say...bleh, might as well. He gots her a...*drumroll* *badump ching* flashlight. Ok, who ...? wha? why? I'm not going to ask. My mom just simply made a joke out of it saying, "he's meaning is just 'to brighten your road so you don't get lost'" or something like that. Which didn't really help. I sooo~ envy her for getting a $50 gift card to B&N from one of my mom's co-workers. Grr. Ah wells. Well, since we were heading to the mall anyways, and went to Barnes and Nobles, she gots herself a 3D puzzle, which I've heard they were highly obnoxious and hard to figure out. But she wanted a challenge, and since it's break, so why not? And guess what? She finished that thing in an hour. That little crazy mouse. I so envy her skills, but then again, I think she got it from my mom who's amazing good with puzzles and such, and I'm the one who sucks at them. And dinner for that night was...the same thing at the same place and almost at the same time as the night before. Wow, deja vu much [neh, maybe not] ? Or just a coincidence? And yeah, that was a day.
Friday-Saturday: Nothing much to say, just dad's side family day, a day to suffer from. Walked around from Nanuet Mall to the Palisades Mall on Friday. Then on Saturday went from RiteAid to the nearest Dollarstore [was kinda surprised to see who worked there...Dennis Kelly?] while waiting for my aunt's meds then back to RiteAid, argued with the pharmacists because of their deafness then headed to Palisades then went home. The end.
Sunday: Mom's side family day. Oh boy, the mom's got really moody when me and Dana were glued to the computer. Well more like, we didn't know when we had to leave so...yeah. It's our fault, nonetheless. But anyhow, my mom's been telling us that we had to leave soon since she really wanted to go to Woodbury Commons. It took a while to get there, and the place was huge, so after being there I could see why she was so anxious for us to leave early. It totally didn't turn out how I'd expect it to be, I mean that place was HUGE. It's like nyc in an organized form o.o;. But there wasn't a point for me going there, the outcome of me shopping against the prices: 2 shirts. A T-shirt that I bought at Converse [didn't expect to buy anything there] for $5 and a cami I got for...I don't remember, but it's most likely under five. But me does not belong in a place with stores like Ralph Lauren, Gucci, Coach, etc etc. Meanwhile, shopping for the rest of the group: my mom owed her a birthday present, which were a pair of Converse, and luckily, they were able to find a pair in the store, and my uncle got her the shoelaces, and she got jeans from Aero, my uncle got sandals, I think? I don't know what else he got, and my mom got sneakers. Overall, I think they've probably spent about $120 more or less, counting $40 per pair of shoes. Oh good golly. o.o Dinner that night wasn't cheap either. We ate out at Friendly's, and the total of the meal was about $70-80. [And I would not recommend that place for meals, just get the ice cream there and leave.] And that was my Sunday. Yum. [xD so corny...]
Monday [kind of today depending on when I post this]: I ran around a lot. Though I could've hung out again, but eh, I think I was better off practicing today since the weather was great out and it was a nice walk/run, running from the Nyack College back home 2-4 times depending on how you count it. First time was from 11:30-12:30 but I ended up getting home at 1 because I was wandering around on the fields. And I love how they were filled with holes. Ick. *goosebumps moment* And why was I on the fields then? Because I was looking for something, and that's a secret =X. But it's definitely not something that lives in the holes, that I do not want to know. First time practice...it was all quiet at first then it got loud...T.T and I still can't get the same parts as when I played it last week...lovely. 1-3, retreated home for lunch. 3-4 ran back again, only ended up getting lost because I was trying to avoid the group playing on the field; I could see a couple of his brothers on the field, so yeah, a reason why I avoided them. I ran from the middle school baseball field, saw a group of people playing something...then ran off in the direction of his place, saw something that seemed like someone was getting something from the family's car, then ran back again and just took a whole detour around the middle school and college until I finally got the practice place. For most of the practice time, I couldn't bring myself to play Coming Home, the piece Ms. Plu wants me to play, so instead I played [or tried to] Unfaithful by Rihanna. At least I got through about 3.5 pages of the piece...but then again I'm just repeating myself throughout those few pages. ==; Anyway, when I was heading home, I decided to pass through the field. Apparently, one of his friends spotted me and asked if I was looking for someone, and my response was ers, I dunnos...I dunno if he's he here. And he responded, "oh, he's here alright" [not exactly his words] and then he took off looking for him. While waiting, a girl started chatting with me, who I found out she was Chinese and was fluent in mandarin and her nickname was Amy. o.O Coincidence? And I was surprised that he actually went looking for him. Well, talking to him, I felt a distance. Maybe not because of his cold, but from something else...eh, who knows, maybe it's just me. Or maybe it's not.
Break Activities~ [yay~ as if my entry isn't long enough already~]
The only things I've been doing besides those are...jewelry making, writing, and drama. Jewelry making has become painful enough that I stopped for a few days after getting burned and bruised so much. At least they're gone now...who ever thought that making hearts was so painful xD I still have a long way to go ._. Writing hasn't gotten any further than the wirewrapping...my story is still not getting anywhere...being only 4 pages long. Drama...OMGSH [pauleen?] I'M SO INLOVE WITH THIS SERIES XDD seriously. I've been watching My Lucky Star these past few days, and I'm so addicted. If only my internet wasn't so mean to me, I think I would be glued, but then again, I'm glad that it's not working [um, Amy, are you ok? o.O;] Ah, it's been a while since I cried like that or laughed like that for a reason [that I actually know and understand, unlike my random hysteria moments or when I cry with an unknown reason of the moment]. One more minute until it's Tuesday. I guess I'll continue this next time~ G'mornite.

So scared, so angry, so impatient. These pranks are seriously annoying the heck out of me and yet I'm the one who gets blamed, the reason why they've been happening to us. Aren't they tired? I really don't know what's going to happen to this point if they get caught, I really don't want to know what will happen if I face one of them. If this continues, one of them is most likely going to get hurt...yet I don't know what I should feel about that. If they get their punishment, how will they react? Will they be tempted for more or will they get scared and run off? I'm so tempted to prank them back, if only my dad would let me...eh, it's far to dangerous anyway, so never mind that. The more it happens, the worse it gets...and more insecure I'm feeling. What should I do? Dad's already called the police twice, but nothing's changed; he's even threatened them...sort of. What else is there to do...? Somebody, help me.

o.o It's been almost a month since I posted...eh heh, gomen ^^; there's just so much I could say but I just can't put into words...
So how's life? Eh, I say it's ok...oO, but the good news is I passed all my midterms with an 85+!! So proud of myself x]] In english, we've been working on descriptive creative writing, and here's my first one:
As the sun grows tired, it descends slowly down the horizon, dragging along its soft curtain of warm shades of purple, orange, and pink. Gradually, a new set of curtains are spread about amongst the skies, tinting the old with shades of sapphire and indigo. Slowly, stars begin to make their appearance within the evening sky. They glitter and dazzle, dancing along to a silent, imaginary beat, as they anxiously wait for an important guest to arrive. Meanwhile, as the new stage is being set up, up above, below an ocean of blue shimmers and gleams anxiously but gracefully watching its show. As a gentle breeze blew by, the grasses swayed to and fro, and the soft scent of the salty waters drifts from the ocean into the air. At last, it was time for her majesty to arise. She climbed graciously up the now velvet sapphire sky and a delicate blanket of clouds are wrapped around her. Tenderly, she softly shines a translucent light on the lands below her, waiting for the celebration to begin.
Underneath its beam, shines the glistening ocean. It sparkles and flutters as its soft waves gently hit the rocks and cliffs nearby, glittering in the translucent light that is shown upon it. A small roar and then a silent hush is what the ocean speaks, its verse is repeated as it becomes the ocean’s melodic tune. Suddenly, a breeze blew across the lands in a spur of a moment, impelling the grasses to hasten their dance. The sound of their sways creates a rhythmic pattern as they dance in the wind, adding another beat to the oceans tune. Amongst the grass were the crickets, who chirped softly with their soprano but peaceful voices. Alongside of them are the cicadas, who hung on the thick barks of massive trees that grew within the colossal forest. As they routinely drink the sweet sap from the nourishing tree, they gradually bellowed their low voices into the missing alto fragment of the piece. Hence, the first phase of the composition was complete, and the celebration has begun. Fireflies now awakened by this joyous melodic tune. They dance and sway about, gleaming off soft glowing lights hither and thither, attracting many other visitors to join this party. By the second phase, a group of boisterous vocalists, the night birds, hooted, cooed, and cawed while a bass choir of obscured, mysterious animals laid back in the dark hissing and sighing, sending a low murmuring sound as they breathed. As the song continues, more animals came into play. Distorted silhouettes and shadows flew from one tree to another as the playful monkeys climbed and leaped about, sending coconuts to fly and crash in each and every direction. Meanwhile, frogs from the nearby creek croaked continuously as it tried to harmonize with the echoing chimes of the crickets. Each measure increased its crescendo, until all that was heard a wild roar. Gradually, as the night became late, the animals became exhausted, and the song slowly went into a diminuendo. As the animal grew tired, group by group, each left to retire. Slowly, the music made a ritardando as the decrescendo amplified until there was nothing left but the soft sound of the ocean’s voice and the rustling dance of the grass as the wind sighed. Alas, everything with a beginning has an end…
As her majesty grew tired of the long night, she descends down from the stage, dragging along her cloak of the velvet sapphire night. Her followers as well, the stars, were now tired from the fun yet restless night. They as well silently tuck themselves back into the blankets of the night, vanishing behind the clouds of twilight. Meanwhile, a new blanket of warmth is now spread across the sky as it awaits the empress of the sun to arise. As the night has their own festival, the day has theirs…and now begins the Song of the Day.
Argh, I gots to think of something to write already!! >< So until next time~

Ok so highlights of December:
12/13 - Lexi's sweet 16 party. It was fun, had fun talking, and hanging out with a few groups...I love how everyone just bunched up into a group from one side of the room to the next xD. Oh, and this was probably my first time dancing x] Meh, I fail, but at least I tried! My failure: 3 people tried to help my with the electric slide, and I still didn't it get by the last round -.- Hasoukashi >//<! But thank yous Lexi, I enjoyed the chocolate >]
12/24-25 - Yay~ Christmas~ and the presents >]... well this year wasn't that great I guess...I gots 3 things from friends at school, while I just gave out cards. And then at home...well this side of the family didn't get me anything, not surprising really. On my mom's side, I gots $15 from my grandparents, and an mp3 from my mom, and I wonder what my uncle got me...oh yeah, gift certificates to Kinokuniya, yay! Everyone's gone broke.
12/31-1/1 - Eh, did nothing but stared at the computer for hours straight...there weren't even fireworks this year... -.-
Happy New Years everyone~~ And hope you all started out with a wonderful one!
As for me, well...
From the end of last year, everything just seemed to fall apart -.- My family...my friends...relationship...bleh.
First, family: hm, where should I start...I guess I'll start with my christmas vacation, I guess. I found out that my mom just broke up with her boyfriend, which she's been with for about 12 years now almost 13...I'm surprised she hasn't broken down, just been a little moody about it. Well, I guess that's a good thing, since she could still stand strong. But that's not the main point, the fact is, her boyfriend is my sister's dad. I wonder how she's dealing with this, even though she says she's fine, but she isn't like me. She likes to hold everything inside and take it out by anger and force. She's already had a harsh childhood with having an unofficial father and quite a distant one in fact...and besides that, her middle school life seems pretty crappy to me, or it's just the way her friends are treating her doesn't sound right. Bleh, besides my mom and her boyfriend's break up, things between my grandparents [mom's parents] doesn't look all that pretty either. Even during Christmas dinner, things didn't feel right at the table...it seemed a bit tense. For some reason I think I remember hearing my grandpa say that he wants to divorce my grandma...not sure if they actually are though, hopefully not. Afterwards, when my mom called to take pictures, an arguement just broke out between them, and then it ended with my grandma going to bed and sobbing...everything seemed so dreadful and depressing...lately, my mom's been getting moody about the phone. My grandma's been calling a lot, seeming to beg for sympathy and pity [in my mom's eyes]. The phone call always ends with my mom yelling through the phone, which me and my sister could hear in the bedroom, even with the door closed. My sister never seems to mind...it seems like she's gotten use to it...as for me, I don't know what to do...Oh and by now, all that was just about my mom's side. Now how about the dad's...well I've been trying to avoid my uncle as much as possible because he's on vacation since the week of Christmas until next monday. Lucky him. This side of the family knows how much we don't like each other, so my aunt keeps telling me to hold it together so I don't push his limits. But heck, he keeps pushing mine. Every little thing that I do that displeases him, he loves to make rants about...just like how I'm eating less..which isn't true, but it's just that I just don't eat the same things that I use to. He just had to say something about it. So it was my last click and I just shot him a comment, and my dad tried to stop him from talking, but it just made everything worse. Afterwards, he said that he should be able to say whatever, and if I don't like it then I shouldn't live here and yadayada and then said something about disclaiming [? dunno if that's the right choice of word] as niece. I probably had a crappy day before that, so after he said that, I just sat out and sobbed...things still aren't better in this house than the other. Everyone just seems to hate each other in this house...they just keep discussing about how wrong one's actions is behind their backs to one another and the same cold battles are still fought on a weekly basis. I'm tired of this. I envy how happy other families are, especially after seeing how happy my cousin and their family was...At home, I feel lonely. There's no one to ever talk to in this place...my dad can't hear me unless I yell into his ear, my aunt would get annoyed if I even spoke to her because half the time she's busy, or if we do talk, it's mostly about how horrible her day was at work or what's on sale at the groceries. Then there's my other aunt, whom I don't talk to because she scares me by popping out of nowhere all of a sudden from time to time, but then everyone in this house hates her or no, they just dislike her because they believe that she's possessed. My uncle on the other hand, only talks to me whenever he wants to see what new movies are out or something about whatever he's watching that seems pointless to me--it's always about wars in ancient China, which I take no interest in whatsoever since I'm against blood and gorey movies. So yeah...I try to stay as far away possible from them, but I know by doing that it won't improve the situation any better...it's all just making it worse. I've tried acting cheerful for once...but it never worked out. They're just like, "why are you so happy? And quit running around now will ya? You're gonna break your leg if you continue" and blah blah, pessimists. So yeah...in other words, if I'm happy and their sad, most likely within a few seconds of being with them, I'll turn sad and gloomy with them, being happy isn't a solution. Besides, wearing a mask at home? Do I really need to?
Secondly, my friends...: I don't know what's up with me lately, probably because I've been depressed for so long, I've distant myself from them? Or it's probably just how I have an issue or wording things out that I've kept things to myself for so long that made me go into depression. [that sentence look grammatical wrong, eh, but whatever, hope you understand it =P] It's just...I dunno, I can't say the things that I want to, I have the idea in my head it's just words won't come out. So whenever people ask me what's wrong, I just answer with gibberish. And then there's also the fact where I don't trust people much...and I don't want to burden them either. I never liked the feeling when someone tells you what's bothering them, you can never say the right things to comfort them, but instead you either stay quiet for a moment and say sorry or in general, you just can't do anything about it to help them. I...just don't know what to do about my situation either. But slowly, I guess, I'm trying to work it back up.
Thirdly, relationship: Eh, I tell myself not to think about it too much, but it never works. I still end up thinking about it...too much. Just like to my friends, I can't tell him the things I want to without having it sound awkward, so whenever he asks "what happened?" or "what's wrong?" I usually answer "I don't know." But then the times when I'm with him, when those questions come up, the reason why I can't answer them is different...but sort of the same. I just can't answer because whenever he asks there's just so many things going on in my mind that I can't find the right words to say. [Ahaha, I feel stupid -.-] I worry so much when I start thinking about our relationship...I mean besides the obvious that's keeping us apart...there's still things that are unsettling between us that's bothering me. Let's see if I can say/write this out right...[meh, I even almost spelt right wrong by using the word write instead ><] I feel like he lacks understanding of me...I know he gets the basic knowledge of me but I think there's other things too that he should know, but then there's my weird side of liking to have people guess and find out what those things are...so I never end up telling him. [why does this sound confusing to me already...? Sorry if I've confused you ><] And then there's the part where I don't really know him much either...I've only known him for like, what, 4 months? I still want to know more, I just don't know from where. And yes, Kendi, I'm aware of the fact that communication is essential, but for me, communicating with others...isn't so easy. Beyond that, I fear of him turning out to be one of those who, once they've got what they've wanted, they get all arrogant about it and move on to a next *cough cough* [this should sound familiar to you, Alexis and Kendi if you ever get to read this part] But he doesn't seem like the type to, so I don't think I'm worried as much about that. Then there's the part about timing and luck and such. Luck lately for me has gone downhill, but I don't think I should get into that just yet because it doesn't seem like it belongs here. But as for timing, we've been pretty distant lately, probably because I've gotten more schoolwork to do and he's trying to keep his distance and not to rush things, and there's also his parents...and mine. Oh, and I'm surprised my dad hasn't been on my case yet, even though he's gotten some hints that there's something going on between us...oh and he thinks that he only just has a crush on me, nothing else [hope you know which he is he @.@] So...yeah...back to distance...my friend suggests that we should just break up and let things go, but I'm afraid to ><. One part of me is being stubborn and feels that it should wastes all the effort put into this relationship, another part of me is scared to know what happens if we do break, and a really really small part of me opens when I'm depressing whispering to let go, it's just I refuse to listen. Then there's the selfish part of me, saying that if we break, academically, my grades are going downstream...I guess I should stop depressing you as the reader now.
Ok, so a side topic [yay~]. About my luck...let's see: I've been wanting to make a quiche for weeks now, but just yesterday, my family just totally went against the idea, so I failed. The frozen ones were expensive [$23 for 60 small quiches], not that my aunt would help me bake them anyway. But then, when I told them that I wanted to try to make it, they said sure at first, but then when we got to the grocery store, they said no. One of the reasons was because my aunt doesn't want to buy the frozen pie crust, but wants to make it, but then we'd have to buy 7 more other ingredients and spend more time on that and it was also because the crust was expensive-ish. And then there's was the thyme, which had to be so flippin expensive...grr! After I saw the price, I went back to meet my dad in some aisle with my head down, and so he's like "I guess you can't make it..." And my uncle just had to punch in the line, "well it's not like it's going to work out anyway. It'll just be a waste of money. You can't even cook" I was so in the mood of strangling him. And then yesterday, when we went to the mall, I wanted to try to buy the little biscuits that I couldn't get the last time. Turns out, they ran out of them again T.T rawr. Hopefully they'll have them buy my third try. Oh and did I mention that I was being a bee on monday and tuesday? All thanks to puberty. I hate it how I pms a day or two right before having it T.T I so wanted to just kill myself. I hate feeling that way, I hate how it makes me feel and what it makes me think. Bleh, whatever, at least after those two days I went from a depressed ghost to a happy crazy nut. Well to end this entry on a happy note, on the morning of January 3, I gots to see 5 meteors from the Quadrantids shower x], yay me~ Oh, and then there was the snow day on the 7th [wednesday]...but I dunno if it's worth being happy about. But yeah, if you were, then good for you. Be happy then, you deserve it J.
Well then, until next time~
[geez, this was a long entry, I wonder if it beat my longest entries o.o; well have fun reading~!]

I dunno which is worse: the external pain of my flippin forefinger or the internal pain that I'm dying from.
Ok, so let's start with my forefinger's issue...so...Today, I've had a pretty bad day, no, a really bad day. First, I find out that I got a horrible grade on my math quiz and my math HW quiz, which means my average for math just dropped into the 80s and my dad is sooo~ going to kill me. Second, my finger...so I was in gym, dealing with the locker issue that me, Jenna, and Alice always have: we can never get the locker closed. So while I was poking at the bookbags that were sticking out and then Jenna came and kicked the locker shut. Oh, and my finger just happened to be there at the same time, so OUCH! I gots to sit out during gym, and was not a happy camper; I sooo wanted to play basketball too! ><;;!!! Yeah, totally sucks. Oh, and I had to play at a concert tonight, which so did not work out. I faked it half the time or played out of tune. I didn't think I could do worse than last year, but that proved me wrong. Argh!!
Internally, I just don't know what to feel any more...all these emotions are bundled up inside from the start, I just don't know what to do with them now. Anger, sadness, depression, broken all at once isn't so pretty; it hurts...a lot. Today, he wanted to break up, or a break, I still don't know which and since we've never been an official couple, you can't really call it a break-up either, but anyhow, it hurted when he announced it. I just felt...I dunno, confused much? Later when I think about it, coming home from the sucky concert, the only question that was on my mind was: is it worth it? Is it worth throwing away all that effort I put into this and just simply dumping this away...is it reallyworth it? I don't exactly know what I want any more...Some part of me is blaming fate, the other part is telling me to just go with the flow...and the rest of me is just plain confused. So yeah, I'm trying not to think about it much...I hope I'll live.

1. Quit complaining so much
I think the complaints have just accumulated and I've been complaining more and more, even now I'm tired of hearing myself when I think about it...so I really should stop...*sticks a post-it to forehead*
2. What was #2 again...? Oh yeah, never ditch friends.
Eh, I think that's pretty self explanatory. And goes for the same to my friends. But then again, actions are mirrored...
3. Quit yelling and screaming.
What has gotten into me...? I don't even know how or when it started happening, but then again it's a good thing, at least I'll be able to scream if I ever get raped or robbed...
4. Doubts, doubts, doubts. Does pessimism even work now?
Eh, I dunnos, I guess it does since it helps me get through tests, xD but when did I start to become optimistic? Odd...o.O; I don't know if it's a good thing that I'm less pessimistic or not...meh.
5. Hatred...quit hating and blaming too many things.
Oh my, I've seem to be doing too much of that, that's a must must on my list. *check* Note to self: stop hating and blaming, it's just a waste of time. Oh, and stop regretting, that is a waste of time too. Bleh.
Meh, I remember what else I was going to say, so I guess I shall just end it here. Until next time~

Oh...my.
I didn't think I should've done it, but apparently curiousity kills the cat and now the cat has died. Meow. (=x.x=)
Ok, so what did I do? Um, I had did a tarot reading for myself, which I haven't done since...what? Last year? Eh, probably since the beginning of summer...
So...my reading...eh heh...
Well this is how my condensed format goes: shuffle, pick out 3 cards from the deck, lay them out having the first one of the left being the past card, second one from it would be the present, and third one future. Yeah, I know I'm being lazy by not doing the other formats, but hey it works for me.
Anyhow, my cards:
Past:
Two of Cups (reversed): a tumultuous relationship has too many ups and downs. Open the lines of communication to avoid misunderstanding. Basic meaning: as you might expect, the Two of Cups is about partnerships, unions, and reunions. The relationships indicated by this card contain an emotional bond. Communicate your needs, then let go and see what happens. You will find support from others, or may clear up some bad feelings.
Present:
Page of Swords: Pages represent news. A new perspective and a new way of doing things are approaching. The focus is on unexpected events in love and relationships, messages, motions, growth, and ideas. If you are hearing negativity, don't believe it. Joy will replace pessimism, so don't give up. Your search will have a successful conclusion, and everything will turn out just fine.
Future:
Nine of Pentacles: Wisdom, knowledge, and talent are present, but no love life; this is a lonely time, to be met with a measure of detachment. Success, recognition, and wealth will follow. Sometimes this card appears in the reading of a woman who is successful, but widowed or single, or a person who has great love for home and garden. Otherwise, the focus is on business, corporate enterprises, promotion, mediation, or advancement. A tempting offer will be presented. Eliminate your weak points, and doubts. Promote yourself, your business, and social activities. You will serve others, increase your wealth, and your desire for a union will be fulfilled.
Er, yeah...I don't know how else to interpret this but to say this is a pretty much so-so to a not so great reading.
天阿,为什么? 为什么你需開玩笑同我啦...? 嗎...? Not sure how I want to end the sentence...xD llama! ...meh... [and if you're planning on using an online translator, I suggest you don't since the thing won't translate it properly, but then again it depends on what translator you're using...eh, do whatever you want =P]
Ok, so on with my day...I don't even know how to say how it was...it was pretty...bland. Or it's just that I've been going on and off for most of the day, not to mention that I'm so~ going to fail that essay that I have to write in English tomorrow since I didn't pay attention for most of it. Oh boy. Meh, I think I might fall asleep on the computer, so I shall post another time, later maybe? Well then until then~

So, how's life? Ehh, I can't say it totally sucks, because it doesn't for once, but it sort of does at the same time. It has its ups and downs so I don't really know how to describe it. So what am I feeling like at the moment? I think I should just type up an except from a book that I was reading, but just gave up on it...sort of. It's from Wild Roses by Deb Caletti:
He didn't even tell me. I just heard his voice in the house a few days later and I knew what had happened. God damn it, it made me mad. I wasn't sure who I was so mad at. Dino, for bring right. Ian, for giving up himself. He had broken our pact. It was settled. At least that's how I saw it.
"Ian!" I called, after he left on his bike. He put on his brakes, had his head down. Like Dog William when he peed on the carpet. I ran to catch up to him. Fury, confusion, and hurt all mixed together so I didn't know which was which.
"You didn't tell me."
"I'm sorry. I don't know. I couldn't."
"Why? And why are you doing this? You don't even want this. Why? Please. I just don't get it."
"Look at you. I knew you'd be hurt. I didn't want to hurt you. I just couldn't do it." He reached over, picked up my head. He rubbed the top of it with his thumb.
"What happened, Ian?"
"My mom found out I quit lessons, and flipped. I told her about us. She doesn't even want me to see you anymore. Cassie, I don't want that."
Great. Nice Janet with the chipped toenail polish. Anger bubbled up. Love meant nothing, I guess, Not compared to what that violin meant. I turned my head away I stared at the Fredericis' house. I didn't even want to look at him.
"I don't want that," he said. "Do you hear me? Cassie."
"I don't see what the point is. You're going away. You're going away, right?" I said to the Fredericis' house. I didn't understand. I didn't get how things could change from that perfect day in the woods to where they were now.
"Cassie, look at me." He took my chin. Brought me eyes to his. "You know I love you."
"You sold yourself out. You're going away, right?"
His eyes were wet, from the cold maybe. Maybe he was about to cry. "Yes."
"Leave me alone," I said. I broke away from him. Hurt, the winning emotion, was rushing forward, gathering up my insides and holding them too tight. Hurt squeezed my heart, and I ran.

I don't really remember how to exactly quote/cite long quotes, but if I'm not lazy enough later, I'll probably revise. Basically I feel like I'm in a lose-lose situation, but not as traumatized or dramatic as the excerpt is. But still, my stubborn is probably one of the things that has kept from giving up, I guess that's one thing I found out what's positive about that trait...Eh, at least right now I'm feeling less in doubt, but still...
And oh my god, did I mention I need a city translator? Currently I'm reading a book called Before, After, and Somebody In Between by Jeannine Garsee and the slang is so undecipherable to me that I feel like I should hire a city-speaker translator.
