The Ever-Zooming World

Is it just me, or is the world zooming faster than it should? It was just like yesterday I was getting ready (sorta) for my junior year in high school, and now I'll be a senior this year and this year's seniors....well.....they'll be gone. Was I meant to get a bunch of classes with seniors just so I won't be able to see them in my senior year like I can see them now? Are we made to adapt to something just to adapt to something else? My life and the lives of the people around me are about the shift very big gears, and I'm not quite ready yet. When I'm finally ready, I'm gonna hold on tight, sit back, and enjoy the ride.

A girl's quest for a crush

My world has gone through a double change in less than a week. I became a 17 year-old, and the world welcomed itself to the year 2006. I took it as signs that something special will happen. See, I've had this crush on this guy at my school for imma say 2 months now. He's really great. He's smart and cute and funny and just the kinda guy that i like. Does he know? you ask. No, he doesn't. But that's going to change. I plan on telling him soon. Soon could be tomorrow or next week or next month. But i know i will tell him before it's too late. So I will be embarking on a journey I've never embarked on before. I've never confronted a boy about my feelings for him before. It becomes scary sometimes, but I have nothing to lose, right? If he doesn't like me, then it's his loss. But I want him to like me. Im very likeable once you get to know me. But rejection is terrible for me. Its like shutting down something ive been working on for only so long, and now I have to get over it, just like that. I want something more. I want to experience the unknown pleasures of being close to a boyfriend in the smallest moment. To admire him up close and not feel like a fool doing it. So Crush, whether you know it or not, I like you, and I will finish my quest and let you know soon...........

New Year, New Faces

As 2006 begins to fill our hearts with a new since of hope and wonder for what the year may bring, I ask myself " How will I do in school? Am I going to study my hardest and use my brain to the fullest (like I should), or will I get into another heart-wrenching rut where I just don't do much and seek the television and the Internet for my everyday-getaway from it all (like I did)? Will I just say things to make my mother happy (which I never do; when I say it, I mean it, but I get lost along the way and seek my getaway)? I truly hope for the best for me and everyone else in this world. I hope to build relationships with good people (especially with my wonderful crush) and make myself a better person.
