If you're willing to give something up after 7 months of "fighting" for it; then obviously it wasnt that important to you in the first place.
If you're willing to give it up, then give up. There's no use in putting yourself and others through the shit you're going through just because you're not willing to get your hands dirty.
The only way that you could possibly know that he's not into you is if he tells you. You'll know he especially doesn't like you when he decides that you're not good enough for him and that you should go fuck yourself.
You know what you want; theres no use in denying it. Put yourself in awkward positions, embarass yourself, thats what this is all about. Just have fun with it. Its only high school. Besides think about it; What have you got to loose? against What have you got to gain?
Just go get 'em girl.In this note: Hallory Sindelar (notes)

my interests
TECHNICAL THEATRE, MUSIC,
I get bored often and easily,
I'm am very easily entertained,
I thouroughly enjoy being in the rain; whether its making an ass out of myself in rain, swimming in rain, or offroading in rain.
I also enjoy writing immensely.
I love art. In every way. every genre.
Sometimes I wish I could trade my vast knowledge of pop culture for something a little more useful, but I probably wouldn't trade my infatuation with music for anything else in the world.
I enjoy school more than the average person, my teachers are fantastic.
I grew up learning that an education is something to be cherished.
I base my goals to learn as much as I can in this lifetime.
I relish in the opportunity to have true discussions with my fellow peers, "hey wut up dawg" just doesn't cut it for me like the rest of the world.
I fancy comic books,

live over the phoneis heart breaking
and awe-inspiring at the exact same time
i wish i could be there right now
standing next to my best friend
[who knows everything about me
and can tell
just by listening intently
for two seconds over the phone
when something is wrong]
watching one of the greatest bands
doing what they love to do
doing what they do best
:( life is a sad strange thing.
hopefully everything will turn out okay in the end.

Collection of Thoughts
The collection of thoughts
Of a teenaged mind
Still exploring the meanings
Of life's simplest-seeming concepts
Of passion and love
Of theology and life
Of belief and religion
Of art and expression
Of even those "forbidden-to-the-youth" concepts;
Of sex, drugs & even rock n' roll.
Life takes you to interesting places
And each and every high and low
That we must experience
Is essential to the balance
Of Life.
And without that balance,
We would be
Lost in translation
Dazed and Confused
All F***ed Up.
Do you know the feeling
Of complete and total calm?
That serene and even possibly eerie feeling,
Where its way too quiet?
Do you know the feeling
Of the ocean spray against your face
The feeling that nothing in this beautiful place
Can ever go wrong?
Do you know the feeling
After hearing the phone ring
And hoping, or even knowing,
Exactly who it was on the other line?
I do.
And sitting on this windowsill
Of this vast open window
In my step-father's 3-story mansion,
I experience all these feelings
All at once.
As I sit here
Concentrating on only
the vast blue ocean
presenting itself in front of me,
I notice
things are a bit too quiet.
Not that I mind,
But I am used to hearing
sounds of verbal abuse, chattering animals,
Sex Pistols blaring
from my brothers room.
And just as I notice
the placid consciousness,
The phone rang.
As I get up to retrieve the receiver
From my bed-side table,
Memories of the past pervade my mind
And instantly I know
who is calling.
My heart skips a beat,
And I take a step back from the nightstand.
I lean over to peak at the caller ID
And not to my surprise,
I was right.
I start pacing around the room.
What does this mean?
Why would they be calling me?
The phone stops short of the last ring.
Someone has picked it up.
[[[[i dont know what i think about it yet. i havent made up my mind. i'm probably going to change the tense.
but other than that its just a brainstorm.]]]]

21.5 People
20 people
1. List 20 things you want to say to 20 different people but you know you never will.
2. Don't say who they are.
3. feel free to comment, but don't confirm or answer anything.
4. Never discuss it again.
This list is in no particular order.
I do not [or at least try not to] put any friends before others, I am there for all my friends and I love them all.
I hope that at least some of you cherish our friendship as much as I do.
"True friends never leave each other even if one of them is walking on the wrong path of life. A true friend will try to correct the other in a way that it does not hurt the ego of the other friend. Friends don't mind when mistakes are pointed out; rather they try to accept it and change themselves for the better. True friends are those who inspire others to become better."
1. "You are Stellar." This person has changed my life so drastically in a mere 3 weeks, and I cannot deny that its the best thing that has ever happened to me. After countless endeavors with guys, always getting pushed aside and put down, I lost faith in love. This is probably the cheesiest paragraph I've ever written in my life, but I am beyond sincere. After meeting this amazing guy I my life has gone from the depths of despair and confusion to a place I never thought I could be. This person is truly stellar; they're an exceptional musician and is one of the most kind and loving person I could ever hope to know. He is so like me in so many ways that I feel he is my other half. There are hardly words to describe my feelings towards this person, but they know exactly how I feel. We understand eachother, we're telepathic; and hopefully one day soon we'll gain the ability to teleport. But above all else, we are Pirates, and we are in love.
1.5 "When it hurts to look back and you're scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there." This quote truly describes what you mean to me, and how you have been there for me when I've needed you most. You are the best friend anyone could ever have. I still can't believe I've known you for almost 7 years now! Its wild how we live over a thousand miles away from each other and still manage to be the best of friends. I love how I know that I always have you when no one else seems to be there. Thank you so much for everything. I love you.
2. "If I had one gift that I could give you, my friend, it would be the ability to see yourself as others see you, because only then would you know how extremely special you are." You are my BFFEAEAEAEUWD. You mean so much to me and sometimes I think you might have forgotten. I want you to always know that I am there for you. I also want you to remember that you are a great person and never to doubt yourself. You have the best judgment; especially when it comes to picking and choosing the guys in my life. J I truly wish that you could see how amazing you really are, and maybe you'd be a little less stressed from time to time. I love you.
3. "How lucky I am to have known someone who was so hard to say goodbye to." You, my friend, have been one of my best friends since I moved in down the street from you almost 9 years ago. We were so close that we were practically conjoined at the hip, and I I was over at your house so much that I practically lived there. We created so many wonderful memories to cherish together. It was one of the saddest days of my life when I had to move away from you. I still think about you everyday and I truly hope to see you more often from now on. I love you and miss you!4. "Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light." Jesus, woman, I have known you for over three quarters of my life! Okay, well not quite, but its very, very close. We were the best of friends when we were in school together from K-8. I remember all those times our teachers mixed us up! We looked so similar we called each other twins! I still think Tobee owes us some M & M's! You, my darling, have been there for me countless times. We have been through so much together, we grew up together, went to Mitzvah together. I still wish we were that close now, but at least we're still in touch. I hope to see more of you this year! I love you & miss you twin!
5. "It is by chance we met . . .
By choice we became friends." Oh, You hill Ferdinand! Babe, you have seriously changed my life for the better. I am so glad that we had Drama class freshmen year or I don't think we would have become as close as we are now! You are my bubbles! We have gone through so much this last year, and we stuck together through it all. We made it! If we can withstand all that shit we went through, we can withstand anything! I love you so much and I seriously think I wouldn't have been able to survive without you this year.
6. "Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you say. Best friends listen to what you don't say." Man, oh man. We've been through a lot. You are such a great guy, and ever since I first met you when we were in Farce, I have considered you to be one of my greatest friends. You have helped me through so much, even after I put you through hell. I am sorry for everything that I put you through. I am so lucky to still have you as a close friend. Thank you for all you've done for me. You seem to be the one who always knows when something is wrong, and you never seem to rest once it's resolved. Thanks! I love playing Mortal Kombat & baseball with you! Pokemon for life man! 7. "True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost." Babe, you are my Rock Star Twin. I also have to apologize for the shit I put you through too. I am so lucky to have you as a friend, and I want you to know that no matter what I'll always be there for you. You seem to always be there to put a smile on my face. You're going to be famous one day. And I'm going to be lucky to remember that I was your Rock Star Twin. J I love you!
8. "Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart." I've known you for almost 12 years of my life. You have no idea what you mean to me. I'm touched that you still remembered my birthday even though you're on the other side of the world! I'm so glad that I still get to continue my educational journey with you at Horizon. You are still one of my best friends. You make the best chocolate chip cookies and apple pies I've ever eaten. You are going to be famous someday. Whether you're a world famous chef, a pop superstar, or the world's most influential Rabbi. I love you! Long live the Three Musketeers!
9. "We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere." Its still a mystery to me how we seem to always find each other when we're in time of need; especially because we only see each other on month out of the year, and we live with a few thousand miles in between us. You are such a good guy, and you haven't deserved the shit that has happened to you this past year. I think we really were there for each other because we both were let down by people we trusted and might have loved, and that made us a little closer. I hate that I never get to see you and I hardly get to talk to you anymore. I cant wait to see you this next summer; & hopefully we'll have another amazing summer together. 10. "A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out." I'd have to say that we've both been there for eachother when no one else was. When I first met you in the fourth grade you weren't exactly accepted. But I was there for you, and in the end it paid off, because you have been there for me countless times since then. I'm so glad you we are still friends and I'm glad we were able to share the great memories that we do. You are going to go on to do great things girl! Follow your heart, & I hope to see you on broadway!
11. "Friends are the most important ingredient in this recipe of life." You my dear, are my true inspiration for life. You are so happy and inspired all the time. Your writing is beautiful, you yourself are beautiful inside and out and for that I adore you. Without you, I don't think I would've taken such a liking to crew, because you were the first person to actually initiate conversation & teach me the ropes. You are an amazing person and I'll cherish the memories we have. I'm going to miss you this year while you're up at college, but you're going to be the greatest Elementary school teacher the world has ever seen! J I love you! 12. "Friends are the Bacon Bits in the Salad Bowl of Life." You, my little friend, are definitely worth more than bacon bits in my salad. J We have had so many fun times during crew, as well as a few injuries…We are going to have such an amazing year this year during crew! I cannot wait! You are an amazing friend who I will dearly miss when you're off to college. Let's cherish this last year together and make it the best it can be!
13. " I have learned so much from you in these past two years, not just in crew but lessons in life as well. From you, I've learned not to take shit from anyone, and not to care what people think. In some ways, I definitely look up to you. We have had some fun times these past two years, and have made a tradition of stopping at Fry's before the show of opening night. I can tell we're going to have a kick ass year this year! And it definitely wont be the same without you next year.14. "Friends have all things in common." I have to say that our music taste is pretty much identical. Although thanks to you, I have found SKA. I'm not sure what I would do without SKA in my life, so for that I thank you. We've been through a lot. Truthfully, I was never really sure what to think of our friendship. I don't regret anything that has happened, except how much I let what was said ruin my year. All that is over and done now and I'm happy to be buds. We've had some pretty amazing times together. You're a pretty good guy & you have been there for me sometimes. Thanks for all the fun times. Have fun in college & go make something of yourself. <>
15. "I'll lean on you and you lean on me and we'll be okay." I felt it was necessary to use a Dave Matthews quote for this person. I've known of this person's existence since my freshman year, but it wasn't until this past year that I've really gotten to know him. He's pretty much a dork just like me, and we share a lot of the same interests like art, writing & love for comics. I think I've been over to his house more than anyone else's this summer which I guess has to say something right? He's a pretty amazing person & a great friend as well. I'm almost positive we're gonna have an amazing time this year. Oh yeah, and thanks for the yogurt. 16. "Sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down." I have known you since my first year of high school, and I really only had one year to get to know you. We had some fun times in the beginning. Then, things changed, and we grew apart. I never really understood what happened there, but after a while things changed again and you came back. I was surprised to find that we were close enough to withstand the things that happened, and I was ultimately surprised to hear from you again. I'm very glad you did. We're not as close as we were, but for being in two different stages of our educational lives we've stayed in pretty close touch. I'm glad I was there for you to find love and happiness, and I hope that you're still good. I hope to hear from you more often girl!
17. "Friendship is delicate as a glass, once broken it can be fixed but there will always be cracks." Things this year were definitely fucked up between us. You think I'm a bitch, and I thought the same about you. I couldn't believe you chose some guy you hardly knew over your best friend. You put her through hell, and you think I'm a bitch because I was there for her and didn't support you and your newly found boy toy. I'm not sorry for anything that happened. You made your choice, and things will never be the same. Maybe we'll be friends again, but probably not. But just remember this one thing alright; no guy is worth more than friendship. Was he really worth having while you lost so many friends? Don't look down at us for "abandoning" you. It was you, my dear, who abandoned us. 18. "A friend is one who knows us, but loves us anyway." I loved you for so long. You were the reason I loved showing up at school everyday. I hated that school with a passion, but you made it that much better. That day in 7th grade I'll never forget. You are one of the greatest guys I've ever met. I'm so glad I got to know you and I got to create many great memories with you. My only wish is that your mother never sent you off to boarding school. I truly believe if you never left, we'd still be as close as ever. You were my first true love, and I will never forget you.
19. "Who finds a faithful friend, finds a treasure;" A great Jewish saying for a great Jewish friend. I've known you for most of your life! You are truly inspirational kid, and I cannot wait for this year to start when we're finally back in the same school together. You and I have so much in common its sometimes scary! You are such a sweet girl, you really bring sunshine into my life. You are going to do great things with your life, I can tell because you already have. You have done a lot for Darfur already, and you're only 14 years old. I consider you to be one of my greatest friends, and I know we'll probably know each other for a very long time. J ♥ I love you kiddo.
20. "The only way to have a friend is to be one." Last, but certainly not least, I would like to acknowledge my little Mexican-Guamanian buddy. We've had so many fun times these past two years and are in for some pretty amazing ones in the future! (Forking the field!) You are so hilarious & you make an amazing cake. You are such a sweet girl and I'm so glad to have befriended you. Thanks for all the fun times, let's make this year spectacular!
21. "The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you." This great cool guy came into my life quite recently after one of my greatest experiences at Horizon ever; The Haunted House of Horrors (2007). He was whooed by my pirate charms and from then on we became fast friends. He is an amazing guitarist (from what I hear, I have yet to hear him play but I'm sure the rumors are true), and is hillariously funny. I have known him only a little while and already he's a close buddy. Hopefully we'll see more of eachother and have crazy poker nights and watch Pirates of the Caribbean, or meet up at Barnes and Noble.

today
today
when i look at life for what it is, i realize the amazing opportunities that present themselves. i realize how fortunate i am to be recieving a good education, with teachers who respect me and trust me and know how much i cherish knowledge. i realize the good in my friends and how much i like some people more than others. i realize those people, or that person, who just stands out of the crowd. who are not afraid to be themselves. who love life and make the most out of it. i realize how much i wasted on some people just because i believed in my feelings for them. i realize how they're throwing their life away and how they were never as amazing as i thought. i realize my mistakes, yet dont regret them because everything happens for a reason. if i hadnt have done those things, i wouldnt be where i am today.
i wouldnt be loving my life and the people who are in it. i wouldnt be excited to go to school to learn and to see friends. i wouldnt want to be so involved with theatre and spend all my time not sleeping and devoting myself to putting on some sort of production. i wouldnt have realized those few people who are good for me and make me genuinely happy.
its really true; life is what you make it. i've lived by that for 16 years now, or as long as i've understood what that phrase means, and its working better than i could have ever imagined.

Do You Remember?
do you remember that night
under the stars
when you whispered
in my ear;
i was the only girl for you,
that i was
a gift from god
that you wished for,
the brightest star
sent down from the night sky
to be with you.
you told me that night
that i was your one and only
the definition of beauty
the perfect girl
what happened
that tainted the love
that inspired happiness,
that ensured trust?
what happened
that dazed the image
of your perfect girl?
do you whisper
in her ear
that she is
a gift from god
that you wished for;
the brightest star
sent down from the night sky
to be with you?
You told me that night
That we were forever;
We were stars.
Now that you’re gone,
Maybe I’ll be sent back up
To the glittering night sky
To be with real stars
Who can never lie
And love me for me,
Until the day my light goes out;
Until the day I die.

Global Warming; Angry Rant
My name is Marissa Galin, and I'm somewhat of a realist. I look for logic rather than theories, though I happen to concoct some pretty bizarre theories when I get to thinking. Most of the time, that’s a bad thing.
This quote derives from the song "Warning" by Incubus. Everyday, we warn ourselves or are warned by others of the dangers around us, of the dangers we sometimes surround ourselves with. Although we are forewarned, most of the time; we ignore the signs of destruction. I admit, I tend to go looking for trouble. I like the adrenaline rush when I'm on the edge; let’s say I'm flawed in that sense, but I know when to quit while I'm in over my head. (Most of the time.) But when we are warned time and time again, and something inevitably bad happens, isn’t it only logical that we’d retaliate? Let’s take global warming as a common factor of this issue; scientists are discovering numerous causes to global warming that come from our everyday routines (which are often unnecessary) and will eventually melt the polar ice caps and flood the world and all of its contents. This is only one threatening dilemma that Mother Nature is using to get us to open our eyes; to make us realize we’re taking advantage of this gorgeous planet; that we’re destroying it bit by bit. And no one seems to give the least bit of care. The human race is a disgrace. (No pun or rhyme intended, though it was pretty funny non-the-less.) Think about it, what’s the use of having children if we’re just destroying the ground upon which they and their children and their children’s children plan to live on. One day, this whole glob of molecular mass we call “Earth” being supported in the solar system by gravitational pull will disintegrate into nothing. Matter will no longer exist; the pull will throw off the whole balance of the solar system and quite possibly the universe and could quite possibly through off the balance of the place every hopeful person thinks their souls are going after death.
[[ I’d like to state that as of this moment it is 2:43 AM and I am having trouble sleeping so I thought I’d get up and pass time by going on myspace. How sad is that? ]]
So how about, instead of living in the past, wallowing in our self-pity and grief, talking about what really should have happened; why not just go make it happen. Potential is everywhere. I see it in people I know who I don’t think will ever come around to using it. They’re living as if they don’t give a care about anything; Misfits, Rebels, Retards, whatever they call themselves. They’re only hurting themselves in the end. Right? Well, when it all boils down to it, they’re hurting everyone plus themselves. Every person can make a difference, if they tried. Now I’m not saying that I’m holding the weight of the world upon my shoulders and I’m doing everything I can to help make the world “a better place.” I’m not. I admit it. I do little things to help. I don’t publicize my accomplishments but I take pride in knowing I helped make a difference.
So this is my angry rant against humanity. It probably doesn’t make any sense to you people, but it does to me, or at least as much sense as it could make at 3 o’clock in the morning.
And I’d just like to say that I finished the latest of the Stephanie Plum novels and I’m very depressed and desperately need a life. And I’m tired. And I have horrible insomnia. And the fact that I’ve stayed up until 4 AM everyday for the past few days probably doesn’t help any.

So those of you to whom I sent this to; you are not included in this rant. But you are, however, the poor bastards who happened to be the ones I sent this rant to; and are probably even reading it too. I appreciate that. So If you actually took time to read this, you can come on over to my house tomorrow and have some cookies that Jesus and I (Buddah) just baked today.
Feel free to call me. I’ll probably be up. If I don’t answer, leave a message. Or text message me. Or…send a flare….or the NAVY…or Ranger….&Morelli….then I’d probably never answer my phone…again….

She
She's different from the rest of the girls.
She's not fake; she can tell you "good" music.
She likes to dance, sing, & act crazy with her friends.
She will over-analyze everything you can possibly say,
she can argue but she hates to.
She hates drama & can live without it & the people that cause it.
But the one thing that she will never understand
is why he can't love her the way that she loves him.
