Something next to normal would be okay...

Wow. I completely forgot I had this. Sorry to the nobody who reads this for my 8 month sudden hiatus. So much has happened since my fall at school & my big city weekend, I feel as if that's worlds away. I'm glad I took the time to reread my entries. It was so weird back then, thinking back. I'll elaborate and such. This is going to be one hell of a long post, so I'll start with WHY I'm picking this up again.

Well, here I go. Basically, I've been reading a lot of good books lately. And whenever I read a good book (which is like, all the time) I wonder how my life would be as a book. And then I remembered I had this thing. Also, I've decided that keeping my honest-to-world thoughts on a blog would be great. I need to rant and update my imaginary friend (i.e- the nobody who reads this) about my life. I've really fallen off the self-improvement bandwagon as of late, and I need to get back into that. Which I will. With the help of this blog. I've been feeling increasingly lonely, not that I don't have anyone sort of way, but in the "i have a lot of people, but nobody at the same time" kind of way. It's confusing, I know. But I personally vow to update this at LEAST once a week. They'll be long ass posts if I post only once a week, so stay tuned! Haha, not. Moving on? Yes.

Tons of stuffs has happened since septemeber. The big one: I had my back surgery. On march 3rd, that is. ZOMG, t'was a bitch. I'm still dealing with the reprecussions actually, and I only went back to school last monday. I have a huge 16 inch scar equipped with pain and numbness all up and down my back (and various random places on my body). I was on major pain killers to the point where I was supposed to go through strong withdrawal, I didn't, luckily. It was so intense and bad and terrible I can't even convey how bad it was. Note to self: DON'T GET SURGERY. Them tonsels are staying put. Who cares if I snore? HAH. They can stay. But seriously, it was really rough. I was a mess, and always in pain, and ... just bad. Don't listen to that sugar coated crap you read on the internet ("NO BIGGIE! you get drugs") HAH! The drugs did little to nothing, the whole thing just sucked worse than anything you can possibly imagine. I don't want sympathy, people. I just want time to adjust, and I don't want the accusing "what the eff is wrong with this girl" stares, because I'm aware I look completely normal. No, I don't go wearing belly/high cut shirts to school so you can't see the scar, nor can you feel the blithering pain. So stfu. :D I went back into the city last weekend with Jen, it was great. More updates on the Jen front later, considering I apparrently had some issues with Jen back in september. haha, I didn't remember. Continuing...

School is OKAY. Just okay. I take back everything I said about my english teacher, I love her. I really do. She has trouble controlling the class, but that's just because she doesn't really command respect as well as she could. Not the point. Point is, she's a great teacher and i've learned a lot, and she's going to be my AP English teacher next year. I know what you're thinking: "is she f*cking crazy?!" the answer to that question: YES! But I want to get my butt into hunter AND into a dorm room, so therefor 180 days of Ap classes will have to go under way. Math is going great too! I LOVE MR. ARMSTRONG. Holy crap man, this dude can teach a piece of ply wood to write the quadratic equation while figuring out the cosine of X if he had to. NO JOKE. My math grades are un-flipping-believable and I couldn't be happier. It doesn't come too easy, but I pay attention and I [don't] seriously do my homework, so I'm working on it. I expect 85+ on that mofo regents. I'm also taking Accl. Honors precalc next year, which should be awesome because Cuzzo teaches it, and she too could teach ply wood to do math tricks :D. Italian sucks like you wouldn't believe. I'm sure something dramatical will happen with Sig. C this week and I'll devote an entire section to her marvels because she infuriates me to no end. I'm no longer taking a first period science because I'm taking AP environmental next year, so now periods 1 & 2 I have study hall which is the BOMB because I get to spend it with cims<3. Cims is just so awesome. I can't even explain how much she helps me, and I help her too. It's just great. She really cares about me... not my "smarts" or my "integrity" or any of that. We're friends, nix age difference, minus teacher/student. Ha. USH is awesome as usual, I rock that class, and I love Gross/Sanders so it's all good. I'm taking health now too, which is interesting I suppose. Most of it we've learned already, minus the sex ed part, which is what we're doing now. It's actually really fun and my health teacher is really cool, so it works. Ozman is batshit crazy. Sorry, but oh so true. Great person blah blah, but OH. MY. GOD. I hate this beethoven thing we've got to do. The crazy lady signed us up for a huge performance of beethoven's 9th, which is 97 PAGES LONG! DUUUDE. It sucks soo much because it's too involved, and it's very hard to sing sooo high all the time, and i'm not even performing it or any of our other music because it's just too much/i don't care enough to try/i so don't want to do it. So there. But other than that, school is pretty much the same. Obviously, not awkward or anything anymore. But we've got like, 14 days of instruction left. Legit. Wooo!

So here's the dealio with Jen. I used to be intimidated by her and everything, which sucked. But now we're really close. She's a lot different than I am which is good, because we have different experiences. She holds back a lot around me because she's afraid to call me a best friend or whatever, which is totally cool. I don't think I really have a best friend anymore. I mean, I have Ashley, but we've drifted apart, as much as we hate to admit. I mean, I'll always love her and everything, but it's just not as good as it used to be. We always will care and everything, I mean the girl never left my side while I was hardcore recovering, but just today she told me she couldn't come over because she was helping her sister with global homework, and then I see her walking down the street with her other friend Kellie. I asked her about it via text about 2 hours ago and she hasn't said a word to me since. Lovely, I know. I just love being lied to, or diched, or both. They make me SO happy. (I lied, sarcasm is my best friend. suck that.) I don't know, I think this is what I mean by lonely. I have a lot of friends and stuff, but there's always someone closser to that person, or more important, or that comes before I do. So while I'm much closer with Ashley than I am to Jen, they both do similar things. It kind of sucks, I'm aware. I almost feel like I'm closer to Cims than I am to anyone else at school, and that my *real* best friend, my number one is my Grandma. It's weird, I know, but so not for me. Seriously, I'd lose my marbles if something ever happened to her. Back on topic, I feel very isolated from society in these passive-aggressive-i'm-friends-with-you-now-but-not-entirely relationships. Sigh.

I was doing pretty good with my eating up until late. I've been kind of rediculous these past 2 weeks, and I really need to stop it. That's all i'm going to say on this topic. Moving on.

Let me think, what else has happened? OH YEAH DUDE. Spring Awakening closed. I lied about the whole staying away for 6 months. I caved, i think 5 times between october and january. Of course I went to the last performance. I've never cried so much in a theatre in my life. I can't explain it, but Spring just.. was my life for a solid year. I miss it so much. But I've, of course, found a new musical obsession that will surely replace Spring as Spring did to Rent. It's called Next to Normal, and is one of the most powerful things I've ever seen on stage. I'm listening to it as I write this, actually. It's so intense, I just love it. Not to mention Aaron Tveit (ta-vate), who I've loved for like, a year now. The best Fiyero EVER. EVER. EVER. I love that guy. I want a hug from him; I think he'd give really good hugs. Ha, I love hugs from broadway boys. They fill that void in my life lmao. Point being, it's amazing, it needs to win a million tony awards, go see it. I saw it saturday, along with Heights for the first time since my last post. I really do enjoy heights. Not really on my top 5, but I thoroghly enjoy it.

OOH! American Idol season finale is on tonight. Actually it's on right now, but I'm not going to start watching until a little later. Kris vs. Adam. I love them both, actually. I love Adam more, and only really because he's such a theatre buff. He understudied Fiyero in LA. Which is made of epic win, so of course he got my vote. But love krist too. We'll see what happens. Anyway, this weekend is memorial day weekend. 4 days off! WOO! I'm happy, I need a break, I'm just getting tired. I'm currently reading Broadway Nights, which also inspired me to keep this going. I'm going to try to be fully committed, and I *might* even post the link to the blog around. Maybe. Considering nobody even knows this exists. WOO, not. I think I'm going to go for now. I could babble on some more, and I might update later today, but the bottom line is, I'm surviving, and I'm border line happy. New obsessions keep me occupied. I wonder if I need a therapist. I feel like I could benefit. Who knows... anywho, until next time.
