Forgiven

          It's official. I've now been driven to do quote of the day. There will be only one quote a day most likely in my posts since I don't do more than one a day. Also official: I have forgiven K. She even gave me a stuffed taco key chain that I named 'Senor Velloso'. It's extremely adorable. I feel bad for K now since her boyfriend (yeah, the guy I once had an eenie meenie super tiny crush on) AS (his initials) was ignoring her just because while he was waiting for about five seconds for her when walking to lunch and she walked into the bathroom instead because I had to go to the bathroom and she went in to look in the mirror and wait. And at our school, if you're a girl and you just walk into the bathroom and start looking into the mirror it's not exactly considered vain. But when it comes to doing makeup and straightening your hair in there it crosses the line: it shows that vain and self-absorbed is written all over them.

          And now what you've all been waiting for is the quote of the day:

"Quitting doesn't always mean you're weak enough to give up, but that you're strong enough to let go."

-Who knows

To Kill Two Birds with One Stone

          Hot Italian guy? No, I wasn't there. This weekend has been a pretty long one (literally, because it's a four day weekend) and relaxing from drama is just making it become worse. Gossip, boy drama, friend issues, annoying families, puberty; we're all here for it, especially girls. Recently I lost one of my best friends due to a guy. It's my fault we haven't been talking, I've been ignoring her; but it's her fault that she can't keep a friend like me by her side. Especially when your friend dates the guy you like. Typical movie drama. You may have seen my whole rant about this before and I'm sorry about that, I was extremely angry at the moment. I still am, but just not as much.

          Sadly most of my four day weekend consisted of sitting on the couch watching Scrubs on Netflix, reading, and completely embarrassing myself at the mall by going with my parents. I usually don't mind being around them, but they're just kind of... embarrassing. I know that's the typical thing for an American teenage girl to say, but it's true. It's not like the scenario where I say they're lame and embarrassing and most people think they're actually pretty cool (for parents). I mean, yeah, my Mom's pretty carefree and doesn't get angry too easily, but they are way too overprotective. I've never been on a camping trip without my parents (other than my Girl Scout camp) and so far they still won't let me.

          I've been reading lately, and the book I'm reading is called Kiss & Blog by Alyson Noel. It's about a girl named Winter that's ditched by her best friend Sloane, who leaves her for popularity. When Winter gains a new friend, Rey, she learns he has a blog and gets this amazing and brilliant way for revenge: creating an anonymous blog to tell Sloane's little dirty secrets. Surprisingly this book is pretty similar to my life in a way. I lost a friend because of how she has been too mean to be near, I'm becoming friends I thought I'd potentially never become friends with, and I'm talking it all out in a (mostly) anonymous blog. Oh, great minds think alike, huh? ;) My nicknames are less creative, but hey - It's easier for people to remember: K, A, Lex, E, Natli, so on. Winter's nickname for Sloane is Princess Pink, Sloane's friends are called her Pastel Posse, and Cash (Winter's longtime crush and Sloane's recent boyfriend) Captain World. She even calls herself Eleanor Rigby. I just call myself H. But soon I'll be reading Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin and The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson. If you've read and/or you're reading this comment below and tell me your opinion on them.

Are You Serious?

          I have spent a good amount of my life dealing with friends moving away, fighting, and such - just like anyone else. I know I'm not that old, but somehow I've lived long enough to survive many betrayals from my friends. The next is always worse than the one before, making it look petty and childish. There is someone I am friends with now (we have known each other since we were three), but we had a lot of drama in early elementary school. When she moved away, I had to find many more friends and not be alone. When I thought everything bad was over, my new friends made my days worse. Overall, I'm a pretty happy person, but what they did hurt. I'm pretty sensitive, so it was harder for me than others. The person my friends & i didn't like at the time is (or was) my friend. I now don't like those people at all because they are fake and mean and I am now hanging out with the girl we didn't like. We became friends after realizing a big similarity we both had: we disliked the same people for the same reasons.
          Our friendship is pretty flimsy, it has been from the start, and I knew that - but she didn't. But this thing is the most difficult to deal with: she is now dating the guy that I like. I never admitted to liking him, but she seemed to know before I even did. She said that she would never date him and that him and I were practically going out (most people thought we were, literally). The guy I like and I have an interesting history. We started out becoming friends with each other about halfway through the year, and he admitted to having a crush on me. He's the type of guy that likes every female he sees, though. We recently got into a fight, and my friend told me to just ignore him. But I couldn't, because she kept hanging around him. He used to be extra nice to me, but he's been meaner and meaner to me and nicer to my friend.
          Then at the dance, he kept hugging her. Then at the end, the very last song, it went to a slow song and they started dancing. She apparently changed her mind about him in the middle of the dance and went off with him. I was really mad at her after the dance, and she could tell (which is what I was really hoping for). I don't like him anymore, in fact, I couldn't really feel much of anything when the dance ended - I just knew I should be angry. But my friend didn't know why I was mad. It was so obvious of why i was mad at her it hurt. What she always does is treat me like crap and then realize how mad I get and she endlessly apologizes. I hope other people don't get as much bad luck with friendships as I do. My better friends say I'm a great person and friend, so why do I feel as if I get the worst friends?
