It’s really amazing to see how much my demeanor had changed recently. I feel really, genuinely happy right now. Like the perfect, untainted and unbound child-like happiness. Everything’s falling into place.

Dear Thom:
We had your letter this morning. I will answer it from my point of view and of course Elaine will from hers.
First — if you are in love — that’s a good thing — that’s about the best thing that can happen to anyone. Don’t let anyone make it small or light…

Okay, so I should be doing homework now..
So Monday I had a really good phone chat with Elizabeth. I love that girl so much. It totally cut into my sleep, and I was cranky the next day, but in the long run, it’ll be more important to have good chats with Elizabeth and good hashing through my thoughts.
First of all, Elizabeth was cracking me up telling me this story about how her mom made a huge ham (classic Suzanne) last week for...

Just had an informal meeting with most of the other kids at my school planning on being in Secular Student Alliance. Holy shit I am so excited now. Everyone is very enthusiastic about getting started and almost wants to storm my schools administration and demand cooperation. We all discussed events we’d like to do, what the club should be about, and just our general feelings about how...

Baz Luhrmann discuss putting The Great Gatsby into... →
beerosie:
The New York Times has an interesting article with Baz Luhrmann as he discusses bringing the timeless classic into 3D. Personally, I can’t wait to see this film because Baz is a daring and artistic film-maker. The chance to see Mulligan, Edgerton square off with Dicaprio, plus throwing in Maguire into the mix this has the hallmarks of a movie that’s on my ‘must watch’ list.

Dismal weekend: check-in
Obsessing over: How to get my stupid school administration to finally get off their asses, take me seriously, and get my Secular Student Alliance up and running.
Working on: Studying for an AP French test that I am in no way, shape, or form ready to take.
Thinking about: Why this weekend was such a let down. Missing my sister. Evaluating my friendships. Not wanting to go to school tomorrow and...

Feeling lonely.
Amanda’s gone and I have a lot of things I should be doing, but I don’t want to do any of them. All I want to do is be with someone. Talk and laugh and goof off. And to have someone try to be there for me. To show me that they care about me.
And no one is texting me back.
It’s been like 9 hours and I already don’t know what to do without the support of Amanda. I miss her...

Birthday weekend.
Thus far, it has been a wonderful weekend. I am sure trying to retell the events to people will make it seem uneventful, but I know these are the times that remind me how precious my family is.
We all had a super good chat after dinner about how important it is that we stay together. How much we all value that as a family, we all do really enjoy eachother’s company. As terrible it is to...
