    I think that I am really okay with the past. All of the past, not just parts of it, but the whole thing. I mean, when I really think about I should never be ashamed of my past, for that is what makes me the person I am today. Of course I have my faults and my problems, but altogether I'm pretty happy with the person I am.

    Sometimes I, of course, don't feel so okay with myself, but for the most part I am a pretty good person. I think a lot of the time I don't feel adequete enough, but through Dar and Camden I've tried my best to realize it's nonsense.

    Last night Dar was over (due to Veteran's Day) and we talked of our pasts (like before we met each other) for about two hours, or seemed that way at least. It was nice too, and I wasn't like 'oh no, I was so wierd then!'  I just talked about it with a shrug, just thinking 'yeah, that was me then, and this is me now.' It was just a really nice feeling. I even opened up to Dar and told him a few things in my past that I never really tell anyone. One of them he could tell it kind of had an impact on me then and affected me throughout my childhood, and he just walked over to me and kissed me on the lips like everything was going to be alright and I knew it would be.

    It's just a terribly nice feeling to not only no longer live in the past, but to also feel comfortable with it. I don't honestly remember the last time I felt like this. It's such a relief.

    I'm writing again, another non-murder. This one will hopefully be a bit longer. I'm writing in a romanticism stlye. Camden is going to take it after I get so far along and do an alternate ending, I'm terribly excited. I don't have much written yet, but I'll get to it, I just need to get the ball rolling.

    I'm currently reading her book Wuthering Heights thanks to Camden. So far it's great. It's due on my mother's birthday.

    Do you ever really look around your home or room? I mean really, really look around it. Sit on the floor of your bedroom and just peer up at the walls. It almost feels like you don't live there because you never look at it that way. It's like, by looking at it that way you realize what you take for granted.

    Arnol came over Friday, which was cool I suppose. I just really wanted that evening to myself and my mom, but it's okay. I was suppose to go the movies with the girl I went bowling with before. She invited me during gym, and I figured her boyfriend would go along so when she called later I asked if it would be okay if Dar came too. She said she'd have to ask Ky (her boyfriend) and would then call back.

    I hadn't asked Dar yet if he wanted to go, for I wasn't sure when we'd go. So, she calls back and says 'well, I don't think so, we don't really know Dar and we just don't want it to be AWKWARD.' then goes on to say Bray is going (her boyfriend's cousin who paid for my bowling last time)

    So, I said okay, but texted her and backed out.

    It just bothered me so much. When she invited me to hang out with her, I wanted to hang out with her not her, her boyfriend, and his cousin. The last time was whatever and I didn't expect it to be like that everytime. It just feels like they're trying to set me up with Bray. Plus, her boyfriend and his cousin are kind of huge..for lack of a better term, douches.

    It just made me so mad that she didn't want it to be awkward. Because I mean, it wasn't awkward or anyhitng for me when I had to not only hang out with her for the first time, but also meet to strangers. Not only that, but I was pretty much stuck with Bray because she's up her boyfriend's arse.

    I don't really see myself talking to her much anymore.

    I could rant more about Ali, my other female friend, but I think I'll just let that subject be.

    Saturday Dar came over and I almost felt like I had to live up to last weekend, which was rather impeccable. It all turned out well though.

    At one point I thought I had ruined the whole day.

    Death has once again been on my mind a lot lately, and with death comes all these questions. And something about Dar holding me in my kitchen made it all come on at once and I just couldn't hold it in anymore.

    He held my hand and then guided me to my room where we lay down on my bed and he hushed me and told it would be okay and we spoke softly of the subject at hand and then I was calm.

    The stangest part is that I haven't felt panicky or anything, talking about things usually never helps me, but it did.

    We asked his mom if he could stay over, again, but she said no, again. She said he's not old enough? So we made muffins and forgot about it. Around 11pm we decided since he couldn't stay we'd just sleep till 12 when he goes home. It was very nice,

    He texted me today asking if I had woken him up. I didn't really know what he meant at first, and the he asked if I called his name or shook him anything, and I said yes. Then he said that me doing that made him feel like we lived together, and that he really could picture us lasting that long.

    It's nice not feeling like I could lose him at any moment (which I feel that a lot of young relationships feel like that) or that we'll grow apart, since we've stayed friends for so long so easily.

    It's just like our personalities fit together. If there's anything we disagree on we just don't bother with it, neither of us will change our minds, so why bother it? I guess it's mostly just nice because we have the same ideals so there's nothing we have to figure out.

    A friend of mine is going through a tough time, I really hope I'm able to be there for him. He has been there for me so very much, I just want to return the favor. I also just hope he doesn't feel alone. I don't know if he felt like that to begin with, but I just hope he doesn't ever feel like that. He's just a wonderful person (despite anything he says) I just hope life turns out well for him, he truly deserves it.

    This weekend was absolutely wonderful.

    Friday was Halloween as you all know, and it was Halloween dress up day at school. So, I wore my Alice costume to school, and everyone liked it, I got a bunch of compliments on it which was nice.

    The shoes I was wearing with it kind of killed my feet, and by lunch I was rathet agitatated. The school day seemed to drag on, but during gym (last hour)  I changed into my Pumas, which was soooo nice on my feet.

    After school Dakota and I walked to get my haircut. The lady messed it up, and it's the third time I've gotten my hair cut incorrectly. It's okay though, Dakota says it still looks really nice and he couldn't stop touching it so that's a good thing. After my haircut we walked back to my house and fooled around, then we just layed together and talked. We eventually got dressed and I did his makeup for him (he was a vampire) and then we waited on my mom to get home so we could leave.

    We went trick or treating, and by time we had our bags half full, my feet and legs were aching (partial thanks to those shoes) so we headed home.  When we got home we made dinner and brownies, then we ate some candy and watched the Nightmare Before Christmas. I fell asleep cuddled up to him and then it was time for him to go. He said later that he had also fallen alseep but woke up before me so I didn't know.

    The next day I had been invited to his house for a bonfire. My mom took me over to his house around 2. When I got there we helped his dad with getting the fire and stuff set up. We ate around dusk before guests arrived, and the food was soo good. We went inside when his dad's friends started arriving, and talked to his mom for a while. She went outside and then we curled up on his couch and channel surfed. We watched the Rocky Horror Picture show and ate Halloween Candy. After that was about 3/4s over we went up stairs and fooled around a little, then we played the Wii.

    Playing the Wii was so much fun, I hadn't ever played one before, and tennis is so awesome! Dakota just watched for a while since he had to wait for batteries to charge. He said I looked really cute playng because I would get really excited and competitive. We laughed for what seemed like hours and then when we grew tire of playing the wii we sat on the couch in the game room. (otherwise known as the dungeon) His cat Token came in and we pet and laughed about him (hes really cute and fat) then we just cuddled up and talked. Soon, I had to leave, so his mom took me home.

    Sunday, Dakota came with me to Kohl's to get a new sweater and some jeans (I got money for my grade card)  After we went to Kohl's we went to Wendy's which was soo yummy. Then we went to a 'pet store' which was locked, and turned out to be the Humane Society anyway.Then we walked down the shopping district to the record store we love. After that we hung out at my house for a while and listened to music.

    I wish I could explain the weekend so much more, but it's impossible to show the way it felt through writing.  It was just such a great weekend. It was one of those weekends that you just want to fold up and stick in your pocket to look upon on a rainy day. It was perfect in everyway. I don't think I could get much happier then what I am now, I truly hope life continues on this way.
