forget about that beam and come straddle me
by serenity23 on November 29, 2008No Commentsoh fuck
griffen's in town
i hung out with him last night and nothing happened
go me!
except...he wasn't so pleased
so today we're going to "the movies"
and by movies, i of course mean back to his friend's house
ugh i don't even think i want to go
i was like begging my mom to say no telepathically when i asked
but unfortunately she didn't get the message
so i guess i'm going
i have a feeling he's going to try to get me to fuck him
but i really don't want to
he's a tool
so i won't
this is me, here now, saying no i will not have sex with griffen
ughhhhh
why is this so difficult
i just have to set some limits....
um okay, well i'll tell him right off the bat i don't want more than a hook up
i won't let him down my pants so he can't expect anything in return
there, those are the rules
take it or leave it
oh god, why am i shaking?
this better all go according to plan

L-O-V-E's just another word you never learned to pronounce
by serenity23 on November 28, 2008No Commentshaha my mom just tried to give me a sex talk
like "honey you know i worry about you"
don't let boys take advantage
don't get a reputation
don't do things for comic relief
oh what a laugh
wayyyyyy too late for the lectures
clearly, i am already a lost cause
it pisses me off when people try to understand me
i should just not be allowed to talk
i always forget how controversial everything i say is
people just flip when i defy society
"what?! Why would you want to do that?!"
nvm, just kidding
totally fucking kidding
my mother actually blamed my ideas on the music i listen to
like really?
If you honestly think just hearing lollipop makes me think "oh yea, i should totally go suck a dick it sounds like fun" then how the hell am i ever suposed to make my own descsions?
Girls like that are retarded
I am actually rather intelligent
as in, i know i'm making mistakes, i just keep making them anyway
not because i can't say no, not because i'm weak
really, it's because i just don't care
at this point, my body is a joke
there's no "sacred vessel" here
there's just hormones and a nice ass
and eventually, i won't have either of these things
so while i've got them, i'm going to get as many good fucking stories as humanly possible
that way, even if my life turns out to be a huge disappointment
atleast i know i had fun
call me a whore, call me a slut, but bitch, i fucking own it
i enjoy scaring guys away by being easy
i don't want a relationship with someone who wants a quick fuck anyway
see, i only put out if i'm asked
i never make the first move
you use me, i use you
easy simple balance
and really, that's all there is to everything

and i'm freaking out because i'm just so lucky
by serenity23 on November 26, 2008No Commentsomg i am so happy right now
like cloud nine, on top of the world, i love my life kind of happy
wanna know why?
it's because i have the best friends in the entire world!
They got robot love story, which is this really good techno-pop band to write me a song for my b-day! Yaayyyyyyyyyyy! <3
it is easily like the best song ever annnnndddddd to make it even awesomer if that's even possible robot love story might even put in on their album
ahhhh! How freaking cool is that?
i just can't get over how amazing my friends are for thinking of it!
I'm going to put the lyrics on here as soon as i get a chance lol
soooo yea this is easily the best birthday ever
i also got a rhapsody player which=unlimited music which=no more sleep for me, as i'll now be on here every second of my life!
Ah I'm so excited
i think i really needed today
it's making me so thankful for everything i usually just look over
I'm going to work really hard to stop beratting myself so often
I've come so far from last year and i deserve to be proud of me
i almost want to delete my entry from last night, but that feels like lying
who i am, the way i feel, it changes so fast i can't even keep up with it
that's why i write it all down in here
whenever i think i might be losing myself, i have something to look back to
like here, in this moment, i am genuinely happy
And no one can take this feeling away :)
god bless,
serenity

stay seventeen, love, the party scene has got you going
by serenity23 on November 26, 2008No CommentsIt's so crazy that i've been writing in this for over a year
I just looked back and re-read my last pre-birthday entry
and believe it or not, nothing has changed
i'm still making the same fucking mistakes
i still care so much about their cruel words and twisted stares
last time, i wished i could change
this time, i feel almost guilty wishing
because i know i'll only get let down once again
they alwasy tell you the first step is believing in yourself, but i really don't know how
i'm trying, but it isn't enough
my brain refuses to be convinced
my body refuses to push beyond the limits of normalacy
i feel so tired, so freaking aching tired
my bones can;t breathe, i think they;re bleeding
i get so scared sometimes out of nowhere and i don't really know why
i get angry too, really angry, so that i just want to disappear
I am a silent staue, but there's more to it
They can all see right through me
I see right through me
but what does that even mean?
what does any of this mean?
Thoreu the great american author spent 2 years in the woods to write down his thoughts
i spend 15 minutes in front of a computer screen, so distant, so impersonal and expect to make the same impact?
it doesn;t make sanse
even i'm not crazy enough to stop pretending to be sane
the way lindsey does
oh god, i started feeling sorry for her today
i need to cut that out
I fight back with bitter words if someone i care about hurts me
i don't bother if the person doesn;t matter
"there's nothing to fight for, it's already dead"
my thoughts are so scattered tonight
oh my god, i'm almost seventeen
i don't want to be that old
why can;t i grow the fuck up?
i have absolutely nothing to show for all my years besides this lousy journal
this right here is the only thing in my life i am truly proud of at the moment
how pathetic is that?
I wish i could just flick a switch and shut parts of me off
The parts that talk too much, the part that secretly thrives off getting guys attention
And just be left with the me who stays up until 1:30 in the morning just to be alone
I want all my insecurities gone
about my face, my body, my thoughts, my everything
tonight on the cake they bought me at gymnastics i blew out all the candles in one breath
i think that means my wish comes true
i should have wished for world peace
i need to stop being so selfish
Why do i come off so angry?
I didn;t mean for this to sound so furious
why is hatred chasing every line around?
I don;t hate myself, not completely
just pieces
just layers and skins and fragments
nothing unrepairable
so you ask:will tomorow be different?
i don;t know
i hope so
but hope is made up of petals and tissue paper
it isn;t lasting, the way knowing or understanding is
but atleast it's something worth trying for
sometimes, i just need to remind myself why i should care
sorry for the nonsense

running from lions never felt like such a mistake
by serenity23 on November 24, 2008No CommentsI hate these nothing days where i just sit at home and feel like crap
I neeed to get out, need to interact with the bright lights and pretty colors of the outside world
Staying in, inside my head, gives me headaches and advil tastes like failure
I want to be invincible and perfect
I can't have little pains and blemishes holding me down
Saturday was so confusing
I got really angry at chrs and i did nothing about it
I asked him to spot me and he just said he was busy
even when i said please
even though it would only have taken a second
I wanted to slap him when he sat down to do nothing
I mean, come on
Am i really that unimportant?
Did i really mean that little?
I guess so, because i gave it up too fast and don't regret it
I think sex always brings out people's true colors
And now i can see that Chris treats me and propbably most girls like shit unless he wants something
becuse either way I'll give it to him
Ugh, it was just one freaking spot
To him, it would have meant nothing at all
But for me, it would have made my entire day if i had been able to make it
He knows this
I told him how jealous i am, how i wish i could be half as good
And every chance he gets, he uses this little truth against me
"how come you're not doing anything? Get to work!" every single time i sit to take a break
Shut the fuck up
i am working, god damnit
he has no idea how hard it is for me to even be here, when no one cares if i even have goals
i get so frustrated sometimes i feel like crying
my body and my brain never see to be in sync
my head is always telling me i can't do the things i know i'm capable of
i hate it, and chris only makes it worse because it's just another thing i can't fight back against
i can tell him in my head "well atleast I'm going to college" or "atleast i'm taller" all i want
It doesn't make a difference, because nothing stings as bad as when someone i let get close tells me the one thing that's keeping me sane is absolutely worthless
I wish i was the kind of person who could voice this, but i'm not
I just keep it all bottled up inside and hug him goodbye like always
I don't hate him because i'm more let down than angry
It hurts to think that even basic kindness is too much to expect
But the facts speak for themselves and that's just the way it is

and the doors are all closed between your heart and mine
by serenity23 on November 22, 2008No CommentsYou gotta swim
even when the current is dragging you down, pulling your head under so deep
you're almost sure you've forgotten how to breathe
You just need to keep pushing
At the end of everything. there is a resolution
life is series of conflicts and peaces
The nights seem endless, but nothing lasts forever
we all have something to swim for, even if it sounds stupid
Tear down the doors and find your reasons
Believe in something that won't let you down so long as you don't give in
Work your hardest, try your best, and accept disappointment with grace
Letting go isn't the same thing as quitting
Just keep your head above the tidal waves, and you'll reach the shore
always, everytime

just pat my head and keep on moving
by serenity23 on November 20, 2008No Commentsit's getting cold outside
i can feel it, creeping into my blood cells
poluting, destroying me inside out
I wish i was in florida
this wind is making my eyes tear
and everyone always asks me why i'm crying
oh the irony will be the end of me
do i really look that unstable?
I'm still not talking to linds
It's kind of amazing how i can just dispose of years of friendship on a whim
I'm not sentimental; i beleive in renewal
the past is past and the present is now
of all the people i consider to be my dearest friends, i'll still talk to three of them in 5 years if I'm lucky
we let go because it makes more sense than holding on
friends are genrally chosen based on geographic relation and need
long distance friendships are futile and all around unecesary
people are disposable and replaceable with very few exceptions
i'm sure i am not one, and i can be okay with that
it just means i intend to treat others exactly the way i'm being treated
I get tired during the day, but at night I'm feeling strangely fine
i like having all this extra time to myself, where i don't have to talk to anyone and pretend to be little miss america
I can write what i think or read or listen
and no one's awake to stop me
I'm happy i got back into reading
i forgot how much it inspires me, gives me something to think about during the day
Maybe when i get around to writing those thoughts down, i can swear it was all worth it

and now we're guilt stricken sobbing with our heads on the floor
by serenity23 on November 19, 2008No CommentsI think that suicide, both the action and the word, has a certain poetry about it
It slides right off the tongue, a delicious slide in the last sylable
If you say it softly, it sounds sweet, almost innocent
It only becomes foreboding when you add the conotation
I think about things like this because otherwise they'd scare me
I need to know and explore, need to understand, so i can develop an opnion
Without opinions, without our own stances and thoughts and values, we are nothing
I want to stand alone in a crowd, be able to stand up and swear I'm not afraid of death
And Mean that as much as possible
If I were to kill myself, I would probably just find the highest buliding and jump
I think I'd like that, for my last few seconds to be in perfect free-fall; just enough time to reflect on all that I've accomplished but not enough to regret all I've left behind
statistically, girls use pills and cutting because you have the greatest probability of surviving
Boys use guns and nooses because there's no way of backing down
I find it puzzling that people would go through all the trouble if death wasn't even the ultimate goal
I can;t even imagine being that fucked up, where revenge and spite meant more than my life
Because even though I think about it sometimes, i know I would never actually do it
I don't think I could even bring myself to make the tiniest cut, to stash the pills under my bed for that little just in case
It's such an extreme and even though it sounds cliche
It's just so not me
I might stay up until one to learn self deprivation
I might walk away from chances that could be the best thing that ever happened
But I could never ever ever forgive myself for just giving in

and one day you'll fly away
by serenity23 on November 18, 20081 Commentah jew conventions! that was so much fun! I'm happy i went :) I met a cute guy. His name is john and we got fake married. We were adorable. But now, sadly, it's over and back to real life. So i guess I'm done writing like a giddy 7th grader. Bummer lol
Anyway,today at school was amazing
I've gotten to the point where not sleeping actually gives me energy
Everything is remarkable, even quantum physics equations
Alll that we are taught has order, makes sense
Yet strangely, while my classmates look around lost
I, queen of the whimsical thought, am always the first to catch on
weird
I think one of my friends is mad at me over stupid girl drama
I hate getting caught in the middle of dumb fights over boys
grr, speaking of dumb boys, matt did the weirdest thing ever in the hall today
He was just walking behind me and M, and when I turned around and noticed him, he made this strange vaguely sexual thrusting gesture
quoi?
I gave him a wtf face and walked away
ew
Oh, I randomly told my creepy gymnastics coach about Chris today
As in the hot and cold asset that is our fake relationship
not the sex part, because chris already told him about that which is strange and awkward
but the point is, I just sort of exploded
looking back to a few hours ago, i realize how dumb it probably was to say anything at all, but i just couldn;t help myself
i was dying to get it all out, tell anyone who wasn;t sam or my school friends and wasn;t already sick of it
but yeah, i don;t know
i really hate my brain sometimes
p.s. since this entry kind of sucks, i'll include this cool fiction essay i wrote for english about an awakening that i actually ejoyed writing because i'm just that cool :)
When they tell me about the accident, I do not go to my room and cry. I do not hug my mother with her arms extended and her mouth held open in a painful o or my father with his invisible sobs and bitten cheeks. Instead, I turn to the front door and go for a run. My feet hit the pavement with that confident thud, echoing from the soles of my sandals to the breath from my mouth. It occurs to me lamely that I will get blisters or shin splints. I keep on thinking it, over and over because it scares me that I can’t make myself care. The first mile comes easy, thoughtless and complete. My legs don’t tire and my lungs don’t burn, the way they used to when I first started running. The first time I swore I’d run across the world and never come home, I had made it less than the end of our street. I was thirteen and stupid and Eric was 16 and stupider. I had hated him then, even when he apologized for letting me see the blood on his arm. Because he wasn’t sorry for doing it, only for hurting me. The worst part of running away is the defeat when you realize you have nowhere to run to. I resented so badly having to turn around and walk home, across that same cracked pavement I’d glided over so powerfully minutes before. Going home and swearing, “No Eric, I won’t tell. Just as long as you stop, I’ll keep it to myself,” and trusting his word meant as much as mine. Hating so much not just that he had done it again a thousand times over, but that I’d actually believed him. My legs and arms propel me to the town line as I force my heart to keep beating. I remind myself to keep breathing. Inhale, exhale. It is so simple, so easy. I focus on blinking so my eyes won’t tear. I flex every muscle to remind myself I am powerful and strong. I try so hard not to think of anything else until I forget what I even wanted to be forgetting. After the second time I caught him cutting, I made it all the way around the block. It was raining then, the heavy kind like little satin bullets sinking into my skin. My body begged me to stop, crying out in bursts of pain from every piece of my insides. I didn’t stop though, because when I did, I saw the beads of blood sliding seamlessly over his wrist. I didn’t want to be that girl, the one with the messed up brother who believes twisted lies. I wanted, I needed his broken face, his whispered apology out of my memory. It wasn’t fair. It didn’t make sense. But running did, because that physical pain was so concrete and predictable. In the end, I stopped only because my lungs stopped first. That was the first time I genuinely hated my body for betraying me. I wished on a star I was invincible before collapsing, soaking, on the cool wet ground. A car pulls up and flashes its headlights, blinding in my face. I squint, and try to run the other direction. “May,” a voice cries out, frail and impaired. It is my mother. “Come home,” she says. “May, please, please come home,” I say nothing at all, because my voice has stopped working. This is mile four and my body is no longer mine. The endorphins and my heartbeat block out all the pain, even my mother’s. I have come too far turn around just yet, so I don’t. I dash through the bushes in front of an attractive white house, dimmed against the dark. They scratch my arms, leaving pretty symmetrical scars. I immediately think of Eric which makes me laugh. I feel insane for a moment, which is somehow gratifying. I realize it is nice not to care. I trained for hours, every day after school. One mile, then two, then three, then four. The goal was always distance, never speed. I wanted to get as far as I could away from him, from his alcohol and therapy and screaming lyrics. It didn’t matter if it took me an hour to make it down the street. As long as I was moving, I wasn’t thinking. For those few interrupted moments, I felt almost okay. The highway comes into view as the side street detour turns into a main road, a point I know to be exactly 7 miles. I feel ecstatic and free, like I have reached some sort of nirvana. My parents are nowhere to be seen. This is the farthest I have ever come, and I am so unbearably proud I almost feel like crying. It occurs to me how strange I must look to cars passing by, a teenage girl running alongside the freeway at midnight. I wonder if anyone cares, or is curious as to why I’m out here. Probably not. They have their own lives, their own problems to worry about. I am a speck of dust, a grain of sand, a tiny mosquito. No one cares, no one cares. I am absolutely nothing at all. When we were little, Eric and I had races out in the lawn. He would always let me win. He used to help me with my homework when mom and dad were both at work. He showed me songs with lyrics too deep for me to understand and read me passages from books about dying. He treated me like an equal because we were friends. Are friends. He’s not dead yet. I imagine life without him, and it hits me so hard that all of a sudden I have to stop running. Midstride, I just quit and sit down on the cold unforgiving asphalt curb while speeding cars fly by, ringing in my ears. Oh god. My older brother is in the hospital because he OD’d on sleeping pills. There it is, straight out in the open midnight air. The truth speaks for itself. I think of my mother, who is probably home by now crying in the kitchen. I think of my father, who has probably gone to bed to sleep off this latest tragedy. I think of myself, and what a horrible person I am for thinking I could leave it all behind. Suddenly, my body feels exhausted and ruined, no longer invincible. My feet are bleeding and my hands shake when I try to study them in the moonlight. How stupid I was for thinking I could run forever. If it’s seven miles or a million, the number can’t be infinite. Everything has to come to an end eventually. A sick sad truth hits me as I realize that even though I still don’t want to go home, I can’t think of anywhere else I’d rather be. I pick myself off the ground and start off in the direction I came. “seven miles,” I say. It sounds so crazy that I must be dreaming, but I’m not. Otherwise, Eric’s presence in every labored breath couldn’t be nearly so real. “he’ll be okay,” I whisper, and somehow as I say the words, I know that they are true. They just feel too strong and certain to be anything less. I repeat them, because the make me feel safer. They become my mantra, beating along to every walking step I take back home. “He’ll be okay,” I know this because even if no one else cares, I have enough faith to compensate. “He’ll be okay,” And, given time, so will I.
wow
boys are stupid
haha i win
what now griff?
Did you learn your lesson for next time?
Don't believe everything you hear about me
i only put out when it's convenient
he was so pissed that i didn't want more than his tongue down my throat
not that i even wanted that, too be perfectly honest
i was just being nice
but being dumb and toolish he had no way of voicing his contempt
therefore, i just did it for him and summed up his existence as an ass
touche
he was texting me after i left like what the hell you're a jerk
no, not really
i'm just so much smarter than you
and this is what happens when you try to use me and i have nothing to gain
denying him makes such a better story than fucking him
sex is predictable, rejection is a complication
and as i explained to girffen, it's really all about the story
haha i love it, i'm so in control
better not mess with me, boys
i may look pretty, but i swear to god i'm also clever
