ugh..school..

Lately it seems that no matter how early I go to bed, I always wake up late. So I end up having about 10 minutes to get ready for school before I have to go out and catch the bus. It's about 8:45p.m. and if I can make it to bed by 9:30 I'll be very happy. It's funny how when I get home, if my mom isn't at home she'll leave a little list of stuff for me to do before she gets home. Check it out.
Carly--
-put away towels on futon before I get home
-eat dinner
-HW before I get home
-clean up after yourself (dishes)
-take out trash
Usually I think it's annoying, but today it's okay. Maybe that's because I ate a salad for lunch and now I'm feeling good about myself. I mean, that's about the only semi-decent vegetarian thing you can get at school, because everything else has lots of meat and grease on it or it's just a bunch of carbs. My friend Autumn and I were looking in the teacher's lunch room and the food that the lunch ladies put out for them was like super good stuff like avocados and freaking fruit salads and stuff. I mean the teachers really gotta have their energy, right? Like we don't? So, the short and short of it is, teachers get good food and the kids get crap. As it should be.

hey!

where'd all the spots go??

Gotta love that Zach Braff

I went to go see Garden State yesterday and it is one of the best movies I've seen recently. It made me cry. I'm really glad that this indie film is recieving so much attention, because it seemed like it was a lot of hard work, as every film is. As a writing and directing debut, I give it major props. One thing that I think really made the film was the soundtrack. Music is everything, and if it's not right then the whole movie is off. I really recommend this movie to anyone and everyone, and I think everyone should go get the soundtrack, which has stuff on it such as Frou Frou, Postal Service, and the Shins. Check it out!! <3

good or bad day for love??

Here's an entry from my actual journal, which I haven't written in for a while. I want everyone to see this, because I think it's relevant in everyone's life. Or at least, one..or two people's lives.
"Monica's writing in her blog and she's talking about love. I say love is crap, but maybe I just don't know how to explain it. Maybe that's just because I haven't obtained it yet. Monica said she was at Say Si and everyone was having this big conversation about love, and everyone eventually ended up depressed and crying. I guess it could have been a whole group energy thing, but I really think that if you don't have love, then how are you supposed to know what it is? Love is hard to explain, but if you haven't actually experienced it, you don't know what it is, and you can never explain it unless you experience it first. It's just like with everything else. Also, just because you do something that people in love do, such as kiss or have sex, doesn't mean you're in love with that person. Like if a man does it with a prostitute, that doesn't make him in love with her. So how can you get love so you can have it and experience it? It seems so hard to obtain. I guess it needs to be more meaningful than just walking around holding hands and kissing someone. You need to actually have a connection. You can't just pick someone out of a crowd and say, 'I think I'm gonna love you.' It's like a giant, worldwide riddle that nobody can figure out. Even people who've been married for years can't find the solution. So what is it? What will it be? What can it be, and how can we get it?"
Is it a bad thing that it hurts when I see people together? I'll be walking through the halls at school, and I will seem to be the only one there without another person. Everyone needs someone. I just can't seem to find mine.
