Title: She's got issues
Mood/s: relieved
Quote: "Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." -Mark Twain


I had some homework to do so that's why I'm updating an hour late. Yikes. I'm a very "routine" person, so forgive me. I'll just make this fast if I want to read Theo's Odessey ( by Catherine Clement) tonight--I love that book so much.

Well, I didn't get into much trouble with the Dean of Discipline today. Actually, I was more afraid that she'd tell me to cut my nails or stop wearing my heeled school shoes than getting kicked out. At least I'll be able to wear those shoes or keep my nails long in another school. Anyway, she just gave Nikki and me a lecture, and left us with a warning. She says if we do it again, she'll definitely charge us for cutting classes. Whew! Safe--for now.

I'm downloading MP3's right now. The sucky thing about MP3 is that you can't get older songs. But that's okay, I guess. It's better than nothing.

Blink182's CD is on my wish list (hint, hint).

Stephen wasn't at math tutor today, but Alex was. That was okay, cause Alex is quiet when she studies. I don't think I would've been able to accomplish anything with Stephen and Alex there at the same time. And I really needed to be taught today because I was having a little problem with Algebra. But I'm okay now.

Martin's definitely wrong about popular people. Sure, they can be real snobby sometimes but when you get to talk to them, they're actually nice. I sat with these two popular girls at Lab today, and I had a lot of fun talking to them. It was all girly stuff about boyfriends and things like that, but I didn't mind. I even got to talk to them about my crushes. I dunno, I think I'm becoming more girly these days. I still don't have that urge to starve myself so I could look good in tank tops and miniskirts, but I'm thinking of getting lipstick. Scary, huh.

I'm kind of beginning to like pop music. Like Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez. My classmates were playing Heartbreaker in the radio and I was actually singing along to it. At at math tutor today, I was humming Jennifer Lopez's song, I forgot what it was. It's so weird. But I think alternative is still da bomb, so no need to worry. And I'm still anti-boy band.

I have to take my shower. I think I'll just leave the computer on and let my MP3s download peacefully. Good night, my love.
