Time Crunch

There seems to be a lot going on, but at the same time, I feel like nothing is that important to write about. I’m near the end of my first set of review courses. These past few weeks, I’ve managed to get some studying done, but not enough. My plan for the next two weeks [while I'm in LA] is to study during the day. If I can study daily for 8 hours or more, that would be perfect. Being in San Francisco is much too distracting. Unfortunately, before I can just take off, there’s a lot of work that needs to be done. Too many things to be done and not enough of me to go around. I have a deadline coming up on Thursday for a project that time has not even been set aside for me to work on. I may just have to forgo studying this week, finish up the project, and get to the grind next week.

Bay to Breakers is this coming weekend. It should be a lot of fun. I skipped out last year, but this year, I’m planning on joining a group of 150, wearing similar outfits and just hanging out together. It’ll be the perfect way to kick off my time off from work. That is, if everything mentioned above gets done. I would hate to have work lingering on the back of my mind while I try to cram as much material into my head as possible.

This past weekend, [aside from the review course] I was out and about - Orson for a Yelp event and Yerba Buena Gardens for the Yerba Buena Gardens Festival. They have free events all summer long, and this past weekend’s performance that I caught was Los Vasallos del Sol from Venezuela.

Dear Chris,

You make me so happy. I just wish that it wasn't so complicated.

Love,

Dear Richard,
There's so much to say and we've already agreed there just aren't words for what we have. You're my everything. I never get tired of spending time with you. You bend over backwards just to make me happy. You do so much for me. If I'm not living at Brittany's you can always find me at your house.. Sleeping too late on your couch. We're sickos and I love us. I don't know how I'd live without you. We have so much planned and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I'm in love with you :]

Dear Brittany,
Thank you SO much for letting me live at your house nearly this entire term. You have no idea what it means to me and I love spending so much time with you. Just like when we were little. Thirteen years, we're fucking amazing.

Dear Caitlin,
I'm still so proud of you for getting into Mass Art. You have no idea. Ahhhh, I can't express my excitement for you. You're so amazing, homeroom wouldn't have been the same without you these past four years. I love youuu!

Dear Colie,
I miss us. We've been friends for so long, and then suddenly we fight, and don't even want to speak to eachother anymore. Things happen, we move on. I love you, this summer will be amazing. Long days and nights on the beach, sleepovers even though we're old. It'll all be okay. Love you tons.

Dear Sonia,
I miss us too. We haven't hung out really in months and months. I don't know what happened. We need to spend SOME time together this summer before you go away. And we need bilingual (sp?) children, rememeber?! Gah! Don't forget about meeee!

Dear Colleen & Steph,
My two newest really close friends. Colleen, you and I have at least known eachother since Freshman year, but this year has been so much different. So many hours in the caf talking too much about things that we shouldn't know in the first place. I'm gonna miss it. This summer, have to make plans. :]

Dear Casey & Anissa,
Same goes for you. Don't forget your favorite Seniors. We've known eachother for so long, don't let it all fade away now!

Dear Jess McNiff,
Last but not least. Babe, I love you so much, I'm not even kidding. We've had such good times. Driving to taco bell, ranting with Caitlin, playing card games under your counter when the scary people are in your house. Come onnn. You know you'd miss it terribly! You're such a strong person. You've been through so much and I know its all wearing down on you, but don't forget the friends who love you, the ones who would do anything for you. God, Caitlin, Casey, me, we'd drop anything and everything to help you. Any time. Remember that. I love to rant as much as any other teenager. I'm always here :]

DEAR FRIENDS,
WE NEED TO ALL DO STUFF THIS SUMMER! DONT FORGET ABOUT MEEEE DX OR I'LL CRY AND BE SAD!

Love, always and forever,
Máiréad :]

Always.

Dear Natalie Portman's Shaved Head,

I used to love you with a great percentage of my heart. now... not so much. I think that you're all still amazing musicians but I miss the good old days when you just played for fun. I remember sitting on couches in an old church listening to crappy electro soloists and 2 hours of big-screen tetris just so I could see you guys! I remember you were off that night but at least that was pre-Beard Lust remix. The original (which shall remain on my iPod until I die) is 5,000,000 times better.

I remember when I could listen to full sounds on your myspace, not one minute excerpts. I remember the good ol' days. I ran your monitors at a show once, it was really not such an amazing job on my part but Sean and David were really nice to me and it stuck in my mind.

Hearing about your show last Saturday I don't ever want to bother seeing you again. Your music is dancable but it does not ignite the same thrilling fire in my soul that it had in months past. So, cheers to you. I hope you make it big. I guess.

Help With A Quote
Hi all, I just joined this community today, though I've been lurking here reading past entires for a while. This may be a rather stupid question, but there's this phrase that's been bouncing around in my mind, and I was wondering if it was an FLB quote. I feel as if it might be, but it could also be something I heard elsewhere. If anyone has any ideas about it, I would really appreciate the help =]

It goes something like this, though I'm probably completely messing parts of it up: "They've both done wrong things. And they've loved each other too much."

Sorry if this is totally off topic...

I am so sick and tired of your stupid alcoholic ass. It's only 7:00pm and you're already so drunk that you can't even stand up straight.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!

Do you think I actually like being with you when you guzzle down alcohol every night?

This is getting tiring.

You have got to be the worst boyfriend that I have ever had in my entire life.

There goes two years down the shitter.

I want to go home.

P.S. If I had a Death Note, your name would be the first to go in it. -_-

dear "best" friend,

you know i love you to death, really. but please stop talking to mike. i know you're hurt about everything and not being together anymore, but now you're hurting me by constantly texting him and calling him. i can't tell you how much i love him, let alone that i love him at all. that'd be terribly mean and just overall rude to do that to you, to hurt you like that. so please stop hurting me. i love him, and it makes me insecure to know that you, his ex-girlfriend, is constantly texting him. i don't want to loose one of the best things i've ever had.

- me

dear mike,

your solo was amazing tonight, i loved it. i'm very proud of you too.

smile!

- your love

Dear Parents of Friends,
Why do you disapprove of my mother? Why do you not let your children, my friends, stay the night at me house? My mother hasn't been anything but kind and respectful and fucking courteous, and you all treat her like shit. Is it the way she looks? I know it's not her race, she's hispanic like most of you, so don't give me that bullshit. Is it how she laughs at a lot of things? What, tell me. You're not setting a very good example for your kids, they might start thinking it's ok to treat people like shit, too.

Dear Friend,
Do you really not think? Do you not fucking plan things, even to a certain extent? You're going to get yourself in a ton of trouble, and for once, I'm going to be the one saying, "I told you so".

Dear New Job:
Thank you for allowing me to have you.
You're going to open up a lot of opportunities for me
& I really cant think of any where else I'd rather work.
Love, your appreciative employee.

Dear You.
Thank you for taking the time to talk to me, even though
you were very hesitant & scared. This last weekend was alot of
fun, & although I know I had a huge part in it, because I took the first step,
you could've turned me away, simply because I hurt you.
but you didnt, & I'll forever be thankful for it.
Good luck in Colorado =)
Love, Me.


Dear New Boy.
Please be everything I hope you are.
& please like me.
Love, your new love interest.

Dear You,
So much has changed since this time last year. Sure we were best friends, spent almost every weekend together and we did that for a lot of this year too, until lately. I haven't seen you at all except for the two classes I have with you. And honestly, that sucks. I wish we could just be us again. Just you and me, no one else. Just hanging out, not talking about boyfriends, just being online for hours, going to the beach, spending holidays with each others families, and laughing about the dumbest stuff. I miss that so much. More than you know. And you said you miss hanging out with me, so lets just do it. Just you and me, no one else. Just like it used to be. I do love him. He's great and perfect for you, and I really am glad that you're finally entirely happy. But I miss it just being me and you. Him not playing a role in any part. And I know he drives you everywhere you need to get to, but it just feels like whenever we talk, its always about him. So can we change the subject?
I love you, you know I do. You're an amazing girl with a great head on her shoulders who has become so strong over the past couple years. You have changed so much and become such a better person. And I know we fight, but everything mean I've ever said, I hope you know that I never meant any of it, and that I was just mad. I would never say half the stuff about you. I love you. We've been best friends for four years. I wrote you a letter and I didn't even write Sonia one. I can't wait to be friends for the rest of our lives. I can't wait to be at eachother's weddings and meet eachothers children. If we can be friends through high school and deal with everythnig the universe has thrown at us and still come out the best of friends, then we will be friends. We're more like family now, it's kinda crazy. I look up to you so much, which is weird because I'm older than you, but still. You have taught me so much. I love you Mairead.

Colie

dear Facebook,
i'm afraid to add my former dance teacher as a friend.
am i a bad person? i never really liked her and she was kind of bitch for those 9 years i was dancing.
it figures that i'd rather not know her in my real life now that i've been done with dance for like 5 years.
whatever,
me

dear Saturday,
don't suck. make something amazing happen.
needs a miracle,
me

dear boy,
it feels strange even giving you a name in these dearyous. you're becoming less and less to me, but something's different. i feel like i'm seeing something that i wasnt seeing before.
-girl

dear school,
please end.

Dear You,

You're giving me this great feeling I haven't felt since last year when I thought that other boy was my world, my whole purpose to go to school. Problem is, I don't know how to talk to you. And I think you really do like her insetad. She's sweet and everything, but I wish you'd notice the girl by your locker more.

Sincerely,
Me

Some Cute Thing I Did for a Girl:
