Holly Wood Died

I think I love this boy...But I don't think he loves me back. He talked to me today for the first time in a long time. It was niceish. If he would've hugged me, that would've been wayy better...

I've kind of given up on being with the other guy. He just doesn't seem to like me or even know that I exist. My youth advisers say I'm looking for love in all the wrong places. Maybe they're right...

I love being single, but I hate not being with someone. Wow...That makes no sense at all...

I made a big mistake today. I really wish I hadn't gone to lunch with the seniors today. I really wish I had just stayed in the class. I feel really bad...I really hope I didn't get in troube...

Will You Be My Wings?

Why doesn't he want me? I'm cute. I'm funny. I'm smart. Why dosen't he want me? He's probaly really stupid or something. At least that's what my dad says...I don't know. Maybe he's not right for me. But I feel so good when I'm around him. Like, I'm in a happy little bubble and the only way it pops is when he walks away. I don't see him as often as I would like, and that really sucks. At least he used the picture I took of him as his facebook profile picture...

True Loves First Kiss

I wrote this so please please please don't steal it!!


"I love you!" I screamed at Alex as he walked away from me in the parking garage. My words echoed and bounced around the empty garage. He turned slightly. Tears were rolling down my cheeks.

"You what?" He asked, walking back towards me. His face was hard, and I was afraid to answer him.

"I...I love you," I half whispered. I choked back a sob as he backed me into a corner. My legs were shaking and I almost fell to the ground. Supporting myself against the wall, I mustered up the courage to look up at him. I looked straight into his dark brown eyes and proclaimed my love for him once more. He raised his hand up. I ducked, thinking he was going to hit me. But instead of a slap, I felt him caress my cheek, wiping away the tears that were still streaming down my face.

"Elizabeth, you are my only one. I could never live without you," Alex said, his face hovering just inches above my own.Alex's once hard face was now soft and his eyes sparkled as he looked down at me. My chest was heaving, I had no idea what to do. He closed the gap between us, invoking true loves first kiss.


I might add more, but I don't know. Please comment if you like it, I would really like from feedback.

Why is it that everytime I get intrested in a guy, the guy either has a girlfriend or doesn't like me at all. The only time that hasn't happned is kinda sorta right now, because I haven't told anyone about him. He's a really great guy, but he's just going though a lot right now. The other guy I think I like I'm pretty sure has a girlfriend. He's really cool too. I'm gonna see Girlfriend Guy tomorrow at church, and I'll see the other one at school and we're gonna hang out next weekend. I'm stoked about that. But...I don't know. I guess I'm just really lonely and I just want to be with someone...

My Deathbed

Geez. It's Saturday night and I'm home....again. Man. When am I gonna get my act together and get myself a guy to be with on Saturday nights. That's like, one of the reasons I want to get back into a relationship. But I don't wanna get hurt again. I've been hurt too many times and I don't want it to happen again. Maybe I'll start hanging out with the kids from youth group. They're nicer to me than half the kids at school. I'm only buying gifts for 3 of my friends this year. Last year, it was like, 12. What has happened to me???

Be Kind To People

These Walls

Ok. So I'm almost positive that I didn't make the show, even though I had a kick-ass audition. Not getting called back just made my whole day suck. Not seeing my name on a stupid piece of paper ruined my day. Is there something wrong with me? Do people not like me in the drama department? I worked so hard at my audition. I put everything into it. It was me and one other person who were pacing back and forth, practicing. He got called back. Why didn't I????? I feel like I'm about to cry. But it's not just the fact that I'm not in the play. It's the fact that I may not be getting anything for Christmas, because all I want is an acoustic guitar. And from the looks of my dad, I'm not getting one. Sure I'll get a gift card from my grandma and Cd's from my brother, but...I don't want those. I want my acoustic guitar.

Be Kind To People

Oh Gillian

So I auditioned for a play yesterday and I think it went pretty well. Aside from the fact that I was nervous. I really want to get into this show. I mean, I miss being on stage so much. But I also know that there are other people in the drama department and want this just as bad as I do and if they get in, they deserve it. Josh said I got the right idea by saying that. I hope he's right. I won't be too sad if I don't get in, cause I'm already in ITS. I found out yesterday that I have 12 ITS points and I need 10 to get in. Some people in the drama deparment don't think I should be in it because I'm not a good actress. Well, that's just what one person thinks, and I'm not gonna let that bring me down. I don't know if I even want to go into theatre, I just want to write. I'll write scripts. But Jesus, if anyone knew what I had locked up inside of me, I'd be a star.

Uncle Bills

Ok, in the past week, I've gone to Uncle Bills three times. It's not a bad place, they do have good food there. I just don't want to become a regular there, ya know? I think I will end up being one, just because it's a cheap place to eat. Man...I need a job so I can eat better...ish.

ONLY 1 MONTH TILL CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!

Sorry...

The Circle Game

I just realised something. The only friends I have, are Steph and Phil. Mostly Phil, cause he's the one I see the most. Which is weird cause he doesn't even go to school with me. Oh well. I think I'm gonna go with him to this thing at the Y just so I can meet new people. That should be fun. I love hanging out with Phil, even if I do lose in bididdle when I play with him. lol.


Be Kind To People, not just your friends.

Tofurky

Things I'm Thankful For:

1. My brothers, Ryan and Todd. Without them, I think I wouldn't have turned out so bizarre, but that's what makes me me.

2. My friends, Phil, Steph and Ben. I love them with all my heart and I would do anything for them.

3. My parents, Jim and Barb. They may not be the most supportive parents, but they're still there for me if I need them.

4. Food and a home. Not many people can go to bed at night with a full stomach or even sleep in a home. I'm so thankful that I am so privileged that I can have these things, and help those who don't.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wow

It's not even 11, and I've managed to upset my mom. Like she's never said hurtful things to me before.

Thanksgiving Eve

I really wish I had more friends. But I have a lot of friends, just friends that don't hang out with me. I mean, there's nothing wrong with me....right? I know I've been bitching about this a lot, but going out there and trying to make friends doesn't help me. God. I wish Steph and Ben would answer their phones once in a while. That would make my life so much easier.

Fish Club?

Ok. So, I got invited to go to the Jesus club at my school. I kninda wanna go, but then again...I don't. They won't tolerate my beliefs there. They'll think I'm from a cult or something just because I'm a UU. Oh, well. I think I'll just go anyway just to see what it's all about.

Hmmm

After reading the To-Do List blog, I figured I should make a list of things that I would like to do before the end of this year. Yeesh. That's only like, 2 months. Make that the end of 2008. Ok, Here it goes.

Bailey's List of Things To Do Before The End of 2008

1. Learn how to play one song on the bass.
2. Go to Chicago for Spring Break.
3. Make 5 new friends at Con and keep in touch with them.
4. Get my license.
5. Go to Geneva Illinois and see Chirs, Eric, and Dillon at least once over the summer.
6. Get a job
7. Finish writing my book.
8. Lose at least 10 pounds before junior year.
9. Find glass beads that can be used to make hemp necklaces/bracelets.
10. Go to at least 10 concerts/shows.

Wow! 10 things! I think I can handle that. I'm already going to a show on Sunday then I'm going to go see Ludo at the end of December, so that's 2 right there.

Ok, I can do this.

It's Red Again!

Ok, I was at Starbucks today to get a pick-me-up, and instead of the way they see it, they have ways to spread holiday cheer on their cups. The one I got made me happy, so I thought I'd share it!

Pass The Cheer...
A good way to pass the cheer when you're on the road is to pay the toll for the car behind you. Do this and you might start to look at stoplights as holiday lights instead. Red means stop and be thankful for a moment. Green means go out and do nice things!

You Don't Know What You Got Till It's Gone...

Man...I hate English but at the same time, I love it. I love having discussions in class, but I hate writing essays about nothing! I have one that's due tomorrow and I think I might explode if I don't get it done by 10 tonight.

Be Kind To People

OH!

I'm thinking about posting some of my stories on here, just to see if people like them. Let me know if you think I should!

It's Just Not The Same Since You Went Away...

Geez. A week ago, I was surround by people who love me and who actually cared about me. I was just on Facebook, and I saw all these pictures of my 'friends' having the time of their lives at Homecoming and on Halloween. Was I in any of those pictures?? Nope. One of my 'friends', Kerry, said that he's tried to call me to do stuff with all of them. You know what I told him? BULLSHIT! My real friends are hours away from me. My real friends are at my church. My real friends actually like me. My real friends don't think I'm too headstrong and talk too much. My friend Chris said this after seeing my video I posted on YouTube about how much I miss him and other people. "I miss you too, if the next time I see you is tomorrow, that's still too long, but at least we can still talk to each other via the marvels of the internet." Chris is amazing and I miss him a lot. Same with Eric and Dillon. Only 145 days till I get to see them all again...

Be Kind To People

There's nothing wrong with me...right?

I miss everyone so much. No one at my school likes me, which really sucks. Everyone that I had made a connection with at Con is like, 5 hours away. I feel like the only place where I feel like I belong is at church and at Con cause I don't have to put a face on and I don't have to act a certin way. I can just be my self and I know nothing will happen and no one will look at me like I'm a feak. I can not wash my hair and not wear makeup for a weekend, and no one is gonna care. I didn't wear make up today, just because I didn't really feel like it. I honestly think that I won't be in a serious relationship until I'm in my 30s just because people don't like me. If I were to act myself, I would have less friends then I already do.

I think I'm gonna do some yoga later, that'll help me...I hope...

Be Kind To People

When I Watch You...

*sigh*
Yesterday kinda sucked...expect for the fact that Dillon called me!!! OMG. I miss him soo much. He called to tell me that he hasn't forgotten about me and I thought that was really sweet. I'm gonna call him tonight. I told him that he needs to come down here and see my new hair cause I just got it cut. I'll probaly see him, hopefully, in March. If not, it'll be in April. I'm not so sure if I can do that...

Man...I think I got the 'Con Cold'. But this feels more like a fever or a sore thoat, not a cold. I feel like total shit. My thoat is burning and my head is warm. Does anybody know what's going on with me???


Be Kind To People

You're Awful, I Love You

God. I'm missing Con like no other. I'm aching to see everyone again, but that won't be till next April. The first weekend of April to be exact. I hate feeling like this. It sucks cause I'm stressed from school and the play, even though I'm not in it. I miss everyone so much and it sucks cause some of them don't have Facebook so it's not like I can go and talk to them on it. Most of the people that really touched my life live 5 hours away, so it's not like I can drive up there to see them whenever I want.

I'm in such a Dashboard mood from this. I feel asleep listening to them yesterday. It was the only thing that would help me cope with having to leave everyone yesterday.

Only 150 days till the next Con. I think I can survive. At least, I hope I can survive...

CONtemplate

OMG! CON was amazing!!!

I had the best time this weekend. Not only did I get to meet some amazing people, I also gave back to my community. Man. I can't believe that 24 hours ago, I was cleaning up a garden so that little kids can grow stuff in the spring. It feels like it was so long ago that I walked to Forest Park and sat on the bridge, watching the leaves from the trees fall. I really wish Con could've been longer. 2ish days isn't enough time to get to know 200+ people. It wasn't even enough time to get to know the people in my touch group. I miss everyone already...

Bio Class Blues

School is meh.

I can't wait for lunch. That's my favorite part of the day. I just sit and relax while talking to some really cool people.

I can't wait for school to let out so I can go work on the set for Lost In Yonkers. I just have to paint doors and such.

I can't wait to go home so I can pack for CON! I'm not sure what I'll bring, but It'll be cute.

I can't wait for tomorrow, cause then I get to go to CON! I'm most exicted about seeing my friend who I haven't seen since March, even though he goes to my church.

I think I'll post my poem that I wrote about the last Con I went to. But I'll do that when I get home.

I am the shadow on the moon at night

OMG!
I love Halloween so much. I mean, it's the only day of the year where I don't look out of place. It's amazing. I love getting candy too. It's fun.

I'm a Go-Go Girl this year. The only bad thing about my outfit is that the back is really short so I'm wearing bike shorts on underneath this. I have to keep holding the back of it down too. Oh well. At least it's not like, a huge deal.

One of my friends is dressed as the Mayor of Halloween Town. It's pretty awesome. I was so happy when I saw him.

I swear I just felt my phone vibrate, but it's in my locker, so I don't know how this happened.

Anyway.....

I'm really exicted about handing out candy this year. All my friends are gonna be doing something else so It's not like I'm gonna miss out on anything. I'll have PlayRadioPlay! keep me company. They're really good too, so I'd check them out.

Down At The Harbor

So I'm going though my music today, and I thought I should share some of my favorites with you guys who read this. I'll include websites and how to listen to them.

1. Ludo. OMG. I freakin' love Ludo. Not just because they're from St. Louis, but because they're just so amazing. They can be serious or funny.

2. Josh Saxe. Not only is this guy only a sophmore in highschool, he's also freakin' amazing on guitar and vocals.
http://www.purevolume.com/joshsaxe

3. Say Anything. These guys are amazing. I love them so much and they're so upbeat and have good lyrics.
http://www.purevolume.com/sayanything.

4. Hollywood Undead. If you like rap, hip hop or punk rock, you'll like this band. They're so funny with their lyrics and they're hella good to dance too.
http://www.purevolume.com/hollywoodundead

5. Transition. Sure these guys are broken up, but they're still good. They're also really nice too. I just wish they hadn't broken up.

6. Sherwood. OMG. I love this band so much. They're on my Top 5 list for sure. Words cannot discribe this band and how much I love them.

Daddy's Little Defect

Ok, so this weekend, I was bonding with my dad like, the whole time. Last night, we went out to dinner together and just talked for like, 2 hours. Then tonight, we went to go see the 3D version of Nightmare Before Christmas. That alone was really cool. Tim Burton is a genious and is just really cool. My dad liked the movie and now he and my mom are talking about what she did while she was out of town. This is the first time this week I've felt content and relaxed. =]

Secound Chances

Why is it that anything a guy or a girl asks someone to go get coffee, it's really a date, but they both don't want to admit it? It's just like, a hanging out session. I just find that very odd. No matter how old you are, that always seems to be the first date type thing.

Here's an example:
Boy: Hey
Girl: Hey. What's up?
Boy: Nothing really. You?
Girl: Same.
Boy: Are you doing anything on Saturday?
Girl: No.
Boy: Wanna get coffee?
Girl: OK. Sounds great.
Boy: OK, meet you at Starbucks around 2?
Girl: OK. See you then.


How lame is that?? The boy CLEARLY asked the girl on a date, so why not just call it one? I don't know. Boys are complex creatures who must be studied for further development.

I Didn't Steal Your Chair

I'm exicted because Parkway dosen't block Blogger.com! So I can update during Newspaper class when I have nothing to do.

Apparently, people like how my hair looks today. Which is weird, because I wasn't too happy with it this morning and it took me FOREVER to do my hair. People like my shirt too, but that's good, because I LOVE my shirt. I got it at Dealia's on Sunday along with this really cute necklace for like, $3.

Leslie: Ok, so insted of 'call you later', say 'fax you later.' I didn't know people used faxes until like, 2 days ago.

I love you Leslie. You make Newspaper soo much fun!!

Ksusha wishes that we would switch over to the metric system, which I tottaly agree with. Our system is really messed up and I wish we would switch over to metric. It's so much simplier and easier to understand.

Sleep With All The Lights On

School was....meh. I feel totally drained emotionally and physically.

I hate having Bio first block, because then I put all my energy into what we're doing in Bio, and then I can't focus on anything else all day. Which is not good because all my mentally demanding classes are after Bio.

I shouldn't have stayed after for tech work today. That just made me feel even more tired. We were supposed to start painting today, but that didn't really happen. So not only did I do pretty much do nothing, which sucked, I sat around on the couch and got cat hair all over my shirt so now my dogs are going crazy.

I wish that new Dashboard shirt that I saw at Hot Topic was online, cause then I'd get it in a heartbeat.

I need new friends, like, bad.

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things...

I realised today while I was shopping with my friend, Ksusha, that I have a lot of favorite things. So, here is my list of favorite things...

1. Music. I love everything. But as of right now, I love Dashboard Confessional and I adore Ludo. Joni Mitchell is my idol though.

2. Writing. It's pretty much my passion. One day, you'll look back and say, I used to read her blog! I'll be famous one day, just wait. I'll probably post some of my stuff on here if I ever get around to it.

3. Cooking. I love cooking. It's so much fun to be able to eat something that you made. Plus it tastes better.

4. Shopping. I love clothes. Delia's is my favorite store ever. Their clothes look great on me, even if it does cost a little extra.

5. Acting. I love being on stage and being able to be a different person for a while. It's just an amazing feeling.

6. Crafts. I love making thing for my friends like scarfs and scrapbooks and jewelry. It's just so much fun!

7. Lacrosse. Come spring, lacrosse is my life. I'm already conditing for it right now so I'm in good shape once the season starts. I put all my heart and soul into this sport.

That's all I can think of now, but I'll think of more later.

Making History

Well, I guess this is it. The beginning of my blog. I'll keep updates on my life, like CD's I like, what movie I just saw, stuff like that.

So the new Dashboard Confessional album came out a few weeks ago. It's really good, but that's just what I think. I'm writing an article about it for my school's paper. Some of the songs are kinda weak, but then again, Dashboard is emo.

I was supposed to see Across the Universe today, but my friend couldn't go. I wasn't too upset cause we're gonna see the 3D version of Nightmare Before Christmas next week. That'll be soo amazing. I can't wait.

But the most amazing thing happened today. LUDO finally posted the date for their Christmas show! December 27th!! I will be going to that. I cannot wait. It's only, like, 2 days before my brother is supposed to get married, but that's not gonna be a problem.

Remember to be kind to be kind to people.
