Malarie's Mission
I do have minor reports on the dating front though. RK and JS want to set me up with HW, who I met at KG party in September and I'm up for it cuz I think I should put myself out there. It will probably fall through like most set ups do but whatever.
Anyway, crush girl hugged me on Monday although I do have to admit my feelings toward her are waining.
Well that's about it.

Stale Laughter Fake Smile Soup
Anyway, my friends and I recently started an online tv series (our second, if you can believe it) and I'm in charge of editing. I love it. Firing up final cut and turning our crap into something watchable is so rewarding. When I was working on the documentary, I hated editing but that may have been because I was working with two people who didn't allow me to have any input. I love marine biology but I fear that I may gravitate more towards multimedia in college.
Not much else is going on in my life. 18 days until I'm 18. I'm still single and hating it. It's even worse now that Janet has a girlfriend. I am over her but the fact that when I liked her she was so anti-relationship and now has found a girl to challenge that kinda stings. But whatever, I've got crush girl to keep me occupied.

No Surprise
I feel really bad for RK though because she got wait listed for her top choice. I automatically assumed she would get in despite some drops in her grades over the past few years. I really hope she does get in. I don' t want her to be forced to go to a school she doesn't like.
Anyway, on Friday there was major drama involving SB and basically everyone got really really pissed off at her but it was remedied on Saturday when a few of us hung out sans SB.
I should get some rest. I need to get unsick.

It's Been Years
I learned that RK is the best person to hang out with on a Saturday afternoon if want to drink coffee, walk around town, talk about everything, and play guitar. That was probably one of the best Saturdays in a while.
I went out west to Washington for Thanksgiving with my stepmom and I met some of her family. They were all really nice to me. I checked out University of Washington with her great nephew. It was nice but too big for me so I'm no longer apply. Washington was so beautiful. I really want to go back and visit. If I get into Lewis and Clark then maybe I will.
Crush girl and I are working on an English project together with our mutual friend JS and a random girl who hasn't showed up for class in a couple of days. Crush girl loved my idea and got very excited about pulling it off correctly. Impressing her is defiantly progress of sorts, I guess.
That's about all that's gone on. College stuff is almost done and I'm so excited to have fun for the rest of my senior year.

Lights Out
So anyway, crush girl update: I've been trying to become friendlier with her and at this point we usually exchange playful banter about math homework and A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila before first period and high five each other randomly during school. I call that progress! Hopefully at one point high fives will evolve into make out sessions.
Oh shit, it's already ten and I have a ton of homework to do.
Goodnight

Waiting By The Wayside
Anyway, today I took the SAT for the second time and SB drove me and RM. I think I did pretty well. It felt a lot easier than it did the first time I took it. My mom is really hoping that I get a 700 on each section so I can get into Lewis and Clark.
After the SAT I've basically just been playing guitar all day. I love it so much. I can't wait until I get good enough to play in front of my friends.
Now I'm off to KG's house to watch her three second cameo on a TV show at models.

Streets
So besides the drama, Halloween was fun. I was finally allowed to dress up (only seniors are allowed to dress up at school) and it was awesome. I loved my costume and I love that AF didn't back out. SB threw a little party (like she does every year) and we all joked around (all though it was very awkward because three people no one is actually friends with were there). We walked around for a little bit and RM and I decided to get some candy which was pretty weird.
We bumped into crush girl and she told me she loved my wings. She looked really hot in the corset she was wearing and I was so obviously checking her out so I told RM that I thought crush girl was hot and RM was like "You don't want to date her though?" and I was like no and then she was like "But you want to hook up with her?" and I was like Oh yeah. She said it was fine and she wouldn't tell anyone and that she is convinced that crush girl is into girls because she was very touchy feeling with her when they were friends. Sweet!
Bleh, it's been two hours since I wrote this post. I guess I forgot to post it. Oops.

Math Won't Miss You
I have a track record with befriending people who don't really care about me but it kind of hurts knowing that I invested so much time in a friendship that she ruined because of her desire to be considered cool by a bunch of assholes.
Whatever, it's over. Our friendship was really over last October after the PSAT.
In more cheery news, I went into the city last night with JS, RM, and AF and we went shopping around Union Square. I got a couple t-shirts from a thrift shop, a cool hat from an outdoor market, and some Buffy comic books from Forbidden Planet. There was a little drama but it was all settled by the end of the night.
Anyway, my guitar came in the mail on Thursday and I haven't stopped practicing since. I really want to get good at it. I used to play guitar in sixth grade but I gave up because I thought it was too hard but there is no way I will give up on myself again.
Alright, I'm off to explore the universe.

Sleeping Motor Boy
So, I went to Portland this weekend and just got back a few hours ago. It's a really awesome city. I kinda really want to live there one day. Maybe after college. I really loved Lewis and Clark College and it has given me some doubt about whether I want to apply early decision to College of the Atlantic. I'll probably figure it out by December 1.
I'm very very happy that I'm finally done with looking at colleges for a month and I only have one left, University of Washington during Thanksgiving Break. Yes! I can finally be social again. I have been horribly deprived of contact with my buddies outside of school.
Anyway, crush update: On Friday, basically all of my friends were either on an Italian class trip or not in school so I started talking to crush girl and I found out a lot about her that I didn't know like that she has no clue what underground pop punk or american hardcore actually is (despite claiming to be a huge fan) but the fact that she thinks she likes that stuff makes me like her more.
On a more somber note, a few really shitty things happened this week. First, OiNK, an awesome bit torrent website was hijacked by Interpol (the police, not the band) and the owner was arrested.
Second, which I was really upset over almost all of yesterday, is that Lance Hahn, one of the greatest musicians in the modern pop punk movement, died on Sunday. I love J Church and Cringer and I think he was an amazing musician and I really can't believe he's dead. The lines "I don't believe in god above or the devil below/And I don't believe I'll need some proof before I go" from his song "Blasphemous" have been going through my head the past few days. God, I just with shit like this didn't happen to good people.
Sorry that this ended so somberly.

History Is History
Anyway, I think I may be crushing on someone but if my friends ever found out, they would freak out because many of them have a weird past with her. I don't really know her that well but lately I have been trying to become friendly with her because, despite my friends' issues, I think she's okay (and hot). I dunno what I'm gonna do about this weird crush thing. I'm not going to act on it because she identifies as straight (despite how much she sets off my gaydar) so it's not like my friends will ever find out.
Whatever.

Dreamt This Was A Castle
Anyway, last weekend I headed up to Maine with my mother to check out College of the Atlantic. IT WAS FREAKING AMAZING! I loved every little thing about it. Holy crap! Early decision for sure.
I also visit SUNY Genoseo on Saturday. Eh, it wasn't horrible but I'm excited about it or anything. There is a Tim Hortons in town though and they have the greatest donuts in existence (this is coming from someone who used to work at a donut and coffee chain).
Now I'm off to do something important, I guess.

Am I Missing Something
Anyway, I went to Florida for the weekend to visit my grandfather and look at University of Miami. I did not like the school at all. It has 16 frats an 13 sororities. Jesus Christ! Not my type of places. Although my brother thought it would be a good school for me. I could never live in that weather. I'm a sweatshirt and jeans type of girl.
Uh, in other news, I learned yesterday that SG has signed up with the Marines and is shipping out in July. I can't believe it. He is a really nice guy, and although he isn't that good at school, I think he should have considered something else. I really hope nothing happens to him.
Bleh, on a lighter note, I really want a girlfriend but there is no one who I would want to date (beside Janet but she's basically out of the picture at this point) and there isn''t really an abundance of lesbian/bisexual girls at my school. I guess I'll have fun with another year of singledom. At least I have my friends.
Alright, I'm off to be tutored.

Pocket Bomb
I also found out yesterday that Tofu misses being friends with RK and me, which I find very interesting because I always assumed she hated us as much as we despised her. Its her fault though. She shouldn't have taken us for granted and completely ignored us because some "cool" upperclass scenester wanted to be her friend. Now she has no friends and she has to deal with it. Her mom waved to me at the library today and that was kind of awkward but I bet she wishes that RK and I were still friends with Tofu because we are such a better influence than the losers she replaced us with.
In other news, my guidance counselor completely crushed all my dreams and hopes of going to college. She told me every single one of the schools (that other students from my high school have applied to) I am applying to are reach schools. Come on, SUNY Stony Brook is not a reach. Ugh, now she wants me to apply to Florida Institute of Technology. Ew. I'm not even gonna look at it when I go to Florida this weekend.
Uh anyway, tomorrow will be awesome. I'm going see Barack Obama speak at Washington Square Park. I've been kinda on the fence about who to vote for in the primaries (I can't believe I will be able to vote in the primaries next year!) and hopefully this will sway me one way or the other.
I'm so freaking hungry. Peace out.

Her Last Day
Anyway, I said before that PW has been annoying me lately but I hung out with her and the usual gang on Friday night and she told me she actually agreed with one of my points during our GSA argument. I also found out that everyone has been having a problem with SB lately, not just me. I'm very relieved.
Now I'm off to use el bano.

Half Fiction
PW has also been very annoying lately. She's been acting way too superior and shit. She may be extremely intelligent but she doesn't have to be so smug about it. Ugh, her take on the GSA kinda pissed me off too.
In more positive news, I got an A- on my first AP English paper of the year. I'm very proud of it too because it was about one of my favorite books, The Executioner's Song.
Anyway, I really want a girlfriend but I'm too shy to initiate anything with anyone although I believe a freshman girl may have a crush on me.
Uh, I really need to study for my AP Environmental test. Good Night

Torn Jeans
The weekend was kinda fun. I hung out with a lot of people, did a lot of fun and crazy stuff, quit my job, and finally bought a new pair of jeans after two years. Overall, this weekend was a success.
That's it for tonight. I have a hundred pages of Pride and Prejudice to read.

Half The Time
Anyway, tonight was so much fun. JS, AF, RM, and I went to IHOP for dinner then drove around for a while (and spotted a bitchy girl in our grade being pulled over). It was great. I love spending time with my friends although I'm starting to have some real issues with SB. She can be very annoying and in need of attention at all times. She can also be kinda condescending especially when I told her I was applying to Reed. She basically said I wasn't smart enough to get it. Whatever, I don't even want to go there. I want to go to College of the Atlantic. It seems so cool and I'm going to visit it in a few weeks.
It's so weird that in a year I'm gonna be in college. I was looking at pictures of my brother and me when we were little and I can't believe that we're getting older. I still feel like a six year old sometimes. Oh man.

The Sun Comes Up
Anyway, last night was pretty awesome. KG threw a birthday party and I got to see PH who is the coolest guy I know. I also got to meet the infamous HW who was just as excited to meet me as I was to meet her. Apparently RK hyped us up for each other. There was also this guy there who was kinda creepy and hit on me (despite being a total closet case and being aware of my orientation) and asked me if he could drive me home (Thankfully JS had already offered).
I kinda really bonded with PH last night, mostly over our gayness/lesbianess. We played the gay/lesbian stereotype game (kinda like this) and PH and I both failed (while closeted creepy guy passed with flying colors) because of his lack of knowledge of Margaret Cho and Barbara Streisand and my lack of flannel clothing and my knowledge of fashion. We also had a conversation about how there are no gay people in our towns and how hard it is to get a date and that led into a conversation about our exes and how stereotypically gay/lesbian they were (aka gay guys only wanting sex/lesbians wanting to get serious really fast). It was pretty cool being able to talk to someone about that kinda stuff.
So yeah, I gotta do some homework.

Anyway, in good news, last night was pretty awesome (although SZ and I got lost (which is pretty sad because I've been to the Knitting Factory a million times) and ended up on Christopher street but we did eventually get there). I'm so glad that SZ didn't have to cancel on me.
I have to go work on my AP Environmental project.

Clap and Cough
My step mom's friend and two kids from Italy are staying at my dad's house so both my room and the guest room are being occupied so I had to sleep on the couch in the family room where the TV is located and the two kids were watching Spy Kids.
I did get a third of my AP environmental project done and that's kinda good.
Anyway, work has been especially busy these past two days which is very surprising seeing as a Starbucks just opened up in town. I guess my workplace doesn't really cater to the same crow (but I do feel bad for the awesome little cafe in town that is like ten times better than Starbucks).
Speaking of my work, I know I said that I thought IM thinks I might be gay but now I don't because he hit on me yesterday at work when I told him I didn't have a boyfriend and wasn't looking for one. A guy who used to work at the same store as me (he now manages a different one) and would always hit on came in today with the former manager to say hi to everyone and he creeped me out. He told me I gained weight (as a joke, I think) and told me he loved me. Ugh, why can't I get hit on by girls ever?
I kinda really hate work but despite it I know I will be having fun this week because 1) I'm going to the Explosion's last show ever tomorrow night at the Knitting Factory 2) I don't have to come into work until 9 on Sunday and 3)After work my dad is having a labor day barbecue and my brother and one of my cousins and her boyfriend (and maybe my other cousin and her girlfriend) are coming up from the city.
Alrighty, I'm really tired so I'm gonna head off to sleep

Behind Curtain #
I know it's really weird but I love older women (like ten or twenty years older) and I always fantasize about being in a student/teacher relationship (especially with my 8th grade social studies teacher) despite the huge stigma that surrounds it. I'm 17 though! That's legal in New York! Maybe in college my dreams will come true.
Anyway, I really hope I'm hanging out with my friends today because it's my day off (though my boss called and wanted me to come into today) and school is starting soon, which reminds me that I should work on my AP summer projects.
Okay, peace out.

Tomorrow Will Be
So yeah, in other news, today was my last documentary class and despite the horrible critique my group got on our polished cut, I still had a really good time talking to everyone after class while we ate pizza and donuts (although E teased me horribly). I think I might actually miss the others.
The rest of the night was pretty boring. My mother and I had a late dinner at a Mexican cafe and had some pretty good conversations and then I came home and tried to make plans with Rebeka (now to be referred to as RM) and maybe JS, to go to NYC tomorrow and check out a hookah bar.
I'm tired and I need to get up early for SAT II tutoring. Goodnight

Successfully Delirious
Anyway, before I had a chance to hang out with my friends tonight I had to clean out my room at my dad's house because my step mom's friend and her two sons are coming to visit (meaning both my room and the guest room will be occupied so I will have to sleep on the couch in the family room). I also had to put in a new dresser (well my grandmother's old dresser that she gave me in May and my dad and I never got around to putting in) and move my desk so I was able to go through a lot of my old junk.
I've always known I was a pack rat but the contents of my old dresser were ridiculous even to me. I hadn't used it in several years because I'm lazy and just leave my clothing on a chair so almost every article of clothing was from middle school. After I finished that purge I was pretty much emotionally drained (it's a weird obsessive thing) and I realized I had to clean out the drawers in my desk which were filled with fast food restaurant toys that were at least five years old. I threw out almost everything except globe shaped yo-yo and a softball I found on the high school field when I was little. At that point I pretty much was ready to murder anyone in my immediate family, especially since I hadn't eaten anything since lunch (it was about 8:30 PM when I finished).
But after I ate dinner, my mom informed me of a phone call from KG and it completely changed my attitude about the night.
Oh and editing sucked. J was controlling, as usual and E was going crazy over little details (which isn't that usual).
I need to go to sleep.
-Suburban Bleach
All Too Often
I also have to edit the film today I am not looking forward to it. First off it's not even close to being finished and this will be the second to last editing session. Second E and J don't really include me in on the process and most of my ideas are shot down by J but then restated by E and accepted. I finally told them that I was upset and they made up a ton of lame excuses. I cannot wait until we are done.
Now I need to go back to sleep since I've been up since six.

Everybody, Everybody
So anyway, onto my life.
Janet left for college a few days ago and I can't stop thinking about her. Well, for the past year I haven't been able to stop thinking about her. I really fucked up. Even after Georgia and Rebeka devised several schemes that would almost certainly end up with Janet and I hooking up, nothing happened.
Argh!! Why couldn't I be more upfront about my feelings with her a year ago?! Why did I have to wait until the last two weeks before she left to let her know how I felt about her?!
I have never had feelings for someone for this long I really hope that her absence will help make them go away. Hopefully I'll meet a nice girl who'll take my mind off her. Not likely after a year dry spell.
Goodnight,
