But time moves all of us along, and
you are over there and we are over here, but even we
do not exist as we had then.

Anyway

Mood: Annoyed >:(
Music: Kill Paradise - Fall From A Star

Got this off someone's blog.

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.

I've learned that no matter how much I care some people just don't care back.

I've learned that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.

I've learned that it's not what you have in your life, but whom you have in your life that counts.

I've learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I've learned that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I've learned that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you’ve celebrated.

I've learned that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

I've learned that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I've learned that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And, just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

I’ve learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn’t stop for your grief.

I’ve learned that no matter how you try to protect your children, they will eventually get hurt, and you will hurt in the process.

I've learned that you should never tell a child their dreams are unlikely or outlandish. Few things are more humiliating, and what a tragedy it would be if they believed it.

I've learned that heroes are people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I’ve learned that you can keep going long after you can’t.

I need to believe that last quote. I feel like I'm burning out. And everything I want to say just comes out one sentence by one sentence. Five minutes at a time. So once I hit the "publish" button I realise that there is something else I want to say but I can't be bothered to anymore. Hmmm.

And so what if Chelsea lost? It doesnt give you the right you tell me "go and die" and to take it out on me after the match thanks.

Different

Mood: Reflective
Music: Our Lady Peace - Innocent

"Don't laugh: what I miss most is talking to you. I imagine running into you in a busy market, even though I don't go to the market. And we decide to have lunch and we talk over margaritas; and then we walk back to where you are staying and we talk some more, and we talk in the hotel lobby and we keep talking until the moon is high in the sky and the bellhops change shifts and the night manager kicks us out.
I want to talk to you, but I don't have the slightest idea what we would have to say."
Jodi Picoult, Mercy
--
Look. Isn't that you favourite seat in the bus?
Look, Isn't that your favourite dish on the menu?
Listen, Isn't that you favourite song on the radio?
Listen. Can you hear the beat of my heart?

Yes, Yes, Yes, No. There isn't any sound.
--
She said,"No one knows me like you. Like dance partners, our steps would move in perfect sync. Like telepathy, you could read my thoughts just by looking into my eyes. And I wonder if that's a good or bad thing. Because we never seem to talk anymore. No one knew me better than you did. No one knew me inside out. And most of all, no one loved me like the way you did."

And she asks herself, would she give up everything for one year ago? And she thought to herself it was such a silly question. She definitely would. Suddenly a voice in her head said,"Even your soul?" and she thought about it, and thought about it so hard she started to cry, before saying to herself more than to anyone,"I don't know."

Thoughts

Mood: Thoughtful
Music: Jason Mraz - Prettiest Friend

I just have a feeling my actions are going against all my words and thoughts. And I'm doing things I never thought I would do, and things I never wanted myself to do. Something is wrong with me I swear.

"Could you wipe out your misdeeds with good intentions, like an abacus working in reverse?"
-Jodi Picoult, The Tenth Circle

No, I don't think so. At least, not when my good intentions just keep leading me to do the most inane things ever.

"Of course, I didn't know this for a fact, but I often liked to imagine that somewhere out there existed a parallel universe where things had turned out okay"
Mike Gayles, My Legendary Girlfriend

I like to imagine that too, you know.

"Have you ever really held the hand of someone you love? Not just in passing, a loose pink between you -- but truly clasped, with the pulses of your wrists beating together and your fingers mapping the knuckles and nails like a cartographer learning a country by heart?"
Jodi Picoult, The Tenth Circle

It was nothing to you wasn't it? Nothing.

Mood: Full :I
Music: Cobra Starship - The Ballad Of Big Poppa And Diamond Girl

Someone once said "You can love someone without having to like them"
And Paramore once said "Always know that you shine brighter than anyone"

And you know who I'm referring to.

On another note. I just watched some piercing videos on Youtube and I've decided not to get my naval pierced anymore. It looks too pain! And we all know how afraid I am of needles heh. Nor am I going to get my double piercing, or tragus, or tongue. OUCH.

Mood: Thinkish
Music: Hosanna

"He spread his hand over his chest as the pain ebbed, dared, stopped. And was not really surprised to find that he could no longer feel the beat of his heart."

And maybe, that is what's happening to me. I think a lot (does this surprise you? haha) and I have all these nice phrases strung out in my head. And I can't wait to type it out so I can remember them. But then when I get on the computer, I just, forget. Haha.

School has been pretty quiet of sorts. There's always someone absent in school. I realise I can go a week without talking to my friends even if we see each other. Some friend I am huh. I am SO FAR BEHIND my studying I don't think I will do very well. To think that the very promise I made myself becomes the first promise I break in that aspect. That I will never allow myself to screw up the way you did because the last person I want to be like is YOU. I feel like a failure. But I guess that only goes to show what great God is, and how small I am. My motivation: If April Chye can do it, so can I.

It really sucks going for some lesson knowing you can't pay attention because you won't have any idea what the teacher is saying. So you do other work and feel unproductive.

But you know what sucks more? Going to class knowing there's a 100% chance the teacher will look at you like you're incapable of thinking, and having a 99% chance you'd get picked on. Thank goodness today was the 1%.

I feel like I am the most efficient time waster I've ever known. If I'd just maximise my time, I'd have so much more time to study and complete things. Here are the times that I could use for studying instead of doing some other unproductive shit stuff.

6:50-7:15 (25 minutes): Sleeping/chatting/stoning
7:35-7:40 (5 minutes): I could be filing up stuff so I save time when I study instead of talking to Yinger

In between lessons (10 mintues on average): Sleeping/ walking around/ go wash face
Recess: 40 minutes. THAT'S DAMN A LOT OF TIME?! And I do nonsense stuff. Great.
After school: I spend 40 minutes eating stuff I don't need and waste so much energy climbing up about 20 flights of steps.
(But I'm changing the last two already) :)

In the car: I could be revising the stuff I studied and talk to myself like a retard so I won't forget the things I've put into my sponge brain. And instead I choose to listen to Edward and try and recall lyrics of "Poppin Champagne" and other All Time Low songs.

10 minutes while waiting for the heater (it's solar powered, so it takes time to warm up) I could be reading my Bible and instead I choose to play around with my phone.
After I bathe I spend so long stoning when I could be trimming my toenails (haha I have no idea why they grow so fast)

Before dinner I choose to do everything but study. Sigh.
I will post a picture so that people are more attracted to it than my useless ranting.

Really?

Oooh One Tree Hill!

Mood: Excited :)
Music: 30 Seconds To Mars - R-Evolve

Hello world! One Tree Hill makes people turn emo. Look!

We'll figure something out.
As long as we're together. .
That's all that matters.

Dan - I just wanna be here for you. I nkow I wasn't before but I don't want you to have to raise another child alone.
Karen - I wasn't alone. I had Keith.

the hardest days are the longest . .

Haley - It's okay. It's all gonna be okay.
Nathan - No, today for the first time in a long time it doesn't feel like anything's gonna be okay.

that seems like another life ago <3

Lucas - It's pretty cool though. It's like a little part of him's coming back to us.
Karen - He did a good job with you.

You ever look at a picture of yourself and see a stranger in the background? Makes you wonder how many strangers have pictures of you. How many moments of other people's lives have we been in? Were we part of someone's life when their dream came true? Or were we there when their dreams died? Did we keep trying to get in as if we were somehow destined to be there? Or did the shock take us by surprise? Just think. You could be a big part of someone else's life and not even know it.

Brooke - You were looking through my drawers?
Rachel - I was looking for condoms. Something you should've probably been doing.

You can't hide from life.
Eventually you've gotta live it.

Your problems are my problems. We'll figure this out together. And you're wrong. You're my hero.

Haley - Why didn't you tell me?
Nathan - I thought it would go away. I thought basketball would fix it. But it didn't.

Omg how sweet! I just love Nathan And Haley<33

Today is angela's birthday! Im screwed cos I have nothing for her. :(
