yeah, basically.

My awesomeness may be perceived as arrogance and immaturity as well as obnoxious loudness.

I'm looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love. And I don't think that love is here in this expensive suite in this lovely hotel in Paris.

DOES THIS MEAN I HAVE A DATE FOR PROM WITH A MARINE?!?!?!


maybe

The University of Chicago



Mom said that it is hard to understand sometimes why some things DIDN'T happen... and that the reason WHY they didn't happen was for the best in the end.

L'ottimo fine, as Pangloss said

which may bring hope?
I don't know.
I am hungry though.

I found it.
The dress...

It's calling to me... it's telling me "we are for each other, and you know it."

Chris and Jess a@ 16 years of age...


@ 16...

It is ever so pretty... not.

I've been sick the whole day. It sucks. I had to break my "fast" and ate pizza as it was like the only hot food besides chicken soup, soymilk, tea and bread I could have. They were from Domino's, and believe me when I say that I think once Lent is over, pizza is going to be like meat. I will seldom eat it.

Rebecca has been calling to hang out. I had to kinda blow her off. First because of my spring sickness (Was it not enough during the fucking winter?!), and 2nd, because I am apprehensive about spending money. I have an orthodontist appointment on the 28th, and that is goign to be $300 out of my pocket. Not to mention, on friday I have to pay my gym and soccer dues. I think I am going to have to reschedule with my doc until the 2nd week of april to get the x-rays done. In that way, I can ever pay my mom my appartment dues, and send Andrea, Eugenia and Evelin the stuff I bought them to ES.

I have little to look forward to in the next weeks. The only thing that excites me is the last soccer season. I just want to play, kick the ball and forget shit happening in my life. It is a good feeling. I am too tired to think, and thus I relax. Once I am relaxed, I actually look at the shit in a new perspective. Well, at least this was the case last spring.

Today it rained a lot. I took a 1-hr walk by the Swanson Creek. It was nice. This is one of my favorite places if not my favorite. I biked with Emma there, I had a picnic with Jen there, I celebrated Rose's 17th bday there with the gang, I took Liza there and talked about guys, and I also went there to reflect on life... like today.

A hundred memories rushed to my brain. Mostly of middle school, and of Home. Not ES, but of VA. I am a Virginian, and I love this place. I love DC, I love my home, I loved Swanson, and I loved... the stories of American History by the Potomac and James River... stories of Jefferson, Washington, Madison, Hamilton, Pocahontas, John Smith, of the Custer-Lee, of John F. Kennedy, of Abe Lincoln, and Arlington House.

It was so rainy today, and I thought of Pocahontas' song (yes, the Disney one)... the one "just around the river bend... I looked once more, just around the river, beyond the shore, somewhere past the sea... I wish I knew." It was almost as rainy as when we visited Jefferson's house when we were 12. Again, I wonder what life has in store for me. What college I will go, and what the price of that will be... be it money or something far more valuable.

I think back to Emma, to Javier, to Mrs. Firling, Mr. Hart, Mr. Kaldahl, Rose, Wiedemann, Obetts, Matt, to the Tessiers, David, Christine, Barrueta, Schollaert, Mrs. Robertson, Nagi, Marco, Mario, Mo, Noe, Daisy, Ariel, Yasin, etc, etc,

These people have, at some point, been part of my life. Then there came a time to let them go... because they came, they saw, they conquered, and they left. From each, I learned something that has made me who I am. Each has come, like the molecules in the creek that momentarily touched my hand and went on their way... it is so weird to think them gone sometimes. To think there will be more I will have to let of along the course of my life... hurts.

These people are only the beginning, I feel.
One day I will have to say good-bye to my sister, my mother, my grandma, my aunt... my birds.

It is weird.
To think this.
If not them, then me.

It is like Life loans you amazing people for a specific amount of time, and then takes them away so that others may meet them. I don't know... at least, this is how it feels right now. Here. In my chest.

If I never knew you
If i never felt this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be

And if I never held you
I would never have a clue
How at last I'd find in you
The missing part of me.

Tonight I washed the finale with my sister.
I am very satisfied with the ending, I must say.

There are many things to ponder on. You know, some people say FRIENDS wasn't a good show; others say that FRIENDS did not portray NYC was it really is. I say to all of them Screw you! Friends was not a show about Real Life in New York, or about something deep like other series. It was about Friends on their way to adulthood. There is something to appreacite in that.

I am only 18, and I am soon enough going to start college. After that, I will get a job. Hopefully somewhere along the way I am going to get married and have babies. Javier always used to say that I should enjoy being a teenager, and Mo told me once that I should never live life "waiting." I should enjoy every minute of it and never regret a thing.

High school is coming to an end. There are many things I said, and things I didn't say. There are many things I did, and others I didn't. There are people I met, got closed to and became friends with. There are others from who I grew apart. It was a whole era of its own... High school. There are so many things I learned, so many thoughts that went through my head. I regret not having exploited my LJ more to record as much as I could have.

Now with FRIENDS... I was never a fan of the show until high school in fact. HS started in 2004, the year FRIENDS ended. Anna gave me my first FRIENDS DVD for x-mas, and after that I bought the 8th season (I think) and the 2nd. My sister and I spent x-mas break staying up all night watching the doings of Chandler, MOnica, Ross, Rachel, Joey and Phoebe. We laughed like madwomen. They were good times.

As high school moved along, I started to collect them. I was ever so eager to finish every season and reach the end. In a similar way, I have also been eager to finish high school and reach the end. We take the middle of the story for granted. Once we reach the end, the end doesn't matter. What matters is how we got to the end.

Ross and Rachel ended up together, but they went through a roller-coaster of events for that.
Chandler and Monica got married and had kids. Again, they went through a roller-coaster of events for that to happen.
Same with Phoebe.
Joey... is Joey... more on him later.

In the end, (maybe except for Joey), they all grew up. Although they had a relatively happy ending, they were all nostalgic about what they were leaving behind. I wonder if that is how I will feel when HS is over. There are only a thousand memories of that place - good and bad. We will move on to the next thing.

Whatever the next thing is, I don't know what the future holds. Just like HP, I can't imagine my life after HS. I can't imagine HP after Hogwarts (the prologue sucked, as we all know).

There are exactly 16 days for decision letters to arrive.
They hold my future.... whatever is next.

Wiedemann said that there was still time to "play" and that I was still a kid, and it was my right. I agree. I have to say taht my teenagehood was pretty good overall. Just liek HP, and Friends.

The end for HP came last summer
the end of Friends was tonight
and the end of HS will be on June 19.

We'll see what is next.
I hope it's just as good as the last three.

19 days!!!
