I am DONE talking. I am not going to do it anymore. I am just going to listen. Thats what people want from me. They don't wanna hear what I think, or how I feel. I am just going to nod. I'm just going to agree with everything. I can't help but feeling like what I say isn't important. Ever. As a matter of fact. I just tried to talk to my mom. She cut me off to ask if I'd do something for her.
I give up on you guys. I expected better of you. Especially YOU. You've been there longer than most. I thought that you would have gotten past this by now. I suppose I knew that this was going to happen. I second guessed myself. One should always go with their first instinct. I'm just learning the hard way.
Other than that. I'm pretty happy with the way things are going. I'm excited for tomorrow. =)

Car Crash Scenarios
Some guy hit my grandma and I while we were pulling out of my driveway and it kind of made me think about the way people interact during confrontations. So, I'm going to start of the story with the accident, and you tell me which way to handle the situation is better.
Story:
You are pulling out of your driveway. You see a truck coming down the street and wait for it to pass before backing out. After the truck passes you start to leave the driveway. All of a sudden you feel a jerk and realize that you were just hit. You get out of your car to confront the other driver.
Scenario 1:
You are mad that this man had clearly not been paying attention, but decide to be civil. The man asks what had happen, and you tell him politely, noting that he is missing several teeth. He is obviously drunk and finds the ordeal very funny. You play along and deal with his ignorance while inspecting your car. It seems to be fine. You decide you should just let it go. Nothing had happened. You shake his hand and go about with your business.
Scenario 2:
You are mad that the man was stupid enough to not pay attention and to hit you. You get out of your car and walk up to the toothless driver. He finds the situation funny, but you set him straight and give him a piece of your mind. You look at your car and notice there is no damage, but are still mad that this drunk man had not been paying attention. You both yell at each other being very truthful about your opinions, and then go on your way.
Which is the right way to handle something like that? Do you act fake like in Sc. 1?? Do you let it slide because there wasn't any damage. Or do you be truthful and get angry? Perhaps he'll learn his lesson?

Ha =)
I need to learn to keep my mouth shut lol. How is it that I can keep other people's secrets, but I suck at keeping mine xP
Anyways. I'm still feeling pretty sore from the little pass out thing at Hip Hop yesterday.... but other than that things are looking pretty good. I'm happy.
Melissa's coming over tomorrow to make fuzzy locker magnets. I used to have three... but... I don't anymore, so we're making new ones to hold up pictures in our lockers. That way when she moves to Florida she'll have all of us right there on her locker door.
Oh Oh. I got some stuff from AE tonight =)
I can't wait till it gets here!! I need new clothes badd

Inspiration
I think I've been inspired. I know I really shouldn't have been; but I am. I want a life. I thought about it all night. Just... thats what I want. I at least need to try. I've always said I'd try almost anything once.
