It Automatically Becomes My Business When It's on My Facebook News Feed.
Typical status of a person who just caught doing something stupid and everyone heard about it: "Like, OMFG stay out of my business!"
Well, when your previous status went a little like this, "Like, I totally just got suspended for drinking at a high school dance. Dumb bitches who snitched, karma's gonna getcha!", it's hard to take you seriously.
Karma is going to get them? I do believe karma already got YOU for making the completely idiotic decision to show up at a school sanctioned danced TOTALLY WASTED. How can you honestly expect to make a public spectacle of yourself and not have repurcussions?
If you were just buzzed, whatever. I honesty am passed the whole drinking-is-the-devil thing. But when you blatently broadcast yourself by falling off stages, falling off toilets, lifting up your dress, and all but having sex with your dance partner out on the floor, you've taken it too far. There is no way that is okay and would not be reported.
Sure, I agree that snitches are dumb and really didn't need to say anything, but SERIOUSLY? You don't think the chaperones coudn't tell?
Though this whole situation is just ridiculous, I feel like the saddest part is the fact that our entire student body is so accustomed to this kind of outandish behavior that we're more surprised when people get caught, more outraged over fair punishments, than when it goes unnoticed. This is what this high school has come to. Glorifying those who make public fools of themselves, while scorning those with good judgment.
What The Actual Fuck.
Yes. I swore. No, I don't regret it. It's my form of rebellion. Personally, I feel like it's less destructive than anything else I could've chosen.

And The Story Goes On...
Disappointment= Your current 1st choice college sending you indication that you've been awarded a full ride... then getting an email saying you got the second highest scholarship.
'Oh no sorry, we want you to come here, but just not that badly... yeah.'
Screw college. I just want to disco.

A Valentine's Day Hate Fest By Alex
Things that make sense to me:
(from www.someecards.com)
1. Just because you're alone this Valentine's Day doesn't make it any different that any other day in your life.
2. The only way I could be lonelier today is if the internet stopped working.
3. Hug a loner this Valentine's Day.
4. Tonight is the perfect night to troll the city for undatable alcoholics.
Spiteful Poetry: by Alex
1. Roses are red
Violets are blue
Sugar makes you diabetic
So fuck all of you
2. Blood runs red
Ink runs blue
You make me sick
Hence my green hue
3. You get all you want, you glutenous whore
I hate your guts, but your face even more
Perhaps you'll get lost, whilst in the forest deep
If you never come back, I shall not loose sleep
4. 'Today's the 14th', my calendar said to me
I said, 'It looks like Tuesday', nothing special did I see
'But see the happy couples walking round the square?'
Nay, but I did see pretty flames for I burnt him then and there
Happy Singles Awareness Day (SAD).

There's Something Incredibly Unfair About This Situation...
Here I sit. In MY basement. Drinking MY kool-aid. Covering up with MY blanket.
I am 17.
My sister is 13.
She has a 16-year old boyfriend.
Who is sitting with her in MY basement. Drinking MY kook-aid. On top of one of MY blankets.
She's 8th grade, he's 10th, I'm a senior.
Yes, that's kind of a lot of information to give out. I just want you to understand my predicament.
I'm bitter. Incredibly so. Nay, I'm livid. I'm completely, entirely angry at the crappy cards life has dealt me.
I'm being melodramatic, I know, but seriously!?!?!? Really!?!?!?!
Not long ago, I decided to lower my man standards. I decided I could date someone younger than myself.
Still, I've had no luck.
But my freakin' 8th grade sister gets an older boy. He's even cute and nice.
But I'd just decided people his age were in my options!
Why can't she stick with her own age pool!?!?
You may say I'm jealous. I'd agree.
I'm completely jealous. It just doesn't seem fair at all.
Honestly, my sister and I are incredibly similar. Almost the same personality (as told to us by our friends/acquaintances/family almost daily), people say we look alike, and I like to think we're both just really awesome.
The only difference? People like her.
Hence, the darn Repulsion Factor.
Yeah, I'm bringing that up again.
I'm just flabbergasted and confused. And upset. This sucks.
This post won't help whoever reads it with anything, give any advice, or even provide any decent entertainment. I just needed to get it off my chest.
Sorry, Alex. I'll be sure to start posting more optimistic things soon.

Lyrical Genius of the Day!
Do you ever hear a song and go, "Wow, that's exactly what I was thinking, I just didn't know I was thinking it, so I'm glad they put those words together in that fashion to perfectly explain the utter chaos that is my mind"? Maybe not. But I do.
So, here's Kristin's Lyrical Genius of the Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sleeping In- The Postal Service
Sometimes I just love the simplicity of songs... Like this one. You don't have to think into it, it is what it is. "Everything is exactly how it seems".
The Global Warming verse is my favorite. It's one of those things I wish were true...
Last week I had the strangest dream
Where everything was exactly how it seemed
Where there was never any mystery of who shot John F. Kennedy
It was just a man with something to prove
Slightly bored and severely confused
He steadied his rifle with his target in the center
And became famous on that day in November
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in
Again last night I had that strange dream
Where everything was exactly how it seemed
Where concerns about the world getting warmer
The people thought they were just being rewarded
For treating others as they'd like to be treated
For obeying stop signs and curing diseases
For mailing letters with the address of the sender
Now we can swim any day in November
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping
(now we can swim any day in November)
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in
Where everything was exactly how it seemed
Where there was never any mystery of who shot John F. Kennedy
It was just a man with something to prove
Slightly bored and severely confused
He steadied his rifle with his target in the center
And became famous on that day in November
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in
Again last night I had that strange dream
Where everything was exactly how it seemed
Where concerns about the world getting warmer
The people thought they were just being rewarded
For treating others as they'd like to be treated
For obeying stop signs and curing diseases
For mailing letters with the address of the sender
Now we can swim any day in November
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping
(now we can swim any day in November)
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in
Seriously, why can't everything be this simple? Pretty much my ideal world... Plus, I would like my family to stop waking me up when I clearly wish to sleep in...
