I imagine, when I'm nearing 80 or so, I'll still be taking peace pictures in the mirror and riding in shopping carts. At least, I hope so.

Every time you cut, a little piece of my heart dies. Every time you fight, it's like you punched me right in the gut. Every time you talk to me, I want to run away and never come back.

We all have that one song that, right when we're ready to start World War 3, soothes the beast within. This song sends ecstacy running thorugh your veins and your heart slows down a little. You feel like your as free as a cloud and that there's nothing to worry about.You close your eye and embrace as the song holds you and warmly whispers "No one can harm you."

Dear 8th grade me,

You fucked up big time.

Sincerely yours,
10th grade me.

Today, Tyler was wearing a short sleeve shirt under a long sleeve shirt under a short sleeve shirt. Enough said.

Watching "Skins" at Rozelle's house is my new past time. And possibly roof dancing. Whoever it was that screamed Gretchen's name (or was possibly overcome by a chicken spirit) please come clean. WE ARE SEARCHING FOR YOU! But seriously, Sunday and Saturday were 2 of the best days I've had in a long time. From realizing everything in Gretchen's room is 3-D to Me, Crystal, and Rozzelle attacking Gretchen with our Cloak of Invisibility. Same thing next weekend guys?

One of the best conversations I've ever had about hair.

[21:15] SkllngtnXxx: JAXOB!
[21:15] SkllngtnXxx: JACOB!
[21:15] sandielm4: ARIEL!
[21:16] SkllngtnXxx: Sorry. I did not mean that one X. Purely accidental.
[21:16] sandielm4: Jaxob sounds kinda cool, i like it
[21:16] SkllngtnXxx: How would even say it though? Lol
[21:17] SkllngtnXxx: Would the X be silent?
[21:17] sandielm4: i think like jacksob
[21:17] SkllngtnXxx: Ha. You sound German or something Eurpoean.
[21:17] sandielm4: well people do say i look german
[21:18] SkllngtnXxx: Really? Hmm. I see you as more Like, Hawaiian or something.
[21:18] sandielm4: how so?
[21:18] sandielm4: im pale as well.. not hell
[21:20] SkllngtnXxx: Well, some Hawaiians can be pale. Like, my cousin had lived in Florida his whole life and is as pale as a ghost. It's weird.
[21:20] sandielm4: but how am i like that
[21:22] SkllngtnXxx: I don't know!! Gosh. It's just kinda what I see you like if you were foreign. Like, mostly it's your hair. Lol. Sorry I keep going back to this, but it's like that stereotypical surfer hair.
[21:22] SkllngtnXxx: And your deep voice.
[21:23] sandielm4: awesome literally everywhere i go one of three compliments come up "you have amazing hair!" "you're so big for [insert current age]!" "you look like you should be skateboarding or something!"
[21:24] SkllngtnXxx: Ha! That's fantastic! Do random people just say that?
[21:24] sandielm4: yes xD
[21:25] sandielm4: today we had pictures for our id tags incase we do something bad, and the photographer said the third one, and a few days ago my friends mom, whom i had never met before said the second
[21:26] SkllngtnXxx: Oh wow. Your a wanted man. Lol.
[21:27] sandielm4: it makes me feel really good about myself
[21:28] SkllngtnXxx: Yay! Happy Jacob! It's better than a coma Jacob Just messing with you. I can just imagine, if you ever cut your hair, like, an asteriod'll hit the earth and kill us all. Totally apocalyptic.
[21:29] sandielm4: well then we've been hit by an asteroid two or three times now
[21:29] sandielm4: but then again my hair was never this long
[21:30] SkllngtnXxx: And now, your hair will reflect the asteriods and all man-kind will be saved!
[21:32] sandielm4: hahaha, nice, i never knew these golden curls would be that important
[21:33] SkllngtnXxx: It's important to know what kind of supernatural power your hair posses.
[21:33] sandielm4: first being sexy, second being able to reflect an asteroid that should kill the human race
[21:36] SkllngtnXxx: Yes sir. That's it. So remember, you cut your hair, we all die. (gives evil eye)
[21:37] sandielm4: pssh id never cut my hair, i look more like a girl when i pull my hair back (and by assumption when it's short)
[21:39] SkllngtnXxx: I don't remember your hair short. You look like a medieval knight. It's really great. Next time we hang out, I will straighten your hair. I SWEAR ON MY....uh....I SWEAR ON MY CATS GRAVE I WILL!!!
[21:40] sandielm4: i have straightened it, i dont like it much
[21:40] sandielm4: though i anticipate the day i can flip my hair back off my forehead and have an actual mideval kinda look
[21:41] SkllngtnXxx: Ha. Like, a super slow-mo kinda think were your hair flips tenderly in the wind as your running down the beach or something. Your golden locks flowing in the wind. Just imagine that.
[21:41] sandielm4: i can be the white slash!
[21:42] SkllngtnXxx: White slash?
[21:42] sandielm4: slash, the guitarist
[21:43] SkllngtnXxx: Ah. I see. Oh my. His hair is ridiculous. Lol. I was thinking a blonder version of David Hasselhoff. But you know, a guitarist sounds more your type.Lol
[21:44] sandielm4: Actually, if you look up the bassist of velvet revolver, i think he has my hair but longer
[21:45] SkllngtnXxx: Is your hair seriously that curly?
[21:47] sandielm4: it's really curly, to the point that a few friends of mine enjoy sticking their fingers in each curl
[21:47] SkllngtnXxx: Sausage Curls! That's so cute!
[21:47] SkllngtnXxx: You beautiful curly man.
[21:48] sandielm4: i love how hair can be such a stimulating conversation topic
[21:50] SkllngtnXxx: What else are we to talk about? I mean, we're teenagers. All we really talk about anyway is balls and what we missed in math class.
[21:51] sandielm4: i got 104% on my last math quiz not as good as hair i must say
[21:51] SkllngtnXxx: Math <>
[21:52] sandielm4: but when combined, it allows me to be a hawt nerd
[21:52] sandielm4: i just said hawt, hehe
[21:53] SkllngtnXxx: Lol. Brains and beauty and your freaking tall. What a deadly combination.
[21:53] sandielm4: this positive thinking is making my self confidence selfdestructivly high
[21:55] SkllngtnXxx: Well Jacob, I'm not gonna sit here and bag on you. Gosh! Lol. And now that your all fired up and your hair is all curly and lovely...WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO NOW?!
[21:56] sandielm4: im gonna uhhhh..... talk to people using the suave i learned from jessica, abi, becca and logan and do it with loud confidence i learned from you!
[21:57] SkllngtnXxx: I have no clue who those random girls are or why you got smooth-talking lessons from them...But sounds like a plan! Lol. Go out there and show those girls that you fired up, your available, and yes, this is your real hair!
[21:59] sandielm4: HAHAHAHA, it wasnt really lessons, but practice, and i'll do that , i wish we could all combine our friends into one school so we knew who was talking about who
[22:01] SkllngtnXxx: Oh my god. Mass chaos would shortly follow. So, your getting smooth-talking practice with girls? Hmm. That's kinda hilarious. I mean, have you getten' any girls using it yet?
[22:02] sandielm4: no, i cant use social awkwardness as an excuse for a lack of relationships, its more of im too lazy
[22:04] SkllngtnXxx: Blah. But being lazy is a poor excuse as well. Some girls dig the super awkward guys. You gotta use what ya got to get what you want...if that makes sense. Be like, "Hey! My name is Jacob and I am an awkward teenage boy and my hair is fantastic!"

"Today is Pregnant"

Out of everything I've ever heard in my life, this struck a huge cord in my pattern. It's simple, it's profound, and from the best show since "Hey Arnold!"


~Rozzelle, you are a modern day philosophical genius.

Support the Arts!! (or the sweaty kids in trying to perform in it)

Well, my feet are tingling and my heart is racing, and yet, I've never felt better. I have a feeling that this show is gonna rock. Come out a see it at the end of the month. It's gonna shred.

When I listen to the freshman, i think back and ask myself "Were we like that?" And before I answer "No", I remember, as much as I hate to admit it, we were.
