| i lol'd, really loudlypfahahahahaha
ok, so james just turned 24 on wednesday, so we threw him a lil party. we had to wait till late cause a couple of our crewmates were still working and had to close at starbucks. the plan, celebrate and then go to the pool. unfortunately (well, fortunately) i had to be at work at 5 am the next day so i felt bad but opted not to have fun with everybody and not celebrate james's birthday with him.
later i found out that they got busted by the cops for trespassing, (it was like 3 am, i mean, they were pool hopping, 3 am, pool, friends, sounds awesome to me). unfortunately, they werent the cops we were cool with (we're cool with a lot of cops that frequent our starbucks, we give them free drinks, they let us off tickets and other trouble). so they got busted, arrested, fined, have a court date, blah blah blah, really lame. not like they had anything illegal on them. anyways, just thought i'd share a funny story, i laughed really hard when andrew told me, then i felt sorry, but first u gotta laugh. i feel so lucky :]

| sunriseso i really love the camp sunrise campground, and theres a highschool session i could get into, program may be good, hopefully yes, but its kinda xpensive and i hafta pay for it.... so just wondering who is going (im sure only like 3 ppl will see this but thats 3 more ppl i'll know that are/arent going i guess)
or we could jus try to convince mark why he should/shouldnt participate.
everyones going to global peace festival in dc right? i think everyone should.
i'll update about my life/week/weekend later but im sure no one should ead it because it'll be described by like 4 other ppl and reading the same weekend over and over is stupid. it'll be more jus for me i think

| xangayay! So ppl are using xanga again, i hope it lasts for a while this time. i suggest we all keep it up, its really nice to release and yeah... just release all your emotions and thoughts and occasionally have others look over it, catch a glimpse of you and understand you better. So yeah, firstly i suggest we all 1-stay with xanga 2-of course keep in touch through xanga + facebook 3-writing letters is cool but seems to be difficult for some reason... (BIG IDEA) 4-ok, maybe its a lame idea, but i suggest that we all a lil journal, write stuff down every once in while, big stuff, little stuff, your day, your emotions, your thoughts, your questions, you know, just you. Then next time we get together we can all put together our things, photocopy them, and put them together and we'll all have like idk, maybe a years worth of our lives, and we could seperate them by person, or do it chronologically (that'd be interesting) i know thats what we kinda do for letters(or i do...), but if its not too bad just record it twice or copy it with a scanner/copier/fax machine. that way we can send letters for more immidiate purposes but i think it'd be really cool if we got a lil peice of ourselves and our friends that was a whole years worth. that way we can look back at ourselves and see where we were at but also where our friends were too. I say we try to be as honest as possible, it'll only help us in the long run, and if its too personal just keep it for yourself and dont include it into the compilation of ourselves/book thingie... maybe its a stupid idea? i say we give it a shot. letters are cool but they're the only thing i use to record my life besides xanga and then i ship it off, i dont have it and dont remember, i think it'd be cool to look back at not jus others but also ourselves(and vice-versa if u only keep a journal, now you can see how life is through the eyes of someone else!) So im gunna go ahead and assume that only owin and inae stumble across this, if not i'll just spam it at u guys so you cant miss it. dont even pretend u missed it >: ( <----thts exactly how i'll look if u do maybe sungis would be interested in joining us? anyone else that we'd like to include? obviously we'll have to be unanimous on who and who not because we could potentially be sharing very personal/confidential/i dont want or care for that person to know so much- kinda stuff all 'n' all, i know i'll probably be the first one to complain about the commitment but i really think it'd be a cool & fun project, and if it works out we can continue cause it'd be an awesome way to stay in touch, really know eachother and ourselves, and i've said and too much. Can somebody say run-on? yeah, stay in touch, deeper understanding, and i think writing stuff down also clears things up in your head, makes things make more sense, and more concrete. so we'll pretend its also psychologically and physiologically healthy. yeah, im just throwing big words around now to sound smart. did it work? just do it but also reply with an answer? | | |
| falling out sooo, falling out, everyone knows what i mean right? (everyone refers to like the 2 readers i get)
if not, people who used to be your friends and are now...not
so its never really been something i've had to deal with b4, i could recall one instance, and thats it. like if they really mattered to me, we kept in touch even if we didnt live next door. things were great, friends were lovely and seemed like it'd be that way forver, but all is not well in paradise, dun dun dun.
so anyways, its almost been officially 4 years since i graduated from my tiny private+elementary school. gosh i loved that place, why? because i had so many wonderful memories of friends and teachers, days when things were so simple. So its been a while since i had seen anyone or really talked to them, cause back in the day for some reason no one had cells, e-mails, or aim. so we kinda lost touch with some of each other, others i've been able to stay with. but then, FACEBOOK!!! like everybody has one now so i was able to add just about everyone (by everyone thats all 1...2... 12 ppl, not that hard a task)
as i stated earlier, its graduation!!! yay!!! so i decided we should have a lil reunion and get everyone together so i took on the task of planning a trip to NYC since thats where our 8th grade trip was. got like all the details together, its a sweet deal.
so where does falling out come into play? right about here. sooo, since elementary school i've had my own lil crew, my best friend cliff, and then there was mary and nicole. i've stayed in touch with cliff but i've never but i've never heard a word from mary or nicole. so earlier this year i got their facebooks and eagerly left them messages as soon as i found them, i was so happy! after several attempts to talk to them i gave up. Appearantly cliff had a lil better luck, his sister and nicole's sister are best friends so he was able to talk to her here and there. Appearantly tho, she said something along the lines of "We've grown up, made new friends, and im busy. i've moved past all that, ou should too".
my reaction=what the HELL?!?!?! so we were practically best friends since kindergarten-8th grade and now... the fuck? i dont even curse. i was so freaking confused, mad, hurt. not only that, 4 years of trying to get in touch and like 6 months after i'd found her on facebook. so im gunna go ahead and guess that it wasnt even worth her time replying to me. like its one way if she feels like that, but couldnt she have the decency to tell me instead of just ignoring me? i'd seriously rather take a cold answer like that than never hear from her and find out through someone else. and im gunna guess that mary is on the same page cause i've never heard from her, and even though she moved to N.C. after 8th grade she comes over and stays at nicole's every summer. i just dont understand how 9 years together, freaking 5 days a week, 9 months a year, and it all means nothing? no, cause even i think about nothing when my mind wanders, its less than nothing. i just dont understand it. the last time i ever saw mary she was sobbing as i gave her a hug goodbye. Nicole was one thing, but cliff was my best friend, then there was mary, if there was anything i couldnt really talk about to cliff for whatever reason she was always there. And i know i didnt just imagine my whole childhood, or that these friendships werent really that big a deal, cause i know they felt the same way i did. I work at starbucks, and Mary's sister moved back into the area to be a nurse and i see her every once in a while when she gets cofee. i get so excited and ask about mary and everything. i cant express really how i felt/feel. so hurt.
So needless to say, i was heartbroken. i've been wanting to get everyone back together since about a month after school ended 4 years ago. i'd planned so much and anticipated our lil reunion. i mean, ppl had moved to cali, japan, texas, but it many of them are gunna be in the area and it'd be a great opportunity to get together, not to mention nicole still lives in the area and mary also comes back every summer.... i dont even know if i wanna go through with the ny trip anymore. i jus wanted to get together with cliff mary and nicole really. what happened? sometimes i wish i had never grown up but live goes on.... heh, made me think of the offspring. obviously i still wish we were friends tho.
BUT i did gain something from all that. Im really happy that cliff and i still get together once in a while, that we're not too cool for each other even though we've changed tremendously (no, actually i dont think either of us changed much) its really made me appreciate the time i get to spend with my friends, and even if we're not friends forever i'll still be thankful for the times we had, cherish those memories, and i still love them. Im incredibly lucky tho to have the amazing friends that i did end up with and that i never had to go thru this stuff sooner. it definately really makes me appreciate the ppl i do have and the time i spend with them so special. heh, i figure this will only get 2 views, and i think i could bet good money on inae being one of those within the next month or so. Course, we'll never have this problem eh Inae? nope nope nope, im pretty sure bff=bestest friends forever, and not best fake friends. im screwed if its the latter... so lets make a deal, no falling out, and we'll always stay friends, how bout it? (oh and of course if anybody else spent the enormous amount of time to get to this point, i can obviously tell that your a true friend if you decided i was worth wasting so mcuh of your precious life and those minutes that you'll NEVER get back). that being said, i really appreciate everyone, i really do, but now i need to get back to studying for finals. hit me up guys ok? tomorrow is my last school day and i'd really like to catch up with you guys and arrange something so we can hang out.
love

-The Offspring-
Memories are bittersweet
The good times we can‘t repeat
Those days are gone and we can never get them back
Now we must move ahead
Despite our fear and dread
We‘re all just wishing we could stop, but
Life goes on

| random rant, no point, waste of time to read: you have been warnedSo i love xanga, i just hate how i never get on it anymore. i really do like xanga, i used to use it a lot, and now it seems to have died. ahh!!! i know i could try to help its revival but i just don't have enough time these days. why is everythign so busy??? honestly, im only 17, yeah i know, thats old right? but compared to how long i will live its nothing, i'll proabbly live way longer than i'd like to because my mom is okinawan(they have the world's longest lifespans, 95+ average?) and my dad's side is really healthy too. so say i live to be 100, 17 is like baby. why is there such a rush? seriously? And the other thing, why do i have so many interests? that doesnt hep the time crunch either. theres just so much i wanna do and learn and experience, but i dont have the resources like the time and/or money. Yeah, i am perfectly content with my life as it is now, not even content, i love it. But time management is so hard sometimes because there are so many things i have to do, want to do, and then of course theres the time i would love to just spend with friends. I really feel bad for those friends that i never really hang out with, it just seems that our schedules always conflict. so yes, youguessed right, its another pointless rant! man i make a ton of these. One day i think i'll actually have, like actual points to these rants? too bad those alwas go into homework so i make a mindless jumble on my xanga since all organization is wasted on hw. From now on maybe i'll actually start posting things that have a point, but none of u guys would like it, at all. not that this is enthralling or exillarating. Interests: Nature, mountains, forests, outdoors sports, volleyball, tennis, football, gymnastics, martial arts, frisbee, parkour religion, philosophy, dp (totally over used but) friends, we all know how friendship is, i hope acupunture, reiki, alternative healing and medicine comics, (marvel, dc, not so much manga but some of it is good), collectible trading card games (sounds lame and nerdy but theres tons of strategy and $$$$$$$, tons of money and prize support, and satisfaction) spending time with my family time to just relax, chill, reflect, think internally, talk with God, quiet time i guess? Food, i love eating traveling, love to go new places Um, so those are some of my interests in no particular order or ranking, jus there with no organization. i'll try and have a point and organize it next time. but yeah, so many interests, so little time and money to support it all, and thats not even all of it, sheesh, will this guy ever stop? answer" yes, in a second so im sorry to all those who wasted their time reading this -mark | | |
