Journalistic Endeavors of a College Kid

When you really care for someone, you're willing to let them go when you realize that they deserve so much more than you could ever think to offer.

Hurts so many...

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 01:34:40 -0400

Had an awesome night with Stella. But now I’m home and…well… it really hurts. Why? I mean, what can I do? Nothing. And it’s getting more frequent by the week. Maybe it’s the stress before the big move, but something’s gotta give. I mean, people aren’t supposed to hurt like this. I could pop some pills, but I don’t think it’ll work. But it hurts… it’s a needle-like pain. WTF? Confusion!

"a great love that's not meant to be..."

Sat, 08 Aug 2009 03:13:08 -0400

It’s funny. We never know that the other people around us often have the exact same thoughts and feelings as us.
Like today. Josh told me that when he saw his ex-girlfriend a few weeks ago, he just wanted to kiss her. So I read to him that beautiful passage I found in my book, “Nothing grieves so deeply or pathetically than one half of a great love that’s not meant to be.”
And he felt it, just as I felt it, because it tells a truth neither one of us can or are able to express. We can’t because it’s not right. We aren’t able because who has the words to explain it, that feeling of waiting and waiting and waiting, for nothing more than a glance or a brush or a sliver of attention. And why do we hang on like that?
Josh is my brother, so I know first hand that he is a beautiful person, in and out. We stem from a beautiful mother. We’re a really great family. We are all beautiful inside and out.
So why can’t we have what we ~~want~~ need?
It feels immature to say that it’s not fair, but once again, my book tells me that, “a man or woman becomes mature only two or three seconds before his death.” So what, maybe I’m allowed to be immature…

Oh, and I’m moving two weeks from today. I’ve started packing.

Top 10 Reasons Gay Marriage is Un-American

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 03:14:11 -0400

itdoesnmakesense:

jesussavesispendd:

savagemike:

Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can’t marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn’t be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren’t full yet, and the world needs more children.

Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That’s why we have only one religion in America.

Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven’t adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

“You know the sad—but true—cliche that says that folks in entertainment are trying to fill a void in their lives? Well, being in the spotlight is like grabbing a drink each time you have a problem. You think you solved something, but at the end of the day the problem is still there and you’re an alcoholic.”

Vanity Fair edits Sarah Palin’s resignation speech

The literary editor and copy and fact-checking department of Vanity Fair decided to tackle Palin’s recent speech resigning as Governor of Alaska. While the snarkiness of correcting her grammar is a little passive aggressive, the factual errors they have pointed out are completely out of control. Really? VPOTUS candidate? Not ok.

see it all here.

Mmm, that passive aggression makes me feel all warm inside.

Same.

Wow… it hurts a lot. I thought this was Palin’s person editing it before he big speech, but for Vanity Fair to edit it… once again, it hurts.

Apparently my lesson has not yet been learned. After several drinks, I got sick. And poor Jenn had to clean it. And there was a lot.

Jenn told me this morning that I kept saying, “Bryan hates me.” Once even while I was sitting next to him. And Jenn told Bryan to tell me that he didn’t hate me. So he told me that he did hate me. And I was apparently upset, so Bryan told me that he didn’t hate me.
That was the most embarrassing part of the night. So I guess it could have been worse.

Mort: Was I in it?

Oh my

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 02:04:49 -0400

God!!!

The other night, we were at Applebees and someone mentioned the time and said that we should make a wish.
My wish was that Bryan would want me.
And I thought it was stupid to wish that, because…

But after tonight’s text messages… Jenn is going to smack him, then smack me, then dump both of us. After some drunken accidental hand holding and snuggling last night, we decided that in the name of Corry Matthews, it will not be accidental next time…

Why am I getting myself into this? I have the same feeling now as I had when Justin asked me out. My brain said, “This won’t end well…” but some other part of me said, “Oh well.”
This time, the brain is saying the same thing, but the other part says, “You can’t help it. You’ve loved him since he dumped you. And he DUMPED you… You’re screwed… Just take what he gives you and go with it, because we all know… ya still love him… you always have.”

Whhhateva… if nothing else, this takes my mind off my audition…

The Audition

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 23:08:44 -0400

No callback so far… I have to force myself to be like my alter-personality (as Adelaide has become) and say “Whhhateva.” I did my best to impress the director and he wrote something down, but I just don’t know. If I get a chance at a callback, I know I’ll get a part because I am awesome at cold readings. I can just see words on a page and act them out without a problem. I mean, I’m young enough, I can hit the notes, and I have the passion and enthusiasm they are looking for.
Looking back, I can nitpick my audition to bits, but I need to send positive energy towards it….
Man the director was cute… oh well. If I don’t hear anything this week, I’ll still write down the dates for the show and I’ll go to it because it is a great show.

So, straight up, last night Jenn, Josh, Corry, Bryan, and I all stayed at my house and had a few drinks…. okay. A lot of drinks. And I remember a few things very clearly. Like, I was wrapped around Bryan’s arm at one point and his hand was on my leg. And later, we were holding hands, I think. I remember feeling warm and fuzzy, but that was probably the alcohol.
So here’s the truth: I love Bryan, but I don’t trust him. I don’t want to be a girlfriend. I have been sufficiently independent for almost two years and I love it. And I don’t want to do to Katie what she did to me. She deserves it, no doubt, but I am a better person than she is. I have more guts and confidence than she will ever have. But still, she has Bryan.
I don’t deserve to be second best. Allow me to quote from The Last Five Years, one of the best musicals ever written.
“I am a good person. I’m an attractive person. I am a talented person… grant me grace…”

And still… (Wicked) “That’s the girl he chose… he loves her so…
I’m not
that
girl.”

Most people won't ever feel this...

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 03:30:22 -0400

The stage is a magical character in my life. He picks me up and makes me feel like I’m something special. He gives me butterflies. He gives me a high. He is an essential element to my existence.
If you’ve never been on stage, then you probably don’t get that.
Most people are afraid of the stage. They would rather walk off a building than perform on a stage. They will never feel the terrifying rush of adrenaline and fear. It’s so fulfilling, yet so draining. I’ve been doing this show without an audience for 2 weeks. But having an audience really sucked my energy. But that’s okay. I am ready for more.

And this is something I just realized, but when you go on stage, you give up a part of yourself. You give up your insecurities and fears. You have to. Good actors have the confidence to put themselves in a box and leave it behind until the end of the show. They put themselves away and feel what it’s like to be somebody else with a story.

And I love it. I will never give that up.
