Maggie said: >Awww... >Men suck. >No, scratch that. Boys suck. uh-huh. i know the feeling. but they're also those WONDERFUL lovely golden objects that sink into your sight and shine clear in your eyes and you're just dazzled as the sun bounces off their hair... very nice. that's a very nice thing indeed. >And never, ever tell her you like her without actually having a reason. See, this...well, ok, so i've basically been boycotting chatting online, cause, well, anyone remember my long-ago poem 'the chatters'? i just think it rather sucks. i mean, i have a life. no offense to you guys - i just perfer the "touch and it's real" effect. so anyway, i went on a couple times recently and met this guy. so, whatever, my friend says, 'do you like him' and all i said was 'he's cool' and she's like 'i'll hook you up,' and i was like, whoah wait hold that thought for like, forever, b/c i just met this guy. plus, i just don't go for the online crap anymore. anyway, i've known him what, 2 days, and already i'm like, first, i like my life much better w/o chatting, and second, he's all saying he likes me and i'm going, dearie, you've known me TWO DAYS. and then i had to go through that whole explaining thing about how i don't go out with guys on the net. i left out the part about how most of that is b/c i actually like to touch their hair, not just picture it. so...yeah, all this really means is, ugh, you can't LIKE someone when you don't KNOW them, creepies! >Boys. I want a guy. Upgrade, please???? You know, I know some really really fantastic guys. like, 1/2 are friends, but those aren't the ones im' talking about. i'm talking about...others. summer, you know ONE that i'm talking about, ooh lala. and btw summie - i dreamed about evan, interesting huh? anyway, there's one guy especially...oh why am i rattling about all this? whatever! Christie... wow. You go. >Hey guys- I got picked to go to MTV on Tuesday! I am sooooo excited, except I >don't know anyone else who's going : ( So, if you're going, please email me. >Also- I am going tomorrow to audition to ask her a question- and I have NO >idea what to ask. HELP!!! Ok, so what exactly are we talking about here?? Chapter: Wuv. >I AM romantic. Basically, I want a boy for my own, who appricates ME for >something more than a friend... ~~siigh~~ Ok ok so...really, i don't feel like getting into it. but...yeah. ooie. summie so elequently stated: >I AM romantic. Basically, I want a boy for my own, who appricates ME for >something more than a friend... ahh yes...you know, i was just thinking...arms are a really nice thing, y'know? anyone ever thought about that? oh, so i sound a bit bizarre now, well, so ha. >I am just this, and I've gone through that so many times... Guys I love adore >me, they love me, they flirt with me, I'm their best friend and I think it's >wonderful... Yup...my thing with this is, "if this gorgeous divine being can't be mine, then goddammit, I'm going to get as close to him as possible and be his bud for life." Basically that, yeah. But you see, that's my CHOICE. The PROBLEM comes in when guys just attach themselves to you and you're like, "umm, and did you ever consider a ROMANTIC interest?" ok lemme see, umm, poems, have i written any...sheet...(that's 'sh1t' with an accent, don't ask me why, and don't ask me what kind, because i can't tell you). UM! poems. poems, poems, poems...nope. however, lemme show you something...let's see...i just wrote this to a different list but you guys might be interested. here tis: I saw the Dead Poet's Society tonight. I swear, I've just gotten done having a double dose of depressing movies about teenage oppression. One was D.P.S. The other was PUMP UP THE VOLUME and wooooooooooo! I'm curious about what you guys think about these movies, and how you think they relate to each other, what the issues are, the differences. I'm very interested to know. Christian Slater and Ethan Hawke (Slater in Pump and Ethan in Dead) did excellent jobs, in my opinion, at portraying different yet similar characters that become free. Lots of issues about parents that don't understand the youth and don't try to, schools that are horrible, and becoming hopeful, empowered and true to yourself. I thought both, but especially Pump, was very good at giving inspiration to pursue your hopes and dreams, and that you can CHANGE the world. I know this is a very cliche, overused term, "change the world," but I really do believe in it. I think one of the main problems is that we have forgotten - no, we don't believe that we can make a difference. But even the littlest things make differences, and you CAN make them big. I heard something on the radio (I think it was there) about how, after a certain age, most people level out what they believe, listen to, etc., as well as their energy; we the YOUNG are the ones who can still make a difference. We see society and the world and the way things are, and we're disgusted, we know it can change - and we will or we must, we've got to believe it too, because if we don't, then soon enough we just fade it off and think, "someone else will do it someday," or, "things really aren't that bad." It's now while we're vibrant that things can change. Anyway, so that's just a dip into what I think...I thought they were amazing movies, beautiful, touching, thought-provoking, and totally depressing. And that's some of what I think the movies expressed. Alrighty, not too many poems at the moment but i feel like writing so we will see what is uncovered for you guys tomorrow!!!!
