Updates on things of all sorts. [Fri

So it's official, my mother will be driving up to meet with me and she is bringing Cinder, my kitten, with her! I'm so excited, I'm about to go out to town to try and find him a nice little bed, and maybe a new toy or two.

Also and update on the club, I'm thinking possibly an outdoors club? Would any of you be interested in joining? I know that Emily and William both love the outdoors, and I'm hoping there are a few more of you who appreciate it as well.

Pope said all article submission for the paper are due this Friday at midnight! Which means that the pre-dance article may be post poned until next week, or it may not happen at all. I just haven't had the time at all to interview anyone. I hope you'll forgive me Pope.

Also, Byron I'm still waiting for an answer to my invitation. I hope to hear from you soon!

Death by PB&J. [Wed

Lunch with Alfie was eventful (supposedly I make a killer PB&J), I'm now going to have something to do with all of my time. That's right, I'm now an official writer for the school newspaper! My first assignment as a reporter is the up coming school dance, I'll be writing both pre-dance and post-dance articles, so I'll be scouting out a few people to interview for the pre-dance article in the next few days. I'd love to know what you all are thinking as the dance is approaching! Please comment if you'd like to volunteer for an interview, otherwise I may contact you myself.

How do I feel about the dance? I guess I'm excited, aside from getting to write about it. I haven't asked or been asked to go with anyone, which doesn't really upset me (like some people). I think it will be fun with or without a date, although it could be a bit more fun with one. Perhaps I'll just be going with friends.

In other news, I wrote my mother about possible having Cinder, my kitten, come and live with me. I don't see why it should be a problem, my family has paid a good amount of money for me to have my own private quarters in this school, I should be able to at least keep a little kitten with me.

Oh yes, Byron I was wondering if you'd like to come over sometime to watch a film with me or something. I think that would be a lot of fun and you can pick the flick if you'd like to.

Journal #133 [Tue

I've been looking around the school lately for clubs and such, and my search has yielded very little results; so I'm thinking of starting up a club myself. The only problem is that I have no idea what the basis of the club would be, I'll be thinking about it though.

I miss my kitten greatly. It's sad to think that when I return home after this school year Cinder won't be a kitten any more, but a cat. He probably won't remember me at all. I'm sure that I could keep him here with me, I'll write my mother and ask her what she thinks about it.

I'm starting to like my live journal more and more. I took Jane's suggestion of transferring from my paper and pen journals into this one. Yesterday I went out and bought a new Moleskin just to write things for my live journal, yet another journal to add to my collection I've been keeping since age five. This makes journal #133. I've also bought a scanner, to make the transfer easier. However right now I don't have time to scan anything, Tennyson will be here any minute for lunch. We are discussing the school paper, which I'm very excited for.

Coffee. [Thu

Coffee with Byron wasn't in the least bit awkward, as I feared it would be, actually I think we connected rather well. But I don't know if I should post everything we said, some of it could be considered personal. So we will just leave it at that.
I'm not quiet sure what to write in this thing still, I much prefer pen and paper. Although, it does seem to be an excellent tool of communication; however I do not want to become dependent on it. I wonder if there are any clubs in the school. Maybe a writing club? A newspaper or zine?
Oh yes and maybe some of you have a class or two with me, my schedule is as follows...
1. Biology
2. Latin
3. Film Studies
Lunch Break
4. Drawing
5. English
6. ILC

Nod's, Yeah's, and No's. [Wed
May 4th, 2005 @

School has been in session for almost two weeks now and I have yet to make even an acquaintance. In fact, I have yet to talk to anyone. Actually that's not entirely true, I've talked to several people, it just seems as if their responses are forced, dry, and meaningless. I feel like they are answering yes or no questions. When I say "hello" the response is usually a nod, saying "excuse me" gets me a "yeah", and "can I sit here" gets a strong and definite "no".
For some reason it doesn't bother me as much as it should, sometimes I appreciate the solitude, it would just be nice to talk to someone every now and then.
I know that a lot of students have livejournals too, maybe that would be a good way to meet someone. It would seem less personal though; and our first meeting would be a bit awkward, I assume. It would be nice if someone said hello to me for once, but I'm not just going to sit here forever waiting.

For not caring as much as I should I'm sure going on about it. I wonder if I really do care and I'm just trying to cover up my insecurities with an "I don't care" defense mechanism. The human mind is so complex and self-defeating. How can we ever know that what we are thinking is actually what we think? With all the defense mechanisms, false memory, and denial it's enough to create an entire false reality for ourselves.
Damn that psychology class.
This is why I enjoy the simple things.
