Why is every1 out here so fake
Puttin up with all this shit is more than I can take
I hate it
Am I jaded
Or has everything I have come to kno so quickly faded
Shits Overated
How can u tell me that Im the one whos wrong
When ur the one whos been fucking people over all along
Why do you stay with her if shes the root of all ur pain
Then kick back lookin at me sayin Im the one whos vain
Am I insane
Aint it strange
if u cant see her
then why do u keep her
So u can sleep at night
Wit false hope that thangs gonna be alrite
and even tho im treatin ya cool
you still lookin at me like im a tool
if it aint my numba one rule
u wanna dule
FUCK YOU
Fuck it
Im sick of all this shit
How u act all innocent
perfect and lit
But I see through it
And yall look at me like Im the one who needsta deal
When in reality Im the only one who be keepin it real
peace

music: ivy "while we're in love"
While we're in love
We'll bleed each other dry
We'll hold each other close
We'll make each other cry

While we're in love
We'll get what we deserve
Until we lose our faith
Unit we lose our nerve

We know it won't last forever
'Cause we're not meant to be together
Make the best of a bad situation
Face the fear and the desperation
While we're in love
While we're in love

While we're in love
We'll drag ourselves around
We'll hold each other up
We'll tear each other down

We know it won't last forever
'Cause we're not meant to be together
Make the best of a bad situation
Face the fear and the desperation
While we're in love
While we're in love

love** wish i was findin it :-\

  upon talkin to fritti i decided I TOO will write an LJ entry on my decision about education. My father has continually asked me if being in UMass is where i truly want to be, and i constantly find myself assuring him it is. A part of this is true, but i have also realized that being here is more or less what I thought I wanted and not what I truly wanted. I was sitting in "my body my health" class and I found myself saying to Tee, "this is like a college students' DARE!" It is really- we learn about stress and how to cope, drugs and how to stay clean, alchohol, nutrition, yatta yatta yatta. This class has really opened my eyes and prompted me to begin my quest for what i really am looking for in my life rite now. I mean, granted its a great class, fairly easy- but is this really what i want to be wasting 12 grand a year on? To have some professor with a terminal degree telling me to DRINK LESS???? Kinda ironic that I have that class to attend and then umassdrunks.org on my instant messenger info! I mean my freinds here are like- "wait it out amanda, its only ur first year, things will get better..." and then i find myself at a party where there are people more fucked up and obnoxious than ever, and i find out they are JUNIORS and i ask myself when is this ever going to end, im investing the worth of a brand new M3 on watchin people throw up on my doc martins and going to "chinese literature." In a world that i feel like investing money is the key to ultimate success, i feel like im on a dead-end road.
So people tell you- "do what you want to do with your life and dont worry about money" - well thats all well and good, but you do hafta find a happy medium. I dont want to sound like a snoot, but there are certain things Ive grown up with that i want to be able to still have as i go on my own and that i want to provide for my children if that day should ever come. If it were as easy as just going to beauty school, and for all who kno me kno i got a knack for that shiat- then i would, but I kno that I do NEED a degree- its that simple. The only way I wouldnt is if I was an actor or a stylist or whatever and I got that kind of job before i finished any type of higher education. So for this reason i decided to go to one of the best places for one to get noticed for this kind of shiat- maybe get an internship, work a good-paying job like waitressing or bartending, and going to community college to get an associates, and if called for- eventually my bacholors in business or communications at a higher and more comprehensive institution- oh and if i fergot to mention, some occasional surfing, sunbathing, and any other fun things that San Diego hasta offer. Thats rite- September 2003 im goin goin back back to cali cali kidzzzzzzzzzzzz :-D

mood: hopeful
music: sublime 40 oz ... dont push
This Weekend was probably one of the most epiphanic (is that a word? like, i had an epiphany...lol) of my life. I realized that, as you may have previously read, that the only way I am going to make anything out of my life is to become more responsible, and though i have known this for a long time, I am ready to take on the challenge to become the best of the best person as possible. I also realized that everyone is changing; sadly, some are changing for the worse- but now that I come to think about it, maybe they are not changing, and while everyone is maturing and trying to grow up in this world, others are left behind. Yes, i think that just may be the answer....

This entry...ahh, how I wish I could force everyone in my world to read it. Probably the biggest achievement I wish to accomplish in my life is to get through to people. I want people to read, view, or see something that I have created and actually think about it and wonder, "maybe she’s rite?" or "I never thought about it that way?" or "wow, how could I be so blind?" or even a simple "I would never be able to think about that!" Whatever it be, I want to make a difference. When I cannot get through to people, or they cannot understand me and the actions I partake in, I try to share my mindset with them in hope that they will realize. This is why I am argumentative, and this is why I don’t back down. I am very set in my ways, and if you don’t at least SEE it my way, I get pissed and I try to do everything I can for you too, and sometimes that can get messy. Whatever- at least I can admit that what may sometimes be my strength may also be my weakness.

One of the most upsetting things right now, is the true reality of some of the relationships I have with people right now. I don’t understand how it is humanly possible to be close friends with someone, and they just turn around and stab you in the back. It is times like these that we really have to sit back and look at ourselves, the people around us, and those whom we call our friends. I must say, if there was a bitch-out between two close friends, you can expect them to make amends. I also might add, that there are fine lines within any relationship that cannot be crossed nor will be tolerated if they are crossed. In addition, people can only be given a certain amount of chances to prove themselves worthy of another persons trust, respect, and emotion.

I can say for myself, if a close friend was to bitch me out and I didn’t necessarily know why, I would want to do everything I could to understand why I upset them and what I can do to fix it. I certainly would not say, "fuck you too," and move on in my life- that would be a clear indication that I was not close to them nor did I care or value their friendship. In my world, a "bitch-out" does simply not lead to the loss of a friend; nevertheless, things don't always go the way that we want them to, and what is true within my mind may not be true within someone else's, and sometimes that’s just too bad. To say the best of friends or lovers don’t fight would be a ludicrous statement- everyone is entitled to there own opinion, and everyone is there own person. Fighting is a natural occurrence, but so is resolve.

People have certain buttons- the closer you become to a person, the better and the more familiar you become with these buttons. These buttons are great when they are pushed to "turn on," but not so great when they are used to "turn off." I myself expect my friends, family, and all others who are close to me to rarely go near the off buttons; however, shit happens, people get pissed, they fight, they make-up, and they move on. Of course, there are a few of those red alert buttons that are simply too low for anyone who cares about you to reach; they would be located across the fine line that all good relationships make up. These are the buttons that usually burn bridges to which are nearly-impossible to rebuild. This is why most of us, at least those of us with any bit of self-security, don’t care if those people with which we have not established any type of real relationship push these buttons: you cant rebuild a bridge if the bridge was never built to begin with.

A friend has seen you cry, but a true friend has a soggy shoulder from it, and what can I say? A lot of people have been there for me when times have gotten rough. But what I cannot fathom is how someone can do so much for you but tell you that you mean so little to them. I think about it, and I know why I cannot fathom it- it's because it is simply not possible. There is no way, unless someone has serious mental problems, that a person can care about you so much and give so much to you and do so much for you and then turn around and act as if it never happened. There is a serious problem when you make some one your priority when allowing yourself to be their option, but when there is nothing left to give, what then? And how do you know that you are thought of as their option?

And I will say it again, it is times like these when we must sit back and analyze the situation. Are some people truly for real? What are people so scared of? And the answer is once again made clear: they are scared of the truth. Whether the truth is what they feel, what they are becoming, or what they fear the most, they rather not struggle with the inner war of admittance and therefore shun themselves of the things that truly make them happy, or settle with the things that perhaps make them miserable. And while most of us are realizing that we no longer want to live with lies, live with shallow insecurities and live with disillusions, the others are not realizing this or choose not to realize this, or maybe just simply are not ready to realize this. These are the people that are left behind as we readily take our steps ahead. And that, my friend- that is growing up.

How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking
Every breath with you
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
Oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds
And that's what I've got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
But to wait for you is
All I can do
And that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now
'Cause l'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take . . . .

I dont even kno why i chose this song. maybe cuz all i want is for neone too see me cry. and the odds of something coming back to me- its not a person, a lover, a freind, or an enemy--- its life as i kno it. i dont understand why this is the way i am? why cant i just appreciate all the good things in life rather than be depressed over all the bad things - oh wait i kno why, the bad things rite now outweigh the good. In a world that thrives on hope and dreams, i feel so empty cuz all hope has diminished and all my dreams haf turned into nitemares. I just wish this could all end. All i ever wanted was to be happy.

Arent i supposed to pop back up smiling? no matter how many times i get nocked down, arent i supposed to juss rise up again as if it had never happend? What happend to that permanent grin i was known to sport and the sand-filled bottom that was supposed to keep me anchored to the things i love the most? Ive slowly deflated and the smile has sagged into a permanent frown and theres just nothing left inside to allow me to pop back up, be it wiht a smile or a frown. Everything has just diminished. Theres nothing to punch down anymore- im as low as i can go.

But the freinds say ohhhhhhh amanda, what happened to the lovable stoner? what happened to the party gurl that was the life of all events? but who am i kidding, maybe thats all i ever was. and maybe that stoner was a desperate soul just looking for any way out. Maybe the drunk behavior was just a cry to get away from it all - after all if one cant think straight, let alone think nething at all, then they cant get sad about a thought that isnt there. In a world that is based on hope and dreams, i feel like i have nothing. In a world that thrives on love, i feel like i have nothing to depend on.

But rite now, today, this is where it ends. Im sick of being young. Im sick of hafing no responsibility. Im sick of the cheating and decietfullnes to myself and to others. From this moment on, if you give a fuck about me than so be it. Ill bee here for anything that you haf to offer and to you, ill offer all that i can. To anyone else, FUCK YOU. As much as i feel like dying rite now, i think maybe, just maybe, my life is begining....

And i hope im rite. thats the only ounce of hope i have in me rite now. . . . Lets just hope im rite.

music: my tears falling on the keybaord
who the fuck do some people think they are? honestly. theres someone in my world that thinks a little too high of themselves and NEEDS to be shut down. WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK?!?!!?
Tonite was a great nite. I finally got to chill wit the old crew, and wit joey.... ive missed them. everything was going great. i should haf juss come home when they all did, but then again maybe the realization didnt come to pass.
Juss when u think everyONE is cool they aint...... juss when u think everyTHING is great it aint. Makes me not wanna look forward too nething, cuz no matter how hard i try or how chillen i think things will be, they aint.

THIS IS A BIG TIME WHAT THE FUCK

I am thouroughly pissed. and i feel bad for nate.... i diddnt mean nething by not stayin over, i juss felt like i was gettin fucked over by all of it all. Ive been one of the "guys" for all my social life. why do things hafta change now?

I just wish everything would go back to the way they used to be. everythiing was so happy then. wtf, i feel like no one knows me for who i really am, aside from my sistas....and tho they mean the world to me, they are only 5 people in my life, and i feel like i haf so much more.....

But maybe i dont. who am i kidding. im the one who brought myself to this place.... i juss wish everyone would change the way im changing. all i wanna be is one of the guys again. i used to haf so much fun when i was younger.....

Younger. i guess thats the word i will be forever wishin i was entitled too from now on till forever. but forever dosnt seem that long. i wish i had never broken neones heart, had never broken the vow of freindship, had never got involved in something that would only lead to sadness.....

I just wish everything would be ok.

I just wish everything would go back to the way they used to be.

once again i feel like iv'e lost everything and its not fair. I just want to make it in this world and i feel like this world is tryin to make of everything it can against me....

I want to go back to the easy days, but i kno i cant.... and i think that is what depresses me most.... no matter how much i try it will just never be the same. Never.
