“Aaah, Jealousy” coos the green poodle

Boys are stupid. All of them. They can be stupid in relationships, in school, or in common sense.

But they're all stupid.

 

Shut up, green poodle. You're making it worse.

What's wrong with everyone these days? Lately, it seems like everyone is mad at everyone else, friendships and relationships are being tested, and no one is coming out on top?

 

My biggest fear is failure. Did you know that? I'm afraid to fail at school, at friends, at being me, at relationships, and at life in general. And lately, all that I've done is fail.

I've failed to make my AP group understand how important this is to me without yelling at them and making them hate me.

I've failed at getting an A in math because it wasn't as important to me.

I've failed at relationships AND friends at the same time because I've failed to make a clean break and I've failed to make him understand why I did it.

I've failed at life because I can't seem to make everyone else happy at the same time as being happy myself. Someone else is always sad, and I hate that. I feel guilty to be happy when someone I'm close to can barely look at me, or is having problems.

I hate feeling guily and trying to make everything better but failing because no one wants my help and I don't know how else to help them.

I hate it when the only thing left to do is hate myself for everything I've done and move on.

I hate it when everyone turns their backs on their own problems, even though I do it to myself to help other people. I'm so loaded with the feelings and problems of everyone else that I forget about myself and I totally disregard my feelings. I feel happy that I've hepled someone or made them happy one way or another, but it's a shallow happiness, because inderneath, I'm not really happy. Everyone else is, but I'm not, so then that makes me desperate to find a solution to make myself happy and everyone else by lying to myself and everyone, but then I start telling myself the truth and then everyone else, or maybe just that one person, gets mad at me and is "disapointed in my decision".

I don't knwo how to fix things anymore, so I'm going to stop trying. Everyone else can fix things, and I'm just going to sit here and let them. Because every time I try to make everyone, including myself happy, it falls through and then it sucks worse than before. So I'm done.

You want things to change? Change it yourself. I'm done making things worse. I'm done trying to make myself happy and not be depressed or living in a lie. I'm done pretending to be someone just to make someone else feel good, because that's not fair to me.

I'm finally going to be true to myself and not let anyone else chagne how I feel about things just to make them happier.

I'm done trying to help. So help yourselves. Because i'm DONE.

Boyfriend

It's funny. I never really thought of it like this.

 

Today, I said it outside, for the first time out loud. "I have a boyfriend"

And honestly? I felt kind of silly, like I was a six year old.

"Mommy, mommy! I made a new boyfriend!"-six year old Bri.

It sounds corny!

I've never really thought of it like that.

When you don't have one, it sounds like something you can't afford, that insanely big treasure you just can't reach.

Not the actual boyfriend- just the ability to say "I have a boyfriend"

And then, when you get one, if you really like him, you think "What a ridiculous thing to look forward to! Just being able to say 'I have a boyfriend' used to be my dream! Now what?"

 

Which brings me to my next subject.

Some people don't date for the person, mostly they date for either social reasons or because all they want is a physical relationship. That's a waste of their time, but it's their problem, so I'm staying out of it.

If you're going to date someone, make sure it's someone you really like, someone you really trust. Because at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what you call them, all that matters is that you have someone you really, truly like.

Standards and a note

On 2-22-07, after Mike requested that I write up my standards for my "future guy", he passed me a note about it.

Bri's Standards:

*Taller than me

*Funny

*Interesting (can keep a conversation going)

*doesn't expect me to change drastically for him

*Has always been a boy (No sex changes) (He thought this one was funny)

*Doesn't smoke/ do drugs

*Trustworthy

*Somewhat intelligent

*Polite (for my dad)

 

The note goes as follows (Mike is italic):

Whatever you say, but why do they need to be polite for your dad?

Because otherwise y dad will kill them, and/or because I wouldn't be able to go out with them otherwise

(Manchester Untited SUCKS. Arsenal kicked their ***!) I don't think that should matter.

You don't think what my dad thinks should matter? I don't really have a choice, but I'm willing to argue it for someone I really like.

It's your life, your parents should lighten up (you're in a breakish downish state) (???)

And then we went on to discuss other things, and he informed me that me and Brandon would be getting married in Vegas, but I said I wanted to go somewhere with more roller coasters. And then we just talked about pretty much nothing until the bell rang. Strange, no?

I Know What Jerks Are

A jerk is someone who pretends to be your friend for a while, then decides not to talk to you much at all, and then, when they need your help, the come back. And after you help them, they lapse back in to ignoring you.

That is a true jerk. A jerk isn't someone who calls you fat, ugly, or stupid. Those people don't even know you. They're just rude.

A jerk is someone who actually gets to know you, learns about your strengths and insecurities, and then calls you names while still expecting you to help them when they need it. A one-sided deal.

Parasitism is the relationship between two organisms where one benefits at the other's expense. Parasitism. Like a bad friendship. A jerk is a parasite. A bad friend is a jerk. Therefore; STOP PRETENDING TO BE MY FRIEND. IT'S NOT GONNA WORK ANYMORE. YOU AREN'T WORTH MY TIME, SO STOP WASTING MY LIFE AS WELL AS YOUR OWN, STOP TALKING TO ME, AND GO AWAY.

"Horrid design, content that could be described as filler at the very best, and as a whole very 'blah'. Only slightly more entertaining than performing auto-autopsy. Very slightly at that. Also, the admin is pretentious and insists on calling herself 'The Bri'. What an ego."

..cute. very cute.

For the record, I like preforming auto-autopsy.

And who the heck are you calling 'pretentious'?? THIS IS THE BRI YOU'RE TALKING TO! I DEMAND RESPECT!

Heh. I guess I do have an ego.

Whatever. The fact is this: if you don't like my site, fine. I honestly don't care. But don't go trashing it unless you have an idea of how to change it. Look: I'm a fifteen year old girl with no history in programming or website design. I'm a writer. I think I'm doing pretty well, all things considered.

Oh- and also; if you think I'm pretentious, and you hate my website, then don't give me personally a thumbs-up on StumbleUpon.

Unless pretentious people turn you on, of course. Don't worry- I'm used to it.

Love and regards,

The Bri

Microsoft Word vs OpenOffice

(Sounds of a struggle are heard)

Recently, when my old computer died and I had to switch to a new one, I had to switch word processors; from the normal Microsoft Word to OpenOffice, a program that was free and came with the computer.

My dad encouraged me to give the cheap program a chance, so I did.

I didn't like it.

As a budding author, one of my favorite features from Microsoft Word was the handy thesaurus available with a right click over a highlighted word. I was extremely disheartened by the fact that Open Office had no such feature, which slowed down my writing process quite a bit.

Also, even though I'm an avid reader and writer, I can't spell worth crap. So the spell check use was vital. Open Office does have spell check, but when you're adding words such as names of characters it hasn't heard of or creating new words for your story, the 'add' button on Open Office was extremely inconvenient. Not only did I have to choose which dictionary to put the new word in (why should I care? as long as it's in the database, I'm fine), but I also had to decipher what each dictionary even was. Also, the spell check on OpenOffice is apparently not as smart, because it has problems guessing what word you're trying to type, wheres Microsoft Word picks it up much easier and has a wider knowledge of words.

Also, when adding pictures to your document, OpenOffice doesn't have a very clear 'picture toolbar', so it's harder to move it around and work with the settings. In Microsoft Word, it's much simpler and more clearly labled.

In addition, Microsoft Word also has a cleaner, clearer look than OpenOffice, making it easier on the eyes, and more aesthetically pleasing.

One thing I do like about OpenOffice is that you can change the case (UPPER or lower) without typing the whole thing over. (ex. you accidentally hit Caps Lock, and you don't want to have to re-type everything, so you just change the case). I don't think that Word has this feature, but I could be wrong.

So, basically, if all you're looking for is a basic word processor with limited features for things like letters or school projects that don't require much creativity or originality, then OpenOffice is for you. But if you're like me, someone who writes frequently and is in constant need of adding new words to the dictionary or assessing a thesaurus quickly, then stop being cheap and get Microsoft Word. It really is worth it.

 

 

-Can I get Microsoft Word now, dad?

It’s aesthetically turning me on

Let's see…

Business: watched my stocks plummet

AP Human Geography: Got 5 extra credit points and an automatic A on the quiz because I was good for the sub

Biology: Harassed by Zach, argued with Mike over inventors, had mike draw in my planner (it was pretty good, too), switched Mike seats to stop zach from harassing me, watched a movie, talked to mike.

G+T: Commanded by Graham and Cody to help them with Spanish, took a stupid CSAP practice test, got mad at Cody and Graham

Lunch: Talked to multiple people, got nose flicked by Hudson, sat with justin, sage, jeff, and elliot, read a book

Acting: read through a play, listened to the girl and guy next to me talk about the girl's most recent sex and other things relating to that sex (not pleasant)

Geometry: got slapped by a really heavy ruler, got a ruler almost shoved up my nose, got my face slapped by a ruler (the last two were mike), and got exasperated with the teacher for her lack of control.

Spanish: Was reminded how boring that class is and talked to Cody.

 

 

After school: Got called a whore by Cody, and thane procceded to nae off people who 'wanted my services'. Slapped thane upside the head before I got on the bus. Got him in the head with a hard snowball by thane. Watched kelli lose her grip when elliot and graham stole her iPod. It was quite hilarious.

Bus: talked to brandon and kelli

 

Over-all, it was a fairly good day. 

 

 

9 DAYS TILL MY BIRTHDAY!!!

I'M ALMOST FIFTEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
