Why do I always place my happiness in the hands of others?
Why does his opinion of me matter so much?
Why can't I be happy alone?

Wow. we were setting up for mchappy day at work tonite. allison and bec wrapped my phone and put it in with the lucky dip prizes. lovely ross was there too, he's put blue streaks through his hair, it looks so sexy :D Anyway we were just doing our thing and whenever he'd talk to people near me he always looked at me. its probably a coincidence but i can't help it. then he came and sat next to me at the table and went through all my ringtones, then he wrapped my keys and put them in with all the lucky dip prizes. then he wrapped my phone up all pretty with tape and purple um... crepe paper. then nick came along and ripped it off coz he wanted to play bactumi... ross then wrapped bec's mums phone. ah, he's so sweet and he just looks at me and i melt. i went looking for the paper and he followed, whenever i went he came *swoons* then we all chatted. he asked me if i was going into town with them, i kinda avoided it... then everyone else left and it was me, ross, megs and nessy left... so we helped for a bit then Megan said we might as well go. Ross had said to Clintin that he'd go to CBD with him... i smirked a bit about that and Ross said 'what have i gotten myself into?' there was one point when he came to stand behind me and i felt like it would have been so perfect if he could have put his arms around me... we were also talking about Jess Madden - Bec's cousin - who seems to have a think for Ross... apparently she's al 'i'll see you when i see you' etc. we all kinda made fun of her but i felt really stupid at the same time. here i am gushing about him when all he does is joke about it. i mean, yes, there's a 4 year age difference, but still... :( anyway, if anything tonite made me like him more, he would make a joke then look at me... little things that i probably imagined, but that made me feel special. i don't know - it's wishful thinking on my part he really is too good for me... but i guess i'll know more tomorrow... i really like him, ,and he seems so sweet - he also seems to have the same kind of 'annoyance; with people as me. i told him how lisa said him and ty were hot and he was like 'there are so many people here that annoy me' and i was like 'thanks' he said there are lots of nice ones too. i looked away so i don't know if he thinks i heard. Anyway - I better go, write more some other time...

I hate the fact that people are embarassed to be seen with me.
I hate the fact I'm not beautiful enough to make them proud.
I hate the fact I'm not smart enough, or attractive enough, or interesting enough.
I hate the fact my friends are slowly moving away.
I hate the fact everyone is happy and, although they don't mean to, they rub it in.
I hate the fact it's the guys I really like who don't like me.
At the moment, I hate being me.

I've been at college for awhile now. Slowly I'm starting to feel more comfortable - like I have friends. While I don't claim to be Miss Popularity, I always see people I know to talk to on the way to class and stuff - something I thought would never happen. I don't know - I just feel more comfortable in myself.

Michelle Branch - Goodbye To You... |
] |
I worked today, visited Rachel and Brenton... arranged to go to the movies with them tomorrow - to see Lord Of The Rings. I love that movie. :)
I was talking to Hosea. He's so convinced he's a geek or whatever. He's an absolute sweetheart. He has so many things going for him and if he tried I'm sure there are heaps of girls that would wanna be with him. You try arguing with him about that!
I just feel... so frustrated with... everything in my life. My friends, my school, my work - none of it really gives me any joy, any happiness. I just feel like my life is comppletely meaningless and empty... I don't know I can do, or how I can make it better - but I so want to. I need to.

"Admission"
Written by Laura Speidell.
Late at night I think about you.
I can't deny how much I do.
You're there everywhere I look,
I see your face, hear your voice,
Remember the memories from the past...
I miss you so much but I can never cry.
I can never let the tears fall,
Can never falter and show emotion for you.
You're the one I've wanted for so long now,
The one I wanted to give everything to,
The one I needed to sit with
And pour out my soul to,
The only one I needed to hold.
You would have been my shoulder to cry on.
You would have had my arms to fall into
On those days where nothing seems to go as planned.
You would have been the one I gave my heart to.
You would have had to do nothing but smile
To make everything wrong in the world go away.
Why can't we turn back time,
Go back to the place where everything was perfect?
It's all gone wrong now, no explaination on why.
Everything turned around and hit rock bottom.
I wanted to talk to someone about it,
Then I remembered the person I wanted to talk to was you.
You're the one I wanted for so long now,
The one I wanted to give everything to,
The one I needed to sit with
And pour out my soul to,
The only one I needed to hold.
You would have been my shoulder to cry on.
You would have had my arms to fall into
On those days where nothing seems to go as planned.
You would have been the one I gave my heart to.
You would have had to do nothing but smile
To make everything wrong in the world go away.
I tred carefully around you,
Scared you're going to give up on me completely.
You haven't yet and I don't know why.
If you wanted to get rid of me all you'd have to do is say it,
But for some reason you stay silent.
I'm hanging on your words, not wanting to give up.
The past is what keeps me alive, remembering how it once was.
And hoping maybe you'll realize- -
I'm not giving in.
You're the one I've wanted for so long now,
The one I want to give everything to,
The one I need to sit with
And pour out my soul to,
The only one I need to hold.
You can be my shoulder to cry on.
You can have my arms to fall into
On those days where nothing seems to go as planned.
You will be the one I give my heart to.
You don't have to do anything but smile
To make everything wrong in the world go away.
I won't give in,
Won't stop loving you,
Even if you stop loving me.
Taken from HERE.

I tried to think about other things - and it worked... However I'm still not over James. This girl was sitting next to him, Kristy - and I was jealous. I'm not normally jealous over little stuff - but I wanted to be the one sitting next to him.
I want to be the one he holds in his arms, laughs with, talks with. It's all so cliche - but so true. I hate that he can make me feel this way, and not know... I have to tell him. I have to say something. Next time I see him online... Or in person - if he goes tomorow. Wish me luck...

Ben Harper - Steal My Kisses |

Today was a good day. I finally did something iinstead of sitting on my lazy ass at home. I worked for a while, then went with mum to buy a shelf/chest of drawers thing. Then i found some bathers and went home. Netted for a while then Madeline and Fee turned up. We went to Maccas (Saw James!!) and I got a Sulley (From Monsters Inc.) toy... that was the only reason I wanted to go to Maccas! Came home and had a good talk to Hosea and Bec Mackrill. Yeah, so it was a good day. Didn't do much, but it was positive, and thats what counts - right?
Yeah, talking to Bec made me a little sad, hearing her talk about Matt. I'm not sure if he likes her or not... but he is an absolute sweetheart. made me wish i could have a chance with a guy like him... well, a chance with James... I mean, I know it won't happen, and I've resigned myself to that now... I think I need to get over myself and concentrate on other things... *sigh*

But I felt like I belonged. everyone was asking when I was off - counting down for me - not in a yeah you're leaving lets party type way. then when I left everyone was all 'cya Jem' 'bye Jem' i just felt accepted etc. it was nice. And just while I was working people talkin to me and stuff... and all these are people I haven't gone to school with. Even Simon - who thinks he's god's gift to the world asked me when I was off and was talking to me. It was really nice. Anway... all I need now is for James to turn up and profess his undying love etc. *laughs* In my dreams maybe!

P.O.D. - Alive |

Everyday is a new day
I'm thankful for every breath I take
I won't take it for granted ( I won't take it for granted)
So I learn from my mistakes
It's beyond my control sometimes it's best to let go,
whatever happens in this lifetime
So I trust in love ( So I trust in love )
You have given me peace of mind
I, I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I, I feel so alive (I feel so alive)
For the very first time( For the very first time)
And I think I can fly
Sunshine upon my face (Sunshine upon my face)
A new song for me to sing
Tell the world how I feel inside
Even though it might cost me everything
Now that I know this is beyond my control
'cause I could never turn my back away
Now that I see you (Now that I see you)
I can never look away
I, I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I, I feel so alive (I feel so alive)
For the very first time (For the very first time)
And I think I can fly
Now that I know you
I could never turn my back away
And now that I see you
I could never look away
And now that I know you
I could never turn my back away
And now that I see you
I believe no matter what they say
I, I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I, I feel so alive(I feel so alive)
For the very first time(For the very first time)
And I think I can fly
I, I feel so alive (I feel so alive)
For the very first time(For the very first time)
And I think I can fly
I, I feel so alive (I feel so alive)
For the very first time(For the very first time)
And I think I can fly
And I think I can fly

Eskimo Joe - Turn Up Your Stereo |

James is back. Suddenly he was online this afternoon. I had been looking foward to him coming back... and there he was... and not talking to me. i left it a while, then talked to him - and there was no 'how've your weeks wirthout me been?' or any joking about that... straight into his windsurfing talk. I mean I knew the whole time that I didn't have a chance, I guess it just hurts for it to actually be like this...
She summed it up pretty well... I don't know her or anything, but it makes sense...

Incubus - Circles |

I'm not a normal teenager. I have no friends. I've never had a normal relationship... I'm so sick of everything... I've tried to be happy but I can't be happy knowing that I'm not loved. That no one thinks of me as beautiful, or special. I don't know what it is that I'm doing wrong. I'm not overly - anything - yet I feel like I'm a mamoth. maybe its because of all the transitions in my life - changing schools, lost friends for their leaving in grade ten, people moving away for university... I don't know. I hate being left alone with my thoughts like this. I become this pessimistic bitch. I can't stop thinking about my problems and imperfections. The problem is that when I'm alone and shitty are the only times people try to make contact.

To see you when I wake up
Is a gift I didn?t think could be real.
To know that you feel the same as I do
is a three-fold, utopian dream.
You do something to me that I can?t explain.
so would I be out of line if i said,
I miss you(?)
I see your picture,
I smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine.
You have only been gone ten days,
but already I?m wasting away.
I know I?ll see you again
whether far or soon.
But I need you to know that I care.
and, I miss You.
