I broke down during yearbook today. Not my proudest moment, especially given the circumstances. That class is filled with everyone and following Mrs. B’s pages tutorial, I lost it. To most of the class I was invisible, that was the way I wanted it, I put my head down and just let the tears cover the desk. And dear L didn’t ask me questions, she just gave me her hand, and I knew she...
Let me tell you what I will NOT be doing tonight:
Watching the knockoff “Skins” that MTV has most likely ruined. Instead I’ll just wait for the ever trustworthy British season to begin.

Rowing was a huge part of my life. When everything in my life began down the slippery slope I am now stuck on, it was my escape. I learned to love the creek of the oar, the rush of the blade connecting through the water until it springs out. The girls, although mostly clique-y, became my family. They got it. They understood the feeling of legs connecting with blade, they understood what it was...
Dear Twilight, I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over my amusement park.

Day Three
If you had 24 hours to live, what would you do?
If I had 24 hours to live, I would go down to the boathouse. I would take out a single in the middle of the night, and row myself to the middle of the lake. There I would like to just listen, to the stroke of the boat, the water, life. I would want the people I love to come down with me, taking out their own singles and seeing finally what it is...

"Will you support me?"
Today began seemingly uneventful, I went to guitar played for about ten minutes then got bored and wandered around the school until I decided Mr. K might actually have noticed I was gone, he didn’t he was moving pianos in and out of the class room today. English was boring, what is new Ms. O thinks we’re all toddlers. But then, third period came. I know I have already elaborated on how...

"personal letters"
In the center writing class that I am a peer tutor for, they are learning to write personal letters. They follow a basic formula, talk about yourself, the person you’re writing to and then express feelings towards them. More often than not, it turns out to be; start each sentence with “I like,” bombarde the person with questions and then write “I hope to see you soon”...

Usually this makes my entire life, today it was only a band aid. And, like most temporary things I’ll have to rip it off before I’m ready and feel everything that is hiding under the band aid. At least the lipgloss smells like vanilla.
Some days, I just want to cry.
Tomorrow they’re putting in notice that my brother is dropping out. Saying it out loud - or I guess typing it here makes it that much scarier. Its been over a year and a half since he last when to school continuously. You never expect your sibling to drop out, and as a freshman its only stories of “that one kid” but now its my brother.
And I don’t know what to do about it,...
So, L and I probably failed our Calculus tests today. And half the class cheated, I never realized until today how much prism kids cheat, its a lot incase you weren’t sure. And, we may have both wanted to tear those stupid black and white tests up. But we didn’t. And we left calm and collected. And then continued to spend nearly all of our money on things we probably don’t need,...
We all have those days we feel so inadequate; like nothing we ever do is enough.
Monday was one of those days for me.
But, its not the fact that I felt alone that amazes me. It is the amazing power of support. I think, when we least expect it (but most need it) people step up. Mine happened in history class - I went in having a less than wonderful day, expecting a quiz and a boring day with Mr....

The one thing I’ve always known is that each day I’ll have at least one hand to hold. Some days I will be the one to seek the hand, take all five fingers and wrap my five around theirs. Giving some subtle sign of embrace. There are those others, where my lanky hand will be plucked from its lap, and wether it is covered in snot or encased in tears that hand won’t drop mine. Its...
