A $300 Dollar Week

Sounds great, huh? $300 in under 7 seven days isn't too shabby for a teenager, you can buy toys, like another set of poi, kevlar for fire poi/swords/staff, practice sai and throwing knives ( I've been told that I have a worrying wish list, mwahahaha!)

What you haven't considered is that maybe since most teens earn only minimum wage I've been working a lot of hours, plus school and helping people move and trying to get letters sent out (which didn't happen :(

I don;t really know what I'm trying to say here...we'll go with: don;t let your life become TOO busy, it just makes you stressed.

Reality...

Okay, I'm just going to say this once, so pay attention...reality sucks. Reality means no dreams ever come true, it means that imagination is that cute game we used to play when we were three, it means that the world is a cold hard place and that to have any kind of life we must be the same.
People always say "get your head out of the clouds", "that's the way it is", or -my favorite- "this is serious". Hahaha! I love it when people say that! If you know me you know that I'm probably laughing at something or other, or, if not, soon will be! While some people say that I'm insane I argue that the opposite is true, laughter helps us to keep our sanity.
Back to the point. Reality equals hopelessness, when you have that mindset of "this is the way things are" or "this is reality" then you have resigned yourself to your lot in life, you have decided that "the box" is too hard to break out of.

Reality

reality is used to much
misused too much
by reality TV
by magazines 
and by the darn society 

they say that I'm in denial
that I'm living in the clouds
they say I need to buckle down
they say I need to focus
or, my favorite:
to get serious 

Yeah, whatever
I say that the opposite is true
the world's in denial
they're living in a fog
trapped in a box
taking everything too seriously 

what is reality but what society makes it?
they say I live in fantasy 
fine
fantasy beats reality hollow
and I'd rather live in my fantasy 
than the world's reality 

Fantasy is our dreams
it is our imagination
ingenuity
genius 
and our hope 

while the world lives it's reality 
we'll live
laugh
and love 
together in our fantasy.

Letters letters everywhere... :)

And it has been a really long time since I've last posted, (face>palm) Anywho...
I've been (attempting) to clean my room and was kind of looking over my desk and saw the plethora of letters I've received from the wonderful people from conserve who now are scattered all over creation. I really need to find a box to put them all in, that'll be part of the (extensive) project of cleaning my room :P
I love letters; talking to people via email, or chat, or even google+ videoing (though there are merits to that, you get to see their wonderful faces as you talk to them, second best to seeing them in person... Your Face Is Delicious!!!!! I miss Russ :)
Seriously, I don't think that i'm the only person who does this... and what if I was? But I love being able to reread them whenever I have the need. I can just see their faces and hear them speaking when I read the words.
Also a special note: Congrats Mei-Jing for winning you robotics competition! Good luck in St. Louis!!!

Disjointed Rambling

So Mattie and Mei-Jing are together and are both going to go to the Yates home tonight. Yeah, two of the most amazing people I've ever met are together and having a blast talking, walking, staying up late and singing and probably loads of other stuff I haven't heard about. Am I a little jealous? No, of course not, why would I be?...okay, yeah :P But, hey Cest la vie (and, yes MJ, I spelled in right this time, and, yes, I do think it fits into the context :) Well, they're having a great time and I'm happy for them.
I watched Maeve's video chat thing that she posted and it kinda reminded me of myself; watching as others you love get together and have a great time. You love them, so you're happy for them, but at the same time you wish you were there. Well, I still get to video chat with them and chat every once in a while, and I'll see them in person again someday (crossed fingers!) Anywho, I'll stop moaning.
I think that I're figured out what has been bugging me; I'm bored. I need something to fill my time...Guitar!
Yeah this post is very late, I started it then had to pause and one thing led to another until...you get the idea. :P
