I Smart

I’m done.

DI

The one practice I skip, the change to a new script, new set, and new music, two weeks before the competition.  Screw this.

Yay!

Lexi is back.  Finally.  I missed her so much.  But she is back.  Last night was great after school.  She was happy, I was happy, and it was just like it used to be.  I’m in love!

Response to Rejection

This was a customer response I found on thinkgeek:

The next time you get a rejection letter from a hoped-for employer or publisher, just send them the following: 
Dear [name of the person who signed the rejection letter], 
Thank you for your letter of [date of the rejection letter]. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me [employment with your firm]. 
This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals. Despite [name of the co or agency that sent you this letter]’s outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting [applicants], I find that your rejection does not meet with my needs at this time. 
Therefore, I will initiate [employment] with your firm immediately following [graduation/job change, etc. — get creative here]. I look forward to working with you. 
Best of luck in rejecting future [candidates]. 
Sincerely, 
[your name]

Sometimes I want to just think and listen to music and try to find that perfect song that describes how I’m feeling.  But that song never seems to play.

…

I’ve been feeling lots of off and on feelings about Lexi recently.  I still love her, I think.  But that dream about Sofia keeps bothering me.  I seem to not be able to stop thinking about either of them.  I don’t know what to do.  I’m confused, and I don;t want to let go of Lexi and I still love her (I think) and Sofia is a great friend, but I’ve liked her on and off for a while and it wouldn’t be surprising if it came back because she’s funny and nice and attractive but so is Lexi, Lexi even more so, but she doesn’t seem so funny anymore and likes to fight but when we are not fighting she is the sweetest person ever, sometimes too sweet becoming overly cling which is another problem and I know that all relationships have problems and that you just need to work through them but I don’t know if we can or will or want to or if she really loves me as much as she claims and what if she is having the same thoughts that I am should we end it even though I really don’t want to and I really love her (I’m sure of it now, kind of) and so yeah.  That was a really long sentence.  

Dreams

I kissed Sofia in my dream.  I don’t know why.  I know that I liked it. We were in my upstairs, we were watching home videos and such for some reason, and I kissed her.  More than once.  And I though about Lexi when I did it, yet I did it again.  What is this? 

Nice ways to get a point across

1. Thank you. We’re all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.
2. The fact that no one understands you doesn’t mean you’re an artist.
3. I don’t know what your problem is, but I’ll bet it’s hard to pronounce.
4. Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.
5. I have plenty of talent and vision. I just don’t care.
6. I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid.
7. What am I? Flypaper for freaks!?
8. I’m not being rude. You’re just insignificant.
9. I’m already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.
10. I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.
11. It’s a thankless job, but I’ve got a lot of Karma to burn off.
12. Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.
13. No, my powers can only be used for good.
14. How about never? Is never good for you?
15. I’m really easy to get along with once you people learn to worship me.
16. You sound reasonable…Time to up my medication.
17. I’ll try being nicer if you’ll try being smarter.
18. I’m out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message…
19. I don’t work here. I’m a consultant.
20. Who me? I just wander from room to room.
21. My toys! My toys! I can’t do this job without my toys!
22. It might look like I’m doing nothing, but at the cellular level I’m really quite busy.
23. At least I have a positive attitude about my destructive habits.
24. You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.
25. I see you’ve set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.
26. Someday, we’ll look back on this, laugh nervously and change the subject.
