txt here, txt there...

so... i'm sitting here txting maddy and half watching reaper. i have (thankfully) finished my homework and should prolly be getting in the shower, but what's the fun in that? i just thought i'd update, because the first entertaining thing has happened around me since the lifelight tour concert. okay, we have had a laundry chute in our bathroom since we moved in, but we've never used it. now we know why. my sister just trying to send to some of her clothes do the great abyss down below (not hell, my basement) and the clothes got stuck halfway there. unfortunately this created a little bit of a pickle for the rekkedahl family. my mom was ticked off, my sister was ticked off (cuz she was ticked at) and my brother was ticked off at the world and every ticked off person in it. but, being the little problem solver that he is, he casually went outside (not with out some cursing), grabbed part of the "easy step" cinder-block that him and the posse had demolished after school, and sent it down the chute with thunderous booms. needless to say, the clothes came out, but i don't think we'll be using that method of laundry washing ever again. maybe we'll leave a note for the next family that moves in. keep them from getting any seemingly smart ideas...

[just a little visual reference for those of you "dunder heads" out there. now just imagine it in peices...]

[welcome.]

navigating around the school hallways and seeing the people walk by, i look into their faces. i notice their hair color, whether they wear glasses, what color eyes they have, who they walk with... its corny, but i try to look past all of that, too. once and awhile its nice for someone as shy as me to pass another person in the hall, a complete stranger no less, who dares to make eye contact and sends my heart into flutters. i can't help thinking, "that person saw me." but its not really the act of "seeing" itself, its more the act of "searching," that means most to me. i feel lost. i feel disposable; a picture frame that gets a scratch across the glass and is thrown away, just to be replaced. i don't really have a problem with that, i don't feel like i need to be pitied or ... that i need to seek attention. its the replacement that bothers me. i want to offer something that no one else can, i just haven't found that thing yet. this is just the ramblings of a high school no one who likes to watch rather then do. i like to think of myself as rather quiet, yet excitable and fun to be around. but there's always that underlying feeling of unease and awkwardness, that i've only been able to overcome a few times in my life. i don't want to change who i am. i don't want others to pretend to see in me what they don't. i want people to see the bad side of me, and spend the time searching for the good. i look for the best in others, and often times face the flaws in myself. welcome to my public diary...
