children laughing, people passing.

children laughing, people passing,
meeting smile after smile,
and on every corner you'll hear-

silver bells, silver bells,
it's Christmas time in the city...


yay! christmas! (was approximately 3 days agooo...) sorry i'm a little late with this post, i haven't been on the computer a whole lot this past week. so. my christmas was pretty good, how was yours? :D we didn't do the scary movie thing again this year, which puts and end to what i was hoping was going to be the 2nd annual christmas scary movie experience. oh well, we'll try again next year. instead we drove my grandma up to a little bar & grill in BlueEarth, South Dakota. Ever heard of it? no, me either. we met up with my uncle, aunt and 3 cousins to exchange presents and well... grandma, so that we could hang with our relatives and grams could get up to Winona, Minnisota without us having to drive her the whole way. it was fun there. except we had to vegitate for 30 mins before we could even order our food because they had to start up the ovens and wait for them to get hot. no biggy though, they opened just for us. on christmas day. nice people in ol' BlueEarth...

[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...
