So I've been thinking of some stuff. I'm not sure what made me decide to write it all down, but after all that thinking I figured I'd better. Some of it felt important and I didn't want to forget it.
So here's the stuff I came up with. I may add to the list later on, but for now, this is what I have. Get ready for some brilliant shit here.
Yeah, right.
1. When you make a habit of exaggerating, even a little, people tend not to believe you even when you tell the truth. (Learned that one in fifth year)
2. Some people in this world are assholes. That doesn't mean everyone is an asshole.
3. If you act like an asshole, you are more likely to be treated as one, even by the non-assholes.
4. I’m not as big of a loser as the assholes think I am (I owe that one to Maddy, Sean, Geoff, and Dan )
5. A really good friend won’t stab you in the back. (also owed to M,S,G&D)
6. I know I'm messed up. Whether it's okay or not really isn't the point.
7. Being messed up doesn't mean I can take it out on everyone else.
8. If that girl in Design says hi again, it's okay to say hi back and maybe ask if she wants to grab a cuppa.
9. If I want to kiss Maddy, that’s okay.
10. I miss being on a team. I probably can’t start a Quidditch team here, but maybe there’s something else I can join.
Yeah, a lot of thinking. And the problem with thinking that much is it just gives me more to think about.
Like Maddy. What do I really want to do with her? Well, I know what I want to do, but do I want to pursue it? Yeah, I do. But what does that really mean? For one, I think it means I'd rather be with her than Isabella. Isabella's cool and all, but I don't know. Something about Maddy makes it different. It makes me different. I don't feel so messed up around her and even the parts that still are messed up don't feel like it's a bad thing.
And, okay, so what about that girl in Design? She's cute. She asked me if I had a spare pencil a few weeks ago and then last week needed to look at my book because she forgot hers. Geoff insists that means she's got a thing for me, and I asked him what he was smoking because it must have been some good shit. If she does or not, she's cute and I guess I won't ever find out if I don't do something about it, right?
And the team thing. Am I nuts? That's a given (#6). Am I a glutton for punishment? Maybe. But sometimes I feel all I do is study and work, work and study. I need to do something else, right? My grades are good. I can afford to do something else. I just have to figure out what's out there because everyone else here has been playing those things since they were kids. I can't play cricket and haven't played football since third grade. The rugby team hates me so that's a big no. Okay, not the whole team. See #2. Henderson's roommate isn't all that bad, but I'd still like to avoid that group.
Maybe I should talk to Maddy about some of this.
