i never write in this anymore!

Hmm what to say what to say.
Thanksgiving is in a few days, I can't wait to eat with my family... That'll be delicious. Then only 16 school days till Christmas break and the end of the semester! Thank God I'll be out of Chemistry. Speaking of Christmas, how about I make a list?

LIST

Peek/phone
iPod/bose headphones
More khaki pants/jeans
Polaroid film
Canvases
Webcam
Third Eye Blind's new CD
Wireless keyboard/mouse combo
Quentin Tarantino movies
You

I doubt I'll get half of that, but if i get you, I'll be fine without any presents.

i'm not ready

i don't know what to do about anything at this moment.
i don't want to end up like the rest of my family.
i don't think enough about consequences.
i don't like my life right now.
i don't know if leaving would make things better or worse.
i don't want these stupid wisdom teeth to grow in.
i don't know where i'm going.
i want to grow up faster.

God has been doing great things in my life lately.
I'm pretty sure i have a job... I just have to get trained and all that good stuff. I'm going to a wedding or something this weekend to make sure its what i wanna do. I'm pretty sure it is...

My weekend was awesome!

Friday, Kenna picked me up from school and we hung out for a while. fun as always. after that i came home and chase and leslie came over. equally satisfying. when they left i actually wrote an essay and did some chemistry homework!

Saturday, me and sam went fishing, but the water was only about 3 feet deep... we didn't realize this until we'd been fishing for over an hour. afterward we went to ampfest, it was pretty sweet! we saw flame! theeen, after that... we went to bdubbs and saw bald fury. sam's parents paid for my dinner...

Sunday I got up and went to sunday school and then regular church. It was nice, i'm glad i'm going again. After the service i went to lunch with the turkals... they paid for me again. i feel like such a mooch and i don't really know what to do because i don't want to be rude and reject their invitation to lunch, cause i really do like going... but i never have money. that's why i need the job as a DJ. at 2 me and sam went back to church cause we thought that festival was today, but it turns out its next week. most of the people in praise band were there. it was nice to hang out with all of them.

wish me luck this weekend with the DJ stuff!

P.S. - i'm an "editor" for the PVBC Firehouse blog and i'm sure i'll occasionally post something - you can find a link to it on my profile

i still...

...wanna learn how to dj!

i really need a/some turntable(s).

life is so frustrating right now. no money, no job to get money, and only two days a week to relax. and even on the days im supposed to be able to relax i'm swamped in homework. it makes me so mad.

friday night i went to leslie's party. it was so much fun! i was the only person that wasnt 18 or older, though, but it wasn't that weird. saturday i left chase's when i woke up at like 2, and then went home and slept some more. then i went to my cousin's house. sunday, i went to church (finally!) and then sam and laura and i went fishing. it was a blast! i caught my first fish - a pufferfish! it was impossible to cut open...

tomorrow i'm going fishing... hopefully school won't get in the way...

frére jacques frére jacques...

i love french. i wish i knew more...

voulez-vous couchez avec moi? se swa? haha

anyways. school pretty much sucks lately. 68 in chemistry (go me). english is going down. i wouldn't be surprised if i failed! it's a hard class! and mr tolhurst has a newfound hate for me due to the fact that i'm barely ever at school cause i can't wake up on time. us history is a breeze for the most part, and mr smith likes me cause i go to teen court. yearbook... is yearbook.

tonight i have church. i'm running the soundboard and computer. i decided i like doing it, i just hate being restricted behind the desk and not being able to socialize.

my dog, roxy, isn't feeling so hot. she's been laying on the couch all day and she won't move, and if we try to move her, she screams. i feel so bad. she can't move her neck. i think we're gonna take her to the vet tomorrow.

but, i have to go get ready for church. and i should probably blankly stare at my chemistry homework for a little while and just say i tried it.

adieu.

The Dollar Man

I climbed out of the church van after a mere 30 minutes on the highway for yet another stop. Of course, Dean had to pee. Everyone else was taking an hour to get out of the van so I called Dean over and told him I'd walk to the bathroom with him. What started as a walk ended as a run after he teased me and said he could beat me in a race to the building. It was around 12:15am, and the grass was wet from the rain; wet enough for our feet to slip on if we made a mistake with our fancy footwork. Sure enough, I tripped over my own foot and almost fell, but I caught myself before my face became unrecognizably smashed on the sidewalk in front of us. We ran through the automatic doors and into the bathroom, ignoring the strange, cacophonous beeping sound coming from some other part of the building.

The lighting of the restroom was fairly dull, and several of the luminous fluorescent lights flickered every thirty seconds or so. One of the stalls was roped off, so I went in the one adjacent to it while Dean used a urinal. As I shifted my arm to flush the toilet, I hear a man's voice that made me freeze for a second to listen.

"Did one of you two drop something?" I thought to myself of the childhood idiom about not talking to strangers and decided this was the best way to go, hoping he would just go away. I flush the toilet and walk out of the stall, noticing Dean wasn't at the urinal anymore. I rinsed my hands off and turned to make my way out the bathroom quickly, but I was stopped along my path by a tall, blonde, extremely groomed man in the doorway. His tucked in shirt and khaki shorts complete with leather belt suggested that he wasn't middle class.

"Did you drop a dollar out there?" The shock of his sudden appearance and the seemingly struggled attempt he made to look me in the eyes gave me quite the shock, so it took me a minute to gather myself and say quickly nod my head 'no' and dash out of the bathroom.

I see Dean through the crystal clear glass doors and hurry outside.

"Did you see that creepy man in there?" I asked him.

"What creepy man? I didn't see no creepy man."

"He was in there! He had like, glasses and blonde hair and he was real tall. He asked if one of us dropped a dollar."

"Oh. I saw him walkin' in on my way out. But I didn't hear him ask for a dollar or nothin'," Dean told me, looking a little spaced out. He ran over to our other friend Walt, who was just finally making it to the bathroom with the rest of our youth group trailing slowly behind. The two of them goofed off while I tried to tell Walt about the creepy man in the restroom. James, our youth leader, Donna, his wife, and the other four guys and girls went into the building to use the bathroom, so I followed them inside.

I waited in the lobby area as the lovely smell of Pine-Sol fresh floors filled my nostrils. My thoughts wandered to the familiar Pine-Sol commercials when I was abruptly knocked out of my daydreams by the same creepy man as he exited the bathroom. I intently watched as he walked in front of me to a brunette woman that had just came out of the opposite bathroom. They wrapped their arms around each other and walked out of the building, straight through the automatic doors and into the darkness.

When everyone finally came out of the bathroom, we went over to the vending machines to get some snacks for the remaining two hours of our ride back home. A cop car slowly cruised by and I stared at it, wanting to yell and get the policeman to come talk to me so I could tell him of what I just experienced. I came to the conclusion that doing that wouldn't make much sense, seeing as I had no evidence that this man was, well, whatever horrible thing he was besides "he gave me the heebie jeebies." We got our snacks and went back to load the van up and hopefully make it home with no more stops.

Donna offered to drive the rest of the way since James was obviously tired, he had been drearily blinking his eyes the whole time before we stopped. I glanced at the clock before laying down in the seat I had all to myself. 12:37am. I just wanted to be home so I could finally go to sleep. I gradually drifted into a partial sleep. I heard a familiar song in the background, but I wasn't awake enough to recognize it.

I was having a dream that I was in my room, and I had just woken up at 7am, ready for another school day. All of a sudden, the room was shaking. It wasn't like the shaking was only seen in the dream, I felt the shaking. Eventually it became so violent that it jolted me out of my nap.

Donna was screaming. The whole van was rocking back and forth, and shortly, everyone was woken from their sleep and they, too, joined in with the chorus of shrill screams. I still didn't know why the van was rocking back and forth, and I didn't until I felt a hard slam on the side of the van. A small white car was ramming us, edging us more and more into what appeared to be an infinite black abyss. The rumble strip taunted us as the car rammed into us more and more, and we were eventually thrown into the vastness of the ditch. And then, everything went black.

I peered through half-opened eyes until what just happened finally came to me. I was on the ceiling of the overturned vessel of Jesus lovers. Moans, cries of pain, and the sound of crunching glass filled the van. I called out to the group. No one responded. I shook Donna. Nothing. Then James. Nothing. Walt. Still nothing. My head throbbed as I attempted to get up. Everything being upside down certainly didn't help. Sharp pains constricted my arm's movement. Blood covered my beige shirt. Tears were slowly filling my eyes. This was bad. Really, really bad. I just wanted to be home...

I didn't realize it but at some point I had passed out again. I don't know how long it was. I looked around me; everyone was still crumpled up, and I noticed only one or two shown signs of breathing. I tried shaking everyone again but there were still no reactions. I had regained a bit of strength during the time I was out, at least enough to drag myself across the mess of what was once a window. I pulled the door handle. Of course, it was locked. I laid there for a minute, breathing heavily, and then pulled myself up and unlocked the door at the top. I pulled the handle and toppled out onto the damp ground.

It was extremely wet. I rolled over and onto my back and gasped for air. It felt like I had been punched in the stomach and had the wind knocked out of me, yet the wind wasn't coming back. I wiped the sweat off of my brow, collecting almost-dried blood along with it. I don't know how long I laid there, staring at the tree tops lining the ditch and the stars that dotted the night sky. Until I heard footsteps. I turned my head over, and the only thing in my line of sight was khaki shorts. My heart sunk. I heard the man's voice and felt that I had no chance left whatsoever.

"Hey, are you alright?" I don't know if I could have forced a 'no' out of my mouth, but I chose not to. He walked over and looked down on me with a disturbing smile covering his face. He kicked my side. As I coughed blood came out of my throat and onto my face. He laughed. I just wanted to die. He pulled a knife out of his pocket and bent over far enough to drag it along my cheek. Suddenly, I saw flashing red and blue lights over the edge of the ditch. Never had I felt so relieved. An officer stepped to the edge and yelled at the creep to put his hands on his head and get on his knees, and then jumped down and ran to my side. He told me everything would be okay. I didn't know what to think. Was I dreaming?

I awoke in a hospital bed. The curtains were open and the sunlight gleamed into the room. A nurse came in and told me I was fine and I only had a few cuts and bruises. I asked if everyone else was okay and she assured me that they were, the worst injury among all of them being a broken arm. Throughout the day I spoke with policeman, doctors, and a handful of nurses. When it got dark out a doctor came in and told me that it was okay to leave anytime. I left the hospital the next morning.

A few weeks later I walked into a fast food restaurant for lunch. The smell of Pine-Sol fresh floors filled my nostrils yet again and my heart skipped a beat. I ignored it. I then stepped up to the counter and placed my order.

"I just want a plain double cheeseburger."

"Okay sir. That'll be... One dollar." That familiar, frightening face looked at me from underneath the brim of the McDonald's hat. I tried to scream but nothing escaped my lungs. And then, everything went black.

school BLOWS.

i have never had a harder time in school. and it hasn't even been a full week... today i left early because my allergies were bothering me. i felt like i was going to die in us history. so i left in english... i missed advanced functions, which i really hate. i requested a schedule change to drop it and get early release, but i haven't heard anything back yet.

my birthday is in 11 days! i want a new phone.

and then caswell is like, three weeks away!

and then after that if things work out, i'm going to see chessa for a weekend :)

things are going okay, but i just haven't felt like myself lately. at least i have things to look forward to, i suppose...

just keep dreaming

i feel really weird. i'm a junior, and i'm in smart people classes, and school starts tuesday. i guess i haven't thought about it that much... i'm kinda scared. school stresses me out enough without hard classes, but at least i won't have to deal with annoying dumb people anymore.

today i went to the beach with molly and karly and we boogie boarded. it was so fun! then later tonight me and kenna hung out and we went to see savannah in her snowie thing at the mall. then we went back to kenna's house and she did special effect make up and gave me a black eye and a few scratches on my face. i thought it was really cool. she's going to school for film studies, which seems like fun. really open ended, too. i like things that give you options. i just don't work well with too many options seeing as i'm the most indecisive person in the world. haha.

anyway, school! no no no. just no. i don't wanna get up early. i can't even get up at 10 for church on sunday. but at least i'll have something to do besides sit up late on facebook and watch the nanny on nick at night. i also have a feeling that this year's gonna be pretty swell. i think i might actually try :)

ANGER. i feel like breaking something, or someone. lately everyone has getting on my nerves. i'm starting to think i'm not a people person and i should just move to the mountains and live off of a steady diet of bugs and roadkill from the nearest highway. i'm sick of wilmington.

you're the pizza of my eye

not once have i ever felt so hurt, depressed, pathetic, miserable, or nauseous, and i wouldn't have it any other way. because even though it brings so many bad feelings, there's that one little feeling that is so completely and totally worth it.

love.

i miss it already.

to me, there's no better feeling in the world than to know that people care for you. that's my weak spot. when the ones that don't even have to care care the most, i break down. i can't take it. it mixes my emotions up and they spill out of the bottle i normally keep them in. i'm sure people have cared for me all my life, but i don't think i've really felt it until this week. the people i was surrounded by, the environment, the overall feeling of happiness... it was more than enough to help me get away for a week. but no matter how long you vacation, you always have to come back, and coming back is the hardest thing to do. basically, this week was amazing. whitewater rafting, great food, bonding(!), and everything else that came with it really made me feel like i was in the right place at the right time for the first time in a while. cheers to the best week of my summer.

now here, have some pictures! :)

do you know what you are getting yourself into?

i'm about to go look for the dow plant again, except this time with brendan, molly, long pants, bugspray and flashlights. maybe this is a stupid idea. but i find the stupidest things the funnest, and what is life without a little bit of risk? besides, it should be worth it. and if not, it'll at least be fun to hang out with them.

i don't want to get chiggers again... pray for me!

and oh- if we find it (which i think we will) there will be pictures!

memories

"we do not remember days, we remember moments."

1) one memory that comes back every year would definitely be my birthday. if you didn't know, it's on 9/11. by the way, i love being called "terrorist". that's the smartest thing i have ever heard! anywho, the memory isss.... it was my eighth birthday party. a few family members were over, and maybe a neighbor or two. i remember everyone trying to act like nothing had happened earlier that day so i wouldn't feel bad. then they turned on the news. i didn't really know anything about what had happened, but when my aunt started crying i knew it was bad. i felt so... awkward. it felt unreal. and now everyone either says i'm lying, that sucks, or i'm a terrorist. the end.

2) i remember one day i came home from school when we were living in kinston. my mom and little brothers were out back in the pool. i leaned out the door and said i'd be there in a minute, and then i went in the kitchen to find something to sip on. i saw a mcdonald's cup on the counter and shook it and it had what looked like a dark drink in it. it actually turned out to be water with ciggarette butts/ashes in it... but my smart self didn't find that out until after taking a big sip.

i'll write more later, i need to take a shower and go to bed so i can get up for church tomorrow.

i just realized...

i write in this blog so much simply because it's what i love to do. no, not blog... haha. write! it's my hobby, i guess. that and art. everyone always tells me all i must do is sit around the computer and paint. so nothing really, right? i think i do more than a lot of people. it's not like i'm a slowly rotting couch potato. i'm doing what i love! i think i'll pursue this "hobby" in the future.

basically, i'm trying to tell you that you can expect plenty more of me writing in my blog multiple times a day. and if you don't like it... well... who said you had to read it?

the more i look back on my life, the more i see miracles.

i'm so happy. the fire in my heart is rekindled each time i go to church, and tonight has set my heart so ablaze that it's tickling the back of my throat. never have i experienced a sermon so powerful that it left me shaking. you know something's good when you shiver and feel the tingles up and down your spine the whole time. it was really emotional and i consider myself lucky to have witnessed it.

it also taught me some new things. satan is everywhere, trying to get at us. from company logos to video games to little kids gumball machines! it's ridiculous. but i know he'll never win. i adopted a pagan tonight - i know that sounds sort of silly - but i think i would be a whole lot better off if i had people praying for me during the hardest times of my life. i know i have a few people that keep me in their prayers, but i can't imagine how empowering it would feel to have a whole room full of people praying for you at once... gah.

p.s. - i'm shaving my head on the retreat. for real! i hate my hair.

EXCITEMENT

doesn't the title of this blog seem exciting? ahh! i am so excited for the youth retreat. eight days! i have a feeling it's going to be the highlight of my summer. i'm glad i'll be away from home. i've never gone to any camp or anything similar before... well besides vbs when i was little but i mean, staying overnight and such. anyways, i am so excited! i don't like swimming in lakes, though... the bottom of them feel gross and freak me out. and then there's the alligator factor... what if i got my leg bit off?

whatever. it's gonna be fun and i can't wait! and i think i'm going to the youth rally tonight, so hopefully that'll be inspirational :)

the beat in my head, it goes oh oh oh ohh

lately, i've been worrying about the future a lot. all i do is worry! i've got two years to figure it out, but aren't these last two years the most important? just the thought of college scares the crap out of me. it took me so long to get where i am, and i don't like the thought of starting completely over. i don't wanna make new friends, i like the ones i have! another question comes to me while on the subject of college. what do i wanna go for?! i think i wanna be a therapist. but then again, maybe i fit more into the slot of the therapist's patient. so, maybe an architect? but i suck at math... when i was little i wanted to be a celebrity chef, but that dream has been smushed due to the recent realization that i can't cook - at all. haha. i would really like to be a journalist/writer but i've heard there's not much money in that profession, and i do wanna move out before i'm 40. i recently discussed this topic with a friend, and we came to the question "if you got the chance to see yourself ten years from now, would you?" at first i really liked this idea. i thought, sure! all my worries would be gone and i could finally let out a big sigh. but no. i was so wrong. say you took this oppurtunity... then wouldn't you worry about how to get there? my mind quickly changed. while pondering the future, i realized that i should just keep my worries in the present. it's not about what's happened or what's going to happen; it's about what's happening.

oh baby give me one more chaaance...

i'm not all WOOHOO about this anymore. it's kind of boring... but my opinion is always changing, so in a week or so i'll be writing eight-paged posts just as usual.

yesterday eric convinced me, sam, walt, austin, and jeff to sing with him in the summer choir. it was fun, but in a strange way. eric has such a lovely voice! later that day i went to my cousin's 11th birthday party. i was looking at the cake, but i could only see part of it because it was partially covered. it looked like it said "Happy 13" so i started freaking out cause i was positive he was only 11. but then i realized that was just the B at the beginning of birthday.

later today i'm going to a pool party for the praise team that i'm not even really on... (?) but it's fine with me. where theres chickfila theres alex! sam's sleeping over after. we're jam pretty hard to J5 now hahaha.

embarrassing confession #1: chick flicks aren't so bad

today was nice. i was with erica from early morning till late afternoon, and even though we didn't do much, it was pretty enjoyable. we watched The Proposal and it was hilarious. then the tear-jerking Notebook. after our moviethon we went outside and played with firecrackers. i don't like them anymore. haha.

tonight i've been home alone since like seven, and i will be for about another hour. i do not like it. i will avoid staying home alone at night time whenever possible from now on. i watched Bride Wars. it wasn't very good. but kate hudson is hot, sooo it was fine by me :P

happy 4th!

yesterday was exciting. i have one chunk of sand still stuck in my eye. the beach was fun, but i hate dirt in my eyes. last night molly came over and we went fourwheeling with jo and cody. it was really fun but i got more dirt in my eyes (haha). when we took molly home around 12, my aunt called saying she wanted us to come over. we got stopped at a roadblock and apparently my mom's license has been revoked because she didn't pay a ticket. the officer told us "i can't watch you drive away from here. you two are gonna have to switch and go." so, that meant i had to drive away from them all. i SUCK at driving. and being so nervous didn't help at all. they didn't even ask who i was or for my permit/license or anything! so stupid.

in spirit of the 4th of july, my cousin's are having a cook out today that i thought wouldn't happen. it'll be SO much fun. siiiike.

don't ever change the way you are

so, today i hung out with a bunch of people, and it made me feel pretty good. i guess i'm a people person but i didn't think i was. first i went to the beach with jessie and samantha, then the pool with austin, and then fourwheeling (?!) with jo'lin, lindsey, and dana. it was a really fun day.

i decided i'm not going to care what people think of me anymore. if you like me you like me, if you don't then you don't. it's that simple. i have my friends and i'm very happy with them. i know who i am, what i want, and my boundaries. no ones going to change that.

lastly, i'm determined to get my permit. i'm going to force someone in my family to take me to school and get my DEC renewed, then to the DMV to fail the test, then home to read that stupid driver's booklet, and then back to pass. i drove today. it scares me, but then again... i'd like to have my license by college. i'm gonna be 17 at the start of my freshman year, so i don't wanna wait till i'm 18 and have to get rides to school. how lame would that be?

we could be heroes

i miss aaron and ethan. i used to hate them so much, and now all i do is miss them. my mom would always say "don't be mean to each other, one day you'll wish you hadn't." i guess i understand what she meant now. i miss playing legos and video games and hide and seek with them. i miss them waking me up way too early to go play with them. i miss sliding down the stairs in a toy box lid, telling them its okay to jump on the bed, and fighting over the last juice box. i miss them coming in my room in the middle of the night because they were scared of the shadows outside. i miss the birthday cards they made for me. i miss chasing roxy around with them. i miss having watergun fights. i miss ethan crying about everything, and aaron always trying to be the tough guy.

i miss my little brothers a whole lot.

sunny with a high of 75

I hate:

twist ties
scrunchies
Ziploc bags
white socks
the scent of diapers
vinegar
slanted lines that are supposed to be straight
chin hair
"sixteen and pregnant"
the word "posh"
self checkouts
teeth
wax
sandpaper

I love:

pointless lists
"scare tactics"
vintage crap
facebook
blowing things up
good pens
being an idiot in general
making people laugh
relient k
india ink
cool breezes
the scent of sharpies, white out, gasoline, books, and clean linen
summer

fingertips have memories

i'm alex, and the reason i made this thing is because livejournal blows, i'm bored, and a couple people i know have one. i'm not really that great; i don't do much... but on the rare occasion that i get up off of my butt i like painting, writing, and the occasional excersise sesh. i'm gonna be a junior next year (scary). and that's pretty much all i have to say.

p.s. - i hate writing about myself
p.s.s - can someone tell me what p.s. stands for? =P
