Boys?

Wow, I never realized how long it had actually been since I’d been on here. I know, I said I would be up here more often and I haven’t been, but quite frankly I just haven’t even thought about it. Nor have I needed it really. But lately my life’s been getting a little crazy, and I think it’d be more healthy for me to have some way to vent once in a while.

Let’s see where to start. Well, something that’s always on the forefront of my mind is, as with most teenage girls, a boy. And it’s not going to be any soppy typical teenage LUST story either (I hope) because the point is… Well I’ve never really felt this way about a boy before. I can’t explain it well enough to really get the message across, but he’s brilliant, funny, charming and in my opinion good looking. I find myself anxiously waiting sometimes for him to get on the computer, just to talk to him. And it sends shivers up my spine everytime he touches me, even in the slightest of ways. Gosh this sounds so cliche! But it’s true! I’ve always heard about these sorts of things, in romance novels and in movies. But, to actually experienc it… is so… thrilling! He’s just fantastic in nearly every way! Sometimes just knowing that he’s going to come over and sit with us at the lunch table I get so nervous! And it’s silly, why should I be nervous? But I’m so excited at the same time too! My heart starts beating faster and I just… It’s obvious there’s a physical effect… And that’s just the thing. When I say I’ve never felt this way about a boy, I mean I’ve never felt so physically AND emotionally attracted to someone before! Even just talking about it makes me smile. He knows it too, well. Maybe not to that extent, but he knows I like him and he likes me too! Which is great! We’ve been talking about dating for a while!

But there’s one thing holding us back… His family is Indian and very religious… they don’t believe in him dating, nor letting him have basically any freedoms at all.  And it’s hard, because we can’t really go do anything together outside of school. And because he can’t do anything with his parent’s permission he started sneaking out. I know it’s not good, but it’s not good for him to be sheltered like this either!

This is where the problems begin… He got caught sneaking out. And they pretty much took away any freedom he had in the beginning. He can’t go ANYWHERE outside of school now. It really, really, REALLY sucks. (For lack of a better word) It basically puts a slash on any hopes we had of a future until college… It’s very frustrating.  But I’m not giving up! I care too much about him, I want to work all this out! Even if that takes a while! So, no matter what I’m not giving up hope! I know how much it’s stressing him out, so I’m going to do everything I possibly can to help.

Well, I do have to go now. A little feedback would be very nice, thank you so much for listening to me rant. :) I feel a little better.

Christmas Giving

Today, an amazing thing happened to my family. It may seem kind of corny to some of you, but I don’t think it could have come at a better time.

We’ve been struggling with finances lately, what with the coming of Christmas and my mom getting a new job. To say the least we’ve been behind, and hardly scrounging up the money to pay the bills, much less groceries and other things.

Most of you probably don’t know this, as I am new here, but our highschool choir is going to be the State Representative at the Lincoln Bicentennial Memorial Celebration (what a mouthful!) Which means singing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. We will spend three days in Washington DC seeing the sights and such things, but as you can imagine, this is going to cost a lot of money. Besides paying for the bus and everything each person has to raise 500 dollars. For both me and my sister.

Like I said, money’s tight. But I’ll get to the point now. Today my Dentist (a small one, no major company or anything) called my dad up there to have a meeting. He thought it was about a problem tooth that he had that needed a crown. But when he spoke to them, it turned out that my dentist was starting this new thing where they would pick a family out of all their patients and try to give them a better Holiday. That happened to be our 6 person family who has gone to them our whole lives. (they watched us kids grow up)

They paid the down payment for my sister’s braces that we couldn’t afford. They also put 100 dollars into both our electric bill and gas bill accounts. Then they handed him 4 Visa cards with one hundred dollars on each. And a huge basket of Groceries.

I cannot say thank you enough for such a gift. And I really truely feel blessed. It brought tears to my eyes I was so happy.

And I think, if all of us would just help at least one person out, give them a smile, show just a little bit of kindness, this world would be such a better place. So this Holiday season I encourage you to give just a little bit. Donate clothes to a local shelter, help a family in need. So that the true feeling of Christmas is not lost, and everyone can feel as blessed as I do. You may even find it will make you happier, and perhaps you will find that you want to do it all the time, not just the Holidays. Which would undoubtedly be amazing. Thank you so much, and Happy Holidays!

Hey I just recently got one of these, I figured it’d be nice to actually have a real blog. I used to have one a LONG time ago, and you know, I really actually miss it. Plus this place is so much more safisticated (sp?) than the other place I went to. I think I’ll really like it here. It’s nice.
