I should be studying

"The best thing, though, in that museum was that everything always stayed right where it was. Nobody'd move. You could go there a hundred thousand times, and that Eskimo would still be just finished catching those two fish, the birds would still be on their way south, the deers would still be drinking out of that water hole […]. Nobody'd be different. The only thing that would be different would be you. Not that you'd be so much older or anything. It wouldn't be that exactly. You'd just be different, that's all. You'd have an overcoat on this time. Or that kid that was your partner in line last time had got scarlet fever and you'd have a new partner. Or you'd have a substitute taking the class, instead of Miss Aigletinger. Or you'd heard your mother and father having a terrific fight in the bathroom. Or you'd just passed by one of those puddles in the street with gasoline rainbows in them. I mean you'd be different in some way – I can't explain what I mean. And even if I could, I'm not sure I'd feel like it."

When I was 4 and Princess Diaries came out, I wanted to be Mia. I didn't realize that she was being portrayed as unglamorous. To me Mia seemed like the most glamorous being in the world. She was a teenager for chrissake! Boy was I wrong about teenagers. My teenage years didn't turn out the way I expected them to when I was 4.

Right now I'm having exams at school and I should be studying Chem. But instead I'm blogging. So easily tempted. I also at a load of chips and pizza today after eating healthy all week. UGH LAURA.

Ever since I read "The Catcher in the Rye" last summer, I have felt sentimental towards gasoline puddles. I really really really liked the book. I didn't relate to Holdens thought of action, but I could understand it. He reminded me of myself (how I feel on the inside) but also my brother (the stupid shit he does) and some other teens I know. I kind of want to marry Holden. And Michael Moscovitz (Robert Schwartsman in Princess Diaries).

  1. I've been meaning to read Catcher in the Rye! I wanted to be Mia Thermopolis too :D She was my hero...she kind of still is.

    Hah, I promise to invite you when I get married to him. :} I hope you feel better, I feel alright at this moment but I don't know about tomorrow or the next day. Society has made me this way.
    I really like the entire album from Hole called Live Through This. It's kind of punky and grungy and she yells a lot and it's amazing. My favorite songs on that album are Miss World, Violet, and Jennifer's Body.

    I like your layout too. I'm going to copy it slightly. :}
