'cause when i'm with him i am... thinking of you'

so. we started high school, right? and this is the beginning the second week and so i kinda decided that i wanted to get to know as many people as possible.. so i started saying hey to people and all that jazz and i know a lot of people now!! i'm going to be a homeroom rep, so that's cool and me and some other friends are joining the creative writing club, so that's fun. and then starting next semester, i'm taking drama at my school. and then next year as a sophmore, i'm going to take dance at my high school... :)
so i'm involved and i know people and i'm doing extracurriculars outside of school and i'm in really cool classes with really fun teachers and i have friends outside of school that i like to hang out with...

it just feels like there's something missing.
thoughts?

'do you remember we were sitting there by the water...?'

this is not a poem. it's just a letter. sorda.... i don't know. hahah(:

dear bubbles,

don't you remember those good times we had? talking late on gmail. swaying at the 8th grade dance. and the first time you told me we needed to talk? i felt so important. but that's just how you are. no matter what. you always make the person you're talking to feel like they're the only thing that matters. right there. in that moment.
i wish i had your powers.
but i gotta tell you. that last chat we had? i bawled. absolutely poured my heart out and you didn't know. and never will know.
because you changed just like everyone else and not for the good. you yelled at me and i didn't even know why. and i still don't because you won't talk to me. and you never will because you changed.
and out of all those months where we really had something, or at least i thought we did... the thing i remember the most is you telling me to never hurt myself. because i was beautiful and i deserved to be loved.

you wanna know the last thing you said to me, bubbles? you want to know the very last thing you ever said to me?
you told me to kill myself.

well maybe i will.

i still love you.
           ^
hope something eats

haley

and that's it!! by the way, i'm NOT going to kill myself. i promise. :) just needed to get those feelings out there. so, yeah!

'my doubts fade away when i'm kissin' you...'

so i decided to write this story here about a girls first kiss. my friend actually inspired this story because this is what happened to her. the descriptions came from Kissin' U by Miranda Cosgrove... so i hope you guys like it!

I had liked him for two years and where was I now? Oh, yeah... On a date with him. I was flying inside knowing that I was sitting next to him in this dark and cold movie theatre. 

Earlier that day my friend had forwarded an email to me that he had sent to her. It said:

i really hope i get to kiss her tonight but i don’t want her to be all grossed out and not want to kiss me. i really like her so i don’t want to rush things. i just wish she would say ‘you can kiss me now’ when she wanted to be kissed. 

And that’s exactly what I had decided to do. Say ‘you can kiss me now’ and then all of his problems would be solved. I know he hadn’t wanted me to know about this email but maybe he would be slightly relieved.  

But maybe he really didn’t want me to read it... Maybe he wanted it to be a surprise that he was going to kiss me. Maybe he was just kidding about the whole ‘you can kiss me now’ thing.

This ongoing battle inside me lasted until I finally decided that I just needed to lean over and say it. Say it so he could feel relieved. Say it so I could kiss him. Say it so he could be my first kiss. 

It was like he knew what I was thinking because he slipped his hand into mine just then. My hand was tingling as I looked up at him. So I wouldn’t have to say it, I thought to myself. He’ll just kiss me; piece of cake. He smiled gently at me but then turned back to the screen. 

So maybe he didn’t want to kiss me after all...

But there was only way to find out. I leaned over close to his ear and whispered, “You can kiss me now.” I saw his eyes widen a bit and as I leaned back into my seat he turned and pressed his warm lips against mine. Time instantly stopped and there was nowhere else I would rather be except for here, kissing him. I knew if I opened my eyes at this moment, everything would be still. Because all the sounds that I used to here were fading and blurring. Because I knew the world had stopped turning when it realized that I was having my first kiss with the guy I had liked for two years.

My lips tingled from the sparks that felt like electricity passing through us. I lifted my hand up to his cheek to keep us there for as long as possible. . .

another poem(:

Bubble Gum Wrappers
dedicated to:
lindsay mac

late nights under bright stars
on white and blue
plastic chairs
with the only proof
that it even happened
resting on our fingertips
in the form of an orange powder.
(until we devour it up)

hot, sweaty walks
on grains of sand
that turn our feet red
with every step closer
to the baby blue building
with that unmistakeable
slanted roof.

blue chunks of
frozen water
hit my tongue
with the reliable taste
of change and new beginnings.

and the smell of
bubble gum
as the familiar bell sounds
every time you open the door.
and we both know
we could spend eternity
in that room
and never get bored
with all the small nic nacs
lining the shelves.

and as you read the black
lines on a glowing screen
the only thing
i want you to remember
is your angry elf. :)

'i only read one book, but it's a good book'

hey there my 2 followers... :) so, i've decided to write about a book that i actually finished a few weeks ago. :) it's a very good book... so here is what the back says...
According to Anna's best friend Frankie, twenty days in Zanzibar Bay is the perfect opportunity to have a summer fling, and if they meet one boy ever day, there's a pretty good chance Anna will find her first summer romance. Anna lightheartedly agrees to the game, but there's something she hasn't told Frankie---she's already had that kind of romance, and it was with Frankie's older brother, Matt, just before his tragic death one year ago. Beautifully written and emotionally honest, this is a debut novel that explores what it truly means to love someone and what it means to grieve, and ultimately, how to make the most of every single moment this world has to offer.
i actually really enjoyed this book and totally recommend it for a good summer read. it breaks your heart and puts it back together again. :) i love the writing style and the genre (YA romance). i've always YA romance so... this is just a really good book and if you would like to borrow it just let me know!

'every rose has its thorn...'

sorry i haven't posted the story.... i've been working on it. not really. (: but anyways, i decided to write... not what's going on in my life 'cause it's pretty boring. so i'm writing a quicky story about what would be cool... but it's just in this one post. so yeah. enjoy(:


i was just about to take a bite of another Dib when a knock came at the door. i dragged my ready-for-bed self to the VCR and hit pause on the Goosebumps movie my cousin and i were watching. the knock came again.
"coming!" i yelled.
i walked to the door and peered out of the peep hole but i couldn't see anything, of course, because it was too dark. i unlocked the door and swung it open.
and there he stood. his now tanned and muscular body looking down at me. he then flashed a smile. i could see his fingers twitching through my peripheral vision.
"hi," i smiled. and took a deep breath. and reminded myself not to like this really cute 18 year old standing in front of me. but that was too difficult. so i just stood there nervously smiling.
"so, uh, i was wondering if i could show you something," he said in his cute country accent.
"uh, yeah," i smiled. stop smiling, i tried to tell myself, it makes you seem retarded. "let me just grab bella*."
"oh, no!" he said all too quickly. "um, i just wanted to show you. since you'd probably appreciate it more."
"oh," i said, slightly surprised. then i leaned over my shoulder and told bella that he was going to show me something. she winked. she knew i liked him; we talked about it every night.
i stepped out into the hot summer night and closed the door behind me. he smiled and grabbed my arm and ran across the walkway leading to our condo and out into the open night. as we were running, his hand fell to my wrist and i couldn't help but feel the tingling sensation that was growing from arm to the rest of my body.
he abruptly stopped in the middle of the parking lot and dropped my wrist. he looked up.
"the stars," he finally said. "i wanted you to see the stars."
"they're beautiful aren't they," i replied. "i come out here sometimes just to see them. i just feel so--"
"small?" he finished for me. "yeah, me too."
we stood there looking at the stars in silence when all of the sudden his hand took mine. i looked over at him and wished for what i wanted to happen to just go ahead and happen.
i guess he could read my thoughts because right then he turned completely toward me and pulled me in.
his lips touched mine and i think i felt fireworks or butterflies or whatever those dag-nabbit things are in your stomach. i wrapped my arms around his neck and he placed his arms around my waist. we stayed there for forever but it didn't seem long enough. thoughts kept running through my head. about him. about this kiss that was happening at. this. moment. about... how he was leaving for college in a few days and how this was actually illegal, an 18 year old kissing a 14 year old. but i vanished all those thoughts from my head and just thought of...
him. me. us.
i finally pulled away and smiled. i had just gotten what i'd wanted. what i'd asked for. well, actually, two things. a summer romance. and a summer romance with him.
and i felt like i was dancing with stars that he had showed me that night.

the end!
i've been thinking about that one for awhile actually... not too good but i can picture it. so :P
hahah!

'i guess it's just a silly song about you, and how i lost you and your brown eyes'

i have decided to write a poem... here goes nothing(:


i am writing graffiti on your body
dedicated to: 
lindsay mac and dc


i miss those brown eyes
sitting next to me
in that cold january class.
even if you played with her hair
instead of mine;
i have a good imagination.


i miss those easy days
after mr. caterpillar 
kiss and told. 
the way you'd laugh
even if i wasn't funny.
the way you scribbled hearts
around my name 
even if she made you
erase what we had.


i even miss 
the time my cheeks turned red
and you put your hand on my hip. 
even if it was
just an embrace you wanted
i know it could've meant more 
if she hadn't tapped your shoulder.


but the time i miss the most
was when our parents worked overtime.
and i met you 
in front of the room 
where i wrote a story about cars. 
i could fill an ocean
with the salt water 
that came from deep within. 


but you didn't mind.
you held me close
and told me 
that everything would be alright.
and i listened
and hoped you knew
what you were talking about.


now you're unresponsive
and we haven't talked
for a lifetime. 
which means
my fairytale 
is officially over.


the end. i'm sure that was the worst poem in the whole entire history of the world... but there it is.

'when you blow out the candles, one light stays a-glow...'

have you ever noticed that on your birthday, you don't feel older? you don't feel wiser and you don't feel more mature.
you DO feel like you should be given more respect. like you should be given more freedom to do as you please. like a whole other year has already gone by... and you certainly feel happier. :)
i don't know what it is, but i always feel 10x happier on my birthday than on just some other day. i feel like i'm on the top of the world and that nothing can bring me down. :)

i really thought with that title up there, haley, that you were going to write about how you're going into high school and how things are going to change.

well, just to please you... ;)

i'm going from a school with 60 in the grade to one with 315 in the grade... and it's not like that's weird to me or anything because i used to go to a school with 400 in the grade... which is big...

but so many things are going to change going to high school... and because i'm better at making  lists, i'm going to make a list about all the things that are going to change... here goes nothing:

1. the size. that ones basically an obvious thing that doesn't bother me but... you know.

2. my friends inside school. one girl hates me now. it's cool. i don't particularly care for her either... one girl is changing schools. and i mean what are the chances that i have classes with all of my friends? i know i have 4 with one of my chicas but i'm going to have a whole new group i'm going to hang with. which, again, doesn't bother me... but... i don't know. it's just a change.

3. my friends outside school. with homework and extra curriculars when in the world are we going to have time to hang??

4. homework. load. my my my. it's supposed to be CRAZY bad. :P

'we'll be a dream...'

i was inspired by emma katherine's blog (which you should check out, by the way.)
but anyways...
so i had this crazy dream last night...


so i woke up and there was this huge spider swinging onto my bed... where my younger cousin was sleeping next to me. so i literally ran out of the room screaming but left my cousin there (aren't i super nice) and then i go into my kitchen and my mom and aunt and uncle are all in there. and my aunt first has brown hair and then blonde... whatever. and then i walk out of the room and walk in on my brother (i'm an only child so you can only guess how weird this already is..) and his girlfriend while they were eating dinner. (yes i did just 'wake up' in my dream..) and my 'brother' got all mad at me and made me go and make him a salad. but i couldn't just make it at home, oh no. that would be to easy. i had to somehow go out and buy and make the salad. i don't even know. so me and my younger brother... (again with the brothers...) went out to go make his salad but we somehow had extra time and went to a movie theatre to grab him a dessert. (who knows...) and we got him some cotton candy (which i ended up eating... even in my sleep i'm a fatty(; ) and other things that i don't remember. then we were magically able to fly. so we flew home. and somehow the spider grew and tried to take over the world or something and my older 'brother' acquired super powers also and took down the spider... and then i woke up. thankfully(:
