even if things get heavy we'll all float on aaalright
i feel really strange right now.
i just realized i really have no fun at parties or other supposed-to-be-fun things anymore. see, today was bedford day. a whole afternoon filled with parades and booths filled with random freebies and junk, and the whole town piled in the center of town. it should be really fun and happy but i was too sick of my friend (i refuse to call her my best friend because i've decided today that i officially hate her, even though she's considered me her best friend ever since we met. no, i don't think i'll ever find another real best friend again, or at least not in this town.) to enjoy it. i literally had more fun biking to the center of town than at the actual thing. and yesterday, too. i had more fun walking to the party by myself than i actually had at the party, which was actually not even a bad party. i just didn't have an extraordinary amount of fun, even though you'd probably think i did if you'd seen me there. am i being a fake or something? because it's taking such a large effort just to be perky and fun around people when really i'd rather just not talk to anyone at all.
school is so stupid. honestly i hate going to things like bedford day, or football games, or any other school-town-based events. once you get there everyone's so clique-y and grouped off. it's just like in any typical movie about school: preps, jocks, druggies and gangstas, wannabes, and random assorted others. i don't really belong in any group anymore because whatever i had before that slightly resembled a "friends group" last year just doesn't exist anymore this year. so i just flock around the different groups because i get along with all of them, but i miss having a solid group of friends that could all depend on each other SO so so much. and i miss sixth grade when everyone got along and we could get away with anything. and i am so unbelievably annoyed with my friend who is not my best friend. i am too tired now, but i will probably tell you all about her later because i mention her a lot and i definitely need to get it out because i just feel so frustrated with her.
but anyway. i don't know what's up with me, i'm just so sick of people in general. and i hate pretending to be enjoying everything i do when i don't. okay, that's an exaggeration because i do actually enjoy doing some things, it's just that i feel like i'm secretly truly super antisocial, and maybe that's why i love being alone so much and don't really like parties. and now that i mentioned sixth grade this huge huge huge wave of nostalgia is like washing over me and now i miss everything so much.
SOMEONE DR. PHIL ME. actually i guess you can't really because it's not like i presented a tangible solve-able problem. well, it felt good to vent. you know, i was about to just x the window and not save the post at all because it's so pointless but that would've meant i'd wasted an hour typing this up (i am using my mom's ancient computer, and no keys on her keyboard work so i literally have to smash down on them multiple times until they come out. in a way it's been therapeutic but it's also really slow) so i'm gonna publish the post anyway. if you actually read this then here's a cookie. and if you didn't then i don't blame you.
much love still,
geena

I can't really help you because I'm not very good at giving advice, but I know what you mean about being alone. Sometimes, I just have to give myself some alont time to think. That's either really emo or really sappy. :P
Geena, I kind of know how you feel. I actually don't like hanging out with my friends sometimes because they keep laughing at each others jokes and the jokes are not funny. Its hard to explain but i feel kind of forced to laugh even though they know i am fake_laughing. But the jokes are not funny. And if i don't laugh its like I am surrounded by my three friends whoo are laughing away and i am not, so it feels weird. In this way it is kind of sucky and controlling to be in a clique, so maybe you should be thankful. Although cliques provide great support you can be kind of undermined by them. LIke known as the girl "who hangs out with" WOuldn't you rather be known for yourself?
Plus, you know you have great friends from CTY cheering you on all the time. Even from a laptop in Arizona, so be thankful!!!! (for me!!!!)
I don't think I should blame this on you guys but right after CTY i felt really weird and worried about things that i had not worried about before. Everything felt less real and more like i was watching the world rather than being a real part of it.
Sorry, i know i complained more about my life than actually helping you.
Don't worry, venting is good :).
Well, geena, I am a very honest person- "sometimes blunt to the point of rudeness xD" and I don't like putting up a fake facade like many others do. When people go to the football game or the dance I go but I stay true to my feelings; I don't go when i don't want to. When I go to things like dances sometimes I feel I would have a better time staying at home and reading manga :).
Like Amita was saying about fake laughing...I don't fake laugh. I only laugh when I find things genuinely funny. I don't try to fake my feelings or reactions, they just have to happen. Like when me and angie were laughing forever xDDD.
Yeah, just be true to yourself.
Don't care about what others think.
Sometimes it sucks to be the true you because people will not like you as much, but people will eventually accept who you are.
I'm not saying to become totally antisocial or EMO xD~! but, don't fake your feelings and don't fake your friends.
I think we all need an official CTY support blog virtual group hug right now!!!!!
i agree with m.e.! hugs save the day <3
and its going to turn out alright! pinky swear! :) ok i'm no dr. phil but i promise you i'll be here for u if you need me! i know how you feel because im in a crew as well but lately i feel like i'm outgrowing some of them. just act like yourself & smile. i know you prolly could have gotten that advice from like albert, but just relax.
cliques are hard to deal with, but maybe you could form your own clique. if that doesnt work, try sitting with the group you feel most comfortable around @ lunch or something. just laugh and take it easy.
just a question: is your best friend in a clique? well if she is, maybe you could try being in that clique since you guys are supposedly "best friends". you might make new friends, better friends than she. if you dont like her group, then just
i know this is getting long but i have something else to say! i kinda had your problem a little while back but the problem was that othr people werent making the party fun for me. inschool, we'd be good friends and at parties they'd be more wild and "backstabbish", causing a shxtload of drama :(
and last, idk if its gonna work for u, but this worked for me: make yourself look needed. i know that sounds superweird and un-understandable, but its not. right after cty, at a party, i felt like REALLY un-unselfconscious bcuz i would keep thinking "ahh i have my cty-ers. i can do WHATEVER. just take chances, if i make mistakes, ill still have them." i was louder and preppier than usual & became closer to some ppl i wasnt close to before. then much later, i'd start backing off a little standing off to the side while my friends laughed an talked, thinking "i have cty. i dont need them." this intriguied me later bcuz before cty i would never act like this, id just be...me. but i realized if i didnt have u guys, i wouldnt have acted so preppy in the beginning, or antisocial in the end. so what i meant before is that i think its best to just be yourself (key phrase :D) and just act like everyone is ALREADY your friend. make it so that, like if you left the party, make it so that people would MISS u...ur personality and you just "being there" =) just mingle with everyone and be nice and take chances. i know that prolly hardly makes sense to u, maybe its just me bcuz i think really oddly, or maybe im going crazyADFJKSL but just remember WE LOVE YOU GEENA and we're here for you <3
aah i didnt finish the after *just in the 4th paragraph!
*just make new friends in ur classes. theres always going to be someone right? :) and just for a cheesey effect, LIVE LIKE YOU WERE DYING. <3
HAHA Yes Emily Huang I still remember that time near that big tree when we were laughing over being drunk or something? My stomach aches from just thinking about it... But anyways, Geena I think that like well its a hard week for everyone. Just get alot of sleep over the weekend, and maybe you'll be feeling spazzier later! Don't force it. I wasn't cracking up hysterically or cracking dirty jokes so my friends thought I was like depressed for a little while but you know weekends can do miracles. I'm sure Rachel said the same sort of thing only like 10 times longer which no offense, I didn't even try to read, so yeah... advice is good. Just try to go to social events and maybe you'll feel social again!
