Another day, another yearbook session

Rabe, do you love my font sizes lately? They are absolutely huge and unweildy, but I'm doing it for you! Anyway, on to today. Hmmm.. Today wasn't all that bad. English was frightfully boring. Why does she insist on telling us things we already know, but not the stuff that's usefull? I have to say, I think I would do better teaching myself if I had the curriculum rubric. Lunch was full of typing my history notes up (how fun). You know, sometimes the people in the computer lab really freak me out. There were some shady characters there today (if I may borrow Clare's word). Kind of creepy, but oh well. Bio and Chem were ass-numbingly dull, but so they always are. I'm just glad I didn't have to write much in Chem. Less notes = less typing. Yearbook was quite entertaining. We looked at everyone's grad pics and sorted alphabettically (something James seems incapable of doing for some odd reason). Perhaps it's creepy, but I really like alphabetizing things. Perhaps this is why my bookshelf is alphabetized. You know, I really enjoy yearbook. It's an extra hour that I don't have to be at home. It's an extra hour and a half I get to spend with Mark. I love walking down the hallways at school when there's only a few of us and it all just seems so peaceful and calm. There aren't any notes, there is no teacher that is demanding we do well because we're IB, there's just no...expectations. It's really nice. And Mrs. Yearbook Teacher brought her baby in today. She's so cute (the baby, not Mrs YT). I love babies. Not that I want one of my own or anything, but they're so cute. And they need someone to look after them. And they love you back without caring what you wiegh, what you look like, or how good your grades are. *sigh* But they had her dressed in pink. PINK! Ugh. I hate pink. Yes, I understand she's a girl, but that does not mean she should have to suffer such cruel and unusual treatment as being stuffed into frilly pink clothes. Ick. Home tonight has not been very productive. I did a few questions of a history worksheet and finished reading my FR and Napoleon notes. It just got very boring, so I decided to post. Basically, I watched tv for a couple of hours and then decided to do work, which got boring quite fast. Not so good. Oh, and apparently if I keep eating the way I am I am not going to fit into my grad dress. Fine. Whatever. Maybe I'll just stop eating altogether. Will that make you happy? Of course not. You'll just find something else to comment on. But of course you never mean it the way I hear it. No, you never mean to hurt me. But you know what, you do, and I'm tired of it. I'm tired of pretending that it doesn't hurt. I'll never be the person you want me to be and I'm sorry. I try my best and if that isn't good enough, I'll just have to try harder. I'll never be the person you want me to be, but I'll try. What have I got to lose? Nothing. I lost everything a long time ago.

ROAR! that post turned rather quickly from normal recap to RANT! that's ok, it was just humourous at the turnaround rate. If it makes you feel any better...i've done no homework. I'm not even going to try on my grad dress because i'm officially scared. And mare is still an official twig! i'm going to get you a card which says "I store my internal organs in my car." I should go into a business with the twigs that surround me...lol.
most of all, I LIKE YOU THE WAY YOU ARE! you can be content in knowing that 1 Rabe = 2 mares (weight wise of course) and i don't think i would care if you were 514 pounds and i had to get a forklift to move you into res. unless you got stuck in the door and i couldn't ever get in. that would be sad. but honestly, i know it's gotta hurt when unmentioned person #1 (i'm assuming your mother?) says stuff like that. i know it hurts, even when you try to remind yourself that you don't care, you still do. and i know, in our screwed up little IB worlds, that, instinctively, we're going to do our darnedest to be what other people want us to be. that's the whole reason that the vast majority of people in IB went into IB, in my opinion.
on a final note. You have tons to lose if you try to be someone else! I think (and i think that most of the readers would agree with me here) that you have an amazing personality, and come on, who else can be the other half of RAREMABE? it just wouldn't be the same. besides, i'm your friend because of who you are: your personality (not your parents' personalities)! not your weight (which is miniscule already) or height (heh) or anything else.
LOVE FROM RABE!!! (the hottalott half of RAREMABE...jk. we all know you are hottter.)

Firstly: of course you may borrow my word...borrow it any time you like.

Secondly:Please don't stop eating Mare...you're gorgeous, you really are...I wish I looked like you...anyways, I think that I know what you mean, to some extent at least...I guess we both try too hard to please people...with me, I try to please my mom...or at least I tried...but then I realized that it's virtually impossible. I'll never be smart enough, strong enough, healthy enough, caring enough, supportive enough, polite enough, friendly enough, dress well enough, be the right weight, or just overall look the right way and the list goes on. I've tried to perfect myself, for years and years in fact...until it all smacked me in the face...and my mom basically told me that I hated her and that I would never be able to get along with her...everything I do is a threat against her...but, even though I know that I will never be the person she wants me to be...I can't stop, it's an addiction...I created rules within myself, boundaries, etc...I'll never be able to change...At any rate, you're exactly the person that I want you to be...and you always will be. You're so smart (refer back to your IA paper of HOTNESS...sorry, I have it my possession, but I will return it to you so that you can confirm this statement), kind (you always offer to let me stay at your place when I'm a frazzled wreck), funny (many, many witty remarks..."Bestill my beating heart perhaps"...many, many others...as well as our very Mary moments), and I know that I'd be lost without you and Rabe (cookie sessions, church choir[sorry bout abandoning you at practice], thunder stealing, inhabiting each other's heads [ I think that you and Rabe know what I mean] and we must not fail to give mention to our mad Fort gossip sessions). You'll always be perfect to me...no matter what you do, or who you want to be.

love,
Clare
