If you must know one thing about me, it's this: I am weird. Not creepy weird, or enjoyable weird, just weird. I'm socially awkward, the magic of makeup is still unknown to me, and I stutter left and right whenever I try to speak. But technology has graced me with an escape into a world where I can hold a conversation without stammering and blushing red with every other word. School is starting, at least for the 10th through 12th grade kids, on Friday, and it's Monday already. Because school is the closest thing to hell on earth I will probably ever experience, I thought I might start this blog as a coping mechanism so I wouldn't string myself up like a marionette before the glory of Junior year befalls my sorry eyes. (I'm kidding about hanging myself, by the way, or at least half-kidding.) Which brings me to the 'goal' part of this long-winded post.
Over this year I want to update this blog, and to use it as a coping mechanism, as I mentioned before. In part, I also want to use it to look back on my past self and see how I've grown and changed. (Provided I do grow and change, and I don't remain a mental 14 year old for the rest of my life. Fingers crossed!) I figure if I have a place to anonymously rant and rave about all of the people I despise, crush on, and befriend, I can make it through one more year. And then another. And then at least one more, just for good measure. After high school, who knows, I might keep the blog. But it's more likely that I will tire of the blog before the year is up and this one sad little post will wither away and be forgotten. Oh well, happy thoughts!
Here's hoping that the depression doesn't get to me before my diploma does.
