You are at the middle of a conflict, used as a double agent, a spy, or an alibi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then there's the indecisive bastards. That's right. You know who you are (and if you don't, well... you fucking suck) and it pains me to say the following: While the situation may be none of my "fucking business" it is my business on what you do to my friends. The mental and emotional damage is growing and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;while you have your little &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;sexcapades&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, I'm the one left picking up the broken pieces.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I heal the damaged people. You don't. You think it's for the best, but it's not. At the LEAST, it is nothing more than a coward's move.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what do I know? I've never been in a relationship. I've never been "in love." So how then, can I say it's wrong to fool so many people?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't. But it's simple &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;LOGIC&lt;/span&gt;, people.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Use your heads!! D:&lt;&lt;/span&gt; [Fumes.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bah! I'm done ranting. And if you read this and know what I'm talking, do me a favor and pretend you didn't. Okay?

As it was, she was a single mother of one, worked 30hrs a week, and is a full time student with 17 units.  (Go Girl!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were talking about this, mainly because we all wanted to know what our social statuses are. There are our Master Status, our Achieve Status, and our Ascribed status.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, I have mainly three statuses. My Master is being an older sister, which is an Ascribed status, because it wasn't like I had a choice in the matter. My other statuses are being a friend, and a student, both achieved statuses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what do I &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;want &lt;/span&gt;my status to be?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A friend, a lover, a writer, a hero, a supporter, a warrior, a dependable person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, how do I ACHIEVE these goals? What are my motivations?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I look to books. They have lived longer than me and my parents. They have been there since man could write. These are the sources of my motivation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To achieve them I have my steps. College and study and such. It'll take some time and hard work, but I think I can pull it off.

My mother just spent the entire drive here to school, telling me about how she thinks dad is cheating on her with some lady in El Salvador.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the same time, my best friends are "cool" with one another again. I know it's a bit stupid of me to be mad at this, but I want them to simply be friends or whatever a couple, just without the problems I  know this will entail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I doubt my friends would tell me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Onto bigger and brighter things, I spent last night thinking about the way [I] spend time with my friends. Am I worth all this? Basically I'm asking, do I deserve the life I have now. Right now, I'm afraid that I might lose everything I have and start over, since my mother wants to move out of the state if her claims are true. She isn't going to stay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I won't either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...but I will not leave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ugh, my head. What am I going to do? Or world, what shall I do? Part of me wants to scream, "SHAZZAM!" and see if things are okay again. ;-; I want to soooo badly.

The fact that my first week is up and gone made me so sad. I love being at school. Mainly for the fact that I don't have to stay home. When this is all over... I don't know what I'll do. Hopefully will be as much fun as this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, I believe today's Valentine's Day. I'm on the laptop at 2:30 in the morning writing this. Why? Cuz I can and this is the only thing that will keep my head off the damned holiday. My friends all have someone. Well except Momo, but I don't think it counts since she's still got something "special" planned (she's getting high). But what about me? Who will be willing to spend a whole day with Poppy for Valentine's Day? WITHOUT being a last resort, please!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sorta happy that there is no school tomorrow, because that way I don't get to see those couples exchange teddy bears, candy, and the oh-so-sweet hugs and kisses that come along with the holiday. To be honest, I never had a REAL V-Day. When I was with Brian for that long year, I didn't do anything special with or for him. And vice versa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But whatever. It's better than getting a Valentine Card with a Gorge crossed out and under it there be your name (I shit you not, this is what I MOSTLY got).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now about my current state of well being. I'm happy that school started, but I've suddenly found myself debating on whether or not I should quit Kung-Fu. Lately, I've had small experiences in which I feel small and vulnerable in that class. I still like to perform to the techniques when I am home alone, so I know it's not the martial art. It's something about the class. Maybe the way it sorta feels like Mitchelletorena (oh my god, I can't remember how to spell my elementary school!! ;-; FORGIVE ME MS. INMAN!!) or King. And that's a no-no.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I guess I'll give myself sometime to think it over at the park or something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Onto another subject!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Projects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm working on several projects at the moment. Some of them are material projects and others are more physical. But if all goes, I'll be able to reveal most of my projects by August. :) I can guess what you're probably thinking though.

But a really close friend on mine told me that I was changing. When I asked my friend how so, they only said that they didn't know. I just was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I get compliments, I can't help but think that they say it because they feel sorry for me. If I hear it, I won't believe it. If I get with a guy, I know a part of me will doubt if my partner got with me because they were desperate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just won't believe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not sure what to do. I want to try t be girly, but at the same time, I want to be a person.

I can&amp;#39;t say how much I hate it when people describe their girls with traits that I know I personally have.&lt;p&gt;Wanna know why? Because it makes me wonder why no guy, or girl, sees that in me. It&amp;#39;s not that I want those people, or that I&amp;#39;m jealous of the girls.

(And I never break a Promise.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;8th grade: (continued)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shortly after the folder incident, we had a project we had to do. But the thing was that it was going to graded by the entire class. At first I thought nothing of it, but then I realized my group had to grade possibly the only "failed" groupd in our class. It wouldn't be a problem, but since &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I &lt;/span&gt;was going to grade, you see, I was surely going to be punished. When the teacher asked me what grade the group deserved (which was a Fail) I looked around and felt those stares. I smiled weakly and said, a B. The teacher frowned and asked me again. Again a B, I said. She threatened to fail me for my part of the project (which was a lot), if I wasn't fair with the grading. Everyone was still glaring at me and I felt my eyes water. The stress was getting to me. I didn't want to fail, but I didn't want to be the bad guy either. When the teacher called my name I just snapped. I yelled, "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;LEAVE ME ALONE!!&lt;/span&gt;" and got up and ran out of the class.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;9th-10th grade: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought I was going to die. Another four years? I just survived the last three by a string. How the fuck was I going to make it here? Fortunately, it was during this time that I met some decent people. People like Momo, Kenia, Nicolei, Monique, Ariel (my old crush), Lulu, and others. (This is also when I believe I met Leo, my best friend's boyfriend at the time -I fucking hated his guts. x3 Look at me now. :P-) These were people who somewhat defined the rest of me. I feel like all the bad thing about me, are from what I got from middle school. (I'm sarcastic to people, I tend to be mean, and keep my distance.) The good things are from the people who know me to a point where they can piece me together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were an small events that happened though that wheeled me back to the drawing board. Martin, a classmate from middle school loved to be funny at other people's expense. I was walking to my class one day when he spotted me. He soon followed and kept repeating, "Leave me alone," in a mocking tone. I ignored him, but as soon as I was in a restroom I cried like I never cried before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another incident that happened was in ninth grade. I almost forgot how Libby looked like when I saw her coming towards me. My insides twisted. She was smiling awkwardly and asked to speak to speak to me in private. as soon as we were alone, she began to hit me and then ran off, not really leaving any evidence behind of what happened. I never got near her again. (But chances are that I would still try to talk to her. Even now.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;11-12th grade:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drama. I've seen all before in middle school and seeing it tear apart those around me was nothing but torture. But then I realized, it was like a test to see who were really meant to survive in this world. I'm not sure if I failed or passed, but all I do know is that if the majority lost their sanity during this time, I'm sure I'm practically INSANE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There you go. A small history of the things most people would call friends. Now, go fuck off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm joking. I feel lighter today. Like I accomplished something great. Something... deep? Nah. More like revealing. Yeah, let's go with that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, I want to wish all of you, my readers, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Poppy Mare&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/398591076826182325-1226170167319354777?l=poppymare.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppymare.blogspot.com/feeds/1226170167319354777/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://poppymare.blogspot.com/2009/12/holidays-help-lot-part-2.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/398591076826182325/posts/default/1226170167319354777'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/398591076826182325/posts/default/1226170167319354777'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppymare.blogspot.com/2009/12/holidays-help-lot-part-2.html' title='Holidays Help - A LOT, Part: 2'/><author><name>Poppy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07330258659930873571</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398591076826182325.post-4282951639329249674</id><published>2009-12-23T21:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-23T22:35:52.835-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='breakdowns'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='unwanted'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='friends'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='emotional'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='emptiness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='issues'/><title type='text'>Holidays Help - A LOT, Part: 1</title><content type='html'>Let me explain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So basically, half of this year has been nothing but turmoil. I couldn't really control my feelings and I would basically shiver and shake at the thought of another human being -other than my best friend- getting close enough to know me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because every time I made a best friend, something would go horribly wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this Christmas, I'm going to go back in time and basically open up publicly about most of my issues that I've had with so called friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;K-4 grade:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was basically learning English since both of my parents were immigrants. This, I think, led me to being an outcast since most of my classmates knew English and meeting a girl spoke differently was just weird. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt; was weird. English was a hard language for me to learn and I distinctly remember an incident when a girl came up to me and said, "Say 'cheater' right and you can play with us." I thought it was just a kind gesture and I did. Back then though, I really couldn't separate the 'ch' with 'sh' so I ended up saying, "sheater." Everyone laughed at me, and for the first time in my life, I was convinced that a best friend was something I could never get.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;5th grade:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A big change in my life. I can finally speak the language well and even better than most kids my age around the time. I even made a best friend: Libby, a girl who sat next to me and basically got me involved with the other kids. I felt like I was saved, that finally someone was able to love me. I swear, with all my heart and soul, I loved the girl (not in a romantic way) so much that once when there was a shooting, and everyone was under their desk, crying in fear, I was next to Libby. I was crying and so was she. I remember holding tightly to her, and she said in a little voice, "I don't wanna die." I didn't hesitate to answer, "Don't worry. If I have to die to save you, I will." and meant it. I kissed her cheek, to show how much I cared for her. I know it may sound stupid, but I was ready to take a bullet for possibly the only person (other than my parents) that loved me. That was the first -and only- time I was ready to die for a person. Shortly after that, she suddenly hated me and it got bad to the point where I didn't want to go back to school. Libby hated me to the point where she made threats to kill me, and I remember begging her to tell me what I did so horribly wrong. Graduation was the last time I ever really hugged the girl. I was fooled and thought she forgave me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;6th grade:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have no friends once more and it seemed Libby was not in my school. I didn't care at this point, people threw things at me and I took it as it came. I was teased, left alone and at some point, I considered suicide. The thing that stopped me? I was too fearful of pain. It hurt already too damned much to take pain from strangers. It seemed sorta meaningless for me to die by causing &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;myself &lt;/span&gt;pain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;7th grade:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cliques are something I never understood. I had trouble fitting in, so the moment I was offered another friend, I took it. They were three girls: Ariel, Jasmin, Tammy. They were there for me when boys pulled at my hair, but abandoned me when the other girls held me down and poured soda on me. They were there when I needed someone to talk to, but for some reason they dissappeared as soon as I "jumped" for a "make-over." They were kind to me, but then I would take my seat and see the words, "Go die. No one wants you. Bitch." written on my desk. In their writing. They never quite comforted me when I saw a crush of mine make an insult using my own name. It was saying, "Son of a Bitch," only with "Son of a [insert your name here]." Yay. Go, Love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;8th grade&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On my own personal choice, I stopped being friends with them. I felt like a villain, but we have to be a bad guy at some point. I never felt like an outcast once more, when I opened a drawer and saw my folder, vadalized with insults for me to die. I reported  it to the teacher (cuz they're your friends, right?) but I was punished instead because the dean thought I was the one who did it for attention. I was the one yelled at.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this is where I leave part one for now. Come back for part two, later on (if I feel like it).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Poppy Mare&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/398591076826182325-4282951639329249674?l=poppymare.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppymare.blogspot.com/feeds/4282951639329249674/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://poppymare.blogspot.com/2009/12/holidays-help-lot.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/398591076826182325/posts/default/4282951639329249674'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/398591076826182325/posts/default/4282951639329249674'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppymare.blogspot.com/2009/12/holidays-help-lot.html' title='Holidays Help - A LOT, Part: 1'/><author><name>Poppy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07330258659930873571</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398591076826182325.post-590853570217666512</id><published>2009-12-18T20:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-18T20:30:23.643-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='thieves'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='scared'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='loneliness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='momo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mp3'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='friends'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='breaking in'/><title type='text'>What I Did Today.</title><content type='html'>Well, in some sense, I can say I had a rude awakening of how my neighborhood is. All I can really say is that it's a very close knit community. And I mean that in a bad way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's close, because today some men tried breaking in. While I was home. Alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Needless to say, I was scared but what scared me more was that as the men were about to come in, I heard another voice say, "Don't go in! The girl's still inside!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I heard the intruder say, "Oh shit," and then I heard scrambling like they were hoping off of something. During the whole entire time, I was in my parents bedroom holding onto a knife a friend of mine gave me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This all happened in the morning. I didn't want to stay home after that. I left, went to Staples and hung out with Nicolei for a while. After that, Leo came by for a while and I told him about what happened. It's nice that he worries, but I wish someone &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;would &lt;/span&gt;drop by and visit every single day. I just wish it wasn't &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;him&lt;/span&gt;, because I would feel like I'm a burden or something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I talked to Momo today about some more lighthearted things (that girl is my weakness I tell you) like how my MP3 officially died in the toilet (number 6? 7?).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall, it was fun yet I can't shake the fact that someone is watching me as I type this post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God, I need to start my other blog once again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Poppy&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/398591076826182325-590853570217666512?l=poppymare.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppymare.blogspot.com/feeds/590853570217666512/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://poppymare.blogspot.com/2009/12/what-i-did-today.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/398591076826182325/posts/default/590853570217666512'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/398591076826182325/posts/default/590853570217666512'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppymare.blogspot.com/2009/12/what-i-did-today.html' title='What I Did Today.'/><author><name>Poppy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07330258659930873571</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398591076826182325.post-6632816135665191830</id><published>2009-12-18T09:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-18T10:03:58.372-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='leo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='friends'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tournament'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='match'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='judo'/><title type='text'>JUDO!!</title><content type='html'>This is my Judo class at LACC where I participated in my very first Judo tournament.

It&amp;#39;s official. I can&amp;#39;t stand certain people for small reasons.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;I - I just can&amp;#39;t!! My mind is reeling with illness and I can&amp;#39;t get a grip. Wednesday I almost threw up, due to the stress. I can&amp;#39;t sleep. I&amp;#39;m constantly lying to my friends. I really don&amp;#39;t feel well.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;There&amp;#39;s something that&amp;#39;s bugging me. Why do people look at you and the opposite gender and think that you have to love that. For once, in a long while, I made a second deep bonding friend. He just happens to be a guy. Big deal.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;But it is a big deal, however, when people are disturbing him and his girlfriend about it.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;[Sigh.] &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;I&amp;#39;m also starting to develop trust issues again. Who would&amp;#39;ve thought that a 13 year old boy can spy on me? I didn&amp;#39;t. But, all in all this has thought me something. I can&amp;#39;t trust family OR friends. Only me and my journal. &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;So, let me say this correctly: Thank you, Journal.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;-Poppy&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/398591076826182325-2163763084944100036?l=poppymare.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppymare.blogspot.com/feeds/2163763084944100036/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://poppymare.blogspot.com/2009/11/problem-persists-but-thankfully-i-have.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/398591076826182325/posts/default/2163763084944100036'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/398591076826182325/posts/default/2163763084944100036'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppymare.blogspot.com/2009/11/problem-persists-but-thankfully-i-have.html' title='The Problem Persists, But Thankfully I Have Something Called Friends'/><author><name>Poppy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07330258659930873571</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398591076826182325.post-1353911947613068444</id><published>2009-11-27T21:07:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-27T21:07:26.987-08:00</updated><title type='text'>First Email Message</title><content type='html'>The surprises just keep coming!!

I cannot simply be friends with anyone of the opposite sex, without it meaning so much more. This wasn't an issue until a good friend of mine cried on her birthday. I felt so guilty. And the thing that gots to me was that I didn't know so I didn't know how to make it better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or if I had, I would have disappeared for the day and given them some private time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ugh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel like, if I had a boyfriend then this wouldn't be an issue. I would just be friends with that person I am close to. But I can't just be with anyone, you know? I can't open up so easily. I just hope I meet someone in time to stop me from doing something I might regret.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But yeah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's get this over with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Poppy&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/398591076826182325-4478211846303967908?l=poppymare.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppymare.blogspot.com/feeds/4478211846303967908/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://poppymare.blogspot.com/2009/11/lets-take-seat-and-take-it-all-in-okay.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/398591076826182325/posts/default/4478211846303967908'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/398591076826182325/posts/default/4478211846303967908'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppymare.blogspot.com/2009/11/lets-take-seat-and-take-it-all-in-okay.html' title='Let&apos;s Take a Seat and Take it All in, Okay?'/><author><name>Poppy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07330258659930873571</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398591076826182325.post-2643184584740377497</id><published>2009-10-30T14:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-30T14:22:13.358-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='trust'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rules'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='breakdowns'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='problems'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='friends'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='secret'/><title type='text'>I Keeld Yo Momma, Biotch.</title><content type='html'>Okay, the gangster thing just isn't me. Sadly. But at least I'm good. ANYWAYS...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I made some rules for myself. Maybe they're a tad bit extreme, bit they are necessary. I can't have myself causing problems for anyone but myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of them is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.) When speaking to Momo or Leo, they may not mention the other's name. This rule is mainly for Momo, who keeps comparing me to Leo. She may not mean it, but it sorta gets to me. Leo doesn't compare me to Momo, but I feel I have to be fair. I can't mention their names to the other too, so we all win, eh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.) I am to not speak of anything that may bother me. Nothing at all. If anything is bothering me, I will simpl hold it in, until I have a breakdown of some sorts. This may seem like the not so smart thing for me to do, but I feel like I can't trust anyone. Also, I feel like everytime I open my big mouth, I cuase more problems for everyone. The sad thing is that this is mostly a trust issue. I don't like knowing that my parents are listening to everything I'm saying. It's not right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The third rule is mainly for my two dear friends. Leo and Mary. They can choose if they want to follow it, but I simply say this as a way to avoid causing them problems; mainly Mary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Otherwise, I'm good. I'm happy. I'm content.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If anything starts to bother me, well...

A tickle on the insides of my brain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An angel, a demon, a priest, a boy, a girl, a dance, death, and more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just little fragments of what I am thinking to write about.

I was tickled, thrown, and actually got to hurt a good friend of mine (sorry about that, Leo!). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We started with the usual workout; jogging, side-stepping, shrimping, rolls, push-ups (god, I suck at those) and side falls. But then we got to the more fun part; learning a new technique (well, I got to practice it a while back, but I felt semi-confident with performing it). Morote-seoinage (I’m sure I somehow misspelled that) is similar to another technique we learned, so it was familiar ground, sorta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Learning the technique and getting it down to be perfect is hard, but &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;fuuuuun&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh so much fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In that class, I actually get the urge to jump someone and strangle him, but in there, it’s fine. In there, it’s welcomed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God, I need to strangle something else right now!

I can't shake them off. I want to help people, want to believe them, want to be with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But now everything is falling apart and I feel like it's my fault.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I should have done this, said that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have very close friends who are currently not speaking to each other. I know it's not my business, but I really want them to just get over it. I want to hang with a group of friends who won't glare at one another. I want to go out without having to make a stupid diagram of who can't be with who. Watch. I'll mess up one day and it'll bite me in the ass. It's happened before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But before that happens:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you know who you are as I am writing this, please do not be angry at me for inviting the wrong person. You know I just wanna hang with everyone. I just want to have fun. If by some freak accident I set us up with your worst enemy, I'm sorry. I just have too much in my head already.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Onto another topic: Flirting/Whore/Friends/Trust&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is why I don't like talking to people about my issues. Because all I want to do is to get a load off my chest, but as soon as people realize what's going they want to help, or do something about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF, PEOPLE!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I tell you something, like I might be beaten on so and so day, please - PLEASE - just leave it alone. The reason I am telling you that little tid bit of information is so that I can go on, knowing that if anything were to happen to me (which will not) then at least someone knows that had happened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to trust people. But this is getting out of hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, I am not a whore, just because some guy talks to me. I am not flirting, just because your friend said so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a good look at me as a person. Who will have me? I'm not the best looker, I don't like to be all girly, I do not drink, do drugs, or anything. I am the most boring girl you will ever meet. What kind of guy wants me? No one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unless, they're really desperate, but let's go on from that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's all I have to say for now. Yup. I feel better (slightly) now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Poppy&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/398591076826182325-2475381303265958299?l=poppymare.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppymare.blogspot.com/feeds/2475381303265958299/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://poppymare.blogspot.com/2009/10/i-really-wish-i-didnt-know.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/398591076826182325/posts/default/2475381303265958299'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/398591076826182325/posts/default/2475381303265958299'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppymare.blogspot.com/2009/10/i-really-wish-i-didnt-know.html' title='I Really Wish I Didn&apos;t Know'/><author><name>Poppy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07330258659930873571</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398591076826182325.post-4406132959755400813</id><published>2009-10-16T21:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-16T21:56:44.211-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blogging'/><title type='text'>Since...</title><content type='html'>Since livejournal was being such a bitch to me, I decided to move back to Blogger.
