  <description>It is my goal to actually keep track of the number of books and titles of the books that I read in 2007. I&apos;m starting with a goal of 50 books but am sure I&apos;ll surpass that quickly... &lt;br /&gt;This is the list so far...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Garth Nix; Sabriel&lt;br /&gt;Garth Nix: Lirael&lt;br /&gt;Garth Nix; Abhorsen&lt;br /&gt;Nora Roberts; Playing the Odds&lt;br /&gt;Nora Roberts; Tempting Fate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot;&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;table border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot;&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.zokutou.co.uk/wordmeter/pel.gif&quot; width=&quot;6&quot; height=&quot;22&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zokutou.co.uk/wordmeter&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.zokutou.co.uk/wordmeter/pk.gif&quot; width=&quot;10&quot; height=&quot;22&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Zokutou word meter&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.zokutou.co.uk/wordmeter/pc.gif&quot; width=&quot;4&quot; height=&quot;22&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zokutou.co.uk/wordmeter&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.zokutou.co.uk/wordmeter/pr.gif&quot; width=&quot;90&quot; height=&quot;22&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Zokutou word meter&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.zokutou.co.uk/wordmeter/per.gif&quot; width=&quot;6&quot; height=&quot;22&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;5&lt;/b&gt; / 50&lt;br&gt;(10.0%)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt;</description>

  <title>damn</title>
  <link>http://kelsey7227.livejournal.com/19175.html</link>
  <description>so I was just listening to old (I mean really old) Christina Aguilera. It evoked all these old feelings... like... this one song, Love For ALl Seasons... I used to really believe that I&apos;d find someone... that I might be happy... ever... but no when I listen to it it just makes me laugh and cry simultaneously... I really used to believe in love... and now I just don&apos;t know anymore, at least not for me... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I don&apos;t think anyone (except Nikkie) reads this I&apos;m content in saying this... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;lately all I can think about is the fact that I&apos;m alone... everything just smacks me in the face... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;there&apos;s a formal for the Juniors here the first weekend in December... and I&apos;d like nothing more than to have a date... I know it won&apos;t happen... and I used to believe that there was nothing wrong with wishing and dreaming... but I just can&apos;t believe that anymore... because I&apos;m still sitting here, alone... just like I have been every fucking night of my life... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It might not seem like that big of a deal to anyone else... but I&apos;ve never had any of that &quot;normal&quot; stuff people generally correlate with relationsihps... I&apos;ve never been asked out, or liked for that matter, I&apos;ve never been on a date, or kissed (technically), no one has ever held my hand or looked into  my eyes... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this all makes me feel so pathetic... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ugh</description>

  <title>SO..</title>

  <description>&lt;font color=&quot;#333399&quot;&gt;SO I wrote &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;ljcut&quot; text=&quot;THIS&quot;&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Anything But Ordinary&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;age 12&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Today, her mom told her while they stood together in the cramped bathroom; today you take your first step toward being a woman. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;She stared at the wrapped stick her mother had just handed her wishing she could just go back to yesterday when she didn’t have any worries. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;But she couldn’t.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;*&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;*&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;*&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;age 13&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;She had a crush on Frankie. It was her first one and she was both embarrassed and in shock of it. She’d tried make-up for the first time to impress him. She’d worn her nice clothes and giggled at everything he said. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;In order to get him to touch her, they’d made a game. She and a friend had gone around hugging everybody, calling it “hug day”. He’d actually hugged her. &lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;*&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;*&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;*&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;Age 14&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;She loved him with all the innocence and naivety only a fourteen year old knows. Everything about him was all she’d ever looked for. It didn’t matter that he was the “bad boy” and he was barely passing the 8&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; grade, she didn’t care that he’d been called a “discipline problem”. He showed her was it was to care, to truly care, about someone you weren’t supposed to love. She never told him how she felt, not to his face, she wouldn’t dare, but she thought he just had to know, it was written all over her face, her language, her smile and the notebook she doodled in while she was supposed to be listening in class. Adam was it. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Her birthday party was the event of the month, everyone would be there; even Adam. She bought a new outfit (actually her Grandma bought it, it was her birthday present) she’d even put on make-up. It was all for him. When 7 o’clock rolled in and people started showing up, she couldn’t help but keep an eye on the door, searching for his searing blue eyes and that cute shy smile. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He came, but spent only a short hour there, in which time they talked shortly. Just before he left, however, he pulled her aside and looked her in the eyes. Pulling an envelope out of his pocket, he kissed her on the cheek and made his exit. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He had given her tickets to a concert, her favorite band, tickets she herself was unable to get. They were on the floor, in the middle and very close to the stage. He had to like her. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;She asked him to go with her and he refused, weeks later she asked him on a date and he stopped talking to her. She had offered him the moon and stars and he had handed them back to her without a second glance. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;They went to school together; they saw each other on a daily basis. She couldn’t pretend he hadn’t hurt her she couldn’t pretend she didn’t still love him. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He never talked to her again. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;*&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;*&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;*&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;age 15&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Brad kissed her tonight after the homecoming. It was her first kiss, her first slow dance. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;They’d gone with a group, not as a couple, and she’d been sure he never even looked twice at her. They danced, and laughed throughout the whole of the blast of sound and rush of bodies. He’d pulled her close at the announcement of the final song, he’d kissed her while the music slowed and the lights were still dim. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;When all had stopped, he released her quickly and told her he’d call her later. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He kissed her tonight, and she thought it was the best night of her life. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He never called.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;*&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;*&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;*&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;age 16&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Mitch had gotten his license just days ago, his car was still clean and the paint had no flaws.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He picked her up promptly at 7, taking only 10 minutes to meet her parents (they said she wasn’t allowed to go unless they met her date). &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;They went to the movies. He bought her ticket and even a soda for them to share. He held her hand.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Once again she thought everything was just perfect. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;When he pulled up in front of her house, he leaned over and placed his lips cautiously over hers. She smiled and told him she’d see him at school. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He never asked her out again. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;*&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;*&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;*&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;age 17&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;They were at the drive-in, celebrating the birthdays of many people. The cars were packed and everyone seemed to be hooking up, everyone except her. She moved from car to car, hoping to find someone who was actually watching the movie. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;She found no one and sat alone outside, watching the screen change, unable to hear what was going on. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;When one car started to pack up and leave, she jumped right in, wanting nothing more than to get the hell out of there. The car dropped off right next to her own which she’d left in the lot of the high school. She and a friend got in and they went to their friends’ house. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Stephen followed them there and invited himself in, not wanting to go home. They talked for hours, the three of them, not wanting to leave. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Closing the front door behind her, she bid him farewell and went to her car. Once again, he followed her there, to the door, and put his arms around her. They stood, arms around each other, talking and not talking. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He touched her like she’d never been touched before; he made silent promises as he pulled her gently into the backseat of her car. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;She’d never even known of the world he showed her, the world he led her into. She never even knew she could hurt that badly. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He never even kissed her. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;But she went back; she let him back into her life. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Only a few months later, at a party, they were left alone, locked together in an empty basement. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Once again she let him take advantage; she let him take what he wanted. They didn’t go all the way, he said he wasn’t ready; she knew it was just because he didn’t think she was good enough for him. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He never even kissed her. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;She heard him tell a story later that night, to one of his ‘boys’ about a date he’d been on, about the girl he was actually willing to take out, and about a kiss they shared when he dropped her off after the evening. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He never even kissed her. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;*&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;*&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;*&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;age 18&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;They were in the basement, a large group, watching movies and acting stupid. She’d had her eye on Jake for quite a while and was ready to make a move. After all, when alcohol was involved, everything was much easier. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The party was really kicking up and a large group moved to the hot tub outside. Jake included. She went willingly, prepared to have one hell of a time. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;They flirted and talked, laughed and joked while the liquor flowed. Someone pulled out a bong, a bright orange blow up one that floated in the water, and they smoked a couple bowls. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;She was feeling pretty confident, pretty psyched, she knew tonight would be the night.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;They’d hooked up before, multiple times, but for some reason he’d always stopped, always slowed them down before it went all the way. This time she wasn’t going to give him the chance. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;They made their way back to the basement where someone had turned on porn—really bad porn—and sat alone, not talking, or looking at each other, or doing anything. She felt awkward, he probably did too, but they continued to sit there, silent watching two people have sex on the screen. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The party was coming to an end; people were finding their lost belongings and packing into cars headed home. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Jake looked over at her, she looked back at him. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He followed her up the stairs, to her bedroom. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It started just as it always had with them, the kissing and touching that happens when that’s all that’s going to happen. She wasn’t content with that this time. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;When most of their clothes had been removed, when he’d lost his final barrier of security, she rolled over him, kissing her way from his lips to his chest and downward. She loved the taste of him, the smell and feel of him. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;She surprised him when she raised herself over him and in one swift slow movement, she lost herself to him. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;When they were finished, he turned from her without saying a word and dressed. He left without saying goodbye. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;My first time was supposed to be with someone special, he told her the next day, you’re beautiful but…&lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;*&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;*&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;*&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;age 19&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It was the biggest party she’d ever been to. There were hundreds of drunken college-aged kids there living it up. She made her way to the line for the keg, alone for the first time all night, girls travel in packs, you know. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;A guy walked up behind her, one she’d seen before. His name was Mike, or Mitch, one of those “M” names she was sure. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He was shitfaced, so drunk she imagined he didn’t really know where he was. That doesn’t matter though. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He hit on her blatantly, staring down the low cut shirt and ignoring the eyes she looked out of.

He was a pot head who found no pleasure in anything but a good hit and the video games he only stopped playing so he could sleep. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;When he made the move, they were both really high, she was higher than she’d ever been before, and he knew she wouldn’t say no, he knew she wanted, needed, that attention. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He took the time to lay a blanket on the cold floor of his mothers’ basement but not to take any other precautions.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;When he said goodbye it was with promises that they’d talk later, when they got the chance. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;They never got the chance.&lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;*&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;*&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;*&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;age 21 (this part is not real... i&apos;m not even 21 silly)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;They met in class, the very first day he sat next to her and introduced himself as Eric. &lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;She was shy, scared of what pain another guy might bring. But he was persistent. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;She often came into class to find a little note or drawing waiting for her, he was trying to break her down. &lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The first time he asked her out she said no. the second and third times too. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The first time they spent the night together she knew she had what she wanted. He fought for her, he fought with her, he gave and he took. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He told her what she needed to hear and he heard what she needed to say. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Eric never broke a promise, he didn’t make many but the ones he did she knew she could depend on. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This was how it’s supposed to be. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#000080&quot;&gt; story for my fiction class that isn&apos;t really fiction... it&apos;s actually my story (minus ages 15, 16, and 21 obviously)... and everyone read it not knowing it was mine... and they were throwing around phrases like &quot;tragically beautiful&quot; and not believing that something like this would really happen... guys mostly were saying this... I don&apos;t know how that makes me feel really... I mean... I guess it&apos;s good that some guys think that stuff like this doesn&apos;t happen... &apos;cause it means they don&apos;t do this... but then another guy was like... what&apos;s wrong with this girl that she&apos;s being treated like this... and damn it that&apos;s what I&apos;ve been asking myself for years... &lt;br /&gt;I want something &quot;normal&quot; to happen, just once... I want something that I could never put in a story because it&apos;s &quot;too happy&quot;&lt;br /&gt;I hate feeling sorry for myself... I hate crying...&lt;/font&gt;</description>

  <description>SO watching Queer as Folk is terribly depressing... while I love love love the show, it makes me want things that I&apos;m usually able to forget about... but damn... I want romance, and a man who loves me the way Ethan and Brian both love Justin... ugh... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had a party saturday... none of my friends showed up and while I was very (and I really do mean very, I was about to go hide in my room and cry) unhappy at the beginning, I ended up having a blast. I mean, seriously... I finally met people I feel like I&apos;ve been searching for the whole time I&apos;ve been here... &lt;br /&gt;that too makes me sad... but oh well... better late than never I suppose&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want a relationship so badly... I want someone to hug, to hold my hand... to want to talk to me, damnit... I want so much and I just don&apos;t feel like I&apos;ll ever really get any of it...</description>

  <description>So it occurred to me that I haven&apos;t posted here in a while and it&apos;s a habit I&apos;d like to take up again... so my goal is to write something everyday... even if it&apos;s terribly stupid... so yeah...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I continue to find myself preoccupied with my subconscious need to find a guy... I mean... I really can&apos;t think of much else... &lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s slightly terrifying that I can&apos;t find one... even moreso that I&apos;ve come to realize that I&apos;m almost 21 years old and I&apos;ve never been on a date... shit I&apos;ve never even been asked on a date... or &quot;liked&quot;&lt;br /&gt;what the fuck is wrong with me...&lt;br /&gt;I think maybe I just want to have sex... sometimes... then I think about how badly I want to be in a relationship&lt;br /&gt;... ugh&lt;br /&gt;i have to write a 2,000 word story for fiction by friday... and start another that needs to be around 15 pages for my other writing class... I&apos;m a little worn out with story writing... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m off to bed... thank goodness for DUke... I&apos;d be lost without him...</description>

  <description>The dog peed on the rug again and I’m all alone&lt;br /&gt;The rain outside my window makes me want to dance; or cry.&lt;br /&gt;Why should the hands he placed on my shoulder have set me off?&lt;br /&gt;	As if they themselves had caused all my pain&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first time I’ve been touched by a man in too long to mention&lt;br /&gt;The first time, and it made me cry, tears stream down my face, &lt;br /&gt;The rain has moved inside&lt;br /&gt;	Dark and cold &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to be mad at the dog, he can’t keep doing this&lt;br /&gt;But he’s all I have; my constant companion&lt;br /&gt;He’ll always be there to give me affection&lt;br /&gt;	No one else has been&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It smells like rain and piss and Febreeze&lt;br /&gt;A bad mixture but somehow, some way, comforting&lt;br /&gt;I put the rug in the washing machine &lt;br /&gt;	But I still smell it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn’t go to bed until about 6&lt;br /&gt;No real reason, just didn’t want to sleep&lt;br /&gt;When I sleep I let myself dream&lt;br /&gt;	My dreams only make me yearn for more&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I pick him up he rests his head on my shoulder&lt;br /&gt;I want someone I can rest my head on &lt;br /&gt;I want someone to love me like he does&lt;br /&gt;	He’s just a dog after all&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s raining harder now, louder and &lt;br /&gt;I’ve opened the window to let in the cold&lt;br /&gt;Outside has become inside&lt;br /&gt;	Inside has become outside&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;lost</description>

  <description>Okay, so maybe I&apos;m the biggest loser on the planet... and he was dancing with every other girl in the club... but damn when he came and grabbed my hand... I hit cloud nine, possibly even ten or eleven. It&apos;s been a long fucking time since I&apos;ve liked someone like this, you know, to that point where you just smile thinking about his name... you see him and you can&apos;t stop smiling for hours. &lt;br /&gt;Well... when he grabbed my hand and pulled me into that dance... I was completely lost to him. &lt;br /&gt;I don&apos;t want to like someone like this, it tends lo lead to heartbreak. It&apos;s just because i&apos;m so easily broken. I sit here smiling until I think about what &quot;might&quot; happen then I convince myself to stop because it never will. So far it never has.&lt;br /&gt;I want so baldy for him to be the one to fill the hole that&apos;s in my heart... I want to be wanted that way. &lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s been too damn long&lt;br /&gt;I can&apos;t stop smiling&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;d give anything to make this happen... anything.</description>

Normally that wouldn&apos;t bother me so much... but, well... today is my birthday and it&apos;s 5 PM and I haven&apos;t seen anyone... I just, I don&apos;t know... it&apos;s kinda depressing... I&apos;m tired of being depressed... damn it</description>

  <title>LOST... I&apos;m so lost</title>
  <link>http://kelsey7227.livejournal.com/17400.html</link>
  <description>I&apos;ve recently come to realize how little confidence I really have. I mean, I have such a hard time just being me sometimes, I don&apos;t like me, I don&apos;t feel like other people like me, and I&apos;m scared as hell to let myself be liked. &lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s not like I&apos;m trying to do this consciously, it&apos;s just that that&apos;s how it comes out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fear of being happy, fear of being hurt, fear of being sad, or mad, or angry, or just for once being loved. I&apos;m scared of everything that isn&apos;t but I hate so much that is. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s like I&apos;m stuck in a self-imposed slump. I&apos;m not happy here, but somehow I&apos;m comfortable being unhappy. How can I let myself continue life this way?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I need to change but I don&apos;t know how, I don&apos;t know what to change</description>

  <title>I should be happy right now</title>
  <link>http://kelsey7227.livejournal.com/16445.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;FUCK... i hate my life so much. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Classes ended today... I only have one take home exam in the form of a short paper and 2 actual tests to take. I should be happy that I&apos;m so close to being done. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m fucking miserable. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nothing can ever just be good. I don&apos;t know why but for the past week almost I&apos;ve been crying myself to sleep every night. I don&apos;t know why I&apos;m so unhappy. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There&apos;s nothing worse than feeling like you&apos;ve worked your ass off to make friends that don&apos;t care about you. They just take advantage of me. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I got out of class at 9:30 today and when i got back my roommate wasn&apos;t in our room. So, naturally, I called her. She ignored my call. About an hour later she and another friend come back. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She acknowledged the fact that she ignored my call by saying her phone was on vibrate. She had to know I&apos;d be calling. I&apos;ve gotten out of class every Tuesday all semester at 9:30 and if she wasn&apos;t in the room, I called, just to see where she was. Then about 3 minutes later she turns to our other friend and says &quot;okay, let&apos;s go&quot;. Did she invite me, no, not until I asked where they were going, she asked if I wanted to come as an afterthought. Like, well, now I feel bad so do you want to come? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No I don&apos;t want to go with you because you obviously don&apos;t want me to go with you. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fuck Them ALL!! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hate it here. In class I&apos;m surrounded by interesting smart people that I just want to get to know better but I&apos;m just the quiet insecure girl who never says anything. WHY? because I&apos;m scared to death of people. I&apos;m scared of people not liking me, I&apos;m scared of people liking me. I&apos;m scared to get to know someone because when you really know someone, when they really know you, they just let you down or decide they don&apos;t really like you. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At least that&apos;s how it&apos;s been in my life. No one has stayed by my side. I&apos;m so scared of what might happen if someone decides to try. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m scared of feeling the way I feel for the rest of my life. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;More than anything, I&apos;m scared of being alone, as completely and truly alone as I feel right now. I can&apos;t deal with it anymore. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don&apos;t want to be alone anymore&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <title>FUCK</title>
  <link>http://kelsey7227.livejournal.com/16275.html</link>
  <description>I feel like I only update this when I really need to vent abuot something upsetting or sad or when I just need to whine. Unfortunately, that&apos;s all I have to do right now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really hate myself. I really do. I know what I want, I know what I deserve yet I always settle for anything I can get; which is usually less than anyone deserves. I just &quot;fooled around&quot; with a pretty much random guy. Yeah, but I wouldn&apos;t even call it foolng around. No, because he didn&apos;t even touch me. To be perfectly honest, no one ever really has. I hate that I&apos;m so fucking insecure and lonely and I find myslef so undesireable that I will settle for a meaning-less blow job just so that I can feel something; any kind of a connection to a man. Deep down I know that I deserve better but I am so fucking tired of being lonely that I&apos;ll settle for the bottom of the barrell a ten cent whore wouldn&apos;t even touch. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish I could say that I feel used, that&apos;s it&apos;s all his fault. But fuck, I need that connection, I need that reassurance. At least I think I do, then 10 minutes later I just hate myself. I really feel like I can&apos;t do any better, like I never will, so I&apos;ll take what I can get... It&apos;s just not enough... I guess I&apos;m just not enough. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do guys look at me and know that I&apos;m the type of girl who will give them what they want without expecting anything in return? Why do I continue to let them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There&apos;s nothing in the world that I want more than for someone to kiss me, to hold me, to give me a hug without sex being a part of it. FUCK... I didn&apos;t even get the kiss or the hug... I never have... I don&apos;t think that I ever will. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I need more but I don&apos;t know how to get it... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All I&apos;m left with right now is tears on my pillow and pain in my heart. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know I&apos;m not attractive, I can live with that. I can&apos;t live with the pain that comes from being an easy target, it&apos;s tearing me apart. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel like my heart has been trampled by a horde of elephants. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe I should try to do something about my depression... go talk to someone or something... but that&apos;s my other problem. I&apos;m so scared of everything... I&apos;m so scared of being told I&apos;m depressed (even though I know I am)... I&apos;m so scared of falling apart compeletly... Even though I think I already have&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m so ficking tired of being me... can&apos;t I just be someone else for one day... Can&apos;s I just be the type of girl a guy asks out instead of prepositions...I want to be the type of girl a guy actually wants to date instead of the type a guy uses when he&apos;s horny and can&apos;t find anything better. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&apos;t want to be me anymore. I want to leave my life and find a better one.</description>

  <title>What&apos;s Worse than Losing Your Best Friend?</title>
  <link>http://kelsey7227.livejournal.com/15990.html</link>
  <description>Today has been the hardest day of my life. We put Dillon down yesterday. I of course had to watch, I had to stay with him. There&apos;s nothing harder than watching him take his last breath, than seeing the final flutter of air fall from his mouth. I&apos;v been scared of losing him since the day he had his first seizure but nothing could have possibly prepared me for it. I think that the worst part was seeing the tears falling from my fathers eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It just keeps getting worse. I couldn&apos;t sleep in my bed last night. Dillon slept with me every night for over 13 years, I couldn&apos;t be there without him so I spent one long sleepless night on the couch. Everywhere I look I expect to see him. He&apos;s no longer following me around, sitting at my feet so that I could pet him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s so hard for me to believe that I&apos;ll never get to touch him again, that I&apos;ll never hear his happy bark or fell his warmth on a cold night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It sounds so dramatic but fuck, I miss my puppy.</description>

  <title>How do you say Goodbye?</title>
  <link>http://kelsey7227.livejournal.com/15704.html</link>
  <description>Very early this morning I was awakened by my dog who was having a seizure. As he&apos;s a a few I sat with him, helped him through the actual seizure then the recovery then let him out of my room as he needed to walk around and regain his bearings. A little more than an hour later, around 7:30 my mom came into my room to let me know that my dog was still seizuring, almost continually without recovering. I walked down the stairs to see my dad, who should have already been at work, hunched over the dog with tears in his eyes. I of course was and have been hysterical for the past 3 hours now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He&apos;s stopped seizuring, at least he hasn&apos;t had one in a little over a half an hour but he can&apos;t walk, he doesn&apos;t know where he is, who he is or who I am. He&apos;s just laying in the middle of the living room, covered in his own urine and feces as he loses control of his bowels when he&apos;s seizuring (I have been trying to clean him up.) He can&apos;t stand up, he&apos;s tried, but I think one of his seizures paralyzed the back end of his body. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hate being an adult. As he is for all intents and purposes my dog it&apos;s my decision what to do. I want to be selfish, I want to pretend he&apos;s fine and keep him alive for just a little longer. He&apos;s been my companion and best friend for over 13 years. I can&apos;t do that to him, just to look at him now, his poor blind eyes searching for something. He&apos;s scared of everything. Lost and confused. I have to put him to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&apos;t know if I&apos;ll be able to handle it. I don&apos;t know how to deal with this. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do you say goodbye to your best friend?</description>

  <description>&lt;font color=&quot;#6600cc&quot;&gt;So totally sucky... The hard drive in my computer died. What does that mean... well... I&apos;ve lost all of my files... everything... I have to buy a new one, get it installed and start over with the whole damn thing. so frustrating. i took it to the geek squad.. they are doing a diagnosis... which is 60... then they can maybe get my files and stuff off of it... which will cost 200... then the actual hard drive is 150 and to have them install it is 40... &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#6600cc&quot;&gt;SO frustrating... oh well..&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;School starts in a little less than 2 weeks... I&apos;m not sure How I feel about that... I&apos;ll have to let you know... &lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <title>I hate Severus Snape</title>
  <link>http://kelsey7227.livejournal.com/14933.html</link>
  <description>Well, I hat J.K Rowling, I hate Professor Snape, I hat Draco Malfoy, and Scrigemore (I don&apos;t think I speelled that right) and I don&apos;t think that I like Harry Potter anymore for that matter. I think i just spent about an hour reading that last 100 pages or so and crying. I hate them all, with a serious passion. I could kill them all, all of them... each and every one. Except that I want to know who R.K.B. is... what the fuck man, that&apos;s no way to end a book... AHHHHH... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the bright side, i LOVE Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I have seen it 4 times now and can&apos;t wait to see it again!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also got all of my money back, for those of you who care to know... so I guess it wasn&apos;t as catastrophic as I had originally imagined. I&apos;m to bed now, or something like that... ha ha ha...</description>

  <title>When is ever enough?</title>
  <link>http://kelsey7227.livejournal.com/14629.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#660000&quot;&gt;So, I have a hilarious story to tell... some jackass from Hanoi broke into my checking account... my balance should be 1268.07... what my balance is... 58.07 they stole over $1,200.00 from me in under 15 minutes... is it okay if i just go shoot myself now? I just don&apos;t understand how they managed to do this. Don&apos;t ever sign up for paypal, because that&apos;s where they got my information. Can you possibly imagine what it&apos;s like to have that much money, that I&apos;ve been working really hard to save up, just taken. I mean, it&apos;s gone. I have no money and no checking account anymore because of course they had to close it. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#660000&quot;&gt;I just want to go curl up in a corner and wither away. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#660000&quot;&gt;AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <title>Desperation</title>
  <link>http://kelsey7227.livejournal.com/14544.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff6666&quot;&gt;Do you ever get to the point where you feel that there is no point at all because you can never come out on top? I feel like my life is one giant competition and I can&apos;t even begin to compete. I&apos;m so tired of people not knowing me, not caring to know. I&apos;m so sick of coming in second. I feel like no one that&apos;s around even gives a damn. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff6666&quot;&gt;I&apos;m scared. I&apos;m falling for the completely wrong guy. It&apos;s not that he&apos;s a bad person or anything, it&apos;s just that I don&apos;t stand a chance, at all. I stand a better chance with... well, that&apos;s not important. This whole thing is completely rediculous. I&apos;m so sick of being me. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff6666&quot;&gt;Depression sucks. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff6666&quot;&gt;What can I do though?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <title>I&apos;m such a Failure</title>
  <link>http://kelsey7227.livejournal.com/13688.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#cc0000&quot;&gt;AHHHHHH... I just feel like crawling up in a ball and crying like a 3 year old. Everything right now sucks... I have a final tomorrow that I am going to fail (I failed the midterm... and I can&apos;t study for this one, I have some sort of mental block or something) I&apos;m so depressed about it. &lt;br&gt;I&apos;m so beat, so ready to have a break. I got back to my room at about 8 (after this poetry party where I sat in the corner alone the whole time) and cried for about an hour... now my eyes burn, my head hurts and nothing good came out of it... well, maybe something good did... I no longer feel like crying, I suppose that&apos;s good since every little thing has set me off for about a week now. I just want to go home damn it. But I have 3 more tests to fail. &lt;br&gt;I can&apos;t deal with people anymore. I&apos;m so emotional I can&apos;t have a normal conversation like a normal person. I hope this summer goes well, that soemthing interesting happens otherwise I&apos;m going to have to choke a bitch... ahhhhhh&lt;br&gt;I&apos;m so unhappy...&lt;br&gt;I&apos;m almost packed all the way... on the bright side... I&apos;m bringing home about 10 loads of dirty laundry, but I&apos;m a lazy bitch, so what are you going to do. &lt;br&gt;Robot Chicken is fucking awesome.&lt;br&gt;I made 60 bucks on some books... have a couple more to return. Maybe I&apos;ll be able to buy myself something pretty... probably not though because I have to pay for a cab to the airport... fucking bastards. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#cc0000&quot;&gt;I have so much shit that I need to throw away but I don&apos;t feel like it... ha ha ha... my room is a mess even though most of my stuff is packed... FUCK&lt;br&gt;&quot;I just made a doodie... In my pants&quot; (Robot Chicken)&lt;br&gt;I&apos;m going to go read now, FUCK tests and Skidmore. &lt;br&gt;Out&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
