The Best Deceptions

I heard about your trip. I heard about your souvenirs. I heard about the cool breeze, in the cool nights, and the cool guys that you spent them with. Well I guess I should have heard of them from you. I guess I should have heard of them from you.

Don't you see, don't you see, that the charade is over? And all the "Best Deceptions" and "Clever Cover Story" awards go to you. So kiss me hard 'cause this will be the last time that I let you. You will be back someday and this awkward kiss that tells of other people's lips will be of service to keeping you away.

I heard about your regrets. I heard that you were feeling sorry. I heard from someone that you wish you could set things right between us. Well I guess I should have heard of them from you. I guess I should have heard of them from you.

I'm waiting for blood to flow to my fingers, I'll be all right when my hands get warm.Ignoring the phone, I'd rather say nothing. I'd rather you'd never heard my voice. too late to be gracious and you do not warrant long good-byes. You're calling too late

well, i guess sometimes in your life, you have to let go of everything. whether it be your friends, your family, or your life. the things you love the most, the people, who say they care... sometimes you have to let it all go. i look at my life.. and i wonder how much i have really accomplished. sometimes i try so hard, and in the end, i just get bitched at for every little thing i did wrong. from basketball, to school... i try, i swear.. but what comes out of it in the end. nothing.ive been wanting to transfer schools, even though this is my last year. i mean, obviously i have been bringing drama to peoples lives, and i know running away from it all, wont do anything.. but it would at least help everyone who i have hurt. i mean, leaving and not turning back.. its like, the only option i have. lately, i have been having so much fun. like last night... i went out with john, my cousin, and jed and matt and bj.. it was so much fun, just to hang out with them again, its like.. i havent seen them in forever! and then.. we ate at noodle planet, and played drunk basketball. i didnt drink though. but just to be around people who wont judge you, who wont keep talking about the PAST.. omg.. i had a lot of fun. but then when i have to go back to school.. and face everything that was in the PAST... i cant take it. its funny how people look at my wrist, and say, are you ok? and i smile, and say yeah.. of course. but no one really knows how i feel... i think i gave up on opening up to people... i think i gave up trying to figure out what love is.. i think i gave up on everything... the only thing i will never give up on, is praying. praying everything would get better.. "i pray..."

ok, so last night was.. an O.K night. DAVID actually calls to ask me to go out to dinner with everyone at ISLANDS. it was.. i dont know.. i dont kno what it was.. but i know what it wasnt. it wasnt the same. so... Karen.. Edgar.. David.. Ashton and I.. went to Old Town Pasadena, walked around. it was pretty gay. so yeah.. supposedly they went to san diego, to spend the night at a Girls House or something. but then.. Im Not Even Jealous! its like.. no more feeling? i dont know.. so anyways. i went to the doctors last night.. lots of problems.. so.. i went to the mall.. with two homies. lol. and then... at SPENCERS jan saw a shirt, and it was talking about *pussies. and he said which one are yours? and i was like.. "this one, [clean] this one [tight] and... this one [shaved]" lmao.. and then! some random guy behind us, was LISTENING! and then hes like.. "so.. eh.. whats your name again?" and we all started laughing. he was KINDA cute.. lol. and then CARL was like.. Huh?! lol. he was all confused. so then.. we went to cHQ... those little KIDS ARE SO CUTE!! lol. they were all high.. it was funny. fLOwY JOEY's little brother is so adorable. haha.. hes so funny. and then.. some weird chicks were there, and then one kid came up to me and hes like.. "dude, she's giving blow jobs to everyone." lol i was like what the hell! it was kind of funny i guess. so then.. i came home around 11... and then i went out all  by myself!!! yay. i was a loner, but then alex saw me walk by his house, so he came with me. he was all flirting! and then we talked about JOsHUA.. for a while... and then about JOEL*. sigh.. ah!! no tears... sigh.. oh well... anyways i went to old town.. i walked! it was kind of cold. and i think im sick now. but it was fun going out kind of by myslef... but with alex there lol. its like.. theres no one who's going to yell at me for doing anything anymore. its like.. i can do whatever i want. its pretty cool i think. well...
