Who has time to write these things?!?!?

Listening to:

I see... My computer monitor and keyboard, and well, all the other computer-related stuff, "Drops of Jupiter" sheet music, a graphing calculator, a beer mug from the Philippines, my mom's Palm pilot, a coffee mug, lots of floppy disks, and a Bath and Body Works Coconut body cream thing.

I need... to lose weight :P.

I find... Mandy Moore to be extremely overrated.

I want... EVERYTHING!!! Okay, maybe not everything. I just want to be happy. Which, I guess, I am. But I want to be happier. There, that's better.

I have... lots of things...

I wish... I had three wishes ;)

I love... almost everything. Boys (particularly Canadian ones). My family. My best friend. I don't hate anything, except for a few choice people who will not be named, soda, and eggs.

I hate... Breakfast foods, Mandy Moore/Britney Spears/Christina Have-no-hair-a (or anyone who fits into that category), and when my parents tell me that I'm going to go to a community college. And I hate being wrong, and being corrected RRR. Haha.

I miss... my mommy!!! Not really. I don't miss much except my cousins Anne, Alex and Jordan (the two last ones passed on, Anne just lives in Ohio).

I fear... drowning, sharp pointed objects, winged insects, and so much more. I am easily frightened.

I feel... bored, and kinda sad that I'm not going back to camp next year.

I hear... The TV talking about the IGIA Twist-a-braid.

I smell... like roses :D haha just kidding. Nothing.

I think... that it's not so hard to tell who likes you and who doesn't.

I crave... Nothing right now. I'm not very hungry.

I search... for hot guys. Everywhere. And for a way to balance all of the things I love to do without having a conniption.

I wonder... when my sister will grow up. And if my parents would like me more if I got better grades and lost weight. Cause sometimes it really seems like they're not satisfied with me *tear* I know I know.

I regret... lots of stuff. I tend to act before I think, so I've made a lot of mistakes. AND I'M SORRY FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM...Okay God??? Okay.
