My piece (De)composition was chosen as a winner in the AAUW writing contest, so that's exciting. It'll be in an anthology with the rest of the winning pieces, and my family and I get to go to some reception where I have to read it in front of a bunch of people ( Read more... )

I finally cleared out all my old, useless emails and spam and organized all my important emails into folders. My email had been constantly reaching 100% storage and blocking new emails on and off since the beginning of the school year, but I never had the time or the motivation to take care of it anymore than deleting 10% or so of the spam. It's ( Read more... )

I can't even put into words how I feel anymore, and I think that's the saddest thing of all.

I tell you too many things. I tell you
the story of my entire existence,
and yet I barely know you.
All you speak of are the
trivialities, the bare
surfaces of a soul
of unknown
depth.

So, today was disappointing... Why I even expected anything to happen, I'm not sure, but I suppose it was rather foolish. I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried to let someone know I was interested. I guess either the hint was not taken or was pointedly ignored. So fine - I'm okay with that; I have to be ( Read more... )

4. I love reading, and I wish I had more time to read books that weren’t for school.
5. I never ( Read more... )

1. Hi my name is... Kayleigh!
2. Never in my life have I... died, haha.
3. The one person who can drive me crazy... I think I do a good enough job of that already, thanks.
4. High School... is pretty awesome, most of the time. Except for stupid homework.
5. When I'm nervous... I either get shy and awkward or act really insane, it depends.

Sorry, I've been way too insanely busy and tired to update in quite a while.

I did want to stop by, however, and say 2 things:

Bad news: I'm not moving on to become a National Merit Finalist. But I'm okay with that because I didn't really expect to, anyway. It was nice while it lasted.

Good news: I might've said before that I was accepted to ( Read more... )

but I'm in that other world where I'm so wrapped up in my own thoughts that I can't really put anything into words. Or, as I described it to KK, "When every song is about you or somebody you know and every little thing means everything. When you feel too many things at once to be any one thing at all. That's me." I love it because I learn so many ( Read more... )
