Good News: I accomplished my goal in high school. Bad News: I'm paying the consequences now.

The biggest goal I had in high school was not typical. I didn't care if I fit in or not, didn't care about my grades too much (I just wanted to compete with and be better than the rich honors white kids), didn't care if I made many friends (or enemies, but I made quite a few), or cared about popularity. My biggest goal in high school was this: be ( Read more... )

I think something that bugs me more than anything is how enlightened everyone pretends to be without genuinely noticing the other people around them. I also hate when people interrupt you when you talk. I don't know if your old identity is holding you back, but I know you are an amazing man. There's something about you that I recognized right away (partially why I found you attractive). You have the talent and the drive, and you are extremely individualistic. Other people might not notice, but I do. You got me into a whole new, fantastic music scene and I'll always owe you for that. It's an amazing gift you've given me; I've never heard anything like some of the stuff you've given me. You've opened my eyes to a lot of things just by being you and I'm so glad I have you in my life. I'll always be there for you and I'll always be your friend. If you don't want to hang out with someone, you don't ever have to. I won't ask you. It takes a strong man to stand by his convictions for this long and and even stronger man to decide to change ( ... )

Thank you darling. I think I've just always brushed things off whenever people decide to not give me credit for anything. I guess the heavy build up from all of that finally came around to me. But you know, there's nothing I can do about it anymore. Oh well. I love you too.

PS: You give me way too much credit. :)

Hey! You Rock anonymous January 6 2008, 07:08:53 UTC
The further away in time you get from high school, the better you'll feel about where you are and justified in the lifestyle and mindset you crafted for yourself. Forget those losers; they'll only do as they know while you keep learning and finding new things to love.

Anywho, based on this entry and the seeming asshole-ness of people who tried to mooch off your coolness, I think we should chat more. Maybe some of your charisma will rub off on me.

NIIIIIIIIIIIIICK!!! jimbannockburne January 6 2008, 20:44:55 UTC
Lemme know who needs a Tiffany-inspired windshield :) It's quickly becoming a Bannockburne tradition LOL

So umm...if I've fallen onto the list of people that piss you off regularly (or lump you into groups) I'm sorry, man. Wasn't my intention to bug you. I know that's a tough one to believe, coming from an older brother and all, but it's true. I think I would like to know you better, man. I vote we get together with booze and Julies and good discussion :)
