When the Pawn…

The past two weeks have been very inter­est­ing. Things with Jamie seem to only get worse. I still haven't talked to her about things since the foot­ball game, and she's since seen my rather unfor­giv­ing arti­cles on playfulHATE.com… so has Lizzy and her other friend Angela, who has since attacked me via e-mail about them. I'm not extremely wor­ried about that, though.

My only con­cern is mus­ter­ing the courage to face Jamie. I don't know how, but I've for­given her. Even if what I've heard about things she sup­pos­edly said is true, I just don't care any­more. I've been way too bit­ter for way too long, and it's time for me to let it go. I'm going to try and be friends with her, whether that will work or not isn't really known at this point.

I will feel the after­shock for quite some time, though. Sim­ply because I've lost so much of my trust for peo­ple in gen­eral, espe­cially girls. And it's gonna take some time for me to get that back, but I'm sure I will. It's time to move on. Accept and move on.

I've all but lost my friend­ship with Dan. Sup­pos­edly my best friend. As soon as school started, he re-arranged his pri­or­i­ties. Unfor­tu­nately, this arrange­ment did not include me. He feels that Julie deserves all of his time. I posed this con­cern to him. His response was that he would try to bal­ance his time, to this point he has not. So that's gone. It's a shame, too. It's really sad to all of a sud­den be non-important in a person's life. But it'll be okay.

Last Thurs­day night, I was inducted into the Inter­na­tional Thes­pian Soci­ety. It was really a lot of fun! I and my friend Natalie per­formed "The Time Warp" from The Rocky Hor­ror Pic­ture Show. Wow. And me, not being a per­former, was scared out of my mind. But it got a good laugh, and I felt as if I had con­quered a demon. Per­haps I'll start to expand now in The­atre. Who knows.

I asked my friend Kris­tine Gal­latin to Home­com­ing. I've liked her since last year, and I finally decided to do some­thing about it. She said no. Her rea­son? Because she has to work. It's okay, though. Cortni and I decided to have an anti-Homecoming party at her house. Interesting …
