Who would have thunk it?

Who ever thought it would be possible,
For a Babbit to be emo?
Who ever thought that a rainbow would turn grey?
Who ever thought that
The sun would go away,
Or that love would hurt so much?
That cold would be more comforting than warmth,
And that alone would be way more pleasant than togetherness?
Who ever thought that
Music could be the only medicine,
Or that work worldn’t seem to matter,
Or that everone seems to turn from you when you need them most?
Who would have thunk it?

long rant

Submitted by pineapple_babbit on February 19, 2008 - 22:39.

I think.... I may get over it.... I mean.... There will be others, right? And he said that I may have a chance someday, right? and he is still my friend, right?
I learned a lesson though....
The guy that was what he called "Helping" me said that people will respect me more if I tell them what I want and that I shouldn't be afraid of asking anyone out because I am a smart and beautiful girl.... *I wonder if he meant on the inside or out...*
But........
I am still sad....
that's the only way he wasn't perfect... he said he hated writing... *sobs* But that was it.... otherwise, he is a perfect guy.... and I still like him... *sigh*

Well, I've given my self

Submitted by pineapple_babbit on February 19, 2008 - 22:52.

Well, I've given my self time to think over it, and I'll be fine..... *If y'all don't mind me talking A lot...*
There are others, and there has to be someone that fits 100% of my standards instead of 98%.... And I have a whole, long life in front of me. With college and everything else that comes after that... That and I've had a few days to ponder this.... *Happened on Sat.* So.... I have vented most of my saddness, but there might be one, maybe two more depressing poems... Then, I am not going to let myself write any depressing poetry... I will be back to happy, peppyness.... *determined*
I am going on a trip tomorrow.... Trips make me happy... oh! AND SQUEEJAY IS SOOOOOOO LUCKY!!!!!!!
So........ apples, we have to get together with the brain this week to learn more about imaginary numbers and to play the wii............ That and I want to go to the movies with robotics people and I may invite you two.... I wanted to see the movie called Charlie ...... something..... anywho, it looks good.... But... we may have to see something more pg-13 because the other one is rated R... Oh wells, its getting late and I should prolly get going.... night to anyone who decided to read this!

Submitted by apples on February 20, 2008 - 17:13.

Well... we need to get together with the brain for you more than for me... considering I did the whole quiz right! Well... at least the imaginary numbers part... But we CAN'T do it on Friday because I'm gonna be in Springfield all day visiting my aunt (she just had a baby!) But any ohter time (I think) is fine...
