First Post

Hey! So, I never really planned on starting a blog. I was never going to be one of THOSE people, you know? Of course, I was never going to be one of those wannabe-popular kids, and then seventh grade happened....at any rate, that was a few years ago, and I'm in high school, and I'm a different person. I'm not exactly the most optimistic person in the world, so I figure, if I go through a bad day, I can vent to the world without anyone ever really knowing who I am or actually reading what I have to say. Keeping a diary and writing bits and peices of angsty poetry for myself just isn't going to cut it. So here's some key information for your journey with me through this blog.

My Life in a nutshell: I'm an unpopular high school student, theatre geek, unathletic softball player, wannabe dancer, Gleek, and various other things. Most importantly, I'm a loser. Listen to Corner of the Sky from Pippin. It's on YouTube. I checked. At any rate, that song totally and completely describes my life. Various facts about me - I am a triplet, I wantch Buffy the Vampire Slayer reruns, I hate listening to teenage actresses sing on YouTube (when they're actually good) because it reminds me about how much I completely wish I was them and I'm not, I'm in love with various older men - all of whom are celebrities, ect, insert loser-esque information here.

Now onto the actual post. Here is a little angsty poem to get you guys started:

I'm treading water
Alone
In a sea of familiar strangers
Do they really know me?
Do they really think they know me?
Do they even care?
Words aren't directed at me
Conversations happen
Secrets are revealed
But I'm invisible
The only reason I'm still included
Is because they never noticed me in the first place
Drowning now
Trying to swim to the surface
Does anyone notice me?
Will anyone pull me out?
No one takes the time to care
I'm alone
Surrounded by familiars
People I've known for a while
I've learned their secrets
I've been a part of their lives
But they've never even cared
I sink
Falling to be bottom
In my sea of familiar strangers
People who know who I am
Who talk to me
People who don't really know me
And will never even bother to take the chance
