Conrad

Once soared above the clouds

As gracious as one could be

All wishing they could be

But now let fall astray

Smiled bright, champion

Down in the deeps, alone

A switch so fast, it hurt

Emotions of faraway confused

Did all like one

Now nothing but one

A helping hand

Timid, but slowly reaching

First Day of School

Tecniqually today was my second day of school-but oh well. i started out the day in geography class-also my homeroom. my teacher mr.hanson is awsome. in fact i think all my teachers are great. anyways, in geo we just got handpouts, played this game survey thing and then just chatted-pretty much the same today as well.

Next i headed to drama which i was totally sykd for. turnds out that non of my friends are in any of my classes. i mean i know pretty much everyone but either their not my type of people or they dont like me-which is true to most girls-they try to compete with me over popularity-which im losing my the way, but im not upset. i have started to change. i can sense it. ive calmed down and i dont flirt with every guy and im not showing off and im not acting like a bitch and have even became a little bit shy. i must say-before...i was hott, now im cute. and i think i like it. i mean of course i miss some of it but i have changed. even my clothing, my pants and shirts arent as tight and i even wear t-shirts which in grade 7 was like totally unthinkable. and now that ive changed i realize how much of an idiot i was, am. i still have a punk attitude but im not as much as a um slut i used to be.

okay well, in drama we all sit on the floor-i know-weird. but thats just what we do. and we sit in an alphabetical circle-going by last names. its like this circle and you sit with the person whos lasr name is after yours is on your left. now my last name starts with an A so i sit beside B and Z. good thing about this is that alex B and his brother ian are beside me. now i dated ian a while back-we didnt blend well. but alex, the older one in grade 10 i totally like. i mean usually i go for the bad boy or the quirky clown but alex is sporty and he wears like dress shirts and pants that sit at his waist-but arent tight at the rear-and nice clean white n black shoes and a silver watch-totally not my type right-but i like him. now i promise that will never happen-me and alex? ya right-im not his type either-not even close-i think we will probly be best as drame partners like yesturday. do i sound like a freak? i hope not. and alex if your reading this-im sorry-but i dont lie.

anywho, lunch came and apparently grade nine girls are the only people who eat, everyone else just sits around taking up space talking and flirting-(which is how i used to be).

3rd period i had english with ms.stewart, now at first glance sge is freaky and mean but once you get to know her shes nice and fun. not much happened in english i have typical respond to the story homework-which i have to finish-one question left-which involves the computer-actually thats why i came on in the first place-havent done it yet.

last but not least i had french. now i was worried because all of my friends-who are in applied-said that theyre teacher is awful and mean and crazy. but i am in acedemic french, which turns out has a different teacher, and she is awsome!!! she just had a baby and yet is bacj to being scronny already.

honestly, my classes are horrible, im alone. and i dont think i could have made it even this far if i didnt have douglas. we arent friends or anything-probably never will be-but he is 3 of my classes and no matter what he can make me laugh. all i have to do is look at him and im happy. its weird but he just has this vibe that is cheerful. you have to meet him to really understand.

anyways, 8pm and wipeout is coming on, plus i have to wake my dad up, so ill talk to you later

You know that you love me xoxo Holly

Best of 2009 summer

yoyo all people of the internet-yesterday was one of the best days i have had even though tecniqually it was a disappointment-which in a way made it better. on Saturday my parents and i headed down to Kincardin for the weekend. we had a reservation at a bed and breakfast which turned out to be right across the street from a deserted, yet beautiful beach. we went swimming and let the waves pick us right off our feet. it was great. later on my family and i went and did miniput-surprisingly my mom won. after, we ate at crabby joes.

the reason we came down to Kincardin was because i had a soccer tournament on Sunday-yesturday-that started at 9 in the morning (which we lost by the way.)

even though the day was disappionting, my team played the best we ever have. it was amasing, we were passing and talking to each other and we were really supportive-we still lost-but we were amasing. it also was great because the whole team (we are a girls 14 team) went swimming together at a really nice, large beach that was great. we were laughing and playing and got some really good happy photos of us all goofing off. it was some of the best fun!

we played a few more games and then 2 of my friends and their families went out to dinner. all 10 of us headed out to a pub/restaurant where we had some of the best and worst food. again-more soccer and then my parents left to go see a concert and i went swimming again with the same two friends and their families. it was soo great because the three of us got to bond and laugh and tell stories and share feeling and it was one of the best days for us three together. we felt like we were back at new life-a camp the three us went to with another one of our guy friends earlier this summer-so much fun by the way!

the three of us talked, jumped over waves, surfed on waves, swam, flirted with guys, and jumped off this 30 foot peir into freezing cold water. it was soo much fun. emma left and then it was just victoria and i, we never really get to just be alone together and we had so much fun-after a couple of hours of doing absolutely nothin' in the water we decided it was time to eat dinner so me and vics family went to subway and i get my predictable foot long sweet onion chicken teriyaki on italian herbs and cheese bun with tomatoes, lettuse, sud sauce, light mayo, and that other sauce that i cant remember the name of.

anyway, even though we all ended the day tired, sore and with spitting headaches of dehydration and too much sun when running like you have to piss cause youre so nervous, all day-it was one of the best days ever.

the whole summer i havent got out once with friends-besides camp but that doesnt count-so it felt great to finally living out what summer is all about. it was great and i am soo happy we lost-because we didnt ge to play as many games as the better teams, and we were able to relax and just hang. best day of the summer-by far.

for once i am writing to yal with good news and a happy tale.

you know you love me xoxo Holly

Hey

My name is Holly-as you may already know-or not. School is coming-im freaking out. i have a new boyfriend, we have been going out for about a month and a half and i do truly like him its just that it feels wrong. when i was going out with Tyler, i missed him every second i was away. when we talked, nothing else mattered. i could look at his picture and cry because i was so happy he was mine. i loved him, actually LOVED him. he left me for another women, but i still miss him. i think the problem is that even though i like jake alot and like talking to him and i do miss him when hes not there, its not the same. i think i still love Tyler. after all that happened, its still him i think about in the middle of the night. im not over him. and not im torn. i mean, i have to get over ty. and i feel bad because i dont want to out with jake if im also thinking about someone else. i feel like im cheating on jake. but then again, i dont want to loose him because hes my best friend and boy friend and i dont want to let him go. i dont want to dump him because i still like him-its just that i also like tyler. i dont know what to do-i need help-and now im worried because ive been told that there are many guys who would be perfect for me that i havent met yet. and my friends who say they know guys who are coming to our high school-i get excited. like, what i fall for a third guy? and then forth? its happened to me before. i had 5 guys i couldnt chose from, and in the end i lost all of them. i dont know what to do. You know you love me. XOXO Holly

Used

I dont know what to say
My life feels like its in pieces
Why does it have to be this way
With all the lies and the secrets

Why is it Im the one
Who everybody thinks is trash?
I mean, maybe I am
But I have feelings too

Im used and abused
Im trying to go on
Im broken and shattered
No one cares to pick up the pieces

Im used and abused
Im broken and shattered
They ise me and toss me away
Its like I never mattered

"Why is life so hard?"
Its not a question I have an answer to
Why isnt there a rule book
For life?

They do whatever they want to me
And dont think twice abou it
Im down on the grownd and crying
They walk by

Im used and abused
Im broken and shattered
Im torn and thrown away
Its like I never mattered

I wish I could smile and mesn it
I wish life was not so hard
Help me dear lord from this pain
Im asking with all I have

Happiness is miles away
The fake smile has worn down
My life is fading away
Will it make a difference?

Im used and abused
Im broken and shattered
Im used and abused
And noone cares

I dont rememeber giving God permission
To make my life a living hell
Why does it have to be this way?
Please someone share

Im used and abused
Im broken and shattered
I crash and burn to the ground
They just step around

Depression taking over
Sadness crepping in
Hatred coming toward me
When will this all end?

Sometimes when you want to cry
And you feel like your gonne die
What hurts the most is knowing you cant
What hurts the most is knowing I cant

Im used and abused
Im broken and shattered
Im used and abused
And none cares

IM USED AND ABUSED
IM BROKEN AND SHATTERED
IM USED AND ABUSED
AND NOONE CARES

AND NOONE CARES

My Life-Song

It is my life, not yours
Can you please leave me alone? Yes, go away!
You have your life, I have my life
Please keep to yourself
I dont need a manager!
God gave me a path, I will walk it
You may be my friend but...
It is my life, you dont run it!

Chorus:
How am i supposed to live my life
When youve got it on a schedule?
You can not go draggin' me around
Like Im your little pet
My life belongs to me
So you better keep with your own
You cannot call the shots 'cause
It is my life, you dont run it!

It is my life, not yours
I dont know how Im going to live on
I wish youd stop, give me some space
No! We are not one
We are two different people
Let me live my life, without your help
You may be my friend but
It is my life, you dont run it!

Chorus

It is my life, not yours
I ama human being, not a toy
It is my life, you dont own it
Yes, it is my life
I can do it as I please
It is my life, you have no say
You may be my friend but...
It is my life, you dont run it!

Chorus
(Tag last line: It is my life, you dont run it!)
