[If this is sparse it's because it's late and I"m exhausted. Will elaborate more tomorrow night.]
Dearest Darlingest Classmates,
I'd like to thank firstly everyone who voted for me. Quite literally I couldn't have done it without you. Thanks especially to those who said, "I voted for you!!" because it put me in a really good mood all day to feel like i had so much support.
I'd like to thank Mr. Goffin who inspired me to never give up from the start, because of that story he told me of the girl who kept losing until her senior year when she finally won a class election.
I'd like to thank Sal, who since 8th grade has had my back in these elections, and is a fantastic friend in general.
I'd like to thank Devon. Goodness knows what I'd have done without Devon. He was always there encouraging me before I ran, hugging me when I lost, making snide comments about those who won to make me laugh, and keeping me going. I'm so happy I could make him proud.
I'd like to thank Ash, for getting me especially through the loss last year, and encouraging me and celebrating with me this year.
I'd like to thank anyone who smiled and said, "Congrats!!" to me at dismissal today, and/or the 30+ people that liked my status thanking everyone. I've never felt so loved or accepted by my class...ever. But it feels amazing to feel like I really have support.
As for anyone who didn't vote for me (like most likely Cissa and Holli): Shoutout to my haters, sorry you couldn't faze me!
Thank you. Thank you so very very very much. You can't imagine how much it means to me, really. Thanks.
Love and Cupcakes,
Your Newly-Elected Senate Representative :)

The Axiomatic Musings of a Teen who's home doing math homework on a Friday night...again.
Because I actually haven't had actual plans since Junior Prom. It was awkward to explain this to my mom.
Mom: So if you have some free time this weekend, you could go to the movies with some friends!
Me: More like if i had friends, I could go to the movies with some friends.
Mom: Did all your friends just like, leave?
Me: I guess. Most of them sucked.
Mom: Oh.
Me: Yeah. Um. Good-night.
Although it's not as hugely pathetic as I make it out to be...honestly, I don't know what I'd do if I did have plans. I'm like, not used to hanging out with people, it'd probably be really awkward :P. I'm content just chilling here working out and doing math, my abs and GPA could use the help.
And a realization. Although I feel horribly terrible about this, I've determined that there is a definitive bubble of comfort around me. Where if a friend stays outside the radius, everything's hunky-dory. Even on the radius is cutting it close but I can deal. But, if they start to try and help me, or tell me what to do, or become too involved or focused on my life, I freak. I absolutely freak. I just can not even deal with it, I just shut down and don't want to talk to or be around them in case they try to come any closer. So then I do everything I can to push them far back out of my bubble until I feel comfortable again. And I know it's so not even fair but like...there's nothing else I can do. I do NOT want a hero, I do NOT want dependency, I do NOT want one of those "You broke past my walls and proved you cared so now I love you" stories, that's disgusting. I want to be left alone.
Although, in the words of the lovely Audrey Hepburn, "I want to be left alone, I don't want to be alone."
I perplex myself. Anyway. Back to math homework. I hope you're all having a lovely weekend, and I hope anyone attending Senior Prom has a fantastic night!! I can't wait to see pictures!!
And any juniors: Vote for me for Class of 2012 Senate! :)

Just because I love you guys.
If you're reading this on Sunday, May 8th, I HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR YOU!
Inbox me on Facebook or text me the password "Omnomnom" by tomorrow at 6:30am (cuz that's when I leave for school) and I'll be sure to save you one of the cake pops that i made this weekend and will be bringing in tomorrow morning. (Members of my AP Lit class excluded because I'm bringing some to the review session tomorrow night).
If you don't get to inbox or text me you can obviously still have one, but it's on a first-come-first-serve basis. This is the only way you can reserve them :).
Love,
The Geek in the Pink

The Axiomatic Musings of a Teen who loves new baby spring leaves.
Something I took on a walk this afternoon in my woods with my favorite silver leaf ring. Today was a fairly nice day. Sal is still being a darling, I told Ash to never speak to me again because he doesn't deserve a friend like me, and Devon keeps telling me about this new girl he's crushing on, it's adorable :). Only thing that was a little disappointing was that Stephen (codename for this guy I may or may not find very very attractive) wasn't at school today :P.
SAT'S TOMORROW WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :'( :'( :'(.
And I'm gonna write my next occasional paper sometime soon so once that's done I'll post it up here too! :D
So good luck on the SAT's tomorrow if you're taking them and have a lovely weekend otherwise :).

The Axiomatic Musings of a Teen who had an unforgettable time at prom!
YOU GUYS YOU GUYS YOU GUYS YOU GUYS YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!
SAL CAN DANCE! :D
Prom was just a great day. I got my hair done beautifully (in a style similar to the link I posted, but i think it looked better than that picture), and my makeup came out just right (and I did it myself :P). Sal looked great too, he cleans up very nicely :D. The corsage he picked out was perfect, and I pinned his boutoniere on the first try! The pictures came out absolutely beautifully. I had a great time taking them at Chico's too, lots of people were there, the food was great, and his parents are some of the nicest, most genuine, most hospitable people I've ever met. I got a zillion compliments on my dress from both the kids and the parents, my favorite was when they told me it was the absolute perfect dress for me :). I really thought so too, and even if it wasn't the same long style as most other people's, I think it was just right for me. So that was nice.
Prom itself was great. The venue was very pretty, the food was yummy, and everyone was in such great spirits. The music was iffy, too much bad club music for my taste. BUT! Mr. B (who runs the ballroom dance club) was there, and he suggested that some of the songs had cha-cha beats. I went out on a limb and asked Sal if he remembered how to cha-cha from when I taught him back in like, freshman year. After a little review, he totally did! And we cha-cha'd to a bunch of modern hip-hop :D. And he wasn't half bad!! Then when the slow song came on, I asked if he remembered how to waltz too, and he did!!! So while everyone else swayed side to side, we had our own little section of the floor to walz and spin and dance and he didn't miss a single step and it was just perfect. That's one of those picture-perfect moments I'll definitely never forget.
I also wanna comment on something I was talking to Sal about because they'll probably read this and i hope it makes them smile. My friend Hope and her boyfriend (I've used his real name before but we'll give him a code one and call him Leo) were dancing together and whatnot last night and every time I looked over at them, I couldn't help but smile because just the way that Leo looks at Hope is just so incredibly sweet. Like you can tell at a single glance how much he cares about her and it just makes me so happy. I'm really happy for them and I hope they continue to look at each other that way for a long time :).
I also did dance with Ash a few times briefly, it was nice. He said I looked gorgeous and he looked quite dapper himself :). Definitely too good to be dancing with her. So be it, though. Karma works ;).
Afterwards, my dad picked up Sal and I and we just went back to his house. We watched "The Other Guys", some other shows they had DVR'd, and had a really really nice long talk about stuff. I could go on and on about what a sweet and caring friend he is and how grateful I am that I have him, but I've posted about that before so I won't bother :P. It was just a really perfect evening. And then when I woke up we had pancakes, waffles, strawberries, and bacon. Like a legit full-on family breakfast, it was awesome :D. And now I'm just sitting at home, chilling out. I'm thinking of going outside to read in a little while, it's a beautiful day.
Life right now is actually pretty darn good :).
