This may really random, but I've been thinking a lot about book endings. Many were disappointed with the ending of Breaking Dawn since everything was settled peacefully. And many were happy with the end of Harry Potter with the huge fight.
So I've been thinking. Would people rather have a love story that ends with
1)the main character ending up with the guy she met at the beginning of the story
OR
2)the guy who she used to be friends with and dated for a little while, whose heart she broke.
The first guy she met after moving to a new school. He kisses her once and she can only compare it to the one guy she has kissed before so she thinks its amazing. They are good friends but nothing may come out of it if they don't want to.
The second guy is one whom she had gone out with a couple times but nothing amounted from it since she moved. He was in a band and after she moves she hears the band on a station that wants to play local talent (they still live in the same region, just apart and he has no clue where she is) play a song by his band. Throughout the entire song he whispers her name in the background (so heart breaking).
The final decision comes at prom night and she needs to choose.
So which you you perfer to read? And which one do you think is the more over used one?

Bored
I really shouldn't be seeing that I have so much work to do, yet I can't concentrate on it. It seems I work best when I'm avoiding other work. The only problem is that I have no other work to avoid. Sure I could be reading the rest of the stuff for English, maybe complete the questions, but I don't want to. Instead I planned on working on the scholarship again but it seems I can't, I distract myself with pointless stuff instead, like writing a post on how I'm not working on it.
I know the scholarship must be post marked by the 31st, and I am nearing the minumu amount, but it feels like I have so much more time than I actually do, especially since with Christmas coming up everything is about to get even busier.
I'm know fighting with myself just to stop from writing this post, but I really don't want to since it is something else for me to do. Maybe my better judgement will win and I'll get something done today...

Boys, Girls, Love and Crushes
I know most girls can look at a guy and say I'm not worthy of him. I may say that even though I know that there is no difference. I got this tree quote from Nire's fanfiction account, and she most likely found it else where.
-Girls
are like
apples on trees.
The best ones are
at the top of the tree.
The boys don’t want to reach
for the good ones because they
are afraid of falling and getting hurt.
Instead, they just get the rotten apples
from the ground that aren't as good,
but easy. So the apples at the top think
something is wrong with them, when in
reality, they're amazing. They just
have to wait for the right boy to
come along, the one who's
brave enough to
climb all
the way
to the top
of the tree
Of course many people look at it and say it is an excuse, giving us who don't date, never been kissed, and whatnot a reason why they don't have a guy. If you ask me part of the problem is that guys normally go for looks first. Like most teens they think about living in the moment and forget about the future and the fact that people change as they grow up.
I'm lucky to have friends that think like me, cause if they didn't it would make life harder. Sure we're all different when it comes to experience with guys, but over all that means nothing. They don't look at me, look at the guy then say good luck he's out of your league. Instead they agree with me, try to figure out why I like the guy, and then bug me about it every chance they get.
Either way the biggest bet right now is that the guy will never find out about my crush. I claim one day someone will put two and two together. My friends claim I act no differently around him then any other time, but I point out that during spare I'll be quiet, yet other times during the day when I have class with some of the other guys on spare I talk quite normally, and most likely am not as red since I seem to blush easily.
The other bet is that someone will slip the nickname out in front of him. You know those little code names so guys can't tell who your talking about. The only problem is now if we are talking about him, during the long msn conversations in which Maxine, Nire and I bug each other about the crushes, we are constantly using the code name even though no one else will see what we type. It has nearly reached the point where it is more like his name than his real name.
My number one question for myself right now is: confess or not? I'm not so worried about getting hurt, but rather just knowning that I've been turned down. I know I'm not the 'normal' girl that every guy looks for, but sometimes guys need to learn that a little off center can be a good thing. Who knows I may confess before graduation or wait until it hopefully fades out and gets replaced/

Still Procrastinating
It has been *checks last published time* about 3 hours since I claimed I would go back to working on my paper. I'm now up to one paragraph, and a lot of history on the Internet. Although I did eat supper which is a plus. Now to try and finish the paper and the rest of my homework seeing that Nire claimed that she will be online at some point tonight, leading to a loss of time since the conversations turn really funny too fast, and if Maxine is online all hope is lost for anything getting done, because the three of us together creates enough craziness to take over the world, and yes that is a random thought.
If you can't tell I'm rambling on about nothing really as a means of procrastination since no one is online right now. Although proof that Nire and I can change people comes from Olive. She was quite the normal person before the two of us changed her. Sure she is still a good student, but now she has some strange thoughts that make little sense expect to those like Nire, Maxine, and twin 2, as well as me. Trust me, if your normal and hang out with the beyond weird they will turn you.
I guess I really should stop rambling and try to write the rest of the paper before I go to sleep, because I already now that I will be stopping around midnight because I missed the first showing of Naruto and must catch the second on the west time of the show.

Writing a Paper
I've never really been one for writing formal papers for class, which is why at this moment I'm avoiding doing so. Although this time I really got into the research for it. The paper's focus was poverty, in Canada or around the world. I know some will choose Canada since it's where they live. Some will choose The States because that is where our textbook printed and contains the stats we need. Others, like my friend Maxine, will choose Africa as their point of focus. I wanted to do something that would stand out, but that I had enough information on since my grade in Peace and Politics needs a little improving.
While searching for information on some European countries, since I had no plan at the time I noticed a couple different sites mentioning the fact that the information was not completely accurate, I looked further into the matter and discovered it was due to the Roma living with in the area. I looked further into the matter and realized I could base my paper around that. The only problem was the fact that I should double check the idea with the teacher since I wasn't basing my paper around one country, but rather a group of people spread about the world.
I managed to get the approval so I began my research. I have come across quite a bit of information. I also have the ability to show that people are not only doing charitable work (improves quality of life for the moment, short-term) but justice (working towards a future good, long-term) can be found due to some programs.
So all the information I have, helpful, the fact that I know what I'm writing my paper on, good, all that's left to do is write the paper, horrible. I for one know that my formal writing skills match my grammar skills, nonexistent. So grammar can be corrected by friends, but friends can't write papers for you. What I can write is fiction, stories, those I can do. So it took a while but I figured it out while I was trying to think of the opening paragraph. This paper is like a documentary written out, in other words like a script. So to overcome my problem of horrible formal writing skills what I know is being turned into a script, and from there shall go into full paragraphs complete with quotes, citations, the works cited page, and bibliography.
That and I must stop procrastinating since the paper is due Monday, there is always the chance I won't get a computer during spare to work on this, I also have English homework, summarizing events that occured in chapters 18-21 of The Kite Runner, a book I suggest that people should read, also due Monday, as well as a test on Othello on Wednesady, and I haven't touch my math homework from Thursday. *sighs* So much work, I'm happy I only took 3 classes per semester even though universities will use my top 6 grades for entrance marks.

A Little Bored
I've been working on the scholarship application again, and have reached a point that I can't pass due to writer's block, and I really need to finish it, because I need to have it done around the end of the month and am still short of the minimum number of pages. Anyways in my boredom I found a new Japanese band that I love, Arashi. As well as some shows that I can watch when I get so much work done, as a reward only. So in my not being able to keep going I stopped to take a few quizzes. Two of which related to the band, and here are the results.

Forever...
It really has been forever since my last post. My life has been beyond hectic.
October
This years Pilgrimage had over half of my school walking it. Not only that but together the school managed to raise beyond last years limit. Last year we had managed over $40 000, this year the total raised was closer to $50 000. Together, three Catholic high schools managed to raised around $90 000. The best part is even though my school is the smallest population size (yet most likely the most crowd) we managed to raise the most money once again, surprising the two teachers who use this fundraising as a competition to see who's class can raise the most money. Neither won the hot breakfast this year.
In October I began working on a scholarship application, that of which I'm still working on. It had reached fifty pages and gained popularity among my friends. I sent it to one last night, her original plan, save it to the computer for later. She read the first line, and decided to just read the first part. In the end she read the entire fifty pages, noticing only a few more noticiable mistakes.
Near the end of October, I let my mind change slightly. I ended up with a crush on one of the guys in my class.
November
I have decided that right now I need to focus on my school work. While I'm still working on the scholarship application, I need to focus on school work once again. English is a basic class. My problem is that in Peace and Politics there are not enough notes, the teacher goes on a tangent with a subject only a few understand. We have few marks in that class and midterms are coming out. I know my mark in that class will be low, and that I will need to bring it up with applying for universities soon. Math is bugging me since I have no ability to use reason in the thinking section of my tests, which brings my mark down. I'm just hoping to pull it back up to normal be the end of the semester.
As of today I have decided to like no one guy. I have decided that I shall leave love up to destiny. There's no point in focusing on something that isn't of up most importance right now. I also believe that only bebing seventeen there are so many things I can still discover.
Although I may hate it, my plan for now is to complete my scholarship entry, send it off, all while I continue to put my main focus on schoolwork once again. It seems that what it comes down to is cutting myself off from the world. Locking myself in my room with my music and books for school. I shall let myself out for twilight, but then again many will do the same. It may be a while before I post again, but I hope to be able to post more before the end of the month.
