not much need be said
some sentiments are better read
now's your chance so go go ahead
hey well.. i was cleaning out some drawers in my room, getting rid of all
the clutter i don't need and what not.. and i actually sat down for the
first time in years and read through some of my old high school
writings.. and i thought, hey i was actually pretty good.. emotionally
disturbed? YEAH SO WHAT YOU GOTTA PROBLEM WITH ME YOU WANNA PIECE OF
ME??? oops sorry.. HEHEHEE. ...anyway so i thought, it would be nice to
sift through it all and pick out the ones i liked best and post them
up..it will take me a while to get through the two binders full of stuff i
have but i thought it would be worthwhile..so, there it is. yes a lot of
it is the naive unpolished rambling of an awkward teenage girl but some
of it actually has some real depth.. i think, looking back and reading it
again. i hope you get some enjoyment from them. - L. (hard to portray in
regular printed script.. but try to imagine a pretty flourishing L, kind
of like Z for Zorro.. L for Lisa..nevermind.)

be nice to post these on here and have a record..i'm going to keep posting

always have new stuff to add..
if you turn your head 180 degrees you
will have a perfect picture of me being photographed upside down, with a
smile not a frown..had enough silly rhymes..come back again another...day
;9 i don't even think i look that pretty in this picture, and my frumpy
taste in fashion shows in the plaid blue skirt and faded olive shirt.. but
for some reason this is my favorite picture of myself. i guess because i
remember the day it was taken so clearly, just a relaxing quiet day
hanging out in the dorm with my best friend towards the end of sophomore
year, and whatever worries i had i can't even remember anymore. this
picture captures my best memories of college for me..and you know
what, i liked myself with all my frumpiness and naivete and
inability to apply makeup.. i'm sick of the people who make fun of
me for those things as naive or whatever.. some things are best left
unknown. i like the fact that i err on the side of being too generous, i
like that i care about people too easily and i like that i don't get any
personal pleasure from hurting people back who have hurt me. if somebody
sees those qualities as weaknesses in my character, then it isn't worth my
trying to explain anymore because they would need to shift their entire
perspective before they would ever understand what i was trying to
say.
