"The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved"- Victor Hugo

I love my boyfriend, Buddy, with all my heart. He's the sweetest, funniest, hottest, best ever boyfriend I've had. I met him in September, through our friend Sarah, and we were just... attracted to each other. I have no idea how to explain it other than after I met Buddy, I can't imagine being this happy with any other guy. Despite my firm belief, he's not perfect- he has flaws like everyone else, he has some baggage he brought with him, and he's caused me some pain over the six months we've been dating. But he's been worth it all. I'd rather keep him in my life, despite what happens, then lose him entirely. There's only one huge bummer- last week, he moved to Michigan, so now I'm in a 2100-mile-apart relationship which, well, SUCKS. I didn't know it was possible to miss the hell out of someone so much in 7 days, especially the... physical longing. But we talk every day, we email, we Facebook; the modern age was MADE to support this type of communication. It's all we can do. He's worth waiting around for, I know it. He's been worth everything.

Govenator vs. LAUSD

I am all for teacher protesting. More power to them- no more cuts, keep class sizes low, pay them more, etc. But that doesn't exactly mean I like being on lockdown during 1st period. That doesn't mean I want crazy kids looking for an excuse to miss class trying to bust down doors. Look- I went to school after the anti-semetic terrorist threats were found. I stuck out chemistry long enough to take that god-awful make-up test. But that was IT. I was done, I had my fill of bullshit for the day. I got dad to take me out early. So instead of discussing Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Dubya Dubya 2, I went to Pasedena, to In-N-Out, to take pictures of my dad and his childhood friend in $40 Ebay tuxedos. And it was damn better than sitting through school. So, in a way, thank YOU psycho teachers and students making passing trucks honk for support- you give me reason to start my weekend early.
