Wizard of Oz and Wicked

I'm in a family of scarecrows though Fiyero was hot when he was still human.
Just so there's no confusion my name is 'wickedgirlie' from the musical Wicked, and girlie because that's what I call my friends.
So if my family is all scarecrows does that make me the Tin Man or the Wicked Witch? As long as I'm not Glinda. I love Elphaba and Boq is a jerk so lets go with Elphaba. I don't see how Nessa's spell worked. He never had heart to begin with. Or a brain. Maybe that's why he's hollow. Hehe.

Hmph

Well today was a complete waste of make-up. I never thought I'd ever really say that but what do ya know. I did. I was particularily cute today and Janix didn't bother to show up. Hmph.
Now, I'm not a girly girl but I enjoy looking hot. More importantly I like when I happen to catch a guy watching me walk by. (Yes, it happens. Even if Orion never bloody realized it. Again hmph.) This one time a girl commented that I wasn't very tomboy in my tank top and hip hugger jeans. I told her it wasn't about looking the part, I like looking hot, and then I looked at her boyfriend who was 'subtly' checking me out and said, "looks like your boyfriend agrees." She was pretty pissed. Hehe
Back to Orion... It's a shame that Dante didn't create a circle of hell for for stupidity but then again that circle would be overflowing and no one would ever get to heaven. (I'd be in the Eighth Circle in Bolgia 4. Hey, at least I'd be i n the fortress or whatever.)

Shyness (Mysterious of Men Part 2)

Guys are so impossible. While I acknowledge that I'm horrible at the subtleties of reading between the lines, would it kill a guy to recognize that I'm asking him out? I mean really. Yes, I know that it's the 21st century but I hate making the first move. I recognize that Janix is shy but so am I and if we both wuss out nothing is accomplished.
Dammit, dammit, dammit! Yes, I know that wasn't particularily eloquent but it was what came to mind.
I always thought that I was comfortable in my own skin but is my shyness a flaw or is it just my personality?
Sincerely,
Shyness...

Pain in the Butt Cards

I love my tarot cards, really I do. They're just capricious, fickle pains in the butt.
What psychics don't want you to know is that tarot cards have emotions and minds of their own. These reflect the reader so try to get a psychic that really is as serene as they all pretend to be. If the reader is mischievous by nature, so will her deck.
Mine like mind games. They always tell the truth, okay they usually tell the truth, only problem is that truth may not be what I asked. Or they'll give really obvious answers that make you think well duh. I coulda figured that out on my own.
Yesterday I asked about Orion. I asked if he had feelings for me: yes, yes. I asked if he hated me: no, yes, no. If he loved me: yes, no, yes. If he'd make a move: a difinitive NO. If he was gay: yes, yes, no.
...Oh dear. Maybe Isabelle was right all along. Either that or the cards are really enjoying this. Brigid (My cards) are seriously enjoying this.

Cute Guys

There's a cute guy in one of my classes and naturally, he has a girlfriend. Totally figures huh?
I was with Isabelle and Rin and we were talking about cute guys.
Rin: There's a 50-50 chance of that happenning.
Isabelle: It was more like 20-80.
Rin: That's kinda mean.
Me: No. She's right. Actually it's more 20-30-50. 20% chance he's single, 30% that he's gay, and 50% that he's got a girlfriend.

GRRRRR!!!!!! Why does it have to be so bloody difficult to find a cute guy? Really?

Bigotry

Last night I was watching CSI: New York. It was the episode where a Nazi soldier was found after he sold a brooch that he stole from a Jewish woman that trusted him to get her and her family across the border but instead he delivered her to Auschwitz. I cried. It didn’t matter that the story was fake; for another family it was probably true.
When I was 14, I went to Germany with my grandmother, my cousin, and some other students. We went to Dachau. I stayed within the walls for maybe five minutes before I wanted to run as far away as I could and purify myself. I had to settle for the bus. It doesn’t matter how they cleanse that place it is tainted. It is as close to hell as I hope ever to be.
Once again, I sit and wonder. How do people do that to one another? How can people kill and torture another human that bleeds like them, that cries like them, and feels pain just like they do? How do they honestly believe that their victims are no more than animals?
Ignorance breeds prejudice and fear. One day I’ll be a history teacher and I want to be able to try and stop the hate but for now, I’ll light a candle for those that didn’t deserve to die be it to intolerance of religion, nationality, race, or just because someone didn’t like them.
Carlos Santana said “Those that do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” So remember the past and try to make the future a better one.

New Years

Okay, these are the things I have learned this year and no they're not in chronological order.
1. Diets suck. I am a total junk food junkie and have managed to resist my beloved sweets for the most part and walking off a lot of it. And despite all this I've only managed to drop three pounds.
2. Never take math as a night course.
3. Don't take friends for granted. Many of them are only temporary so enjoy them while you can.
4. Men will always be morons. It's like a terminal disease that they suffer.
5. Scratch four. Everyone will be moronic at random points of their lives. Men seem to be a bit more often though.
6. Every so often it's good to indulge the parentals. Just make sure they remember that when they become old and decrepit you'll be picking their retirement homes.
7. This is gonna sound kinda hypocritical but kiss that boy. Even if you don't want anything more it's nice to take that off the list of regrets. Admittedly...I probably will never do that to Orion but I will to the next guy.
8. Growing old is required but growing up is optional.
