BandFromSociety is the Essence of Beauty

rocksupastar by rocksupastar · May 3, 2004 · 220 views · Journal

So... seems that im doing ok for this month of pioneering... well as much as i can tell from 3 days into it. I really enjoy going out, its a whole lot more fulfilling than a day a work. On one hand i hope that I dont get a job till the end of the month so i can get my time fairly easily... but then on the other hand... having money would be a good thing... soo.


Its somewhat amusing seeing the difference between 16 year olds big deal and a 21 year old big deal... back when i was 16... things were so different, just a total different outlook on life... kinda funny tho. I dont miss the daily truamas of being a teenager one bit. Everything seems very trival now, but back then we took it more seriously than a funeral... ha


Kinda odd im writing in this journal... i dont really have anything to say... kinda felt like babbling. I think E has a good idea here... well, if people used them the way they are supposed to be used... Journals like diaries are snapshots of a particular moment in your life. Nostalgia (i dont care about spelling this late) really makes you appriciate the things youve gone through and where your going. I used to have this old Yahoo mail account that I kept all my old emails... so funny how one email carries such emotion with it. You can read an email and remember where you were and what you were thinking at that moment that you got it. Some of them bring a smile others... well... somethings are better left in the past.


I remember when i first started coming on this website... i never really was THAT close to Iwz... but funky has been one of my closest friends since... well since forever. It was weird, i wasnt the most social person and between ian and dean chatting about programming and all the other chaos going on, posting something seemed a little daunting, but i did. and now it grew on me and part of my daily schedule... kinda lame i guess, nature of the beast when your a computer nerd... employed or not. I considered disabling comments on this... just cause, well i dunno... i just was babbling, but why not give Yay and I Like Birds another spot to flirt... my journal is as good as any i guess.

I seriously know what you mean about the emails. And i remember being a teenager, wanting to get out of high school because iknew life would be easy when i had a job and money..

skaorsk8 #3 skaorsk8OG 2002

dude, sometimes i miss the teenage life, only because i could go to school and then skate from 4 PM to 6 un-interuppted. sure, i didn't have money to buy video games but the ones i got i could play until i finished them...but i hated the school/learning part, and being unathletic in gym class wasn't fun either

socalgal #3.1 socalgalOG 2003

were you bad at dodgeball =(

skaorsk8 #3.1.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

hmm yeah pretty much. somehow around 11th grade it got easier, for some reason. gym class became better too.

and, yeah, good use of the journal section. this is what it's supposed to be. and, really, almost all posts in this section should have comments disabled, cause they're really just supposed to a box for your thoughts.

I have all my old emails from like 1997 onward, I think. it is very weird to go back and read through them. it's like a box of old pictures, but different, cause it's thoughts and feelings. i get way too sentimental reading through that stuff.

i also have a shoebox full of "notes" i got from girls in high school and letters from friends and stuff. man that stuff gets me all misty eyed haha.

nowadays i'm way too busy; i do miss the carefree lifestyle of my teenage years. even though, as you said, back then it wasn't so carefree. everything was life or death, right? haha..

good times, tho, good times. now and then. both good times.

thatdarngirl #6.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

I have all my letters and notes from like the last 8 years! I love reading through them and laughing at all the things that were such a big deal, or just seeing how silly I was (and still am).

I burned all those kinds of notes when I got married, IAN! Sheeesh, does Mikayla know about all your secret affairs?

iwz #6.2.1 iwz

haha, i don't really think any of them are from my ex-girlfriend or anything. mostly just notes passed around in school, you know you know.

and hey, wait, i'm sure your wife has all her stuff too. she's super sentimental.

yay #6.3.1 yayOG 2004

hey bro blow your nose with some ice

perrin #6.4 perrinOG 2004

Yeah I was just looking the other day at old saved emails that I've had for years and it's funny how slowly over time I've lost contact with people that I used to know who moved away. it just seemed like we just kind of wrote back to each other once in a while then we just seemed to stop. I can't even figure out why. Wierd.

socalgal #7 socalgalOG 2003

this is a great entry supastar!

i do remember my teenage years...i wish i had that kind of "stress" again. the stress of my friends and i worrying about was who was taking us to the beach, the stress of being able to capture the "latest" trend before anyone in my school, the stress of daddy making a big deal of my spending habits...ah to have those pressures again!

I too still have "love" letters from jr high and high school and i crack up when i re-read them. i remember what song was playing on certain ones, i remember what i was wearing, what the others around me were wearing, i can remember what the person's voice was like....so crazy

web-toedchloe #8 web-toedchloeOG 2001

I remember what you were like when we were teenagers... annoying. Now you're cool, though.

I didn't keep any love letters from past guys either. I did for a while, then a year or two ago it started to feel like that stuff was holding me back. I got too nostalgic. It's lame, but I feel more like a grown up now that I've let go of those years, those experiences. I've grown from them. Plus, I think I'd really be upset if I found out Donovan was keeping letters from his ex-girlfriend.

rocksupastar #8.1 rocksupastarFounder

haha... i probably sound weird, buuut... i burned or threw most of them out... lol, ima nut... i know

thefunkyfresh #8.1.1 thefunkyfreshFounder

hmm... i've never gotten any letters, not sure if i would keep them or not though

thatdarngirl #8.1.1.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

No..you would have to! Like, ten years from now you can read them and laugh..it's great!

perrin #9 perrinOG 2004

So are you going to work with Andrew or not? lol

violetboregaurd #10 violetboregaurdOG 2003

I gotta agree - the idea of the online journal really takes whatever it is that is going on in your life and gives it an avenue to just "post" it. I love that - snaps the the creator and all it's participants.

englandkid #11 englandkidOG 2003

i just turned 20 a couple of weeks ago, but so far I really DONT miss my teenage years. They were the worst years of my life. So much bad stuff happened, and I think it outweighed the good. I was happy to see my teenage years go.

perrin #11.1 perrinOG 2004

I felt the same way when I turned 20.

yay #12 yayOG 2004
