What Happened to "Love Takes Time"?

I've always been more on the observant side. So, these past few months, I've noticed that many a person will start dating someone, and within a two week period, they will be claiming that they love such and such and that they are going to be with so and so forever. Now, call me old fashioned, but that just doesnt make ANY kind of sense to me. Since when do you know that youre going to be with someone forever in, say, two weeks? I mean, get real. That isnt love. That is lust. I mean, love isnt something that you can just fall into one day and fall out of the next. To really love someone, you have to know them for a while. You have to have been with them for a while. You have to pretty much know each other heart and soul. And, last time I checked, you cant do that in two weeks. Getting to know someone takes more than just asking them about themselves, or reading their "About Me" on myspace or whatever. To really know someone, you have to be able to say that when their laughing, they twitch their right eye or something. (I dont actually know someone that does that, I just made that up.) For you to be able to say you know someone, you should be able to tell me what they do when they fall asleep at night, or how they sneeze, you know, just the smallest things. Love is the same way. You have to know everything about that person, and, with TIME, come to love and cherish all those little things that they do, like twitch their right eye when they laugh. And when you're apart from them, you miss all of the little things that they do. Even the little things that drive you absolutely INSANE and that you wish they would stop doing. If you really think about it, if the person you loved stopped doing the things that annoy the piss out of you, you know you would miss them. That's what true love is. Looking past all the imperfections and the little things. Love the things that are perfect about somebody, because nobody is completely infallible.
And remember kidds, Love really does take time. You arent just going to find the perfect person for you tomorrow. (You might meet them, but you won't know that they are the perfect person for you until you actually get to know them). Knowwhutimsayin?

Overworked and Underpaid.

i hate feeling this overworked and i hate having to stay up til ungodly hours just to keep up with all the dang work. and thats another thing. im getting sick and tired of people telling me "if i can do it, so can you" because im not anybody else, i dont function like anyone else. so if you could do it it doesnt mean that i can. i am a completely different individual and i work in completely different ways than most people, so i dont see why if someone else can do it, why i can. i have different work habits, i study differently, i learn differently. i am soooooo ocd about what i do and it gets me so mad that people tell me "you can do it because i did it"
i mean, how stupid is that statement? "You can do it, I mean, I did it". C'mon, lets get real. im sick of it. just because you did something doesnt mean i can too. not eveyone is made the same way, we cant all do the same things you do. it just makes me sooooooo mad when people tell me that. i cant always do what you can. thats why i ask you for help.
i am just so sick and tired of being tired and feeling overworked and always feeling like im on the verge of crying because i cant finish anything because i dont have the time. i dont have a life anymore b/c im always doing school work. im sick of it. i want out of one of my AP classes b/c i really cant take the work load. i am NOT capable of it, no matter what anybody says. i always like to have my work in on time, but i have had so much of it lately that i cant handle it anymore. i mean, i can sit on my butt for five minutes and have three nights of homework to do. i know i signed up for this, but idk if i can take it anymore.

I'm Sick and Tired

of hearing about people's "love stories". i mean, for real, im happy for yall, but you dont have to talk about it every single minute of every single day. it gets old, and all us SINGLE people out here get tired of hearing about how you and your love did this yesterday, or how you and your love are going to do something later. i dont want to hear it, and im sure im not the only one!
my best friend is dating this guy, and i honestly almost cant stand to hang out with the two of them. ever heard the expression "third wheel"? well, i know all too well what that feels like now. its not very fun. sitting somewhere hanging out and then all of the sudden they start sucking face. it gets kinda old. and it REALLY gets on my nerves when im trying to have a conversation and then i have the sudden urge to HURL. it's not all that fun.
so here's to all you "love birds"...
keep your love lives to yourself, because i know that i DO NOT want to hear about it.
okay?

I Think We Have An Emergency.

I think we have an emergency
I think we have an emergency
If you thought I'd breathe then you were wrong
Because I won't stop holding on
So are you listening?
So are you watching me?
If you thought I'd breathe then you were wrong
Because I won't stop holding on
This is an emergency
So are you listening?
And I can't pretend that I don't see this
It's really not your fault
And no one cares to talk about it
To talk about it
Cause' I've seen love die way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
I've seen you cry way too many times
When you deserved to be alive
Alive...
So you give up every chance you get
Just to feel new again
I think we have an emergency
I think we have an emergency
And you do your best to show real love
But you don't know what love is
So are you listening?
So are you watching me?
Well I can't pretend that I don't see this
It's really not your fault
And no one cares to talk about it
To talk about it
Cause' I've seen love die way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
I've seen you cry way too many times
When you deserved to be alive
Alive...
So much pain will not fade away
And no one cares to talk about it
To talk about it
Cause' I've seen love die way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
I've seen you cry way too many times
When you deserved to be alive
Alive...
Alive...

That song is called "Emergency" by Paramore. I've noticed lately that almost every song that i listen to has at least one line that is WAYYYYY too specific to my life, or to a relationship i have with someone, whether it be a friend, someone i want to be more than a friend, whatever. it's really starting to scare me, honestly, but i digress.
this song actually parts of it fit MY life, and parts of it fit someone else's life. this song, when i really started to think about it, sounded exactly like a friend of mine. she has probably told me all of this stuff, but i just didnt really listen, and i still dont. lol.
ok, does it scare anyone that i do most of my thinking while im driving the ten to fifteen minutes home everyday from school? if not, then good. if so, dont worry, i still pay attention to the road and all that jive. but anyway... i sit there in the driver's seat and im just listening to my paramore cd and im just thinking. thinking really hard, might i add. and this song comes on, and i just start absent mindedly singing while im thinking. and it hits me... this song sounds like something my bestest friend has told me over and over and over again. i guess i just needed hayley williams to tell me for me to get it. lol.
the part that starts at "cause ive seen love die..." all the way thru "alive..." the first time, britany has told me something like that SO MANY TIMES. seriously. she's told me that i am apparently too scared to do anything (and i dont disagree with her) so i just give up any and every chance i ever get (which i do not disagree with). i mean, she HAS seen me cry wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too many times, but that doesnt really stop me. and i mean, britany isnt the only person who's told me stuff like this. all of my best friends have at some point and time. ive had people tell me that i dont know what real love is because i havent experienced it. ive had people tell me that im just a bloody coward (which i really dont disagree with). but i can only think of two or three people who would say "and i cant pretend that i dont see this." really. it's sad, really.
i am a girl of many friends, but of those many friends, i can count the ones that are really there for me on one hand. there are many who would say that they are really there for me, but they just say it. their words are empty, and i know that better than they do. but that is a topic for another day.
