The love triangle
posted by Gabriela on Thursday, February 07, 2008| 1 Comments

Something weird and uncomfortable happened today. I have this friend, let's call him Philipp, and we're not that close but we're very fond of each other. We get along really well, we have a lot of fun together "humiliating" each other, but we are also good friends and care. So, there's this nice balance.

My friends sometimes say we like each other, or that we're going to be together someday. At some point, I started wondering if I liked him, and finally concluded I didn't. That was last year.

Today I was sitting outside of the classroom with Philipp. It was different from other times, we were really talking. We talked about school, about our future (separate futures of course), about jobs, and all sorts of things. Then, his girlfriend walked by with her friends, and they sort of implied that he was cheating on her with me, they were just kidding but it was uncomfortable. Then Danny came up and said she had a question for Philipp, I thought she had a perverted question because she was all mysterious about it, but deep inside I feared that she was going to say something about the "love triangle", and she did. Oh, how I wished to hear a perverted question at that moment. She asked: "Doesn't your girlfriend say something about you and Gaby?" He answered just the way we answer to everything: "Yes, she asks me why I compare everything with Gaby, but I just tell her that I only do that to compare her to ugly things."

See, we always call each other uglies.

But hey, is it my imagination, or he talks about me? And do people notice there's this special friendship between us? And does he like me? Do I like him? I'm so very confused. And why, why is he so good to me? He treats me different. I mean, you should see him, he waits for my mom to pick me up so I won't stay alone, and he walked me home once because it was too late and it was dark, and he noticed that I was wearing new jeans, he always asks me to pet him (yeah, I said pet), and sometimes he even says compliments even if it goes against our habitual insulting. On the other hand, when he hugs me (few times) he immediately lets go and tells me not to get excited about it, and the same goes to all compliments.There are a few times when he "hurts" me, especially when he makes clear that he doesn't like me that way, and implies that's the way I think it is, and that I'm so wrong. As if! It's no biggie though, I'm sure I've said hurtful things as well.

I don't even know what's the problem here. I do know what I want. I want a boyfriend or somehing similar to see what happens. Maybe Philipp won't care, maybe he will care but not show it, but I just have to see it. My mind is twisted sometimes, I know! That's why I only blog about it, meanwhile I pretend not to care with my friends. And I follow my "Deny it all!" policy.

Exhausted
posted by Gabriela on Monday, January 21, 2008| 4 Comments

I don't really know how am I feeling today. It wasn't a bad day, yet, I'm exhausted, and that's weird because I've done nothing, perhaps all my thoughts are exhausting. Suddenly I'm worried about what people think about me, ok, I've always cared, but now it's different. It's like... I know what they may think about me, and I really don't like it, so I want to change. Don't worry it's a good change, I would never do something stupid. I just think people see me as...insignificant, like somebody else's friend. You know...

Anyway, school has been okay, I think I'll do good this year. Sometimes I realize I'm smarter than some of my classmates. Who would have known?

On a side note, I feel like I'm overreacting about something, and it's messing with my mind A LOT lately. And it doesn't make sense. What advice would I give if this was somebody else's problem? Oh, I know the solution...but I'm a coward. So stupid...

So nothing, really interesting, as you can see.

Sorry, I think blogging doesn't make sense anymore.

Kindhearted person in me
posted by Gabriela on Friday, October 12, 2007| 9 Comments

I was chatting this afternoon as I always do, nothing really special going on at my MSN world. Which is my greatest tool for getting all the gossip I need.

Suddenly, a guy sayed: "Hello". This is a guy who says he likes me, but he doesn't really know me, he has only seen me in pictures, which is weird because I'm not that pretty and I look like a fifteen year old girl, and he's like... twenty something.

Anyway, we started chatting. First thing weird happened: I told him I loved Cartman and Kyle from South Park. And I think that disappointed him. Maybe he thinks I'm the all time good girl, and a "good girl" doesn't love South Park or Cartman.

Suddenly he started asking me about my personality. Was I a punk? An emo? A nerd? I don't feel like I belong to any of those so I said I didn't know. And he didn't get it. I felt he was mad at me or something. And then I found out he was. He didn't say it, but he asked me why had I ignored him before. I was like: "I've always answered to everything you've said." FYI, I've even said goodbye before leaving, something I don't do very often. And I didn't block him that IS something (I don't chat with strangers). But he said that it was always him who had to start the conversation, I was like: What?! But I ended up saying: "Sorry". I think he didn't like that because he said: "So what?" Changed the subject, and left.

Ok, so. Was I supposed to start a conversation? I never do, not to everyone, only with some close friends, but that's it. It's not personal!

So, next time I see him online I'll say hello. I don't know if that will do. But I think it doesn't matter that much, because he'll be disappointed sooner or later, I'm not who he thinks I am.

Why on Earth is this bugging me? I've concluded it frustrates me when someone doesn't see the kindhearted person in me. Ok, maybe I'm not THAT kindhearted.

Classmates-friends
posted by Gabriela on Sunday, August 19, 2007| 3 Comments

I think it's time for me to describe some of the social changes I've experienced in my new school. See, my new classmates-friends, are so different from what I'm used to. It's nice and frustrating.

* Apparently the normal state of being is "not single". It's so weird, in a group 0f 45 people just about 5 are single, and I'm one of them naturally. This is not how it used to be for me. I was never a minority when being single. But now, everytime I say I'm single they make me feel like it's a disease and I'm about to die. It's so frustrating. So, I need someone NOW, I don't care who it is. Oh, wait, I do. I'm too picky. But it's too "uncomfortable" being single. What should I do? What do you think? And don't tell me to ignore it and forget about it. I need practical advice, not "being patient" crap. Okay. That was quite desperate. I'm just kidding, say anything, as long as it's advice.

* Everyone talks shit about everyone, but apparently everyone "likes" everyone. The other day I said I didn't like someone, and I thought my comment would be welcomed. My bad. Apparently, even though they talk shit of that person, they like her. It's so frustrating. I don't know how it works! Usually, if I don't like something about someone, I don't like that someone. And just so you get a clear idea of why I don't like this particular person... she said I was ugly! In a polite passive agressive way, but still, how dare she? Even if I was the ugliest person in the world and she was the prettiest, she has no right. That bitch!

* They laugh at my jokes. Sometimes I'm not even trying to be funny and they laugh. The other day I said the word "hygienic" and they found it so cute. That's right, they find me cute. And they find me pretty. And all THAT is new. Did I say they laugh at my jokes? It's so weird how, even if I don't really fit in YET, I feel accepted among them. Suddenly I'm not that forgetable.

I'm making an effort to adjust to all these changes. Meanwhile I have one new girlfriend. I don't know why she likes me. But thank God. I don't know what I'd do without her. A girl always needs at least one girlfriend. Don't you think?

P.S. I forgot to mention how yesterday went, let's just say it was fun and harmless. I'm glad I didn't miss it. And I was 99% sober.

The brightside
posted by Gabriela on Thursday, July 12, 2007| 6 Comments

Today was bad news but somehow I managed to be okay. It's so weird when this happens, I should be crying, complaining, and screaming. But no. I'm looking on the brightside.

I'll be stuck in this stupid suffocating place for at least seven years, and there's nothing I can do about it. I haven't received news from the other school, but that's not the problem. I won't go even if I get in. There's no money to study out of state, so I guess that means I'll stay here for what it seems forever.

How can I be okay?

I probably knew it all along. And I'm still thinking it will get better, and I'm thinking it won't be that bad. What a fool... the same old story over again.

P.S. Believe me, there is a brightside... A stupid brightside.

Last lame post
posted by Gabriela on Monday, May 07, 2007| 3 Comments

Everything feels so weird today. I'm wondering if this will be the day that I die. I hope not, I feel like there's so many things I want to do. I'm not scared, I just don't want it to be today.

Right now I'm regretting putting off so many things... What?! Wait! Maybe I won't die. But if you don't hear for me in a while, well, you know.

Okay, this started as one of my crazy ideas and now I'm actually believing it. I don't want to die!
I didn't realize it. It's too soon. I want do do it all. I want to meet Gael García, I want to be a doctor, I want to write, and I want to know what will happen to my life. I want to know if I'm capable of achieving everything I want, and I want to know how lucky I am, and the only way of knowing that depends on meeting or not Gael. Just kidding.

Well. I hope this is just one more of my crazy ideas.

Oh my God, I was kidding the whole time, but now I'm a little bit concerned. =S

P.S. If I do die, please don't remember me for this last lame post.
