Am I Dreaming While I'm Awake?
I'm a day dreamer. Always have been, always will be. I dream about what's going to happen 5 minutes from now, tomorrow, or ten years from now. Usualy I distort things, but that's the beauty of imagination and dreams.
This is where you'll find my thoughts. My quotes, some ramblings, things I'm grateful for, rants, night dreams and day dreams.

I wrote a letter to myself the other day
Asked myself the questions to anyone else, I couldn't say
And whispered between the lines my inner secrets
I wrote a letter three pages long
About my life and how it's turning out wrong
But never meant to say all that was written in my head

I wrote a letter the other day to me
And addressed it, Dear self, I'm in agony
Please help me if you can

A trip down memory lane took place
And I knew as I wrote, tears streamed down my face
As result my hand started to shake

The pen wasn't fast enough
For my thoughts, a draft that was still rough
So I had to just write as they came

I wrote myself a letter the other day
Wrote 'till my hand was as coarse as hard clay
I enclosed it in an envelope
Faster than you can blink
For the letter must be done I knew,
when I ran out of ink.

These are my journal entries. I just ramble to get the thoughts out of my head, good or bad. It makes me feel better. To tell you the truth, I'm not exactly sure why I'm including these personal thoughts on here, but I am. I don't even know if people really read these things, (other people's thoughts) Well besides me. I like doing it. I learn more that way by reading about other people and comparig their experiences to mine. Here I go again. There's no stopping me when I get going. Maybe read a bit, take a break, and come back later. I know there's only so much Kristen you can take. ;).

As of April 3, 2001. No more new journal entries here. You can find my thoughts on my weblog. Kristen Joy's Mind Expansion I'll see you there. Laters.

Hello. I went shopping downtown this weekend and went into this shop. It was awesome. There were faeries and fountains and scented candles and it smelled so good. :) I found these beautiful silk scarves with moons and stars printed on them and I wanted one so bad. It would have looked so good in my room. But they were $12. And besides the fact I was 2 bucks short I was at the library previous to that and they had a caring tree up. The sign said to take a tag (with a child's age, sex and name) and buy an appropriate book for them for the holidays, bring the books wrapped back and place them under the tree so the salvation army could go and pick them up and deliver them to the kids. I thought this would be a good thing to do and it would get me into the real spirt of the holidays, so I took a tag. I went to the book store next and had so much fun picking this book out. It was for an 8 year old girl named Susan. And I got her two books that I loved reading when I was her age. I just hope she likes them. I still have to go back and drop them off. Well, I suppose I better go wrap those up.

Where am I going with this? I'm asking all you people who don't come to my site and why would you? There isn't anything here. I often want to puke just looking at it. I haven't updated this thing in over 2 weeks. It's sitting collecting dust. Or it would be if it wasn't on the internet. I thought this was going to be the first website I wasn't going to work on and then abandon. I really wanted this to be something but it turns out it really is kind of sucky. I mean who wants to go back to their childhoods? For more than a couple of minutes? Lets face it, people are way too busy these days. As am I. But I could make time. This isn't what I want it to be, lets just say. I keep getting new interests and want to put those on a site and take what I fancied before off, because I have no intrest in updating those kinds of things. Is there a happy medium? I don't know. Right now I want to do tribute pages. It's kind of what I'm doing now but.. not really. I want to have one for

Edward Gorey
Jim Henson
Robin Williams

And movie pages. I already have Dead Poets Society. Hmmm. What else? I dunno. A Muppets page? I'm going to have to take the Care Bears off because I have no intention of ever updating that page. Sorry. And AlF? I want that one to stay, but I'm not sure I can make it worth while. Fraggle Rock I'll keep. Who knows, maybe I'll just start a whole new site for another venue. This is too rainbowish and girly. I need a happy medium, yep that again. Well, I've had enough. Have you?
Tootle loo.

It’s 8:00 and I’m the only one up. It’s wonderful. The whole downstairs to myself. No interuptions at least for now anyway. I still have my cold but I’m comforted by the heater and my warm fleece bathrobe. The only thing missing is cinemon rolls baking in the oven. Well, nothing is that perfect. My life isn’t perfect. That’s why I’m typing this letter. Mom has been really annoying. She’s treating everyone shitty. That doesn’t help the fact I’m going through a crisis. I don’t know if I should leave my school. I mean sure I’d rather stick my head in my toleit all day than go, but is three years that long? YES! It is. I want to go somewhere else. Private, public, I don’t know. I just really hate my school. Yes, I know everyone says that, but this place is really hell.

Hello again.
I always want to hurry. I get one thing done and then another, like I can’t spend any amount of tim on anything without thinking about all the other things that need to be done. I know where i get this from. My mother. She’s the exact same way. And she’s always on my case about what I’m going to do this afternoon or tomorw. Are you done with your homework Kristen? Mom, I’ll get it done. Don’t worry. There is some laundry to do this afternoon. And don't forget the dishes. Just try to help around the house. Don’t spend so much time on the internet. I know you like working on your website but there is an outside world you know.

I’m used to her saying things like this and I’m afraid if I do sit still for a while and not worry about things they’ll never get done. I guess that’s why I won’t break out of the habbit. I want to be easy going and not worry so much. It would also help if my parents weren’t always on my case. It’s hard to find that balence. Part of me really wants to grow up, go to college and have a new expereince. I really want to get out of high school. I hate it!

But I’m not sure if I can handle all the responsibilites. Oh you’ll do fine. everyone says. We’ll see I say. I’m anxious now a days too. I can’t seem to sit still. I like to be moving Am I turning into Felicia? I hope not. Anyway, My fingers like to type. A lot. La. la la.

Oh, I came up with a cute birthday gift for my mom. I saw it on HGTV this morning. I love that channel. I like decorating. Okay. They were making these floral balls. They took foam balls and stuck little fake or dried flowers in them. That will be inexpensive and so cute. I hope my mom will like them. She needs something to decorate her bedroom with. I’ll make 3 or 4 and I’ll put them in tissue paper in a box. Very cool. Next topic. I dont’ know. I have to take a shower. Yes, I know moving on and hurrying. Well, maybe that habbit can’t be broken today. Probably will never be broken. Bye.


RANTS

I can't stand it when teachers give you a ten inch space to write like a stinking essay in!

When I'm tired, I want to sleep but usualy end up doing homework all night. You may say, "Hey, that's the way it is, deal with it!" I say, "I hate being tired and doing homework, but I hate people who say things like you just did even more!" AHHHHH!


THE SIMPLE GOOD THINGS IN LIFE

~Listening to my cat purr
~putting my hands around a warm cup of hot chocolate in winter
~having a really good dream
~sleeping in on weekends
~seeing the light reflect off the trees and getting that internal feeling of peace
~Eating a really good piece of pizza
~Recieving a compliment from someone I wouldn't ever suspect it from
~Recieving a compliment from anyone!
~wandering away for a walk without knowing where I'm going
~The leaves in autumn
~Talking to a friend I haven't talked to forever
~Sunshine hitting my head and making my hair warm.
