I've traded in the rags for the crown
You have to see that you can't hold me down anymore
I'm breaking free, away, finally
I have a whole new game in front of me
This time will be different from the last
Screwing up isn't an option anymore
I'm breaking my chains, setting myself free
Getting away, finally.

(me)

Blah. It's been a rough week, I swear...thank God it's almost over. Geez. I hope all is well with whomever is reading this, if anyone... I haven't really told many people about this and I think I'm going to keep it that way. It's easier to be honest without worrying who's going to come across this and read it. But then again, I wouldn't mind a few people knowing what I think of them and such...annnyway...

I realized I'd been kinda depressed after I left my retreat(s). The real world (at least, mine) is difficult to get back to.

I'm going to visit Vanderbilt in two weeks... that should be fun... I love going places without my mom...means more freedom :) They accepted me a month early and are flying me over there for a recruiting weekend (gag) but oh well... I still want to go to Notre Dame but I figure I need to make an informed decision.

The topic has come up about me supposedly following one of my friends to college. That couldn't be farther from the truth. I'm one of those people who believe in being on your own and free... granted, if I go to ND I will a few people there that I've known for a while, but I won't be hanging all over them... I am one who values space and distance... in fact, though this sounds nuts, I would actually prefer a long-distance sort of thing at this point in my life (as in, *right* now) because I don't have time to be calling and checking up and making sure that no one felt excluded or ignored or whatnot... the time just ISN'T there. Ooh well... hopefully college will bring more time for the social life I've missed lately.

I have weird powers over people.... I'm not sure if it's a good thing...hmmm... it's funny that what goes around comes around (I'm experiencing that right now but I'm on the good, receiving end...hehe)

Enough already. Later.

Agh! My confirmation retreat was so wonderful. I had such a great time meeting with a bunch of new people and relating to them. I felt kind of the way I felt when I went to visit ND... hanging out with all sorts of different people, much different than my usual friends... I don't know... everything was so awesome.

Guys are actually interested in me. Wow. New concept.

I get the feeling sometimes that I am not relating to certain friends of mine the way that I should; furthermore, I'm not sure if I really even feel bad about it anymore... that sounds so awful but it's true. I don't know.
Six months from yesterday = Angelica will have moved into her dorm at ND (if I choose ND, of course *wink*).

Later.

Well, for a few introductions first. I'm Angelica, I'm eighteen, and I'm a senior at an allgirls' high school. (Should be interesting, right? *wink*) Later on I'll think about posting pictures and the like, once I get some more current ones...we'll see.

I have been at Opendiary for almost two years now, but for some reason they've gone nuts over there and started adding ads to every single page and really pushing for people to go and join their subscription site. Personally I don't care much for their style anymore and I don't know, I've started to feel as if I've neglected it. Perhaps it's life. Perhaps I'm just rather bored with the whole OD thing. Who knows...

Kali kinda got me started on this. I had a blog for a while on my website (that is, the website I had before I went and deleted the whole damn thing because I thought it was hideous). Yet I never thought that maybe I could use the blog thing for just a journal. So she opened my eyes and here I am. I must link her :)
I'm sick right now. Yay. I have some sort of cold-ish thing that I got from being drenched in the rain a few days ago and then stupidly going out and sitting on a dock beside a lake at midnight with damp hair...tsk tsk tsk. Oh well. And now I have to go to my confirmation retreat, only two days after my senior retreat... I hope I don't get any sicker. Sigh. I better make it through this weekend.

Well, that's for starters. I promise, this will probably be the most boring post on this thing. I don't like writing boring stuff but it happens, you know... anyway. Talk to y'all later. :)
