final cut. spilt milk.


final cut.
Tomorrow's the last day of the film course and we're having a private screening of our film. We wrote and edited the script on Monday, on Tuesday we caught the train and shot some country scenes, Wednesday we filmed in the office and around town and today we edited. It'll be interesting to see all our work coming together, though I'm cringing about seeing myself onscreen and hearing my crappy recorded voice. I'd tried to avoid this by volunteering as a statue, I wore David's grey hoodie and washed out jeans while the girls covered me in leaves and wove flowers and sticks into my hair. After that I enjoyed fooling around with the other minor characters. A girl in my year, Bethany and I have gotten quite close. We have quite a bit in common and she taught me how to put on eyeliner (I look like a girl now) so she's definitely in my good books. Some her subject choices are similar to mine so with any luck next year we'll be in one of the same classes.

spilt milk.
Ashley finally let the cat out of the bag. It didn't end well. Eve has always been awkward about feelings, I don't think she's ever had a boyfriend or kissed anyone, which surprises me because she's got such good looks and a great personality. Ashley took it pretty hard but now they're back on normal terms, according to him anyway. But I have this feeling things aren't as good as he says they are. Right now he has no self-confidence, he keeps putting himself down. Before when he was seeing his ex, he was so funny and his smile was gorgeous. I want to make him smile like that. Hopefully he bounces back soon enough, I can't stick him like this much longer it makes me so sad to see him this way. Because there's no use crying over spilt milk.

secrets


Want to know a secret?

You are beautiful.

Black, white, gay, straight, bisexual. Whether you are smart or quiet or impossibly in love with your best friend, someone out there cherishes your smile and gets butterflies when you walk into a room.

Someone out there can't stop thinking about you. You Are Beautiful. Don't ever believe differently.

I sent this to Ashley, he was so depressed today. His self esteem seems to be rock bottom so hopefully that lifted his spirit a little. The thought that if even for a second he forgot Eve and remembered me makes me happy. I wonder if he ever does.

him & her

him.
I'm currently in a film course, and Ashely's mate David happens to be there. He's worried about him, he has no idea about the whole Eve situation, or any of the things I know that I can't ever repeat. He was in my group today so we talked a lot, we're quite good friends now. I really like him, not in that way. But I think he might. I hope not. Also, I got my braces tightened today (they're now purple hehe) and who happens to me my orthodontist? Ashley's aunt. I am seeing things to do with that boy everywhere.

her.
Ashley trusts me so much now, I know things no-one else does. But I'm really nothing more than a friend. There are times when I think 'maybe I have a shot' but then she signs on and he becomes distant, only ever paying attention if we're talking about Eve. Eve this and Eve that. Eve's so smart and funny and pretty and kind. God forbid Eve's in a bad mood or Eve feels useless. It's always about her. What about me once in a while? There is rarely another topic than 'what does Eve mean by this'. I feel helpless just sitting waiting for a machine to tell me he's steered himself away from her to notice to me? But I can't stop. I have to answer him, I just have to. Eve's old role as 'female advisor' now falls to me. It's my job to solve his problems, even though I have no idea about my own. But I got myself into this, and if it means he's happy in the long run maybe it's worth it. I'm just going to have to get used to being second to her, then things will get easier.

action. nothing. ice.

action.
I've gotten closer to Ashley lately, for the wrong reasons. I know it's wrong, but it's nearly comforting to think someone else is hurting in the same way I am. When he talks about his feelings for her I think exactly the same for me. Eve and him are so close, they end every conversation with 'love you sis' 'you too bro' which is sad for him that she only see's him that way. But Ashley and I have a 'PLAN OF ACTION' (so big it deserves capital letters) to see if Eve likes him too, because she likes someone, but she won't say who. I don't know if I want her to like him back, if she does Ashley will smile again but chances are they'll go out and that's going to hurt me and Ashley and I won't have an excuse to talk anymore. But if she doesn't return his feelings he'll stay miserable then we will still talk. Either way someone's going to get hurt, for his sake I hope it's me. I don't see Eve as an enemy or anything like that, she's in my group. She is one lucky girl and she can't help him falling for her, so I'm not wasting any energy hating her.

nothing.
In just under two weeks I will be turning fifteen. I'm not expecting much, how can I when last year everyone forgot? I'd put a circle of stars around it on the calender, somehow hoping she'd see it last week. Seven days went by and nothing happened. If I wanted anything I would have to really push it. So today I made a pot of her favorite herbal tea with a plate of biscuits, put it on a tray and brought it up to her room. Hesitating for a second, I knocked on the door. Inside the curtains were closed and it took a moment for my eyes to adjust to the gloom. She sat up and grunted as I handed her a cup. I nibbled the corner of a digestive as she sipped, struggling to keep eye contact. We started talking and for a few minutes we could have been any mother and daughter you see happily shopping together or the ones you see on tv.
'So what's new with you?' she eventually asked.
'Umm...' This was my chance, if I didn't say it now there's no saying I ever would:
'Well my birthday is in two weeks and I was wondering if I could invite some people over and...'
'No.'
'Why not?'
'Just.'
'Not even...'
'Nothing. No presents or party.'
'But...'
'Go.'
I held back my tears as I left. All these years I thought she'd simply been distracted or forgotten but she genuinely just doesn't want me having a proper birthday. I remember running around with lame party hats on and playing pass the parcel as a kid, but any sort of birthday ground to a halt when I was about ten. I just want one person to come up and happily acknowledge the fact that I'm having a birthday soon. It's not everyday you turn fifteen after all.

ice.
I want to start skating again, I miss the ice. I know I don't have the money, the guts and as soon as school starts I won't have the time. But I still want to. I'm going to get down to the rink and just skate as soon as I can.

luca. not me.

luca.
IHATEYOUIHATEYOUIHATEYOU. How could you do this to me? Do you have any idea of the damage and pain you have caused me? You strung me along then broke me, making me feel it was all my fault. I can't believe how much I liked you. You've ruined everything, don't ever speak to me ever again. It's over.

not me.
Ashley and I were getting along great, talking at least everyday about music and movies and a load of other stuff until today, he saw my twitter updates about Luca and asked if I was ok and we started talking about all that 'deep' stuff, it reminded me of how Luca and I used to be. You know, except Ashley isn't a lying manipulative dickhead. And he listened to it all. I felt so much better after I'd let it all out, then a bit guilty that I'd taken up the entire conversation I asked him how he was and he said good and bad at the same time. He said he liked someone but had no idea if they liked them back. Eventually he told me. It's not me. It's another girl in my group; Eve. They're like the not messed up Luca and I if you get me. God it sickens me how I see Luca everywhere now. Anyway, she's the person he tells everything to. But he couldn't tell her, so he confided in me, like I confide in this blog sort-of. He gave me his number, something I'd been wanting for ages, but not like this. All our texts are about Eve, I want to help him because I know how he feels and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. But here I am with that feeling.

is it a bird? is it a plane? nope, it's a dickhead.

Hello bloggers. Today is a little different from normal posting as it's a facebook thread. I may not have mentioned Daniel or Luca or any of that for a long time*cough* poll but it's still going on. Daniel really needs to get a life, below is happening nearly daily now. Oh well, at least it gives me a chance to practice my sarcasm, right? Oh. I wouldn't recommend reading this if you're under thirteen or if you get offended easily. Enjoy...


Annie like this and I'll post my favorite memory of you to your wall :).

1. luca never liked you
2.that night at the sleepover, we werent drunk (well sortve, 2 cans of bud doesnt get you drunk), we thought it would be funny to try and convince you that he liked you, he didnt like you but he would have went out with you if you asked.
3.you are the most melodramatic person i have never met,
you make a mountain out of a molehill.
so ermmm, fuck you and have a nice day :)

Me there it goes, my whole life tossed away from me just like that. let's see daniel...
1. don't give a shit anymore
2. do you have no life?
3. tbh the melodramatic one is you, you're the one making a making a mountain out of a molehill when you could have let sleeping dogs lie

oh and bringing all that crap up just shows what you have to resort to to try and win the argument. and the 'fuck you and have a nice day' you've been doing that as long as I've known you, maybe it's time to join the rest of the world in the 'maturity' craze? :)
