disregard this...just gibberish lol.
I frantically searched for her amongst the traffic of people boarding the last train to Shanghai. Time was running out and I was running out of options. The one girl who could truly make me happy was about to disappear for good and I was about to lose her. Yelling out her name was no use; there could be a million people here who had the same name as her. I didn’t even know what she was...

I just finished watching ‘Prayers for Bobby” because I had to watch it for my gender and sexuality class and I can honestly say that this movie was very sad. This film was based on a true story and speaks volumes for the homosexual community. I felt very sympathetic towards Bobby and what happened to him.

Ever since I came to school this morning, I’ve been hooked on this book that I’ve been reading. What I really should have been doing is studying for my exam that I have for my twelve o’clock class. I can’t help it, once I start reading it’s like I can never stop. Oh well, I’ll just cram as much as I can thirty minutes or so before class and hope for the best.
I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect....
