Perfect?

Merriam-Webster defines perfect as, "being entirely without fault or defect. flawless. satisfying all requirements. corresponding to an ideal standard or abstract concept. lacking no essential detail"

In my world, nothing is perfect and I like it that way, but sometimes I see things or people and I call them perfect, ironically.

In one instance where I apply the term perfect would be relationships. People who are in love. For example, Katie's perfect man is Carter. I think they will have a long and happy relationship. Amy and Blake are married and they are perfect for each other, the same goes for Brock and Auny.

In the application of the word perfect, love is perfect.

My question is, how do you pick someone? How do you know who is perfect?

Does perfect have a list of characteristics to compare against?
Does perfect have the same beliefs and ideoligies as you?
Does perfect have to be a man/woman with the same skin color?

Too many people in this world are too busy trying to find that PERFECT man or woman wo is exactly everything they could ever want and for too many people that includes having the same skin color. Yes, many people do fall in love with someone of their own race. Some people don't.

I've said many times before that you can't choose who you fall in love with. If you put measures on who you want to be with, you will never find someone to perfectly fit them. Sure, it can be a very fine line but you will never find an exact match. People are too particular.

I have a good friend who likes a guy. The guy is black and the girl is white. Her family wouldn't agree with the relationship if they knew about it. At all! They totally disagree with interracial relationships.

I don't understand. If their daughter would be happy why couldn't they accept it. The guy is a very nice guy. Its not like he's the town drug-dealer or anything. Then I could understand why they would be mad about it. She hasn't told them yet. She's not even sure it will turn into anything...

I personally have never really been interested in a guy of another race except Mexican, but that is beside the point. Why can't people just look at others like they are just people. People are just people. They all have feelings, they all have problems, they all experience love! Why can't we all just be happy and share those moments together.

As far as my friend, I think I'm going to just go with the flow and see what happens. I am buckled up and riding the bus to find out where I will go in my life. This may be a pit stop along the way or it may not. All I can do is hold on and find out. If you don't support me, I really don't care. If you care about me whatsoever, you will agree with Katie and support me. Ultimately it is my decision...

I kinda feel like I'm trying to make myself believe it would be ok. I'm done now. I know it is. I am fully prepared to defend myself if the need arises.

Tonight's the night the world begins again.

I absolutely love the Goo Goo Dolls.

As most of you know, my music has a way of preaching to me in times of need. LOL. Katie, like you said, we are so much alike its scary. We can't help each other because we can't help ourselves. LOL. :D

Anyway, like I was saying. The Goo Goo Dolls just told me "tonight's the night the world begins again." Yes I know, you are all saying, "but Britany, the world never ended."

I will have to argue, your's may not have, but mine did.

Someone just told me they have something very important to tell me later. They were in a good mood, so that is a good thing.

Look out for more information to come about this. My world may begin again, we'll find out. :D

Finally home!

Camping at the Okefenokee Wildlife Refuge was...
it was rainy!
there were mosquitos the size of birds!!
there were horseflies and yellowflies the size of bumble bees!
there were alligators, big big alligators.

But Sunday it was finally SUNNY!!! So me and my dad and brother went out in the swap in a boat. It was fun. There were alligators everywhere. I did have fun then.

On the other hand my little Australian friends were not so cool while I was gone.
I come back to read more threatening blogs to and from each other. These kids are like 13-14 and they are talking about self-mutilation and crazy stuff!

What do they watch as children? Some strange version of Sesame Street that teaches them the way of self-mutilation for the day instead of a letter of the alphabet?!
There's a show on tv called The Secret Life of the American Teenager. It accurately captures the tendency of teenage girls to be pregnant in high school. It also accuratly shows a few scenes of drug and alcohol abuse...

Why can't my Australian buddies just have those problems instead of the ones they have now? It would be the better of two evils...

I hope they take advice from me and Katie and find some other way to fix their problems. I really worry about them!!!

About 3 hours

left of school this year! Only two blocks tomorrow and school will officially be out for summer break.

About 35 hours left until I am officially a senior...

I will not cry! I WILL NOT CRY!!!
Tomorrow will be a great day and I will not cry. I am going to miss everybody this summer. All of my friends, I will probably see Katie a lot though, so that cheers me up :)

I am going to miss all of my friends who are graduating Saturday. Today was their last day at school! I almost cried when I told Shelby goodbye today. I am going to miss her. She made the worst class in the whole entire school awesomely fun! I have enjoyed picking on her blonde moments and hearing about her crazy boy stories.

I am going to miss Lindy too. She was like my watcher. She always made sure I was ok and I understood math. She left me her parking spot in the senior will and testament. I will think of her every single day as I park in a different spot in the parking lot. LOL!

Those of you who know Lindy understand.

Only about 35 hours, and I WILL NOT CRY!!!

Is this really about to happen?

Senior year? It's coming...

It's coming and there's nothing I can do about it. As of Saturday morning I will officially be a senior!

It just dawned on me...

WOW!

When I was younger I never thought this day would come because it felt like it was taking soo long to get here.

Surprise! IT SNUCK UP ON ME! I wish I could have three years back but have the lessons I've learned from life. I would do things different. Just one more chance knowing what I know now and my whole high school career could have been better. It was pretty good so far, but not what I dreamed it would be. There were too many breakdowns and realizations that I didn't want to come to.

One more year, I'm gonna make the best of it!

Que sera, sera. :)
