There's been a lot of news in my world recently, and I guess i should update here. i don't think it's been noted on my blog before that sara broke up with steve like a month ago or so because of various reasons, the most pressing of which appears to have been a long-concealed discontent with the relationship. it was afterward revealed that steve had partaken in some indiscretions while he was in berklee, adding more fuel for dissatisfaction. i guess he ended up with the incorrect idea that she dumped him because of that, and he was wildly apologetic. anyway, post-dumping we were all finally free to reveal our true feelings, similarly concealed--though not very well--concerning young steven. although sara may find him attractive, i don't, and i would therefore be less inclined to put up with his boorish behavior. his monkeyish antics are amusing in small doses, but he is quick to offend those around him. and very foul-mouthed. i was personally amazed that sara was able to stand him for so long, but in the end it turned out a lot of her supposed rejoicing wasn't really rejoicing at all--how much? i have no idea. the depths remain unplumbed. anyway long story short, it was good riddance to steve, until recently, when it seems now that we are witnessing a possible return to that era. personally i don't think sara should make the same mistake twice--she is having trouble remembering her reasons for dumping him in the first place--but if she ends up going out with him again, there's nothing any of us can do about it. i haven't talked to greg about this yet. he knows that i dislike steve, so i wonder what he will think. there's also the issue of sara and pete, and how young steven will react to such news. tune in nest time for more soap opera updates.
now on to a different storyline. i'm worried about one of my friends. she recently underwent some changes that have made her more attractive to the members of the opposite sex....basically, the girl got hot. so ofcourse she's getting lots of attention. and she started sleeping with a guy three years older than us, who kind of doesn't treat her well since he doesn't want to go out with her and has stood her up a few times. but she really likes him, and likes having sex with him, although i recently found out she had sex with another coworker too! this girl only lost her virginity a month and a half ago! she's using protection, but she's not on the pill and this kid hasn't been tested for any nasty diseases. she told her someone related to her has contracted an STD, HPV, and she's worried about getting it fromher. i think she should be more worried about getting it from the guy she's sleeping with. i don't trust the entire idea. she's my friend, and i don't disapprove of what she's doing cause it's what she wants to do, but i worry about her and i want her to be safe.
let's see.....in meghan news, she may be soon getting a date for the semi,and possibly somethign more, but i can neither confirm nor deny any reports. heehee. i'm excited for her! speaking of which, guess who needs a dress? moi. oh and the sandy-jeff situaiton hangs in the balance! tonight may be the night sandy breaks it off, once and for-- wait, it's not going to be final, what am i saying? tonight may mark the beginning of another short, rocky separation culminating in a joyful reunion sometime within the month. ah, the allure of men who own goats.
the HILL boy-girl situation has not been resolved and will never be resolved! we are officially the class that didn;t make it. oh well. so we'll never all be best buddies? i can hang with almost everyone in that class and be perfectly comfortable, their seating preferences nonwithstanding. i see no reason to get depressed over personal choice.
I'm wondering what this respect me campaign is doing for the school. raising awareness? i don't think so, since everything discussed thus far has been touched upon more than once in the past. increasing respect? perhaps, but it would hard to find evidence of such an increase, and then connect it tangibly to this assortment of presentations and workshops. i like the thought behind the project, and i appreciate its goal, but change must come from within. you can't really force awareness on others, and if you can make themchange briefly in accordance with a school-sponsored program or event, you can't make that stick. any changes that occurred in the student body after last year-s investiture--and there were changes, from my point of view--came about because the people decided to change. it was not forced upon them. i know the respect me campaign is trying to encourage such an internal decision, but for some reason it seems incapable of finding the right wavelength along which to transmit the message. i dont doubt the world can be changed, but i believe it iwll be a grassroots change, not an organized, orderly, spear-headed reforrm movement. i will be the best agent of change, in the way i see fit, that i can be. a tshirt will not cause me to alter my thought, behavior or actions. only i can do that.
