Shoot Down The Stars/ Shoot Me Down
So, how did the photo shoot go? Well, it was tons of fun. Tons of fun because of tons of worries and lots of effort. My photographer was awesome, and she was preggers. She took some really good shots of me, and she spoke to me a lot.
Looking at them, I feel like every picture I ever took of myself, either in my room or the bathroom mirror (because I loved the lighting), or on my infamous basement wall, lead up to it. It was kind of odd because I’ve taken so many and I know my angles so well, and she didn’t but she caught them sometimes and missed them sometimes. It almost makes me feel like I wish I could have taken more after seeing them because I know how to fix whatever I didn’t like.
I still like them a lot though. I’m proud of them. I’d like to know what my friends thought, but there’s so many things that goes with that statement.
Friends, and what they think.
Some friends you can’t ask because you don’t want to make them feel bad because you got to do something, and stuff like that. It’s stupid, but you have to be careful of other people’s feelings. Not being a show off and stuff, even if you don’t mean it.
Some friends you can’t ask because you just feel sort of self-conscious with them, even if they are your friends.
Some friends you can ask anything to
And some friends you really want to know what they think, because just like you, they work hard at something and wouldn’t mind because they might ask you for an opnion one day.
And some friends you feel the need to ask what they think because you’ve discussed that thing with them, you’ve told them your dreams, and your dreams are type similar.
Well, Courtney was one of those people, and he was one of the only people online who’s opinion I care about. So what did I do? I IMed him on my new screen name that he didn’t have. As soon as I did it, I regretted it and I didn’t send him the pics. I tried to play with him, but he wasn’t even going for it. it felt good/weird/odd to get an answer from him, but I still wish I could hear what he’d have to say. My pride won’t let me hit him up again, so I won’t do that. I can’t tell you how annoying it is, though.
I don’t know what to think about Akeem. Nothing’s happening with him, not talking to him, and I don’t want to waste my time. I could easily meet up with Victoria’s friend, but I’m trying to give Akeem a chance first. I just wish I knew if anything was happening with him so I could actually do something, let something happen.
- My mom’s treating me like more than a girl, less than a person. I have so much on me, so much to work on, and she’s talking to me about needing rest. She’s not even suggesting it, she’s trying to be assertive and like order it, but she doesn’t understand that I CAN’T work that way. I’m like tearing up thinking about it.
I’m so many THINGS:
- singer
- actress
- model (all aspiring)
- basketball player
- student, during and after school
- member of a buncha clubs
And she forgets that I’m a PERSON:
- ordinary sensitive teenage girl
- really caring (or at least I try to be… :( ) friend
- Best friend
- lonely-ass single chick
But how would she know any of that?
She wants me to stop talking to my friends on aim so much. MAYBE THEY ARE THE ONLY FUCKING THINGS KEEPING ME SANE! Maybe God gave me technology so that I could talk to the awesome friends that he gave me while I do my work. So that I don’t always feel like a THING!
She doesn’t understand me, and she’s so head-on about what she thinks that she won’t try and thinks that I’m just some whiney disagreeing teenage daughter.
Wow, I just figured out why Courtney ever meant so much to me.
I need to be understood. All this work, all this judgement, artistic freedom, he’s the only other one that I know who could convince me that he understands. HE COULD UNDERSTAND!
BUT FUCK HIM. Because he didn’t give a shit. HE DIDN’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ME. He just understood me because he could. fuck him…fuck him….
no. fuck me. i’m fucking pathetic.
I’m probably just PMSing, but you know what? As shitty as I feel, this is the only time I make sense. This is the only time I could make sense of my feelings for Courtney, because why should I have feelings for someone that treats me like shit?
Because I need to be understood, and even though he was an asshole who never did anything for me, he understood.
You hear that, Courtney?
Dear Courtney,
Haven’t spoken to you in a while. And I’m SURE that you don’t care, but I just wanted to get this out. You treated me like shit, which is what makes me label you an ass. I also wanted to tell you that I will be successful without you. If you weren’t so much of a coward to block me on aim, you’d have been the first person to see the pictures that I worked so damn hard to take for my fucking portfolio. You’d have been the one who helped me mentally prepare to take them. You’d have been the one to calm me down. But you weren’t, even though I was coincedentally the one
WHO
TOOK
FUCKING
PICTURES OF YOU
AND EDITED THEM FOR YOU
FOR YOUR FUCKING PORTFOLIO-ISH THING.
So fuck you. You. hurt. me.
I hope we both make it. I hope you see me on your T.V. screen. I hope you hear my song. I hope you see me in a magazine. So that when the day finally comes, I can ask you for YOUR name. I can tell you I don’t remember you. I can tell you that I have to go, and walk away, and never turn back. I hope you really, really like that. And no matter how much I want to do that, I wouldn’t. I’d at LEAST turn back and wave, because in my head, I’d be saying, “What if he dies tomorrow?”, because that’s how I am. I’d give you a hug. And then I’d walk away because even though you understood, you were never man enough for me. You take your dick and stick it into some senior chick who looks JUST LIKE ME or Selena Gomez because I want you to be happy. I think I may just want to know that you are happy, and then I’ll get over you. I have no idea, really. But I know that I want to be happy, with or without you. It’s just hard to do that right now because there isn’t anyone who wants to take the place you left with the bullet your microphone left in my heart.
like,
Gabby
Haven’t I told you?
I’m a star?
