Age: 17 years 5 months 22 days

I just watched the State of the Union Address with I think they said 6 million other people. I’m proud that I actually watched it. It was kind of interesting. In fact, I’m going to listen to the Democratic response now…

I tried watching the State of the Union Address when Clinton gave it, but it was too boring for me to focus. I just didn’t care. I know that’s not good, I guess I care more now. I think I can vote this year. I should really pay attention to the presidential campaign.

What Bush said sounded good but listening to responses I don’t know what he exaggerated on and what just doesn’t make sense. I’m sure the Democrats are exaggerating on what they can do also. They think that they can do everything better. It’s not that easy. But I don’t know who I like better. Bush does have some good ideas though. I don’t hate him.

 I can’t believe that it’s been over two years since September 11th. We still live in such fear of terrorists. It’s kind of funny how concerned and worried America is about our safety. I guess there is reason for concern, but our lives have been manipulated by this terror.

I was just thinking of how I like to think I don’t live in time just because I never know what day it is and can never remember specifically when events happened. I guess that writing in this diary helps me enter into time and remind me what I was doing these days.

I like that writing a journal is my homework. Creative writing is such a great class.

Misuse

An Individual

so outspoken

lectures on the

greatest musicians, 

marvels at

fine art, gawks, 

over nature,

argues philosophical

points, questions

reality, loses

religion, yet finds

herself struggling

to find herself.

she looses (lost) herself

in hatred, conformity, apathy,

all she despises

she finds acceptance. Reality

is not as it

seems. Who knows

what’s going on 

inside the head?
