1. BSBFREAK
harmless. every nineties girl had a favorite boyband. i loved AJ
2. SugarRayGirl1227
this one didn't last long.
3. punkme239
oh, ashton. both my biggest obsession and the one i am most ashamed of. i think he's a great individual (from what i've read) but the only thing i got out of it in the long run was a few friends who live in different continents that i have limited contact with and have never met
4. SuFiRachel
reference to Dane Cook's signature. then i overplayed his cd's and realized Zach Galifianakis is 100 billion times funnier
5. oblivious blues
finally a screen name that stands alone while remaining an ode, as well. since i'm still living in this phase, i cannot say what i'll feel about it in the future, but i can say that this is the first time one of my artistic interests has led me to new faces and places - ones that i cannot see myself without in the future. and i mean this in a much much more sincere way than i ever felt back in numbers 1 through 4.
maybe it's just because i'm growing up or maybe i've finally found something real.
but if and when this phase ends, the memories will live on through the friendships made. this is one - for lack of a better word - obsession that i will never be ashamed of. it has been too important of a factor in my life to ever be seen as embarrassing or wasteful.
on that note, i've made a (belated) new years resolution: to always focus on my immediate life - schoolwork, friends, family - first and don't take situations that i cannot help or control to heart. that doesn't mean i have to stop caring, just shift my center a little.

I can imagine that from your perspective, it must seem like some truly awful things happen in time and space. So if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to weigh in.

Rachel, you live in a world of illusions. A world that springs from a much deeper and far greater reality. And while at times the illusions are indeed ugly, with your physical senses you only see the tip of the iceberg. If you could see the whole, you'd discover that the unpleasantness was only the tiniest piece of a most spectacular puzzle that was created with order, intelligence, and absolute love. You'd see that contrary to appearances, in the grandest scheme of things, nothing is ever lost, no one becomes less, and setbacks are always temporary. And you'd understand that no matter what has happened, everyone lives again, everyone laughs again, and everyone loves again, even more richly than before.

I've always wanted to do this. I'll make it one of my New Years resolutions. especially w/ photobooth. makes it too easy
It was late. The trail was growing cold, and someone down the alley was whistling "My Way," when suddenly, I just knew...
