07:16 pm - Did you know that I was listening? Well I'm sitting upstairs in our loft and my parents and family are right below me talking about me. They're discussing the fact that I'm a huge fuck up. Apparently I don't deserve to go to college and if I dont shape up- they're not going to send me anywhere. They're saying that I can get a job for a year and tough it out. see what it's really like out there. then maybe it will be worth their effort. right now I'm not. I'm a bitch and not that smart. "She doesn't know what she wants to do and she probably won't get in anywhere, anyways" thanks! this all started because i told my dad i didn't want to go to school in denver. so what does he do? he continues to shove it in my face. "why are you ruling things out tori?" "we're goign to look at it." sorry I'm getting upset! sorry i'm not worth your time! please kick me when i'm down. i'm just a fuck up right? you know if you say someones something enough- they'll start to believe it. well i believe you- can you stop now?

11:02 pm - Seniors: Respect you Elders! So today was my first day as a senior! it was good with the exception of the massive amounts of stress i'm under. honors econ is a Bitch with a capital B. My assignment for tonight- read chapter 1 and 2 (up until page 48) and be ready for a quiz tomorrow. Nice, right? That along with 65481663 other commitments this week is just bogging me down! Ah I'm so stressed! Senior year's supposed to be easy right? oh well... i'm a pessimist- but it's the first day of school, what did you expect?

11:26 pm i sound like an emo crazy person whenever i update- and i might be crazy but i am hardly emo. i just seems like my weird moods have become synamonous with a live journal mood. with that said...
the future has already been in the back of my mind but with college approaching and being forced to face choices head on i feel even more stressed 24-7. the truth of the matter is i'm scared of death. not that i won't get into a good college or that i'll fail my senoir year, but that i won't ever be content with where i am or what i have. all my life i've had asperations to have it all- the career, the family, the amazing experiences. part of that is just me being indecisive i realize but nonetheless it's always been looked at as "wow you're so goal oriented" but now i wonder. if i get that perfect career and live in the city (my dream)will i starve for a family in the suburbs? if i decide that i want the family life will i always wonder what i could have truly accomplished if i had gone for the career? i'm the steryotypical "what if" person. I play out situations in my head mapping out things would have gone if i'd done this differently. scary stuff. i wish someone would just tell me what to do and where to go to school. decisions suck. in the wise words of toys-r-us i don't want to grow up!

12:20 am - once in a while it's funny how quickly things can change- funny in that terrifying sort of way. last week i thought i knew who i was and who, quite frankly, always intended to be- or at least until college. somewhere in my head i got this notion- people may change, but me- i'll change at milestones. i was this person in gradeschool, and then my personality did a little bit of a switch in highschool, and then moving i changed a lot then too i suppose (yes i know i probably sound scitso) i had prepared myself to be this person for the remainder and just add to it, or change it, in college. i liked the fact that people could expect me to behave a certain way. if people thought they knew who i was, then i guess i knew who i was. but these past couple days i feel like i don't have control over anything. every decision i make, i'm torn. i find myself doing things so unlike me and it scares the living hell out of me. i like the consistency of my "milestone" way of thinking. I somehow seemed to give my life a schedule, which if you know me, i love. now it's a jumbled around and i can't decide whether to embrace it or run scared. it's late. i'm sober. time for bed.

11:34 pm - Insecurities Weigh Heavy Tonight This entry is deticated to the one and only Allison Downes, who claims she reads everyone of my livejournal entries.
It's funny how in one instant you can be flooded with so many emotions: Anger, happiness, dissappointment, relief. Tonight, at the end, was one of those nights. The night was neither fantastic nor horrible, yet it was very fun. I love hanging out with so many different groups and people yet at the same time I feel stretched so thin. I long for consistency but my life has never been like that. i don't know what I want... i just know I need some things to change. Current Mood: blank Current Music: Mary Jane

11:57 pm - streeesssssssssed out so I can't even believe I have the time to write this right now... because I really shouldn't be. So it's officially 11:58 and I got home about 15 minutes ago from work, which started at 3:30 fyi. Anywhoo, before I go to bed I have to write two papers and study for two tests. I have to go in tomorrow early to take a test and have a performance tomorrow night that I am so not ready for. I've had one of the worst weeks in my life. So to sum it up: Tori is in a bad mood from being tired and will probably remain that way until she gets more then two hours of sleep. Peace out. Hags

09:07 pm - Pressure It's scary being a junior and having only 1 1/2 more semesters of high school left. Recently I've really been feeling the pressure of college and my future. It's so weird looking at colleges and thinking about my career. I'm the type of person whois just like eh, we'll see what happens but i don't know. I feel like I'm being forced to choose where I want to go next year and who I want to be in 5 years, right now. I honestly no idea. I have ambitions, but they seem just that... too ambitious. I'm sure it will work itself out, but in the meantime I'm forced worrying and stressing over testing, grades, tuitions, scholorships...fun stuff.
Side note: I'M PISSED! THIS OC THING IS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL. I HATE KAITLIN! Current Mood: blah

12:31 am - New things I love meeting new people and trying new things! It keeps life intereseting. As much as I miss people back in Brookfield, I really enjoy the hustle and bustle of never doing the same thing twice. I've lived here over 7 months and I'm still meeitng people for the first time. I LOVE it!

06:31 am - Happy Faces Sorry about the lack of updates lately. Let me get you caught up before I rant... Christmas break was great! I went to WI and that was fabulous. I'm sorry if I didn't see/ didn't get to spend a ton of time with you! I had so much fun though!
I probably won't be able to visit again until summer.... which brings me to my ranting. It's so hard to watch people change, especially when it's for the worse. Going back I was shocked about how many people had a whole new set of priorities. I understand time can't freeze, change happens, yeah I get it but does that mean that people have to become someone you don't recognize? I was shocked how when I came to visit, that the people that I couldn't wait to see and speak to most often were like blah hey okay well I have to go hang out with more important people. Sweet, see you in six months? It was just dissapointing in that aspect. Oh well
it's 6:37 and I must get ready for school so I'll post about tonight and junk later, soon later
I miss and love you ali my dear! Current Mood: yawny Current Music: alarm clock

11:29 pm - Birthday AH, today was such a fun day! My dad woke me up at like 7:30/8 to take the car to get fixed and then I went back to bed. I was woken up by a bunch of girls and they made me put on ridiculous clothes and go to breakfast that way.
Then a few of us went to this random ass statue that we named Daddy Phelps. You don't even understand how random this statue is. It's this HUGE man leaning back and his upper body is sticking out of the rocks along with his feet and the rest is supposed to look like it's burried or something, I don't know. but it's behind all these neighborhoods on a tiny street. So we took 23423 pictures on this giant statue and decided to go vintage shopping in Westport. Fun fun
Let's see, then I went home and rested then did cake and presents.
Tonight was a little of a bust. We went to 2 parties but left b/c I really don't know why, just had a bad feeling and it turns out both times the cops came about 5 minutes later to break it up. Lucky.
that about sums it up. Have a lot to do before friday. I say bah humbug to people think bdays are just a day and not a big deal. BAH HUMBUG Current Mood: energetic

12:56 am - Merry Belated Christmas Well all in all Christmas was very enjoyable. It was Grayson's bday as well so she was even more the center of attention then normal. Thought I'd give you the highlights of the Smith Family Christmas this year...
1. During church Christmas eve, while everyone was singing, my 4-year old brother Carter just sang high pitch noises
2. Carter seeing what Santa brought him, then DIVING under the tree to grab the "big box" and ripping it open all in about .3423 seconds
3. Grayson having about 2142 mood swings and getting away with it because it was her birthday
4. Yeah, too lazy to continue...but you get the idea
IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW!!!!!!!1 Current Mood: mellow Current Music: Johnny Cash: Ring of Fire

01:47 am - almost done Ah, tonight was so much fun. Jill and I met up with these St. Theresa girls (all girl schoool) and we all went ice-skating. I was soooo bad. Actually, I take that back, I was really good up until the stopping part. Then I just ran into the wall or fell. My bum hurts so bad right now. Let's see.. so then we went to this sketch part of Kansas City like half hour away and had food at this little Mexican restaurant... so good! We've decided that from now on we're going to go to a sketch, ethnic restaurant each week. Next week is Greek. After dinner we went to this kid's house and just hung out. Such a random/ awesome night.
I have been making Christmas presents for the past two nights and I am so close to being done. I'm so impressed with myself. I took those multi glass picture frames that are 3D-ish and put pictures on the sides and glitterfied them and along the border of the glass I put quotes about friendship. It's fabulous! I only had enough energy to make 5 though. Oh well.
I officially visit in less than a week (wow it's already too)
I have to wrap 234723 presents now. Muah Current Mood: sore Current Music: RENT (still)
