Honest to God, Lennie an’ me ain’t never gonna be able to settle down if he don’t learn to keep his god damn paws off other people’s stuff. They don’t git Lennie’s jes a big lug with a big heart. Everybody else jes cares bout themselves and their own needs. Sometimes I wonder what that’d be like … I jes gotta keep Lenny outta Curley’s sight. That little punk’s got it out for Lennie.

Look here, George. You’re a nice fella, but you know what you gotta do. Lennie’s jes like a kid and don’t fit into this man’s world. You’ve spent your life lookin’ out fer him, but you’re always gonna be runnin’ to keep one step ahead of trouble. I can tell you from experience that this here ranch is a place where you can make a good name for yourself, make good money, and let loose in town on a Saturday night without any worries. You ain’t gettin’ any younger, George.

This is my 1st week in the hospital and I'm still in alot of pain. I wish I didn't get sick on the roadtrip. I bet everyone in my family wishes we were still on the road, even though they won't admit it. After the first time i had surgrey, we all thought it would work. I seriously can't believe I had to get the same surgrey again.
ReplyDeleteI am really sorry just hang in there this has never happens to me before so I really don't know what to say. I wish you the best of luck and just stay in there.

Another day of guard duty. Sitting at the line 500 meters in, facing the risk of bandits, the dark ones, and who knows what the hell else. The warmth of the fire is the only and the stories the other men tell is what makes it all worth while. Last time we heard something off the line, Pyotr was exaggerating yhe story about Polezhaevskaya and how everyone disappeared. If I hadn't relized the sound wasn't human steps I might have killed the poor mut that scurried by. I'm still worried about that Hunter guy. How does he know my father and what did he mean his name was more of a job? Whatever it was I hope he's visiting the station for business that benefits us.

My life is simple wake up eat, drink, watch ANTM, and sleep and also carry my oxygen tank everywhere. Augestes waters Stared at me with his beautiful light blue eyes.

I wish I could tell Hannah and Pilar that my dad left us, and we where about to be poor. But I knew what Hannah would say; "Oh. You aren't like us? (Rich, 'perfect' and beautiful) Sorry I can't be caught with you." She wouldn't say it directly, but I knew she would drop me faster then last years fashion trend. Honestly? I think she would do it any day if I didn't do as she wanted me to. And Pilar just fallows her orders. She's nicer than Hannah, but she would drop me too. That's the difference between those who have money to spare, and those who don't. Those who fit in perfectly, and those who have to sneak there way in.

If I live, if I die, it's all up to me. How can I stay with no family, but how could I leave without Adam? We're so similar yet so far apart. He's a rock star, and I'm a cello player. He's going on tour, I'm going to Julliard. How can things ever be the same again?

With taz gone, i felt lonely at times. Sure there were the guys and cricket and java, but somehow i did'nt feel as connected to them as i had to taz. Cricket was pretty quiet and kept to herself, and java was always with jeopardy, so i did'nt have anyone to share stupid girls secrets. I started hiking more and more with sam. He always made me laugh. We spend days hiking together, singing silly camp songs, and goofing around. Its fun to be around someone smart and so uninhibited about everything.

Aint nobody appreciate my work, they all think im dum. Im not trying to hurt the mice or anyone else. Im just trying to work o me and george can buy that house and i can tend the rabbits. -Lennie of mice and men.
ReplyDeleteim not even as immature as my brother makes me out to be, i swear. He just likes to make me look like a fool, because hes older than me. How will i even get through freshman year?
ReplyDeleteMy sister used to do that, but shes younger than me. I used to push her down but i kept going in time out so it really wasn't worth it. But now that im sick shes been a saint.
DeleteI have a big brother in a band and he makes my life a living hell. He is the biggest bully ever. My mom and dad dont really do anything. He has this junky van for him and his crew with the band name on the side of it. His name is rodrick.

I never thought in a million years going to a stupid support group would actually be worth something. Until I met this one guy who hid his struggle better than I could. His name was Augustes Waters. He wasn't just any random kid who needed "help" like I did though, he was the love of my life. He didn't care that I always talked about how bad my lungs were or that I always dragged my oxygen tank behind me. He loved me for me sick or not. And I loved him just the same.

Im tired of getting bullied because im small i just wanna fit in but no one cares to help not even my brother
ReplyDeleteso like me i get bullied by my brother and all the girls think im ugly and i just want to be like my bro
DeleteEveryone in this school hates me, and I hate them, too. My only friend here named Jeff, but he is also the other girls's friend which I hate so much and fought with them not even once. Because of this, we are not friend anymore. And my consoular, Caral, she is wired, different from others. I hate her so much, but the other side of me, i kind of like her. Anyways, I hate everything in this school, except myself.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe the power went out. I am going to be late for school and I have nothing ready for school. My mom and brother are up and they didn't even wake me up?! I quickly got a pop tart and shoved all of my homework in my bag then I rode my bike fast to school.
