What are you hiding?

Well, I originally planned on writing this post about how I love people. Plans change. I still can’t bring myself to say that. Every time I start to have the tiniest bit of hope for the human race, someone, somehow diminishes it. So, I will not be writing about how I love people.

I have a question: Do we ever truly know someone?

Everyone has secrets; everyone is hiding something. Does it make sense for a person to be hiding their good side?

Last night I attended an honor roll party at school, from 5-7 pm. It started out interestingly enough. I was waiting in the car for my friends to show up when a van went past us. Guess who was in it? Arrogant Jerk. (Can we change his name to A.J. [stands for arrogant Jerk]?) I looked over to see who it was, and of course it was A.J. He saw me glaring at him, and he kind of smirked. My mom saw the look on my face and asked me who he was. I just told her to glare at him (she didn’t, but still, I told her to.) It was funny though, because the second he got out of his car my mom said, “He looks pompous, full of himself, and he’s too skinny.” I looked at her like she was brilliant. Mostly because she was brilliant, she was dead-on. He is all of those things, arrogant, jerk. Still, while he got out of the car, I couldn’t help but think, “He’s so hot, and he looked at me!” What’s wrong with me?

I wonder what A.J’s hiding. It’s obvious that he pretends he’s nice and brilliant, when in reality he’s a cowardly, arrogant jerk. But everyone could see that, if they looked carefully enough. No, I mean, I wonder what he’s really hiding. There must be something, there always is, with everyone.

A.J isn’t the one hiding his good side though. After we ate, and took a group photo I went into the Wii games room (my friends eventually found me and played too) and started playing Mario Brothers with Brian. Brian! Well, let’s just say I suck at Mario Brothers on the Wii, especially when I don’t know the controls. But anyway, it was an extremely normal and mostly fun game. Brian was nice! Honestly, if he tried a little harder to be nice on a regular basis, he’d be a great guy. He started the game by telling me an entertaining story about why Mario has to keep saving Princess Peach. It had to do with Mario eating a lot of lasagna, and then having to work out, then rescuing Princess peach, and then she turns him down when he ask her out. It was strange, but funny. I mean, the boy can actually have a normal conversation. I was so surprised. Sure, he said some things that were a little annoying, but nothing too bad. Hey, no one can change in one night. I've never thought he was too bad, I’ve always just thought that people need to give him a chance. I was right. I wonder if he knows what he can gain with just a little extra common sense. Why is he hiding his good side? What else is he hiding?

Do you want to know one thing that I’M hiding? Well, I’ll tell you anyway. I’m hiding how much I really want someone to share what I’m hiding with.

Those were the two things I remember most from yesterday (of course they both have to do with guys. Great. =[). Of course other things happened. I got three compliments yesterday. First, Kayla told me my eye make-up looked pretty. Then, when I got to the Honor Roll party Jasmine Stokes (whom I hung out with for the first 15 minutes, before she had to leave) told me I looked really nice, and that she liked my outfit and how she wished we didn’t have to wear uniforms. Then she wrote on the board in the classroom we were playing Wii in, “Baylee es Bonita.” Then when Katelyn came into the room she added, “y Buena” to it, so that it said, “Baylee es Bonita y Buena!” I don’t think they erased it, so when my Spanish teacher goes into her class on Monday she’s going to read it. It’s been a long time since I’ve gotten some nice compliments, and they made me feel nice.

After the party Miranda, Katelyn, and I went to the mall to look at dresses for the spring formal (I still hope I get a date, although I know it won’t happen. I’m going to end up just having to go with my friends). I found my top three dresses and a jacket/cardigan. I am so excited. The dresses are so pretty. Looking at dresses and knowing I’ll be able to buy one makes me feel like a princess. All girls need to feel princessy every once and a while! XD

Afterwards, we went to see The Roommate. It was supposed to be a scary movie. It wasn’t as scary as I had hoped. The hot Ex-boyfriend and Cuddles the cat died. That was it. The worst part was when the cat died. I'm disappointed in it.

Miranda spent the night. I’ve had a rather boring day today. My mom and I went to Woodland Mall and hung out. It was fun and she took me to get a Caramel Sundae from Sonic. Yummy! XD

Super bowl tomorrow!
