About Me



caught in the lanes of history,
don't i qualify now?
-agha shahid ali

A!M: sayyes detroit

i'm gillian. i'm a selfish teenager who makes way too many mistakes. all i do is whine. i like to learn, even though my grades don't always reflect my thirst for knowledge. my problems are insignificant but my thoughts are not. i try and hide how lost i feel sometimes. i'll stay up all night to wait for the sunrise. i've never been such a failure my entire life, but i've never been happier.

i belong to someone. thank you, eric, for showing me people have hearts. i have never loved anyone so much.

I LOVE GILLIAN

i love these people.
megan. officially my bestfriend. i met her first day of freshman year and she has been a changing force in my life. she's introduced me to new music and new thoughts, and she comes over to my house in a prom dress to watch carrie with me. she kicks my ass at halo all the time. i never saw her bmx, and i hate that, but she has so many other talents that i've seen. she causes people to open up to her instinctivly, with her sweet nature. she's incredible, and i love her.
sam taylor. for almost two years i have been in love with this boy. and he's been breaking my heart for about a year. and every time we stop talking i feel like i could at least put him at the back of my mind. but then every time we start again i remember why i loved him. he likes it when my voice gets tender. i like it when his throat gets choaked with tears. we will never be together, but i would do anything for him. kill anyone for him.
i love him. more than anything. than anyone.
rebecca allyn. she was my link to sam, and i owe him to her. i've never thanked her for that. and lord knows we've had our differences, and our fights. but i trust her more than anything, and we both share a passionate love for diet coke. we have silly phone conversations, and even sillier webcam ones. she knows i hate eye contact, and torments me for it! she's adorable, and has the cutest smile i've ever seen. she makes me happy, and i love her.
tommy! he used to borrow money from me all the time. and then we became friends. and i'm very glad. he's a wonderful person, and a good friend. no amount of frisbee playing can conceal his inner emo, which was brought out by the sweet haircut i gave him last year. :] tommy is fabulous and i love him.
jackie! my beautiful and talented friend. we met at a before-school fire drill, and then went out to dinner later that night, and then a silly party. we were inseperable for a while. we used to walk down my street lifting up all the flags on the mailbox. i gave her a haircut once. she's brilliant and beautiful, and i really, truly love her. and i want her to be happy. i hope she realizes that.
my silly little sister, lauren. she's such a twenle year old, all into her top 40 and her straight blonde hair. but she's really a lot deeper than that, and has a great grasp on who she is. i'm jealous of that, i wish i had that. she knows what she's doing. she's grown up a lot, and i'm proud of her, and i confide in her. she's not only my little sister, she's one of my best friends.
