I Had a Smile on My Face & I Sat Up Straight

Today, my dad and I worked on math together in preparation for the G.E.D. test I'll be taking on Friday. My sunburn is peeling muchly, but the swelling in my eyelids has lessened considerably, so that's good. I think I scared the people at Fazoli's with my second-degree sunburn, though.

Since nothing very exciting happened today (except that I got to read more of Mondie's AWESOME Newsies fan fic), I'm going to post some lyrics that remind me very much of how I felt in high school. This song mainly reminds me of how things were the year I started at Carman-Ainsworth.

"Unwanted"By Avril Lavigne


All they did was walk over
Start off by shaking your hands
That's how it went
I had a smile on my face and I sat up straight
Oh, yeah, yeah
I wanted to know you
I wanted to show you

[chorus]
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
You don't want me there
You just shut me out
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
If you had your way
You'd just shut me out
Make me go away

No, I just don't understand why
you won't talk to me
It hurts that I'm so unwanted for nothing
Don't talk words against me
I wanted to know you
I wanted to show you

[chorus]
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
You don't want me there
You just shut me out
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
If you had your way
You'd just shut me out
Make me go away
Make me go away

I tried to belong
It didn't seem wrong
My head aches
It's been so long
I'll write this song
That's what it takes

[chorus x2]
Make me go away
Make me go away
