This is Minna's diary. Whatever that guy did to you, Minna, he's not getting away with it.

I love having an excuse to be as weird as possible in public, to act totally cracked out in the middle of the hallway and not care because “hey, it’s finals!” Read More »
Naomi
Being ill gave me the ability to check out of life for a while, which I felt I needed to do. But now I’m trying to check back in. Read More »

We’re all 17 or 18, can’t we just ditch the notion that we absolutely have to be skinny for one night? Read More »

Have you seen Heathers? You should see Heathers. Read More »
Hehe my high school’s finals are after the winter break… but then I get stressed out during the holidays, :\
Oooh I’ll have to watch Heathers! Sounds like a good movie. :) I love the giant flower brooch(?) Veronica is wearing.
Log in to replyMy high school was that way too, it was so much better. That way I could enjoy the holiday season instead of being at school for 15 hours a day for 3 straight weeks. I miss making gingerbread houses on the last day before winter break, instead of sitting through 4 hour long art critiques.
Log in to replyEveryone should watch Heathers, seriously.
Log in to replyOh, and that’s not Veronica, it’s one of the Heathers ( Duke maybe?).
Anyway, Winona plays Veronica, being all awesome and stuff!
Our generation’s Heathers will be Mean Girls.
Log in to replyYES! Recently one of my friends said she has never watched Mean Girls before (!!!) and everyone is so shocked that we immediately have a sleepover to watch the movie. She said that her life has now forever changed LOL
But yeah, it gives a look of the modern social culture (albeit exaggerated) and it has spawned sooo many iconic references. And come on, who doesn’t love Mean Girls? :D
Log in to replyI think I love you, Naomi! I relate to you in the scariest ways and have to reflect for a moment just to reassure myself that I’m not blacking-out and writing these entries myself – ha!
Best of luck “checking in”. It’s weird and frustratingly difficult (why does going to the grocers’ feel so complicated??) but you can definitely pull through it!
Log in to replywell then i love you too!
Log in to replynaomi, i am so proud of your progress. i know how amazing it feels like to be able to look at yourself after a long period of inner turmoil and finally like what you see.
Log in to replyKatherine-
Those girls sound so odd! Anyway…
COOKIE HUSBAND. yes.
Log in to replyI read Naomi’s entry and teared up a little. Sometimes When I’m having a particularly crappy day I look in the mirror and tell myself “I love you”.
Log in to replyI never realized how much time i’ve spent worrying about things that i don’t care about! LIKE TODAY! I was walking, and it started sprinkling, and i got all worked up and worried cuz i thought i would start pouring, and then, i remembered, i like getting soaked by the rain…
Log in to replyHeathers is priceless and lines like “fuck me gently with a chainsaw” and the use of the phrase “you’re beautiful” as a comeback should live forever!
Log in to replyHeathers is brilliant, I love every bit of it ( even the huge shoulder pads and hair)!!
Log in to replyI just watched Heathers on Sunday!!! because it was oddly enough on my Dad’s netflix instant queue…yes both my parents loved it too. it was soo good! but there is this continuity issue in the first “suicide” that has been bugging me
Log in to replyUmmm… Heathers seems WAY too scary for me! I can’t even sit through The Night Before Christmas!
Ohh, and I can completely relate with Ruby when she says sometimes she feels that she has friends just for the sake of having friends…Besides four besties of mine, I feel like that with a lot of people. Especially because I don’t share interests with most of my peers.
Log in to replyDylan, finals are stressing me out too!!! my left eye keeps twitching–i think it’s the combination of the stress, lack of sleep, and the massive amounts of coffee i’ve consumed. but i know what you mean about the solidarity of finals and actually kind of liking them.
Ruby, i was just watching Heathers the other day because it is finally on netflix instant watch! such a great movie! glad you liked it!!
Log in to replyI love Heathers!
Log in to replyKatherine,
Just wait until you’re 23…it will only get worse. However, I find that cookies and a good episode of 30 Rock usually cheers me up.
Log in to replyugh. finals. SERIOUSLY. my last exam is tomorrow morning and i’m going to die.
Log in to replyI’m gonna get ma gurl gang onto him!!!
Log in to replyROOKIE REVENGE
Log in to replyI love Heathers so much. I watched it the first time ages ago (before I ever saw Mean Girls) and fell in love with it. I love the dad’s ‘I don’t patronise bunny rabbits’ bit, and I don’t know why. Such a quotable film.
Log in to replyNaomi – your story sounds exactly what a close friend of mine is going through/was going through last year. I really wish I could show her this and let her know she’s not alone. Thank you for giving hope that, even if it takes a while, things can get better :)
Log in to replyThis is a really relatable article. I definatley procrastinate way too much because I really could care less about what I’m learning. And of course there’s that little thing about how I end up cramming and doing all of my work at the end of each quarter… Oh. I just like to call myself procrastination nation. Pretty much all I do is blog. (BTW my blog is fashionhauties.blogspot.com). That’s my life.
Log in to replyNaomi, I know exactly how you feel. It’s like Plato’s analogy of man coming out the cave for the first time – you see that the world has managed to get on without you, and you realize that you best get livin’, cos no one is going to force you.
I live in a basement apartment, and the current December Canadian weather is depressing as fuck. Hopefully I can find a UV light or something, but for the meantime, I keep on chuggin’.
Log in to replyi love that analogy
Log in to replySorry Katherine, I watched it…. and I cried.
