Another reason why Riker thinks he and Laura shouldn't be together. :) Poor boy, in such denial.
I don't own anything.
Okay, I got a band-aid. It's all better. No more blood stains. That kind of grossed me out.
Another reason why me and Laura shouldn't be together: age.
I know, I know. Before you bombard me with questions, I know I wrote a song called Wising I was 23 and there's a line in there that says "I'm young, you know, age is overrated!"
But really, it wasn't like I had actually expected the girl to drop everything and run to me. I knew she'd never like me, but it'd seem like a good subject to write a fun song about. So, it's not like I believe whatever I write.
I mean, I know, in a way, age actually is overrated and it's not a big deal. Just how many 365 days we've been on this planet. But for me and Laura, I'm four years older than her for crying out loud. I know in the grand scheme of things four years actually isn't that big of a difference, but it's the fact that she's so young right now. If she was twenty-four and I was twenty-eight, hell, that would be okay. But she's eighteen right now. I'm twenty-two. That's the problem.
Even if age is just a number, it stills throws up this invisible barrier that holds us apart to our own separate sides. I mean, there's no official book along with the first book I mentioned that says 'thou shalt not date a girl who is four years younger than thou,' but it's kind of a negative point. Negative because that piles on the reasons why I shouldn't be with her even though I want toajsbdajsbdsajdbskadbsakhdbskadhsa
I didn't just write that. I didn't just write that. I didn't just write that I wanted to be together with Laura.
Stupid inner impulses that happened to jerk my hand with the pencil in my grip to write that!
I can't erase. I still need a new pencil with a better eraser. I need to search my room for one.
Oh shit. I don't have any.
Okay, I need to hide this journal somewhere where Ross or Rocky won't find it. I know automatically I could trust Ellington, Ryland, or Rydel if they happened to stumble across it. But if Rocky or Ross did... they'd do that thing where they take pictures of each page on their phones and post it online. Or save it for blackmail.
All I need is an eraser, for goodness sake.
My point IS... wait. Let me read to see what I was writing about before I freaked out.
Oh, right. The point IS, even though age is not such a big deal in most situations, it is in this one. And it just adds to the other reasons why I can't be together with Laura. Okay? No Laura. No Laura. No Laura. No Laura.
(Oh great. Rocky's at the door. I need to hide this!)
