I'm seventeen. I'm a stupid teenager with stupid ideas and stupid thoughts encapsulated and sheltered in a nice, pleasant existence.
You can call me Coco.
I'm a full proponent of food. Pomegranate. Television reruns. Zach Braff. Odwalla juice. Marinara sauce. Cover songs. Sunsets. Sunrises. Torrential downpours. Cinema. Fashion. Feminism. Grammar. Swingsets. Lowercase letters.
I fully believe that a good comedic scene [and a subsequent laughter fit] can cure any ailment. Along with a nice pint of Ben and Jerry's.
I am addicted to Facebook.
I alternately appreciate and abhor high school. Yes, it is awfully cliched. Yes, I feel entirely typical.
I have a fear of squirrels.
Knowledge is intoxicating. I spend summers at nerd camp. Yes, it is blessed.
I am nostalgic for fleeting moments. I miss people and ideas of people.
I write crappy poetry.
I'm a bad combination of television characters. Like a mathematical formula. Rory + Miranda + Charlotte + Joey + Pam + Elliot = Coco. Or something.
I watch far too much television.
I believe in karma, and it usually kicks my ass.
This is my greatest joy.
I'm a failure at friendship, traditionally. I have my fair share [read: an excess] of vices. I'm too often conniving and jealous and bitter. I prefer to deem my extremities as "overzealous passion," but I've realized today--although I suppose I should have realized this long ago--that I'm the only person who views them as so.
I can't keep this up any longer, the screwing up and profusely apologizing. No matter how sincere the apologies, they're becoming threadbare. I'm not proud of myself for what I've done, and I can't even begin to come up with excuses. I'm the queen of blame, and I can't even pass it on this time around.
I'm stupid, but I'm young.
And, I think I'll get through this.
Hi. I'm Coco. And I'm a giant dork.
High school is like the training wheels for the bicycle of real life. It is a time for young people to explore different fields of interest and to hopefully learn from their experiences. In coming to terms with my own personal setback, I've learned that I don't need to rely on drugs and alcohol... And I've learned that to overcome life's obstacles you need faith, hope and, above all, a sense of humor.

Hope you have a wonderful morning [slash] evening. Summer's rendered me incapable of timing. Thanks, as always, for listening.
I'm sorry.
Here's to good friends and overdue epiphanies.
Come visit me soon in my world.
It's lonely without you.
Lots of love,
[C]
