the perks of being a wallflower

I remember 

my Aunt Helen would always let us kids stay up and watch Saturday Night Live when she was baby-sitting or when she was living with us and my parents went to another couple's house to get drunk and play board games. 

 I remember 

going to sleep, while my brother and sister and Aunt Helen watched Love Boat and Fantasy Island. I could never stay awake when I was that little, and I wish I could, because my brother and sister talk about those moments sometimes. 

Maybe it's sad that these are now memories. And maybe it's not sad. And maybe it's just the fact that we loved Aunt Helen, especially me, and this was the time we could spend with her.

I met Nothing today. Its kind of a funnt story actually. Kids started calling him Patty when his real name is Patrick. And 'Nothing' told these kids, 'Listen, you call me Patrick, or you call me nothing'. 

He is funny, I like him.

“Autumn Leaves”

I fell in love with this song from a mixtape my sister gave to me. It is really good. It makes me feel funny when I hear it. I like that.

Today I read a new book. 

My English teacher gave it to me. 

`To Kill a Mockingbird’

 He told me: ‘it is the kind of book you made your own.’ 

And although I don't know the significance of this, I find it very interesting.

It is now my favorite book of all time, but then again, I always think that until I read another book.

I do my best to love everybody… I’m hard put, sometimes—baby, it’s never an insult to be called what somebody thinks is a bad name. It just shows you how poor that person is, it doesn’t hurt you.

Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird (via wordsnquotes)

What a curious thing high school.

The cafeteria is called the “nutrition center” 

- that's like calling a rollercoaster the throw-up machine! Kind of. 

My fist feels weird. Maybe its because Ipunched someone today.

Today I wrote a letter. 

A letter to an old friend. 

I think it might become a habit, 

I miss talking to you.

“I was suddenly very aware of the fact it was me standing up in that tunnel with the wind over my face. Not caring if I saw downtown. Not even thinking about it. Because I was standing in the tunnel. And I was really there. And that was enough to make me feel infinite.”

Here are some songs that we think that fit really good with the book,

•Whispers-Passenger

•Something-The Beatles

•Back To You-Selena Gomez

•Secrets-Silver Swans

“I think you of all people would understand that because i think you of all people are alive and appreciate what that means. At least I hope you do because other people look to you for strength and friendship and it’s that's simple. At least that's what I’ve heard. So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I’m both happy and sad, and I’m still trying to figure out how that could be.”

Love,

Charlie
