The great story of Scar and Pha Coch

Once upon a time there was a girl named Scarlet. And I guess Phalen can be part of this little story too. This is the part where things got interesting. SOO one dayyy Scarlet met Phalen. And KABAM!; they were best friends, no wait. They became sisters. Donno how it happened, but it did, and I'm so happy that it did :] So now Phalen and Scarlet are best friends for ever and ever and ever and no one is gonna take that away from them. Scarlet and Phalen talk about anything and everything all day long. There isn't one thing they wouldn't tell each other. They can try to fight all they want but it never works out. They can't go a day without each other, without talking to each other, without laughing at each other. Phalen has always been there for Scarlet. Not once has she failed to be there. Nor has Scarlet for pha.

Phalen Cochran is the cheese to my crackers, the peanut butter to my jelly.

Phalen Cochran is Pha, Phi, Phaphee, Pha Coch.

Scarlet Inches is Skillet, Ski, Scar Coch for evaa.

Feelings I didn't even know I could feel

Today
As I stood there arguing with you
I couldn't help but wonder
What to call this new feeling
That I've never felt before.

It was beyond anger
But not hatred
It was more then depression
But not sorrow

It felt like
My eyes were gonna fly outta my head
Like my face was gonna peal off
Like my knuckles were going to be permanently white
Like my knees were gonna collapse
Like if I ever had to look you in the eyes again I would melt

Then I started thinking about
How I could ever even like you
Why you were so mean
How I could be so mean back

Your the kind of person
That makes me wonder who I am
What I believe in
Who I'm friends with
Who I'm not
What I like
What I dont

I dont like questioning those things
Out of all the things in life,
I truely enjoy knowing who I am
But you manage to rip that away from me

You manage to tear all emotion out of me
Until all I can muster up
Is hate and anger

Thanks for destroying me.

Now how bout you go ahead and tell me how that makes YOU feel.

A compilation of random thoughts?

So. I guess that I'm supposed to be writing on this blog thinger. Well I'm not really in the mood to go writing a BIG longggggg blog about, pff, who knows what. But I am in the mood to just go on and on and on about absolutely nothing at all.. OH oh OHHH! MMk so Pha and Lilli and I are going to get goldfish! I'm sooo excited!! I'm planning on naming mine Noodles. Lilli said that she was gonna name hers Sha Err Key. And Phadizzle is still undecided. None of us can wait. Its all that we've been talking about today. When one of us is away our fish will go stay at one of our houses until we come back, kinda like baby sitting I guess? But its fish sitting. But sitting on a poor little fishy would be REALLY mean so I'm just gonna call it a "Fishy Sleepover,". ANYWAYSSS yeahh. OHH. And me and Emily Houck are getting puffer fiiish!!! They are SO cute! But the only problem is that they have to live in a saltwater tank with filters and heaters and stuff. But with gold fish they could just live in your bathtub. Or your toilet? Ok yeah NO. Def not the toilet. That would be fish torture. :S... I believe Snell Dawg has formed a conspiracy against me. For CEREAL. I'm not even kidding you. That man does NOT like me. Well occasionally he does...

Peace out, girl scout ~{[Scarlet]}~

You know who you are.

Dear Boy,
My plan is to break the news to you with as little emotion as possible.
In the beginning
I thought it would never end.
But now im standing here alone and confused.

Why.
Why.
Why.
Well i couldn't really tell ya'
But maybe you can take a stab at it,
Kinda like you did my heart.

Honesty.
Honesty.
Honesty.
Was all I ever really wanted,
Everytime I asked for it,
I could hear the lies pouring out of your mouth,
Like the freaking Nile River
I guess that was I was asking too much,
Cuz I never got what I wanted.
The funny thing is,
It hurt more to hear you lie
Then to hear the truth.

Anger.
Anger.
Anger.
Overcame me.
When my suspicions,
Were only confirmed.
Boy, you played me like a deck of cards in a Vegas casino

Never.
Ever.
Ever.
Was I good enough.
Constantly being compared to the "perfect" standard,
Always letting you down
Falling short.

Ya' see how the very first thing I said went right down the drain,
Just like you and me?
In just a couple seconds,
Just like you and me?
How it went so fast,
Just like you and me?
How I wanted it to stay true,
Just like you and me?
How it didn't,
Just like you and me?
And the worst part is,
I knew who you were from the very beginning.

This is just to say

This is just to say
That I'm sorry I failed you.
Im sorry I was never good enough.

I tried really hard.
Harder than you'll ever know.
And I'm sorry that that just wasn't good enough.

I know you don't think that I was trying.
But I don't really think you were trying very hard either.
So it doesn't really matter anymore.

But the truth is i just wanted things to work out.
And again, I'm sorry i was never good enough.

What am I?

I roll with my homies
I shine like a star
Sometimes I come in handy
Others, I'm just a nusance.
I can hit the ground at the drop of a dime.
What am I?
