you wont fucking believe this. last night i was talking about my birthday and my stepdad was all 'courtney this year your mother and i have decided to give you a joint birthday and christmas present'. it fucking sucks. my birthday is on christmas day and THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS. my mum always used to say that i was the best christmas present she ever got, but then a couple of years ago she got a juicemaker and she doesn't say that anymore.
so i turn 15 on christmas day, and i wanted to have a party or at least a birthday inner but everyones always busy. alyson and harley said they might try to come over on boxing day but i dont know, its not the same.
so i always get crappy christmas AND birthday presents, which soooo doesnt add up to two seperate presents. it fucking sucks.
here's a poem i wrote, that kind of is about that but also kind of about something else. i wrote it last night:
Seasonal Duality
competing with the season
is the reason for the pain
never given my chance to shine
the star on the tree is brighter than my need
so in the background i stay
like a forgotten gift touched upon once
then dismissed and forgotten
they see my pain as if its santa clause
disollutioned and fake
never given my chance to shine
like the christmas lights twinkling their lies
because another was born this day
thousands of years ago, well that is what they all say.
because of a lie i am overlooked
because of corperate greed i am overlook
because of consumerism i am overlooked
once more this season, i am overlooked.
fin.
note: i had a bit about christmas ham and turkey, because im a vegeatarian, but i cut it because i think it still needs some work and it was getting too long.

Oh dear courtney, I could make you feel so special this xmas. You like to spoon don't you? I could hold you in my arms, and let all your worries just melt away.

Hey Courtney,
Happy Birthday for Sunday.
Now that you're fifteen will you get a job? Because those $91 concert tickets won't seem so cheap when you're slogging away for $7 an hour saying 'Would you like fries with that?'.
All this will pass. The angst-ridden teens are something we all go through, but it does get better. In the immortal words of Charlie's mother in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,
"Cheer up, Charlie, Give me a smile
What happened to the smile I used to know
Don't you know your grin has always
Been my sunshine;
Let that sunshine show..."
P.S. Paul sucks. Carl rules. For realz.
Courtney,
I think your poetry is an accurate representation of how the youth of today feel. I was your age not too long ago and i remember too well the pain and isolation being a teenager always brings.
Enjoy your chirstmas and birthday as best as you can.
For something to look forward to - Channel V is televising a Green Day concert in the new year so hopefully you can watch that although it won't be the same as being there.
HAHAHAHA U SUCK COURTNEY!!!
second last anon - thank you. i dont have foxtel so i couldnt see it but maybe it will be on again and ill get someone to tape it. i hope you had a good xmas. youre cool.

thanks for your comment susanne. but aul rules and carl sux but yeah i wish i could get a job but im not allowed to work until i finish school. but maybe i can get one secretly or something.
just tell the tax department about keith and they'll let ya get a secret job for sure. my mate's mum worked for the tax department and she had a cunty stepdad so i reckon if you can find her you'll be laughing. her name is Sandy or Sandra or maybe Beth, I'm not sure but hey, how hard could it be, eh?
jobs rock, mate and the money's excellent. i bought a new stereo after 8 months working at KFC and my mum reckons where did you get that bren? and i say awww selling my arse down in the grove mum whadda YOU reckon? and she laughs cos she knows I havent done that since year 9 anyway...
so yeah get a job mate...
