"wtf sam...." is what i tell myself. i'm sure its just a phase of just jumping around. but i dunno. i hadn't seen her in a good while and then, notice her again. unfortunately, i dunno if i want it to pass. but she's in a relationship with another guy. i'm pretty sure i'm just being dumb, and wanting what i can't have....silly me&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;but dancing a lot more lately. always tryin to better myself. there's a huge show this sat. hopefully we'll just murder that show. got a lot of hardcore practice this week. that'll be fun&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-Sam&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://skim-01.xanga.com/682550776/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Dead and Gone</title><link>http://skim-01.xanga.com/676002266/dead-and-gone/</link><guid>http://skim-01.xanga.com/676002266/dead-and-gone/</guid><pubDate>Fri, 26 Sep 2008 21:37:41 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie"
