telephone.

BRIGHT SHINY MORNING.

They lived in a small town in an eastern state it was nowhere anywhere

everywhere, a small American town full of alcohol, abuse and religion.

He worked in an auto-body shop and she worked as a clerk at a gas

station and they were going to get married and buy a house and try to

be better people than their parents. They had dreams but they called

them dreams because they were unrelated to reality, they were a distant

unknown, an impossibility, they would never come true.

He locked the doors of the truck and kissed her and told her she would

be fine and he pulled a video game case from out of the glove compartment.

The case held every cent he had $2100 he

had saved for their wedding. She looked at him and she spoke.

What are we doing?

We're leaving.

Where we going?

California.

We can't just up and go to California.

Yes, we can.

We can't just walk away from our lives.

We don't have lives here. We're just stuck. We'll end up like everyone else,

drunk and mean and miserable.

What'll we do?

Figure it out.

We're just gonna leave and go to California and figure it out?

Yeah, that's what we're gonna do.

She laughed, wiped away her tears.

This is crazy.

Staying's crazy. Leaving's smart. I don't want to waste our life.

OUR?

Yeah.

She smiled.

He pulled out turned west and started driving towards the glow it was

thousands of miles away, he started driving towards the glow.

i'm so lucky to have what i have,
to know the people that i know,
to be able to do the things i do.
i try so hard to do good and to grow and to learn
sometimes i feel a sense of accomplishment,
sometimes i feel like my day was really productive and i've gone really far
but at the end of the day, i look back on everything i've done,
and i still feel as if something is missing, and i still feel unchanged and unaccomplished.

I spent my New Years on a 2-day bus ride home from the States, with a pounding headache and a shitty mood.
Not the best way to start off, but I'm glad I've changed and matured so much over the last year.
I always put other people before myself, and alot of them don't deserve it.
I think I'm finally learning where to draw the line, and to love myself more.
I have met tons of new people, I have made new close friends, even bestfriends.
I have let people in to my life, and pushed people out of it.
I've done things I regret, but I've also done many things I'm absolutely fucking proud of myself for.
and I believe everything that happened, happened for the best, and for a reason.
I always end up doing nothing for New Years, what a disappointment.
I think I'm going to drink tonight after everyone's asleep.

today I saw Armo @ school as he was picking up his sister.
I went to say hi, and I realized how much things have changed since then.
things are different. so much has gone by.
it's not the big scene gino and the little emo asian anymore.
he says i'm not so little now.
he's not so scary anymore either.
i'm not half as shy as i used to be.
things change.

"Take love..." I said.
"What?"
"Nothing. Hold me."
With my head against his chest, my eyelids closed against
his sweatshirt, I saw him. Recognized him. Part man, part
whale.
"I made a picture of you once," I said. "Years ago, way
before I ever even knew you. Your wire rims and everything."
"You did?"
"On my Etch-a-Sketch. A psychic told me to draw what
would make me happy and I drew you. Memorized you
before I shook you free."
He pressed me closer to him. "So what's that mean?" he
said.
"It means I love you. I'm proposing."
"Proposing what?"
"You and me. Marriage."
I looked up, saw the tears in his eyes. "Okay," he said.
"Yes."

Jun. 12th, 2008

telephone.

i'm getting a chill, but it's not 'cos of the breeze.


I dn't know whether I should be laughing or crying.
bahah this is what happens every time.
so honestly i was expecting it.
but every time it happens you still think maybe this time is different.
but again this just proves me right, this is just another reason why.
it makes me so sad when i'm told it's unreasonable or pessimistic that I keep to myself so much and don't let people in.
and then when i do, they just walk out of my life like it's nothing, like nothing ever fucking happened.
they forget about me, they erase me from their lives, they move on without me.
throwing me a little 'sorry' isn't going to fix the fuckin problem.
yeah, i'm a pessimist.
but i have some pretty fucking good reasons to be.
i just don't know what to do anymore.

but i've learned to deal,
i've had to or i'd be insane by now.
honestly sometimes i think i'm slipping, i honestly think i'm starting to lose it
piece by piece.
i search so hard for something to hold on to, something to anchor me down
but there's nothing there.
every time i think i may have found it, it slips away, right through my fingers.
i need something strong, something safe to grasp onto
something to keep me alive.

but ofcourse i'm okay, why wouldn't i be?
whoever said keeping things inside doesn't work is a dumbshit,
i've been doing it for this long, i can keep going.
noone cares enough to take the time to find things out,
everyone gets fed up with me eventually.
and if you even care the littlest bit,
well dear god you're definitely fucking terrible at showing it.
the more hopeful i get, the harder i fight back.
every time i start to feel hopeful, i get let down,
i get disappointed, I get proven right once again.
so i've learned to protect myself,
to put these walls up, to stop myself from going through it again.
once in a while i slip up, but i'm learning each time,
i'm getting stronger, i'm getting

colder.

because i've learned that it's not worth it,
not worth the stress, not worth the disappointed, not worth the pain.
it's not like i don't already have enough on my plate,
not like i dn't already have enough shit to deal with.
the little fleeting happiness isn't worth
getting crushed down again in the end,
EVERY
SINGLE
FUCKING
TIME
.

I can't control this.
but i can lie,
to myself, to everyone.
I can live a lie.
i've been doing it for 14 years.
i'll sit there and pretend i'm okay,
and people will know something's wrong,
but they won't give enough of a fuck to spend more than a minute at most thinking about it.
just keep my motherfucking mouth shut,
in the end everyone's happy.
i'm constantly surprised at what a good actor i actually am,
i'm scared sometimes to think that no one has a single fucking clue AT ALL,
that if i'm desperate enough sometimes I can even convince myself that i'm okay.
but nights when i step out to get away and try to sort things out,
i'll sit in the grass and cry my fucking heart out.
and in that pain i'll get a little comfort in knowing that i'm not yet completely dead.
and then i'll feel an angry satisfaction to know that soon i will be,
and didn't you bring this on yourself?
cos you let those walls down, when you knew you shouldn't have,
but it just felt so right, didnt it?
well this is what you get.
it's tough love, but you'll know better next time, wont you?



Your fingertips across my skin,
the palm trees swaying in the wind,
images.
you sang me spanish lullabies, the sweetest sadness in your eyes,
clever trick.
i never wanna see you unhappy,
i thought you want the same for me..
goodbye my almost lover,

goodbye my hopeless dream,
I'm trying not to think about you, can't you just let me be.
so long, my luckless romance, my back has turned on you,
should I know you'd bring me heartache, almost lovers always do.
we walked along a crowded street, you took my hand and danced with me,
images.
and when you left you kissed my lips, you told me you'd never let forget these images.

i cannot go the ocean, i cannot try the streets at night, i cannot wake up in the morning, without you on my mind,
so you're gone and i'm haunted, and i bet you are just fine.
did i make it that easy to walk right in and out of my life.



ohmygod, don't fail me now, you're all i've got.
I need something to live for.
i need something i can completely throw myself into and forget about everything.
italy must be gorgeous.
it seems i can't wait until summer now,
can't wait to get out of this fuckin shithole.

people should stop asking if something's wrong if they don't actually give a fuck.
there's still people i would stand by through anything,
people i'd die for in a heartbeat.
but there's still no one who knows me completely, better than i know myself.
and that's not even saying alot cos sometimes I'll look in the mirror and not recognize who i'm seeing for a split second,
i'll feel like a completely stranger to myself.
and i'm getting more + more convinced there never will be.

i'm not eating anymore, swear to fuckin god.
i'm gunna run every morning too.
i hope one day i break my leg and fall into the pond and drown and no one finds me.
wouldn't everybody be happier then, haha.
someone please fuckin help me.



every so often there's the song that makes me shiver,
the song that mesmerizes me,
maybe even the song that makes me cry.
it seems like the last couple years, my life's just been a series of these.
it's a broken rollercoaster, with its occasional ups
but generally heading down,
                                                                down,
                                                                            down,
spiralling out of fucking control.
and what chills me to the bone
is that there's nothing I can do about it,
nothing anybody can do about it.
this rollercoaster is doomed to crash,
rockbottom.

i've been sitting here forever trying to decide whether or not i'll change my status.
+ idk what came over me but i did before i could stop myself and i guess it's done now.
guess i'm not gunna be seeing the notebook anytime soon.


..
(:
look ma, a smile.
i'm a'o-fucking-kay.


PS. Jenna, Thom + baby:
please, im begging you, stay strong, stay together, stay happy.
i love you all.
you still give me hope, and you put a smile on my face when i see you so happy together.
it seems you're the rare few who've found true love.


PPS: boy i'm drinking with nxt friday:
ily.
haha. (:
gunna be so sweet, especially now. ;D

btw, i'm not asking for anyone's sympathy.
i personally know alot of kids out there have it so much harder.
i just wanted someone to love, y'know?
but certain people should really get their heads out of their asses and stop being so selfish and take a look around,
maybe think about others once in a while.
the world doesn't revolve around you.
maybe notice how your friends are for a change,
instead of going on about how good your fucking day was and telling me every detail I dn't wanna hear.
bcos someone else might be having one of the worst days of their lives, and mybe a hug or a smile would help.

so today

we got our yearbooks @ school.
I can't believe the year's gone by so fuckin fast,
I know everyone says that but honestly..
I've learned more and changed more in this one year than I have in the rest of my entire life.
Sometimes I'll sit there in a daze and think about the things I've done and I'll be completely shocked at how fast things went by.
I've changed completely, and I've done things I thought I'd never do, in a million years.
I've been through more shit than I ever thought possible, I've experienced so many things and met so many people who've changed my life.
But through everything, I've come to believe that change is for the better.
No matter how bad it seems, you'll only grow and learn and mature from it.
and I've definitely changed for the better this year.
There's been laughter and smiles,
there's been new friendships and loves,
there's been betrayal and anger,
there's been tears and heartbreak,
there's been things that still make me cringe.
But I've learned so much, about myself, about others, about life.
I'd never change any of it, I'd never give any of it up.
It's the things I've done this year that define and shape me,
it's what makes me, me.







...
Your Guardian Angel still makes me shiver every time.
I'll never forget the first time I heard it, the way it made me feel.
I honestly sat there completely still with the song on repeat for a full five minutes.


'if only...'
Those must be the saddest words in the world.

may twenty-ninth.

I love life.
As shitty as it is sometimes, I realize that life is so beautiful and no matter what kindof bad things happen in the world
I just have to take a look around me on a nice sunny day and remember all the things we have.
Life is so gorgeous, and we only have one
I'm gunna live mine to the fullest.
Sometimes I just like to sit outside, at the park or on the car (yeah, ON the car) and just watch things go by
I love every moment of life, even all the little things that don't seem to matter.
I can spend hours watching ants, and think about how wonderful nature is.
Our lives are so busy these days, I try and take the time to slow things down,
sit back and relax,
enjoy the little things in life.
often these little things are the most beautiful.

sometimes when I'm on the bus going somewhere, I look at all the rows of houses flashing by, maybe hundreds of them,
and think about how behind every window in those houses there's a history, a story. There's lives, loves, secrets.
We can only wonder what's behind those tinted dark windows, with their blinds drawn down, hiding from the world.

just take my hand, i'll never let go.

I want someone who I can honestly be myself with.
I want someone I don’t have to be afraid of making a fool of myself around.
I want someone who will be there for me no matter what happens.
I want someone who will completely accept me for who I am, imperfections and all.
I want someone who will know when I need a hug and when to just leave me alone.
I want someone who will take the time every day to make me feel special.
I want someone who won’t be embarrassed of me around anyone, haha!
I want someone who will show that they appreciate me.
I want someone who knows me better than I know myself.
I want someone who will love hanging out with me, even if we’re just sitting there holding hands.
I want someone real and forever.

today I spent two hours popping bubble wrap.


I really need to lose weight,
I’ve gained a lot.
I know I need to,
but I’m too lazy.
I’ll get to it though,
hopefully.

I just made some Pillsbury apple turnovers,
I feel so accomplished.
:)



so it seems the topic of discussion for today is this little icon here:


originally I drew it to depict how much blood I lost from my ear sunday night.
cos mandah stretched it on saturday, andthen sunday night I’m guessing I got pushed into the speaker thinger @ the show,
cos I came home with blood everywhere.
then when I tried to change the taper for a plug,
I gotlike half a cup of blood.
which I would’ve drank, if it didn’t have all that nasty puss stuff in it. D:
Ilove blood. :/

but apparently everybody seems to think it’s period blood.
like zach:
Hay u. I just farted. said:
ROFL NICE FIRST PERIOD > > > >

+ scott made the thoughtful observation that a part of the pool of blood defies gravity.
BLOOD ERECTION!
&then melly thinks that Ishould lick it up, bitch!
but tbh Ithink manduh should do it. ;D
