it's in the a b c's of growing up.
the echoes of my everything,
the emptiness the whole world sings at night.
the laziness of afternoon,
the reason why I burst and why I bloomed..
the leaky sink of sentiment,
the failed attempts I never could forget.
the metaphors I can't create to comprehend this curse that I call love.

texts from my mom:
"kids wrote letters to teachers for teacher appreciation day and guess what? you got a big card from sydney."
"never doubt that you can make a difference in a kids life."
sydney was a little girl I had my first year teaching preschool. I haven't gotten to work with her for almost 3 years. she was always looking at me and watching me. adorable shy little girl, always well put together with cute outfits and her hair was perfect and she had pretty blue eyes. she never wanted to talk to any one and was terrified of new people. she didn't warm up to me or any of the other teachers for a while. but soon she was always holding my hand. complimenting me on just about everything I did with wide-eyed admiration.
I became close with her mother and ended up playing on a women's rec league with her weekly for the past year or so. syd would send notes sometimes with her. one was a card she had drawn and had a girl with long black hair and a rainbow striped dress (I always leaned toward super bright colors when I got dressed for work at preschool) and flowers and hearts all over it. On the inside she asked me to come over and babysit and play. Even her older sister signed the card. It's been hanging on my bulletin board so I can see it everyday. I wrote her a note back on a piece of ripped paper that I had in my purse and sent it home with her mom. Months later her mom told me sydney had gotten a new purse and was starting to get into really girly-girl things and she was looking in her purse and there was lip gloss, a compact, and a crumpled kleenex. she went the toss the kleenex in the trash and sydney started yelling. It was the note I had written her. crumpled from folding it so many times. I don't even remember what I wrote. I wish I did.

shrug them off.
I'm becoming more absent minded about things I shouldn't be.
And spending more time with memories past that I shouldn't be.
my mind is acting like its in desperate need of a tune up.
forget what you want, remember what you deserve.
this week and next left of school.
gotta hold it together.
then I think I'm going away solo for a vacation.
try and do that tune up thing.

"when i was five or so i had an imaginary friend named joely,
i killed him twice.
once by shark another time by alligator.
were older now but,
we still talk."

no, no, no. the color is all wrong.
It's such a strange concept that loneliness can mind-fuck your world so much, that you feel like no one on the whole planet would care if you disappeared.
or that you'd rather be miserable and by yourself than to let your friends drag you out for some socializing.
and that you feel as though no one single man will ever understand you the way he did.
(but he didn't really understand you at all, right? because it wouldn't be over if he did.)
I can talk myself through everything, and remember what it is I stood for, and make sense of it all and explain it out loud to people.
But my feelings, my inner peace, my heart, my soul, my dreams, my aches, my guts, are still confused and keep twisting and turning and knotting and writhing inside me.
"but you were doing so good!"
I want to sweep someone off their feet and be equally swept.
I know have so much to offer.
I have so much to give.
I know I am a good catch.
I just KNOW I am special even if I wasn't treated that way.
I feel like I am wasting me by not giving.
I just don't get it anymore.
but I do get it.
"and I know you feel alone, but you need to remember how many people really care about you and would do anything for you, because you aren't alone at all."
why are we supposed to feel like we shouldn't depend on anyone else for our happiness?
and when we do realize that, it is then supposedly the moment when we will find someone who we will then depend upon and contribute a lot of our happiness and good feelings and involve in all of our experiences and share in the wholeness and enrich each others lives for a while only to have it ripped away and be like a child riding a bike for the first time without training wheels.
all alone with no instruction.
not on grass, either.
on cement, and scared absolutely shitless.
horribly pessimistic of me, I guess.
but I just feel that way, today.
I wish I could remember how I felt before the year changed to 2007.
my journals are dong a poor job of reminding me of anything related to independence.

mushrooms.
Everything glowed purple, and had auras.
I the traffic lights glowed and flashed and had a black light effect
of the whites glowing and spots of neon.
We walked through the hallway to the bathroom 3 or 4 times before we went in.
Andrea's dark room at the end of the hall was terrifying.
We got lost in the bathroom, the toilet was mean and yelled.
The toilet paper was long and thin and un ending and wrapped around me.
Seizing up was happening. The feeling in your ears with you yawn or
hold a hiccup in. It was happening and coming and going.
Sp fed the fish and we watched them eat and they were transparent. The
ate the food and spit it out.
"Quit playing with your food, or you'll be in trouble!"
Ate the food spit it out. Ate it again.
"You're grounded, no internet for a week!"
"Yo, sj just revoked my fishes internet privileges."
I wanted to lay on the carpet.
So we did.
And laughed untill tears rolled down my face.
An exit song was put on, "can we take this song with us?"
Into the spaceship, I couldn't even read my ipod the letters were
dancing all over, squiggling, lights, casino, jason's spiradic driving, arrival.
"Can we just keep driving please! Go straight!"
Parked, bad people asking us to pay and move the car, nina and I
wouldn't get out, holding onto each other.
"it's like we are playing laser tag" i whispered.
We were coaxed out and walked into a wearhouse.
Bathroom stop. Red carpet, and an art show.
Bad place, dripping walls, no mirrors, pumping bass.
2 fake toilets we were scared to pee in. curtains made of rags w didn't want to touch.
"We need to go! We have to go!"
Next to the stairs.
A million wooden stairs we saw that went straght up into the air.
Hold hands and made it up.
Stage with lights that changed colors and tables of people, turning to stare at us,
"but they aren't really staring at you, ill tell you if anyones staring at you, I promise"
Nick Moore on the phone accross the room next to a window that we
couldn't decide if there was glass in it or not, belined to it to go
touch it, and realized the wall in its entierty next to us was all
mirror. Stared and laughed and moved and spun.
Behind us was a stair case.
Going down and going up.
"Not yet not yet not yet"
Went downstairs, empty blue room with a piano, hit the keys and run.
it was so so warm in that room.
Not read to leave, i spotted across the piano room, 2 door ways,
the first with magenta and blue striped wallpaper, the second and stairway up.
"Which one should we run to?"
"Stairs."
Run up the stairs, hall way covered in dark, or more stairs up.
Ran down the hallway, spooked ran back to the stairs.
Up, and back into the huge ceilinged main room.
Back to the mirrors, and up the staircase this time.
On a roof. we were on a roof, high above the rest of the people.
Halfway to the theater's ceiling.
A roof inside the theatre.
Slanting with small steps and in the corner, plaster falling touch the
ceiling, feet on the floor same time.
Wandered back and forth.
Ceiling falling, wall falling in my hands.
plaster white fingers.
"I want to take my clothes off"
"Not yet"
Down the stairs and out to the spaceship.
Tire tracks deep in the mud next to us, "where did they go in a hurry?"
Following james' car, but didn't realize it until we got there.
hip hip show, metal detector, purse check, "it smells like marajuana in here"
"What are you, the police?"
Temperature so hot.
Sat down.
Mellowed out.
Felt the bass in my water bottle, nina and I held it for hours.
Saw a transvestite.
Huge and black and striped dress, we kept looking and looking at each other.
Bobbing to the music. Lights. Nicks white pants.
Bass. In my chest and my ears.
Just wetting my lips with the water bottle and smoking air.
"Come smoke this blunt with me"
"Are we moving"
"Where are we going"
"Over here"
"Is it okay. Are you okay?"
"Yes, come smoke this over here"
Moved to a new part of the room.
Felt like the ceiling got smaller and the people got taller.
Holding ninas hand, close the stage and speakers, turned my back our
soulder blades touching, I hit the blunt.
Air.
Hit it again.
Air.
Nina put the water bottle top behind my ear, and said "listen to this."
Hit it again.
Air.
Met some people.
Our waters gone, ears started to feel stuffed with cotton.
Need water, line, faces, waited in line, couldn't stand.
"Nina I need to sit"
Went to the old chairs, taken.
Went to back of the place, seats taken.
Everyone was staring. But they weren't right?
Find a bathroom.
"This is bad this feels bad bad bad"
Bathrooms.
Stark white, bright ass lights. Ninas eyes like a cartoon.
Spinning room.
Eyes shut tight, seeing mickey mouse and checkered tile floors twisting up.
Sat down.
"You look really sick"
Leaned over and puked next to the toilet.
Felt like my organs were falling out of my mouth.
Tooks off sweat shirts coat, lifted shirt up.
"I don't want to die"
"You're not going to die"
"Right, cause we are just on drugs."
Vomited again.
We couldn't figure out what to do.
Lost again in the bathroom.
Pressed against the white walls covered in sharpies and different
arrangements of the alphabet that I couldn't read, they were skipping
too much.
Bass slamming the drywall walls, that felt cool against my skin.
"I bet you feel better now. It's cause you smoked!"
"Yes, bad."
Water was found from the faucet that we hadn't thought of finding it there yet.
Made it out of the bathroom.
Found them.
"I thought I was dying in the bathroom. But I'm okay now."
Hop hop show.
Finally stood and focused my attention.
"Hands like glass, covered in shards, clap them hard, clap them hard"
Blew me away.
The performers shrank and I thought I couldn't see, or the front row
grew, and blocked it out.
Dark man, face all black but eyes, blood red, kept walking by me. Eyes
moving and black outlined as if cartoon and drawn over his face.
Blew me away.
Man in a vest in front of me.
Small skinny white girl dancing and raising her hands up.
Everyone raising their hands up.
I looked around everyones hands were up.
"Stand nina, this is good, stand, comere."
A girl came out.
A girl with short hair and sapphire eyes and a jaw line to cut glass.
Her delicate hands were the only feminine thing about her.
Put her small fist in the air.
The whole room had their fists in the air.
Slam.
"Hey everyone talking in the back corner, shut the fuck up, I got
somethin to say."
1, 2 , 3, 4, 5, Rappers anthem.
Nina and I danced.
She sat down.
"I think my trips ending." I said.
Just then It ballooned.
Trip is not over.
Just high and the low of the roller coaster.
Laughing and pulsing, and tapping, and bouncing.
Nina is tierd.
Dark circles under her eyes and hair a mess.
I wonder what I look like.
Walked to jasons car after being slapped in the face with the fresh air.
Not sure if I should leave nina.
Be alone in this place of state of mind of feeling.
"It will be okay."
Bye nina.
More hip hop.
Loud. Pulsing.
Smile stuck on my face, loving the lyrical webs being wrapped around
my head and in my ears.
Last act.
Loudest.
Let's go.
Back to james' car.
Smallest space, eyes covered, lights too much.
Opened for the casino.
Stared.
Kids fighting in the street, seizing up seizing up.
Back to the house and layed on the white couch.
Face down and one shoe on.
Laughed.
Laughed.
Drew pictures.
Listened to them watch boondocks.
Smoked air.
High.
Tripping down.
Layed.
Drank a purple juice box.
Heard a terrifying noise.
"Its okay go back to you happy place."
Ate a brat.
Had the hardest time eating it,
Couldn't bite.
Gather things, went to my car, gas station, rolled blunt, hot chocolate, left over tater tots.

Finally inside.
In my bed.
In my bed.
Let the sunlight in, brighten up your day.
Acceptance means you've won.
You've won the battle royale.
Not dealing, not ignoring, not denying, not fabricating. Not hoping, wishing, and trying to make it so it isn't so.
Accepting.
Accepting means you can move on.
That you can take a deep breath and let go.
Its doesn't mean you can't still be sad sometimes.
You just have to remember you won't be driving those roads anymore, you won't be looking into those eyes the way you used to. Those arms won't be wrapped around you again. You won't call that number at your highest and your lowest and in between.
And when you can accept that...
You can be happy again.
You can take deep breaths and be happy again.
You just have to accept its over and be honest with yourself.
I'm not saying I am perfectly okay.
I am not saying I know everything.
I'm just saying I know what I'm feeling and this fog is beginning to lift, these demons are dispursing, and the cold is starting to leave my extremities.
Baby steps. Believe me.
Just don't go rushing me.
You've won the battle royale.
Not dealing, not ignoring, not denying, not fabricating. Not hoping, wishing, and trying to make it so it isn't so.
Accepting.
Accepting means you can move on.
That you can take a deep breath and let go.
Its doesn't mean you can't still be sad sometimes.
You just have to remember you won't be driving those roads anymore, you won't be looking into those eyes the way you used to. Those arms won't be wrapped around you again. You won't call that number at your highest and your lowest and in between.
And when you can accept that...
You can be happy again.
You can take deep breaths and be happy again.
You just have to accept its over and be honest with yourself.
I'm not saying I am perfectly okay.
I am not saying I know everything.
I'm just saying I know what I'm feeling and this fog is beginning to lift, these demons are dispursing, and the cold is starting to leave my extremities.
Baby steps. Believe me.
Just don't go rushing me.
metric.
you can burn your paper fingers in the ashtray
place your swollen lips on mine
you can shave your heavy head in my carpeted hallway
sure for the first time you're wearing the right clothes
now take them offMeet me on the band room rug
tie my right hand to the ride
you can take a live wire into the bath with you
for a feeling you can't find
you can entertain your childhood friends with a tour of the bedroom
laugh to erase the dirt on your mind
oh let's move out
meet me at the motel
tie my right hand to the bible
too little too late but we don't say no
it's too much to feel
tie my right hand to the bible
place your swollen lips on mine
you can shave your heavy head in my carpeted hallway
sure for the first time you're wearing the right clothes
now take them offMeet me on the band room rug
tie my right hand to the ride
you can take a live wire into the bath with you
for a feeling you can't find
you can entertain your childhood friends with a tour of the bedroom
laugh to erase the dirt on your mind
oh let's move out
meet me at the motel
tie my right hand to the bible
too little too late but we don't say no
it's too much to feel

In the end.
my best friend gave me the best email full of a collection of advice.
I don't know what I'd do without her.
Each piece we write, whether it is long, short, or a few words, is a mile marker on our grief journey. These markers lead us to new feelings, discoveries, and wisdom. Don't edit
yourself as you go. One of the best results of writing it all down is that sometimes you will be amazed by a sudden insight that comes to you as you are pouring it all out onto paper.
Patterns may become clearer, and as your grieving begins to lessen, you will find it so much easier to "get" valuable life lessons from the whole experience if you've been writing your
way through it.
No relationship is ever a failure if you manage to learn something about yourself from having gone through it all with your heart open to both joy and pain.
Just because it didn't work out doesn't mean it wasn't a necessary part of your journey to becoming who you're meant to be.
Allow at least the learning part to enrich your life.
*Let go.*
Understand that there is no benefit in holding on to heartache,
regret, and hatred toward another person. Realize that although it is over, your relationship with that person was unique and special in a lot of ways.
You can congratulate yourself for being brave enough to take a risk and fall in love, and encourage your heart that even though love didn't work out this time, there will be a next time.
there will be a next time.
there will be a next time.
there will be a next time.
Walk out of your heartache, knowing that you have done all that you can do, said all that you can say, and given as much as you can give. When you feel that you did your part as best you could, but he didn't meet you halfway, then you will not need to torture yourself with "what-ifs".
Remember that this pain just has to be survived. It takes a season of time to heal, like a broken arm - there is no magical, instant cure or relief.
You won't die from it, though you may feel like you will for a time.
Endure.
Endure.
Endure.
Endure.
Eventually you will feel better, the pain will lessen, and you will
be able to love again.
Taking the high road may be hard now, but you'll be glad later that you didn't stoop to the gutter, even though you could have.
Every day, find something that will make you smile. Smiling really helps, even at the worst time of your life. You are free to be whoever you want to be now, without thinking "will he/she mind if I do that?".
Nothing is more important than you.
Nothing is more important than you.
Nothing is more important than you.
Love yourself, love life, and when you wake up...
SMILE.

almost everyone thinks they will never be happy again, but the
human spirit is amazing — and the heartbreak almost always heals after a while. humans are adaptable.
I can't wait for this.
"I now avidly pursue the future as I welcome life’s unexpected joys and experiences. A new life and outlook has emerged, and it is interwoven with bits and pieces of my former life. I am thankful to have found myself again."
I will be okay.
The childish response to the letter that was my hearts brutal honesty seals the deal.
I made an effort. A hell of an effort.
Its time.
“What we have once enjoyed we can never lose.
All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.”
– Helen Keller

"wakes up the next day, yells at me..."
Anxious.
So anxious.
So much of my heart has been poured onto those sheets of notebook.
I'm in the air writing this .... Dallas to austin.
Short 30 minute flight.
AG and MF on either side and I've never been so releived to be leaving the state.
I just wish I didn't have this following me.
But I'll be okay. Never better.
We all just reclined our seats at the same time.
Rocking our heads at our own headphones pace.
I sent the letter overnight.
Band of Horses just on repeat.
Hand cramps and heartaches.
Chewing gum and in flight lavatories.
sxsw here we come.
But saint patties day comes first.
I've got andys headphones on ... Le tigre -Deceptacon.
He keeps starting it over because it fucking rocks your face off hard at the beginning.
"We listened to the same song the whole time."
"That was not 30 minutes."
FUCK YES BRING IT ON AUSTIN.

spring.
"if sj was a flower, i'd give her water but not let her drown. just as i'd give her sunlight but not let her brown. i'd trim her sides and aide her growth, and i'd remove the weeds that restrict her most. you see, sj is a flower, with or without me. as a single rose she is content and happy. she will grow strong and tall regardless, but i'll give her all the love that my green thumb can harness. enjoy your day and keep your head high. you are one of a kind."
good thing no one was cuddling in the red zone with nick norton.

is it weird im blogging?
3:11am.
4 day bender.
Drove home from detroit today to shower and come back. Came out friday. Sunday is tomorrow and I pick up drew at "ten to eight" pm tomorrow!
Sp's kicking everyone but the home team out of the house.
Funk night last night was smoky, dark, drugged, and beautiful. I danced my face off and was wooed by RAs continous wash of new moves she dusted off the shelf. Hazy, warm, and cold is how that was. and is.
"That kids like cool but pretty weird kinda"
"Hecka strange you know what I'm sayin"
"I think I'm gonna leave."
"Sure."
People are still loitering, drunk girls who didn't plan a ride home, stragglers who aren't done drowning their sorrows, and drunk asses who don't know home from ham.
"Take it around the world you know what I'm sayin? A and A. Answas and Andswas."
"Dick ass dick"
"He's so tiny but I still want to play!"
"Yo pelvis is whack"
"Faygo fa Dayzo"
"You straight scannin'!"
I have soundbites, a few photos, "holy fuck mustache party, get hyfee (or how ever the fuck you spell it)", hilarious mental images, dance offs, and a fuckin' constand buzz and faded smile for a rad ass weekend.
"I'm callin it a night."

do you know
I really used to think that when tv shows said to be continued, the actors would stop then too and resume shooting the scene in the same outfits the next week.
I mean when I was little.
And I live in the same complex as people with 2 haunted cars. One is a red jeep wrangler that is always running with no one in it. Like at weird times. Like 4am when I just walked past it. And the other is a silver kia I have NEVER seen in a different parking spot. And one time it had a dead pidgeon on the trunk. And another time the trunk was just open for like 20 minutes while I was high talking on the phone.
Ya das fine.

do you want to drive to the ocean today?
Sure, okay.
Friday NM, SP, and I got into my car, ran various errands, smoked a lot, played hours of music, and drove 700 miles to virginia beach. We arrived at 4:30am and went straight to the beach. Touched the ocean. Drank a few beers, somve voddy drinks, and NM and I were handed a 'wutang' tab to split. We rolled, drew pictures, danced, and drank and went to bed at 8 am amd woke up at 1pm or so and SP made breakfast. NM and I took them too the beach and stood on a sandbar in the ocean and ate bacon and eggs with a beer.
The boys were struggling trying to find weed so we played a card game, watched the boys play horseshoes, and drank more for a little and we decided we wanted to go to the boulavard to do some shopping. We hit the thrift stores and the grocery store. After JK bbm-ed me a picture of what the streets looked like in West Bloomfield back in MI, NM and I found ugly ass sweaters to wear to the bar that night since we sure as hell were going to stay another evening. SP made salmon, chicken, and pasta for everyone. NM and I decided to shower so we continued drinking and hurried through a power shower drunk as hell already. The plan was to go to their dive bar and party up after dinner. ZW kind of split on us for a little and we were pretty mu too drunk to really take it personal. We arrived at the bar and as usual NM and I took about 3 hours to leave the car. We finally made it in, and ZW was still not there. And their version of a dive bar was 20 guys to every 1 girl. ZW finally arrives. He blew us off to blow other things. But whatever, we've all got addictions right? ... So bar night comes to an end after a lot of really drunk akwardness and too much personal space invasion, we head back to the house. More drinking and partying, and we got ditched 2 more times. and long story short... Cocaine is an evil drug and it breaks my heart to have seen it yet again first hand how it destroys peoples lives and relationships. The fact of the matter, no matter how much we love ZW, he had made it clear, he will always choose drugs over us. As fun as it was, there were a few red flags that really prepared me for the final scene of our night leaving VB, which we compared to the last scenes of 28 days later.
"you are a wild child that handles herself like a grown ass woman."
We left at 4:30am, SP stepped up and drove, nina and I woke up at 11 in ohio.
I had to pick my best friend up off the ground again. Lift her up and wipe the tears, snot, or vomit from her face. I love that girl more than anything. I want nothing more than for her to be happy and treated right. I'm not going to lie to her or cover up things to benifit a guy. She will do the exact same thing for me. There's someone out there that will love every single thing about her. And vice versa. There's someone out there for everyone.
I'm on spring break. I'm anxious and having trouble sleeping. A lot has happened in the past few days. I am trying to figure out what the hell "me time" is.
I want a puppy.
Ps.
Ill add some pictures to go with this trip description later.

"theres more to life
than love and being together.
you went away cause you said you couldn't love me. I went away because all I do is love you. I don't think that we have to be like this forever."
Your room. The time passed, then heat. Then sweat. Each layer, each wall, each fabric you peeled. Please don't make me another girl. I'm a sucker for you and I can't think straight.

real quick:
"In those situations I always say I'm hard to get and unsure and imply that it takes a lot of conversation to impress me. So they don't try and lip smack me unless I'm hammered and feel bored enough that's me though haha"
best friend advice.
Can I kick it? The days are long and I feel like they are packed... I wonder if they are. I still feel a little empty. Scarily, I'm not sure if I'm just glutonous and can't get enough and will never feel full.
Ok I just work to hard to find the flaw in what's surrounding and at points had me content and my hunger satisfied.
The sun shines. The clouds block the rays. The winds always blowing. Is it the sun I want? That I need? Or is it the moon?

how are you supposed to breathe when you are falling from an airplane?
A. You don't have to, you breathe through your skin.
B. Short, tiny breaths.
C. Long, deep breaths.
"TODAY"
red ink, pink nails, severe anxiety, testing next class, earthquakes this class, head stuck in LA, heart stuck in yesterday, triangulation, looking for the next best thing, thirteen on my side, diamonds on my wrists, mustache on my finger, feather on my ankle, memory on my back, next to the monkey, and the chip on my shoulder, hangover from the love hangover, heart wearing off on my hand, at least its not on my sleeve, hard to read, read to me in bed, sing to me, take pictures of me, memorize me, commit to me, commit me to memories, just let me tell you, baby. (the answer to the question is a.)
SICK OF IT
SO, SO, SO, SO SICK OF IT.
it's not running away.
it's not ignoring.
it's not bitching.
it's being worth it.
it's being appreciated.
it's being respected.
it's being a friend.
it's meaning what you say.
it's doing what you mean.
all the time.
not part time.
treat me how you want to be treated.
I thought we all knew this by now?
I would love to know
How I could have POSSIBLY slept in this morning and been 30 minutes late for my class...
at least I wasn't splashed by a car driving through a huge puddle like poor RA this morning. :(
As usual I have been having very weird dreams. I dreamt my coat had a hole in the back of it a few days ago and I have been wearing it and remember about the hole and being careful what I do with my arms as to not make it bigger. then last night I remembered it again while it was off of me, and I inspected for the hole to see if it was fixable... and there was no hole at all. I went over all the seams... all the lining, sleeves... everything. Very weird.
Hoping to see CD this evening... it's been years? We'll see.
Big weekend coming...
I'm not sure if I am ready.
BUT...
I don't really have a choice do I?
LETS GO
"Recurring dreams
And how I just can't sleep
Unless I've had a drink or five
Oh these feelings
I don't know if you've been there
I don't think I can go there again
yeah these feelings
I don't know if you've been there
But I don't think I can go there again
I down this bottle of wine
I don't know how to feel but
I don't mind the buzz"
"I shoulda said five, six, you a fly ass bitch."
"One, two, I'm thinking of you, three, four, your back is sore, five, six, hope you like this, seven, eight, spring is great, nine, ten, I'll make pancakes my friend!"
Lucifer VII is on shuffle on my speaker dock, sliding door wide open, finally getting this project started I've been thinking about for weeks with a nice breeze at my desk.
I really needed something to do with my hands.
I wonder when my neighbors will come pounding on my door to complain about the noise... good thing I can't hear it even if they do.

15 hours
Of my life were just spent sleeping.
The rest of the world was enjoying another warmish day. I have my sliding door open in my room and was lulled in and our of dreams by traffic sounds and the noise of tires driving on wet cement.
Wild dreams all day but I was too tired to write them down.
Maybe it was fajita fest at AG's and smoking lots with him and JT that knocked me out. Whatever it was, I'm not even mad, I must have needed it.
So goodmorning/evening I am going to play volleyball... And probably be awake for the next 3 days.
I'm excited for tomorrow being my last day of my school week, thursday being SIM's show imma merch with my sister maybe NM, birthday fest at smellbow after, friday maybe detroit to SP's for another birthday jam, saturday toronto with SB and KK. Good things.
Austin, TX so soon.

do I have
to spell it out for you?
or scream it in your face?
the chemistry between us could destroy this place.
I got many things accomplished today.
my back is in raging pain... But ill see a doctor on tuesday finally to figure it out and get me off these pills so I can begin using them recreationally.
dinner at the blue tractor with JF and DM should put the smile back on my face since i had to stay inside all fucking day on Michigan's surprise nice day.
after that, I have a date with craig's list.
hes like a bone stick.
We are all in a state of constant departure.
Without ever reaching an arrival.
Warm day in february. Defrosts the ice we were slipping on all night. A rough night. Ended up driving to detroit at 5 am with NM. Porky the pig, peach blunts, and a mini vacation.
I'm frusterated. I gave you chances. So many. And each one was trashed worse than the last. I keep saying it will be the last time. It positively has to be now. You know what I'm all about, I layed my cards.
I won't take it to personal.
JC's first show with SIM tonight. Ill be sittin at the merch table. I hope there's a bar.

i forgot
"You know it kills me to see such a pretty girl so tired
You've got your mother's cheekbones and your father's crooked smile
Forget all those places that you've never really been
And all those situations you somehow found yourself in
Let your body sink into me, like your favorite memory
Like a line of poetry or a fuckin' fit of honesty
I'll do my best to keep you, keep you sleepy as the south
With my old watch on your wrist and my thumbs inside your mouth
Suck on my fingertips until' you kill all my prints
So your boyfriend has no clue of how much I've been touching you
My problem with me is my problem with you
It doesn't take much for me to come unglued
I put my headphones on and hear your favorite songs
And it kills me to know that this won't be one of them
You know it saves me to think even for a little while
I owned the set of shoulders that you came to rely on
Like in that movie theater when you whispered in my ear
I almost didn't make it, this has been my hardest year
Your job is killing you, faster than a cancer could
So now you're giving up, like they always said you would
You've got that old map out now and you found the farthest town
You hope that if you're lucky this is where you'll settle down
I don't care where you move, I don't care if it's far
All that I ask is that I know where you are
In case our timing is right, in case you need more from me
Than a bit of advice or a tongue full of sympathy."

how long is too long?
How long does it take to build the dam to block this? I told RA it feels like I'm building with jenga blocks instead of mortor, bricks, cement, and glue. Someone, somethings, sometimes, somemoments happen in my normal routine and the blocks get strategically pulled out to the point I'm practically a fountian show, but I'm still standing. Why does the tower fall every day still? Why do I still wonder. Why does this always hurt so bad when I'm all alone? Before I sleep a night of tossing and turning waking up crying. I wish I could stay awake forever. I tried. I'll sleep when my body makes me.
sleeps for when you are tierd?
yeah well, I came home form work, awake for 27 hours, and fell asleep at my kitchen table on my arm. woke up, and I barely remember this, just the pain in my shoulder from sleeping on it, trudged to my room, and fell asleep, lights on, clothes, shoes, and scarf on, on top of my blankets. My phone was going nuts, I seem to have sleep answered a few, and I slept through my class this morning.after a short message to my professor, waking up J when I cursed realizing the time, and C sleeping on the couch, I decided to put together the large format camera I checked out from my school. it's beautiful. I'm hoping to take some photos of MA's back tattoos, and basically his body suit. It's funny because I'm putting so much thought into it because I only have 4 chances, since I only loaded 4 film holders at school. I hope they turn out great.
I pick up AG from the airport, he's been drinking in NY for the past few days and I assume we will be drinking more upon his return. Good thing I have to work at 8 am tomorrow morning.
BACK IN THE GRIND
gotta make it to spring.
my bones are screaming.
gotta make it to spring.

here's to
being in college and pulling all nighters.
nothing like a 5 am shower and being able to catch transformers on tv.
and still not being confident you're prepared for a test.
sleeps for when you're tierd.
RK:
Hey, Hot Stuff,
Can't wait til you get over that guy you were with. He sounds like a real jerk. Hope it's soon. You're way too tasty to be alone for too long. Come find me. I'm out here waiting.

sister said to a her sister one time:
SJ: I want to forget I ever loved.
AJ: well you can't so you might as well just find bigger and better love. Might take a long time but J wasn't your one shot at happiness. You're beautiful and smart so smart and you have a way of making everyone around you feel special and lucky. It's really sad you and J didn't work out, but you're one of those people meant for great love. you deserve it and you'll find it. Meanwhile I big love you more than ANYTHING and for ALWAYS.
pulled all directions.
Its weird when things just hit you. Things you never thought about all at the same time.
If you would have asked me 5 years ago where I'd be now... I'd have no idea.
But I'm here now... I'm still not sure If I have an idea.
I went to the bar to drop something off and I hadn't planned on staying but I ran into NB. it really hit me that he is leaving for the army. I can't believe it. I've been trying to pretend like it wasn't really going to happen. He's one of my dearest, oldest friends. His mom and aunt were there, and his mom flew in from california and I haven't seen either of them in a long time. His mom since we were taking bong hits and playing n64 in the basement at his aunt's house where he used to live down the street from me. I was a barely senior in high school. I can still see me, his brother and mom fresh in from cali, his aunt and him all sitting laughing, taking pictures and bullshitting. We had gone out to dinner and his mom was sneaking me gingerbread martinis and his aunt was wearing the "I'm not a lonely spinster, I'm a happy lesbian" pin I had bough her to wear. I kept having to stand alone so I wouldn't get my tears noticed. it was really hard. It will be really hard. But I believe in him. I have to.
Standing drunk and alone thinking in flashes and scenes, I noticed how many directions people are trying to pull me. I am too strong to let myself do these things. I know what I want. I can't keep letting myself get walked all over. I don't owe any single person anything but to myself and that's to be happy. I'm sick of crying over people. I'm empathetic and I worry and I care. I'm sick of feeling unappreciated. I'm sick of looking out for their feelings when no ones looking out for mine. before I had gone out I had a break down and cried in the shower and needed to talk to someone who would set me straight last night and thankfully the right person lent me her ear and really said what I needed.
RA: S, J is gone. Its over. It doesn't matter how he remembers you last, hell only remember what he wants. Its completely out of your control.
SJ: I want to believe that I feel like I can't.
RA: Then you're going to keep breaking down. And no one can help you until you help you.
SJ: I don't want to let him go...
RA: Well then expect to keep crying and not having strength and not being happy. I don't mean that bad but its the truth and you're in denial and you know that. People are going to keep telling you the same thing over and over but if you aren't believing it and turning yourself around its all pointless. You are trying to be optimistic about something that will never take place and is dead. Which means your putting your energies into literally nothing. If you don't expand on something that will grow then expect what your doing now to continue.
I need growth. And to be happy alone before I can ever be happy with any man.

I always was happier alone.
I have to find myself again from wherever I lost myself.
I have to find myself again from wherever I lost myself.
I can say this right now, I know this is fact, I have said it before.
it's the whole fact of doing and believing and staying.
I got to see PD while he was back from oregon. In the short time he really supported my plans for moving without even saying it. Just hearing someone else doing exactly what I want to be doing and someone that's happy and making it. I am thrilled for him.
August?
Positivity.
NM: we got this girl. Ne mf day

its sooo cold.
Michigan gets colder every single winter I swear. I don't remember having any problems being cold thrown out in a snowsuit and locked out of my house for hours at a time when I was little.
JC, KT, and I killed 4 hours at the mall waiting to have the fucks at the genius bar to just look at lucifer VI and give me lucifer VII. I hate ipods. but I love luci.
I sat at Brookstone in the massage chair and feet in the massage boots. Forever in one seat and then swapped with KT and switched for another 20 minutes. 2 different associates tried to give us the run down on the equipment, like I have the money for a 500$ foot massager. I made conversation with the stranger next to me and he told me how he comes to sit there in the chairs "regularly."
I bought groceries also for the first time in ages. It was weird. I only bought things I like. and that I could make. I also decided that there should be grocery stores for single people.
Half heads of lettuce.
2 romaine hearts.
Half a melon.
Half siZe of bagles.
One chicken breast.
Mini slabs of ribs.
No one cares of you're buying groceries for one.

"You're okay, you're alive, and we all love you more than anything."
This winter is so hard. Its horrible to see your best friends heartbroken and crying. RB's breakup, SB's dad, my break up, JC's seperations, JC's grandpa passing, my ma going to the hospital, KK's breakup, my sisters breakup, NM's boy beef, HM leaving. But we are all learning together. And I've been low as hell a lot the past few months. But were making it. Were all going to be okay.
R yakkin in the toilet, me and K sitting on the floor drunk and faded talking about how this is so typical, just rotating positions.
"At least one of us isn't crying at this point."
"Hey, if you find your dignity, will you double check for mine? I think mines with yours."
I get it. N I will always get it. And you know.
"Hey come be the meat to our buns! Wait that sounds gross but really me and S want you to be in between us. In a gross way."
And KT "why the FUCK isn't he answering!? Its 11 am there. What is he DOING?"
As soon as I get off work I'm going to sleep forever.
Yes.

One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree.
"Which road do I take?" she asked.
"Where do you want to go?" was his response.
"I don't know," Alice answered.
"Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter."

8:47 pm // sj- I wish every day that my journal could write back to me. Is it okay to staple pages closed?
8:48pm // ar- okay to staple. not to glue.
8:50 pm // sj- I broke my rule and ripped out some pages. I put them in a box under my bed. they are in the dark next to the faces and the memories I can't read or see in the light anymore.
9:40 // ar- keep them safe. don't throw them away. each page makes you who you are today.

"I gotta move,
While the streets ahead are sunny
Fall in love with some honey.
Oohh mama, I gotta move.
I just can't sit still,
In this small town,
There's nothin more here I hit the ceiling,
So in the morning I'll hit the highway.
Ooohh, I just can't stay
Its time I broke out into the open,
You know I'll settle down again some day,
I need some new land, and form a rock band.
Oohh, I just can't stay. "
ME.
"I ain't looking to compete with you, beat, or cheat,
or mistreat you, simplify you, classify you, deny, defy,
or crucify you. All I really want to do is, baby, be friends with you."
I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure.
I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle.
But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.
I want people to love me for me.
I don't want to have to watch what I say.
I want you to finish my sentence, instead.
I don't want to worry about you but I like to be worried about.
I want my space, but I want to be smothered with affection.
I want the chase but don't be too hard to get.
I want you to text me when I am thinking about texting you.
I would like you to make plans instead of asking if I wanna.
I like surprises, but not when I have to wait to get them.
if you're out there....
the more I write, the more I think there isn't a single person who could be that good.

we scrape nickles and dimes from the bottom of our purses just to get by.
we tip 30% then drive home on empty.
we skip food and buy clothes or weed instead.
we drink paychecks away in the elbow room.

we talk about our hearts till we are blue in the face.
we've seen everyone at their breaking point,
and been next to them to help put them back together.

we hug goodbye.
we hug hello.
we don't like strangers. unless they are cute.
we all make the same mistakes.
I quit smoking, and suddenly I can pay all my bills now.
but I want to keep smoking.

we sleep little because we don't want to miss a thing.
and drink too much coffee just because it keeps our hands warm.

names i like for my future children.
I know I can't wait to have children.
I always have wanted to be a mommy.
I always wished I could talk to animals or even just one kind of animal like a horse whisperer. I seem to have lucked out and and I'm able talk to babies and toddlers. I'm a magnet. When I pick up the kids form daycare, I wait by the toddler playpen and they all crawl across it to reach towards me and smile at me. i love it.
this is me planning ahead: but I've got a lot of time to think about it.

jealousy holds love's hand
in a vice-like grip.
every bone broken in seperation.
my hands are broken.
what's left of them are yours to hold.
be gentle though.
I swear I'll intertwine my fingers around yours honestly.
my cameras broken.
or I'd take pictures of my fingerprints so you can put them all over you.

rat in its maze looking for the prize.

christmas?
Its cold creeping into my veins.
Its warmth stolen from my extremities.
The white powder isn't intensifying my heart beat.
Its warmth stolen from my extremities.
The white powder isn't intensifying my heart beat.
No electric jolts. No feelings foreign.
But its everywhere. Everywhere.
Its on my hands.
Its on my face.
Shake to get it off me.
Its on the ground.
Its falling from the sky.
I hate it. I hate it.
Tis the season.
But its everywhere. Everywhere.
Its on my hands.
Its on my face.
Shake to get it off me.
Its on the ground.
Its falling from the sky.
I hate it. I hate it.
Tis the season.
it's no different.
"If you're so very entertaining
then why are you on your own tonight?
if you're so very good looking, why do you sleep alone tonight?
i know, 'cus tonight is just like any other night, that's why you're on your own tonight."
then why are you on your own tonight?

i know, 'cus tonight is just like any other night, that's why you're on your own tonight."
it's really over.
i loved you.
whole heartedly.
I swear I'll never come back and delete this no matter how nasty you are to me.

or was it the year before?
why did we ever stop?
snow.
"this was not a faerie tale.
this was not the movies.
this was life.
it hurt more.
it was excruciating.
it was excruciatingly beautiful."
pow.
there's commercials in my head.
when the fuck does the sitcom start
I'm already sick of winter and it's barely started.
I need to get out of here.

bare bones
the winter so cold your bones feel like rods of ice ready to crack.
no more fields lit up with green electric sparks that you try to catch & wear them in your hair, the fireflies are dead.
no more sugar sweet sunshine-y days soaking in natural warmth, drinking lemonade, donning sunglasses & a tan.
no more bonfires, wearing a hoodie to fend the weak evening chill, where peoples faces dance in the flickering, spooky, light, luke warm beers clutched in hand, & cameras in the other. midnights followed by adventures in the comfortable air with the windows down, music loud, & mini skirts riding higher than they should.
now big, cold, sparkling glass windows revervberate with drum beats from indoor havens. hidden in layers, skin barely touches, hugs seem impersonal in down, wool, & gortex. 67843278943 pairs of uggs (UGGHHHs / ugglies ) shadow the sun.
this stupid season is a weird, cold, power machine. closes me like a fortress & nothing can open it. its a physical sensation in my chest. a hardening & heaviness, wood planks & metal locks. it frightens me more than anything anyone has ever done to me.
I'm a girl with a mind like a miniature movie theater, & the winters always dark & lonely.
I hate it.

Life would be perfect if
sweatpants were sexy,
bra's weren't irritating,
clothes could be washed all together,
dating was casual,
you never got wedgies,
cars never broke,
hair never needed trimming,
monday mornings were fun,
waking up early wasn't so hard,
you could trade your clothes in for more than 15% bull shit percent of what you paid for them at plato's closet,
people didn't freak when you crush and snorted pills,
people didn't freak when you crush and snorted pills,
junk food didn't make you fat,
coffee didn't make you have to piss your pants in 5 minutes,
girls didnt cause drama,
weed wasn't so expensive,
you could never eat too much shrooms,
weed wasn't so expensive,
you could never eat too much shrooms,
friends never lived far,
plane tickets weren't expensive,
strangers always smiles,
boys werent confusing,
nothing was regrettable ,
garlic didn't make your breath smell so bad,
and goodbyes only meant until tomorrow...
my wish preferences.
on pink cars are good, especially old ones.
share wishbones.
pull knotted straw wrappers with friends.
and stars of course, first stars and shooting stars.
planes will do if they are the first light in the sky and look like stars.
wish in tunnels, over bridges, & railroad tracks holding your breath and lifting your feet off the ground.
wish before you scratch off lottery tickets or pull the lever at the slot machines.
wish before picking hands held behind backs for hidden surprises.
before the last second of the sun setting.
birthday candles.
baby teeth.
11:11. if i catch it that is.
backwards necklaces.
stray eyelashes.
silent prayers.
dreams.
desires.
wishes are the most wonderful when they finally come true.
i've GOT to keep wishing.
it's bound to come true sooner or later.
saved this.
" It took me let's see...almost 4 hours today, to stop acting liek a bitch.
We all know stress is obnoxious and unhealthy...not to mention realllllly fucking annoying. I kinda forgot though that it is always a *choice*

So anyways, its 7:48 and my nutz is hangin'
SKINNNY where you at@?!?! :p lol
[inside of me...MURDER Mix] fucking sick song p.s. and french is sexy

Tiesto in like a month with the3 crew [trouble ;)]
Ummm what else, Tasha is a hottie (someone tell her that :P)
and I just looked into the sun's eyes...he says what up.
BE REAL, focus not on the external and have lots and lots of unprotected sex with as many attractive people as you possibly can...it gets you closer to god or whatever you call that. and "Bitch, stay off that blow!!!"
;)

"One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance I took my nephew to disneyland but instead I drove him to a burnt down building. I said "oh no it looks like disneyland burnt down" he cried but deep down i think he thought it was a good joke."
pulled over.
"After the events of last night Im bruised.
Emotionally.
Crazy people act like this.
Maybe I've finally driven myself mad.
Screaming out every bit of frustration inside my body, and I still don't think it's sunk in yet.
Brains can do funny things.
I'm at a loss for everything. My body has been running on auto pilot. Only now it's trying to run double time, to cover a double life. Nothing is okay about that. A girl should be accepted for who she is 150 percent, if you're "in it for the long haul" that is.
I can't pretend that these things don't bother me. I wont pretend that these things are not a huge part of me. Call it what you want. Childish, immature, stupid, lame...etc. 20 years old means I have a lot of ground to cover, faces to see, places to go, beers to consume, and mistakes to be made. End of story. I will not change who I am to suit anyone else.
I may be a drunk at times, but I have a good god damn time.
Momma, remember when I said you'd be there to help me pick up the pieces. I think it's time. Ily."

new.
sj- have you ever met someone that you know is going to be important?
aj- how do you know they will be important?
sj- im not sure.
aj- from who you had before them.
sj- what if you never want to remember the one before him?
aj- you can't really know where you're going untill you know where you've been.
it is what it is.
