Morbid Musings
So this is probably strange, but I’ve been thinking a lot about it lately. Over the summer one of my closest friends asked me how old I saw myself living until. It’s funny, but without really any thought I felt like right around 35 was about as far as I would make it. When they asked why I actually had to sit down and think about it to try to explain it to them. My answer was...

Sometimes I wonder what I did to make God hate me so much.
Things I am Not Proud Of
I am tired of bullshit to be quite frank. There are many things I have done that I am not proud of and many of them I have blocked out of my mind for years. I have recently realized I need to address these issues if I am ever going to be able to get over them so here is a list of my biggest demons. If like most of my close friends you decide I’m too fucked up to be associated with then that is...

I posted something about an hour ago and then deleted it. I am not ready for that step. Maybe someday I will be strong enough to share. I have more ideas this evening, but none are actually worthy to be fully written out so I guess I am done. G’night all.
I have recently begun telling people who are important to me how much they mean to me. I must say it is the most rewarding experience ever. There is such a reluctance to do things like this it seems and I myself have been very nervous each time I do it. I always worry what if the other person does not feel as strongly as I do. Will I just come across as weird? Will they not want to talk to me...
If you believe in me I might just want to spend some time with you again

My close friend bought me a book called “How To Be Happy, Dammit”. I really just wanted to give her a hug.

I can’t really explain why, but for reason the experience I’ve really wanted to have lately has been running through the woods. When I was little, maybe like 6 or 7, I went camping with a few of my friends. I got spooked at one point and just took off through the woods not on any path or anything. I hat cuts and scratches all over and for some reason I really remember one on my left...
I just got an e-mail confirming I can do my senior internship at Perishable Theatre. I am souped. Mondays just got so much better.

Dear Stomach,
I know I was a bit of a tool to you a few years back, but isn’t it time to forgive and forget? You of course are correct, I should not have treated you so poorly, yet I don’t see why you think it’s ok to choose a week every couple of months to not let me digest anything. How is that beneficial to you anyways? I am really tired of this happening. More than...

Words cannot accurately express how I’ve been feeling the past couple days. I’m strangely ok with that.

Well, that’s the only way I can describe my life anymore, or rather how I feel towards it. Its funny, the way it doesn’t feel like I’m living it anymore. If I just keep pretending it’s some quirky indie movie, and I am the offbeat teen girl who needs something as simple as a boy, then its easier, and everything becomes a joke. I can almost hear the laugh tracks as someone says...
Dot: Yes, George, run to your work. Hide behind your painting. I have come to tell you I am leaving because I thought you might care to know. Foolish of me, because you care about nothing.
Georges Seurat: I care about many things.
Dot: Things, not people.
Georges Seurat: People too. I cannot divide my feelings up as neatly as you, and I am not hiding behind my canvas, I am living in it!
Dot: What you care for is yourself.
Georges Seurat: I care for this painting. You will be in this painting.
Dot: I am something you can use.
Georges Seurat: I had thought you understood...
Dot: It's because I understand that I left, that I am leaving.
Georges Seurat: Well, there's nothing I can say, is there?
Dot: Yes, George, there is! You could tell me not to go. Say it to me. Tell me not to go. Tell me that you're hurt, tell me you're relieved... tell me that you're bored, anything, but don't assume I know. Tell me what you feel.
Georges Seurat: What I feel? You know exactly how I feel. Why do you insist you must hear the words when you know I cannot give you words? Not the ones you need...
