Undone

the story of me is a long and confusing one.

I freely admit that. It’s at least a novel, and it wouldn’t make much sense. Well– unless you wear tinfoil hats worried that the aliens will steal your brainwaves, but i’m getting off the subject here.

Which is how screwed up I am. Now, I’m not beat on or anything (at least not that I can remember….) and while traumatic things have happened to me, I can honestly and fully say, I have not had it SO bad in life. The thing is, not what happens to you, but how you handle it. I don’t know if i’ve mentioned that before in here, but that’s the key to life. Not how you act so much to how you react. This guy I was listening to said it this way:

“Through your life you may run into some real bastards and they’ll take you for a ride, but all of that doesn’t matter. What matters is not how they act, but how you react.”

and that’s totally true. *nods* I may not have had the short end of the stick and I can greatfully say that I have never been raped in my life, or physically abused by my loved ones. While other types of abuse have been practiced on me (mainly by the general unloving public) I never understood it’s not how bad of a life you’ve had, it’s what you’ve done with the experience.

That’s the key to how screwed up I am. I pickled my crap. Yes I freely admit (once again) I have pickled crap. I took everything that ever bothered me and I stuffed into a jar and let it set until it hurt so much. Blah. this had a point.

The thing is– this will hand you the laugh of your life– all goes back to this guy I like. Not the same I guy I ranted forever about. He’s a doll, and a wonderful guy, and he’ll make a wonderful husband to some very lucky girl. I guess I finally accepted it wasn’t me. *shrugs* I may have a thick skull, but I’ve seen thicker.

I haven’t liked him forever, just since I met him. It was like, take your breath away charisma. *sighs* hard to describe. It’s like– in my Big Fat Greek Wedding when the guy says that his life was dull before he met Toula. I wouldn’t go so far as that…. *blinks*

It’s an extreme statement. I do not negate it. Basically, he makes me excited about living and doing things, and writing, and makes me want to talk, not just listen. So vibrant and alive– funny and sensitive, and very very friendly.

I openly admit that I was very light headed the first time I met him. Still when I talk to him, it’s like some kind of out of body experience.

and I sound like some fan girl drooling over the latest boy band. *gags*

and yet– it seems like something special, in a very real way. Almost– magical.

I know i say this a lot but…. I’m tired

Yeah, I know you know. But I have a lot on my plate right now, and You’re lucky I’m not screaming.

Not that you could hear.

Blah. I have the front cover of the LIT MAG (Buy it lest I murder you) as well as making at LEAST 100 As Seen On TV tifs, editing a picture my brother drew, my regular class responsibilities, a job, and two AP tests, A chemistry test, and 15 assignments I have to turn in. I haven’t done my Video for my power point presentation because no video editing software seems to like me– at all. I have five more pages of my personal literary magazine to write, and no title that seems to fit it at all. I know I’m a whiner, but you would have NO idea the stress I’m under.

Really.

I need some Maalox.

Finally.

After days and days of waiting to put an entry in here… I finally get to place an entry, so I better make it a doozy.

Right then.

I finally got to watch the Episode of Buffy called Lies My Parents Told Me and I happened to love it! Just like I thought I would…. I finally found out the name of the song that triggers Spike… *sighs* I am so happy, and I am currently downloading every copy of it I can find (by various singers)

Early One morning

Early one morning,

Just as the sun was rising,

I heard a maid sing,

In the valley below.

O, don’t deceive me,

O, never leave me,

How could you use

A poor maiden so?

Remember the vows,

That you made to your Mary,

Remember the bower,

Where you vowed to be true,

O, don’t deceive me,

O, never leave me,

How could you use

A poor maiden so?

Thus sang the poor maiden,

Her sorrows bewailing,

Thus sang the poor maid,

In the valley below.

O, don’t deceive me,

O, never leave me,

How could you use

A poor maiden so?

I LOVE it. Just because … because it’s useless trivia, and …. It sounds nice.

It’s haunting. Really. I think you’d have to hear it yourself to understand quite what i mean…

What else is really exciting?

Hm– Well despite my best intentions– I have done NO homework all weekend. Besides the fact that i’m fairly sure that Microsoft is the devil. I can’t even properly down– uhh… throw down.. their …. programs… right.

No– I feel that Microsoft charges TOO much for their HELL SPAWN (other wise known as Software), I mean $100 for a program like power point? What are my possibilities here? Um….

1- Do my work at school, where the computers suck and the mice are screwed up, and I can’t get on the internet, because half of the websites I go to that AREN’T porn come up saying they are. I mean c’mon. I’m not even allowed to do a fetching Google search.

2-Buy the software. Swallow my pride, chuck my money down the drain, because this one MASSIVE project is the only time I’m going to use it.

3- Pirate it. Simple, quick, free, and Microsoft will never taste any of my sweet sweet virgin money. Down with Microsoft!!

I know. I’m evil. I”m pretty sure I”m supporting communism… but you wanna know what? Bill Gates is making a good deal off of my school. I”m just going to pirate it for two weeks, then it’s delete-issamo. I don’t want it on my computer for ever!

Raspberries.

Flame me with Pirate-hate.

That’s me.

Annoying, frustrating, and always a problem causer. That’s me. Because everytime I decide it’s time to look up some college stuff, they want to know about the tax information. Which means I have to ask my dad, which means he has to part from his beloved television (If he could, I’m sure he’d marry it.) and look his tax info up on the computer.

Not to mention the government requires you to know everything and more than likely as i get closer to the end– I’ll find i need to give some kind of urine sample. GARG! Yes, dammit, I said Garg, and I meant it. Because– I’m tired of little mr. whiney pitching a damn fit everytime I ask for something. He loves that tv more than me, and i know it.

Why else would he spend every waking moment in front of it?

Oh, this is only the beginning of the mother loving saga we call the weekend. Whoever said it was right, “When It Rains, it pours.”

My friend told me on saturday that she may be sick. I don’t mean *Cough cough* oh I’m sick, kind of sick, I mean hospital pallid face, can’t keep down jello because of the meds they have you on, kind of sick. I’m scared. She’s one of the few things I have left. Sure, sometimes I don’t agree with what she says, but she’s all I have as far as friends go. She’s great, and wonderful– and I couldn’t bear to think of life without her– not only for me, but for the rest of the universe. I’m pretty sure– if she died…

God. Why did I say that?

She’s not going to.I can’t let her. She’s…

something beyond all of the words I have, because everything that springs to mind is too trite for our friendship. She’s — the only reason I’m not insane.

and now– on the opposite endof the scale– my dad, the king of pouters. Who currently can’t find out how much money he’s worth. Damn FAFSA. I hope you die. *Kicks the Government*

Monkey Blarney.

Days later– Hmph. Diary land has been having problems. It is SO inconvenient….. Dang, did I even spell taht right?

I don’t know. But I figure Diaryland is free, and I guess I can deal with the server being down for a while. 🙂
