I don't know why but I feel like an apathetic shit today. Like the way I used to feel.
I keep trying to forget about the way that I used to be and I wonder if that's a good thing or not. I went over and looked at some of my old stuff on FictionPress. Maybe I should just accept it and move on and stop trying to hide the fact that I was a whiny little bitch.
I went back and looked over my old blog. And what crap it was. And how much my life sucked back then. It was all of 4 months. May through august. Four months of what I thought was great but looking back on it I was just so wrapped up in the world of wanna be teen angst that I sucked at life.
I can say all those kids who say that they want to die should because I used to be one of them. I went back and reread my old blog. I had to stop. Because I realized that I sounded like just another idiot who's madly in love with some idiot who they're never going to get, and wanting to kill myself over it, with a friend who kept dragging me down further and furhter and further.
Russ tried to get me to talk to her again, but I won't. Because I refuse to let my life go down that same path that it did. It's three years old, it's not applicable anymore, I've changed a lot since then. For the better. I've become more sure of myself, more self confident, every bit as arrogant but now I'm not a whiny arrogant, now I'm more of a "fuck you, if you don't like me deal." not "I'm better than you are love me please? Please won't you love me? I don't need your love, I'm too good for your love, but you should love me."
But I'm not that person anymore. You ask me what my deepest fear is? Becoming that person again. Becoming what I was, allowing myself to get dragged into the whole "it's cool to be goth and want to cut yourself and cry in your room all alone and paint your face white, your nails black and act as weird as you can making people shun you because people suck."
No, now I just am who I am. I don't try to be anything. Sure, am I scared as fuck in social situations of looking like an idiot, yeah, but I try to forget about that. Get me drunk or stoned and I'm the life of the party. Give me some benzos and I'm fine. I need them, I think. I seriously think I have social anxiety disorder. I get so freaked in public. But that requires me going to a shrink. Which means me revealing the whole sordid past.
It's why I want to change my name, if they ever get wind of what I used to be, any career I have would be ruined. Knowing them they'd prolly dig out TC too to go "oh, she was such a pathetic kid." I saw him the other day, I never realized how ugly he was. He is. He's ugly. He's got Miguel's nose but none of his charm. He just doesn't have it.
Bill, now Bill has IT. He walks in and your eyes snap to him. You sense him before you see him and when he walks your eyes just follow him of their own regard. He commands the space that he's in. But he's like a dad to me, almost. Rich is more like that, I don't know why but I feel safe around Rich, as if I could tell him anything. Kinda funny, right? He's just this random dude who's an AHM who's old and ugly and lives god knows where, but something about him feels safe. As if I could turn to him if I needed somehting and he'd be willing to help. But yet, I wouldn't do that. I just know that I could.
Bill, not so much so. Bill is just like Sir. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Bill was into the kinky stuff. He just commands such a presence, I have expect him to come in with a riding crop. But I don't feel as safe around him. I feel safe around Rich, and around Nancy. I feel safe and at home in McCarter, the world is right for however long I'm there. I'm like the phantom of the opera, only the phantom of Mccarter, I'd live there if I could.
I'm going to intern. I have to. I just feel so at home there. It doesn't matter if I hate what I'm seeing, I still love being there. I love being in the place. It just feels like home. I feel safe there. It's why I don't want mom to usher with me. It'll break the safe feeling. I won't feel safe there anymore. I don't want to be anywhere she is. Mccarter is my escape from her. For at least three hours I'm free from her and have something else to focus on.
But all good things must come to an end. And I go home. Back to hell. Back to counting the days until I'm free. Back to waiting for each agonizing day to pass getting me one day closer to college. Getting me one day closer to freedom. Every morning I wake up and wonder if I'll have the guts to get away early, get away that day. And every day I decide that I don't.
I have 140 dollars. That's not enough. That'll last me three days. I don't care though. I spend each day wondernig if she'll finally do something to push me away for good. I wake up and wonder if today will be the day when I leave and make NYC my place of inhabitance. go up there, finish up HS, go to college, make something of myself.
Go up there, give in and become a crackwhore.
Go up there and forget about everything.
Go up there and go on a self-destructive binge that destroys me and winds up with me finallly dead in a gutter somewhere to be buried in a potter's field, unnoticed.
Go up there and one up her by making something of myself and going "I never needed you and your manipulative ways."
No one knows what it's like. I don't tell anyone because I don't want them to know, I don't want their sympathy. Sympathy sucks. I just want to be normal. But I've never had that and never will. So I just try to make things as normal as possible. It's why Helen grates on me. She's so-normal. She's all "Why do you have a TV, doesn't that take away from family time?"
What am I supposed to tell her, that "family time" consists of the two of us screaming at each other? that we can't hold a civil conversation? that the less we speak the better it is for all of us? And don't get me started on deirdre. I just want to disown myself. The only reason I wouldn't is for my inheritance. But I can live without that. I don't want to be associated with these people. I'm not supposed to be related to them.
it's just a trial. That which does not kill us makes us stronger right? I come from this horrible past so that I can make something of myself later on down the line. It's preparing me for the real world. I'm going to be big. If I can survive this, I can survive life. If I can survive everything, I can certainly survive the real world.
And I won't do it being the person I was before. That person scares me. I'm afraid of them.
There was one thing that I liked from my old one, from the person I was before. And that was a description on love.
"Love is patient, love is kind. Love is being able to give your life for someone. Love is feeling safe whenever you're around someone. Love is being insanely jealous. Love is when somone invades your every thought. Love is when you do something, and you picture them doing that exact same thing. Love is when you can picture being happy going grocery shopping, if you're going grocery shopping with him. Love is the ability to turn the mundane to the extrodinary with the mere thought of him. Love is when you see hearts all around you. Love is when with every single breath you take, you say their name. Love is lying awake on a lonely moonlit night wanting them beside you. Love is when you spend every minute thinking about them. Love is coming up with silly love songs. Love makes life worthwhile. Love is waking up each morning with a purpose. Love is everything its cracked up to be. But most of all, Love is being able to find their faults and laugh about them, because it proves that they're human, and let's face it, we're all human."
It's prettyful.
But the context it was written in. I was this idiot. An idiot. Like past Slokum in Diary of the Unrequited. I was this fucked up child. I was so...warped. I let someone else fuck up my life. I'm not that person. I'm not. Somewhere that august I changed...somewhere right around when the shit hit the fan I realized that I didn't want to be that person. That I hated that person. That that person wasn't me, it was a shell of me, a ghost of what I really was. That it was a part of me that I had allowed to take over even though I hated it.
And I've fought it off.
The only thing that remains is an affinity for older guys. I can't help it that I want a guy with a few miles on him and a story to tell. Give me Miguel over JOC any day. Eric Bana. Even Orlando Bloom to an extent. I have a thing for the rugged look.
Or the heroin chic one.
My dream guy is one who'll keep me in drugs-but neither of us are addicts. My dream guy is this older rugged guy who has it all and doesn't care, doesn't rub it in my face, is still young and energetic-just has a few miles on him and a few stories in him-he can be 22 and like that or 52 and like that.
But I don't like a bland boring pretty boy who can't count past 20 and thinks his looks will get him anywhere and everywhere, and if his looks cant his trust fund can. Give me a REAL man any day.
And I came to another realization. I've been into bondage and BDSM since I was like too small to even know what sex was. I was thinking about it and remembered fantasizing about being tied out spreadeagled, naked and raped, waiting for my prince charming to rescue me. But the rape part was the most important part. Giving myself into that pleasure where it's impossible to do anything but take it and come. That's what I want in sex.
I want a good dom. I want to model for hogtied because I want to be dominated like that. 400$ is a good deal for it. 400$ for my ultimate fantasy? Hell, I'll take the cash, I'd do it for free. Although I still find it amusing that I'm writing Sir's point of view and Deb's writing Pets, if anything you'd think the roles would be reversed and I'd be writing Pet, because I want to be in Pet's place. I fantasize about being in Pet's place with Garret flogging me and fucking me and pushing me over the edge wtih pleasure.
I need a boyfriend. I really do. But I'm stuck being the chubby plain chick who's a little out there and can't get a boy as much as I want one. I thnk that's another part of why I want to be a crackwhore, at least then I'll have sex at all. Hell, I sucked dave off on the second date because I wanted that much action. Don't tell anyone though, he creeped me out. He was to me what I was to TC. Well, not that bad, but if I had given him the chance he would have been.
I like the high school so much better than the middle school, there's no teach to be like Tim to tempt me. Haltmeier comes the closest, but h-meier's been an ass this year, he's been a little crazy and a little, well, lets just say I wouldn't be surprised if him and his wife are having marital difficulties. Or something's gone wrong in his life, aside from the realization that he's not going to make it as a musician.
But the thing that concerns me is up in the city-his pupils were like nonexistent-despite it being fairly dark in the theater, and he kept shifting aroudn all the time. I don't know if thats just me wanting him to be a druggie or if it's true. If it is, it explains a lot. I think it would definitly make for a good fic. He's becoming more and more like the character he inspired.
Harbs, well, I miss Harbs. He was a good guy.
But H-meier, he's changed. And not for the better. Although the way that I could swear he was having an affair with Randall has died down a bit...either that or they've gotten more sly about it. They're not nearly as obvious, if there even is anything going on between them.
I wnat to go into Trenton and get a hookup. But I'm afraid to as well. A little white girl in the middle of the ghetto looking for drugs. Alone. That's screaming rape me. I'll see if shawn can get me anything. I'll talk to him after math one day. Ask him if he can get anything aside from weed. See what I can spend my xmas money on. I want something great...I want something to put me into bliss for a bit.
But that requires me waiting. Maybe i'll txt louie later, Like tomorrow, see if he can get me hooked up with more.
it's funny, I read ahead in my chem book just to figure out how exactly drugs are put together. 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine is this cool complex molecule and if I can figure out what a methamphetamine radical is supposed to look like I can draw one. even just an amphetamine radical.
It's cool how chemistry has some real uses. I think I'll major in chemistry, I really like it, and minor in something to do with theater. Come back and intern in theater management in McCarter and see which I like more.
Or I can give in. Part of me just keep screaming to give in and succumb and become a strung out little ho, but I don't want to be that. Yet it's days like today when I do. When I all i want to do is get fucked up and forget about the world, forget about what a shit posistion I'm in. Forget about how much things suck for me, and stop thinking positive.
But they will. They have to. They certainly can't get any worse.
