My excuses.

Ugh, hate these kind of dreams. I can't remember the whole dream but I was in line, and Justin was behind me. We were taking photos and picking them up as well. Some kind of portrait thingy. HF and him were in the front, she was wearing a white and purple, long sleeves shirt while he wore his blue plaid shirt.  I saw in the photos he picked up, they were sitting across from each other and looking at each other, smiling. Bleck. What hit me was the way he was looking at her, with such tenderness. He's obviously in love with her, because he use to look at me with those eyes. Justin said to cover up my photos since apparently I had mine in my hands while waiting in line for nothing. Wtf? Because Corey was trying to catch a glance at my photos. And that Justin was watching out for me as well, odd?

I see a lot cute things between couples and there are times when I want to forgo everything and just be able to show someone that love again but then I stop myself short. I can't do that, I can't bring upon so much harm to someone, without the intention of shielding them from future injuries. My priority can't be them, at least not at the moment with school, family, and my current financial situation. My heart isn't fully healed, I'm not sure if I even have my heart or if I've given a part to anybody yet. Third, I'm scared of going out into that area again. What if we manage to stay together for some time and end up not working out? I don't want to go through all that pain again. What if he just doesn't possess the qualities of a husband but only of a teenage boyfriend, what to do then? So complicated. 

Was so close to falling asleep last night around 11:00PM, then out of nowhere I heard a thud which made me paranoid and flipped out. Couldn't sleep for the longest time. I was like bitches better not be messing with me or else if I catch em I will fuck them up before the authorities can come and protect em from my wrath. Woke up around 6:25AM. Did not want to get out of bed at all, it was so warm and cozy! Didn't even bother putting on my work uniform, just threw on my corp. fleece jacket and called it good. Had to scrape all my windows for a good 20 minutes. So cold but the snow and ice didn't stick to the glass as much as usual. Got there 20 minutes late as well. Didn't get scolded heh. Work was the norm, noticed Nate and Meg getting closer and I feel like the third wheel, cock block. Sad face. Gave Megs my fb account to login because I have nothing to hide and I trust her which is like a big deal because I don't even trust guys I date with my information cause it's like oh poop, he's gonna get jelly because of little things or because I wrote on this dude's wall.

Christmas Twist.

Wore my owl fleece pants to school. Was too tired to try to put an effort into my appearance. Slid down my drive way. Seriously thought Serenity was joking when she said that she slid and fell, but yeah, I slipped and it took forever to get down haha. Got a lot of cramming and assignments needed before finals. Fun. Had dinner at Mio's with the girls. Got dessert at DQ. Went to OE's Christmas Twist play tonight with the girls. I was mind blown when I realized that Miko's name is actually Jasen. It's like, wth? My whole word has been a lie. They all did a great job and it was a nice play. Couldn't stop laughing when Scourge moved though because you could see the outline of his junk so well. Saw one of the girl's boobage as well since she didn't wear a bra under her dress. The girl playing as COP was pretty awesome as well. When they were moving the setting and props, she was throwing snow with the other girl, she asked me if I saw her other boob. Did I hear her right and she was playing her part as a drunk, merry spirit or am I just that perverted? Maybe I'm losing my marbles. So pooped. Heading to bed for work tomorrow.

Crybaby.

I've been a crybaby today for some reason. I just get emotional easily and worked up. Probably starting my period soon.

Not your victim anymore.

Those who hate on me because of what others speculate. I have one question, why? You have not taken the time to sit down, speak to me directly, and get to know the person you are torturing so why are you so quick to attack a stranger? You avoid me like I'm the plague, you silently agree to the rancid whispers of my name, hell you take part in targeting me. Blindly following the black sheep into the unknown. Don't lie in your college resumes, declaring yourself as bold, righteous young citizens. You are prejudice, weak minded, and pathetic. You can't think by yourself, fearful of being shunned yourself. Kicking down others and feeding on the praise of your wimpy leader. Are you his offspring? Suckling at his tits as if his milk is the essence of life. I fear for your future children, passing these sick morals onto them. You won't be raising children, you'll be multiplying monsters. You are the offspring of Cain and Able, wicked and black souls to which no amount of cleansing will whiten again.

In your eyes I am evil, I am to be hated, I am to be purged from society. I am Sin in human form. You wish to isolate me, so that I'm the awkward, anti-social girl in the room with no one besides me, to look at me with contempt and scorn with those eyes. You desire me to be unhappy, in order for your leader to be satisfied and content. 

Bad news for you. I will not be beaten down and broken. I will not wither in the abyss of hell for your pleasure. I will not allow you to destroy who I am and what I stand for. I will not be forced into a corner and die like a mouse. You can try to victimize me all you want but I will not become your victim. I will overcome your insecurities' side effects. I will fight to the end. 

Unexpected date?!?

Had the craziest dream last night. First I was in this dark cabin, or wooden enclosure for storage. There was an antique radio inside, the front door was getting fixed by this man in a flannel shirt with acid washed jeans. The male owner and I caught the dude trying to steal the radio. The dude tried to make up some lame excuse but then dashed out the door. I tried to run after him then somehow I ended up in my room except everything was dark and glum. In the doorway stood an old hag, with a filthy, white dress on and stringy, raggedy black brown hair. Her skin was pale with dirt all over her distressed skin. She had a hammer in one of her hand and that's when I guessed ah fuck, I'm asleep. So I tried to hit myself awake and lunged at the hand with the hammer and fight her off because I figured that may wake me up. I woke up, 5AM. Wtf. Fell back asleep and I was at Wal-Mart. It was pretty warm outside and everyone was in t-shirts and shorts. Saw the horseface and Corey as I was walking in. Wtf, really? Ugh. I was whatever, I didn't want to see their face. Anyways, the sore was giving out free bandannas. Woot! Stocked up on em and other things and wake up to my dad calling me on the phone. Odd dream huh?
Fuuuhhhh. I agreed to a date, without knowing it was a date. Wth. I hate it when people call it a date. Absolutely hate it, especially if it was a hang out in the beginning. Please, for the love of gawd do not call it a date - especially if we're only friends and nothing else! Heck, even when we're close friends I still don't like calling things a date because when I think of a date I think of having to dress up all nice, be all modest and polite and do lovey dovey things. Bleck! I just want to hang out like buddies, burp, crack jokes, and scratch my ass crack like any other homie. Yeeeah, I'm not very lady like. I should be like repelling dudes, not having them call me up outta nowhere and trick me into a date without knowing. Maybe he'll forget? Ehhh, time will tell. Maybe we can be chill, watch the movie and eat like homies. Crack a couple of jokes and pick up girls? Yeah, I'm lame.
Got a few tips from a female friend and it helped. Dating when I'm not completely over my ex isn't fair to the next guy but sometimes dating can be okay too - just don't take it all too serious and think he'll be the one I marry. I mean, I'm pretty much over him. I don't see or hope of getting back together. When someone mentions his name I don't get all worked up, I just don't wanna see or hear about him because it's better off that way. As long as he's not dead then that's all that matters for me. I mean, he was my first love so I figure there's gonna be a part of me that'll always care for him but how do I know when I'm completely, totally over him? Yeah, dating will help but I don't want the next dude to feel like he's in my ex's shadow because nobody deserves that.
