Can You Feel It? I Can Feel It. Come On Over!

I <3 my cat TB. She rules.

I miss my saucy, red-headed roomie!

I am delicious.

I = recording engineer, most days.

I don't hate any kind of music. At all. Ever. No, seriously.

The goal of my blog: hopefully entertain you for about 2 minutes, maybe more, before you realize you have much better things to be doing (like reading someone else's blog!)

No, but seriously folks. I hope you and I can have a little heart to heart time on a regular basis, and if you need a friend I hope you come to my blog for comfort...

I like sarcasm, too. Sometimes. Don't judge me.

Some kinda life…

Breathe.  Just freakin’ breathe.  For two days I’ve had to remind myself to just inhale and exhale.  Sometimes it hurts even to do that.  Stupid stupid chest pains.  My doctor had bad news for me today.  In regards to my chest pain, she wants me to get a couple x-rays and some blood work done.  Awesome.  In regards to the reason she actually called me, I have to have a biopsy done.  I’m not going into the reason why she called me, because I’m not ready to talk about it.  So don’t ask.  If you already know it’s because I wanted you specifically to know and that’s it.  The information train stops there.

I think the hardest part about all of this is that I feel like I’ve lost all control.  It’s like a train running downhill that I just can’t seem to stop.  It just picks up speed and eventually it’s going to jump the track.  What I’m afraid of is where I’ll be when it jumps.  That scares me more than anything right now.  Where will I be when I finally lose it?  When I finally can’t hang on to my sanity anymore.

*Sigh*

Today I worked, went to the grocery store, went to BWR’s with Josh for some beers, cooked dinner and watched a movie with my family.  Mom picked up my new battery from the Apple store so now my laptop doesn’t have to be plugged in to work!  Yay!  I talked to Roni about our plans for this next week, which just HAPPEN to include disco roller skating!!!!  Yes-be jealous!

I’ve also decided I want to dye my hair.  Darker.  Oh yeah.  I’ve never gone darker and for once I’m not letting the guy I’m dating dictate how I look.  Because I’m not dating a guy!  For once!  For over the last year I’ve been with someone and it’s nice to think about what I want for myself, not what someone else wants for me.  I knew the last guy liked long hair, so I stopped cutting mine.  I knew he liked when girls did their nails and their make up so I put forth extra effort to do those things.  I’m tired of it.  I’m tired of trying to be perfect for someone else.  It’s not easy and it only adds to my stress.

I think when I’m ready to date again, maybe I’ll go for someone who’s not broken.  Someone who’s capable of letting me in.  I’ll find someone about my age who’s not a douche, who cares about more than just himself, and is capable of letting me in.

Next paycheck, I’m dying my hair.  Maybe next Friday, before I go on vacation.  That’d be pretty fun.  Dark colors.  With some auburns/coppers.  Screw going blonde.  Hell yes.

Lies.

I’m finally coming to terms with the fact that I’ve been lied to over and over again and I think that’s helping me push past my immediate feelings of hurt.  It was like, the longer I stuck around the more the truth came out.  I should have run the other direction a long time ago.  The only thing that kept me where I was was my own feelings.  I cared for him despite the lies.  I don’t know why, but I did.  Now I know better.  I’m almost glad he ended things.  He saved me from loving him, which I was on my way towards.

This was what Steph was doing when I walked into Roni’s party last night. And to think, I almost left my camera at home! Definitely one of the most hilarious photos I’ve ever taken.

I&#8217;m so glad you brought your camera!!  What do the other photos look like, hmmm??

I do not understand how I came to be so lucky, but there it is, never the less.I have some of the best friends a girl could ask for.  I needed them and they were there for me.  I have gotten support from places I did not expect to receive support from and that alone makes me feel really great.  Two days ago I was miserable.  Yesterday was rough.  Today I still feel an ache, but it’s dulling.  Last night I laughed, I did not cry.  I enjoyed myself and stopped thinking about my problems for a while.  I became a different person all together.  I do not like to wake up sad and this morning, I didn’t.  I woke up next to two of my favorite people and realized that I’m damn lucky.  Thank you Sara for telling me what I needed to hear when I needed to hear it.  Brian, thank you for being a really great friend and letting me talk your ear off about my problems.  You probably understand more than anyone how crazy I am.  Roni, you are the most amazing person ever and I always feel better when I am with you.  Adam, you have this uncanny ability to take my mind off of anything that’s bothering me and I appreciate it so very much.  Alex, you really are a good friend, despite our not seeing each much lately.  John, you always are there for me when I need you, even if we hardly ever talk anymore!!!  Stevo, I know you won’t read this but I hope you know how awesome you are.  I love knowing that I have people I can count on when I need them.

Time to meet up with Roni for lunch and get out of the studio for a while!

I feel as though I’ve been duped.  I feel like a complete idiot or moron or whatever word will interchange with those.  I feel like I’ve been lied to.  Over and over and over again.  I cannot believe I feel this way for all that bullshit.  He’d say he wanted to tell me he loved me but didn’t know if he should.  He’d say he wanted to take a road trip together, just the two of us.  He’d say I was the best thing going for him.  Then a few days later, this?  How am I supposed to understand that, nevermind accept that?  How am I just supposed to sit back and say okay like it’s no big deal?  Does he really expect me to just say okie dokie and forget everything?  Forget my heart, and my thoughts and his words?  His arms and his kiss?  What did I do?  I want solid, concrete answers.  I don’t want to forget the last five months ever happened.  I don’t want to ignore the feeling in my gut.  The shit that I just experienced is complete and utter bullshit and frankly, I deserve better.  But hey, I can’t make him treat me better, can I?  I can only move on and find someone else who will.  Someone who actually wants to.  Someone who wants me as more than a friend or fuck buddy.  I can find someone who wants to be with me because they think I’m awesome.  I should have gone running in the opposite direction a long time ago.  Instead I dismissed things.  I said, ya know what?  I’m sure he’ll come around.  He’ll see how much I care when no one else really does and he’ll recognize that.  The problem was that I just let myself care about him too much.  I opened myself up too much when I shouldn’t have because I wanted to show him that he could trust me as much as I trusted him.  I should have known that he’d turn around and hurt me.  I should have seen it coming but I didn’t.  Shame on me.  It’s my fault that I’m hurting the way I am now.  I have no one to blame but myself.  Had I not opened myself to him, had I not believed him, then I wouldn’t be where I am now.  Shit would go wrong and I’d say, ya know he’s still a good guy.  He has a good heart.  He means well, he just has bad luck.  That’s all a crock of shit.  He gets what he wants, but when things get to be more than he bargained for, he bails.  He takes off running.  He wasn’t even really willing to hear me.  Sure we talked, but he didn’t hear me.  He had decided before I ever showed up.  He took the time to take my pillow out of the case, pack it back into the plastic case it came in when I bought it and leave it by his door, so that when I came over it’d be ready and waiting for me.  He had made his decision.  Didn’t want to hurt me?  That’s bull.  Didn’t feel like had anything to offer me?  That’s also a load of crap.  He gave me happiness.  He made me feel things I hadn’t felt in a really long time.  I tried so hard to doll myself up for him.  Put on clothes I thought he’d like, do my nails, my hair, my make up.  For what?  Just to go lay in bed next to him and feel his heart beat against my cheek, or to rest his head upon my chest and run my fingers through his hair and down his body.  He told me the last thing he wanted to do was hurt me, but if that’s the case then why do I feel the way I do now?  I’m hurting.  Is he going to come save the day?  Of course not.  The last thing he wants is to inconvenience himself.  Even if that means giving up the one person in his life that’s more concerned about his happiness than their own.  What kind of bullshit is that?  I hope he misses me.  Maybe it won’t happen tomorrow or the day after, but ultimately, I hope he realizes what he’s lost. Then maybe he’ll begin to understand how I feel right this moment.

Fuck you.

I am feeling so incredibly confused.  It’s probably because I think too much.

I hate this!!  Why do I keep doing this to myself???  Only God knows, cuz I sure as hell don’t.

While I was away…

I decided that I’d be an idiot if I didn’t commit to a relationship with you. You have a good head on your shoulders and you know what you want out of life. How could I not want to be with you? I admit I was confused, but I know what I want now. I want you.

The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is to love and be loved in return.

If you just realize what I just realized,
Then we’d be perfect for each other and we’d never find another,
Just realize what I just realized,
We’d never have to wonder if we missed out on each other.

I want to feel this way.  Sometimes it feels wrong.  Sometimes I feel like that means putting too much faith in someone who might just tear your heart out.  Why does it have to be this complicated?  I just want to know that I can trust someone enough to give them my love and not worry about whether they might take it and stomp all over it.  Oh, so confused in the heart department.

Studio world is going well.  Made a couple calls this morning to get stuff set up.  That’s all going pretty well.  It’s getting a little difficult to work around my Lowe’s schedule, but I think that’s going to get a little easier soon.

Lowe’s offered me a regular part time position instead of seasonal, so that’s pretty awesome.  It’s nice having a little job security.  Especially since the pay isn’t bad, and could go up after 90 days depending on my review.  I’m not too worried about that.  Considering a lot of the managers were urging me to put in my app for a regular position, I have the feeling my review will go very well.  Not to mention the fact that an hour after I put in the app, they were offering me the position…

My migraine is almost gone.  Hopefully by the time I get to work it’ll be totally gone.  I still feel it a little bit.  I’ll be happy if it’s gone enough that I don’t feel like throwing up.  That’s good enough for me.  I can deal with it at that point.

Friday is my 23rd birthday, and I’m pretty excited.  I can’t believe how fast it’s gotten here.  Time has really been flying lately.  I guess that’s cuz I’m so busy, but damn.  I’m not sure how I’m keeping up with it, but I am, somehow.  It blows my mind to think about it.  I feel like I just turned 22.  Or 18 for that matter!  I’ve been through college!  I never really thought about what life would be like after this point in my life.  All I ever thought about was making it to this point in the first place.  But what happens once I get here, well who knows?  Life is turning into one big question mark.  Hopefully I’ll straighten that out soon.  I’ve always prided myself on having a plan for everything, but I find it’s really hard for me to decide on a plan at this point.  *sigh*  We’ll just see what happens.

A good good day…

I had a pretty good day today.  I woke up at 9, was at work by 10.  Had my lunch break at 2pm and found out that Ace is working at Subway by the Lowe’s I work at.  She gave me a free meal!  Pretty sweet.  I’m gonna have to visit her a lot more often now that I know she works so close by!  I think I’m gonna go out with her and a bunch of her friends on Friday night.

They cut my hours at work tomorrow, but Max called and wanted to schedule a session, so all in all it worked out in my favor!  I get to skip work at Lowe’s and have a recording session anyway.  I’d say win win!

I talked to the guy person dude on the phone for like, an hour and a half tonight.  It was really nice!  He told me not to think so much and I think I’ll go for that.  Hopefully it works out.  I think I can handle that.  It was cool getting to talk to him for a long time again.  Usually our phone conversations are pretty short.  Felt really good to just sit and talk to someone for a while.  I feel like I don’t get a whole lot of that kind of interaction anymore and I miss it.  It was nice to have a piece of that back.  I don’t think he and I have talked like that since the very first night we met up again.  Just talked about random stuff, a conversation so easy that it took no effort.  I didn’t even realize how long we had been talking til I hit end.

I feel really good.
