must i always be waiting...

Current mood: annoyed

"must i always be waiting, waiting for you, must i always be playing, playing your fool" ...

anyways i am a fool to think my teacher might show up for the final uhg! so i came to school at 10 instead of 1 when my other final is and the lady isn't there! we don't even have a test we just have to pick up our papers, on WEDNESDAY from 1 to 5 well i am busy wednesday so she is going to keep my god-danged-fangled paper! i don't even care!!! ok that's a lie i do care but not enough to track my happy ass back up here (i mean i have a final at 10 and then i have to get home to get keys from my grandma and i aint comin back to school) i suppose i could turn my books in for a little moola but i can do that today... *sigh* make my life harder why don't ya ya freaking git.

on an upside Narnia was GREAT, wonderful and super! i loved it, i thought i would i think jens was suprised that i enjoyed it, it is totally nerdy so it's right up my alley. also mooner joined us so that was great, we didn't get a lot of time to talk though. she had to skat right after the movie (i understand cuz i'm always busy too) and also i can't get a word in when i'm with both her and jens... i swear if it's anyone but me he's a freaking chatter box, he acts like he never gets to go out into public lol.

i have to work tonight and guess what, jens better do those freaking dishes. see they have been sitting there (well some of them have, the others piled up after that and i refuse to do them again) because jens was supposed to have done those at thanksgiving, when he ditched me and didn't come home all night after i spent 3 hours cooking dinner. he better do them, i keep telling him he won't go out until he does them but he does it anyway... well i will make sure he does them, he has a night off and he just saw he-who-must-not-be-named last night so he won't go into withdrawl. *gross*

anyway, we are going to see king kong tomorrow (should be great) so let me know if anyone wants to come with us!

i work on sunday, which is too bad, i wanted to come to the last show and help with strike, it will be the first play jens has done strike without me for forever, gosh we've always helped, even with shows we weren't in... since junior year actually, the uninvited! lol. back when i was a theatre groupie and just came to all practices and the shows! i just joined up too late to be casted or crewed hehe.

blah blah blah i am wasting time until emily calls so we can study together... for astronomy (which we have at 1) fun fun, i am getting an A in there, so if i don't biff the final i should be set. i am getting A's in humanities and biology and my best guess for lit is also an A. psychology i could care less but probably a B, he is an ass and erm.... what else am i taking? i think that's it! yayness, almost straight A's for mandy!

i bought bridget jones the other day... it's sooo good!

here's my week in a nutshell, today and tomorrow are finals, thursday i am hanging out with davey (my friend whom i havn't seen in like a year), sami's coming into town on friday and we are getting wasted =) and i don't work until saturday night and then again sunday, monday and prolly more next week cuz i don't have school.

i am still going insane but i am at least happier and more optimistic about it, i am going to be seeing a lot of my friends over break, jb is coming home so that means spending some time with her and fandi and i am going up to see sami next weekend, and have to drag jensie along cuz i can't drive it myself... and poor emily can't go.

anyway i should begin the studying... yeah no fun but necessary...

<3 mandy

::blink:: no sleepy

Current mood: awake

well i went to the play by myself because everyone was busy but it was fun, i sat next to osty's parents and i got to see janelle and chad (yayness) and i even got a tour of the booth so i could reminice about when i was a techie. *tear* i want to do theatre soon, but not uni theatre, it is icky poo! i wish i were still in high school and we still had slink and mom and i wish that everything would be back the way it was, the way i loved it. once i had a family and it was east high theatre. people loved me and i was a big part of a huge successful show-- i don't know. i like the playhouse but something is unsettling. i won't compete for friendship or love and respect. i just won't do it, i know it will be difficult with my constant feelings of inadiquacy (did i spell that even close to right?) oh well. i will talk about this more in depth later, for now i must venture off to my lit exam ::bore:: ::yawn:: i got maybe 2 hours of sleep last night and i work third shift tonight!!! gah-ness!

update

Current mood: drained

finals are soon approaching and i may be dead to all for the next week and a half. if you would like to hang out let me know! i am free after the wednesday of finals week... that would be... i'm not sure but by the 17th i know for sure... anyway i am up for doing pretty much anything, movies, mall, killing spree, you name it... but no freaking thing to do with the snow, my house, car, school and work have been a big igloo for days now! (though i think the heater finally kicking in in the house.. woo whoo) our car is broken lol, who didn't see that coming! you can survive until spring Krudler! oh well. i guess my life is just a random assortment of good and bad, mostly bad recently but shifting to a middle ground and hopefully soon to mostly good! i am going to see the play, jens is going to give me his invitational dress ticket so hopefully mooner will score one... ::wink wink:: osty! that would be cool, i want to go with someone i know. it will be the first play i've actually went to go see in a long time... i think the last was buddy holly, which was a great show. as long as jens remembers to turn the lights on the show should be fine! i have to go to work now... bah coffee and cigarettes... great movie btw, you should see it, i now own it, mainly because of the sexy jack white from the white stripes... woot!

the truth

Current mood: blah

i guess i am feeling better finally, after about a week or so of being depressed everyday. i got mad at everything... i talked to jens though and i just want people to understand my feelings. i shouldn't be excluded because i am going through tough times, i thought that was when people should love you the most. emily really has helped me get through the last couple of days, though even that is hard because of her relationship with you-know-who. its hard trying to make friends and get your life back together when you dont feel as it people care.

i know there are people who care and i know that i dont always act like i want to be friendly but i do. i need for people to reach out to me a little too, i am trying but am not very good at it. jens has made a mistake. he thinks that it is ok for him to completely keep me away from his boyfriend, which would work was it not for us having mutual friends who always go out with him rather than me. this is unfair and i am shocked jens thought that was what i wanted or needed. i hate paul but do i have a reason not to? no none at all, he is dating my ex-fiance, he is taking up time i should have, he is bogarting my friends and now even making me apprehenvie about going back to the playhouse, how many of them will chose him over me? i mean do i have any reason to like him or try to be friends with him at all? no, he has never shown any interest in trying to make things easier on me. he is reaping all the benefits of my suffering and he can't even be man enough to apologize for puting me through all that hell. im sorry i dont think it would kill him to open up to me and attempt to make amends for everything that has happened, i can not always be the scapegoat... if he wants things to go smoother with him and jens then i need to get a little respect and understanding. thats all there is to it. if he doesnt want to try and fix this mess they have both caused then i guess he will have to wait a year until i move out to be rid of me, i guess that goes for jens as well.

yay lethargic, what a great emoticon!

Current mood: lethargic

yeah so i entered this contest in the paper about winning free tickets to hp on thurs night... so yeah i hope someone can go with me cuz i have to go to waverly and i have no idea where that is.. .i mean the theatre... oh who knows i may not win and have to shell out the money anyway... might be cheaper just to pay for that rather than gas lol. i am dragging jens on friday or saturday... not sure which yet. i might go to both since sami is coming to town... i don't know which one she wants to go to. i should make her drag her happy ass down here for thursday lol. that would be hillarious. is the waverly theatre nice?if its crappy i might just forget about it.. and spend the extra to see it in cf.

oh i got an A on my bio and psych tests last week, nearly an A for astro... about as close as anyone gets to an A lol, and yeah fairly sure i scored high on humanities but havn't gotten that one back yet. i will let ya know. i have a lit test on mon and then i should be done until finals week.... yayness!!

anyone talk to me... im lonesome lol. jensie and i are hanging out today... sound fun... we watched school of rock this morning hehe. i am having a great time being friends with him i think once all of this settles and i eventually stop hating horse-face things should be good. not that i will like him.... he hasn't earned that yet, he still doesn't care if what he does hurts me so why should i care about him? i shouldn't.

he better not ruin this next weekend since the book and wonka was a disaster i just want to be free of thinking about all that for one freaking weekend.

no one else has shown interest in wanting to go with me to potter except sami and thane, lol harry potter in the flesh!

bah i am almost out of time on this crummy computer hehe.

untitled

Current mood: energetic

i hate that you have to put a subject line in there, it usually deters people from reading my blogs as my subjects are always snappy and right to the point (there's no reason reading a blog that says "i hate the world" because you know i hate the world, the world is a bastard lol)

ok just a little bit of random musings... ah, random.

i am sitting behind jens in the library... stalking him as usual, lol. he's on myspace too, that dork.

oh well school is almost over for another week, i have a psych test tomorrow and i work but then sat is all mine to be lazy... after i finish my work for lit. all this is boring and i don't mean to bore you.

WE BUILT THIS CITY ON ROCK... AND... ROLL.

ha now it's in your head too, see ya later bitches!

 

 

[09 Nov 2005 | Wednesday]

 

woot!

Current mood: dorky

in a nutshell. 4 tests, an overdraw, an ebay addiction and a very long walk all over campus... that was my week or so.

yeah no more about boring mediocracy, i don't know if i spelled that right but yes, potter my dears ITS COMING THE PRECIOUS IS COMING. sweeettnesss!!!

saw another trailor and bought a few... ok like FOUR magazines, rupert is hott and i am obsessed. i am in the process of reading book 4 eventhough i am very busy it is good, i long to read 6 again soon. but yeah.

anyone interested in going... it's the 18th... osty you better be there i am counting on you to make me not look so bad, oh what the hell i don't even care. everything in my life sucks but it's freaking potter!!!!

 

 

[02 Nov 2005 | Wednesday]

 

my feelings

i am tired. mostly from school i suppose. i had a long day even if i did sleep in and miss psychology.

i am so excited for harry potter to come out. that is the only thing keeping me going. i want to go at midnight if they have a showing even if i have to drag sami down from iowa city. i will settle for a show that friday... actually i will prolly end up going to both. i saw a new scan of rupert grint and he looks so hott, and he is only 17... not quite legal yet, but soon =) yay!

on a crappier note. i hate almost everyone i know right now. oh and fyi my mom is a retard, got drunk on her psych and anxiety meds and got carted off to the hospital last night. she is in detox now and may need to go to iowa city for treatment. to be honest this is better than i would have guessed, i though i would find her laying face down in her apartment after a few days of her not coming to bother me for money or a ride but this is much better. she better get her act together now, she is going to kill herself if she keeps going on like she is, she is 41 years old and is already afraid of having a heart attack and is also a chronic liar (not unlike some people i know) and always fakes pain so when she is really hurt (like in her car accident) they don't believe her, i don't even believe her. but i'm not going to waste my time worrying about her because she can't act like an adult. not to sound cold, i am worried but i just have so much more important things to think about right now.

something has to be done and i don't know if i am strong enough to do it. i am not going to let people walk all over me anymore. i can't do it, for my own sanity i need to stand up for what i need and deserve. i hope all the people who are hurting me now are utterly miserable and alone in the long run so i can laugh and experience the sweet victory of knowing plainly- i am better than them. and they know who they are. you can't open a pandora's box and expect everything to fly right back in, you opened a door or rage, embarrassment and a feeling of complete hatred. you can't wish the will of the strong and fucked-over away.

i will prevail over the evils that have infiltrated my life. i always have. jens you can either be my best friend or you can send me out of your life, but don't tell me one thing and another something else. you need to get your stuff together before you can start to heal, if people don't understand that then they need to get the hell out. same goes for me, i am doing what i need to survive at this point in time, let's hope the healing doesn't involve violence, for either or all parties. there comes a point where i must say i cannot merely survive, as i am and i have, i must flourish because i am an amazing creature. through devastation i learn patience and acceptance and through deception i learn to be weary of any man who claims to love you. if i have learned anything from all of this it is that i will never again show my whole, true, honest self to anyone because i can trust no one.

the only people i consider my un-questioned friends are currently sami, kate, the hc girls, jen, andy, and a few random people (none of whom i share too deeply with) and as far as i see it everyone else has betrayed me in one small way or another.

if you are my un-questioned friend i ask you to be honest to me and for my own good. i don't need fake friends, and for all of you who were only my friend because i was jens' girlfriend, you can go snuff it- i don't need PITY FRIENDS.

same goes for you jens. love me because of all the things we have been through and all the things we've done together. not because you are guilty for what you did to me.

this blog was basically me having a go at my craziness, feel free to read it, hate it, agree or disagree with it. i don't apologize for any of it because these are my feelings.

p-a-r-t-y and work at 10am!!!

Current mood: amused

thats the only way to do it, i am going to a halloween party with sami, and for a while jensie because evil WORK dang you hardees!!! oh well he should have a little time to have fun before he goes to burger hell. oh well i am just glad one person i wanted will be there, and hey we are gunna see who gets sexy chad first lol. she can have emily's cousin mike and i will take chad *wink* alright. he is so weird and randomly crazy, he once totally sang a song called "can't find the clitoris" and i loved it. i fell in love with him at the concert his band played at reverb like a year ago... they had a song called oatmeal cream pie lol. he is really my type but sadly i don't think i am his. this is ok. i realized that a lot of people are interested in me, i just don't have interest in them... let's see if i can name a few, from work... brent and billy and aj a little, maybe not anymore. and then there is thane who is fun to hang out with but i dated him once and i'm starting to think that's enough, plus he is still in high school and does't have a car... not that that really bothers me but i don't want to hinder any of his plans and i talked to him about maybe moving to iowa city and he wasn't very happy so i don't think it would be good to date him when i am thinking of moving in a year. then there is robert... who does work with me but i don't think he likes me, he likes to try and grope me lol. did i spell that right? i don't know i just am not interesting, it is flattering but all of these guys... i think there are a few more than that actually (how sad how people pity me lol) none of them are like confident or overly showing affection to me. i really want to be swept off my feet and have someone who i toatally adore, not someone who i grow to love, like jens. i mean jens and i were only friends when we started dating, i didn't even like him like that until a couple of weeks into our relationship... the first time after that party at my house when he forgot something and had to come back in. i was laying in bed and then i opened my eyes and there he was... looking at me, i kissed him... we had kissed before (in truth or dare eariler that night lol) but at that moment i knew i was in love with him. i need to feel that connection again or else i am not putting myself through more dating hell. so yeah. i need to feel the chemistry!

speaking of i have like 3 tests next week lol. i better go... i have to pick up sami and i told her i would take her out for lunch... ::grumble grumble:: i am sooo hungry!

everyone have a HAPPEE HALLOWEEN!

 

 

[28 Oct 2005 | Friday]

 

ooooo hollow-weenie

Current mood: bouncy

grr people keep ditching me lol. stupid hardees says jens has to work sat too bad thats the day hes been planning to go to emily's party for weeks and even took it off. i know why though, they are pissed about him taking wed off (he wanted to go clubbing) and then he didn't want to so we sat at home and now we prolly wont both be able to go to the halloween party. i guess its not too bad but i don't know if sami is coming for sure... i mean i know a lot of people will be there and emily's party's are always really fun but i dunno... i wanted someone there i knew like kind of well. oh well screw you world you won't take me down.

i work tonight and will unleash hell on any drunk rude person who walks through that door!! hell yeah.

i'm tired... lol

old poetry

Current mood: accomplished

 

What is it to feel the pane

Retrace the veins of a raindrop on a window;

remain at the pane in much distain --

softly remember the rainbow at the end.

 

 

Letter

Enveloped in an envelope going out to you

hoping to catch you just before the afternoon

I wish for you to sip your tea

and think of me

as you lick the spoon.

My corners bent I am imperfect

but you take me anyway.

Putting me on your shelf

holding me ever-so-close-to-your-heart.

So close that when I breathe you in

I melt from the inside

like the butter on your knife.

To me a taste of your lips

is the sweetest nectar of life

I take you in, all that I can

until I'm overfull.

Your scent, your taste, your very soul

makes me full, again and again.

Notice my careful script; read between my lines

to find what I really mean.

To you I've left my heart unfolded.

 

 

Unwind

Staring off the edge of a precipice

wound in worry of a promise gone spoiled,

never expecting an ending like this,

lingering and longing to be untied from these binds.

What is the trouble

of this devastated mind

take a drink

take a bit to unwind

Hanging off the edge of a bedpost

wounds weighing on my dropping head,

never expected this to work,

wishing, once I could have escaped myself.

What isn't the trouble

of this disease?

Take a drink as I slip the noose

no time to think.

Hanging here in my room

on a lazy afternoon.

Takes nothing more to unwind.

 

 

Pretend, Pretend

Where have all my friends gone?

What have I done wrong?

I was trying to be strong,

I've been weak for so long.

I fell into my own trap,

I can hear you all laugh,

what I've learned is just that,

to be yourself -- is suicide,

because something in you has to die.

Pretend -- Pretend,

to keep your friends.

Or, live your honest life, Alone.

 

 

I Never Was

When I look back

at this life I've lived,

I think that it might be true,

the only single lovely thing

I ever had -- was you.

Hold this breaking heart,

sometimes it's just too difficult to carry on.

Maybe it's too late for me

to be a good person;

Why try to save what doesn’t exist.

Why try to bring back what was never there.

Sometimes I wish I never was.

Anything.

 

 

Chill

Chill --

I can see my breath in the air.

The frost clings, as death holds on forever.

Never letting me go.

Nighttime is peaceful enough, I will not wake up --

and I do not care.

It is cold, I can feel the blood rushing in my veins begin to freeze

And the terrible rhythmic beating of my heart starts to slow then cease.

Evil-wrought iron bars -- keep me in your arms,

my ever lonely prince of death.

So long it has been since I first transgressed upon your eternal rest.

It feels dead, every numbing moment

I spend in your hands.

A grain of sand -- disappears from this timely hourglass,

I have trudged through deserts thus far,

I go onward, endlessly, with no fear, knowing many more will come.

I cannot escape your grip -- it holds me to you, so close, we touch.

We travel oceans, upon your ghost ship-- lonely days followed by lonely nights crawl by.

Just he and I, from sunset to sunrise -- thinking, remembering remorsefully,

--how I died.

 

 

Summer Autumn & Winter, Almost 1 Year

I look into a mirror and fall through,

emptiness.

there is coolness in my expression and darkness behind my eyes...

like the time in the driveway

you shook me

Tell me you won't,

promise,

I still wanna be your friend -- or the time on the phone

you told me you didn't love me...

did you lie?

are you lying now?

pillow soaked in tears or blood

reaching above for something to hold.

Am I going to die?

I feel it running through me!!

shame!

resentment!

devastation!

revelation!

pain!

guilt!

broken and used!!!

I trusted your hands not to crush my heart

but you've ripped it into pieces like the journals that I found.

why are you hiding?

where does the mask end and skin begin?

is it all an act again?

like the time you said you'd stop lying,

the time you promised just because I was crying.

what if all my fears within begin to resurface yet again,

what if he comes back?

and catches your eye?

how am I supposed to let go...

when you won't look at me and give me a Straight answer.

tell me, please I need to know,

will you leave again?

are you really happy?

 

 

Cast Away

Like a flower dying slowly,

like a drying river that is still flowing,

I hold on,

hold on for dear life,

as this world brings to me pain and strife,

what is to become of my dreams,

I am going to leave with out anything it seems,

and in the midst of staring eyes,

I take a final breath as my dreams are cast away.

 

let me know what you think of any or all of them. remember i wrote most of these in high school, the most recent one is still about a year ago. maybe i will post some recent ones if i ever write em'.
