August 31, 2002 12:20 am The chips won. damn. but they are the best damn chips i've ever eaten The chips are winning. I haven't eaten any yet, but after over 2 litres of water, I decided more wouldnt be healthy. So Jesse started making me do situps. I thought my tummy hurted before... but i was wrong,,, my tummy muscles hurt now... at least i dont want the chips anymore. well i do, but they're not worth it... i think im gonna go paint my nails soon too. that way, i cant eat them until my nails are dry at least. see the intelligence goin on over here? hehehe dude... my tummys really starting to hurt... i want the potatoe chips but i wont let myself have them... and everytime i think of getting them, i go get a glass of water instead... and i think i've had 10 so far, and im thinking about getting another one. it reminds me of ummm maybe last summer. i know its possible that if you consume too much water you'll die, i'd like to think that it was from drowning, but i know thats not really right. its prolly just ur stomach explodes or something equally as painful, and i wondered last summer how much it would take to do that, so id drink as much as i possibly could for the hell of it, testing the limits before it started to hurt. i drank a whole freaking lot lemme tell you. tonite, im up to half a gallon, which really isn't all that much, but maybe my tummy isnt very big. Yeah yeah, so my blog was full of Joss Whedon quotes and half asleep rants. You don't have to read them anymore, they're safe in my archives now... whoopee for us all... I'm currently either a redhead or a purplehead, depending on whether or not im in the sun. Inside, my hair looks red, outside, you will notice, as tory did with her "omg debby!! your hair's purple!!" that it looks dark purple. i like it. i think its really cute, but my mom disagrees. she says she just has to get used to the colour though. shes used to me having light hair... oh well... i cant wait till tory gets the pictures back from that day at her house. anohter day was spent at her house, although this time i was kinda dragged there. i still had a good time though. at 11:30, the phone rang, but i was still sleeping. my mom walked into my room a few minutes later telling me to wake up cuz i had to get my msg from tory, "its important, something might be wrong, she said you had to get your butt over there immediately!!" so i jump outta bed and grab the phone to check the msg, thinking something was wrong, and i hear it. she wanted me to come over to meet alan, who would be coming to her house at 1 o clock. the phone rang ten minutes later, and i thought it was tory, but it was ariel. just as good, considering i was just planning on telling tory shes a bum for making me get up. little does she know, i was prolly going to get up soon anyways. i was dreaming that i was at centre and yonge street with seraphina and there were bees all around me, and seraphina was laughing at me while she called a taxi for us. it was quite creepy... oh well... blah blah blah im going out soon so im shutting up now. i havta change clothes, i look horrible... Joss Whedon quote of the day- I just met this guy. I barely know him, and one would suspect that I really couldn't care less what he thinks. Yet he's still making me feel like the world's biggest whore, and somehow he's also making me feel like im ugly. What the hell. This is fucked up, and if I leave, or block him, it's still gonna be in my head. I know I'm not exactly gorgeous, but I don't like to think I'm ugly, and now this stupid guy has gone and done this. *sigh* *shrugs* I found it sooner than I thought I would... here it is... Here's my new quote of the day... there is another one coming, I just need to find it still... Quote that you all must hear. Don't thinkg about it if you don't want to, but I did. I had such a good day and you get to hear most of the details that i can beginning. And trust me, this starts at 6:30 in the morning when my sister found me sitting on my couch in the living room hugging a pillow, semi awake. Apparently, (my mommy just told me this part) she didn't know what to do with me, or what to make of me, so she got my mommy out of bed at 6:30 am to drag her to see me. They then asked me why I was awake and what I was doing there. I told them I was tired and to go away. They asked me why I was there again and I told them it was cuz my room was too hot, so they told me to go back to bed. I don't remember much after that, I don't remember actually going to my room, but I do remember lying there awake for hours after that. Then I managed to make it to Tory's house, where she and Ariel were waiting on the front porch. Blah blah blah went to go get camera blah blah blah then Wayne gets there, take some pictures, Kyle, Andrew and Josh get there blah blah blah. Now that I think about this, it's prolly not as interesting as it seems to me. The guys go swimming, me wayne and tory get thrown into the water with our clothes on, ummm we make food, tory goes crazy, i try and help tory from going crazy, video games, orgy with stuffed animals, interesting conversations.... thats about it. If you really wanna hear more, just read torys blog from today. But the point is, I had a really good day. Omg ariels friend just scared the crap outta me... goddamnit he shouldnt do that. vluivhlsiafghvuidf. telling me he has to talk to me privately about "ariels problem". ugh. and then turns out to be joking around. what? am i supposed to NOT get scared?? im sure some of you understand this. i know tory does and prolly sarah and erin too. but flsidufjauifdhlaig. hehehe now that that's outta me... Ever talk and talk to someone, and have them answer... but you just know they're not listening? Or they are listening but they just don't care? Ugh I hate when that happens. Its like they don't really care if you're talking to them or not. Just a thought... Ahhhh there's nothing like a nice hot raspberry scented bubble bath to make you feel feverish... yes, i know its strange, but its true!! It's strange, but now I smell really nice. Which is nice, because I felt all dirty and disgusting after walking around all day at the ex. It was hot out, and I kept having to pour my water all over me randomly cuz I wasn't feeling so good. Oh well, I got a spiked leather collar, I luv it, it's so cute!! In 11 hours, I have to be at Torlee's house. It started out as me, her, ariel, and andrew. Then andrew wanted to bring kyle. then tory wanted to bring wayne. then ariel wanted to bring jon. seems im the only one not bringing someone, but i dont really care. i think im too tired to care about much. random strangerish-ppl kept asking me if i was ok all day, and when i looked in the mirror i saw why. i was all pale and my eyes were red and everything. i hate the sun. see? im rambling. this is how tired i am, im just not making sense anymore and its only midnight. but i cant sleep in that room!! its so empty and im so alone in there!! its kinda strange now... i dunno, maybe its just me, but i get kinda creeped out without my stuff in there, without my normal furniture, and maybe it's jsut being alone in there... I have a strange urge to say "now make a wish and blow out the candles... fiduvcjchxlkvui8rgwrfjghzxkgyosu8figys now that i have that outta me, i think i'll be going now, no ones talkin to me anyways August 26, 2002 Midnight I have good news and I have bad news. But to get to telling you the good news, I have to start with the bad news. I was thinking about how Tory has all these "keys" to her happiness. So I decided that the key to my happiness would be Oreos. However, there was only one left. And I ate it. I ATE THE LAST OF MY HAPPINESS!! ugh. So I told Jesse this, and then realized the smart thing to do would be to figure out another key to my happiness! So I looked in the fridge (cuz my tummy was grumbly) and I saw the leftover french fries and sauce from Swiss Chalet. That was officially designated the new key to my happiness. But I, being the *smart* one I am, ate that too. I ate the last of my happiness. TWICE. But Jesse figured out a solution to this! He figured out that I should just get some more fries!! But... if I did, I'd be fat. I'd be a "happy blimp". That was the bad news. Of course, I don't want to be fat, so he decided to make me do 70 situps. Oh my god. I did a set of 20, then while I was doing my second set 5 minutes later, I noticed a spider. It was near my ceiling, the worst place for them to be because then I'm afraid it will fall on me if I try to kill it. But I got a chair anyways, and after about 5 or 10 minutes of kinda lookin at it, and getting paper towel and books to smush it and such, I killed it. And the good news is, I think I'm not so afraid of spiders anymore!! Before, i never woulda been able to do that, kill it and all. But now, if a spider is staying still, and up high, and not too big, I can deal with it being in the room.... ALIVE EVEN!! wo0t wo0t for deblee!! Pft, no seriousness, I dont know what I was thinking. But now I'm downloading a whole bunch of Robin Black songs and getting myself psyched up for his concert... its not that hard... i just hope tory's mom can give us a ride... hehehe hmmmm im so bored... apparently no one is up this late anymore... pft. wimpy ppl. so schools coming, so what? its not even 1 am yet. you cant tell me ur tired!!! geeze Time for seriousness... is it a bad thing that I'm going out with ariel? it doesnt feel bad... but i'm hurting people, and i only realized that tonite. and i didnt even kno that i was doing it. its not that im thinking im going to break up with ariel or anything, but is it wrong? ugh im so confused I forgot a few things. One was to inform anyone who cares that I would like to point out the fact that I did NOT neglect anything today!! see?? lotsa writing??? writing??? no neglecting!! The second thing was I got a watch!! But to explain this, I must tell you the story of my last two watches. The first was a just a boring purple thing with a green band that I'd had forever, since like grade 6. And then sometime last year, while at Kale's house one day, he said something that made me realize how ugly it really was, and since everything else about me seemed to be changing (music, clothes) I decided it was time to get a new watch, but keep this one in case I ever needed a spare one. So I went out and got a pretty analog one, silver with a plastic-y band with a nice saying on it. It was really cute, until the paint on the band started coming off. Then, in one of my stupid moments, I decided the best thing to do would be to try and take all the paint off the band with nail polish remover. Of course, this didnt work, and it ended up being horribly ugly, so ugly that i refused to wear it on my wrist any longer, so it was relegated to be kept in my pocket with my keys everyday. But me, being the forgetful one I am, never remember to take things out of my pockets before I put them in the laundry machine... so as it turned out, the ugly watch accidentally went into the laundry machine... AND the dryer... but it still worked!!! for about a week, then it completely died and had to be thrown out. And about two weeks before I had to throw this out, on a trip downtown with tory and wayne, i lost my OTHER ugly digital watch. So I was left watchless for a good part of the summer. So i was planning on getting one the next time I went to the mall. But then my mommy came home with one for me today, and I think it's absolutely perfect! It's all black, and whats more, its debby sized!! the band itself is quite short, but i like it that way cuz my wrists aren't very big, but other than that, its like my first one... only... not ugly...lol i lead a boring life... where is everyone??? i need someone to talk to!! or else i write alot... and its only 11:30!!!! Wo0t wo0t!!! me and tory might be going to the robin black concert!! with cheerleader!!! and we're cheerleader drugdealers!! the only thing stopping us is we need a ride back, because it will be late, and its downtown and my mom says we cant bus back cuz thats too dangerous. hopefully, tory's mom will be able to give us a ride back... I have another piece of advice for all of you. On top of not feeding your hamster coffe beans, or chugging coffee, do not, i repeat do not, try to repeirce your own ears. Not even if your mother tells you to. Not even if things are sterilized. Not even if you h ave ice. And do you know why? Because it hurts. Sure, it may not seem like it could hurt that much, but it took me about a half hour, and it hurt. Like.A.Bitch. But I suppose it may have been worth it. And I guess it could have been over a lot faster if I was brave enough to just do it quickly, instead of bit by bit. It's just like the bandaid thing. You can rip it off, or you can take it off slowly. My thoughts? Get it the hell over with, and rip it off. Heheheh that's my wisdom for the day. All I have to do is choose where Ariel and I will go tomorrow? What's so dificult to this? As far as I can see, the only limitation is to choose somewhere I like *ahem* thank you ariel ;)... but from where I am, I realized there's nowhere that I really like going. The movies are boring, the mall is full of japs and a piece of crap, I've been downtown too much, and that was never especially exciting, i HATE wonderland... and he cant come over cuz my sisters home all day. what does that leave? why don't i like going anywhere??? what's wrong with me??? why am i sitting here at nearly 3 am trying to think of somewhere to go tomorrow? with my luck, im gonna be up so late thinking about this, or trying to think, then getting bored or frustrated, then getting distracted with something such as lyrics like before. And after all that, i'm gonna wake up late tomorrow, and all we'll end up doing is going to coffee time with the bunch of people that night. not that that would be a bad thing... i mean, cuz then ariel and i could get together the day after... and my sister wouldnt be home all day or wahtever, so we could just chill at my house, cuz we all know how much i *love* going out. i wanna be a hermit. I swear, if it weren't for random ppl showing up to drag me out, like today, then i would never get out! and once i do go out, its never me who makes the decision where to go. and theres a reason for that. because i dont know where!!! tahts the problem with going out. you need to know where to go. ya know what sounds interesting? riding the subway. o.0 ya, you got a problem with that? i wanna ride the subway. back, and forth and back and forth. and then fall asleep.
I died, I had a good phone call with my grandmother today! And I learned some really interesting things. Like, my granddad was in the navy, and while he was away, of course they'd write each other letters and stuff. And she'd smuggle things in to him, like liquor and stuff, but they check packages. So she'd bake a loaf of bread, and put it in there, so he could have his little bottle of alcohol to sell to the other ppl, because he doesnt drink. I dont know why, but I find that extremely cool. And she's offered to take me on a cruise to hawaii!! And she offered to give me my daddys chichilla. Of course, my mom said no to all of this, which leads me to my theory about my mom, but that's for later, because right now I'm intent on indulging in my coffee. Coffee.is.my.god. Now that I'm not going out with Kale, and with Ariel away, I don't feel the need as much to go on the computer any more. I mean, last year, I'd go on every day all the time so that I could talk to Kale, because that was one of the only ways I could talk to him. But now, nothingness is pulling me away from the computer. For two nights, I haven't gone on. And that doesn't mean I didn't want to, I did, but still. One night I was talking to Greg. He had hoped we'd break our record, and talk till 5 am but I told him it wouldnt happen because my mom would make me get off the phone. And last night I was on room arrest. *ahem ahem* thank you amanda. She wanted to make peanut butter cookies. TO make them, would involve the smell of peanut butter going ALLL over the apartment right? But I'm allergic to peanut butter, even the smell. But of course she's Amanda, so she always manages to get her way. And even if she couldn't get me to stay in my room from 8:30 till this morning, she was planning on making them anyways and having me get sick. Ugh I cannot STAND sisters!! And then, I lost all connection to the outside world when my phone battery dyed. So I watched a movie on tv instead. "The Case of the Whitechapel Vampire" Of course you all know what attracted me to that movie... the word vampire... it was a sherlock holmes movie, but it was pretty good all the same. Dude I wanna go horseback riding! Maybe it has something to do with that fucked up dream i had but... whatever Here's a helpful hint for all you caffeine addicts out there. Do not, i repeat DO NOT! chug coffee. No matter how interesting you may think it sounds, it will burn your tongue. And then comes the caffeine buzz, and omg will you be awake and hyper for hours. It's like a caffeine drip straight into your veins, only tasty. Firstly, I wanna say sorry to Tory and Kale for not coming back last night. I fell asleep, but you probably guess that and/or knew it would happen. Secondly I would like to tell you all that for soem reason, my hair always looks good at 2 am. Why cant I have plans at 2 am when my hair looks good, rather than at 11 am when its not? And thirdly Kale, I would have had a countdown for you had you bothered to tell me what day you were getting back. Oh yeah, you told me you'd be gone for 10 days. But by my count, Sunday was the 10 day mark. And you weren't back by then. And no one seemed to know when you would be back, at least no one that i asked, and trust me I did ask. I have made up my mind. This will be a good day. I'm smiling, I'm happy, and I can't fathom a reason to be upset at the moment. Actually, I can think of lots, but today will be happy. Sure, I'll have to clean up my apartment, but I'm gonna play music and make myself look like an idiot while doing it. Hehehe, it feels good to smile... Lmao I sound like a prozac commercial. And now, time to clean. After talking with Tory and Danny and bitching in my blog, I realized I'm crazy and I feel soooooo much better now. wo0 wo0 for smiling! Mwa tory! Mwa Danny! Mwa Sarah! Mwa Erin! Mwa!! Ever have one of those days, where it starts out bad, and you try to make it better, but nothing works? That was today. And it should have been a good day. Why not? I'm goin to the mall with two people who I really like, spending the day with them. But somehow, it just didn't turn out well. I got up early, only to find out that the thing I tried to tape last night didn't work, so I got up extra extra early (in time to watch it) for nothing. So I hang around and stuff, and then I get a phone call from my friend, telling me he almost died last night. When I finally leave, I decide that getting some coffee and a croissant with make me feel better, and if nothing I could use the caffeine to wake me up. The day wasn't really bad, I just felt like the world was against me. I felt ignored and alone all day, even though i was with Tory and Sarah. They just seemed to be hitting it off so well the two of them, everything was going right for them, and I was just a third wheel that they invited as a formality. I even tested my theory. They were doing their thing in a store, and I was wandering around silently behind them, and I decided to go check something out. I told them I was going, but they didn't seem to hear me. So I left for a few minutes, went to the store across the hall. I don't htink they noticed. And then I decided to try again, and I did. And I don't think they noticed again. So was my day. And I got home after getting my needle, and just kinda felt bad, and the clothes and the note on the couch didn't make me feel any better, just another reminder of how *fun* my weekend will be living in hotel Gregory. But my day wasn't as bad as I'm making it seem, it did have good/fun parts. ANd they did noticed that I wasn't up to par and asked me if I was ok. So after that, I just hung around reading the book Tory lent me for a few more hours, until my sister and I got into a fight after dinner, and I got out the teddy bear Igor got me and hugged it and lay there and cried. I haven't done that, barely touch that stuffed dog in 18 months. My feelings of being ignored and passed over didn't go away though because a few hours later I got a phone call. From Kale! And I thought, wow, I'm special, he remembers me, he thinks enough to call me because he's in the area! Tough luck Debby, no such thing, he was just calling to ask me for Tory's number so that he can go over there and give her a present. Which led me thinking about something else, but that's another story entirely. Anyways, the point of this entry was to say this. wo0t. wo0t. happy days. oh happy days. I look down at the hand I use my mouse with and I wonder, how the fuck did this get on me, who's is it, and why the hell am i wearing it? It's one of life's greatest mysteries. As well, how long has it been there?? I really don't know what else you want me to do. I have said sorry. I even took the time to find, and put up a pretty little poem. Give me a hint, or make the next move yourself. I'm sorry if that's not enough, but I don't know what else to do. When I said before that things get misinterpreted, I was right. When I said it wasn't worth it, I wasn't talkin about this whole thing. This whole thing is tearing me apart. I so badly want it to be better, but I don't know how to stop it. Did you even read the entire entry? Or did you just see the words "its not worth it" and let the rest slip by. If you knew what I was talking about when I called them addicts words, maybe it wouldn't have hurt you and I'm sorry that they did. But those words weren't talking about anything outside of my own thoughts. Can't you see I'm trying to change? But tell me. What am I supposed to change into? Someone nicer, more considerate? Yeah, I'm trying. And fine, I should try harder, and I will. And if I didn't care, would I let this occupy my mind for the last 14 hours (how long we've been fighting). No, I wasn't exxagerating when I said I got kicked off. And I only got kicked off because my sister wanted to go to sleep. And I don't understand. How can I be a fucking narcissus if I hate how I look? Dude, I just want this to end. Yeah, alot of things have been said. And maybe they needed to be said, but it shouldn't have come out like this. And maybe this won't make any difference, but I'm sorry. I was wrong. Or I lied. It hurt me and upset me before. I let it get to me. I'm only human. Having someone mad at you, having someone hate you, letting someone down, all these things eating up inside me, leaving me empty and unsure of who I am, how I should act or what I should be. It's true. I forget things. It's also true that I have no fucking clue who the hell I am/ who I'm supposed to be. And where are you supposed to turn when you realize that you can't tell your friends close to you the things going on for fear that they'll be angry at you, or not like you for who you are or what you've done? I find myself with the tears rolling down all the time. In the shower, at the computer, on the couch, in the corner of the bathroom floor, sitting there in the dark not knowing where to turn. Life is hard. And no matter who you are or what yuor perspective is, it's hard for everyone. Everyone's got there moments when they break down and let the world know how they're really feeling. What should be taken as a gesture of kindness, is really taken as going through the motions. Feelings are hurt, relationships ruined, hearts trampled. Everyone has moments of feeling alone, like no one hears your cries for help. But everyone's got someone.You might feel like you're all alone. Yet to others, you appear to have it all. Everything. And maybe it's that... envy that kind of sets you two apart. The personality, the strength, the home life, the body, the character, the talents, the willpower to change. But to you, maybe that's not what you see. And life is going to be a cold cruel ugly place whether or not you have friends! I'm not making any sense. I don't even know what I'm saying anymore. In my head, running through it over and over the past two days has been "debby, you're an ugly little girl who no one likes". even if i know thats not true, i've still been avoiding mirrors the past two days all the same. Sitting here, running through my head "debby, you're a horrible person. you hurt other people and you don't realize it" but how am i going to avoid myself? I can't. I have to live with it, or have the power to change. I have a million more thoughts, a million more things to say, yet I'm being kicked off. August 11, 2002 9:30 pm My blog has been unduly neglected these past few days, and now I have absolutely no idea what to write. Actually I do, but I can't tell the world this. I just can't get it out of my head. Maybe these are, as tory puts it, addicts words, but still. It's just so frusterating. *breathes deeply* I won't let this get to me. I won't let any of this get to me, because it's not worth it. heh, I'm saying none of it is worth it. But am I going to take my own advice? goddamit i dont know. im going to sit here and i can calm down and think reasonably, cuz nothing good can come of this Thanks to Jackie for this marvellous marvellous picture!! I LUV U JACKIE!! MWA!!! LOOK AT SPIKE!!! HES SOOOO SEXY!!! August 7, 2002 11:30 pm Oh my god no way... I won't name names, because I "don't know this", and as far as you're concerned, this could be anyone in the world, but i just discovered that an old ex still likes me... I am slightly scared and quite weirded out at the moment... See? Today was a fairly good day! I went to a beach... in Port perry... how ironic is that? Kale leaves for vacation, and my mom hauls my sister, aunt and i up to port perry to lie around all day in front of a lake where theres a sign telling you its unsafe to swim! So I hung out there all day, had a nice sleepy car ride, indulged in some gluttonous (i learned a new word from Sarah's blog entry! cookies, and then got home. After dinner, (which was salad, i was still feeling kinda guilty about the cookies) I went swimming! And then to the sauna, and then home to be lazy. And I even made up my mind to go jogging some time tomorrow... yep, im definetly going crazy.
but i have to tell you about these cookies... they are soo good, but just looking at them you know that whatever they are, they cannot be good for you. think of rich chocolate... creamy... and soft... and warm... and omg they're soo good and i think i'll have to go get another one...*shfits eyes*... i'll be going now... i'm just ummm... going... to... errrr... swim... yeah... thats it... Befor I rant and rave about how life isn't fair, I was just thinking that I should tell you that I didn't actually have a bad day. I have a fairly good day... a lazy day, but a good one all the same. Just to let the world know that not all my days are bad... *smiles* Anyways, onto the unfairness. Life just isn't fair, but I'm sure you all know that and have experience that in some way shape or form. And I'm sure you remember how frustrated you got when there was nothing you could do to make life more fair for you. My sister gets back. And she thinks shes god. I can't stand it. She thinks that this entire household revolves around her wants and her needs. Well I've got news for her, IT DOESN'T! I decided to be nice, and tell her that her friend was online. This is the first I've been on the computer all day, I let her have it all day because she's been away. But I went on to check email, and to talk to people. I see her friend online, and tell her, and shes kicking me off and there's shit all i can do about it. And there's no more late nights for me. I don't go to bed before 1 am. And now I have to, because I have to get off the computer and go to bed when she goes to bed, because for two weeks she got kicked out of her room and gets to sleep on the couch. It makes no fucking sense. I have a bed. Yet I go to bed late, and usually sleep on the couch anyways. However, now she comes home, I have to be off the computer and in bed by the time she's in bed, and the whole everythingess seems to revolve around her! Why doesn't she just take my bed? It won't make a difference to me, I barely use it as is! But nope, she did this just to make things dificult for me. I assume all of you who are taking the time to read this are pretty close friends with me and know what I'm talking about with this whole kicked out of room thing, so I won't bother telling the world. Besides, if you don't know, there may be a reason for it. Fuck man this isn't fair! I think I forgot to tell the readers of my blog that I found my ring. Earlier this week, it was my very first time doing laundry, and I was just taking the load out of the laundry machine, to put into the dryer. So I took out all the wet clothes, and there at the bottom of the laundry machine, is my ring. It was the most bizarre thing, especially considering I lost it while I was taking a nap. But I have it back anyhow. And I know I said I was gonna go to bed... but that never works out. I mite go to bed soon, or maybe not at all. I can't decide. I know I should sleep. I know that I hurt from lack of sleep. But I just can't go to bed... I just don't want to fall asleep yet. Insecure. Last August, that is the last word I would have used to describe myself. Sure, I was never the most confident person, or the most self-assured, but insecure wouldn’t have been the word to describe me. Now, on a night a year later, it’s come up more than once, and I realized that is exactly what I am. Not only did I realize it to myself, but others realized it about me. Or maybe they knew all along, and just didn’t bring the word to my face. That doesn’t bother me, in fact, I’m glad they didn’t tell me. Because it frightens me that I can be like this. Thinking about this has sent the little giftie in me looking to the dictionary to see exactly what insecure means. I don’t remember what it said, something about apprehensiveness and something else about anxiety. I didn’t fully understand what it said, so I looked up apprehensive, and then I looked up anxiety. They both said something about being scared and unsure about an event that may happen in the future. So I turned to good old dictionary.com . It told me it meant “lacking self confidence”, or troubled. It’s after 3 o clock in the morning, and I’m tired and hurting, rambling on and on about something I’m not even sure what I’m talking about. Everything seems to hurt tonight. My muscles hurt, my head hurts, my stomach and back. Even my pride seems to have been wounded. It was just a little comment. It wasn’t supposed to mean anything, let alone upset me. He never knew it would have that effect on me. He didn’t know how mad I’d get, and he didn’t know that I’d end up crying. It was like one of those situations where a girl says shes fat, even when she knows shes not. And the person she’s saying it to is supposed to disagree with her. It’s kind of like she needs to be reassured that this person doesn’t think she’s fat. Only, this was one of those rare occasions where the person agreed with the girl, and said she was fat. This wasn’t the exact situation, but it was remarkably similar. Now using my dictionary.com definition of lacking self confidence, that would describe me tonight. I hate admitting this to the world though. Here’s my good old pride, not wanting to admit to anyone that somethings wrong. Just like tonight. I’d rather tell everyone that I’m talking on the phone, or going to the bathroom, than admit that I just can’t talk to them because I’m sitting there crying. But this one little innocent comment, and boom, everything in me spilled out. Ever had one of those nights where you just can’t take it anymore? And all your worries and fears and pains come out in the form of tears, leaving you totally drained? Well that was tonight. And I’m not sure how it turned out. Ariel finally knows what I’ve been scared of. And thankfully, he tells me I have nothing to worry about. And I found out tonight that Tory knows exactly what has been happening, how I’ve been convincing myself that he doesn’t like me. I’d told her that I was scared it would happen, and I knew she’d done this sort of thing too, but I had no idea that it was the EXACT SAME THING I was doing. What scares me though, is that Ariel thinks he’s hurting me. He’s not hurting me. But I don’t know how to tell him that it’s not actually him, it’s me doing this to myself. It’s my stupid cynical little mind telling me that the world hates me, and giving myself reasons that they should. I just can’t understand why anyone in their right mind would like me. And me, just as I am, just as Debby. As insecure as I may be. Yeah, maybe Kale’s right. Maybe I am just like a little girl. I do just need someone to be strong for me when I can’t/won’t be. But nothing is going to change that. |
