I’m just gonna wing it. Monday, Nov 9 2009 

I have so much shit running through my head.

I just had the most interesting of nights. I won’t say exactly what happened, but it was something I’ve never done before and I’m not proud of myself. I don’t regret it by any means, what-so-ever, I just feel super different and I’m not sure how to take it. Things have been changing so much lately, I don’t even know what to do with myself. Its changing me and I’m super scared about it. What happened tonight would have never happened if it weren’t for everything I’ve been going through and it only confuses me more. It makes for the worst situation in the world when the person involved in tonight’s shananigans just happens to be a good friend of one of the following people listed below.

I’ve been on my own since I was seventeen and I was with him the whole time. He’s all I knew. Now, I’m back with my parents, in the town I absolutely hate and I’m alone. It makes me feel better knowing I don’t HAVE to be here, I chose to be, but still. It just sucks. I hate seeing everything I own crammed into one small room knowing I use to be on my own. These use to be in MY home, not my mom’s. The only thing I saw for my future and wanted for my future isn’t there anymore. What the fuck do I do, now? I don’t want to start all the way back over. It scares me. I don’t have a plan in the world.

“Leading a life that is finally free of these endless nights and countless fights that turn us into who we hate to be. And this is so difficult for the both of us. I know we tried so hard, there’s just no hope for us. Well, its more than a shame that we lost to this game. All of my walking, talking, sleeping, breathing…nothing will ever be the same.”

One of my closest friends just admitted to me that he wants to be with me and always has. He said there’s always been something between us and I know he’s right, but I’m terrified of that, too. Last time this kinda/sorta happened, I pretended to like his brother so nothing would happen between us. Then we didn’t talk for over a year. We start talking again and a week later, this happens. He doesn’t hug me like he use to and he doesn’t look at me like he use to. I know he loves me and that scares the shit out of me, because I love him, too.

He always comes running back and I’m always here for it and he always seems to come back in a timely manner and at the best of times, but the worst of times, too. Almost five years, now, and he still loves me. This makes everything harder. He says he’ll change, but he’s said this before. He reminds me of my dad and that terrifies me. Its been nineteen years and I’ve never forgiven my dad. If I can’t forgive the person who gave me life, how can I forgive anyone else who did the same thing? He says it was my fault, too, but it wasn’t. He said I was trying to change him, but I wasn’t. I never once said those words. I said to calm down, don’t do it so much, this isn’t ok. And he’s still the same after all these years. He’s got a lot to prove. It doesn’t matter, I’d still do anything for him.

“How does it feel to know you’re everything I need. The butterflies in my stomach, they could bring me to my knees.

I’d do anything for people I love and I don’t think that’s a good quality. It makes people feel like what they’re doing or what they’ve done is ok, because I can’t stand my fucking ground. I’m just terrified of hurting people. I don’t want anything with anyone, right now or for awhile, and people keep coming at me. What’s funny is that some of these people are the people who, for the past couple of years, have told me I just need to take time for myself and make myself happy and figure myself out…but now here they are. I’m trying to take their advice, for once, and they’re making it impossible.

Now, point A comes back into the picture. I’ve never just liked someone without having feelings right away. Its a completely different feeling and I can’t say I hate it, but people get jealous. No one knows. It was so good.

“The streets are dark,  my pulse is flatlined as I’m running to you. You sit completely unaware about what I’m about to do. The air is thick with tension, much like when we’re together.”

And him. Oh him. Here we go again. I fall for it every time. I even tell him this time that I didn’t want this to be the only thing keeping us talking and he did it anyways. I don’t know the full story or what is going on, but he’s ignoring me again. Classic. From past experiences, what else am I supposed to think. But I’ll fall for it every time, still.

“You do something to me that I can’t explain. So, would I be out of line if I said…”I miss you.”

I have to get up early.

So Much For Holiday Spirit Thursday, Jan 15 2009 

I haven’t posted in a very…very long time. But, I also moved and no longer have internet anymore, so get off my back :) haha.

Anyways…

So Much For Holiday Spirit

In a small city, small enough to where most people know everyone else, but not big enough to have a trolley or a decent taxi system, you’d expect a little more. Let me tell you about my unfortunate events that led up to this particular blog.

Week one. I’m getting ready to leave work, Sarah and I are walking out to the parking lot, like any other day, getting ready to take her home, we get in the car…and no luck starting it. So, we take the first step of getting it started, opened the hood, and saw that my battery was completely covered in acid. My mom, being the clever woman she is, grabbed a can of coke, and poured it on the acid (and to think people actually drink that!). Still didn’t start…so we jump it. We trot down to Les Schwabb and end up having to get a new battery.

Week two, my car breaks down right in front of my client’s house. We try and try and try to get it going, but no such luck. I still don’t know exactly what happened here, but its fixed, now.

Week three, car is fine again, but five minutes after I get on the freeway, my heater stops working? Keep in mind that its winter and when you’re heater isn’t on, your windows fog. So…my windows start fogging super bad and I literally have to pull over on the freeway and wait for them to defog…and drive the rest of the thirty minutes home with a window down, so they didn’t fog again. Heater and air conditioner no longer work. Still don’t.

Week four. I trot downstairs to start my car to get it warmed up before I had to leave for work. I get down there…and it just turns over and over and over, but never starts. So, I did the logical thing and called Matthew down to jump it with his car. No luck? Well, shit. Call in to work and then get my stepdad over to have a look. New fuel filter, go figure.

Week five! Oh goodness. How often is it that someone’s clutch AND transmission go out…in the same day!? What the fuck, right?

So, I was officially out of luck when it came to a car, cause the last one was one thing I definitely couldn’t get fixed. Unless you have about $1000 laying around you’d like to lend me? Didn’t think so. So, the next two weeks were spent finding rides everywhere and sharing Matthew’s car. Keep in mind that we both have two jobs, two of which each of us has to drive thirty minutes to. So a) getting rides…during the winter…isn’t exactly anyone’s cup of tea and b) sharing a car with that much driving takes a shit ton of gas and back and forth action.

Oh, what’s that grandpa? You’ve had an extra car laying around this whole time that I could have been using? Fancy that. I’ve never driven anything older than a 2000…its a 1985 Ford Tempo…oh Jesus. Well, at least its getting me from point a to point b.

So, the point of this blog. During the two weeks I had to find rides everywhere and had to share Matthew’s car…one time, absolutely no one in my phone would give me a ride…and this was the close job, that wasn’t thirty minutes away. This was also the day of the first snow storm of the season. So…like, five inches on the ground and it was still coming down? I walked my happy ass TWO HOURS to work. Its a fifteen minute drive and I was walking…in the snow. Ugh.

So, about holiday spirit? During my tour hour walk, no one person offered me a ride. Not that I would have taken a ride from some random person anyways, but still. Its supposed to be Christmas, so where’s the spirit? I would have at least offered. Not one person. None.

I think Christmas spirit is a joke.

Every Promise You Made Monday, Oct 27 2008 

was just another mistake with me. Now, I can barely breathe.

Its amazing how fast things can change.

“I May Be Going Broke Sunday, Oct 26 2008 

but I’m never broken down.

I think one of my top five favourite things in the world is when Matthew sings along to Less Than Jake, specifically to the song “City of Gainesville.” And he does all his little hand movements to it…

Livin’ in the three-five-twooo.

As often as he drives, we at least try to make it fun. I like it best when we rock it to ska in the car and pretend we’re playing trombones. It makes me smile.

Ooooh, and “Dave’s Shiny New Rap” by Big D and the Kids Table, I love when he sings along to that one, too. Its probably the cutest thing in the world.

I just realized that I left my favourite cap at the club last night,
which is tickin’ me right off cause I’ve had that cap since I was real real small.

Ahh, the simple things that make me love life and where I’m at.

On Again Saturday, Oct 25 2008 

Well, shit.

I think I’m beginning to come to terms with this whole ordeal.
I guess that’s better then getting upset about it every time.
Its like I almost expect it, now. I should start timing it.

One. Two. Smile. Thursday, Oct 9 2008 

I smiled a much larger smile than usual, today…twice.

#1:
The text I got at 9am, as I pulled up to work this morning. I was dreading work today and I was getting out of the car when I received the text. I wasn’t expecting it at all, but then again, he always seems to know when to text me the perfect words at the perfect time.

#2:
Those books that you’ve read, you will read again, after enough time passes. You’ll remember some names, but not how they end, after enough time passes. Your heart will break all over again, after enough time passes – and so on and so forth…and seeing his smile at the exact same time.

Maybe I’ll Sleep When I Am Dead Friday, Sep 19 2008 

If the most perfect day with the most perfect person could be shown through pictures, this would be it.

Matthew means the world to me. I have never been so in love with anyone or anything.

I Was Your Fire, Once Friday, Sep 5 2008 

A girl who will be honest with herself and make no
excuses, but it seems that girls like that do not exist
anymore.

I bet there’s at least one out there.

if you find one, let me know.

You already had one, once.

“Once lost, forever gone”. -Ernest Hemingway

I disagree.

How so?

I can’t say I haven’t lost things that I’ll never get back,
but I think its possible to get the greatest things back.
If you lost your favourite toy as a child, that may be gone
forever, but with people, I think its a completely different
story. Like me, for instance, someone may lose me as a
friend, girlfriend, whatever, but no matter what, I’d still be
there. I have a passion for caring for people and being
there, no matter what. Someone could put me through
the worst hell I’ve ever experienced, but if I cared for
them, I’d still be there anyways. So, in that sense, if
someone thought they lost me, I’m not gone forever. I
don’t think you can lose something like that forever. I
think if the passion is there, it will never go away. I guess
there’s not many people like that, though.

Well, whoever has you is lucky.

Then, I guess you’re lucky. We were never together, we may
not be now, we may not ever see each other, we may not
talk very often, but I’ll never be gone forever. If you didn’t
talk to me for years, I’d still be here when you decided to.
That’s just how I am, whether the situation was a relationship,
friendship, or whatever you would call what you and I were.
I don’t have passion for a whole lot of things, especially when
it comes to people, but when I do, its endless. Idk, that’s my
two cents.

Well, I don’t want you waiting around for me, or even
have me in the back of your mind. I’m not the kind of
guy you would want to be with. You are too good for
me, I mean it.

I’m not saying that I’m waiting to be with you, —-. I
just mean in general, I’m still here for you and still care
about you. Its not something I could ever throw away. I
don’t think I’m too good for anything or anyone.

I know what you’re saying, —-. I’m just sick of liking
someone and them liking me back, but for some reason,
they can’t take the next step. I don’t know what is wrong
with me. Is there something I do, or say? I don’t fucking
get it. All I want is to have a family and not be alone any-
more. I’m a good guy and I want to settle down and not
play any games. Girls just don’t want that these days.

I wanted that.

I know. That’s why I think I’m an idiot. I’m never able
to realize what I have until after I fuck it up.

No one said you fucked up. If you fucked up, I wouldn’t
be talking to you. But Goddamnit —-, I can’t not have
you in my heart still.

You’re sweet.

Do I get to see you the next time you come home?

Yes.

Promise?

Yes.

Say you promise.

I promise.

You know how I am with promises.

I know. No worries.

I trust you.
