YOU'RE ACTING LIKE A LUNATIC.

My first order of business is to figger out why the tabs at the top of the page that say things like "Create a Blog" or "Sign In" or "Create a Post" are in Swedish.

My second order of business is to congratulate anybody who has read this or is reading this or ever will read this on any awards they won at the Young Authors' Conference. Good on you, folks.

My third order of business is to describe. What I am about to describe is ironic, to me. Last night, I was thinking to myself, "Wow. I think I'm totally over everything. It's been so long since I cut, or cried to myself for no reason at all, or stayed awake all night with my mouth hanging open, staring at the ceiling, feeling nothing. Or felt overwhelmed with depression. Or, you know, had any reason to think I'm bipolar. It must have just been a weird time of my life." And then my mind and body responded this afternoon, "GUESS AGAIN, MOTHERFUCKER!!!"

So. I spent three hours today crying AND I DON'T KNOW WHY. The littlest thing set me off. I was getting ready to go to the art show in the Fire Island lighthouse (which I ended up skipping, unfortunately), and I've been saying this a lot lately, but, really, I have no clothes to wear. I don't look good in anything I have. I wear the same things over and over. I've lost interest in my clothes, and recently I've really wanted to be more creative. It seems the harder I try, the less creative I am. So I was getting ready to go, I had no clothes, my hair looked TERRIBLE, Steve was in the downstairs bathroom so I couldn't get a nail clipper, Mom was in the upstairs bathroom so I could do my hair and maybe boost my self-esteem. So I started getting frusterated, a little bit.

And then I cryed. For three hours. And gave myself a migraine. And envied Donnie Darko, who had pills to control his fucked-up-ed-ness.

And Mom, of course, flipped a shit. She's like, "Tell me what's wrong. (I told her I didn't know, nothing was wrong, because I didn't, and nothing was.) Oh, it's Number Two (she numbers my moods, the fucking bitch). Number Two without any warning. You're such a lunatic. You're such a freak. If you have no idea why you're so upset, we have to go get emergency help."

Her calling me a lunatic and a freak made me feel really awesome. It helped so much. More than fucking Prozac.



Yeah. I guessed again, motherfucker.

This sucks. Again.

FUCK.

well, if it makes you feel any better, i pretty much wear the exact same thing (jeans, t-shirt, some kind of sweater, but recently a light jacket) for as long as i can remember.

I got times where I don't feel too great too. I'll just lay down in bed begging for someone to just kill me. The really pathetic thing is that deep down, I know I don't mean it, because there's something inside me that still tells me to resist. I don't know, for me, this sounds so corny, but I'm serious. Something tells me that I'm not quite finished here yet. So try to find that presence in your head that refuses to say "I give up on you."

kudos on the dancing kirby

AND WHEN YOU WAKE UP
EVERYTHIGNG IS GOING TO BE FINE
I GUARANTEE YOU WAKE IN A BETTER PLACE, IN A BETTER TIME
SO YOU'RE TIRED OF LIVING
FEEL LIKE YOU MIGHT GIVE IN
WELL DON'T, IT'S NOT YOUR TIME.

this song has saved me from more than one pitfall and in some ways, brings me back to some sweet memories.

the whole streetlight album - everything goes numb - is just a fantastic album. and on top of that, i confide in that album. i tell it all of my secrets and all of my problems. and it helps me. and it comforts me. so chances are, if i am feeling poorly, i am listening to it.

it connects to me, you know?

Patrick said...

maybe i'll upload it for everyone...

I think everyone experiences random shitty-ness. I cried during almost every shower i took in 6th and 7th grade, for some unknown reason. Your mom sounds like my mom.

Patrick said...

since when have mike's words been immortal, let alone sensible.
