I can be very nerotic sometimes. Like I can't stand not knowing what my mom is doing and where she is in the house at all times. I'm always afraid that if it gets really quiet and she's not in the same room with me that I'm going to walk upstairs and find her hanging from the ceiling in her bedroom or lying motionless on the bathroom floor with a bottle of pills lying next to her. Call me crazy but it's not like she hasn't tried before and I know that sometimes she gets lonely and I'm sure she thinks about it....

I worry too much. I constantly imagine worst case scenario when it usually turns out that nothing is wrong. I also constantly think about the future. Where am I going to be 10 years down the road? Or even one for that matter. I worry especially now because in less than a month I am going to be done with college (kinda) and I dont know what I want to do with my life. I cant live at home without going crazy and I need to get a job so I cant be gallibanting around the state like I would like to visiting people here and there. So I guess right now my only choice is to pay a ridiculous amount for a single bedroom apartment and get a job somewhere in state college.

Then there is the fact that I am going to be so far away from my loved one. I can barely stand being just over the mountain from him for one day, how am I going to go weeks being hours away? What's going to happen? I fear that once again I'm going to hear the same thing. "You live too far away."

It's the most retarded excuse for a break up I've ever heard and yet it was the one that hit me the hardest. Especially after we had been through so much in so little time. I was depressed for months. There were times when I would just lock myself in my room for weeks and not eat. I would just sit and write shitty depressed poetry and listen to depressing love songs. All because I lived too far away.

I worry that I'll be too far away.

I hate how these nightmares keep coming back. They stopped for awhile, but now that I'm actually happy they've come back stronger than ever. I wake up at night, tears streaming down my face, my whole body shaking. Why me?

I feel so alone sometimes when it comes to my past. Before it wasn't that bad because I was surrounded by people who came from the same background and saw the same things I did. But now I'm in a completely different world surrounded by people who are from a completely different, and I want to say better, background. None of them have seen the things I have or been through the same stuff. They dont know what its like to have someone hold your head under water trying to kill you, or try to take advantage of you after a few drinks, or have someone promise them everything just to be lied to and dumped for home-grown pleasures.

I hate where I come from. I hate the fact that now I fear trust and love. I hate how I cant be near drugs without having a breakdown (though that's probably a good thing). I hate how I can only drink if I know I have someone there I can trust to protect me. I hate how I cant go to public pools or have someone near me when I'm swimming.

I feel like such a freak sometimes. Like such an outcast.

I cant sleep. Mainly because I feel randomly naucious and the entire left side of my body is aching.

As you can probably tell, it's about 5 in the morning and I have no idea what to do with myself. I want to sleep but if I was able to do that I would have just stayed in bill's room where I really want to be right now. But since that's not happening I've decided to perhaps get some more thoughts out into the open. So for the past 5 minutes I've been trying to think of some epiphany to put in here or at least some memory or thought that is somewhat provoking. So far I've come up with nothing.

I guess this will just have to do:

I am unmotivated. And people who are motivated irritate me for the simple fact that I wish I could be like them, I just lack the motivation.

College was probably the biggestest waste ever. As most of you probably know I have basically given up on this whole college thing. And I've already been lectured so many times about not failing out but I see it as if I do then at least I will have a very good reason not to come back in the fall.

I have never found myself interested in "furthering my education" anyways. One because I hated high school for the whole education purpose so why would I want to waste another four years of my life "furthering" it? Second, to me college seems more for people who want to be teachers, doctors, lawyers, or anything of that nature. I feel like I don't belong here with all the intellegent people who want intellectual jobs. I want to be an artist of some type that doesnt involve advanced physics and statistical whatever every damn day. Therefore, to me, college=pointless.

All that I really want is a place to live, someone who loves me, and a job that I enjoy doing. Thats it.

One more thing. There is one reason why I don't regret being forced into coming to Penn State and wasting how much money and time on nothing. I think about it and I know that if I would have gotten my way and gone to Bradley Academy or somewhere else I would never have met the one person that makes me happier than anyone. I would never have met the one person that I feel truly comfortable around. I would never have met Bill.

I get too attached to people. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, I haven't decided yet. Right now it seems more of a good thing. I love my best friend Ashley and my amazing boyfriend Bill. They make me happier than the world and I would do anything for them. And I am surrounded by other caring friends who mean the world to me. Even just sitting around doing nothing with them makes me happy.

Then again there are the people I would just like to forget, yet they linger, unwanted. Occasionally haunting me when I turn around and think I see them out of the corner of my eye. I believe the problem is that I do get too attached to people but to people that don't care about me to the same degree. Yet in my mind I like to think that they do just to end up beaten and bruised, lying in my bed, crying my eyes out to emo love songs, until I get physically sick.

Its pathetic really. Lying there for days, depressed over someone who doesn't deserve it. But it's not just something that I can stop doing. And it happens repeatedly.

I keep building myself up for the let down.

And I worry that I'm doing it again. I pray that I'm not because I am truly happy right now. True I have my moments where I sink back into depressed emo bitch mode but everyone has bad days. But for the most part I love life.

I cant wait for the weekdays and I cant wait for weekends.

One thing I would like to add to the last entry:

I know that I only met him a few times and we weren't that close, but I'm so afraid of seeing people I love end up like Zach Stuck, or Stucky as his friends called him. I'm not sure of all the details of what happened to him. I dont have a timeline depicting when what happened and who all was there. All I know is that it was a horrible horrible thing to happen to someone so young and sweet.

It seems so unconcievable to me how anyone could just let someone die, a friend at that, because you're too afraid of getting caught. I know that sometimes my sick little mind gets a hold of me and I talk about killing bastards who don't deserve to live, but if I would rather sit in a jail cell for a few years than watch a friend die from drugs I supplied him with. If there is a hell I hope justice is served and they all find their train tickets to the deepest circle of torture and decay.

While driving home tonight I thought of something else that I failed to mention earlier.

Going along with the fact that I do things just to know someone cares, I occasionally get the urge to wreck my car just to see who would visit me in the hospital. Of course I would make sure never to harm anyone else, especially friends, but on those nights by myself, I can almost picture myself letting go of the wheel and driving off the road.

I was close to injury, possibly death, once already in a car crash. And for some reason I wish I would have hit the buildings or the pole. I wish I would have ended up in an emergency room. Its kind of sick to think about and I wonder about my own sanity, but I must admit the truth and there it is. Why not just slit my wrists like everyone else? I dont like razors...

I've been thinking a lot recently about my past and the things I've done. One thing that really sticks out are the days when I let my so called friends convince me to take prescription pills to get fucked up. For the longest time I had no idea why I let myself be convinced to do something that stupid. I just kept telling myself it was for the high I got from them but that wasn't the case at all.

I have recently discovered that my abuse of prescription pills has carried over to today. Not in the same degree or anything but at times I will find myself taking too many pain killers or whatever I can find. It's not for the high either, if I wanted that I would have moved on to more potent drugs but I never did (and never will). The reason was because I wanted someone to tell me to stop. I wanted someone to realize what was going on, be concerned, and tell me to knock it off. Not for the attention, just to know that someone cared.

I guess I could have just told my family but back then, and still today, my family doesn't exactly mean that much to me. That and I didn't want to end up on the 7th floor like my mom and have everyone think I'm crazy...though that is debatable.

Today, just the thought of drugs pisses me off but if I see or know of someone doing them I feel that I have no right telling them what to do with their lives. Of course, sometimes I do mention my feelings towards them and why but I could never shove sobrioty down anyone's throat.

So the question comes up as to why I hate drugs. Possibly because I saw my mom try to commit suicide by taking a bottle of tylenol. Or it could be because several people who I cared about were caught and arrested for them. One in particular comes who mind, someone I thought I truly cared about was caught and to be quite honest those were some of the worst days of my life. I hate to admit it but its the honest truth and I ended up worrying myself to the point of physical illness, the main reason why I quit dance only 3 months before graduating. Looking back I could kick myself for ever letting someone get to me that much and dropping out of the one thing that I loved so much. But that's all in the past now.

And here I am today, still surrounded by the use and abuse of drugs, but I somehow manage. For now anyways. I can tell already that in the next couple of years I will find myself growing less and less tolerant of them but for now, since I am in college, I guess I'll just have to learn to deal.

It's funny how people know you but they dont really KNOW you. They cant just pop open your head and see everything that goes on in your mind. They have no idea about what has happened to you in the past to make you the way you are now. Sure there are the best friends, husbands, confidants that know a lot but they dont know everything. Perhaps you dont even know everything due to suppressing memories into a pit of forgetting.

I dont really know myself. Sure I'm Brittany, I'm 18, I'm from the Miff Co scene, and I like body art. I have a boyfriend Bill who I've fallen completely head over heels for and he's one of the only guys I've ever met that's not an asshole. I also remember memories like the time I was at McDonalds before dance with one of my best friends. But when we went up into the Playplace this kid started making fun of her and made her cry so I hit him and shoved him down the slide, when he came out he ran over to his mom crying. I guess I've always been protective of my friends.

Things like that give me the illusion that I know exactly who I am. But then there are times when I just sit and think that I have no idea who I really am. I constantly try to be different and unique which I guess makes people believe that I know exactly who I am. But the truth is I dont. I have no idea where I am or where I'm going.

Part 1 [Apr. 1st, 2007|03:23 am]

In the past few weeks, I have began to realize that I have this unusual habit of talking to myself, in my head of course, as if I were speaking through a monologue. I tend to think through memories and thoughts this way, as if I were a character in a movie telling everyone viewing exactly what is passing through my mind.

Why is it that people tend to wish they were movie characters? Is this why we get so caught up in things and act so overdramatic about petty conflicts? Maybe this just emphasises the fact that I am completely insane, but watching people in their normal lives reminds me of one giant audition for a low-budget cheesy movie.

What if God was the Simon Cowell of cheesy movie auditions? Just sitting on some high thone, scoffing and laughing at all the sad attempts to make it into fame and glory. That’s what everyone living life wants isn’t it, fame and glory? Some people say they don’t but let’s face facts, who would honestly turn down the chance to have their name known in homes across the country, perhaps world. Who would give up the big home in Beverly Hills with the private swimming pool next door to Oprah Winfrey? The yearning for possessions and fame dwells within everyone, no matter what b.s. they give you about wanting a simple, quiet life. The only reason they say this is because they want to be humble or they just would not want to have to deal with the complications, like pauperazzi, that follows what they truly desire.

I must be honest at this point. Possibly because my thoughts are most likely boring and pointless and, I could be wrong, but maybe by reading this you actually do want to know a little something about me. For the longest time I wanted to be an actress. Of course, I realized that dream was absurd after I realized I spoke way too fast and smushed all my words together, causing me to get less than leads in school plays, if I made it at all. I’ll admit to being jealous of friends who got larger roles, but needless to say I was perfectly happy just being on the stage with everyone.

After that dream was shot and sunk, I moved on to that of a rockstar. I occasionally admit to letting this dream pass by too, I am lying. It still lingers on as I practice pathetically with my bass guitar. But one must have dreams right?

What I was getting at, with my possibly ridiculous dreams and fantasies was the fact that what I said earlier was true. That I, just like sane people, would never pass up the opportunity at fame and whatnot. However, and you may find this ridiculous and once again pointing out the obvious fact that yes I am insane, I would be perfectly happy living in a trailer with a low income, just as long as I lived with someome I loved who loved me as well.

In my opinion, people get too caught up in material things. Sure many people have said this before me, damn them for stealing my originality, but it’s a true statement. It is rather disgusting how people constantly use other people for money and whatnot. I’ve seen it myself, in my own home, and it really made me think, and possibly had something to do with the insanity part. But it never gets anyone anywhere except into misery and occasionally debt if justice is paying attention. Perhaps this is just because I’m one of those ridiculously independent people who feels the need to be able to do everything for themselves, but I think that more people need to see things that way. Take care of yourself. Don’t rely on others to pull you out of a ditch that you dug yourself into. Now sometimes yes you do need to ask for help, that’s understandable, but don’t abuse what people offer.



*If it hasnt become obviously clear I've decided to make some things public, things I think people should know about me. Most of this has just been sitting in a Word document for awhile and, with a little updating, I have decided to post it.*
