mood: contemplative music: Thrice - Come All You Weary
|
I'm extremely bored. Isn't that the impetus for about 95% of journal entries nowadays, though?
My computer pretty much exploded internally on me about two weeks ago, and I recently got it fixed. The ApplePeeple saved all of my important things, like my music, art, photos, movies, etc... but I have NO applications. This means I have no means to produce music or video like I used to...
I've basically been spending all of my free time in front of my PS3 replaying Fallout 3.
Now that I've worn myself out with that, I have come down to the level of internet surveyorey, thanks in part to CJ. So here you have it, a way-too-fucking-long-and-repetitive-overdone survey:
STEP ONE: Spell your name with some of your favorite songs.

STEP SIX: Do You… – Curse: → I think curse words are fucking great. They convey emotion like none other. – Sing: → In the car, on stage, and while recording, but otherwise I'm still pretty shy about it. – Dance: → I has rhythms. – Take a shower everyday: → Eh. Used to, now it's kinda every other day... I keep forgetting. Wow that sounds bad. – Have a crush: → I have a PRESS. – Do you think you’ve been in love?: → Yuh.

Every now and then, I find myself in a pretty low spot. Right now it's pretty bad...
It's 10:00AM, and there's some random person I've never met passed out drunk in the living room, which is a total mess.. as it is over half the time. I walk out to go to the bathroom, and the whole house reeks of fresh garbage, a smell that wasn't there last night. Ender's new WiiFit game box is inexplicably in the trash, covered in what looks like cigar remnants. There are beer bottles on the floor, half eaten bowls of food on counter and tabletops, and toilet paper wads scattered about.
Today is not going very well so far.
I figured I would use this time that I have decided to spend holing myself up in my room to write a bit. There have been an awful lot of things on my mind.... for an awful long time. They're things that are hard to talk about. Things that deal with very sensitive subjects, and have to be approached and dealt with delicately, because I really don't want to give the wrong impression on any aspect of how I feel to anybody involved. Up until this point, it's stayed with me, in my head, and in my chest, like a literal weight. A physical burden that constantly reminds me it's there when I least expect it.
As everyone knows... Ender and I have been together for almost a year now. Very happily I may add. Everything is great between us. Better than great, actually. I could not ask for a better person to compliment myself and to enjoy my life with.
But, every so often, I get the feeling that I've ruined everything for her.
Since we've met, many things have changed... people have changed... relationships. Some of them good, some not so good. I've been introduced to some great people through Ender. People who I came to know and care about as friends. But these friends and relationships I feel have been put under alot of strain in the past few months. I feel a great sagging in my chest when I think about it... I feel it was because of me that this happened. Not necessarily by myself, but because of my presence. By my involvement, a chain of events happened. This chain of events led to something which I can't really explain in any way else than....
I feel that in finding me, she had to sacrifice her friends.
The thought has brought me to tears on more than one occasion. This is something that I can't avoid thinking about. It comes up every single day. But I can't for the life of me think of a way to discuss it. Mostly because of how sensitive an issue it is... for everyone. But it can't stay in the dark. It will never resolve that way.
Maybe I'm fucking crazy. I have no idea. Maybe I just want to blame myself for everything negative in her life. Maybe there aren't any hard feeling between anybody, and I'm just paranoid that I'm losing some people whom I have a great deal of respect for.
At any rate, I'm either right or wrong in feeling this way....
I just hope I'm wrong. |
