no, i won't do it again
i don't want to pretend
if it can't be like before, i've got to let it end
i don't want what i was
i had a change of head
but maybe someday
yeah, maybe someday
i've got to let it go and leave it gone
just walk away, stop it going on
get too scared to jump if i wait too long
but maybe someday
i'll see you smile as you call my name
i'm nervous about school starting, but i have my britney spears back pack all ready to go!
umm.... i'm high as a kite right now so i think i'm going to go enjoy it. byeeee

ta tah for real this time!!!!
so i'm going to tell you a story....
(for the sake of my story, assume that people hook up to eat chocolate chip cookies together.) there's this couple who hooks up to see if they can make good chocolate chip cookies...and it matters only to the two who're the couple whether their chocolate chip cookies are fabulous or no cuz they're the ones who're going to eat the chocolate chip cookies! (these ain't the kind of chocolate chip cookies you're going to share with granny!) ...so the two hook up and talk about ingredients and measurements and they check out each other's cookie sheets and they decide they'd like to talk more about the cookie-making process and maybe actually bake chocolate chip cookies together at some point. ...so they get together a few times and talk before they make a batch of chocolate chip cookies. when they finally make the cookies, they're not the best cookies they've ever eaten, but they realize they're a new team and they need to work some kinks out of the recipe and eventually they'll probably make cookies they both like. during one of the cookie-making....................
i cannot continue!!!! perhaps i'll finish it some other time!!!!

people piss me off who can't talk about shit. communication's all we got holding us together. and i'm still on this find-a-man kick! (or wanting-to-find-a-man kick. how about find-THE-man-kick??) what the hell's that about? it's about me hating my boring, fucking, shitty life like hell! school starts in a week, and i'm thinking that i may decide not to go and just move the fuck away from here and start a new life. ...but then i'll eventually become bummed out because i still don't have that motherfucking degree! i bore the hell out of myself! that's a big problem. i don't do anything with this fucking energy, and i can't stand to be around people who are like me, so i just sit here, dying. (boo hoo, asshole!) life is FUCKING PAINFUL! i want to do spur-of-the-moment stuff like i've never done before. what the fuck's up with all this safe shit? jule and i could have been in goddamned new orleans last week instead of fucking savannah. (it was my third time!) nothing's safe, so i do as many safe things as possible, even though it goes against my nature.
how many chances do you give people? you can't rule someone out just because first impressions are bad. (i still love.) i feel so fucking old these days when everyone else my age has a fabulous career and a house and a spouse and at least one brat! (so you stop comparing yourself to every goddamned one else!?) who hates the word "fag"? too motherfucking bad!!!
LIQUID DIAMONDS. last week as jule and i were driving, driving, driving, jule became delirious from being tired. we were listening to tori. "liquid diamonds" was on. i was like saying "liquid diamonds" while tori was singing it, and jule began to guffaw. i was so ready to punch the bitch! we sooo got on each other's nerves being together all that fucking time.
you're bored! i'm outtie.
(oh! one more thing! ...i've been having thoughts of marianne quite a lot lately!!!!!!!!!)
Saturday, August 18, 2001
i'm such a fucking hottie! i have a great personality. i have, like, good ethics and morals and stuff.... i'm very spiritual. where's the love of my life!?
here's what jule did in savannah: 1 2 3. do you see what i see?
here's a pic of jule and i coming back from the beach after we made the ocean bigger on our last nite there! >:-D she's not trying to lick me, i swear! also, i'm not a drag queen...it's the angle of the camera. (i'm talking about the eyebrows, freak!)
a pic of jule pimpin'!
a pic of me down on river street!
and finally, here's a cute pic of jule putting change in the meter before we went to the bayou cafe!

baker baker baking a cake
make me a day
make me whole again
and i wonder
what's in a day
what's in your cake this time
i guess you heard he's gone to LA
he says that behind my eyes i'm hiding
and he tells me i pushed him away
that my heart's been hard to find
there must be something here
there must be something here
baker baker can you explain if truly his heart was made of icing
and i wonder how mine could taste
maybe we could change his mind
i know you're late for your next parade
you came to make sure that i'm not running
well i ran from him in all kinds of ways
guess it was his turn this time
time thought i'd made friends with time
thought we'd be flying
maybe not this time
baker baker baking a cake
make me a day
make me whole again
and i wonder if he's okay
if you see him, say hi
"baker, baker" by who else?
someone else to catch this drift
and what i wouldn't give to meet a kindred"
-from "all i really want" by alanis morissette
i don't like sex with strangers, and i don't quite understand why the hell everyfuckingone gets off on it! i've done it and that's how i know i don't like it. what's so wrong with working on a fucking relationship? yeah, it's hard, but you get plenty in return. it's an investment, methinks.
i've tasted what i thought was the potential for something long-lasting and good, so now i'm just wanting it all the more! i feel like my body is fucking craving something it's missing...and it's not easy to find! you see people taking those sweet, innocent moments for granted and i want to be one of those people! i want us to go grocery shopping on friday night after work, and i want to go home afterwards, fix dinner, clean up, watch television, and go to bed. there's something about the safety and the comfort of a stable home life!!! and why the fuck do i feel so motherfucking guilty for saying i want this?

This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult--once we truly understand and accept it--then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.
from The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck, M.D.
i now know where crack heads and addicts come from, and i didn't learn it from my mum who was supposed to have given me the secrets to this fucking existence upon the shit hitting the phan. yesterday was stressful as fuck and it is i who brought it upon myself. i'm thinking i got to find stuff to do (for myself) in the very near future. hopefully it'll involve sex because i'm in desperate need of some really hot, messy, pig sex! it's been all of two days since the last round.
anywho.... last night i went to the liquorama and bought a liter of coke and a bottle of rum. then i headed to campus where i filled my thermos-cup-thing 3/4 full of rum and the rest with coke and headed off on a binge. i sat on the steps near the library and drank and drank and drank and wrote in my journal and became more and more and more angry.
i have some real wishes for myself!

tonight i've been thinking about the path i'm going to pursue once i get that long-awaited degree in december. i've been thinking all along about going to graduate school to get my master's in education, but now i'm truly questioning whether or not that's a road i want to see through. seriously. i'm the kind of guy who HAS to do what i want to do. i'm not good at following, and i don't necessarily want to change that. i want to help other folks. my degree's going to be an english degree. i've thought about working on my master's in english and possibly teaching at a small college, but i think i might have the same thing going on that i would have teaching at a public school -- to a lesser degree, of course. i can see myself becoming a therapist. psychology's my minor. i wonder how easy it would be to get into a gradute program in psychology when psychology's been a minor only? maybe i SHOULD just DECIDE to find out? end of story!
i love the smell of play dough. my mom gave me some a few days ago, and the container's on my desk. i always open it and play with it and smell it. it smells like it would taste good. but it's really salty! what's the first thing i sculpted? a dick, of course!
lol. i remember watching an episode of oprah a long time ago, and she was saying that the things we hate in others is always something we hate in ourselves. i heard it, but i wasn't so sure that it was true until i experienced it for myself! judgemental people are crap in my eyes. none of us has any right to "decide" what's good or bad or right or wrong for anybody else! ...and if we'd spend less time judging other folks and more time working on our own problems, the world would be so fucking much better! of course you know that i can be a judgemental fuck! here goes: it bothers me when i see people who don't make the best use of their time! for example, i used to pass this house every night on my way home from work. i decided a lot about the people who lived inside without ever having talked to them or anyone who knows them. their house is a single-wide mobile home on a lot that's about as big as the trailer itself. their cars are old and not great. but it seems that they take pride in what they have. they have some landscaping going on. they decorated nicely for the holidays. their lawn is well-kept. i think it's a (hetero) couple which lives there, and i think they're raising their grandson. the grandson's probably like 3 or 4 years old. i always felt so sad seeing them working on their little yard...mowing their 6 square feet of lawn. it seemed so very pointless to me. i wanted to ask them what it's all for! i mentioned this to my therapist during one of my sessions, and he came back and asked me if i could see myself in them. was i feeling sorry for them so i wouldn't have to feel sorry for my own pointless existence? the more i thought about it, the more that i knew i WAS feeling sorry for the couple so i wouldn't have to face how i felt about my own shitty life! maybe if i'd been focusing more on myself and less on everybody else, i would have noticed how i felt about myself and i would have changed things much earlier. so...i think oprah made a very valid point!
it's interesting to see the world through the eyes of somebody else. last night rob and i were talking about the different ways we think about things. he was saying that if it doesn't concern him, he doesn't think about it. and i thought how selfish!!! but i think i can appreciate what he's saying. he's probably making better use of his time than i. why worry about all the injustice in the world if i ain't going to do a damned thing about it!?!? i could certainly use more time to focus on myself and on the relationships i want to develop.
me, me, me!!! i NEED to focus more on myself and on the relationships i have going on. you guys are VERY important to me!!!

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If nature allowed us to go through our lives without any obstacles, we would be crippled. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. We could never fly!

about an hour ago i was driving down 32 from athens. i don't know how many of you know that road, but it has very little traffic this late at night! anyway.... i'm cruising along and up ahead there's a huge white thing in the middle of the road. as i get closer, it fucking gets up and walks into the median. it was a fucking dog sleeping in the goddamned road! ain't that some shit? then the other morning on my way home, i noticed a dog lying beside the road (in the grass). his head was on his paws and he looked sooo very sad. there was a sign by him, but i didn't really notice what the sign said.... evil thoughts just started running through my mind. i just knew that someone had tied the dog beside the road and left a sign that, like, said, "free dog" or some shit. and i just knew that it was a hoax. i just knew that some serial killer was in the bushes waiting for me to stop to save the dog. (have you seen THE CELL??)
i miss marcy a lot. i haven't seen her since i left that place i used to work! i sent her an email tonite. hopefully she can get off her knees long enough to respond. j/k! marcy's an excellent, good girl who would never do anything nasty like getting on her knees.
moses (my cat) is very fucking important to me! sometimes i feel like i couldn't love him more if i had given birth to him. i know that's probably really hard for 99% of you to understand. (sarah does, though!) i remember thinking about the conversation i was going to have with jule if she and i ever got a place together. i was going to explain to her how important it was that no one do anything that would scare him at all and she had to be very sure that he didn't run out the door and stuff.... one of you might understand where this is coming from. i would give a thorough beating to anyone who hurt my baby!
the best gift i have EVER received is a gift i received from sarah. it was two christmases ago. it was this book that she put together. it had pictures that she had taken of me and of us and she included a poem and captions. that's the best: someone showing you that you are important to them and that you mean a lot. you can say something 'til you're blue in the face, but showing it is what makes it so. thanks again, sarah. i love you!
i'm still grateful that i don't work in the clusterfuck in which i used to work. yup! she's one of the most insecure fucking bitches i've ever come across. she manipulates everything at work just to make herself feel like the queen of the world!! she's not worthy of your trust.
i'm learning so much about myself from working on this relationship with rob. you're all going to have to meet him soon. he's great.

today i met with my advisor. she told me all about the class we're going to do together. i ordered the text book tonight. she gave me all the assignments i need to complete. she told me that i could go ahead and do them, and she and i'd have to meet just a couple times to talk about stuff. the class is literary criticism. i'm so fucking proud of myself! this shit's coming true!
remember our new year's resolutions two years ago, marcy? i think i've done all mine this year! go me. girl's working on hers too! go us.
something. i don't know how well i can put this into words, but i'll try. rob and i went to see scary movie II last night. as we walked out of the mall into the muggy, night air, i noticed that i felt very at peace. comfortable was the thought that we were going to get into the car together and drive through the night all the way back to his place. we listened to some music. we talked a little, but mostly we were silent. i held his hand. i feel good when i'm with him! there was just something awesome about the black night being wrapped around us. we were alone together. so many things can be heard when we don't use our voices!

(for moi)
no one's picking up the phone
guess it's me and me
and this little masochist
she's ready to confess
all the things that i never thought
that she could feel and
hey jupiter
nothings been the same
so are you gay
are you blue
thought we both could use a friend
to run to
and i thought you'd see with me
you wouldn't have to be something new
sometimes i breathe you in
and i know you know
and sometimes you take a swim
found your writing on my wall
if myhearts soaking wet
boy your boots can leave a mess
hey jupiter
nothings been the same
so are you gay
are you blue
thought we both could use a friend
to run to
and i thought i wouldn't have to keep
with you
hiding
thought i knew myself so well
all the dolls i had
took my leather off the shelf
your apocalypse was fab
for a girl who couldn't choose between
the shower or the bath
and i thought i wouldn't have to be
with you
a magazine
no one's picking up the phone
guess it's clear he's gone
and this little masochist
is lifting up her dress
guess i thought i could never feel
the things i feel
hey jupiter

i talked to sarah online today. we miced. she was watching days. i was listening to tori. we spoke of tammy and raina. ::giggle:: i haven't talked to marcy in a really long time. i'm going to have to call her or some shit but she does always have company. my cat, lauralee, is asleep on the couch. everyone, including MJ, says that she has a wee head. speaking of adam...there used to be this guy named adam with whom i worked. he was hott (and a closet case). cucumbers are good for purposes amany. white people who think they're black. wtf! sometimes i worry that i think too much is psychological. er something like that. i'm so not even going back to read that. i have the right. the right to say when and if anyone finds out or does not find out what is happening to my body. and i expect you to honor that right. yumm... boys with dark hair. i don't like that word: "boy" i'm not a boy and i don't expect to date anyone who's really a boy. date? that's not what i always do. but I HOPE all that shit's changed. (i really like HIM!) trent reznor makes me moist! i want to live in a town where you can get away with murder. do you realize how fucking many married men there are out there who like to get it on with other men!?!?!? your dad may be one of those peeps! (one of you who's a faithful reader has a dad who once fucked me!) pepsi cola with bourbon! (OMG!!!!! i fucking miss him. i cannot wait until today is over..............................we promised not to contact each other today because we've been spending too much time together!) i love to see two girls together! why's it sad when peeps die? i mean.... when i die, celebrate my life! tom cruise has a new girlfriend??? wtf!!! he's so motherfucking gay! jule.
i'm aware what the rules are but you know that i will run you know that i will follow you over silbury hill through the solar field you know that i will follow you
and if i find you will you still remember playing at trains or does this little blue ball just fade away over silbury hill through the solar field you know that i will follow you i'm aware what the rules are but you know that i will run, you know that i will follow you
these tears i've cried i've cried 1,000 oceans and if it seems i'm floating in the darkness well i can't believe that i would keep you from flying so i will cry 1,000 oceans more if that's what it takes to sail you home sail you home sail you home

getting off while they're all downstairs singing prayers
sing away
he's in my pumpkin p.j.'s
lay your book on my chest
feel the word
feel the word

feel it
i could have
i should have
i could have flown
you know i could have

aaron, thanks for the well-wishes. you've definitely played a good part in getting me ready to move on (in more areas than one). i sincerely wish the best for you!

inhale
the blinded eyes that see
the chaos
bring the pitiful to me
even though i'm wide-awake, i will
and blackest night and i wait for you
it's cold in here there's no one left
and i wait for you
and nothing stops it from happening
and i knew i'd cherish all my misery alone
and i wait staring at the northern star
i'm afraid it won't lead me anywhere
he's so cold he will ruin the world tonight
all the angels kneel into the northern lights
kneel into the frozen lights
and they paid, i cry and cry for you
ghosts that haunt you with their sorrow
i cried cause you were doomed
praying to the wound that swallows
all that's cold and cruel
can you see the trees, charity and gratitude
they run to the pines
it's black in here blot out the sun
and run to the pines
our misery runs wild and free
and i knew the fire and the ashes of his grace
and i wait staring at the northern star
im afraid it wont lead you very far
he's so cold he will win the world tonight
all the angels kneel ino the frozen lights
feel their hearts they're cold and white
and i want you
and blessed are the broken
and i beg you
no loneliness no misery is worth you
oh tear his heart out cold as ice it's mine
and i wait praying to the northern star
i'm afraid it won't lead you anywhere
he's so cold raining on the world tonight
all the angels kneeling to the northern lights
and i pray begging to the norther star
i'm afraid it won't lead you anywhere
he's so cold he will rule the world tonight
all the angels kneeling to the northern lights
kneeling to the frozen lights
feel their hearts they're cold as ice

anyway...the html is as messy as fuck and the "design" is quite elementary, and i apologize for that. if you can't get over it, fuck you!
tuesday's my last day at my current job and i'm thinking that maybe it's a good place to start making some changes. i want to consider some changes on the outside as well as on the inside. independence day is tuesday, so there's another something that can mark the beginning of some personal changes!!! i want a new look. i'm ready just to try shit. i'm thinking of maybe buzzing my hair and dying it. i've just got to try something else.
inside changes.... i know they all aren't going to come at once and i don't expect all this shit to happen at once. just having the goals is a place to start, don't you think??? yeah!! i want to be healthier physically and spiritually and intellectually. i want to try vegetarianism. i was really close once upon a time. and i want to make sure i'm having enough physical activity and i want to maybe try yoga. and i want to read more!!!!!
maybe all this will help the inside and the outside become more alike. it would be okay if i liked it the way it is, but i don't like it that way. no more closets!!!!
