I can't sleep. I haven't really even attempted to shut these eyes. But I know that it won't happen. I can never get to sleep at a decent hour. Any time before 1 am seems to be out of the question. I don't mind sitting up at nights writing. But sometimes that can get a little old. Well not really, but there are other things I would love to be doing, like say, sleeping.Hold on! Shit, someone just tapped on my window!!!!
Okay, I just had a mini heart attack, that was not just anyone tapping on my window. That was Katie Baby. She wasn't around for feeding time, and well it's almost 3 am. And she's hungry damnit! Funny how she knows exactly where my room is, and knows just how to scare the shit out of me. Cats, and their appetites. I left her food out, something must have gotten a hold of it. I really need to make sure the neighbor stops getting into the food bowl. Such a pest.
I found an old ass photo of me at a party on Halloween, I'm pretty sure it was in 2002. That was a crazy party. That's about all I remember about it. It was at the infamous island in Bluff City or maybe it's Blountville, Tennessee. And yes it's a true island. Such a cool place to get down and party. I haven't been there in ages. It will be probably 2 years this summer. Gosh that pic was taken right after my 18th birthday and before Rachel was even pregnant. So much time has gone by, and things have changed so much. I've lost contact with Rachel. And Teneka lives in Ohio. And I have no idea what's happened with Doug or his brother James. Sad, how sometimes we don't keep up with the people we care about like we'd like too. Time just keeps moving, and we move right along with it, sometimes over looking what really matters the most. I'm not proud of everything I've done or said, but I'm glad I'm still standing here today, talking just as much bullshit. Well I don't always talk bullshit. Or maybe I do. Oh who knows. Some things never change.
A part of me, misses nights like those on the island. Another part of me thanks God that phase in my life is over. I am glad that I don't live in Bristol anymore. Getting out, was about the best choice I ever made, even though it killed me at the time. I miss my friends. I just don't want to be pulled back to such a dead end town. I feel for a lot of people that still live there. Sometimes I hear the gossip that goes around, and you hear about someone getting married or someone's had another baby. Bristol does that for a lot of people. People have this rush to get married and settle down. Are you serious? Most of these people are younger than I am. Starting a family is not even something I think about, ever. And yet some people are starting on baby number 2. I don't even consider myself to be the biggest adult, I definitely don't need a child at the moment. I have other things to worry about, like myself. Man that sounded just a bit self centered.
Anyway, I think I might try this thing they call sleep.
(Teneka I hope you don't me posting your pic!!! From right to left. Rachel, Me, Doug, Teneka, and James. I guess you can't see the coffin behind us...)








Wow, that really stung.
So is it a bad thing when someone comes up to you, and says very seriously, "Oh you're in a chipper mood today, that's weird." What? Am I really in a constant state of hate? I didn't realize that I was the resident scrooge. I didn't realize that work was supposed to make me all happy and cheerful, oops my bad. I'm sorry that I'm not the nicest of all people when I'm around, maybe it's because you like to talk shit and start more shit, and well I don't feel this big urge to give you a huge ass fake hug. Next time I'll attack you with one, and maybe I'll make you a balloon animal while I'm at it. Any requests? Would a slobbery kiss on the cheek be over doing it? I do smile, you just have to give me a good reason too. Other's are just better at it, and well you just suck I guess.
There are days when you strip yourself naked, and you see the scars of the past. Some good, some bad, and well some are just painful reminders of why life just doesn't always go your way.
So it's Valentine's Day. Whoopdifreakindo. (Is that even a word?) I swear it's a just a marketing scheme. Restaurants, Walmart, and Hallmark all get together and see how much shit they can sell. How many people do you hear say "I don't have a date...blah blah blah...I will have a date with someone by February 14th." So stupid. Why go on a date with just anyone? Especially someone you don't really even know. Why go on a date just to say that you have a date for Valentine's Day. Pointless, and shows just how weak some people are. That's just society telling you that you need a man/woman attached to you to be strong. Society should really butt out of things...don't ya think?
Friends are just the best. Friends with birthday's are even better. Friends with birthdays that have parties rock! I had fabulous time last night hanging out with some awesome friends. Meeting new people is always a plus. Before the party had even started, I had received the best card ever, and it wasn't even my birthday. So my hats off to Ann for getting me the Llama card, and making me laugh my ass off. The only thing I regret is not having sex on that exercise ball and giving back the "I am special" trucker hat. Oh well I'm a good llama and I don't steal. And if I drunk called you...I'm sorry and shouldn't be held responsible for what I did or did not say.



So yeah karma is totally a bitch and I'm now sick. I should have never climbed on whatever the hell that was, and now I'm paying for it, and so is everyone else, cause I'm quite the baby when I'm sick. My throat hurts, I'm coughing my head off. I sound like a dying llama. I took some NyQuil last night, and woah, within 20 minutes I was feeling it. I was out. That helped for a bit. Then I was up and couldn't talk for like an hour, I stayed on the couch long enough to watch one of the most boring episodes of Days of our Lives I've ever seen. And that's saying a lot.







What a day. Absolutely nothing happened, but what a day. I think being bored as totally exhausted me. Oh what am I kidding, I'm just lazy. I felt like lazing around in bed this afternoon, and was pissed when I realized that I had selfishly wasted away such a pretty day. The sun was out, and well I was waiting for the Care Bears to come busting down my door to wake my ass up. Oh well what a missed opportunity.
