Take Me There

Last night I wrote an email to D.  I did my best to lay everything out clear and honest.  I came home today just before 10 and opened my inbox. I’m writing this at 12:08am and all I have accomplished is reading the briefing subject line.

Even those few words make him the shit.  I’m gonna have my heart broken, but still be mush because it’s him.  I needed to tell someone about this, but I have told no one.  This is something I am doing on my own.  I might be able to update following how the read is.

We’re also watching Kick-Ass right now, so we’ll see…Is this the time to finally let go?

EDIT

It’s 1:15am and I am not dying at all. It only took 3 hours. But I did it. All by myself.

Paths in Life

Tonight has been definitely interesting.  Well first off, I picked up a job with my mom, working 10 hours a day. Not a big deal; it’s tiring, but it pays.  Tonight is the Pretty Little Liars new episode.  Amanda missed it so she and I were gonna chat and watch it together 🙂

I decided to watch it at Jenn’s, and every time I drive there, I’m always thinking- I wonder if I’ll see James. He lives there ish too. I log on, watch the show. First IM goes to Amanda pre-sir. BAM. IM from James. 1 Minute later (literal minute), Dave IMs me. [ 20 minutes later is Dwy, but thats not huge ].  Wow. Of all the things, all the nights.  I got the usual from James, but it was a little more honest in the sense that he really just wanted a quickie.

I haven’t talked to Dave in nearly a month.  Since the incident, I tried to detach myself from him and not get so bummed out.  I know that I was way into it before, but I didn’t want it to keep hurting.  But every time I think I’m doing ok, just before the 2 week mark, he sends me some message/picture out of nowhere.  Nothing is really said. Then the same thing happens again.  That again was last night.  Today though, I kept trying to chat during work and he’s busy too, so it was a few texts over the entire day (up until he signed on).

We chatted. It was crazy though. Like, brief, but it was still something.  I went to the diner with the kids after the show and I was texting him.  He’s still a sweetheart.  Example: there was a coffee spill incident. I asked him if he fixes burns. His reply? With Kisses. C’mon.  I pulled a Family Guy line and said, “I should be there, not here” and he said, “Agreed.”  Dude. I would have.

I know he’s still on OKC. I have to deal. But I also want to think he’s too busy to be starting anything.  I told him that getting the pics out of nowhere feels like I’m not the intended recipient.  He said it was intentional.  Maybe there’s still something there.  I had this shpiel thought out, but I couldn’t even bring it up tonight.  We did establish that I’ve seen him more when he’s 6 hours away vs. when he’s about 25 miles. That’s not logical, but maybe we’re just busy people now.  When I was at work, I asked him if I’d ever get to see him, and I think I fell again when he said, “I’m trying.

I believe.

I don’t know where I’m going. Maybe I should take my own words: Be true to yourself and things will fall into place.  I only know so much, and I think I need to take that chance, because hurt is inevitable, might as well make it worthwhile.

Absolution

I’m sitting here in my house in Philly. I’ve been feeling so alone and just freaking depressed lately. I know its not really a good thing, but there’s a lot going on right now. Not to be super dumpy, but sometimes it seems like the world is coming to an end.

I have no plans. I have no people. I’m sort of trying to spend some of my time out here to think, and get some of my own things done.  I have a few distractions that I need to work on.

Dave. He makes me stupid. He’s legit one of the best things to happen to me, but I realize, he deserves better. We met on OKC, and when he went off to school, he turned it off.  I got one of my emails about the people in my quiver the other day, and for fun, I decided to type in his username. Active. He’s definitely back. He’s also chatting up some new girls. That’s great- both sarcastically and legitimately.  We’re all looking for that someone, but I just wanted that someone to be him. I’ve always had the feeling that he wasn’t on the same page- and this sort of confirms it for me.

This makes no statement about friendship- not at all. He’s absolutely wonderful. I’m just getting the feeling that it’s time to move on (maybe should have seen it a while ago; maybe I shouldn’t get so attached).  He’s looking for something else…I wish him the best.

There are various other things that are happening that just have me so overwhelmed right now.  I accept full responsibility, but I wish things could be different. Things are changing and I need to grow up.

Lenny will be down this evening. I have a movie date with Kelsey later (she’s studying for her summer class); this is a process for getting back to life. I’ve disconnected.

It’s not that I keep hanging on- I’m never letting go

Almost There

I have taken one lab practical and written two papers. I have one paper left and one exam. I have less than two weeks left here on this island, and I’m not sure how I feel about it. London is an exciting city, and I’m sure it is even better once school is not involved. There is so much I want to do yet, but I’m also ready to go home.

I’m not in the mood to write the paper, so I am here. I’m still fighting with food and losing terribly. I’m avoiding my room because I just cannot stand to be around my room mate any more.  I have to wear shoes around the room because the floor is sticky. The entire place is a mess, and it smells.  She sits there, windows shut (so hot and stuffy), blinds down, lights off…watching her shows on youtube and the like.  She didn’t leave the room yesterday either.  I’m not going to counter her habits by being an ass- although I would like to very much.

I’m just going to take it easy tonight. I didn’t get much sleep the past 2 nights, and Yahoo has a new article linking lack of sleep and super early death.

There are so many things I have planned for the near future though. I’m super excited over those.  Alex and Lenny have been getting the house situated; I’m signing the lease when I get back. I have SO many pictures to upload. I can’t do that here since the internet is barely sustainable.  I should find a job at some point too.  I AM planning my quarterly trip out to Erie once I get back. I just need permission to go (considering I will have just gotten home.)  There was issues with that too, though.  Since my brother is now working, I don’t have a car to take out at my leisure. The job is supposed to cover that part for me : We’ll see.

I was in Paris this past weekend. So nice, but we also were there when they had their version of Labor Day, so everything was closed.  We were in Disneyland and that was great. Got my Indy AND STAR WARS in 😀

Alright…I am going to try to get this reading done so I can try to start the paper tomorrow or so.

9 Days.
