  <title>fun times</title>
  <link>http://acolorfulmess.livejournal.com/23847.html</link>
  <description>well I was right.&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve been kissed.&lt;br /&gt;And I&apos;m not sure how I want to go into this...&lt;br /&gt;So I&apos;m going to creep around as much as possible... &lt;br /&gt;Meaning I&apos;m not going to release much info.&lt;br /&gt;But what I will say is this...&lt;br /&gt;He makes me happy when I don&apos;t think it&apos;s possible to be.&lt;br /&gt;We had our first kiss on Monday.&lt;br /&gt;And it&apos;s not that big of deal really...&lt;br /&gt;But to be secretly honest...&lt;br /&gt;I didn&apos;t think the kiss would work.&lt;br /&gt;I expected to be turned off at first kiss...&lt;br /&gt;But it does work. &lt;br /&gt;And he takes care of me.&lt;br /&gt;And we talk about nothing and everything all the time.&lt;br /&gt;Once we get together we have to force ourselves to part ways...&lt;br /&gt;Which is why we usually don&apos;t get home til 6am.&lt;br /&gt;When were on the phone we have to make ourselves hang up after at least 3 hours of talking.&lt;br /&gt;Isn&apos;t that crazy?&lt;br /&gt;Like I&apos;m completely, openly honest with him.&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s going really well right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a down note in my life...&lt;br /&gt;I think I cracked a rib or someone said sternum?&lt;br /&gt;It feels like people are stabbing and squeezing my heart constantly.&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s terrible.&lt;br /&gt;I can&apos;t pick things up really...&lt;br /&gt;It hurts to lift my body up from bed or laying down...&lt;br /&gt;It hurts to laugh. Cough. Or breathe in sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;But I&apos;m a trooper and I&apos;ll make it through...&lt;br /&gt;Although work tonight will prove it&apos;s difficulty level.</description>

  <title>where will I believe tomorrow?</title>
  <link>http://acolorfulmess.livejournal.com/23218.html</link>
  <description>I love how this book opens mind and expands my thoughts so far and deep that I can&apos;t even begin to accept it&apos;s endless possibilities.&lt;br /&gt;All I have to say is that the further we are able to live in our present lives, the more we come to see what the past really was or wasn&apos;t.&lt;br /&gt;We are able to move past what held us in place for so long.&lt;br /&gt;I can see my dreams up ahead and it&apos;s time now to make it come true.</description>

  <description>wedding wasted wknd is officially over...&lt;br /&gt;or at least try to explain that to my body.&lt;br /&gt;i didnt eat for 2 days.&lt;br /&gt;not for the sake of starvation or to lose any weight by any means...&lt;br /&gt;it just turned out that way.&lt;br /&gt;the lack of food just made the wknd more intense... and i dont mean that in a good way.&lt;br /&gt;i was hugging the toilet last night.&lt;br /&gt;for about 5 hours.&lt;br /&gt;and before that i would have to run to the bathroom for 5 min every hour.&lt;br /&gt;those amazing bellinis destroyed my insides.&lt;br /&gt;so when the wedding was over and we made it to the after party...&lt;br /&gt;even smoking some pot to get hungry and chow down didnt work...&lt;br /&gt;i had to force myself to take 3 bites of a sloppy joe.&lt;br /&gt;and that is crazy since i usually have to force myself to not eat.&lt;br /&gt;im not really going to go into any crazy details of the wknd.&lt;br /&gt;obviously it was fun. obviously there was an outrageous amount of drugs available. obviously i drank myself to puking... alot.&lt;br /&gt;it was so much fun though.&lt;br /&gt;btw. i have a thing for trey again.&lt;br /&gt;and a date with steven on wednesday.&lt;br /&gt;trey is reading a book of mine.&lt;br /&gt;i think its his way of having a reason to call me.&lt;br /&gt;steven doesnt think i want to go on a date with him...&lt;br /&gt;and he has every reason to believe that...&lt;br /&gt;but i dont necessarily feel that way.&lt;br /&gt;i am just done with guys.&lt;br /&gt;i dont really want to date them anymore.&lt;br /&gt;i dont want to have sex with them because im drunk.&lt;br /&gt;i just want to keep them at a safe distance away from me while i try to replace the lock around my heart.&lt;br /&gt;and could someone please get brandon out of my head.&lt;br /&gt;i want him surgically removed.&lt;br /&gt;like on that movie with jim carey.&lt;br /&gt;he is constantly there.&lt;br /&gt;so is kyle.&lt;br /&gt;randy popped in there sometime but i dont really blame him for anything.&lt;br /&gt;but kyle and brandon i do have unanswered questions.&lt;br /&gt;they have put an awkardness in me.&lt;br /&gt;they are the reasons i keep guys at such a distance.&lt;br /&gt;sure there were other jerks... but none that could compare to brandon and kyle.&lt;br /&gt;matthew was a jerk but thats just who he has become.&lt;br /&gt;and yah he may have hurt me but im over it. the situation. and him.&lt;br /&gt;i have no reason for him to even be in my thoughts unless were at work and his tables need prebussing.&lt;br /&gt;when jeff pops in my head its because i realize that hes finally in his place.&lt;br /&gt;mark comes in my head and thats cuz i wonder if he thinks im permanently psycho.&lt;br /&gt;plus i wonder if he ever thinks of me.&lt;br /&gt;but kyle and brandon are the ones always creeping into my brain at the most unexpected moments.&lt;br /&gt;i actually found out where kyle was working.&lt;br /&gt;hes a bartender at a katy bar.&lt;br /&gt;i went to this bar in hopes that he was working.&lt;br /&gt;he wasnt working. but my other friend justin works there too as a bartender.&lt;br /&gt;i just wanted to see kyle.&lt;br /&gt;i havent seen him in a few years.&lt;br /&gt;he was my first boyfriend that i ever loved.&lt;br /&gt;kyle destroyed me.&lt;br /&gt;and then i let brandon destroy me.&lt;br /&gt;but between kyle and brandon was brad.&lt;br /&gt;brad... i dont even want to go into it because i dont even know what to say about him.&lt;br /&gt;he didnt skrew me over.&lt;br /&gt;he tried to and it did sting...&lt;br /&gt;but in the end... im the one who skrewed him. not on purpose. but thats how he took it.&lt;br /&gt;i hate when i get into my exboyfriend frame of mind.&lt;br /&gt;when i think of all the guys i dated.&lt;br /&gt;and these arent even all of them.&lt;br /&gt;there was alex and micah too. which was interesting enough in itself even though they were 3 years apart? maybe more. i wont go into them either.&lt;br /&gt;its just crazy you know?&lt;br /&gt;i dated all these guys and more and never let one of them see me.&lt;br /&gt;mostly because i was on too many drugs or getting wasted.&lt;br /&gt;but... i dunno.&lt;br /&gt;its crazy where i was and where i have come. where i am now. its crazy. just crazy.</description>

  <title>my white lady friend</title>
  <link>http://acolorfulmess.livejournal.com/22388.html</link>
  <description>It&apos;s as if my body knows me all too well...&lt;br /&gt;Where is the beer? And my nose screams for just one more line.&lt;br /&gt;My head, as if it were president over all the organs, says no way we&apos;ve come too far... Keep this battle going!&lt;br /&gt;But the organs protest with rage and promise it will only happen once...&lt;br /&gt;Just one the brain says... And keeps repeating just one more after each line...&lt;br /&gt;What was left of my will power against coke has taken off at full speed.&lt;br /&gt;I cave in like a little child does once they know their parents saw their artwork on the wall where they weren&apos;t supposed to color.&lt;br /&gt;I pick up the little white baggy with my left hand pinching it as of it were infected.&lt;br /&gt;I open and pour a sufficient amount onto a black sketcher box.&lt;br /&gt;I stare at it&apos;s perfect pile of white beauty.&lt;br /&gt;It reminds me of Christmas time when my mom pours the powdered sugar all over the counter to complete the final step in making &quot;puppy chow.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;I reach for the razor and turn it over in he air to examine.&lt;br /&gt;I feel as if I am back in biology class picking up the instrument to cut into the rat we had to disect as juniors in high school.&lt;br /&gt;I chop chop chop it up.&lt;br /&gt;Till it&apos;s fine. No chunks. Just pure white powder... Like the powdered sugar on the counter.&lt;br /&gt;I break it into 6 lines.&lt;br /&gt;I ask for a straw and one of the kids brings back this stubby blue straw.&lt;br /&gt;I think to myself how I wish I had cut the straw cuz this ones way too short.&lt;br /&gt;That first line for my entire body Is like meeting up with an old best friend and hanging out as if you never left each other.&lt;br /&gt;I pass on the box and hand her the straw.</description>

  <title>hi. It&apos;s me in smashed</title>
  <link>http://acolorfulmess.livejournal.com/22022.html</link>
  <description>there is something that filled the hole in me that matthew placed.&lt;br /&gt;I feel a hatred that curls my toes.&lt;br /&gt;It is a tension in my chest like a wire tugged hard from both ends.&lt;br /&gt;I don&apos;t detest only him, but men everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;When I drink it comes unhooked and takes flight like a shot rubber band.&lt;br /&gt;When we work together I try not to look him in the eye.&lt;br /&gt;When I catch a glance at him and he sees me I feel as if I have lost a battle.&lt;br /&gt;His eyes are no longer filled with happy expressions but instead are as black as night.&lt;br /&gt;I fear him. I fear men everywhere. &lt;br /&gt;I can&apos;t compete with the kind of pain they put upon me.&lt;br /&gt;I hate the universe and it&apos;s irony.&lt;br /&gt;The world looks too pretty for this moment.&lt;br /&gt;It doesn&apos;t fit this talk, which is too sad, and biting, and ugly.&lt;br /&gt;I think that crying the st Arnold day was an honest reflex, an involuntary reaction to some inner pressure point.&lt;br /&gt;They might have been my bodys way of telling me that something is wrong inside, that five years of drinking is catching up to me.&lt;br /&gt;It is contorting me into some different girl, a new person who I can sometimes see in pictures, behind my glassed eyes and in the down-turned corners of my mouth.&lt;br /&gt;This new girl is sad and secretive and volatile.&lt;br /&gt;She is me, and I am in trouble.</description>

  <title>work happy</title>
  <link>http://acolorfulmess.livejournal.com/21947.html</link>
  <description>I realize that I am most happiest when I am at work.&lt;br /&gt;When this thought first crossed my mind I figured it was because I hated living with my parents and because after moving 150 miles away from friends that I just loathed my Katy life.&lt;br /&gt;But that isn&apos;t it.&lt;br /&gt;I don&apos;t miss my friends. I know they are there and I speak to them often enough for me not to miss them enough to hate my life.&lt;br /&gt;I am happiest at work because I am &quot;safe&quot; there.&lt;br /&gt;I can be myself as whacky and random and childish as I am.&lt;br /&gt;I can speak openly to the guys and not worry that I am stepping over some invisible crush line that ultimately has me waking up next to him the next morning while I try to retrace how I got there.&lt;br /&gt;I am not openly flirtacious to men in bars because I don&apos;t want to sleep with them.&lt;br /&gt;And I feel as if I owe them some sort of sexual act because they bought me a beer.&lt;br /&gt;When I&apos;m at work I can do and say what I want with the guys without making them think I have some interest in them.&lt;br /&gt;Their hand isn&apos;t on my lower back leading me to their room...&lt;br /&gt;They love who I am without expecting a kiss as we walk to our cars to go home.&lt;br /&gt;I love work because I am protected from feeling as if I have to kiss or hug or do anyone.&lt;br /&gt;I am my childish self at work because I don&apos;t feel threatened.</description>

  <title>The day I didn&apos;t die</title>
  <link>http://acolorfulmess.livejournal.com/21357.html</link>
  <description>I remember the night perfectly.&lt;br /&gt;As if it happened last week.&lt;br /&gt;I was 16.&lt;br /&gt;A junior in high school.&lt;br /&gt;It was march.&lt;br /&gt;I had a job at chuck e cheese.&lt;br /&gt;I had just quit the Katy brigade a month earlier... Which had upset my parents, friends, the director ms. Henson, and the principal. Pissed them off that I would quit before the end of the year that they took my letter jacket away.&lt;br /&gt;But I had new friends... And I had senioritis... And I just didn&apos;t care anymore.&lt;br /&gt;I had the attitude that parents tell later about how I was your typical teenage bitchy daughter and classmate.&lt;br /&gt;My sister would tell me later while I attend college that she ran into people that knew me and they said I was a bitch.&lt;br /&gt;Again... I didn&apos;t care. I had new friends and I just didn&apos;t care.&lt;br /&gt;This night in march was like any other night in high school.&lt;br /&gt;I had off from work and my boyfriend danny was working.&lt;br /&gt;We worked together... That&apos;s where we met.&lt;br /&gt;I had our usual family dinner.&lt;br /&gt;My parents and I got into a fight.&lt;br /&gt;I wanted to see danny and they said I couldn&apos;t go out that night.&lt;br /&gt;I was livid. I hated my family. I hated them so much.&lt;br /&gt;I yelled and argued and threw a bitch fit... Although at that time it seemed reasonable.&lt;br /&gt;Looking back now what I did was stupid and completely unjustified.&lt;br /&gt;After sitting through the dinner my mom leaves for a church night.&lt;br /&gt;My dad is downstairs working at the computer.&lt;br /&gt;I sit indian style on the floor in my room.&lt;br /&gt;I am starring at myself in the mirror.&lt;br /&gt;My closet doors are just mirrors from floor to top.&lt;br /&gt;I want to die.&lt;br /&gt;I hate my life so much.&lt;br /&gt;And I just want to die.&lt;br /&gt;I stare at myself in the mirror and wonder how I would kill myself.&lt;br /&gt;Cutting myself is out of the picture.&lt;br /&gt;I had tried that before in the shower earlier that year.&lt;br /&gt;The pain felt great. It was better than what I felt inside. It made me happy. But I knew I couldn&apos;t cut myself deep enough to die.&lt;br /&gt;I knew I couldn&apos;t hang myself either. I had no rope.&lt;br /&gt;So then I think of overdose.&lt;br /&gt;I had enough pills to kill me.&lt;br /&gt;I had them from drill team... They load us up with that shit.&lt;br /&gt;Not the good stuff... But pills like Tylenol, midol, ibuprofen... Headache shit.&lt;br /&gt;I get up and search for it.&lt;br /&gt;My dad calls up to me to tell me he is going walking.&lt;br /&gt;I find pills upon pill bottles.&lt;br /&gt;I sit back down Indian style in front of the mirror and on the floor.&lt;br /&gt;I have a glass of water and I watch myself swallow pill after pill.&lt;br /&gt;A creepy happy feeling comes over me.&lt;br /&gt;I might die and I smile.&lt;br /&gt;Half an hour later I call danny at work.&lt;br /&gt;He knows something is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;At  this time in my life I don&apos;t drink or do drugs.&lt;br /&gt;I hang up and I am lying on the floor upstairs in the hallway that leads to my room.&lt;br /&gt;I stare up at the ceiling with the house phone next to me.&lt;br /&gt;It rings and I ignore it.&lt;br /&gt;Why am I not dead? I wonder. I&apos;m disappointed. I just want to leave this stupid life. I hate myself.&lt;br /&gt;I get up and go to the kitchen.&lt;br /&gt;The phone rings and I answer.&lt;br /&gt;What? Is how I pick up the phone.&lt;br /&gt;What&apos;s happening? What did you do? Danny is concerned.&lt;br /&gt;I tell him nothing and hang up on him.&lt;br /&gt;There&apos;s a knock on the door.&lt;br /&gt;I answer it.&lt;br /&gt;Fucking ambulance.&lt;br /&gt;Did someone call? The ambulance lady asks.&lt;br /&gt;Not at this house I tell her.&lt;br /&gt;They turn and start to walk away.&lt;br /&gt;The lady stops and turns around.&lt;br /&gt;Are you ok? Did you something?&lt;br /&gt;I can&apos;t lie to her. It&apos;s as if she can see through me.&lt;br /&gt;I tell her I took 26 pills in less than 5 minutes almost an hour ago.&lt;br /&gt;They look at each other and come in.</description>

  <title>starting from the beginning</title>
  <link>http://acolorfulmess.livejournal.com/21194.html</link>
  <description>this song makes me want to cry.&lt;br /&gt;&quot;in the deep&quot; by Bird York.&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s on the crash movie.&lt;br /&gt;I love this movie.&lt;br /&gt;If I wasn&apos;t with my mom... And I was alone... I would cry.cry.cry.&lt;br /&gt;OMG!!! I almost forgot!!&lt;br /&gt;I got home from work and guess what was in the mail!!?!&lt;br /&gt;A letter from my credit people telling me I am paid in full!!!!&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m debt free!!&lt;br /&gt;Of course I will call tomorrow to confirm that I don&apos;t have to pay my $185 the next 3 months...&lt;br /&gt;I couldn&apos;t be happier about this.&lt;br /&gt;Seriously.&lt;br /&gt;So let&apos;s talk about my life and leave my internal emotional thoughts out.&lt;br /&gt;So I want a digital camera.&lt;br /&gt;and if you haven&apos;t figured it out... I have expensive taste.&lt;br /&gt;However.&lt;br /&gt;I want this camera by next weekend.&lt;br /&gt;Financially it is completely out of the picture unless I pick up shifts (which I don&apos;t want to do).&lt;br /&gt;So I was thinking that I would buy a $150 one instead and use it til I can afford my $350 one.&lt;br /&gt;Like I would seriously wait to just buy the one I want...&lt;br /&gt;But I really wish I had a camera at Harold&apos;s wedding.&lt;br /&gt;Now that I think about it... I should have asked matthew to bring his.&lt;br /&gt;I have zero pics with him...&lt;br /&gt;Which is ok... But it&apos;s memory I wish I had in photo.&lt;br /&gt;We may not be friends now (which I think is way retarded)...&lt;br /&gt;But he was really there for me.&lt;br /&gt;Even if his intentions weren&apos;t genuinely true...&lt;br /&gt;He still helped.&lt;br /&gt;He was there for my bday when my family attacked me verbally and emotionally.&lt;br /&gt;He&apos;s taken me home when I couldn&apos;t drive.&lt;br /&gt;He was good company for pool time (even if he never jumped off the board).&lt;br /&gt;And the week my parents left town... He really helped me stay sane.&lt;br /&gt;So yes... As a friend he is great. And that is what I miss.&lt;br /&gt;But he thinks I&apos;m annoying. So whatever.&lt;br /&gt;And I still do remember the st arnold day and the way he made me feel...&lt;br /&gt;So his attraction is gone. But he is a good guy when he&apos;s not being a dick.&lt;br /&gt;Wow. Sounds like a brandon... Stay away. Stay away.&lt;br /&gt;But anywho. Camera.&lt;br /&gt;I really want the entire wknd on camera.&lt;br /&gt;Sarah will be here... Eric&apos;s old friends I haven&apos;t seen since high school will be there.&lt;br /&gt;Drugs everywhere. Wasted nights. Fun times.&lt;br /&gt;Like. I can&apos;t wait.&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m def going to need the camera.&lt;br /&gt;Moving on... The macbook...&lt;br /&gt;So I opened a savings acct today.&lt;br /&gt;Specifically for my MacBook.&lt;br /&gt;I am going to try to save $200/wk give or take.&lt;br /&gt;Right now I have $150 in there.&lt;br /&gt;And if I truly have no more credit payments then maybe I can get it faster.&lt;br /&gt;I need $1600 but to be safe I won&apos;t get it til I have $1800.&lt;br /&gt;I should look on eBay... Hmm... I just thought of that.&lt;br /&gt;I dunno if that would be more troublesoMe later.&lt;br /&gt;I think I&apos;ll just get a new one of my own.&lt;br /&gt;On other news.&lt;br /&gt;I am currently looking for a job as a planner.&lt;br /&gt;I would still work at Saltgrass... But I want this job too.&lt;br /&gt;See I love to plan and organize and I love working with people.&lt;br /&gt;And a dream job of mine (like me being a therapist) is being a party planner or like a wedding planner.&lt;br /&gt;A planner for events. You get it.&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve found some in Houston but I&apos;m not yet ready for that move.&lt;br /&gt;I mean hello?? I still need mula for bills and my MacBook comes first!&lt;br /&gt;I think that if I got a job like this then I will be able to tell if I would want to do this for the next decade or longer or until something comes erupting into my life for me to alter whatever lifestyle I am living at that moment. Ya know?&lt;br /&gt;But gosh.&lt;br /&gt;I really want to return to school...&lt;br /&gt;But at the same time... My heart isn&apos;t in it.&lt;br /&gt;Is anyones heart in it?&lt;br /&gt;You know... I don&apos;t think I can write an entry without my emotions and deep questions or hidden thoughts come out.&lt;br /&gt;All in all I would say life is pretty good.&lt;br /&gt;Although 2 things that are negative.&lt;br /&gt;1. My car ramone.&lt;br /&gt;He needs a new windshield.&lt;br /&gt;I had a rock hit it once last year and now it has grown across the entire windshield.&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m scared I&apos;m going to be driving and it bust out.&lt;br /&gt;Damn the tx heat!&lt;br /&gt;I also still need to fix the doorhandle.&lt;br /&gt;And I need an oil change plus 3 new tires.&lt;br /&gt;And my stickers are past the date.&lt;br /&gt;So that&apos;s a lot of financial stress me.&lt;br /&gt;Not to mention that my parents want me to find my own insurance.&lt;br /&gt;Stress. I&apos;m not ready. At least let me get my MacBook!&lt;br /&gt;2. The original 5 will all be in Katy tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;The original 5 are my girlfriends from the beginning of college.&lt;br /&gt;Linda (I&apos;ve known since 2nd grade)&lt;br /&gt;Carrie (best friend since jack camp03)&lt;br /&gt;Christol (worked with her in high school but really got to know her in college)&lt;br /&gt;Lucie (met through Carrie who showed me what college was my first yr)&lt;br /&gt;And then me... If I were to describe me from the way they see me... It would sound like this...&lt;br /&gt;Rebecca (the crazy red head who had our back) I use to fight chics who messed with my friends. Retarded. Yes.&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s weird how time alters things.&lt;br /&gt;The negative part about them being here is why they are here.&lt;br /&gt;Linda and I live in Katy.&lt;br /&gt;Christol is from here... But lives in Dallas now.&lt;br /&gt;Lucie is from marble falls but lives in Dallas too.&lt;br /&gt;Carrie is from marble too and just moved into Austin.&lt;br /&gt;They are all here due to the death of christols father.&lt;br /&gt;We are all there for her. Love her.&lt;br /&gt;So we are going to help her through this difficult time by going to the funeral...&lt;br /&gt;And any other emotional support she needs.&lt;br /&gt;I don&apos;t know what I would do if I lost my dad...&lt;br /&gt;But I&apos;m sure I&apos;d be hysterical like she is right now.&lt;br /&gt;I can&apos;t even grasp the idea of my dad absent in my life. Like it&apos;s not possible.&lt;br /&gt;Crazy. Life. Ya know?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok love life now!!&lt;br /&gt;Wait... There isn&apos;t one.&lt;br /&gt;I have no new interest. And no old interest.&lt;br /&gt;I am completely independent right now.&lt;br /&gt;And you know... I like it.&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;d rather have my soul mate come knock on my door and say hi and introduce...&lt;br /&gt;But nooooooo.... Life doesnt work that way for some strange reason.&lt;br /&gt;But I like my goals I have set.&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m getting out of summer psycho mode and falling into concentrated/ goal-oriented rebecca.&lt;br /&gt;Believe it or not.... It&apos;s the responsible chic in me that has ruled most of my life...&lt;br /&gt;Psycho never existed til brandon, alcohol, and drugs came into my life.&lt;br /&gt;Now I&apos;m at 2:3... Maybe that&apos;s why I&apos;m not as psycho anymore.&lt;br /&gt;CUz when you think about it....&lt;br /&gt;Sure I&apos;m a little weird and a huge dork...&lt;br /&gt;But the only time I&apos;m psycho  or clingy is when I&apos;m drunk.&lt;br /&gt;Matthew said I was clingy.&lt;br /&gt;But the only time I was clingy was if I was drunk.&lt;br /&gt;Now psycho.... Let&apos;s see... Mark, jeff, brandon...  I think that&apos;s it... They called me this.&lt;br /&gt;Although jeff and brandon both text me and wish they hadn&apos;t fucked me over.&lt;br /&gt;Mark. Haha poor mark.&lt;br /&gt;I was fucked up out of my mind when that happened.&lt;br /&gt;I don&apos;t even remember it.&lt;br /&gt;He had to tell me... And that was 3 days after it happened.&lt;br /&gt;Im sure I told you about it sometime in this journal.&lt;br /&gt;Look it up...it was back in march.&lt;br /&gt;There are facebook pics too... The one titled psycho bitch in nac or something.&lt;br /&gt;It tells the story the story there too I think.&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve grown up a lot this year.&lt;br /&gt;I know I&apos;ve done immature things... And that I still have a lot of growing up to do...&lt;br /&gt;But I&apos;m getting there. I&apos;m learning. From my past. &lt;br /&gt;And I have a dream. For what I want my future to look like.&lt;br /&gt;I haven&apos;t had goals since I can&apos;t even remember.&lt;br /&gt;I need to be that girl I was 7-8 years ago.&lt;br /&gt;I still have her spirit... Just lost the responsible part. Well some of it. Where are you rebecca?&lt;br /&gt;I mean yayy on the debt free shit. That was very responsible of me.:)&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m going to end this.&lt;br /&gt;Goodnight</description>

  <title>back to school... ?</title>
  <link>http://acolorfulmess.livejournal.com/18968.html</link>
  <description>so I can&apos;t seem to keep one idea.&lt;br /&gt;My mind explodes new ideas and thoughts like every second.&lt;br /&gt;And not to mention that I have people who have my best interest at heart.&lt;br /&gt;So I had my heart set on moving to Austin.&lt;br /&gt;Got all giddy with the thought of living there.&lt;br /&gt;But then I got the journal in the mail...&lt;br /&gt;Meghan said she would be upset if I didn&apos;t go back to school...&lt;br /&gt;Then Curtis... This guy from work... He actually reminds me a lot of eric...&lt;br /&gt;But he was telling me I should just finish school.&lt;br /&gt;It caught me off guard coming from him since we don&apos;t really ever talk...&lt;br /&gt;But I&apos;m glad he said it. And it meant more coming from him...&lt;br /&gt;Maybe because he doesn&apos;t know me.&lt;br /&gt;So anyway I hung out with eric today....&lt;br /&gt;He told me to apply to fasfa for financial aide.&lt;br /&gt;So if I can get it then I will be attending UH sooner than hoped for...&lt;br /&gt;But in the long run it will make me happier faster.&lt;br /&gt;Meghan believes that finishing school will make me happy.&lt;br /&gt;I believe that just moving out and paying my own bills will make me happy.&lt;br /&gt;So I am going to set up an appt with UH.&lt;br /&gt;I need to start looking for a job out there as well as an apt.&lt;br /&gt;And I will need a roomie too to save mula...&lt;br /&gt;If it were up to me I would live solo.&lt;br /&gt;I mentioned to ashlee from work once about living together...&lt;br /&gt;But her bf wants to move in with her and she doesn&apos;t...&lt;br /&gt;So I mean she is in a shitty situation.&lt;br /&gt;But if shE can move in then that would be perfect.&lt;br /&gt;She is this real chill cool chic...&lt;br /&gt;She reminds me a lot of Carrie.&lt;br /&gt;And Carrie and I lived together for 3 years.&lt;br /&gt;But I may have to find someone else.&lt;br /&gt;WelL have to see.</description>

  <link>http://acolorfulmess.livejournal.com/18528.html</link>
  <description>life is so frustrating for me right now.&lt;br /&gt;I have so many dreams that I&apos;m not sure which to choose to go after.&lt;br /&gt;Society says to go back to school...&lt;br /&gt;While my heart and gut tell me otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to run away.&lt;br /&gt;Far far away.&lt;br /&gt;I want to buy my MacBook and write.write.write.&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m thinking this:&lt;br /&gt;I save my money the next couple months.&lt;br /&gt;I use that to pay off remaining debt plus  buy my MacBook.&lt;br /&gt;So I&apos;m thinking I can do that by early october.&lt;br /&gt;Then save my money again the next few months after.&lt;br /&gt;Once I have $3000 saved I move.&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m thinking I will have this amt between jan and feb.&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m not sure where I would move but I would fucking move damnit.&lt;br /&gt;Away from this town. This city. These people. My family.&lt;br /&gt;Away from it all.&lt;br /&gt;If I stay in Texas then I would live in Austin probably.&lt;br /&gt;I believe that if I try hard enough then I can be a writer.&lt;br /&gt;Not this kind of bullshit writing but real writing.&lt;br /&gt;And in a year if I get no where in life then I reconsider the school thing.&lt;br /&gt;I know I need a degree in this damn life to really make it in life.&lt;br /&gt;But I can&apos;t just get up and go to school and disregard what my heart body and soul are trying to tell me.&lt;br /&gt;I have to do this for myself.&lt;br /&gt;I need to know that I tried to do something for me...&lt;br /&gt;Even when those that loved me most tried to get me to go back to school.&lt;br /&gt;Life is all about the what ifs man...&lt;br /&gt;And what if my fate is waiting for me to hear my heart.&lt;br /&gt;To tell me that my happy place isn&apos;t where I am right now...&lt;br /&gt;I need to do this for me.&lt;br /&gt;I mean look at me.&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m living with my parents while waiting tables.&lt;br /&gt;I can do that shit anywhere.&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m not happy in Katy. Houston.&lt;br /&gt;I need to do whatever it is I need to do to be happy.&lt;br /&gt;And that&apos;s really all there is to it</description>

  <description>at what point will it feel comfortable to be the 3rd wheel... the 5th wheel... the x wheel...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my life is ever changing in 2008.&lt;br /&gt;and as i predicted back in january....&lt;br /&gt;were all getting so far in life.&lt;br /&gt;harold gets married next wknd.&lt;br /&gt;him and his daughter and katie are getting along well. &lt;br /&gt;things are &quot;normal&quot; for them now.&lt;br /&gt;he has taken the responsibility as a father... finally.&lt;br /&gt;eric is adjusting to life with wife and child.&lt;br /&gt;although he doesnt marry til aug 31...&lt;br /&gt;they are the family.&lt;br /&gt;amanda is your typical mother.&lt;br /&gt;eric is trying to make ends meet and step up as a father and husband.&lt;br /&gt;his life is very organized and i can see them going far in life.&lt;br /&gt;im not worried one bit for them.&lt;br /&gt;jacqueline has a steady boyfriend, john.&lt;br /&gt;she brings him everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;she still doesnt understand parenting...&lt;br /&gt;but you know... i wont get into that.&lt;br /&gt;she is doing well for herself right now i believe.&lt;br /&gt;i wouldnt ever date a guy like john...&lt;br /&gt;but thats just me.&lt;br /&gt;if they make each other happy that is all that matters.&lt;br /&gt;as for myself...&lt;br /&gt;im single. and STILL trying to love it.&lt;br /&gt;and its not that i dont get offers for dates.&lt;br /&gt;because i do know people are interested.&lt;br /&gt;there are 2 guys that constantly ask me over for movies...&lt;br /&gt;i dont go because i dont want to lead them on.&lt;br /&gt;to be completely and openly honest...&lt;br /&gt;i like matthew.&lt;br /&gt;and he&apos;s the only one i want.&lt;br /&gt;and im not sure if its me really being into him...&lt;br /&gt;or if its me wanting him because i cant have him.&lt;br /&gt;but you know... were both going different directions in life...&lt;br /&gt;so i dont really see the point in trying for him anymore.&lt;br /&gt;like he is my date next wknd for the wedding.&lt;br /&gt;and im pretty sure that will be the last time we hang out.&lt;br /&gt;just because he&apos;s busy moving downtown with curtis...&lt;br /&gt;and im busy trying to fit myself into my family while trying to complete school asap.&lt;br /&gt;i need to focus on myself.&lt;br /&gt;i need to stop going out [again]...&lt;br /&gt;and work my way back into the gym.&lt;br /&gt;thats my goal this week.&lt;br /&gt;to go to the gym everyday.&lt;br /&gt;and i dont see why that would be an issue.&lt;br /&gt;something else thats on my mind is this thought...&lt;br /&gt;there is harold/katie/gabriella... eric/amanda/mason... jacqueline/john/andrew... me.&lt;br /&gt;earlier i saw myself as the hip single fun aunt...&lt;br /&gt;now i just see myself as &quot;lonely.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;for example: the 3 couples above want to go out... &quot;ooo  but do we invite rebecca? she&apos;ll be all alone...&quot;---- i dont want that!&lt;br /&gt;im starting to feel that i need to find myself somebody...&lt;br /&gt;and whenever i think that i think of matthew...&lt;br /&gt;and im so sick of thinking of someone who doesnt give a shit.&lt;br /&gt;and does anyone think of me ever?&lt;br /&gt;and why is it that i dont want the guys that want me?&lt;br /&gt;how do i find guys like matthew? and why do i like his type?&lt;br /&gt;and will i ever find love... true cant-get-enough-of-you love.&lt;br /&gt;i want matthew and i not to work together....&lt;br /&gt;that way i dont ever have to see him...&lt;br /&gt;which makes things easier.&lt;br /&gt;why do i feel this way toward him?&lt;br /&gt;it makes me angry that i do.&lt;br /&gt;&quot;fuck you matthew&quot;- curtis says to think that when matthew pisses me off inside my head.&lt;br /&gt;the kid drives me insane.&lt;br /&gt;i can be completely pissed off at him and then look at him and be like... i was mad?&lt;br /&gt;he has these eyes that are completely off the wall amazing.&lt;br /&gt;he speaks through his eyes too... his emotions shine through them...&lt;br /&gt;and when he is happy and he looks at you... this emotion runs through my body and tingles and then you see a smile on me.&lt;br /&gt;and then there is HIS smile.&lt;br /&gt;its incredible.&lt;br /&gt;so then you have these 2 big brown eyes that youre already falling into then he shows this smile that makes you happy for no reason at all.&lt;br /&gt;matthew is absolutely gorgeous in every amazing way.&lt;br /&gt;his eyes and smile are his best features for sure.&lt;br /&gt;so you get past the looks which are all amazing.&lt;br /&gt;and then we get to his personality.&lt;br /&gt;which is also fantastic.&lt;br /&gt;hes smart, funny, spontaneous, he listens [for the most part]. &lt;br /&gt;now the kid is not perfect... at all.&lt;br /&gt;he has his flaws...&lt;br /&gt;but i can overlook them... with just those eyes.&lt;br /&gt;does this entry make me appear psychotic?&lt;br /&gt;because i want to remember that this is how i felt about him...&lt;br /&gt;so that when he fucks me over i&apos;ll be like fuck... but i did it to myself.&lt;br /&gt;i want to know exactly how i feel about matthew now so that i can remember later.&lt;br /&gt;does that make sense?&lt;br /&gt;anywho. pool time with matthew now.</description>

  <title>crush it up.... Take it down...</title>

  <description>I&apos;m a sad girl today.&lt;br /&gt;completely in my head.&lt;br /&gt;my smiles are for your false hopes that I&apos;m ok.&lt;br /&gt;I have symptoms of manic depressive disorder.&lt;br /&gt;and if I had a bottle of suicide pills I&apos;d take them impulsively.&lt;br /&gt;but instead I think of my family and friends and the damages a suicide would bring.&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m unhappy for their well being.&lt;br /&gt;I want a hug.&lt;br /&gt;I want to be held and to cry while being held.&lt;br /&gt;I push everyone away so they can&apos;t see how unhappy I really am.&lt;br /&gt;I can&apos;t grasp the thought of a happy life for me.&lt;br /&gt;I wish brandon were here... He would hug me. He would hold me.&lt;br /&gt;he wouldn&apos;t let me go til my tears were gone.&lt;br /&gt;then he would tell me how perfect I am.&lt;br /&gt;how he wouldn&apos;t change a thing... No matter how many times I tell him I&apos;m skrewed in the head.&lt;br /&gt;and that is why I love brandon.&lt;br /&gt;haven&apos;t talked to him since my bday.&lt;br /&gt;he called right at midnight. Which was shocking... And it made me happy.&lt;br /&gt;I need a friend like brandon here.&lt;br /&gt;matthew is my closest version of brandon.&lt;br /&gt;but tonight I didn&apos;t have the courage to ask matthew for a hug...&lt;br /&gt;and I would have with brandon... And he would hold me close.&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m so sad...&lt;br /&gt;and all I can think of is wind.</description>

  <title>Me myself and i</title>
  <link>http://acolorfulmess.livejournal.com/10821.html</link>
  <description>ever since I was a little girl I have always been in my head.&lt;br /&gt;my last entry I said I wanted a great friendship relationship with matthew.&lt;br /&gt;well that&apos;s not it.&lt;br /&gt;What I want is someone I can rely on...&lt;br /&gt;someone who can help me when I&apos;m down.&lt;br /&gt;and I realized you can&apos;t rely on anyone other than yourself.&lt;br /&gt;so I am building a relationship with myself.&lt;br /&gt;making &quot;me&quot; a stronger and better person.&lt;br /&gt;I don&apos;t need anyone.</description>

  <title>I&apos;m 23 today</title>
  <link>http://acolorfulmess.livejournal.com/9901.html</link>
  <description>today I turn 23.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember as a child how excited I was the night before my bdays.&lt;br /&gt;I would be so anxious that it took forever to fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m 23 today and want that little child excitement.&lt;br /&gt;instead I feel incomplete and broken.&lt;br /&gt;my heart hurts.&lt;br /&gt;and I&apos;m starting to have 2nd thoughts about my nac trip.&lt;br /&gt;why do I get like this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pool party was fun........ To an extent.&lt;br /&gt;I really wish matthew hadn&apos;t been there.&lt;br /&gt;for whatever reason I feel completely betrayed by him.&lt;br /&gt;I feel as if him and Curtis and everyone were laughing behind my back.&lt;br /&gt;Like I was/am a joke.&lt;br /&gt;I want a new job so that I dont have to see any of them again ever.&lt;br /&gt;maybe it is good I am going on this trip.&lt;br /&gt;I dunno.&lt;br /&gt;I really want to hide from the world.&lt;br /&gt;I really want my heart to fill up like a balloon and lift my spirits from this depression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m 23 today and feel as if no one cares.&lt;br /&gt;I hope my next entry is happy.</description>
