family is just a group of people who miss the same imaginary place.

this is a compilation of all the blogs i started but never finished or posted.


FREE FALLING. 5:32 PM.

i am here. in the calm before the storm.

and i am asking you to hold my hand.

i hope your shower was amiable. and i hope you dont get too down on your self. because you are great. and i wish i had someone as great as you. i dont know anyone who can hold up to your standards. but you've encouraged me to wait it out. i'm not settling for anything less.

i'm not here to get treated like a piece of ass. there is a huge difference between that and the dominant male thing i occasionally find appealing. and its unfortunant what it took for me to realize this.

SCREW YOU AND YOUR FALSE SENSE OF MISFORTUNE.

come crash into me.

i need some shock.

if i'm left here like this alone for much longer. there is no telling what might turn up. i need you to tell me what i am doing wrong. i need you bring me back to reality. i need you to make me vulnerable. i need you to break me.

and i think college has only solidified this state. this independence. this non-dependence. this non-reliance.

people think growing up means taking care of yourself. relying on yourself. taking care of your own problems. but really aren't you just transfering your support system from your parents to someone else of significance? a roommate? a boyfriend?

and so i sit here. in the peaceful blue of the morning. with no lights on.

SO I WAS IMPRESSED...UNTIL I REALIZED A MAJORITY OF MY READERS WERE MYSELF.

dude. i'm on a dude ban.

in multiple respects.

things i need to work on:

a) attempt to sound less west-coast-middle-schooler and quit saying dude before everything i say.

b) not care about dudes (which contradicts flaw "a" but is seemingly appropriate at the same time).

basically i am doing away with all forms of dude. and i'm going to need your support through this difficult time in my life. please dont hate.

my transition to womanhood.

i laid there. still as i could. only moving my eyes, trying not to wake the body beside me. i looked at the hair on his chest. a sight that i normally found revolting. but not today. not on him. i looked up at the scruff on his face.

all i could think was, "i am sleeping with a man."

which turned into, "i'm an adult."

which quickly led to, "fuck."

i heard john saying, by the time i recognize this moment, this moment will be gone. but i recognized it right away.

and in attempt to conserve details...i like this womanhood thing.

the beginning of this year? i call that experimentation.

and i think i went through that phase abnormally quickly. i mean considering three quarters on the greek male population wont get over it for another four years. that "random dancing/making out -- oh wait, whats your name again" thing.

but i am scared to get past this stage. because if i am not flying through a long list. and hitting it and quitting it. i am making myself vulnerable to rejection. and that's a risk i cannot take.

i mean i already got rejected from your society. and rejected from your scholarship. and rejected from your school. all without a second thought. or the blink of an eye. but if i get the next rejection that may or may not be coming my way, I'm not sure i will be able to handle the weight.

i was so used to being welcomed. embraced. for my acheivements. and now i am back to average. and not neccesarily backward. but just downward from where i have always been.

this womanhood thing. it's going to take some adjusting.

someday, someone will come into your life and you'll realize why it never worked out with any one else.

(i turned on the emo music to get me in the mood for this one).

i am ready to fall in love.

i dont know if it will happen with him. i mean, how could i? we've only had two measily, slightly embarrassing excursions. both lacking action. both subject to my lack of flirty ability. i dont know if its there. but i want to it be.

and thats what scares me. am i trying to convince myself that i like him? am i just crushing because he's older? (which i have found to be a complete and utter turn-on. don't ask me why). or am i crushing because he is the first guy to actually try to get to know me before he tries to bed me? or maybe the fact that he hasn't tried to get in my pants.

but i find him intruiging. and i am crushing. hardcore.

it may not be head over heels. or that cant-breath, cant-sleep, cant-eat, cant-focus kind of love. but i could be.

and i find myself reconsidering everything i say. everything i wear. everything i eat. and i'll put on a something cute, just in case, by chance, this will be the first time i ever run into him on campus.

so is this what it is like to have emotions?

i'm scared to see what happens when we get back. when i get back. will he call? will he still be interested? was i too boring?

these questions are absolutely killing me.

i find it absolutely amazing how two incredibly uneventful evenings with this fellow has caused for all other prospects to immediately escape my mind.

and you know he is perfect for me right. he plays just the kind of game that keeps me engaged. he was aggressive. he asked me out. and then waited for me to be the one to give in and respond first. then he asked me to go out again. and was completely casual. i mean nothing gets more casual than a good trip to home depot.

and then he waits. he does nothing. and i am going absolutely crazy. it's not my turn to give in. but i know i will because i have already planned my next attempt at communication. how pitiful is that???

i'm pitiful. and i have this middle school crush on the high school hottie. except this time, he's paying attention...

even though john is telling me to "say what i need to say" i'm afraid "my stupid mouth will get me in trouble." and at this point i am having trouble putting my EMOTIONS into words.
