soo.... i should be sleeping. but, i went to bed, read the last 5 pages of my book, and proceded to stare up at my ceiling without turning the light off. this lasted for maybe 20 minutes. not THAT long compared to the horror stories i hear of people laying in bed for hours, sleepless, but during that short time, my mind just kept rattling on and on. it was like i was writing a blog entry in my head. i figured, while it might not make me sleepier, it might make me more satisfied with myself if i put some of it down in writing.
from day to day, i change my mind about my... how shall we put it... self-state. how am I? alot of days i just feel lonely. some days i feel as though ive lost all my friends and they are better off without me and why oh why am i so alone? other days i feel so surrounded with love and support that i dont even need that "special someone" in my life. other days i feel alone but im convinced i dont really need anyone else, i can keep myself busy. or i just dont want to be tied down by that someone else, or i love the people around me but having a relationship wouldnt be so bad, or im glad all my friends have someone, but why cant i?
as you might have noticed, alot of these are quite similar with only slight variations. the truth of the matter is, im not quite sure which one it is.
i see people who are so head over heals in love that i simply cannot comprehend. i dont understand it. ive loved people and cared for them immensly but i dont really think ive been IN LOVE. that mysterious feeling that everyone rants and raves about. i figure if its that great i couldnt have just... missed it... right? the whole thing is somewhat of a mystery. anyways, i want to feel something that strong. i want a feeling THAT strong that is positive. heck... sometimes id like to feel something that strong thats negative. sometimes i feel like i dont feel much of anything at all. im not sure if you guys understand...
ha.... hey, maybe im gay? ... naaaaah... guys are just TOO damn attractive for me to be gay. heh heh... it was a passing thought.
like i said before, i finished a book today. the author killed off my favorite character. i was kind of pissed. actually... pissed isnt really the right word. more like... why would he do that? why would he build up such a wonderful character, make him so bloody likable... actually carry him from the first book to the second book of the series and suddenly just off him. he wasnt even a secondary character!!! permit me to be all deep and pretentious and shit, but perhaps thats because thats how life goes. main characters die in life. they dont magically make their way out of the burning house everytime. life goes on without them.
sorry, ive been watching episodes of six feet under. its making me all philosophical about death.or at least.... trying to. im not all that good at this deep business.
ihad my second drivin lesson today. less scary... kinda... he had me go out onto the highway. that part was NOT cool. i wondered if he realised that im mortally afraid of other vehicles on the road. perhaps i should have printed him out The List. i still cant believe that im trusted behind the wheel of such a huge chunk of metal that could actually KILL someone. ive never been in control of something that could kill a person at the smallest mistake from me. this is what scares me with driving. it could go so wrong so fast, especially with a twat like me behind the wheel.
it will soon be a year since ive had a serious relationship. another month or two, thats all. i think that it doesnt matter one way or another since im not going to meet anyone new anytime soon. as for why, i am considering a few options:
a) i am physically unatractive
b) my personality is unatractive/uninteresting
c) my complete inability to meet new people
d) {d only kicks in once i overcome a,b and c} im kind of picky
and the ever charming option:
e) all of the above.
oh and as a last remark referring to the erased post i wrote about last time, the short version of it is that im afraid that if i ever lose interest in my art i will have nothing else to fall back on and i will be purposeless and sad and that by actually persuing the art feild, it brings me closer to that real possibility.
and that about covers it.
