It has been a long time since I have felt this happy. By no means am I the person I used to be but I am getting better
I don’t hate the person I am as much and am actually beginning to like me again. I still get irritated quickly and find myself being irrationally annoyed by my friends quirks… But I haven’t smiled this much in a long time, I can see the beauty in things again and I no longer have an underlying anger in my manner plus there is a skip in my step.
Sometimes all you have to do is write it all down and figure out what you can do something about and what is beyond your control. When you figure it out and be proactive the world begins to be seen n colour again and you can smile

Figures dancing gracefully,

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
That was somewhat thearputic…
Selfish People confuse me. They take, take and take. I have no problem with helping out a friend, of being there to listen but when a “friend” drains you of everything and never even asks how you are, you wonder if its worth it. Friendship is meant to be a two-way street. I amn’t a thearpist, I don’t get paid to have you talk at me. At times one friend will need to lean more on the other which I understand but constant going on and on about yourself, when you are aware that the other person is also needing support is beyond selfish. I’m exhausted from listening and from supporting selfish people, who don’t care about me. And I just can’t understand how anyone can be that self involved, who can’t see past themselves to even ask a friend how their life is, in over three months would you not once stop and wonder why you know nothing about what is going on in their life?
Alot of people confide in me and then expect me to deal with the problem and solve it for them. WHY put it on me, I have enough to deal with it. What is it about my persona that makes people think they can lump

Automatic greeting “Hi, How are you?” or something to that affect. Be it face-to-face, facebook, text or msn that is the usual way in which to start a conversation. Most of the time the “How are you?” is just automatic not needing a proper response but when someone leaves it out continuously it is noticed. I have a “friend” who, if asked, would not be able to tell you genuinely how I am or what I have been up to in the last three months, yet ask the same about her of me and I could tell you EVERYTHING down to the last minute detail.
I am aware that at different times in a friendship one person needs to lean more on the other but that does not mean that the person needing help completely forgets to ask about the others life.
She always has some complaint, some need for sympathy and as much as I want to be there for her it has become draining and exhausting. I, myself, have quite a few worries and problems at the moment and am grateful to my friends who put up with me and listen to me, but I NEVER forget to ask them about their life and am conscious that the world does not revolve around me. SHE on the other hand is so self involved it hurts. She begins all her MSN conversations with “hi” that’s it, it shows how little she cares she doesn’t even ask the generic “how are you?” The day of my friends month mind I had her texting me about her problems (she was aware of the day as I couldn’t go to an organised event due to it) and the following day she was the same, not one single word of condolence or a hint of concern.
I am so angry at her selfcentredness, doesn’t it ever cross her mind that she has no idea what is going on in my life, doesn’t she care? The longer this goes on the more resentment I feel and the angrier I get.
She is a leech sucking every last particle of energy and happiness I have out of me, I have told her she should go see a thearpist but she says she couldn’t talk at them. But she can talk at me? If it was a give and take relationship I wouldn’t mind but I am NOT her thearpist, I am NOT paid to listen to her. Giving with no return is exhausting and unfair.
How are some people just so selfish!

So walk a little slower
and open up your eyes
sometimes its so hard to see
the good things pass you by
There may never be a sign
no flashing neon light
tellin you to make your move
or when the time is right

I have a feeling this post is going to be long and have no direction. So be warned…
What makes one person attracted to another? I hit it off with someone new recently, we talk for hours, we have lots in common and we enjoy each others company… I know that he is attracted to me sexually and it confuses me.
I like the guy; he is very sweet, caring, fun, friendly and I am more than sure would be an amazing boyfriend. He is conscientious and always looking out for me. He is also not a push-over and will fight with me instead of just giving in. (anyone who knows me knows that that takes backbone.) He has all the personal traits that I see as ideal (except for the asshole/arrogant trait but that is hardly a healthy thing to seek out). So why is it that I am not attracted to him? Only answer I can come up with is that there is no attraction spark.
My best friend says my “spark excuse” is really my get-out clause so as not to allow myself the risk of getting hurt again. I sometimes wonder if it is but then I get afraid that if I don’t hold on to the idea of “a spark” I may settle for second best. I want the butterflies which I don’t have and yet I wonder. The more I get to know this guy the more I want to spend time with him…
I cant help thinking that in a few months time I am going to realise I do like him as more than a friend and it is going to be too late. What can I do though, I can hardly ask him to wait for something that may or may not be and I also can’t go for it now as what if I only think I may like him because he likes me and because he shows so many nice qualities?
Oh I am confused!
Sorry that was very nonsensical and self-indulgent…

It is always the same two weeks before exams, the panic sets in and the “shoulda-woulda-coulda” begins. I should have gone to my lectures, I would have been confident about the exam and I could have saved myself late nights, panic fits and anxiety. But yet again I am lying awake freaking at the idea of trying to understand a full course in two weeks.
Tomorrow I will troop to the library for 9 o’clock (skipping my lecture of course!) with the best intentions; I will do lots of study I will not waste hours on facebook and take three hour breaks. For a few hours this will work and then one o’clock comes and the hands type in the address, the mind justifies it “a half hour break, have done so much already” two hours later you finally log out to go to lunch (for twenty minutes ONLY) next thing you know it’s 6 o’ clock and you have wasted five hours…AGAIN.
Another week of this routine and the panic sets in, the late nights start and the “shoulda-woulda-coulda” begins again. The morning of the first exam dawns… the next two weeks are a blur of coffee, sugar and naps.
And then it’s over and your lost… I want it to be that point.
Because I want to.

With so much anger and thoughts and no where to put them, a blog seems like a good place to let off steam without physically hurting anyone. Whether or not it will be of any use or simply another means of procrastinating is yet to be decided. But for now it seems like a productive measure.
Until I need to rant.
