Letters from a siloutte

Why do we do this...why do we hold on to things we think we need in order to confort ourselves despite full well knowing that change is inevitable.

Case and point: my choices this evening were cry myself to sleep or grab a shirt I wore home that still smelled like him?  so full well knowing it's over between me and Him, I go to my laundry pile and grab his shirt. like a moron i smell it, and yup sure as rain, smell it to see if his scent just lingers. When I am content that it does, i slip it on, and am conforted? Why? It's OVER. Just like summer an hour ago, it's over. Perhaps we hold on to what we know and what we like, for know other purpose than just that, it's what we knew and what we liked. In the morning things will be better and the angels that plagued our nightmares will be gone till either the shirt stops smelling like him, i do laundry, or am conforted in the inevitable change of the wind and someone else makes me feel better. Selfish, vindictive, and anyother bad thing you might call it but isn't that the truth. Isn't that what every person is after the first heart ache? just temporary releif from the pain you felt before. Sometimes if we're lucky it's not temporary and it is powerful enough that while it's there you can never understand how you thought you loved someone before, or how you had ever wasted sleepless nights looking for someone to be lying next to you--because this new person, this person you might still be getting used to, makes everything confortable again and it seems as if nothing truly is missing, and if ever it was, you've forgotten because it seems nothing can compare to this moment, this moment right now. Tommorow, the true Fall,  becomes so far away because, today, tonight, is perfect, and you have someone, or the thought that someone, someone is happy to be that someone next to you.

Epiphany

Well, as I wake up at 2pm recovering gracefully from yet another "night out"--I am shocked to receive a phone call from my un-named yet still present "man." Yeah, not anymore. I guess.

I'm thinking of that comic guy from the Simpsons "SHORTEST RELATIONSHIP EVER" --LMAO.

J-low should be calling me shortly to receive the DL, and probably to try to console me, yet once again I need very little consolation. When you know "ends" are innevitable, you don't put much stock into tommorow.

Thats another thing. I'm never telling anyone--anyone--ever again about who I'm with from now on. It seems everytime my romantic life gets public, boom it's over within 48 hours. This has happened twice this summer.  Yup, ten years from now, when I'm starting to show because I'm 4 months pregnant and everyones like wow who's the dad, I'm going to be like, I don't know what you're talking about. lol.

Perhaps I'm just consoling myself. Truth is, I knew it was coming, I just didn't think it would come this fast. Thats actually the one line that summed that whole "relationship"(?????) up. It came fast, before I was ready, left faster before I knew we had begun. If it had begun? What counts as starting a relationship? 

Does kissing a guy mean you're dating, No. Does being exclusive with a guy mean you're seeing one another. No--Personally I just think thats being classy and hygenic to say the least. Does a guy telling you he loves you count as starting a relationship? No-sadly I know this. hmmm. Mutual agreement maybe? Blah, I  don't know.  

I mean I was always seeing other guys. Hell last night I was shady and I know it. I mean when your girl (my girl, J-low a.k.a. Jimmney Cricket, to be exact) has to take away your cell phone and say, NO, no meeting other guys, I mean I guess thats a sign right? I'm just meant to be single right now I guess.

Speaking of signs. Virgos were going to detatch two days ago. I read it on AOL. How true, how true sometimes how the stars or some nuts making 7.50 an hour to make up crap can be so accurate sometimes?

You know Someone once told me he was cursed with the fact that girls he wanted to be friends with, always wanted more. I think I have the spin off or reflection of that curse in the fact that every guy I hook up, loves me as a person, and wants to be just friends. Hmmmm...maybe I'm a bad kisser? No--lets be honest that's so not it.  Cocky maybe, but if I were to take a survey...well, ne-ways.

Perhaps this is the universe yet again working its great mysterious ways, trying to inform me I don't need a man in my life. This I know.

Hey, Universe, I get it. I am a perfectly smart, classy, beautiful and  independent female! Fine! Stop throwing guys my way then!!!! I like kissing too much!!!!

Haha, well I guess it's bound to happen. I see the fate of one if my girlfreinds becoming my own. Living my life with boys on the sidelines. *sigh* wow, ever get those revelations? Where you've seen this lesson before charted out by someone else? And thats just the case. Someone told me....Life over here, in this pyramid, no room for relationships, just the important things in life, and way way over here, there's the opposite sex....not together, way apart-- for now, until they intersect, maybee....at a later time...just not now...

Yup, okay. Fine universe, you win. I'll do boyz way over there and stop making them a cornerstone of my little pyramid in the hierarchy of needs and wants.

This is why my sorrors date guys in NYC. Way across the country, guys can't be everything in your life, right? Well, I'll let you know how it goes...no tears yet, and I don't forsee any coming. You know, (lol) if i know the universe, by tommorow, I'll be stupid over another guy, yet again. Like I've said, I love being in love. This time however....I'm gonna stretch summer out, play by the summer rules; whats good for right now, is good for right now, unitl it isn't good anymore, nothing personal, no hard feelings, just fun. Boyz  now leaving the pyramid....go way over there to your box across the table or on a top shelf.

Bonus!!!Job scenario is improving!!! An email I received today shows the hardwork I put in last semester has paid of with a continued job offer. Hopefully this will be enough to pay rent until I get a "real job"--

Well, that's just a euphemism....

Presence: Some boys you're just bound to collide with. I'm back two days and already I've run into more un-anticipated meetings then I have time, willpower, or care to mention.

Frustrations...well not like I was trying to hide the fact that I was around, but I wasn't trying to publicize it either. I guess volunterring for a huge campus wide event wasn't the smartest thing to do then, right? Oh well, emotions still seem to be in check and that is a conforting notion.

Other Topics:

Job/Money: Still jobless. This is a bad thing because Sorrors have turned me into this shopping, make-up wearning, cute outfit looking type GIRL and I'm learning it takes money and time to look this good. grrrr....

House: I have a bed!!!! a bed a bed a bed. You know me. Where my bed is, Is where my home is and I love having my big-ass, queen size, roll in the sheets, jump till I fall, this bed is mine, all mine, bed. Which....best part, the queen in the bed is me!

Weather: love it!!!!! cloudy...beautiful.

School: The only thing out of place!!! Grr need acceptance into a law course. Yay it's offered on Tuesday not Monday! Joy. but still have tons of other emails I need to be making.

hmmm, mind, body, spirit?  well not exactly sure where any of these are. I've lost my mind in falling for a boy. my body, health wise is in a state of allergic reaction to the climate, Spirit? well, I've been rejecting that a lot lately, and am probably due for a smudging. grrrr....i need to center. but i am happy, so maybe thats as good as it gets?

Boys: Well, endless encounters, of the not so personal or friendly type I guess, but what-ev. Scenarios sometimes are not condusive to anything more than a hello.

"My Man": Grrr....not giving him a title. Just interesting having someone refer to him as that...."well, he's your man"--like I bought him at the boy store...

(*Me talking to sales consultant at boy store)

I'll take that one, light blue eyes, as usual, height above average, I've been renting this one for a while, kind of gottenattatched so I'll think I'll just keep him? Final payment, just my heart and singlehood, okay? and $10.50 in taxes, okay. Thanks so much. No, no, I don't need him girftwrapped. What he's wearing is fine. Oh yes--I understand no warranty, I'll take him as is. Thanks!

Quote of Yesterday: "Tut tut. It looks like rain."

My funny saying/thoughts, responding to his day "in a nutshell" 

"Well it sounds like a very complicated nut."

A lot of words and nothing to say...

I'm 23 and the world has indeed changed. To begin...23 is--as C says,--being "18 with 5 years experiance."

Cousin Ray, did let me go home with someone...drunk! The scariest feelings ever is to know you've allowed yourself to become absolutely vulnerable. To know you've lost the ability to fight if you need to. VERY fortunately, the guy that took me home was decent enough to finally leave me alone after my saying NO, STOP, and I'M DRUNK for the 100th time....that; and perhaps he knew he was a scream away from my cousin killing him. Fortunately, they were friends and  my cousin had keys to his house and followed us to the house where we were "All going for more fun"--yeah---fun.  NE-ways drama I'm glad was over when it was and hopefully never to be repeated. Worse thing ever though is to know I allowed it to happen...that I never cut myself off---it was no ones responsibility but my own, and I know now I could have really paid the price for this one transgression....

On a more current and upbeat note...storage unit is opened tommorow and the move begins. Today we searched frantically for the keys to the unit, but came up empty handed, but did get rid of a lot of unwanted memories.

Memories....I don't know why I hold onto them...here I am at this moment listening to a cd, I can't seem to let go of. The emotional attatchment anyways. It sucks when music is tainted by memories. That forever in your mind will be an imprint of his head on your shoulder or the feeling you got when you heard a song and you just knew it summed up everything you felt at the moment you had no words for. I've renamed this cd time and again in my head, and now I question my intentions to ever give it away...

Memories are the past aren't they???? *SIGH*****

Let's talk about the present? The new housemate makes a bold statement yesterday..."Don't fall in love---JUMP!"  Haven't I always? I wish I could write a "play-by-play"  on where I am right now but somethings are meant for your heart and your heart alone.  The horoscope seems to be accurate today...

Leo July 23-Aug. 22 Leo Change seems to be defining your current landscape. There's more going on than meets the eye, for you don't necessarily see the completed transformations. Your desires are pushing toward getting certain needs fulfilled. Self-control is not currently part of the equation, for your impulses are dominating your psychic landscape. You'll need to express yourself, but try to do it in a way that has lasting value rather than immediate impact.

I'm upset with myself for holding on the way I do, but somehow feel vindicated knowing I'll come out stronger in the end.  Vindicated knowing this music is truly no ones and that the meanings and memories burnt to a simple disc can be changed, forgotten, or re-created with or by new people...

New people....it scares me so much.  I am terrified of whats emerging in my life; scared of the unknown and the risk my tired battered heart takes each time it aches to be lost to another. It bothers me to know I love being loved.

For once things are going to be different though...I feel it. As T would say, "I know it." It really is going to be the happiest I've ever let myself become. The only risk I know that lingers on now is the risk of it ending. And I can deal with that...everythings got to end...even this summer...I have to let it go...I have to be happy.

Wow, even thinking of him makes me smile. I mean I can't screw this one up, lol! Being me is what he loves. Grey sweats, no make-up, hair messed up. Tight dress, made-up, hands in his hair. It's all the same in the end. And I don't love him for loving me...no it's not like the others...no...I just, well, that's just it, I really don't have to explain. For once, the words that I depend on to vent and express, are just ---lacking?

Rainy Days, Crazy nights

Okay, I so deserve tonight; and I'm going all out. Oh yes....the man I love and respect is telling me to go get crunk, get laid, and be happy. Of course he is kidding, but it is the thought that counts ;-)

Cuz Ray is taking me to places I've never been and it promises to be wild. C says I shouldn't wake up till my National Board meeting tommorow. It's my birthday; so I'm thinking why not? No better way to start the day *12 am to be exact* then with a little scandal.

In all reality though, I still hold to being responsible with myself this evening. It's not like Ray ever lets me go home with anyone, but tonight I at least know me and him won't have that discussion this time 'round.

Friends seem on the up. My 14yr old goddess of a sister is continuing her "Birthday month"--which makes me very happy. And I--I am getting a little older in an hour and a half. To be twenty-three? Where are all my Blink-182 Freinds when I need them?

i guess nobody really does like you when you're 23?

Sadly, in this one moment I have realized I am spending yet another birthday away from the people I love....Yes, I'll be with family....but the people that love me, and don't have to????the Ladies who throw me surprise parties that I don't go to, the guys that take me out to Village Inn, the guy that never really calls but always has a gift....(no pressure C--you just have a good track record)--*Sigh, but I'll make up for that next weekend too.

Plans are in full swing for traveling...trucks checked out, boxes are packed, my emotions are in check, so I think I'm ready....On the other hand, you ever get the feeling like, you know you have everything ready to go, but the universe is just dying to throw something at you? Well, it's a new Lambda Manda year, and as C says, Worrying is like a rocking chair, it occupies your time, but gets you nowhere.

So listen up...as the clock turns midnight- y'all, tip your glass, make a wish, and think of me. I'll have you in my hearts...till I write as a 23 yr old...The summers not really over.....Besos. 

Don't know why....

Well, staying with my Daddy. Chillin' on the couch and contemplating spending  a few hours of day dreaming in our pool. Been a little freaked out recently for a lot of reasons. Lambda-ness has kept me responsible and I'm feeling more and more like I am a true authoritive figure. Been being the "big sister" to all the siblings, so much in fact that I called one sister by the wrong name....let me tell you, its worse than saying the wrong name in bed....not that I've ever done that?

Speaking of beds....grrrrr.....staying solo for a while I think. Not because I think the offers aren't there; but, for sanity, self-respect, a little patience...the respect of what it means to share that with someone. Maybe something I've forgotten and should re-aquaint myself with. *sigh, Spirit works in unknown ways, but always a lesson....hard as they may be.

Rather than be bitter at life or boys or girls or anyone for that matter, I'm learning to love deeper and trust more than ever before. It's amazing that I can say that given my circumstances lately but...well, forgive if possible, learn if ready.

The most beautiful thing, happened....my 14 year old crush, who finally moved on with his life and is now dating a girl he will be seeing this week (GO M)....Well n-e-ways, M, he came by to come see me, just me, the sis wasn't there. but just came to say hi, and that he wanted to say goodbye before I left. Isn't that beautiful? I thought so.

Speaking of love, it seems to be happening all around me. J, has decided to put away his pimp cap, and settle down with a girl for as temporary or lasting as it may be....a notion I truly admire and hope to learn from as well.

I'm learning to love the people who have asked me for friendship as just that, friends. Some I think need it more now than ever; and are making the calls I still pick up; while others---- I wish I could show them how truly I do care for them, just seem to be unwilling to let that relationship develop.

Which goes to the last and probably most personal and hidden topics of my life right now---loving the friend. Neverland becomes forever more a dream replaced by an even better reality.

I've begun to count the days till I leave this place of heat behind me, but still question what awaits me. There are no longer what-ifs, or a laundry list of fears, but meerly the anticipation of what might be. (J-low, shares this reality, and understands the love I have behind this statement deeper than anyone I think.  ---I picture the tatoo on my back and the symbolism of how naked I truly have become....We're beautiful aren't we?)
