i should stop complaining so much. i lead a bloody charmed life, and i wouldn't have enough time to write my english paper tonight if i counted all my blessings.

is this a resolution? no. too weak. just a reminder.

"i just need to be heard."

whenever i start to write something on here, i almost always am tempted to make that my title. i really only write when i need to be heard. and i wonder... why do i need to be heard?

if i really want to be heard, why am i afraid to speak truthfully and clearly?

self-protection, i guess. you never want to incriminate yourself, and it's polite not to incriminate those around you. and everyone is watching. and everyone is talking. am i paranoid? yes. but i'm also right. it's for this reason that i think the "friends-only" function of livejournal is stupid. who are you hiding from, making your posts friends-only? only those who aren't reading your livejournal anyway. the ones you need to be careful about are the ones who are your friends. your friends-only, only friends. because they are watching, and they are talking.

this wasnt supposed to start out so cynical. i dont feel that cynical. i've accepted the fact that this is what goes on. people are just curious. sometimes it's even because they care. you just have to be careful, i guess. figure out who you can trust--strangely, ive found those people are not the ones i would think they would be.

so i worry. i worry about everything. but i worry about writing. every word i put onto my monitor is full of doubt and worry--this is terrible. people are reading this, what are they thinking? are they judging me? are they realizing what bullshit this is? is it bullshit? of course. everything i write is trite bullshit. i have no choice. i'm a postmodernist. a pessimist. and a really terrible writer.

i'm not a pessimist, really. i think. i vascillate. i think.

who was it, that said "know thyself"?

i dont care, honestly. im not even that desperate about knowing myself. i used to know a guy who was bloody insistent that it was important to understand one's identity. he was wrong. he overanalyzed it, as he did most things. he was miserable. i bet he still is.

i guess maybe i think about my self a lot. maybe i even think about myself a lot. probably. but i dont worry about it. i just wonder. i consider. i plan, maybe just a little. and i remember.

i'm freezing up. i am afraid. and i really dont think anyone cares. dont bother to refute, it doesnt bother me. im paranoid enough to not believe you anyway.

i'm not as upset as i sound. i love life. really.

music: disintegration

it's just...

it never ends.
and everyone is so sick.

enough.

Dj Atari I: stop having bad days.
Dj Atari I: that's what you should give up for lent.
Dj Atari I: bad evenings.

he's right.

thank you, marc, for wishing me well and always being patient.

too many bad evenings these days, this among them. my feet are numb, which means i cant feel them hurting from work tonight. they are too cold.

i work too much. and you will say, 'hey, more money.'

I HATE MONEY.

it just makes me worry. next week i'm going to go out and blow it all on fancy underwear. no, really. sunny and i are going to go shopping. like girls. because we just can't take it anymore.

thank you, sunny, for listening to me.

school is terrible. i don't want to talk about it.

thank you, mukul, for always asking and never telling. i know it's because you're looking out for me.

i wish i weren't so paranoid. it makes it hard. it's hard enough, really. i just worry, and it just escalates til i can't stand it. and what's worse is i can't dismiss my delusions, because i go, wait, what if i'm right? what a cycle.

thank you, john, for confiding in me.

and there is something important:

one should never think she acts independently. people around her are affected by her actions.

this is something i never considered seriously before tonight. before i found myself affected. i should be more careful about this myself.

beware! and
beware! and
beware!

be aware.

music: morrissey- he knows i'd love to see him.
(morrissey is the voice of my teen angst. no, really. you can all keep your conor oberst.)
