Kaz Otos We all do. Maybe that's too big of a generalization. I know I do. Am I diseased? R.

I love it when I hear that I've made a sad friend smile. The tumblers are drained and then flooded Again and again R.

FallenLeaves Oh my goodness, I'm sorry. I don't often check to see if anyone's referred to me in their journals, so imagine my surprise when I found yours. I'm glad what I wrote spoke to you, for lack of a better term. Sometimes it's better to be alone, rather than following around people you can't stand. I learned that the hard way, and I'm still paying for it. >_< Thanks for taking the time to let me know. =] Today was...not the best. But it was funny, if anything. "Did you know that cunt actually means closet?" "NO WAY. Really?" "AHAHA NO. Imagine that. 'I'm going to go pack some stuff in my cunt.'" Vulgar, yes. Hilarious, yes. I could not stop laughing for the life of me. I'm reading a new book, titled, "...Or not?" I believe it's going to become my bible. I'm only around 60 pages in, but I already find myself relating to the main character in substantial ways. I love books. I love reading. It's an escape. From childhood's hour I have not been As others were; I have not seen As others saw; I could not bring My passions from a common spring. From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I loved, I loved alone... -Edgar Allen Poe R.

Attn RoughGem: YES. THANK YOU. I totally agree with you. I'm glad I'm not the only one. I got my hair cut. It's really short again. I'm happy. It's so much easier to manage. Annndd...GUESS who's going to the Alexisonfire concert on Dec 1! ME, THAT'S WHO. I'm excited, excited, excited. Running up that hill R.

Holy dyna, Shut up and take things into perspective. *Cough* SongMeanings journals are such a bore to read. They're all about the cutting teenage girls of society, whining about their crushes and their troubled lives. Shut up. You're not starving. You're not really lacking anything. You all make me sick. I make me sick. I can't believe I'm turning into one of you Ugh. Come on, let us in. R.

I just got an email that made me happier than I've been in a long time. I'm tired of being held down by my 'best friend.' She's only happy when I'm suffering, or when she thinks she's better than me. She's angry at me because I would rather spend time with my dad (whom I see once or twice on a yearly basis) than at a party for a girl I barely know. She 'didn't want to go alone.' Well, hon, that's tough. You need to learn that you're not the most important person in the world. We're not all going to bend over backwards to make you happy. I'm tired of being a doormat. I just wasn't made for these times. R.

Okay, this is something that makes me furious. I cannot STAND attention whores. Cutting is an issue you keep to yourself. We don't want to hear about it. It's quite obvious you need attention if you're doing it all over your wrists and wearing T-Shirts the next day. Just stop it. Another issue to keep to yourself: Whether or not you go to a counsellor. I don't care if you tell your friends or whatever, but don't bring it up every. Single. Moment. "Oh my counsellor says this...Oh I have to go see my counsellor today...Oh I'm better than you because my counsellor said so." SHUT UP. EVERYBODY JUST SHUT UP. R.
