    Everybody, Here Goes Nothing

    I've been sinking, going lower and lower on this downward spiral, so close I can almost feel the gorund. How much more of this shit can I take? I just want to leave more than anything, get out of this town, away from these people, away from my life. I hate everything about it. I hate my friends. I hate my life. I hate my school. I hate my body. I hate my family. I need to get out. I need a break. I need to leave.

    Halloween was friday. A night of nonstop drinking and partying in clothes that worn any other day, would have been worn with names attached like skank, slut, and whore. Yes they are skanky, but it's fun. It's a night of being someone you're not, a night to escape your unsatisfactory life and for one night, do what the regular you would never do. I wasnt in the mood to party all week though, and hadn't had time to find a costume, so after talking to my sister who I never seem to see anymore because she's so busy with colleges and shit, she asked me if i would forgo my plans and go get dinner with her. I was fine with it. She had swim practice before and then we were gonna go. Time comes  around, it's 8 and she comes down in a football jersey with the black lines and says she's going out. I call her a bitch and walk away in disgust,a nd she calls back why are you so pissed. really? did you really just ask that? i'm pissed cause you asked me to hang and we never see each other at all anymore!!

    I was pissed but it was still whatever. My friend matt was coming over later and i was finally gonna hookup, after almsot four months of nothing bc i've been so busy with school and soccer and super random hookups arent my thing. I'm just watching tv, he said he'd call before he came, when my parents call me in. they tell me my grandfather has really bad skin cancer and is going to have to have most of his face cut off in order to get all the cancer, and then they tell me that he asked the doctors how long he would have if he didnt ahve the surgery, his vanity getting in the way of his health. He is 82 years old, so i guess that is a fair question and it's not fair for me to get so annoyed, but i can't handle that. i'm turning 16 in 16 days, not 40. i'm not mature enough to take that. i went up to my room, layed down on my bed, and cried myself to sleep. when i woke up, shivering because i forgot to turn the heater on, i look at the clock and it's 2:30. i open my phone and see that i have 3 missed calls from matt and a few messages. fantastic. basically i sat home on halloween and did nothing. wow, sweet. to make things better, i have a text message from oen of by best friends saying how she really didn't say what i thought she did and how i'm a bitch for thinking taht shit all the while i'm thinking to myself YOU SAID IT TO ME, I DIDNT HEAR IT THROUGH OTHER PEOPLE SO OBVS I KNOW WHAT I HEARD! i hate people who try to take things back by denying them. come clean you fucktard ! so grandpa's dieing, no plans on halloween, and fight with best friend, wow isn't life dandy?

    saturday practice in morning, not talking to best friend whole time. she's guesting on the team, didn't make it first time around, and she's bombing this practice so i'm getting secret enjoyment out of this, as pathetic as it is. not only is she playing like shit, but she's alone and not talking to anyone. agian i know i'm terrible, but i love it. after practice go and fundraise and have an ok time. county finals for soccer after with a few friends then i need a ride home so i call my mom. she bitches at me that she doesnt wanna go out but finally decides to come after i say that i'll just walk home along the highway. this is maybe the first time this week i've been in her car, and the like first time ina few moths i've asked for a ride. it's 7:30, so it's not even like it's late. speech in car blah blah blah.

    sunday, i have a church service about my confirmation. my sponsor or a parent is suppose to go with me, but my grandma lives in florida so that's out of the question, and my dad is tailgating before the giants game, getting trashed with his golf buddies, and my mom is at my sister's swim meet for the second day in a row, even though she is perfectly capable of driving herslef. i have to go sit and listen to a priest preach about a God i don't believe in with my ccd teacher, as everyone else is there with their parents and grandparents. wow thats fair? i get home and at this point i'm so fed up with the bullshit in my life, that i precede to drink a handle of vodka. i don't drink. i'll have a beer occaisonally but i'm such a light weight, one is enough to make me almsot pass out, and i hate the taste. i've had sips of vodka before, not wanting any really becuase it tastes like shit. but i go into my dads wine celler, grab it, and start chugging that thing, ignoring the burning sensation in my throat. i use gatorade as a chaser and then enjoy the high i get from the alcohol. still upset, i grab scissors and attempt to cut myself, something i've never ever done or thought of doing before this. and here i am now, still buzzed but with a nagging headache, throbbing wrists, and a shitload of homework due tomorrow.

    i don't know how much longer i can do this.

  • You're Crying Oh So Loud

    But No One Hears Your Sound How Pathetic our world is today: everyone knows about what predicament britney spears has gotten in lately, whether it be shaving her head or gaining weight, or lindsay lohan and what rehab facility she's in now or when she got rushed to the hospital. Everyone's read those trashy teen novels like gossip girl or the clique or even harry potter to an extent, but today, basically no one has read the classics like the invisible man by h.g. wells or catcher in the rye by j.d. salinger or even the great gatsby, a book that is so relevant to life today, by f scott fitzgerald. It's when you hear of someone getting expelled for smoking a joint in the bathroom and start thinking ' how'd the dumb ass get caught ' instead of 'why the hell would you do drugs?' Now, hears a shocker for all you pop culture obsessed, mtv hooked, pathetic druggies : you're not the only people living in this world ! There was a cyclone in myanmar on sunday. The death toll as of today is over 22,000, with 41,000 still missing. That's a hell of a lot of people, and almost everyone i'd brought that up with today was like whatt ? what's a cyclone and isn't myanmar a basketball player for rutgers? Sorry, but MAYA MOORE plays for UCONN not rutgers and a cyclone is a tropical storm . It's pathetic that you have idiots who haven't heard about this. It's also depressing because these are the kids taht are going to be leading our country some day. What has the world come to?

  • And Now That I'm Strong I Have Figured Out

    by theescape on May 06, 2008
    How This World Turns Cold And It Breaks Through My Soul Sooo lots have happened . P invited me to mcr / tbs / drive by concertt and i REALLLY want / wanted to go but when telling my mom, she asked if he liked me or something (mother thinks if you hang out with a boy, you like him or he lieks you, dad thinks the boys just horny ;; neither know i've even had a boyfriend or even talked to a boy for that matter, keep that part of my life on the dl with them), and it got me thinking, maybe he still does. Talked to him, said that again, we would never be more because i don't see him that way anymore, long story short doesn't want me to go to concert avec lui anymore. In a weird way i'm proud of myself. normally, i would have probably just gone and you know, possibly hooked up with him or just used him for the free tickets then end up flirting with someone else in teh group i.e. his hottt bro or some random dude at the concert, and end up hurtign him more by not considering his feeligns. Yes, i kinda fucked him over by basically breaking up with him cause he thought we were together butt w/e. i was mature about it, and for that reason, i am very proud of myself :)

  • When Everything Feels Like the Movies,

    by theescape on April 23, 2008
    Yeah You Bleed Just To Know Your Alive Things that I'm currently wondering ... Is it normal to think about suicide? I would never kill myself, but I do think about it. I wouldn't kill myself because it would kill my parents and the few people I do love, and also because life is so precious. There are thousands that die each day that would kill for just one more day on earth, and i just sometimes wonder why God left me on the earth and people like me who at times, take life for granted, but takes away the lives of those so young and hopeful. I try not to do things i don't want to, and ask anyone I know, I'm famous for speaking my mind, but things just don't makes sense. Why did my cousins get taken away from their mother, family, and friends while there are people out on the streets still living, who murder people left and right as well deal drugs to kids? Next question, is it right to support things just because or should you actually believe in the cause? Liek today, in school, they had a day of silence to fight for gay and lesbian rights. Well, hell, i'm all for gays, lesbians, bisexuals, straights.. it's just a label. I think if two people love eachother then they should be together, no matter what. Love is so rare that whenever or however it is found, you should hold on to it. But anyway, for the day of silence you wore a tye dye shirt if you were participating and didn't have to be called on or talk, but then during fire drills and at lunch, people who were partcipating were talking. Most of the people participating could really care less about the cause but just wanted a day without talking, and that got me thinking. YOu know how you get money taken off your taxes or whatever if you donate money? well, does it matter if the people only donate for the tax exemptiion and not because they support the cause? i can think of reasons to support both sides like if they're just donating to donate for things like gay lesbian rights, then their relationships won't work because people may still be agaisnt it, defeating the purpose. But then for things like cancer research, even if oyu don't believe in it, the money will help tremendously. Sooo confusingg !! last thing for today, how many people out there feel as alone and ostracized from society as I do? I'd ask people straight out but that just makes you look weird. I wish i could, but i'm not that strong. I sincerely admire those who can go against the flow of normal society, not just to be different like some obviously do, but because they truly feel/think that way.

  • new beginnings / endings .

    by theescape on March 30, 2008
    I went to colorado for spring break and met the most amazing guy ever. Rewind. Fast Forward. P (from below) broke up with his girlfriend and said he still wasn't over me. I said that i would think about getting back together. A is just out of the picture, never made a move, I'm not sure about how i actually felt. P went to cancun with some friends for spring break, I went to colorado, decided we would talk when we are both home. He comes home tomorrow. And now for the shocker ... I'm head over heels in L-O-V-E and I don't even know his last name. Isn't it grandd ? i've never felt so wonderful in my life. His names colin and he's from chicago and besides a few minor facts thats all i know. I don't know if I'm completely pyscho or what. We had one or two conversations and honest to god, i would marry the kid if he named a time and place.he has my number and hasn't called, and you know what, I'm a bit disappointed but not extraordinarily upset. You know why? becuase i know there is something out there, something greater then you and I, something that's worth living for. Maybe what me and colin had wasn't love, but it was more then what I've ever had between me and p, or a, or any other guy for that matter. He puts life into me. He makes me feel alive! i can't explain the feeling, but it's like when he looked at me, the room dimmed and nothing else mattered. we were two people, connected. So cliche but it's true. i don't care if i ever see or hear from him, as long as the feeling is out there, i have something to live for. maybe we'll meet up again, maybe we won't, but i don't care, it's in destiny's hands. all i know is there's something else out there, more then i've felt before, and i'm not settling for anything else. When P comes home tomorrow i'm going to tell him exactly this, "I am in love with love." even if what i'm feeling isn't love it's something greater then what i have now. And colin, if by some chance you're reading this, yes i am crazy, and i felt something insane with you. Shane said that he thinks that we connected, and it was obvious to him. not so obvious to you obviously (it's been two days, no call yet!), but don't worry. you don't have to call, don't feel obligated, just thank you for showing me something more. just don't hold my psychotic actions against me. i realize we don't know each other like at all but i felt something, thanks for showing me it.

  • You're moving but not aware

    by theescape on February 07, 2008
    You're drowsy without a care so I had a complete meltdown today in chorus . i just started crying and couldn't stop. i get these like once every two or so months but never in school. it's when everything just builds up and i can't take it anymore. i just snap and start crying. i forgot to get a pass for my absence a week ago and because it was after two days they wouldn't give me one and it would be counted as a cut by my teacher. i talked to her and she was really nice about it and said she trusted me and that she would make an exception this time and not submit it. then i started crying. she was freaked out but really sweet and was like 'it's ok, just breathe' and took me into her office thing and told me to sit there until i was ready to come back out. no one in the class really noticed and i wouldnt care if they did either. i was just stressed out. why you ask? well ... i hate westfield ... i wanted to leave and go to private school so bad but my parents were like no, you don't need to. i told them i was suffocating and all the extra drama was too much and i needed to get out and start over. but again, they said no and i'd just have to work it out. i hate school ... my dad went to harvard. enough said. he wants straight fucking a's, all honors/ap classes that are availible, and doesnt care what i want. i said i think that i want to study psycology in college and take some electives like anthropology and sociology. he looked at me and laughed, kissed my forhead, and asked me why i'd wanna do something silly like that. i dont know if i'm over reacting but if thats what i want to do shouldnt he support me and at least let me try to see if thats what i want to do? but noo, i'm going to study liberal arts or buisness in school. wow. suits meetings and a lot of money for screwing everyone else in the world, whats not to love? i hate my family ... sometimes, not always. but i'm the middle and i dont wanna be like waa waa wa lifes so unfair, no body loves me but i do get the least amount of attention. it seems like my mother would rather throw money at me then have to deal with my wants and needs. i get like $100+ dollars a month, and don't get me wrong i am very thankful for it but i'd trade it in if they could just be liek every once in a while what do you want? or you're right, you are having a hard time, is there anything i can do to help? or so what's up with you today, but asking and really wanting to know the answer. my mom got botox today, don't get me wrong shes not like a botox/plastic surgery barbie doll, this was her first time, btu she comes in and goes on the computer and starts playing spider solitaire and watching house hunters. i told her about my meltdown, and she said well thats too bad, you need to learn to control yourself. WTF ! YOU'RE DAUGHTER IS SO STRESSED OUT THAT SHE BROKE DOWN IN SCHOOL AND STARTED CRYING ! PRETEND YOU'RE INTERESTED AND ASK WAHTS WRONG. i hate soccer ... my teams one of the top five teams in new jersey. it's intense, and i love soccer, but it seems like it isn't a sport any more. it's 'play or die' or 'play every game liek it's your last' and 'play to win' and 'you can always give more'. you know what, no, you can't always give more. you shouldn't make it more than a sport. my mom wants me to play in college, i say no, she says i'm not expecting you to play division one but division two or three, you'd have fun. I SAID NO. LISTEN TO ME FOR ONCE PLEASE. but no she cant, too busy planning the rest of my life for me with my dad. i hate my friends ... ok not hate but most of them piss me off and i cant stand to spend too much time with them. the only person who i could ever really tell my problems to who would listen and then give me a hug and say ' you know what a, everythings gonna be ok, and im gonna be right by your side making sure it is,' was p. and hes out of my life. i can't let him back in because i'll just fall again. i can't and i won't. i told my friend a about how i liked a (different person) and she laughed, and said yeah ok. she doesnt understand me. dont get me wrong, she tries, she really does, btu she doesnt get me. i told her about my meltdown and instead of being like ' are you ok now? whats wrong? tell me everything' she was just like 'i'm sorry i didnt know'. maybe my expectations are too high. idk but between helping her seduce g and figuring out all her problems, i've looked for the same help in return. my life isnt as terrible as others have it and i know that. i live a charmed life, but people only see the surface of it and judge me from that. i don't have it easy. sure i live in an upper middle class town and my family does have money but that doesnt make my life easy. it doesnt make my life perfect. it doesnt mean anything.

  • There's a story at the bottom of this bottle

    by theescape on January 30, 2008
    and I'm the pen their officially going out. he keeps texting me and commenting my facebook, but i won't answer, at least i hope i won't. I've deleted his number from my phonebook but it seems i've memorized his number in teh past two years. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel and his names a. i have two classes with him and for a while did not even consider him as anything, friend or other. he's not my type at all. i usually go for older and better looking and more jackass like. don't get me wrong, he's not ugly but he's one of the nicest guys i've ever met. he's not a saint either but hes jsut amazing. everyone says all we do is flirt but i dont know if i want to have anything with him besides beign friends. reason(s) being : 1) I just got out of an on and off 2 year relationship that ended terribly and i don't know if i'm ready for anything serious and don't want to hurt his feelings. 2) i ruin guys. once i get bored i either dump them or treat them like shit and then dump them later. i don't do it on purpose, i just find every reason to make my actions seem legit but then later look back and realize how mean i actually was. 3) he's good friends with one of my bests and i know she liked him at one point and i don't want to put their relationship in an awkward spot. 4) i have this 'rule' about guys from the same town that go to the same school. i mean i have a reputation to uphold and not that i'm a slut or anyhting which i totally am not but i dont like the whole school gossiping about whats going on. i like them knowing jsut what i tell them and with someone from the same school it's impossible to keep it on the DL. s says i'm just making excuses and taht she thinks i should just go for it because he obviously likes me to but idk . i'm not sure its fair to go into a relationship when i'm carrying so much baggage. but we'll see. a bunch of us are going out to dinner on friday and i think he's going. kinda nervous though, it's not really my group of friends, but then again i dont really have one as of last june. but we'll see

    systematic overflow . the way i feel. it seems i'm being pulled in more directions then my body can go. between the pressures of my parents, my coaches, my teachers, and even my friends to be things i'm not. it seems these days that my face is getting more and more tired of forcing a smile. everything i have been delt in the past year, from the death of my cousins during the summer to the loss of best friends in june to getting cheated on by my boyfriend, who for the longest time was my vent. he kept me going. he cleared my head. i needed him. as much as i hate to admit it, i needed him. I NEEDED HIM SO MUCH. and now i see him with her. talking with her. kissing her. leaving with her. i can't take it. i promised my self i would never need a man, i would never cry over a boy, i would never be played a fool by a boy. a stupid stupid boy. i wish i had just kept things simple. in the summer, just fooling around, nothing really. i thought i was in control, i thought i had the upperhand. it was excatly how i wanted things to be. but then he wanted to be more, he wanted more, he needed more, but i didn't know. but i said yes. why did i say yes? because somewhere along the line i had fallen in love. now here i am, alone once more. life is better, uncomplicated, with no feelings involved. and yes i know i'm young, and to be young and in love is a troublesome duo, and a lie. or at least i thought it was, until he left. or was i in love? i feel as though i was, or why else would i feel as though he's stamping on my heart everytime he looks at me. when he says we need to talk, we need to be friends. does he understand how close to tears i am whenever the thought of him comes up, the feeling of his lips against mine, the lingering of his fingertips on my skin, the image of him and her. he said it wasn't planned. is that suppose to make me feel better?
