I just got done reading Portia de Rossi's memoir, Unbearable Lightness. HA! And I thought I liked Wasted... I think I have a new favourite. I really felt like I was often reading about myself. It really did help me more than I could have ever imagined. Lately, I have been really at odds with myself.
I recently went on a not date with my ex. It wasn't really a date, jsut friends, but I am sad to say that, to me, it really truely felt like one. And that hurts more than anything. We were originally going to just go have lunch, but as she usually does, she slept in. So, we went to dinner at friendly's and then saw Tangled. Really good movie. But yea, granted everything I ate later ended up in the toilet, and all through the movie I was resisting the urge to hold her and and more... it was a good time. The weird thing was, she was sending me mixed signals... She kept going on about how her and her bf had broken up. And how, beofre she came over to my house, he asked her when her and I were finally going to have sex. And when I mentioned I really wanted to find someone, like to be with and dateand soemone who wasnt ashamed of me and someone who would be happy to jsut hang out at home rather than have to party, she kept saying how
she
was single. It was all very confusing. And, all day before we got together, I was in such a good fucking mood. Didn't even THINK about food. My sister even commented on my elated mood. Usually, when I see my friends, guy or girl, I will give them a hug, as well as when we part. However, with Kristin, I didn't even touch her all night except the accidental bumping into her... I don't want to read into it, but I cannot help it...
On another note, Yesterday was a very interesting day...
I got back from class, ate three of those personal size bags you get from like say, subway, of spicy sweet doritos. Then, I puked them all up until I was practically puking my stomach up...As I go, I keep finding better techniques to do it. When I was doing it yesterday, my finger was practically halfway down my throat. It was so easy. Grandted it took a bit longer, but it was pretty good otherwise. Well, I guess I wouldn't say good per se. And that happened at around oneish... The rest of the day I couldn't even think about eating. AND i lost more weight. I guess I can tell you guys how much fucking weight I have gained while being with him and then going to school...
The first time I weighed myself after being at school for a montha nd doing drugs for over a month before that, I weighed almost one hundred and fourteen fucking pounds. I practically ran through the wall to get away form that damn scale. I am now, as of this morning, 106.2
I know that is still fucking nasty, but, idea from unbearable lightness, I have stuck index cards on my wall right where I have to look at them all the time, that is each listed with a weight, pound by pound, down to 92. Every time I pass a pound, the card gets taken off. I was so fucking happy to be able to take down the 107 one this morning!
I haven't really eaten anything per se today. I sadly did have a 2 bite size snickers and three bite size reeses santas.... imagine the fucking calories! but that is all. I did have a cup of coffee with one oacket of truvia and 2/3 cup of light vanilla soymilk. It certainly was not as good as the coffee creamer, but did have WAY less calories. about 6o versus prolly at least 100. Tomorrow, I will try it with an extra packet or truvia and maybe that will make it better. Maybe some of those flavour packets that are no calorie for coffee. wow, my coffee is going to be more complex preparation than that of a fucking recipe. :)
I am currently at Panera, using the internet. I am quickly feeling like I am moer a burden than help for them at the place I live. I don't know aht to do. Every time I talk to my landlady person, it feels like she really wants to tell me to get the fuck out of her mothers home but won't because I have no where else to go. When I go home over break for Christmas,I am going to bring a bunch of my stuff back with me and only keep the stuff there that I really need, jsut in case I DO end up getting kicked out, although I don't think they will. Kick me out I mean.
Also, I can't seem to stop cutting. I think I have mentioned this before. But, I have realized if i cut a certain way I can go deeper, more blood, prettier scars, with less pain. It is not about the pain for me. It is more about seeing the blood come and then, when they are all healed, It makes me feel so good to see those scars. Analyze that as you may, but I don't know. everyone I have heard, they usually say it is the pain, that the pain makes them forget, even if for a minute and focus on something else. Not for me. When I am cutting, It is almost like whatever is making me feel that way, It is intensified tenfold. And when I look at that scar, I remember all over again, but then it's like, I get through it and then something else comes along.
A line just popped into my head.
They are the blueprints for my hell.
Tracking my pain across the surface of my self.
Bringing it for all to see. Don't let them see.
She may look all she wants.
She is my heart.
Holding me as I curl up
Alone
With no one to witness
This show they call life.
Wow... I really like that. I was listening to Armor for sleep and a line from Williamsburg caught my attention. Intrigue. This si quite a long post.
Also, about my 'not-date.' She saw the cuts. She say my stomacha nd my arm (although not the new ones. She would probably have freaked out if she were to see what my arm looks like now....) but she saw them, gave me a hug, and that was that. She didn't badger me or give me a pitying look. And for that I am grateful. I am very very grateful.
The thing is, when I went home for Thanksgiving break, something struck me as really odd. I thought for a second that I wasn't going to be able to hang out with Kristin, and I got really upset. However, I had a few opportunities to see who I thought was one of my better firends,even though we ahve only beenf riends for about a year and a half, but I really didn't care. I knew I should have felt bad, but I didn't. I really didn't...
I was afraid that would happen, but I never thought I woould reconnect with my old friends. Some of them anyways. I pretty much deserted them in high school. Well, there's really no 'pretty much' about it. I did. And for that I am ashamed.
Now the food is tempting and it seems to be all I can think of, so that is my cue to leave. Head over to the bookstore. I am in the mood for some good poetry. More tomorrow morning.
Love you all stay strong
