Sorry for not posting an entry in a while, no huge breakthroughs have happened since my last upload. 

I saw one of my favourite bands ever in the world live the other night and I'm still reeling from the experience. It was incredible. Best concert of my life, and that is saying something.

I'm home alone for most of the week and that's a pretty terrifying thought. I hate being home alone so much. At least I have therapy in a few days.

Been feeling a little under the weather and really hoping it's not a cold or anything, that it will pass soon. We'll see - usually when I get sick, it hits me HARD for a few days then eases off. Really hoping it's not that because I can not afford to take any time off work right now.

The conservation of sanity

There’s an orchestra of ragged violins playing in my head
The bent strings vibrate in unadulterated anger
It’s a jagged sound—
One I will never get used to,
No matter how many times the chorus starts over

The TV static has leaked from the screen and to my eyes,
Rushing out to each and every vein in my body
I have a half-baked plan:
If I cut down to the fragile bones hidden under my pale wrists
Maybe I can get the buzzing to finally
Stop.

Happy Saturday!

I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!

If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.

all you are is history

what’s with people always assuming something is about them? it pisses me off..a lot. who even says you’re that relevant in someone’s life? and even if (and when) it’s about you, what makes you think you’re so special?

anyways. i hate how i know so much and so little about music. you think i’d be the fucking pop punk know-it-all because it’s all i talk about, but i feel like i know nothing.

i hate that caring so much about music makes me feel immature. i don’t want it to be something i grow out of. but when i hear the artists i look up to talking about how after their teenage years music didn’t mean as much, i can’t help but think it’s inevitable. i get so defensive about music because it’s something i can always turn to. something that’s still there when my nose stings, or when my nails mark my palms, or when my mouth hurts from smiling. so the idea of me not caring about it enough later in life is crazy to me.

i get so defensive about music because a lot of people don’t actually care. whether they only listen because they’re bored or to show off to someone they like. i hate posers

and catch me up

i am SO tired of people who just gained an idea of what real music is trying to tell me i don’t know about music. you literally just found about thursday and expected me not to know them?? i put you onto chiodos, why would i not know thursday? like it genuinely makes me sick. how am i a larp but you were listening to phonk just last year?? i’m getting that ache in my jaw that i always get when i’m angry. now it’s in my shoulder ugh

why would i not know about music when it’s all that i got?

hit me, knock me out, and let me go back to sleep.

heeeyy na na na na

today was okay. there was good and bad, to balance each other out. do you know that feeling when too much good is happening and you *know* something bad is going to happen next? terrible

practice today was kinda sucky. for the first part, i was playing with my friends and the team captain. soo basically practice consists of stretching then playing 'catch' with the birdie. its not really catch but i have no idea what else to call it. see, the idea of catch USUALLY consists of passing something to another person..not spiking said thing towards the ground. so if this concept is familiar to someone who hasn't played a sport since they were six, you would think the fucking team captain would understand it? wrong. so stupid. i stopped playing with them to play with [personal profile] sincerelyloveme, not that it was much better... we both did a bad job today

after practice, i opened up my phone to see that i got a 21/21 on my gov quiz. it brought my D up to a C- which is crazy because getting my grade that high after starting the quarter with a 9% is nearly impossible. thats also one of my highest gov test grades which made me super happy. its also getting warm outside. it feels good until im walking home sweaty and swatting away bugs that are too excited to land on me.

but, i also found out one of my friends supposedly has a crush on me? which is weird because i literally talk to him about OTHER guys all the time. he knows i don't like him like that, so why would he like me? i guess we'll never know because im never going to ask. i wish i could read minds

i haven't felt good with words in a while, maybe i'll feel like writing something dramatic soon.

xoxo

my birthday is coming up in a month, and my sister asked me what i want to do. i want to hang out with my friends like i do every time this day rolls around, but i have a problem. too many people and nowhere to go. never in my life would i have thought i would have too many people to hang out with. im not complaining, but i have no clue what we are going to do.

its a stupid thing to stress about, but this is a milestone. ill be able to drive, and get a real job, and..... thats it. but its still pretty important i guess. even if i dont do something big it will be okay, as long as i receive fob themed gifts heh

Me again, and its another appreciation post for my best friend Alex. 

Any time I mention therapy to my friends, I get mixed responses - L usually says "that's good" or "I hope that's helping" because he's great like that. M doesn't say anything usually. E is usually shyly supportive and T is more outwardly supportive. V has good things to say too, and C is supportive as well. Alex, however, is the fucking best of the bunch.

They ask me questions about it. "How was therapy today?", "Any news on that diagnosis?", "Good on you for getting back into therapy, man." 

They're just awesome. I love and appreciate Alex so dearly. I messaged them after yesterday's session and told them that I'm looking into a diagnosis regarding my hallucinations, and I was subconsciously expecting the same response as I get from most of my other friends: "Oh, sounds good?" But no. Alex cheered for me, asked what happens next, asked what this means for me, asked how I felt. I don't expect that kind of response from the rest of my friends because I'm not as close with them - this isn't a dig at L, E, T, V, or C - but it's so refreshing to have a friend that shows how much they care.

Love ya Alex. 

still around

good and bad news. i made the team, the vending machine stole $2.50 worth of my quarters. other than that my day was great. i hope everyday after practice i get to watch cute guys (and that one girl) play tennis, and maybe drink tea if the vending machine chooses to cooperate.

i want to start writing more, because i only used to write when i was angry. now i barely write because im rarely super angry (or thinking about ugly guys).

i forced my friend to start journaling with me ([personal profile] sincerelyloveme say hi to her). i found this prompt on pinterest and i thought it was interesting, so under the cut is a list of things i would do if i could never fail at anything.
