  • "So now you're calling me up on the phone...

    so you can have a little whine and a moan,
    and it's only because you're feeling alone."
    -Smile, Lily Allen

    So there's this boy (oh dear, here we go again). Actually he's my ex from about two years ago. He broke up with me because he met someone else and "had a change of heart." I could understand that, I'd been through it myself. When we broke up he wanted to stay friends, and God knows he tried, but I couldn't go from being together to just being friends, so I told him to just give me some time. Long story short, I finally got in touch with him about a year and a half after we'd broken up, which was this summer. He had a girlfriend. AND he lived in Seattle. This was my insurance that things would stay strictly platonic. All of a sudden, he breaks up with his girlfriend, and about a month ago, he moved back to El Paso. FML. There went my buffer zone of several states of separation. I had no problems being friends. Honestly, I missed his friendship and his sarcasm, but that was it. All of a sudden, he's calling me "babe" randomly. Then he calls me, and wants directions to my house, but I flat out refused. You don't just show up to my house unannounced. That's a privilege reserved for very few people. He kept bugging me about hanging out and wanting to see me, so I finally agreed and we just kinda hung out at the mall. It was okay, it wasn't awkward and amazingly I no longer felt that intimidation I felt when we were together. I didn't have to be super nice, I could finally just be myself, which is someone that I was always afraid to show him because I didn't want him to leave, and yet he did anyway. But since there's no longer that fear, I can completely just be myself. As we were waiting by the car just talking, I was sitting down, he came over and got a little too close for comfort. Then, when I was going to leave, he gave me a hug, one which I thought lasted a little longer than what is apropriate for friends, and I had a feeling he was going for something else... but I got in my car and left.

    I've been told to always listen to your instinct, and mine is telling me he wants to get back together. I will forgive anything, but I don't give second chances, not to ex-boyfriends who already had their chance. I hope he gets the hint, hopefully all the times I've been blowing off will show him I'm not intersted. I can't figure out if some guys are dense, or just refuse to get a hint
  • 25 Things

    Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.
    Uh...I tag anyone who reads this...?

    1. I'm still scared of the dark. I don't like dark rooms, especially in my house, or being outside when it's dark

    2. I can't sleep with my closet door open or have any part of my body hanging of my bed when I sleep, cause I freak out and think something's going to get me.

    3. I'm not as smart as people think, I can just remember things really well.

    4. I have almost no common sense. Simple problem solutions that would occur to most people don't to me, for some reason I always end up doing things the harder way cause I never think of the easy way. Especially when I cook...

    5. I have really crazy dreams and I've had almost every weird experience. I've fallen down, I've flown, I've been a vampire (haha), I've had about 20 where the world ends, but I've only had one where I actually died. And almost dying is a lot worse than completely dying for some reason.

    6. I get deja vu a lot. So much that I now believe my subconscious is living on different plane that is happening in the future, and when I get deja vu, it's the memory of my subconscious of things that already happened. Except that when I do get it, I'm always expecting something crazy to happen, because that's how I remember it, except nothing ever does, which makes me wonder what's going on in that other universe...?

    7. I've never been one to be attached to my phone. Half the time I don't even know where it is, which is why it takes me an hour to reply back sometimes

    8. I love music that has good lyrics more than anything, which is why I gravitate towards indie music, it seems to be more meaningful than mainstream stuff.

    9. I was raised catholic, but I stopped believing in organized religion about 3 years ago. Only because I'd been debating it since I was about 14, until I finally realized what it was I didn't believe in.

    10. On that note, I still believe in God and probably have more faith than those people that go to church 5 times a week. But I call it spirituality instead of religion.

    11. I chew my nails. I've tried to stop about a million times but I've accepted that fact that I never will and that it's a nervous habit.

    12. The reason I can read so fast is because I've trained my mind to skip over the small words, like the, and, as, if, of, all those, so my brain only pics up the words that matter to the story

    13. Thirteen is my favorite number =]

    14. I love to cook. Mostly because I'm a really picky eater, and if I cook, I know exactly what went into my food.

    15. Adding to that (cause I'm running out of things to say), I want to have my own restaurant at some point, when I'm a little older and when I can afford to open one. It'll be like my side job between identifying decaying remains =D

    16. I'm an opposite superstitious person. I like Friday's the 13th, walking under ladders, having black cats cross my path, except for the salt thing. For some reason, if I spill some, I gotta throw it over my shoulder

    17. I love forms of self-expression, and since I can't really paint or draw, I use make-up instead, I just paint on my face haha

    18. I also love tattoos and I'm planning on getting about 5. The one I really want is 13 spiders on my ribcage. I also want the ying-yang, the ankh, the Gemini all in a row, the bio hazard symbol, a dragon (I was born in the year of the dragon), faith on my wrist but I'm still thinking of what to put on the other one, and HOPE with "inside all of us is..." inside the O and probably some other stuff I'll think of later =]

    19. I've been wanting to leave El Paso and live in California since I was 13.

    20. I have such weird mood-swings, that I started thinking I was borderline bi-polar

    21. My dream car is a BMW Z4 and I want to eventually get a motorcycle (when I learn to drive one haha)

    22. I'm kind of an adrenaline junkie, I wanna go bungee jumping, hang gliding, sky diving, scuba diving and all that good stuff.

    23. I'm a lot less cynical now than I was in high school. Maybe because I've actually gotten to see the good in some people.

    24. I love the color green because it reminds me of nature, the thing I try everyday to save, even if it's only a little.

    25. And finally, I'm TERRIFIED of dying.

  • Scribbled Numbers

    Write it down,
    write it up.
    Scrawl it on my arm,
    or jot it down on a note,
    these seven numbers,
    a picture isn't the only thing
    that can speak a thousand words.
    Subtlety is vital,
    it's for help,
    it's for just in case,
    the true reason never revealed.
    A hidden message,
    shaded in numbers,
    masquerading as innocence.
    Scribbled on paper,
    typed on a screen.
    Let's exchange these digits
    and never mention the truth,
    the secret of what they mean
    buried beneath the ink.
