princess gots some work to do
i suppose things are falling into place.
it's a strange thing, growing up. i'm going to be 19 next month. not sure how i feel about that. i'm still so completely lost when it comes to what i want to do with my life and... you know, i like knowing these things. i like having things in order and making it all fit into pretty glass cases.
oh well. my birthday is another excuse to drink and smoke and do other drugs. you can come if you want.
this weekend is going to be madness. madness, i tell you! i think after monday hits, i'm going on a personal vacation, a tiffany retirement. i drove home and back this morning after my art history lecture. i had to pick up my prom dress and a tiara... oh, you know, the usual.
so let's see... after seeing reggie and the full effect tonight and drinking like a fish, i'm going to drive to los angeles to take notes at lacma and come home to write my art history paper. in the middle of that, i'm going to take pictures for my elaborate, detailed, wonderful art project narrative. and have my digital pictures printed by monday.
that's why i have a tiara. and an apple. and a magic mirror. it should be fun?
i hate school. i think i'm going to pop. if i make it to monday and get everything done, pour me a drink!

how motherfucking appropriate.
i'm trying not to be angry. and seeing how i have more than enough to deal with this week, i'm trying not to think about it. i'm trying to find a place to live. i'm trying to get good grades. i'm trying to be a decent person. so if he calls me, i'll try not to be too pathetic and i'll try to work it out.
but he's not going to call me. and if i call him i'll just be bothering him. because, as proved, i am the ever-pressing burden to him and he's rather we'd never met.
i don't get it. if you can make someone happy and you'd make yourself feel better, why wouldn't you? but no. he's stubborn.
fuck it. i'm going to watch the godfather trilogy instead. i need to see more blood and death to match my mood. my word of advice for today... don't you ever, and i mean, ever trust a boy except for your father, it gets you nowhere. they just leave you out in the cold right after they tell you that they love you.
and they make you cry. and they make you expect things that they'll never be able to give you. and the whole time they make you think that you're special, that you're loved until some arbitrary moment they throw everything back in your face.
oh, no, not some arbitrary moment, actually... valentine's day. the one day a year that makes you feel like death if you're alone? yeah, that one. worse timing could only be my birthday. and seeing as how that's a month or so away it's pretty fucking close to that.
so happy fucking valentine's day to me. because every day that you're alive and ignoring me is another reason to hurt.
so fuck you. i hate you.
but i don't really. i was the one waiting for his call. the one he never made but said he would. how motherfucking appropriate.

apples
i'm okay, i guess. i spent my three day weekend at home doing nothing. and i guess that sometimes people need to do that. but i didn't want to do that. and i suppose i've gone and ruined everything again. okay. for lack of better pictures, like, you know, the kinds that have people, i've provided you with my ballet slipper pink polished nails, my new $10 dr. scholls (do i know how to shop or what), and my new diesel watch. so take that. when i'm sad i eat (or i refuse to eat), i shop, and i shop.
i decided that maybe i should look into lesbianism and... try to discover it within myself. at least i can borrow her clothes and she won't win all the tickle fights, rendering me useless. then it dawned upon me that i've always enjoyed the color chartreuse. "why don't you marry it?" yes. then we can have little apple babies and make apple pies together. the granny smith won't yell at me or make me cry, and if he does i'll eat it and get a new one from the fridge.
scarlett crushed my dreams with, "but you know what happened to snow white, don't you?"
the bittersweet sounds echo everywhere
and you're falling from me, but you still care
if i could show you everything i see
you would stop wondering what's wrong with me
but i know what's wrong
i just can't get out of bed
the happy pills that make me dead all day
can't make me happy to be awake
i'll die a sweeter death once i'm alive
to be someone smiling, to feel like i'm home
for another year to get back on my feet
you paint in colors i can't see
but still you're drowning
drowning in black and white with me
and all i wish
you'll leave before i ever do
'cause i'm blind
enough now to almost ruin you
and never know.
