Saturday Rain


Today I did laundry and stayed inside. Rain is coming down in buckets outside...

D.'s boyfriend just got out of the penitentiary today. She is all so excited about him coming to live in her apartment with her. She has been bragging about how much great sex hes going to give her, and how lucky she is to have finally found a good guy. I didn't say anything negative...I don't want her to feel bad or anything but...
This is literally the fourth prison guy shes written to, and taken into her home. I have sat on the phone with her night after night when shes had to call the cops on them for abusing her. One of them actually dragged her down the street by her hair. When her other friend bitched at her about how stupid she was to still take him back into her home, she complained they were not being a true friend to her. No matter how much I want to tell her how much of a big mistake she is making by letting him come into her home...I wont' do it. Not this time. Ive told her before, and she only thought I was being jealous or nosey.

I don't know what to do about it...I guess its really none of my business. She called today telling me how she wants to buy the new boyfriend all sorts of gifts, and have a baby with him. Shes been desperate to have a baby for many many years now...
I just want her to be happy I guess. So I won't get involved.

In a week or two she will call talking about how hes cheated on her, stolen her money or threatened to beat the crap out of her.

**sighs**


its a vicious cycle unfortunately...

Twice the charm





I spoke with F. for a little while today. I have to admit...I do find him to be very attractive. Hes got this 'Brad Pitt' look going on, except his eyes are a much darker green color and his hair is blonder. So hes like Brad Pitt with dark green eye contacts.
F. always wants to come over to my place and watch movies. Every single time F. and I talk about getting together, he wants to come over to my place. I don't feel comfortable with him in my house all the time. I don't really feel comfortable with any men in my house right now. I would feel better going out to see a movie with him, or maybe to a resteraunt or someplace else. Then maybe a visit or two at my place now and then...but not all the time!

So I decided to just not bother with him.



Hes a liscensed "massage therapist" who makes nice money. Women flock to him, especially rich old women and barbie dolls'. He mentioned giving me a massage. I told him about how my hand was giving me trouble. I do alot of painting on canvas and typing....so my hand muscles get pretty tensed up and achey. I asked him about maybe massaging my hand. He kept on talking about how he needs to have me take off everything to give me a full body massage. I was completely turned off by that. I told him I only needed my hands massaged. Then he mentioned how if hes going to give me a massage, its going to be a "full body" one. So I decided not to get one at all from him. He was so insistant on how it had to be "full body"...
Well, it pissed him off. His ego was crushed to pieces!
Well, I was a little pissed off too. Whats wrong with a simple hand massage? He had also said the massage would be free...Well, a simple free hand massage shouldn't be much trouble right?



He asked to come over to my place this one time. I let him.
He showed up asking if he could smoke some weed in my livingroom, while we watched a movie. I told him no. He kept asking why, and I really had no answer for him other than I didn't want him to.
So then he wanted to smoke it outside, so that my neighbors could see him. He then started being so annoying...He even pulled out a stack of perverted letters girls sent him over the internet. It was such a huge turnoff. I just quietly listened as he went on and on about these freaky letters, and how hot the girls were...and how much they turned him on. I finally politely asked him to leave. Unfortunately, he was so angry he forgot to take his nasty letters with him.



Since that incident, I haven't wanted to see him again. Maybe I was being uptight...or maybe not.

Deep down inside, I had wanted to kiss him. He had such beautiful full lips, and I was so turned on by the scent of his skin...He smelled like he'd just taken a shower, and put on cologne. It was sooo intoxicating!


I felt a little bit uncomfortable thinking about the nude pics S. sent to me. She said he sent them to her a couple of weeks ago. Wow! It was almost as if I had nude photos of Brad Pitt!

I guess I was a bit turned on and disgusted at the same time. I was disgusted because in two of the pics, there was nicely manicured female hands wrapped around his manhood.

Evidently this same female had pics of him in a swimming pool with her hands around it again! Obviously, this woman coudn't get enough of him...

He mentioned something about hooking up with me again...
starting everything all over...

I just don't feel comfortable around him...

is that bad?

Anxietys

My mind has had nothing but depression and anxiety weighing it down for the past couple of days. Today isn't much better...
All three of my friends say I need to see a shrink...
maybe its because all three of them are seeing one. All three of them are on more than two kinds of meds like Zoloft, Paxil etc etc...

The ironic thing is, I'm afraid to even see one. Ive made four appointments with 'Seven Counties' and was a 'no show' four times. I openly write about my life in a blog, so why should I be afraid to openly talk about my problems to a shrink?
I don't want to have to talk about my childhood to someone with a pen and notepad. I had an emotionally painful childhood, and it feels better not having to bring all of that up. At the same time, I need to find out why I have so many anxiety attacks...why I cry so much and why I blame myself for so many things that I can't fix.
I can't really talk to my friends about this stuff because they don't understand.



They only say "You need to go to Seven Counties"...
D. says if I don't go, I'm putting myself at risk for a serious meltdown.
Too late for that...I've already had several serious meltdowns. I just never tell her about them.
I'm not sure if a "shrink" will actually cure any of it. I'm just afraid I'll end up having to be put on tons of meds and it will only heavily sedate me.

Isn't Friendship Grand?




Today I felt awful! My stomache was cramping so badly that I was doubled over on my couch forever! Ughhhh!
I fumagated every room in my house this morning to get rid of the ants, then headed over to D.'s apartment across the bridge. I hadn't seen her in such a long time, it was really nice. We went grocery shopping, then hung out at her place. She made some crass remark about my boobs being smaller than hers. Its not the first time shes mentioned it either...
I wonder why shes so damn obsessed with letting me know that her boobs are bigger than mine?
How childish of her!
I never say anything to her about her being around 300 pounds? So why should she always have some remark about my body? I guess its difficult because she is my friend and I do love her. I'd never want to hurt her feelings. She and I have birthdays close to around the same time, its amazing. We both even have the exact same nickname. She makes such rude remarks...
then she always tells me how beautiful she thinks I am. Its confusing and annoying at times. I guess its a thing all friends go through, or maybe she and I just have a strange friendship?

Dreams

What would you think if one of your best friends told you she dreamt the two of you were kissing? Tongue kissing?
My friend D. told me she had a dream that I spent the night in her bed. She said she dreamt that I tongue kissed her...



Jokingly I laughed asking her "So, was I a good kisser"?
She said "Yes, it completely turned me on"...


I turned her on?
Normally she and I talk about absolutely everything, from politics to sex. We have even talked about how we both have a slight curiousity with being with another woman. But neither of us has ever really gotten very deep on the subject.
We've mostly talked about guys that we think are hot and who is incredibly charming.
Her bringing that up seemed to really switch alot of things up in our friendship. It was a bit confusing for a while...and I couldn't really think of what anything else to say to her about it
But then I thought about it...
a dream is only a dream right? Some dreams mean something alot deeper than what they are...and some are only dreams....
right?

Cousins

Today the mailman wanted me to sign for something...
I didn't answer the door. I knew it was "him" sending me a letter or another one of his "so called" gifts.
My cousin and I didn't really grow up together. He moved away when he was around seven or eight years old. We never really got the chance to know each other.

We saw each other briefly, when I was twenty one.
And when I was thirty one, he said he was very much in love with me. I was really shocked, but at the same time, I had feelings for him, I told him that I love him too...just not the same kind of love though.
Something like that could never go very far, especially growing up in the family we have. That sort of thing is more than frowned upon.
I finally decided to cut off all contact with him, the pressure was becoming extremely intense.
I feel bad because I wish things could have been normal between us.
He'd told me before there were some states that accepted "cousin" marriages....
He did tons and tons of extensive research on the subject...and even told me about some forums that discussed people who actually did get married to their cousin.
He even mentioned how Theodore Roosevelt married his cousin...and Mayor Giuliani married his too...
I hate that things will never be normal between us...
I hate it...

Neighborly

When I first moved into my house, I was really skeptical about having a conversation with anyone. Its a small town and a very small neighborhood. I was the same way with my old neighborhood...I never really talked to anyone, and that kept things drama-free.

My neighbor on the left is a nice quiet old lady who goes to my grandmother's church.
On the other hand...my neighbor on the right is a guy who works on cars alot in his driveway.
Theres always alot of other guys over there, and they play loud Mariachi music.
I have waved a couple of times out of politeness, and kept on going wherever I was headed for.

One of the guys from that house on the right asked if he could cut my grass. He said he'd do it for free. Ive learned that nothing in this world is for free. There is always some sort of catch...
emotional, physical, financial...or maybe even all of the above!

When he cut my grass, I really appreciated it alot because it was beginning to look like a rainforest in my front and backyard.

I decided to make a a potato salad, and took some over to them. I told them thanks for cutting my grass. The fat one with the mustache was sitting out, and asked me if I'd sit and talk with him. He said he was the one who told his roomate to cut my grass for me. I told him thanks. I sat for a while, he drank some beer. His friend got home from church, and he sat with us too. It started getting late and his friend took the potato salad inside and started cooking some other stuff.

The mustache guy asked if I'd come in his house and see some movies with him. I told him no, its not a good idea. He kept on trying to pressure me into it. I told him no again. He then excused himself and went over in his driveway behind one of his vans....
He relieved himself in his own front lawn? How sick is that?

When he came back to sit down, he smelled awful like old rotten urine!
Then he asked if he could hold my hand. I told him "NO". He then grabs my hand and started

sniffing my arm?

Okay, it was so weird and awful! I kept asking him to stop and he woudln't! He kissed all over my arm while I was trying to pull it away. I asked him again loudly to please let go of my arm!
I started having flashbacks of what happened to me four years ago...I started feeling sick to my stomache....
I asked him again to let go because I did not feel good with him doing that. He finally let go and started saying in spanish how much he likes me and I smell so good and blah blah blah....
He asked for a hug, I told him no and he ignored my words and grabbed me and started hugging me very close. I told him to let go, he grabbed my hair...I finally was able to push him off and I told him that I was leaving. He kept insisting that I stay. I told him that I want to keep things as normal neighbors between us, and nothing more. I told him to enjoy his potato salad, and then I left.
When I got home I took a shower, and I still felt dirty. I felt violated and cheap. I hated that I told him to get off my arm and he kept on kissing all over it....
It felt disgusting!
Since that happened, I don't want anything to do with them anymore...even though it was only one guy who did that....but HE is the actual owner of that house, and hes always making himself visible when he comes outside.
Hes also the one that sent the guy to cut my grass again, and then he had him put his telephone number in my mailbox. I threw it out.


The guy came knocking at my door yesterday, I didn't answer.
I hate men who feel they can touch and grab a woman even after shes told them not to do it. Its a violation of personal space. I wonder what sent him the message that it was okay for him to do something like that to me? After it happened, he still had the nerve to send his roomate over to give his his telephone number.



Memorial Day Blues





Today is Memorial Day...
The day when everyone in my family used to all gather together at a big park, and have one great big barbecue. Sometimes I used to dread going, because my aunts would be there (of course) and they would remark on my skinny legs, and how I was getting so much taller. My grandmother would be there, laughing and smilling with everyone. There used to be so many cousins to play with, we would run to the swings and sliding board...or walk along the wooded trails. It was so much fun! I used to always look forward to holidays like this one.


Now, things are so different. Everything. My grandmother is gone, and I miss her so much. Since shes been gone, my dad's sisters don't come around anymore. Years before she went away, I had been the black sheep of the family. My aunts still came around back then, at least pretending to show some sort of concern. It used to feel so real. I guess when youre a kid, its hard to distinguish the kind of love thats fake and the kind thats real.

I can safely say that after going through a bitter divorce...
and suffering the consequences of many wrong choices I've made with my life in the past....

I have finally learned how to distinguish between fake and real love...
