Lmao Naomi, I'm not sure whether to kick you or laugh until I'm exhausted. Just the trick I needed... haha

I was thinking in the shower about different things, one of which being that which I described in the previous post. I've always wanted to be bold, confident, unafraid to just... -be-. I was starting to get it in college, to really just be myself, learn what it was like to realize that no matter what you're like or who you are, there are people who will like you for it. You don't ahve to fit into this mold that others have set out before you.

"I break , ya know, the hip hop floor work stuff....we don't say break dancing, We NEVER say break dancing because it's a media term and a swear word
I just started about a month ago and sometimes I think it'd be easier to lie on the floor and let someone kick me for a while, as the results would be the same"
- Shady... Not Slim Shady.

Dear God, girly, I love you to death for the stuff you come up with, lmao!

I'm doing like... 40 things at once right now, please excuse the disjointedness that this post will be. I'll try to stick to this until I'm done. Mebbe.

So, boldness. Right. I was thinking about it and decided that sometimes you need to fake it before you can truly believe it, and so... maybe it's time to start faking it? That situation will never happen again, but I need to be a bit less afraid of reactions in order to be absolutely positive. It's time for an Abby-overhaul. haha

Um... Yup. And now... Now it's time to find people to hang out with... Hmm... Who can I bug today? Crystal? Cat? It's raining, he might be home... Meh. MP? And waht to do this weekend!! I need plans, haha

I went out with Carly last night, to see Luis, Felix, and "some cousins"- Fabio and a new one I'd never met before, Jimmy. It was, quite plainly, horrible. Absolutely outrageously fucking horrible.

Don't get me wrong. It started out badly, got better, then went straight off the cliff. I talked to Carly in the morning and we thought we might do something later, when she got out of work. So, after my brother pulled a wonderful stunt and set my mom screaming, fuming, and overall making me just curl up and sleep in my room, I awoke to hear her crying and yelling at my dad, and left. I called up Carly, asked her if we were doing anything, and when she said it was raining, "-Please?-" "Have you eaten yet? We're having spaghetti." "Sounds awesome... are you sure? Okay. I'll be over in 5." On the way, I saved a turtle, brushed my hair and put in contacts- in reverse order, LoL

So, I got there a bit later than 5 minutes, but whatever. We ate dinner, laughing quietly the whole way through at simple little things - These people used to be my second family, and I haven't seen them in such an everyday setting in so long... 5th grade, really...

Anyway... then we decided we were going out, to go see Luis, and Felix who had jsut come back from the DR for his summer class. Called them up and got an okay, so Carly straightened my hair and put on some eyeshadow, then we were off! I had on this black tanktop, and she put on a black tubetop- really cute!! I wish I could wear stuff like that... Anyway, we were playing at blonde bombshell- hahah Riiiiight... She's so pretty, I really have a ahrd time keeping up with her on a -bad- day, nevermind a good day, haha

Anyway, we got lost in Providencia several times- mainly because Luis gives really shitty directions- Go left... Oops... I meant RIGHT!!! GO RIGHT!!! AHHH!! Make up your mind, idiot!!! LoL We got there, none the worse for wear, and they came out to sit on the porch with us- Luis turned on the light and was like... "Whoa! I've never seen you like this, Abby!! It's... nice." I laughed, because you know when people get sued to seeing you in jeans and a sweatshirt, then you suddenly change it to a tanktop and do some simple changes, it looks like a drastic makeover! See?? My madness has a reason... LoL

Felix came out and fell off the step- it was hilarious. hehe He looked at Carly, and looked her up and down- "You look good, Carolyn, as always!" then to me, and Luis chose this moment to turn on the light-"Look at Abby, though!!"- and I thought he was going to fall again. Seriously now boys... It -really- wasn't that big of a deal!! (BTW... I still had my hoodie on, lmao)

Anyway... I was kind of wary now, because if two guys who knew me had this reaction, shit shit what about fabio? Now, Fabio is... direct to the point of utter rudeness. I will never in my life understand why I constantly go away from people feeling like I want to kill them then a month later, decide that, You know, he couldn't've been -that; I must be making some of it up. Yeah... NO!!!

Let me jsut put it this way. I got propositioned for 4 hours straight- progressivly getting worse and worse- LUIS LEFT ME, taking Carly with him, in the basement with this asshole and Jimmy- a slightly better asshole who, if Fabio hadn't been around, probably would ahve been cool- and Felix, who was absolutely NO HELP!!! I got pulled into his lap, constantly touched and at one point groped, until he finally released my arm long enough to allow me to stand up, pin him with the nastiest look I could muster- one of my patent, "Get the fuck away from me or I'll stop being so nice..." looks- Evidently, looks were not enough. I'm traumatized. So, I fled the basement and found Luis, and made it, in what I thought was a very clear manner, that if he ever left me alone, or didn't help me out again, I would be forced to officially spaz on his cousins. Carolyn came over, heard the highlights of the basement interim (I have no idea whether that's the word I want or not.) and tried to comfort me, but by now I was feeling thoroughly betrayed by both of them, so all I wanted was to leave. But, guess what!!! PIZZA!!!!

Yippy fucking skippy.

One more hour of constant propositioning, until Fabio was undoing his fly and both Carolyn and I were basically clinging to Luis, who finally told him to put it away. Then more propositioning directed toward me, and I'm kickng Carolyn the whole time about LET'S GO!!! and she's not getting it... We were btoh waiting for the other to get up to leave.

Let me just say- Utter horror. Anyone who knows me, you know how fucking defensive I get when put in social situations so much less that that. I'm a fucking GOOD GIRL!!! I don't ahve to deal with this SHIT! I was not raised in the ghetto- I have no smart comebacks, and the only way I know to defend myself is to do it in a way that you aren't being rude, don't upset people, and still get away. Yeah... I gotta work on that. When I'm upset, they should be upset, too. *le sigh* Anyway... It was just a horrible night. I look back, and it's funny in that "This is so horrifying, it's like something out of a bad movie" humor.

God, some guys are such animals. You jsut want to kick them and be like, "Did your mom ever teach you about manners?" Or jsut kick them and run because they're huge and scary and -really- strong. Fucking A, I'm so ready to forget that. But it ahd to come in here, because I need to remember for the next time I forget what an asshole Fabio is. I'm dumb, we know this, so I write to remember.

Yo estoy.... Bored. Mucho boredo. Mmm... So I'm writing. About what, you ask? About... Irritation. It's like a nagging little gnat who won't stop buzzing in your ear, or chomping on your arm, always buzzzing... Buzzz... Buzzz... Buzzzz... And it's fine whenever they're not around, but as soon as you see it, you're automatically on the defensive. So, no matter how harmless or humorous the situation could be, you automatically are irritated to begin with and can't see the forest for the trees. Get me? Good.

I found myself being like this to my brother, then wanting to apologize later- which I didn't. Meh.
It's now 2 am, and I am still evidently going strong on the two shots of espresso that Linds and Kyle infused me with 4 hours ago- is that possible? I'm jsut not sure. Caffeine has very crazy effects on my system. I imbibe it so little that when I do, it's like a bomb exploding- I go fucking NUTS!!! I was tweaking out in the car, unable to stop myself from like, bouncing around. I tried to sit still, jsut to see if I could, and my hands were shaking so horribly badly, I think they were trying to commit suicide. No more espresso. No more caffeine for a long time. haha

I set up a MySpace- SELLOUT, I know!!! But not really. I only put a post on there to link it to here... No worries, my baby. I would never abandon you. especially not to some POS crappy little interface that doesn't even allow me to use my newly acquired knowledge of CSS... Geeaz... As someone famous once said, "Well, fuck that!" haha ("Fucking kangaroos!")

I really do need to start reading once again. College ruined me on reading. I used to do it all the time- actually, let met ake that back. Having a life ruined my for reading. Since I got friends and a life a couple years back, books have never really held such a large sway... combined with numerous other factors, many of which I gripe about constantly in here!! Oy... such a whiner!!

Lynch is now trying to set me up with some kid who has no idea what he's in for. I'm guessing she figures I'm hopeless- very true, but at the same time I kind of want to protest jsut because I am me, and protesting would be utterly in character. bah... I'm lazy. Besides, he is kinda cute, and he's very... intriguing. *narrows eyes* Hmm...

Anyway, the puppies are doing fine- they had their tails chopped off today, but they didn't cry too much, Sprite was good, as far as I know, and I now remember why I never really played with the puppies too much in the past litters- I'm so FUCKING ALLERGIC!!! Just driving them to the vet, I had to pull over a couple times because the sneezing fits were so spectacular, I couldn't see the Road! haha Such a crazy morning, I swear!

Um... So, yeah, that's about it. I don't hate Crystal. As much as I say I do, it's more that I'm jsut really, extremely frustrated at my own inability to make her comprehend (or maybe jsut care? Ouch, that thought instantly gets pushed back because it hurts a lot.) how much I miss her company. We were going to save tortured souls from overbearing tyrants, remember girly? Do you even remember? I miss ya, hun. I'm glad I saw you tonight- it was fun! I'm really glad you're going to head to college, you're too smart to sit around for long. You'd get bored, hehe.

Um... wow, I wrote a shitload about absolutely nothing. More: I kind of wish I could just... go. Pack my car and drive someplace. May6be i will, dammit. I am takingn this weekend off and going someplace. maybe Albany- spend some time with my crazy relatives up there, and just visit? Oh, who knows? Maybe I'll just go buy and pitch a tent, bring my fishing pole and some matches, starve myself(Because we all know I can't catch freshwater fish to save my life!) for a couple days in the cause of "roughing it". take some time to myself and no one else- be completely selfish and just figure out what's going on. I think that would take more than 2 days, but maybe I cuold figure out enough to get me by until the next time. Mebbe.

Last night was awesome!!! I called up Kate and she came to see fireworks with mi familia- so awesome! The Queen Mary 2 was there, like last year, but the fireworks were so much better! The grand finale was amazing! And that ship is just... breathtaking. To imagine the awesomeness of it is crazy!! I'm so impressed every time I see it, haha

We got lost on Dutch Island- we took one of those trails that the DEM condemned, so that you can't get hurt in the old Naval base ruins, but everyone goes on anyway, followed it to a bunch of the old buildings, explored, and couldn't find the trail that led us abck to the beach. so... we made our own! haha By the time I got out of there, my legs were so scratched and itchy, I was ready to shoot myself for even suggesting it.

Um... What else? I'm allergic to puppies... forgot about it in my absence... so I had sneezing fits all morning after I played with them, with Kate... who slept over. It was fantastic. Lmao

Oh yeah! Aftr the fireworks, we headed over to David's, where we hung out for a bit with him and all the cool kids from Maryland- such awesome guys and Jess. HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY!!! YAY!!! It was pretty awesome. Probably woulda gotten sloshed and slept over if seth and Carl hadn't been falling asleep in the corner.

Anyway.. I'm being anti-social again, but meh... I -will- be friendly later. It's my compromise. I can put it off till later, but then I absolutely have to go. hah I even made Carolyn promise to call me and remind me that I have to be friendly in order to have friends... Oy. The patheticness of my existence- so oxymoronic. I don't want to go out and be friendly, but I need friends. Oy...

Crazy. Or... lazy?

Oh my oh my!! This weekend, I've been so busy! Friday, I was supposed to be doing things with my friends, but had to cancel, not so sadly, when Spritey started to have her PUPPIES!!! YAYAY!!! There are 8 healthy little future-brats crawling around a whelping box in the living room, along with one skinny but healthy muttsky. haha

There are 5 black, 2 males, and 3 liver, no males. All so very cute!! One of the liver ones has markings jsut like codie's on her back, but looks like she'll only have half a white nose, LoL We'll seee.....

Lindsey, you can come over any time you want to see them- they've been waiting for their Auntie!!! LoL Every time a car drives up, Sprite looks around, and as soon as she sees its not you, she seems to sigh and sink back to the box- no whining, dancing needed... it's just the family. haha Get over here, chica!!

Yesterday, I had a charter which went till... 6 or so. And I was so exhausted after, I watched one movie and went to bed. today, I'm jsut chilling out, waiting to head down to Jamestown for fireworks. Woot! haha

I went to see the psych on Friday- along with this new dentist who apparently tried to RIP my gums off with her little pokey tool; my mouth is still sore, goddamned her... Your name is Kerri, NOT JACK!!! Anyway... I guess I'm normal. As I was talking to him, answering his request that I list those things in my life that had built stress/ I've "compartmentalized", we were both surprised how much came out. After I finished one list, he'd ask me about another aspect of my life, and there'd be another couple things, over and over. Finally, he put down his little pad thingy and cocked his head, "To tell you the truth, I'm surprised you didn't track me or someone else down, sooner." And it felt good. To have my stress affirmed. To have someone tell me I'm not being a wuss, that I should be able to handle everything by myself. That when I lash out, I actually have honest, swear-to-God reasons for doing it, and it's not signs of psychosis. -I'm- not abnormal...

To have someone who has dealt with really fucked up people tell you that you're not one of them, is something. I needed that. He was also surprised when I told him of what I used to do with horses, and the side-effects of it- the enhanced ability to "see" body language and "hear" the tone of someone's voice- I put it in quotations because it's something anyone can do... they just don't- on a conscious level, anyway. He said that involuntarily, I'd trained myself to be more sensitive and empathetic- the reason why I could "tame" the "untameable", is because I can feel them more acutely than others... Or something like that.

I don't know if any of that is true- I jsut know what a relief it was to be told that I'm not crazy, not even going crazy- I've simply got problems... Just like everyone else, more than some, less than others, but problems nonetheless.

Mike, how's your dad?
Corey, how's your pup?
SB, how was your trip?
Carly, when is Kyle coming back?

Beth, where ya at, gf? We supposed to chill out, remembah!?

I think that's all the questions I got for now. If I missed you, IM me or comment me- I love COMMENTS!!!
