The big comedown
I'm really hating this weekend. Just an FYI. I don't think I've had this much fucked up shit go wrong all at once in a long time.... But let's just say I'm feeling a little bit of every fucking emotion right now... and none of them are shiny happy.
That being said. I'm teetering on taking a long hiatus.
I dunno. Sometimes you want to run away, and sometimes you just want to stand taller, raise your arm in the air and give a big fuck you to the world.
I haven't decided which to do yet. But I've never been the girl that steps down and receeds when fighting the good fight is put before me. Never. Because of this, and my need to just keep on keeping on... things get skewed and messy. I start to yearn for things that I never needed before... like close friends to tell me it's alright, and a hug... hugs are good. Especially when the people you care most about care about you.
BUT. None of my close friends are close enough to hug. In fact, I feel caught in the wake of many people and reaching out to them is like trying to crawl through your monitor... Just doesn't work well.
You have to understand that sure, I have my peeps here. I can make a phone call and have somebody to talk to, or even to console me.... Not the issue. But, because of the 'world' I live in, these people also tend to mask themselves or be only half the people they really are. Why? I'm not sure... Perhaps because sexuality in whole is unacceptable socially. We can't just walk around in PVC and say we're normal... We can't tell you how wonderful the munch went last night over lunch with the other PTA moms.
And when we're together we do not discuss things like work, children, life goals and disappointments. We don't support each other in that way.
And what really is support anyway? And where the hell is it? Why can't you buy sympathy and comfort at the grocery store? That really sucks my right tit to feel like this because (no offense intended to any friend that reads this) but, my friends have their own issues in which I am being supportive and not the one to be supported. Some even have trouble formulating even HOW to comfort... what to do... what to say...
And you know what, that's alright with me as long as you don't run away when I'm like this. But understand that I'm only 24% there when you call for me and need my crutch. I think even if you didn't have the right things to say, to say anything at all would be enough. But I never expect this from anybody, nor do I feel compelled to think you're not genuine and you don't care because you can't touch me or feel like you can't make things better.
Anyway, it's 6 in the morning and I didn't sleep worth a shit and I'm just down right sad. Tears and all. And I know what would happen if I called anybody right now to try and extend my soul for TLC. Calling anybody would be for naught, because I would have expectations I guess.... I need genuine 'wow that's really fuckedupedness'.
Hmmm, re-reading this post sounds like a shallow cry for help but no, that's not really its intention. I think I just needed to vomit some raw emotion up in here.... *shrug* And it's disappointments and days like this when you say "well what the fuck, it's not like I'm gonna need to fufill any goals or directives longer than 6 months anyway. Just say good-bye and put yourself out of your misery."
But that message in your head is fleeting, and you realize that it's really not you to say or believe those things. How do I raise up from this momentary lapse of being alright?
A drive to my secret beach spot?
A drive to re-visit the plot and preparations I made a few weeks ago?
Ice cream?
No matter how much I try to grasp the fact that I cant get right, the more I sink. And without even one hand to hold, or one back to scratch, or any of the above to aid my depression today... I can only sit in my own mental stew. And say...
Fuck you world.

Emma~ I feel you,I have the same problem...and it sucks! I am sorry life is not all it should be for you right now,no one can truly know how hard all of this is for you~ but you are right...blogworld DOES care!
I am still formulating the plan to visit in the Fall...and my arms will be wiiiiide open and waiting to give you as many hugs as you want and/or need. You also know how to find me...so ANYTIME you feel like you need someone who cares to share your day with give me a buzz, I would be glad to listen!
Other than that try, try, try to cheer up...I think most of us have been in a funk this weekend, and that is not a good thing. In life you have to take the bitter with the sweet...here's hoping more 'sweet' is headed your way soon!
*kisses and HUGS
Thanks Miss, I appreciate your comment. You know, really it's just not so much that I'm all 'pity me', it's that for some reason no matter what I do or how hard I try things just keep fucking up!!!
It's frustrating as hell!
Why does life fucking suck so much this weekend!?!?!?
Bitter with the sweet is absolutely the right way to look at it. But if it looks like candy, smells like candy, acts like candy... and then you bite it
why does it taste like SHIT!?!?!
i'm sorry
i don't know what to say
i hope things get gooder
S'ok
Of course not.
I do too.
Well, actually Blondie you're extremely supportive. Perhaps you're right, I should have called. But yesterday was shit and full of shit and just shit and nobody wants to talk to me like that because it just brings them down and makes them hate me.
The last thing I need is to lose you and your friendship. I think that would destroy me.
Why the hell would I blow you off? Have I ever?
And don't you dare say Obviously I have no idea what to say because I;m horrible at consolation. You still should've called. I would've tried even though I know it wouldn't have been good enough.... EVER AGAIN.

*hug*
Check your mail, Emma.
I might not be a graceful pudding-wrestler, and a monogamous flirt isn't aways the most useful guy to invite to the Wet Spot, but I've got big ears and soft, unbelievably absorbent shoulders.

I'm not running away.
Say what you need to say.
Feel how you need to feel.
It's OK to feel the way you are feeling...sure it's not FUN to feel this way but it is OK.
Sometimes life sux high ass and sometimes life makes you so high you swear you're in heaven. we're all wise enough to know that both of those feelings don't last forever so we fully experience the highs and the lows because we have no other choice.
You will weather this crap-assness because I know that your spirit, your EN-ness, would never let you do otherwise.
I'm not running and from the looks of those who commented before me, and the ones I know will comment after me, you've got some stick around people in your corner.
Emma, I'm bad at finding the right words to say what I'm thinking.
But I'm here and you can vent, cry, yell, or whatever you feel like at the moment and I will listen.
Emma, when it comes to the rubber hitting the road, your friends here are like Pirelli tires... we stick like epoxy. I echo everyone's comments but especially Madame X's... the friends who commented before, and will comment after, are all Pirelli tires and we're not blowing smoke... we have traction and we're here to stay. Use us, even if you're not a user.
Emma, You made me laugh in spite of the sadness..."Why does it taste like shit," indeed! I could give you some philosophical bs about how all our experiences make us stronger people ultimately, but I dunno if I even believe that. What I DO know is that yours is a flame that shines very brightly, and even though I may be in KY I am as drawn to that light as strongly as those who are closer to you. Guess what though? (You may need to sit down,'cause it's possible you'll find this shocking) You're just HUMAN. You have a right to have good, bad, and even horrible days~ and you have the right to EXPECT those who claim to love you to be there to help you through them. Yeah, sometimes sharing in the pain, fear and general "fuckupedness" of the ones we care about IS a bummer, but that is also what friendship is all about! And I don't care if it is 4am here, you pick up the damn phone and CALL ALREADY! I will be here for you no matter what is on your mind, what time it is, or how badly I need sleep. And you know WHY? Because I give a shit, and sometimes loving people means you have to sacrifice your own needs and wants for a minute.
Madame had it right as did Blondie...And much like them my hand is always there reaching out Em, all you have to do is take hold and not let go until you are ready to face the world again.
Believe Em, 'cause you know what is more powerful than anything else I have found? FAITH. I have faith that you will find the donor you need, that the job you want will happen, and that life will improve 210% for you! So, call me and borrow some of my optimism whenever you need...I am always here!
I love you girl, and I hope this finds you in better spirits, if not you know how to find me...and I hope you will. You are a special person Emma, and I cannot imagine my life without you in it; Regardless of your mood, your personal issues, or any of that. YOU ROCK!!! Just don't lose sight of that, ok?
*HUGE KY Hugs and ENORMOUS KY Kisses~ along with a few hundred daily prayers from myself and members of my church!
awww honey
i'm sad i wasn't around this weekend to hug you.
i'm sadder still that you've had the kind of friends that disappear when the going gets tough.
real friends are the ones who tell you the truth, especially when it hurts, and the ones who catch you when you fall.
wish i was close enough for catching.
