dear diary
lets see today is tuesday, july 5th. woke up to mom #2 in a bad mood, she was arguing on the phone about something. she then catapulted that argument at me as i got up in search of my morning coffee. my responses were very baseline, but i was trying not to seem groggy since she speculates i'm using again. i couldn't help but rub my eyes. dad #2 told me which cup to use when i was pouring the coffee, and then told me not to use that much sugar. i explained that across 12 ounces of fluid that two teaspoons of sugar really isn't that much, and i think i started mumbling about what a homogenous mixture is and headed back to my room.
i went to go get lunch after realizing there was nothing to eat in the house, got in the car and put the ac as cold as possible, the volume as loud as possible. as i was driving i couldn't stop thinking about a girl. the previous night she asked me to come to her house just to sleep together, she gets scared and i guess i help. i've already cheated on my girlfriend with her several times, i don't want a relationship with her because it would never, ever, ever work. but it's been five years and i can't get enough of her. my cousin was asking me the other night as we were driving home if i had any one particular friend that just really gets under my skin, and the only person i could think of was her.
my mind went through memories of us together, dancing, holding my hand guiding me through the club, her in bed next to me asleep. i like her bed more than mine. all day i smelled like her perfume. when i got home from getting lunch i sat on my bed and could smell it on me. it reminded me of when i was in the passengers seat of her car and she took out the little bottle and sprayed it 6 or 7 times all over. a friend pulled up next to us in their car and rolled down the window to wave at us.
all i can think about is regretting how fucked up i got that night. we were sitting at a bar with six other guys, she went to the bar to order a drink and i gave them all a good reason to stop trying to get in her pants. i could tell one of them was speaking with a fake english accent, they mentioned they were only in town for a few weeks. at the end of the night we were standing outside a club and by that point i was stumbling around, doing the typical backwards cross over with my feet and leaning on the girl. they were asking her for a ride, insisting they go in our car. she kept making up excuses as to why the answer was no, but eventually i just insulted them and they finally fucked off.
i laid back in the passengers seat of her car and kept saying fuck under my breath and she wouldn't stop asking me what was wrong. i couldn't bring myself to say anything other than just "mmm". that night we went up the stairs of her apartment and i said, "it really does smell like weed in here" but what i was thinking was... i love your new place, i'm happy to be here. and then i collapsed onto my back on her bed and it reminded me of the time i did the same thing on her couch a couple years back. she used to take my shoes off for me and crawl on top of me. this time she didn't take my shoes off. all i remember of that night are glimpses of her. i don't know why i care so much, she shouldn't be what she is to me.. but for some reason she is intoxicating.
... my guardians left the house and i took a shower. i found a bug and flushed it down the toilet. it's weird how most people scream when they're surprised. my immediate reaction was to look closer at it. i watched it struggle to hold onto the edges of the toilet bowl, and then it swirled away. all i thought about was, if a bug could think, it most likely was regretting every decision it made that led up to this point.. as it drowned to death.. i was feeling a bit suicidal when i walked down the hallway to the bathroom to shower, some days that just happens. when i'm in the bathroom i think about running those blades down my arms. when i was 15 i tried to kill myself in the bathroom, so it's just a weird place for me. but today was different, because i thought about the fact i most likely didn't need to drag it from the top of the forearm all the way down to the wrist, as there's some sort of major vein or artery i could focus on there in the arm. and i most likely would only have to do it to one arm, not both. i thought about when my mom (original mom) told me that if you get shot, you only have a matter of minutes, i couldn't remember the exact number but i know it ended in five. could be more or less in reality though. i wondered if i did it maybe i'd accidentally survive and, i thought about how ugly the stitches would look. i showered quickly, and didn't think about it again.
after that my day was just noticing random things around the house i needed to fix or do. i fixated on those tasks. when i'm doing it it's like, ice skating. my friends like to go, and they all hug the wall going in circles while i'm doing laps around them. i don't see anyone, they're all just blurs. it's cold. they'res music playing but i barely hear it. i go so fast that all i can think about is the blades and their precise position in the ice, memorizing which grooves and dents to avoid because they slow me down. and the wind. it feels nice. i feel like that when i'm working. so i work on things,... quick, focused. and then i find a good stopping point. that's the one of the things i do that probably makes me seem a little nuts.. i'm always fixing things. which is normal to do i guess, problem is if i hurt myself i don't stop what i'm doing. once i split my finger open so deep, i still have the scar two years later. i wrapped it up and kept going. it wasn't till i finished what i was doing that i ran it under some cold water and felt the sting. i remember wishing that i had just left it wrapped in the towel, i didn't feel it then.
anyway i found a good stopping point and went through the canned goods. found a can that expired the year my parents died and i immediately wanted to chuck it through my kitchen window. but instead i just put it back neatly and wondered if someone would accidentally eat it and die from food poisoning. ended up making some soup, i read the can three times over but couldn't really focus while i read it. it's part of the ocd, i worry when i read things that i didn't read it right. then i decided to say fuck it i'll warm it however long i want. i played piano very shittily while i waited for it to heat up. i thought about eating soup for the rest of the year, and wondered if that was economical. probably not. as i played i thought about the piano. it's out of tune, damaged, the keys are ruined. but i've kept it for sentimental reasons, besides- i'm used to the exact weight of each key. it's a comfort zone. the truth is i hate the way it sounds. and i'd much rather have a better one. this is just the one i have. eventually i got frustrated with how bad everything sounded. there used to be endless possibilities as to what i could create, but now i'm stuck within the confines of ruts i've created in my mind, and i can only really create surrounding certain patterns i've grown comfortable with. i'm bored with them and i think they sound horrible. i know i'd be better drunk. it has to be subconscious, as if you aren't even thinking about it while you're doing it. that's when it sounds best.
then i watched a movie and fed the rest of the soup to my cat, which he vomited up shortly after. i paused the movie halfway through to go back to my room and check my phone. my girlfriend was out with her friends at a happy hour, i couldn't go because alcoholics don't go to happy hour. i realized i forgot to reply to her text, and then realized i didn't care that much.
getting ready now for a phone call with her. we're discussing a vacation she wants to plan apparently (so she's demanded we do tonight). she got mad at me yesterday morning and ranted about how i wasn't helping her enough to plan it, but then it became a discussion about how i wasn't responding to her texts enough, wasn't open enough, didn't ask her enough questions... i just kept sighing and putting my hand over my eyes. eventually i told her i loved her and that it wasn't my intention to make her feel bad. then i realized there was nothing i could say to really help, after she brought up several other irrelevant things. she just was wanting to pick a fight. i thought of a gif i've seen of a show where his wife says to him, "do you think i'm ugly?" and he replies with his nose in a news paper, "so is this what we're going to do today, fight?"... ... she ended up calming down and then i found a way to make the conversation about sex... i know it's basically screwing up a relationship to solve intense situations with fucking but i honestly don't have the energy to bother with intense conversations anymore and would rather just fuck.
.... speaking of energy. noticed that my fingernails are missing the white crescent in the nail bed. someone told me that means i have a b12 deficiency. explains why i'm always tired.
i'm sure you got tired just reading this. welcome to the club. i have to go call my girlfriend. bye.
