answers.i asked. i asked for answers. i said if you didnt tell me i would find them out on my own and i was ready to do it, guns blazing. I would track everyone down and i would personally question them until I got what i wanted. and I told you who I would start with. Everything I wanted to know since I was old enough to understand what death and life really meant I know now. Hooray for emotional rollercoasters. This week is testing me. Hard. Oh but you don't know who I am anymore. ...
oh. @ 06:34 am
Let's talk connection. words. words are an excellent way to communicate. I used to be really really good with words. Call it a fault of old age, (thirty feels like a hundred different lives, a hundred different me's) but I'm not so good with words anymore. Or writing. I have two beautiful , fairly untouched Journals sitting on my table in the kitchen.I'm apparently supposed to use one to write thoughts down, and the other to "talk" to god. Instead, I was reminded of this account, and how much more secret and safe it is and how much faster I can get my words out when I type. Words...i suck at with you. I have never ever ever been able to communicate everything I want to say seriously to you. It comes out in a rush and then i feel stupid and you breeze over it and that moment is gone. And what you don't realize, or maybe you do, but you ignore it,you have to ignore is everytime i mention it, not once am i joking. not once is it anything less than a is it anything less than a plea. How many other arguments can I bring up? I've been arguing and arguing and waiting (never patiently, because frankly you're an idiot and i would say you are going to miss out on the best thing thats ever happened to you but we both know that the only way THAT happens is if you don't come back. ) That's not a choice I would ever make. And everyone can argue with me and point out your flaws but who in this world knows them better than me already? Every argument is one I've already had with myself and so everyone's arguments become tiring and old and exhausting. I've done everything to get away from it. I really have tried. Beyond what everyone says is the only true cure.Which would be to cut communciation. But I can't . God help me, but I can't. It's like last night,where we wound up someplace i wasn't sure we should go,and then it was happening and if you had stopped, i seriously seriously seriously could have killed you. Lying next to you while you slept and I was awake the entire night, i tested my theory. I shifted in the bed. I moved and tossed and turned and every single time, your hands found mine. In your sleep. That matters. I'm not going to fall apart again. I'll cry. Of course I will. When I feel like the clock is ticking and I have just a few stupid little hours to spend with you before you're gone again and who knows when I'll see you? If I didn't understand you so well. If i didn't know that you won't be happy with anything or anyone until you feel you've done what makes you a man. maybe i could let go. but i doubt it. there's a part of me that you bring alive. I never laugh as much or enjoy life the way i do when i'm around you. and why? you're just one stupid man. who got in. I've tried curing you with other men and women ,with liquor and drugs,and therapy and cuts and hospitals and it all. I've gone the whole wheel round. Nothing works. and it doesn't work for you either. so here we are. again. ah,jesus.it doesn't matter, you know? I'll do this dance with you over and over. I don't care what that makes me, or who thinks what about it. I know it all. I know everything that's wrong with that. I don't care. You're that important to me. So , you know...get it together. Straighten up and fly right. Hurry the hell up. The waiting, the long absences are seriously excruciating, but I'll keep doing them. so okay. I'm running out of words again and my brain is tired and i'm tired and its early and i have a doctors appointment and just want the safety of my bed.

I am now the proud owner of 11 of the deryni books. Oh ebay is an evil thing. They were like Ten dollars. I blame you for giving me the itch to read them all again. Now all I need is the valdemar books, the amelia peabody books and my francis books (which i still do have in storage) and i will have my faviorite books surronding me again. I consider this my consellation prize for having to work this week. Also the mary and elizabeth book i borrowed from you is so good i want to put it on a sandwhich and eat it.

I wish family stuff hadn't gotten in the way of my music. I feel like I will always regret not pushing harder for it. That will always haunt me and hurt me.

LOOOOOONNNNGGGG couple of weeks that have been utterly exhausting.But here's whats new: I may not be able to go back to college this semesterthey denied my financial aid,and i just don't know if i am going to be able to afford it.I'm really sad about it,but I'm trying to keep up momentum. I did,however,start singing again,which is....painful and exciting. It hurts,because I miss being able to do everything that i used to be able to do with my voice. But i wanted to do it for me. I cut off that part of myself because it hurt so much to not be able to wrap myself completly in it. But I think I'm ready to get back into it again, just for me. I've always had a weird abusive relationship with music,but the undeniable fact is that its always been there. I start ballet next week too. I really wanted to start dancing again. I'm really looking forward to it. I think,if I can't go to school in the fall that it will help to have something to throw myself into. Still on the waiting list for the apartment,which is fine,because at least this way i can save up some cash. i think thats about it......cut my hair.I turn 28 in a few weeks.Lost some weight (but may have put it back on this week the way I have been eating.) fighting for a raise at work.Oh!!!!! I decided..against my better judgement..to try an online dating thing. I'm not really sure why. I'm not even completly sure that I'm ready to date, or that I neccesarily want to. I like my life, but maybe thats just a defense that i've put up.Who knows? Couldn't hurt to check it out and see. Okay...thats about all the shiny newness that is me. <3

Fall semester for college may not be happening, but I'm keeping up hope. pulling alot of extra hours at work, so maybe with enough scrimping i can pull it off. I'm thinking that i may take up music again. and dance.not to make a career out of it or anything. Those days are long behind me. But the fact is, music is the one consistent thing I have.I miss it. I feel empty without it;incomplete and hollow. thats just the truth of it. So...I looked into some dance classes, but I'm waiting to hear back from a few school on what their adult program will be for the fall. And as for singing goes...I was thinking of checking into some of the stuff at OCCC. It could meet a credit requirement,and help fill that part of me that is slowly dying. These past few weeks have been devasting,heartbreaking and incredibly emotional for me. I'm dealing with things in my new way.Yoga,Meditation,reading uplifting books.Still not on medication , though I will admit, today came close. I came so close to just tossing in the towel and going back to the docs.But i made it through the day and I'm pretty damn proud of that. Things hurt. Alot. That's the day to day world, and we all will muddle through. That's what we do. I'm realizing that the past..is the past. and sometimes you can't go back.Time passes. Things change. People become different creatures,almost strangers. you know them, because you would know them anywhere. the lines of their body is as familiar as your own. but something in you...something in you is changed.and thereis too much hurt.Like a valley between you. Like states. Like a country. What does this mean? *shrug* who knows? What does it ever mean? Things in me are changing. Thats really all it amounts to.music.work.dance.good literature.These are things that I know right now and know well.They are the only things I am even remotely qualified to talk about anymore really.

CHE: Oh what a circus! Oh what a show! Argentina has gone to town Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron We've all gone crazy Mourning all day and mourning all night Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right Oh what an exit! That's how to go! When they're ringing your curtain down Demand to be buried like Eva Peron It's quite a sunset And good for the country in a roundabout way We've made the front page of all the world's papers today But who is this Santa Evita? Why all this howling hysterical sorrow? What kind of goddess has lived among us? How will we ever get by without her? She had her moments--she had some style The best show in town was the crowd Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Peron" But that's all gone now As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears We're all going to see how she did nothing for years!
CROWD Salve regina mater misericordiae Vita dulcedo et spes nostra Salve salve regina Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes O clemens o pia
CHE You let down your people Evita You were supposed to have been immortal That's all they wanted Not much to ask for But in the end you could not deliver Sing you fools! But you got it wrong Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long Your queen is dead, your king is through She's not coming back to you Show business kept us all alive Since 17 October 1945 But the star has gone, the glamour's worn thin That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in Instead of government we had a stage Instead of ideas a prima donna's rage Instead of help we were given a crowd She didn't say much but she said it loud And who am I who dares to keep His head held high while millions weep? Why the exception to the rule? Opportunist? Traitor? Fool? Or just a man who grew and saw From seventeen to twenty-four His country bled, crucified? She's not the only one who's died! Sing you fools? But you got it wrong Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long Your queen is dead, your king is through She's not coming back to you
CROWD Salve regina mater misericordiae Vita dulcedo et spes nostra Salve salve regina Peron Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes O clemens o pia (A non-descript GIRL moves through the pageantry of the funeral. She sings as the voice of the dead Evita)
GIRL Don't cry for me Argentina For I am ordinary, unimportant And undeserving of such attention Unless we all are--I think we all are Ride on my train o my people And when it's your turn to die you'll remember They fired those cannons, sang lamentations Not just for Eva, for Argentina Not just for Eva, for everybody So share my glory, so share my coffin So share my glory, so share my coffin
CHE It's our funeral too

Trying to find my family through online resources is like glimpsing into possible lives that I could have had. I know that sounds weird, but pages and pages of people that could be my relatives pop up, and I think...are these my brothers? Is that there giant family now? It's weird. I haven't done this before really, but I'm desperate to find them all. all my brothers, my neices...It's been so long since I've talked to any of the. But I feel like i need to do this. sigh...

It always surprises me (although I guess it really shouldn't) when I encounted real , deep and violent rascism. It shouldn't; I know it's still out there, but I'm always so taken aback by it. The idea that some crazed anti- semite could walk into the Holocaust Muesuem, blocks away from the white house and start firing is....insane. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the security guard that was killed...
