How do I let myself trust again?
You say I should have always.
But who are you to judge my judgement?
Pins and needles prick my toes
while I lie in bed trying to understand
what it is you want form me.
Appeasement, it's not my spirit,
if you hadn't noticed
it didn't work so great
for Churchill then,
why would I try myself?
I asked you to give up?
no, no, please
don't put words in my mouth
I'm not a puppert master
your strings are your own to control.
My love for you is waning
with the dissipation of the personality
I once knew.
Are you like Zeuse?
False fronting as un toro blanc?
To confuse me into loving you
just to ravage my soul?
The past is the wisest teacher
My past still lingers in your ear.

What the hell are friends anyway? [22 Apr 2003|06:30pm]

I always thought they were there when times got rough, when you needed support, when you needed someone to talk to. But obviously, my definition is SO wrong. Or, I just don't have real friends.

more lies about our world that never was and never will be

The people I thought were my friends, go behind my back, tell me they're not doing something that they KNOW would hurt me, when they really are. those are real friends, are they?

have you know shame? don't you see me?

it's like, other peoples feelings don't even matter to these people. they just go on and do what makes them happy, or what they want, with out being concerned about what that might to do others. and then they play the innocent one when someone gets hurt. You can tell someone your inner most feelings, and then they'll use them against you. and people wonder why i keep to myself.

you know you've got everybody fooled.

but I guess it's my fault for not having insanely receptive communication skills, eh? I don't like talking to people out of fear rejection, i guess my fear is so obvious, and so amusing, everyone likes to hit on it. rejection should be my best friend.

somehow now you're everybody's fool

the whole song )

I do feel that way right now. kinda like, why am I so stupid? How do I fall for shit so easily? Why do I let people play me? Am I seriously that blind?

And I realized that i can blame this on missing a good portion of 2nd grade. i never developed good "people" skills. thats my theory. because i've been the shyest person I know ever since then. I don't talk to people unless they talk to me. I let people use me. When I'm mad, I tend to keep it to myself, and let it build up. Then i started to wonder, what "friends" i have now,a re really my friends. I hate thinking, and I hate people

DAN Commentary

During the 1930's and 40's, the communist party judged the loyalty of its members by how far they would go for fellow members, and the communist party itself. Failing to perform tasks you have been assigned could very well result in trial and removal from the party, torture until you have realized your wrongs, or the extreme, but not rare, execution. In the novel set in a communist Russia, Darkness at Noon, written by Arthur Koestler, translated by Daphne Hardy, the protagonist of the story, Nicolas Rubashov, a Russian Revolutionary, is faced with the challenge of being true to himself, while also, remaining true to the communist party. Faced with antagonists (Ivanov and Gletkin) who psychologically torment him with his past, and his guilty conscience, Rubashov eventually capitulates. Through his choice of stylistic techniques, and figures of speech, Arthur Koestler begins to present a new characterization of Rubashov, as relieved. Rubashov reflects on the principles, truths, and his past experiences in the communist party, and also discovers a possibly humane side of himself, that has been growing throughout the book, come to full bloom. I chose this particular passage because I feel that at this point in the book, the reader really starts to sympathize for Rubashov because of all the things Ivanov and Gletkin have put him through, throughout the novel. Not until nearing the end of his trial, was Rubashov able to look into his past and not feel guilty, while also looking into his future and experiencing relief from his recent guilts. Using the point of view of third person semi-omniscient intensifies the falling action of the novel, Koestler lets the readers into Rubashovs thoughts, taking them along into his eternal "sleep."

Oh, there's this house, on the block behind her fuckheads, yea, they STILL have their fucking xmas lights and decor up! I mean, I dun think just lights would bother me, but tehre are snowmen, like, 50 santa clauses and shit all over, it's SO gaudy it's not even funny!

Anyway, we get to the mall, eat, and go to torrid first, of course. The money was burning a fucking hole in my wallet i swear! So I bought a sweat shirt! Yes. ANd wasted my 15% off card on it, oh well. Then we went to Hot topic, I got new sockses!! And a shirt for St.Patties day -shakes bum- They didn't have the ugly shirts I wanted, i was angry. When we go back, I have to get another st.patties shirt, because i say so, and maybe more sockses!

There were lots of hot guys, yes, sexy men, yum. Went to spencers...they were playing the Simpsons soundtrack, i almost died. Then we went to Brookfeild. On our way there, we listend to Thong song!!! ANd I was stalkign about how it was Penis head and Alien Heads song! ANd then, I was like, oo couldn't you see Mark in a thong?? ooooooooooommmmgggg, I dunno where that even came from, but I gave myself a heart attack, it was so funny. I think i laughed for 5 mins straight, so weird. eeeeewwwww.

We were going in the mall, and we were still laughing. Went to their hot topic, bought a "I <3 Nerds" hat, wheee, s'cute. Now, all I need is that shirt with the red and black stripped sleves, the nintendo sweat shirt, a white long sleeve shirt, and the ugly shirt i want :p and a belt, ahahahaha, i still didin't buy a belt.
