2:26AM - my weekend/lack of sleep/stupid resumes
This weekend ended up being pretty good. Friday I went down to kitchener for my sister's birthday. My whole family ended up getting really drunk and havign a dance party... My mum was passed out on the couch by midnight. My sister's and I decided to go to the bars. My stepbrother got denied because he was too drunk. So, we decided we'd walk to some bar called Phil's. Ended up going through a huge treck through a forest to get there.... IN STILETTOS! Not one of my finest moments. Eventually we just gave up, got some pizza and went back to my mum's house to crash. Saturday night I ended up going to call the office with my friend mirit and jessica lee. It was an awesome show... Granted I felt like a bit of an alcoholic drinking a pitcher to myself as the other girls don't drink. But what can ya do?!!! Afterwards I went back to Mirits... ate koshur chips for the first time and some matzah pizza... then I went downstairs, watched 'the skulls' for a while and went to bed. I should be in bed right now for goodness sakes... but I'm kind of hoping curtis will come online soon (once he gets home from 80's night)...
So... it's now 2:26am... I have to drive my dog to the dog groomer at 8am... So, I'll be lucky if I get 5 hours sleep tonight... I'm planning on handing out 20+ resumes tomorrow, and I know if I don't get a good nights sleep, there's no way I'm going to be up for it... I hate the entire resume process... I wish I could just call a couple places and BOOOOM I'm hired...
Anyways... I give up, I've lost my patience for staying online. Who knows, maybe tomorrow will end up being a good day after all...
Current mood: 
exhausted

4:54PM - today... gah....
I didn't wake up until 2:30 today, cause Curt came over last night and we didn't go to bed until 6:30 in the morning... now I have to go get ready and go all the fucking way to Kitchener for "family time". Oh Joy. The only way kitchener is bearable is because normally everyone gets drunk... but I'm not even in the mood for a single drink after last night and the abundance of beer. So tonight should just be a pocket full of a fun. All I want to do is curl up in my warm water bed with a book and stay there all night. It was soooo good to have a guy to cuddle with last night. I missed that. I missed the security of having a man's arms around me, or having someone to rest my head on while I'm watching a movie... I missed the sensation of having someone brush the hair out of my face and tuck it behind my ear. GAH, I missed it all!!! I really do think I should become a pimp, except instead of my "workers" performing sexual acts... they'd get payed to cuddle someone. Because, deep down, when someone is single the thing that everyone always says they miss the most (yep, guys too) is the cuddling. Who needs a prostitute when you can masturbate? But, you can't cuddle yourself... well you can try, but it's pretty damn crappy and after about 2 seconds you realize that you look like a fool.
4:45PM - Who Will Cry For The Little Child?
Who will cry for the little child,
who stands before you?
Who will cry for the little child,
who was abandoned from the womb?
Who will cry for the little child,
who’s never known a home?
Who will cry for the little child,
who was never kissed goodnight?
Who will cry for the little child,
who cries herself to sleep?
Who will cry for the little child,
who walks every step alone?
Who will cry for the little child,
who tries so hard to be good?
Who will cry for the little child,
who is beaten black and blue?
Who will cry for the little child,
who knows nothing but rain?
Who will cry for the little child,
who’s heart is in pieces?
Who will cry for the little child,
who’s so far out of reach?
Who will cry for the little child,
who cries inside of me?

6:16AM - Is a kiss just a kiss?... My rockstar and my rock.
The second most important man in my life is my rockstar and my rock. aka. curtis. He's my superhero I guess you could say. Sometimes when it'd be nice for him to be there, he's no where to be found... but whenever tragedy strikes... whenever I really need someone to be there, he's there in an instant. He's been one of the only people I could open up to. He's this amazing man, who's a rockstar at heart, but who's heart couldn't be farther away from rock. He's one of the only men I know who can put me in my place by telling me to "Shut up" (when I need to) and yet he'll bring me chicken noodle soup in a thermos when I'm sick. He can make me laugh, he can make me cry. Lord knows we've had a million ups and downs, yet there's a permanency and consistancy about our relationship. I don't have to be anyone but myself around him. Last night, he invited me (more told me) to the bar to celebrate him being done exams. As he introduced me to each one of his friends, it consistantly came up "Oh!!! You're Dianna. I've heard so much about you". In front of all of his friends he kept saying how, besides his mother, I was the only woman he cared about. I love that about him. I love that he wouldn't for a second consider being anyone else... and then this girl came up to him... this skinny... gorgeous... girl... and in front of everyone she started talking about how "Curtis is a pimp, he took my virginity" blah blah blah. And then the oddest emotion came over me. I felt Jealousy towards this semi-obnoxious, overly flirtacious, stick of a woman. I hardly ever experience jealousy. And jealousy towards a friend's ex girlfriend? I don't get it!!! It's rediculous. Which makes me wonder: Is he just my rockstar friend? When he bent over and kissed my head last night, was that just as a friend? When I brag about him at every occasion, is that simply because I admire him and am proud of him?OR deep down, do I think that my rockstar and my rock, could be the man I've always needed? Could deep down I want my rockstar to be my boyfriend? Is a kiss just a kiss? I wish I knew.
5:48AM - Objective
Some people say it is hard to describe yourself, your life, your personality. How many times have you heard people struggle to simply find three adjectives to describe themselves? I know there was a time when I too struggled to find three adjectives. My inhibitions got in the way of the truth, I was scared to sound over-confident or vain. I no longer struggle to find these three adjectives, nor do I struggle to find twenty or thirty. If anything, I struggle to stop listing my traits. If I can one day look back upon my life, and know that the world saw me for me, I will be happy. If I can one day look back upon my life, and know that the world saw every line on my hand, every wrinkle, every emotion, every thought, than it will be a life well lived. I suppose this journal is a start. I've struggled my entire life to show emotion. I remember when I was a child my mother used to sing me this song. I still remember the lyrics:
"Smile though your heart is acheing/Smile even though it's breaking/when there are clouds in the sky/you'll get by if you smile/through your tears and sorrow/smile and maybe tomorrow/you'll find that life will be worthwhile/if you just light up your face with gladness/hide every trace of sadness/although a tear may be ever so near/that's the time you must keep on trying/smile what's the use of crying?"
Those words seem so powerful to me. This song although on the surface may seem optimistic clearly sends the message that one should hide their feelings. I can not blame my fear of showing vulnerability upon a song. But, I do believe I was raised with the state of mind that crying showed weakness. I hope that through this journal, I will slowly break down that mentality. I hope that through this journal, I will slowly unlock all those doors I've kept hidden from the world. I hope that through this journal, I may find my voice. I hope that through this journal I will learn to cry for the young child who cries inside of me.
