Bastard Blurty Entry

It’s 7:44 PM on Sunday, August 31, 2003. This entry will be placed post-dated to this day because I have no Internet access. Simple as that, I suppose.

I feel . . .

I don’t know how I feel.

This weekend, I came down to see Tricia. I drove eight and half hours in Gwen. I was pulled over for speeding. How stupid could I have been? Pulled over for going 78 in 65 mph. I barely made it three counties! I’m so embarrassed! You have no idea! I could cry because of this incident; because I’m so humiliated.

As the journey went on, I was so paranoid, I let drivers just come right around me. I took it very slow, kept my eyes on the speedometer the entire time. Of course, I was still going fast enough to get an air flow through my window, allowing for that annoying squeal the entire trip down there.

When I did get down here, I embraced and kissed Tricia. We attempted to fool around . . . but had some complications (I’d rather not say here) and we immediately took off for the beach house. I was so tired and so paranoid, plus a little uneasy due to the fact that I left Gwen in the garage alone.

Sigh.

So, we got down here and the whole time, I’ve been paranoid and like I’m being monitored as if I’ve done some great crime. Whenever - WHENEVER - Tricia and I are alone, I feel like we’re automatically being labeled “having sex. Bad kids.”

I’ve been such a pain in the ass this trip, it feels like. Yesterday, I had some O.J. . . . that was two months old. Needless to say, I had an upset stomach later and was unable to eat the $17.00 meal last night. It’s almost as if the relationship I had with Mr. Clem and Tina has devolved somewhat. Like I’m sort of parasite, spoiling their trips down here.

Ugh.

I’m alone for the first time, and I have to say it’s quite nice. Peaceful.

I’ll be honest, this weekend has been no picnic, but at least I get to be with Tricia. That’s what matters, I suppose. Although I’ve felt this sort of pressure to act a certain way. I’m not sure if she understands that or not. Maybe she does and maybe she doesn’t. Maybe I'm just crazy.

I’m struggling a lot with the bigger problems in my life. School. Work. Home. This weekend has been somewhat refreshing, but more stressful than I would like it to be. I know, I know. I’m making it stressful, but that’s just the way I feel.

That’s how I feel . . . stressful.

I dunno.

We’re heading back up to Davidson tomorrow, so maybe that’ll relax me up some. In the meantime, I think I’m going to just recollect myself and hope that this lackluster weekend will end up being a good one.

1:32pm: Need some direction in my life . . .
I don't know, blah.

I need some direction in my life. I need to make some decisions as to where I wanna go. Do I want to try to go back to school? Now I'm not so sure. I had this dream last night that I was back in an English class, and this paper was due. I didn't have it done, so when we presented it up in front of the class, I had to make it up as I went along (I've done that before, actually).

Which brings up a good point: do I really want to go through that again? Do I want to have to worry about reading text books or writing stupid papers or trying to decypher math or anythinglike that? Do I want that?

I need an education, but I'm not sure I want it like this. I want to write. I love writing. I want to learn. I love learning. But do I really wanna pay a SHITLOAD of money for this? I'm not sure anymore. I used to be able to say "Hell yes!" but now I'm not quite as stern and steady about it as I once was.

And the funny thing is, in three days I'll be all like "I want to go back to school!" I can't make up my mind because I don't know what I want in my life.

Except for this . . .

I want to stop bonouncing between home, work and North Carolina. Something has to change. Something must change. This much is for certain.

Stay tuned . . .

Current Mood: confused
Current Music: "I'm Lost" - Lilo and Stitch soundtrack
1:56pm: "I may never get what I want
But I'm happy just to die trying
And I hope I ain't done nobody wrong
But I miss you smiling
And I'm looking for a cure cause I'm bored to tears
And I'm stuck in here, stuck out here, stuck in here

We lived through another day
It's a good excuse to celebrate
Take a number knock on wood
We'll find a reason to feel good

I know you know I wanna know how I feel
I can't even tell (3)

No one knows nothing about me
I'm guessing I'll just keep 'em guessing
No one sees what I see
This is my blessing
And I'm looking for a way to get out of here
Get me out of here, out of here, out of here

We lived through another day
It's a good excuse to celebrate
Take a number knock on wood
Find a reason to feel good
I know you know you wanna know how I feel
I can't even tell (3)

I'm out of here, out of here, out of here
I know you know I want to know how I feel
I can't tell
I know you know I'll tell you if it's real
It sounded like a bell
I can't even tell
I can't even tell

- Sould Asylum, "I Can't Even Tell"

Just the way I feel, I guess. Good song.
