  • Caprica

    Just finished watching the Caprica DVD that came out last Tuesday.  Totally gonna love watching that show.  Too bad it does not come out until 2010.  Who knows what the world will be like then?  Psycho-analyzing myself again tonight.  Thinking about my life.  Where I've been and where I'm going.  I'm introspective like that.  So here we are.  My thoughts are very sporatic and random right now so I'm going to just list them out for you and go from there.

    1. It seems like everyone in the world falls in love so easily... except for me.  Am I just odd?  I think that I've been completely captivated by another person a total of two times in my entire life.  And when you experience emotions that extreme, everything else pales in comparison.  I've grown to learn that it takes time to learn and love another person.  I'm incredibly patient about such things, but sometimes it just never happens.  I think I've become so obsessed with avoiding negative things that I forget that you have to take the good and the bad when it comes to other people. 
    2. It's amazing how insanely logical I am. My brain processes everything as 1s and 0s.. like computer code.  Even emotional situations.  I map out the most likely outcomes of any situation based on my observations of outside stimuli, and I cross-reference that with what are "staples" of my personality matrix.  And most of my decisions go from there.  Does that make me dull, boring, or just practical?  I'm just working based on the evidence that I have in front of me.  When I am presented with a viable reason to rework my theories, then perhaps I will walk down that path.  But for now, my judgement stands.
    3. I need to see some positive examples of long term relationships.  I mean other than my parents and other select family members.  I need more evidence to make a case for LTR because right now the cards are stacked against the positive outcomes of such and endeavor. 
    4. I wish someone would surprise me and be different for a change.
    5. I wonder if my previous life as a JesusFreak has something to do with the fact that I have more faith in a "higher power" than in flesh and blood people.
    6. I need to go to bed.

  • I do and don't want...

    Sitting here listening to "Petals" by Mariah Carey and I've just had the most amazing revelation.  It's been a very long time since I have actually thought about what I do and don't want in this life.  I've become very much the type of person that just coasts through life day to day without giving a lot of thought to yesterday or tomorrow.  I'm very much a "in the now" person.  But I'm starting to realize that does not work for a lot of people.  Most people want to at least have a grip on where they going, how they feel... and how I feel in return.  So I'm going to be daring and try to answer some part of that for you.  And I'm sure some of you won't like it.  I'm sure you'll be impatient, frustrated, feel betrayed and all kinds of other things... but this is just reality.  Please understand that this is just how I feel right NOW.  I can't tell you how I am going to feel tomorrow a year from tonight. But this is just where I am today.

    1. I don't ever want to feel trapped.  Because of a bad experience I had in a previous relationship, for me being "trapped" current means being in a place where I can't escape.  Waking up every day to chaos and confusion and pain and heartache.  Forced to endure a person and a place that was draining the life out of me.  I'm not ready to play house again.  I'm not ready to do the "married" thing.  Not today, not tomorrow, and not for a while.  I still want it...someday.  But I'm still healing right now so it's not something I even have on my radar.  I love my roommates.  I like being able to come and go as I please.  Being able to feel free in my own home. I want it to stay that way.... for now.
    2. I want to go bowling and have drinks with my friends.  I want to laugh and be silly and flirt and dance and then go home at the end of the night to my own apartment and sleep in my own bed. 
    3. I don't want anyone asking me where I am or where I am going.  That makes me feel controlled and trapped (see #1).
    4. I don't want to hear the words "Long Term Relationship".  I don't even want to think that far ahead.  And not because I don't want it... it time, but because my brain is still trying to get around the fact that the last time I tried to play house and do the LTR thing - it blew up in my face.  "Cause he's taken you for granted, and everything you had got destroyed".  I'll get back there someday.  But I'm not there right now.
    5. I want to cuddle and snuggle and watch tv and laugh and be silly.
    6. I want to be able to have my alone time without making anyone feel abandoned or insecure.
    7. I just to take it one day at a time, living in the moments that we have now.. without having to contemplate tomorrow.
    8. I want time and space to heal.  Somethings still hurt. 
    To be continued...

  • More Petals

    Gonna go to sleep soon. But I wanted to stop by and let you know that I miss you dandelion and I really love you. Who is my dandelion? It's a line from the song "Petals" by Mariah Carey. She is talking about her sister. She sings my heart, but I think you know where I am going. I have been blessed to have capture the hearts of many. But that's starting to hurt... starting to pull at me. Because all I want for you is to be happy. To smile, to be joyous, to be as happy...happier than I am. I wish I could give you that and more. But I'm not sure I know how...

    I tried to hard to preserve my sanity. I found the strength to break away. Fly....

    I know there is a rainbow...

  • Rules of Engagement

    You know how sometimes people get confused or surprised or something whenever you react to something they did or didn't do.  That was wordy I know.  Anyway, I was watching Voyager last night and Tuvok (my fav) said something profound.  "I am who I am, I cannot be any less or more of who I am."  So with that being said... in an attempt to help you understand me as I, here are a few of my rules of engagement.

    1. I am a very logical thinking person.  I see the world in black and white, 1s and 0s.. for the most part.  Because I am human, I am also emotional - but I keep that on a tight leash.  
    2. I only apologize once.  If you tell me what I did wrong, I will apologize - but that's all you are getting.  I'm not going to make a sad face or beat myself up.... and I most certainly won't let you beat me up... not interested.  I'll try to do better next time, but life has to move on.  You can mourn.  You can vent.  But take it somewhere else.  I really don't want to hear it.  Come talk to me when you've calmed down and dealt with that on your own time.
    3. Life is short and I don't like to waste time.  I have seen a lot of people come and a lot of people go.  I've learned to keep living.  My life isn't going to stop because people decide to leave.  If you wanna go... please, by all means - go.  I won't chase you.  I won't follow you.  I won't pretend to miss you.  Logic remember.  I'll just simply... stop.  So keep on going.

  • Petals

    4am and I'm still awake.  Bouncing around on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.  Methods of madness for our day.  Headphones in my ear.  Listening to Mariah Carey on repeat.  Same song all day.  Petals.  "And I miss you and even love you, and I wish there was a way for me to trust you.  But it hurts me everytime I try to touch you."  I love how Mariah sings my heart.  It's been so long since I have actually spent any time thinking about my emotions or just allowing myself to FEEL.  I'm so anti-emotional these days, but it's clear that I'm just as human as I have ever been.  "And I miss you little sis and little brother, and I hope you realize I'll always love you.  And although you're struggling, you will recover..."

    Lately I think about love more often than I should.  It's funny how we think we know what it is or what it should be and yet it never seems to be that way.  But it seems so simple.  How card can it really be for you to just love me for me?  To consider me in your thoughts and your actions and your deeds.  Is it something I did?  Something I said?  Something I'm not.  Hmmm.  I wanna stop this train of thought before it goes any further.

    The moon is shining brightly outside.  I can see it from my bed.  In my mind I am standing out there alone and the wind is blowing.  The seasons are changing.   We're all damaged.  Oh so damaged.  I guess we can only do our best.  At least that is what I am attempting to do.  "And I hope you realize I'll always love you."

    I just really don't want to end up regretting what my life is become or where it is going.  Jason was right.  So much buried away.  Who would have guessed that below this stoic exterior is an emotional powerhouse.  No turning back now.  I feel like all I can do is move forward and try again.  Somewhere beyond here.  Becoming, always becoming, and becoming.  And I wish that you and I'd forgive each other, because I miss you Valentine - and I really love you.
