11:03 p.m.
Dinner at Brenner & Gina's tonight... yummy spicy-curry-mustard chicken, Sex in the City, and excellent conversation (which these days for me usually means that whoever I'm talking to is still willing to listen to me bitch, but at least tonight I got dragged out of my bog for a while).
I do at least have some plans laid out for this weekend, but I'm still not sure what to do Friday night. Maybe I'll go to B&G's Palace O'DVD's™ and see what they have available for rent. Or, if someone feels the need to drag me away from this house, that'd be okay, too. *ahem*Erik*ahem* :-)Wednesday, July 10, 2002
10:08 p.m.
christ. I still have dead leaves laying on my desk from the last rose that Stew ever brought me. I shake my fist at the world, crying, wondering why it seems that everyone around me is blissfully happy whilst I sit here in misery. Oh woe is me. </melodrama>
Time for : What's Miz_A's Mood Now??
I'm wavering between the 2 extremes of bitter hateful anger and severely melodramatic (yet real) depression. This house, this place, this man, this has all been my life for a year, this was supposed to be my life for the rest of my earthly years. Alas, that's not the way it worked out. I know acceptance is something that can only come in time, but the moments between now and then are unbearable.
Well, at least I'm writing again, even if it's melodramatic/depressing/pissy and not all that good. Silver linings, people! *sigh*Tuesday, July 9, 2002
11:05 p.m.
Current mood: Bitchy. Keep this in mind.
Current favorite platitude: "It'll all work out in the end" (or some variation of this).
Well, no shit, sherlock. I've got two choices: It'll all work out, or I'll DIE! And since I've got no suicidal tendencies at the moment, and I doubt I'm going to get run over by a bus or flattened by a tornado, I guess it's ALL GOING TO WORK OUT. I'm not after that kind of friendly advice, thanks. I want distractions and escapes and refuges from this awful dreary reality that has been thrust upon me. Take me out, tell me stories, dress me up, dye my hair, stick me in front of a game, a movie, a strip club. Drag me away from this existence that pains me every minute I endure it.
*sigh*
I'm sorry if I've just offended you, any of you. I really am. I'm not going to delete what is above, though, because it's a part of me. This blog/journal/diary/whatever has become my way of venting, of exploring my feelings and the way I think. Which means some days it'll be sad and remorseful, others just plain depressing, and as I'm sure you've noticed, some days it'll be down right angry and bitchy. All parts of me. All pieces that make me who I am. Deal with it. *ahem*Tuesday, July 9, 2002
10:51 p.m.
...........and catapult right back into pissy anger mode again. My weekend plans were canceled, thankyewverrymuch, I find out that Stew has planned a big gun day/campout thing this weekend that I knew absolutely nothing about (understood, I s'pose, since I'm only an EX), and I'm cranky and bitter and bitchy and I feel UGLY AS SIN. I ain't beggin' for support or anything right now, just putting down in words how I feel at the moment. It'll pass, all my moods do, but right now..... GGGGGRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrr.Tuesday, July 9, 2002
07:31 p.m.
I have reached the time of massive mood swings. Bitterly, sadly accepting, to angry, to massively depressive low self-esteem, to horny and desiring, to despondent, to guilty, to melancholy, and bottoming out at depression with a bad case of low self-esteem and hopelessness. *sigh* I hate this shit.

Oh man... it just ain't right, being brought to tears at 9:30 in the morning. Go flip to Ben's page and look at the title. It won't be there long, so here's what it says: "You are one of the most beautiful people I have ever known in my life. I mean that down to the center of my very soul." That on top of Trav's statement of: "Anneliese, you are beautiful. I knew that 10 years ago." That on top of an absolutely lovely email from Caleb. I can hardly believe the wonderful people I have in my life. I guess I can stand being brought to tears at 9:30 in the morning if it's for something as beautiful as that. :-)
HAPPY JULY 4TH!!
Right. Went to Erik's last night and watched Ocean's Eleven. I've seen it once before, and I still like it. The chemistry between Brad Pitt and George Clooney was well done, though I have a huge problem in believing that Julia Roberts (spoiler!!) goes back to George at the end. Whateva. Then I listened to Erik play electric guitar for a while. Boy needs to get in a band, I'm telling ya... he's really talented.
And on a side note ~ my description of why I'm thanking Erik down below may be misinterpreted, and I wanted to clear that up ~ what I mean is, he yells at me when I'm feeling really depressed but have that "I dowanna be a buuuuurden" feeling, and thus don't call him so he can cheer me up.

I changed the title. The reference is to something my counselor told me. The critical parent is a way of criticizing yourself, and it's harmful to your self-esteem.
I'm not really living in sin the way I used to be, so I felt a change was necessary.Tuesday, July 2, 2002
08:54 p.m.
You know what I need? I need someone to tell me I'm beautiful, with that spark in their eye that means they mean it down to the depths of their soul.

What I should be doing:
Going to the store
Going to the post office
Making lists

Take a bath

Oh, the life cycle of mourning the loss of a relationship.
Sometimes I'm angry: I hate him, I hate the world, I hate the circumstances, I hate me.
Sometimes I wonder what I could have done ("bargaining"): If only I'd.... If I'd just done... If I'd just gotten over... If only I could've been...
Sometimes I'm just plain depressed: But I love him! I miss him! I need him! I can't see my life without him!
Sometimes I'm filled with despair: I'm going to be lonely for the rest of my life, I'm unlovable, I'm ugly, I have nothing going for me, I'll never find another partner again.
Some rare moments I'm filled with confidence, and these are usually the most beautiful and the most saddening at the same time: I will survive this, not only with grace but with aplomb. Not only will I survive, I will become happy and content with myself, and not expect other people to fill missing voids in my life. And not only that, I will remain friends with my ex and we will be able to see each other on a semi-regular basis with no hard feelings. These are the most beautiful because it's so rare that I am filled with confidence. They are the most saddening because they mean that I must come face to face with the fact that I will never again be intimate (in any sense of the word) with a man that I was once supposed to marry.
This is one of the most difficult times in my life. I don't know what else to say.
I will say several more things on a slightly related topic, though. I will say thanks to the people who care about me. Thanks to my mother, who always has been and always will be there for me; thanks to Travis, who never pushes me to talk but always lets me know that he's there if I need it; thanks to Ben, who says he's bad at trying to cheer people up, but cheers me up just by the mere fact that he's writing; thanks to Christian, who I've been incredibly uncommunicative with but still writes to tell me he's thinking about me; thanks to Sam, who, after all we've been through should probably be telling me where to shove it, but amazingly enough still cares; thanks to Erik, who's been there before and yells at me when I don't call when I should; thanks to Drew, who even on his day of wedded bliss gives me a huge hug, a kiss on the cheek, and heartfelt thanks for getting it together enough to come to his wedding; thanks to Mike and Christine, who know how to show a girl a good time when she needs it most.Saturday, June 29, 2002
02:45 a.m.
Fuck. This. Shit.
I still have people that love me and care about me. What use have I for some man that doesn't even give a shit what I think anymore?
disclaimer: this opinion will most likely change by tomorrow morning. Such is the life cycle of mourning.Tuesday, June 25, 2002
09:05 p.m.
My life is shit right now. I don't even want to talk about it. thanks for all the words of support, they really do mean a lot to me, I need all the strength I can get.
And I have Xanax now too, which is helping me to, oh, function on a day-to-day basis. And what I really want to do is take a nice hot bath, but I still have much work to do before I sleep.
SHIT, I tell you. I never thought my life would come to this.
Don't expect many updates right now. All I'll do is repeat "my life is shit right now" over and over again, because I really don't want to talk about it.Sunday, June 23, 2002
10:28 p.m.
Comets go "Poof!"
No news yet. I don't know when there will be. Thanks so much for the thoughts and nice emails; they mean a lot to me.Saturday, June 22, 2002
05:14 p.m.
Oh, fuck.
Tomorrow, dear readers, tomorrow I find out what direction my life will take. Tonight is going to be hell. Massive horrible depressive hell. Please everyone send some hope and/or blessings my way, because I'm going to need every bit of strength I can get.
FUCK.Thursday, June 20, 2002

And when you think you've hit the worst, maybe the person who means the most comes along and makes some of your fears seem silly and groundless (in a good way, of course). And so maybe you can start trying to crawl out of the pit of despair and depression that you've managed to dig for yourself.Wednesday, June 19, 2002

Why does it seem like almost every hardcore cam-girl out there is a total nutjob? Maybe I'm looking at the wrong hardcore camwhoresgirls... but it seems like all of 'em are: manic-depressive / OCD / schizophrenic / suicidal or abused by a: mother / father / boyfriend / ex-boyfriend / all the people they thought were their friends or had a bad: home life / childhood / 4 years in high school or are on: booze / pills / meds / meds that aren't prescribed to them and of course they're all scared of: the outdoors / leaving the house / meeting new people / doing something that involves getting off the net.
Sigh.
Yeah fine, flame away, whatever. Bear in mind, I'm not talking about the people that have a cam, update it every now and then, update sometimes in a online blog/diary. I'm talking the girls that completely overhaul their site 2x a month, complete with funky javascript and hard-to-navigate links, and update their cams at least 3x a day. Everyday. And who consistently are in their own little chat rooms, available to talk about their problems with OCD. Oi.Monday, June 17, 2002

Accomplishments for the day:
-Bought some new clothes at WallyWorld
-Went to Panera, picked up lunch
-Went to the doctor, found out what was wrong with my ears
-Went to Walgreen's, filled the prescription. Here's the really cool part - the appt. at the doctor's was at 1:20. I was in and out of the doctor's and Walgreen's both before 2 pm. :-)
-Came home. Ate lunch. Had a 20 minute nap. Which almost made me late to...
-My eye doctor appointment at 4 pm. Got the exam, got contacts, got info about LASIK surgery, picked out new frames (including a pair of clip-on sunglasses) and a funky pair of new sunglasses. Grand total that I paid: $254. I love having insurance.
-Bought a fountain coke at McDonald's. There ain't nothin' quite like 'em.
-Came home, authorized my new Diamond Platinum MC, and read some information about my pension plan through VNU. I AM A FULLY FUNCTIONING MEMBER OF SOCIETY!! Crazy, baby.
Been such a productive day. Tomorrow - Payless for new shoes, and Great Clips for a haircut.

People & random thoughts
Picking up someone's bar tab unexpectedly and for no apparent reason
Talking to someone that you immediately feel like you've known for years
Knowing instinctively the right thing to say and do, and discovering that for once, your instincts were right
Really really honestly wishing someone good luck in their relationship because after all these years, you realized there's a reason you're not together
probably because you know you make better friends than lovers
Finally understanding a portion of yourself that caused you trouble for over 2 years
Having a few more moments where you feel like you're actually accomplishing something
Wishing you knew the right words to say that would make everything okay
New music... good music
Hearing "I love you" voluntarily when you weren't entirely positive you were going to hear it again
Getting the people around you smashed and listening to college stories
Someone being happy because you told them you really like their haircut
Feeling hopeful

I'll make a public announcement here, so I don't have to send out a bunch of redundant emails: the wedding I was having in September has been postponed. Note that is not canceled, only postponed. Feel free to email me if you want details, but don't expect too much; I don't really feel like talking about it.

[edit] I've always thought that posting song lyrics was a cheap way to get out of composing an actual entry. but. this is how I feel right now.
Of all the things I've believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by
I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
It feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend and I said
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light but it's not right
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
And it hurts to want everything & nothing at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine
I want you but I'm not giving in this time
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
And when the stars fall I will lie awake
You're my shooting star
