Pay no mind what other voices say
They don't care about you
Like I do, like I do
Safe from pain and truth and choice
And other poison devils
See, they don't give a fuck about you
Like I do - A Perfect Circle - "Pet" (13th step track 10)
Anyway...
Deja' Vu... all over again...
A year ago tonight... on the Sunday after "Sweetest" Day... It was the last time I saw Mollie. She was a girl who was beautiful, who I liked very much. She was a girl I thought was worth falling for... but it wasn't to be. I opened myself up only to be hurt yet again.
So here we are a year later... Kristen is a girl that is beautiful, and who I like very much. On top of that it seemed she liked me as well... ("Like" sounds so childish)... I thought she was worth falling for....
We had a great night at that reception about a month ago... I don't connect with people very well anymore... but we connected pretty well... She seemed like a good fit. I tried to go out with her afterwards but she cancelled on me... Not once but TWICE.
Now... I couldn't ask her out after that... for fear of the "Third Strike". So a few weeks go by... Which became a month or so from the day that I met her.
Earlier today I was talking to her on AIM and invited her to my birthday party. Just out of conversation I asked her if she was seeing anyone... (Really I was expecting her to say NO so I could tell her to go out with me sometime - Kinda like the whole "Do I get to kiss you again or was that a one time thing" last year) - Well... once again I am thwarted by my own cleverness.... She said that she has started seeing a friend of hers...
So, at that point I tell her that is why I wasn't a priority... And she says "Sorry" and "You hate me"
Well... she should have told me. I'm not pissed at her, I say... She insists we can still hang out... I answer with "I'm not really good at being the third wheel with the girls that I like" - that was pretty much it.
Honestly, I am not pissed at Kristen at all... I am just disappointed.
I am pissed at myself for letting this happen... Once again I open up just to be hurt. It's not as if I loved her or anything... Or even if my relationship with her really meant anything... It's just the hope I saw in her. A connection that I thought I had made, and was obviously mistaken. Looking forward to seeing her again, getting to know her... etc. A month. Gone.
So Kristen, if you should ever read this... I can't fault you.
I just want to be part of someone's priorities for once.... When I meet a girl I clear my schedule to have the time open to get to know them.
So, I don't know what to do... This just capped of a really shitty weekend for me.
Last night was the TCM movie incident. This morning I was walking about in my pj bottoms and my grandmother basically called me fat. So I am just hurt all around. I want to hide under a rock, drink vanilla pepsi, eat some candy... and die.
I am so self concious of my weight that I feel like shit most of the time. In turn I eat to make myself feel better. Damn this vicious cycle.... I really need to do something about my life.
I just want to turn it all off again. I don't want to feel anything for a while. But unlike last year, I am not going to start drinking heavily like I did... I gave that up and I am going to stick to it.
Just need a way to deal... and some hope for once.
