                <description><![CDATA[ Hate....love.....choice.....fate.....<br />Those words are all connected, a part of the reality we face on a daily basis.<br /><br /><b>Hate</b><br />What is hate? I don't know, at least not the dictionary definition of it. It is lashing out based on emotion. It is yelling mean words and not regretting them ever. It is hiding hurt under walls and barriers. It is following misguided lessons and not knowing better. It is pain, but  not necessarily your own. It is infliction. It is a defense mechanism. It....is ugly. Hate justifies anger, which justifies violence, which in turn justifies death. But is any of that really justified? Do we deserve death? Do we deserve words that tear us down and reduce us to nothing? What is the point? Hate only spreads more hate, extinguishes the light that is human beauty. It destroys...and what is destroyed cannot always be made anew...<br /><br /><b>Love</b><br />What is love? Again, I don't know the real definition. It is an emotion, an intense, overwhelming emotion... It makes people smile for no reason. It makes us giddy. It makes us feel safe, feel wanted. It keeps us calm. It makes up hyper. It heals. It helps. It simply is. And it...is beautiful. Love is the remedy to hate. It is much stronger, yet less well used. Love is overused, making it weak and docile. It means little in today's society. Except when it is real... Then it is extraordinary. It is beautiful and healing and....magnificent....<br /><br /><b>Choice</b><br />To make a decision. To do something based on contemplation and/or advice from others. Living is a choice, as is death, if you think about it in certain lights. It is a choice to learn or to remain ignorant. It is a choice to voice your ignorance as truth and garner followers so that you may spread the abundance of hate that is in this world. It is a choice to kill, to hit, to yell, to harm. Life is nothing but choices. Right ones, wrong ones...good ones, bad ones...<br /><br /><b>Fate</b><br />A predestined course of action that is beyond all mortal control. A reality or a farce? Time of birth... Amount of time on earth.... Moment of death, as well as manner.... These are predestined situations. Fate rules. She takes her time and toys with mere mortals. She controls all from afar. There are so many choices we have, but she still remains omnipotent. She controls who we will one day fall in love with. She controls the type of people we are to hate. Or....does she?<br /><br /><i>Will you let <b>hate</b> rule you?<br />Who will you <b>love</b>?<br />What <b>choices</b> will you make?<br />Where will <b>fate</b> guide you...?</i><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, a few things piss me off. First, people saying pansexuality is the same as bisexuality. No. It is not the same thing. I am pan, not bi. Bis can be pan without knowing, but a pan is not bi. Bi denotes a binary--the male/female binary in fact. In contrast, pan denotes <i>all</i>, meaning male/female and <i>all</i> that is beyond. What is beyond, you ask? Oh, where do I start.... The most simplistic point to start is trans, pre-everything in particular. Post hormones and surgeries they're more likely to be considered their actual gender (with some exceptions), especially after bottom surgery. Before hormones and surgery they are still, under all their clothes and bindings and extras, physically their biological gender, and plenty of people in this world have issues with that. Even bisexuals do. They want a male or a female, not something in between, not a person in the middle of a transition.<br /><br />Another person beyond the male/female binary is genderqueer individuals. These are people who identify as both and/or neither male/female. They may be bigendered, androgynous, or some other individual interpretation of the term. If they're a genderfuck they'll purposely go out of their way to bend gender norms to make a statement, or just to express themselves more completely. These aren't as obvious as trans because they're not always "loud" in their gender identity, but it is still an identity beyond the binary. As such, not all bisexuals would be willing to date a genderqueer individual; that, or be unable to wrap their mind around such a concept.<br /><br />As a pansexual, gender is irrelevant. One of the most impacting statements regarding pansexuality is "love the person, not the gender." The definition of pansexuality is "the aesthetic, emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attraction to a person regardless of gender, including those outside the gender binary."  I can understand how this may seem a complex concept to wrap your mind around, but that does NOT mean you can call me a bisexual. I take offense to that. I mean, yea, I like boys and girls, but actually, my preferences lean towards benders of different sorts. I like femme boys, butch girls, and actual intentional benders. The two relationships I've had with the most love were with a bigendered female and Wolfy, an ftm trans. Hell, I don't even like gender or to look at it as a binary. I myself identify as genderqueer--androgynous female.<br /><br />So, what that little bit comes down to is--I am <b>not</b> bisexual and do not appreciate being labeled as such. If you're going to label me, at least have the decency to use the correct label--which in this instance is <i><b>PANSEXUAL</b></i>.<br /><br />As to the second thing that royally irks me, I find it quite offensive that bisexuals are perceived as sluts/whores/greedy/etc. Yea, sure, some people will say they're bi for the attention and to sleep around and stuff, but TRUE bisexuals are just like those of any other sexuality--people looking for love and comfort. They just feel attraction towards both males and females. This in no way connotes a sexual greed. It's funny, on occasion, to make jokes, but know that the reality is that bisexuals are <b>not</b> greedy sluts. I know that doesn't exactly entirely relate to me, but I still find it offensive.<br /><br />A third thing, speaking/thinking of things that don't exactly relate directly to me that are irksome--gender pronouns. It is very offensive that people will use the wrong pronoun when talking to/about trans just because they know what they were born as. It is highly offensive and rude. As if trans don't have enough to go through with transitioning, but then those around them have to go and use the gender pronoun that does not fit their gender identity--or even their appearance the further into their transition they progress. Like, Wolfy passes 100%, yet his two best friends, several teachers, and others at school and his apartments will still call him "her" Uhm...NO. He is a <i><b>HE</b></i>! No matter what, I always call him "him." All the trans I've ever talked to, I automatically think of them in the correct pronouns. Others should do the same... Just because they were born one way, that is not necessarily who they are. I have never really talked with any MtFs, but I have talked with several FtMs, and I always them of them as boys, as guys--because that's exactly what they are. How would you like to be called the wrong pronoun? It's not very nice, not at all. Not if you don't like it.<br /><br />What I mean about the not liking it bit, I like it when people think I'm a guy a lot of the time. Doesn't happen too very often at the moment, but when people call me "he" and such, I get a little thrill. That's my androgyny speaking. One of the nicest things that I've ever had asked of me was which pronoun I preferred because me and this kid were talking and I mentioned I was genderqueer. Truthfully, I don't really care which pronoun is u... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Today royally sucks. Woke up and thought I had a 9a. Good thing was I didn't, not that I was late or anything. Just thought I had to take a shower, which meant stopping talking to Wolfy. Which I didn't really want cuz I still feel/felt off from last night. Then, after breakfast, I had to turn in letters for my scholarships and Sapph had gone earlier. Made me go alone. Don't like being alone for things like that; don't like people, I don't. Kept falling asleep in chem, which isn't going to help my grade. I don't even know why I'm always trying to sleep in there. And the worst bit--I'd thought to myself just before class that I wasn't even sleepy, which was a nice thing. Turns out I was wrong.... After trying to sleep through my entire class, I ask Sapph if he wants to get food and he doesn't, so I'm all alone--again. After lunch my belly rebels against me. Go to my lab for my final and realize after in the classroom and about to get the test that I forgot my calculator. Luckily for my, the professor lent me one. But, didn't help cuz, due to a lack of studying, I'd forgotten EVERY SINGLE FORMULA >.< Oh, and to top it all of, it's cold and rainy and dreary. I just feel a major need for attention and loving and comfort and hugs right now, but :sigh: oh well... I'll be okay (I hope). Today just seriously royally sucks for me. I wish I actually wanted to do something just to relieve the stress and "feel better" but I don't want to. I just want the day to be over already =/ :sigh: Whatever....<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />Luna<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <i>"I'm smiling to hide the fact I want nothing more than to cry."</i><br /><br />I'm not feeling "normal" right now. Lack of sleep is the most likely cause. My own fault. Everything is always my fault. I know. Excuse my self-pity. I know I'm going to end up being annoying, more than likely. Don't read. I just need to spill some thoughts. And I'm not in the mood to write stuff and no where near high enough to be spilling thoughts on paper.<br /><br /><i>"If I scream, will you be the one listening?"</i><br /><br />Dunno. The little quotes are mine. I own them. Steal, I be upset. But, I won't hunt you down or nothing. Although I can't promise not to haunt your dreams at night, lol.<br /><br /><i>"I swallow, again and again, but still sorrow lingers in the back of my throat..."</i><br /><br />You know, I really like making up quotes. They make me feel, I dunno, "wise." I like thinking up words and stringing them together prettily to form statements of a relative truth. After all, all truth is relative. What is true for me isn't necessarily true for all of you.<br /><br />:sigh: I feel wrong. I hate this feeling... I don't know how to explain, to express the half-thoughts, half-images in my mind. I'm not even looking at my wrists, yet a part of my mind focuses on them. I can feel red lines, but I know I'm not going to do anything. It isn't like I really feel like it. It's like...a thirst, a hunger to just do it and get it out of my system. I guess that's a good way to put it.<br /><br />You wanna know something? I actually don't like blood. I mean, I think it's pretty and all that, but I hate the taste/smell of it. I do like the idea of bloodplay to an extent, and in my mind I imagine "drinking" blood and stuff, but at the same time I know actually doing that would nauseate me. Odd, I know.<br /><br /><i>"Life spills so delicately, yet it is only a nightmare to wake screaming from."</i><br /><br />I dunno. That's a bad one. But, at the same time, quite pretty. I like pretty words, pretty things. I like beauty. I like seeing it where no one else notices it. Because, in all actuality, beauty is all around us. Even the most "ugly" person can have something beautiful about them, if you just know where and how to look. Maybe it's their eyes, their mouth, something small. But, chances are, it is there. Just gotta look. And isn't that what must be done with everything? Look, observe, seek.<br /><br />Totally random, but my roomie always smells so good o.o All of her lotions and sprays and stuff. I like 'em. They kinda fit her. Dunno. I just like how they/she smells, lol. Am I creepy? Never sure anymore...<br /><br />Okay, odd. My mind imagined red in places other than my wrists o.o It, like, never does that. I don't even ever imagine it where I actually have cut most recently (which I still won't reveal). This time it was my leg. Very odd. Only cut there on a few occasions, but it just wasn't "me," if that makes sense. Maybe you have to be a cutter to understand a statement like that...<br /><br />Are we the labels we bear? Or are the labels us? Who am I? Who are you? Are we one? Two? Many? Is there an answer...?<br /><br /><i>"Scars are hidden and tears are laughed away, but you'll never see who she really is."</i><br /><br />I hate freaking out. I hate breaking down for no reason. I hate being as emotional as I am. Trust me--I cannot control it. If I could, I wouldn't be who I am. I wouldn't be there for people like I try to be. Even though it sometimes hurts me to be there for people... I'd rather be there for them regardless. Like, last night, I started talking to someone new, and within hours she had told me her story. It hurt my heart to hear it, but it is still amazing, at least to me, how easily people open up to me. Even on here, people open up to me relatively easy on occasion. It's just...amazing... Why am I so easy to talk to? Like, I know I listen and I ask questions and pry, but still don't know/understand how people open up to me all the time.<br /><br />Wanna know something "funny"? People open up to me, but I don't always easily open up to them. A few exceptions. Berto and Phoenix both get me to talk, Berto especially >.> Wolfy is starting to get past my walls, but I know they're big and all. It's hard to get them down, even for love...<br /><br /><i>"I paint these ugly walls in crimson, warning you, pleading for you."</i><br /><br />I miss simplicity, if it ever existed. I miss Wolfy right now. I miss hugs... I think my last hugs were over the weekend from my parents. Good hugs, but I want a different kind. Miss being held and loved... :sigh: Okay, I'll admit it--I'm lonely. I feel alone. I know I'm not. I know I'm loved and stuff. But I still feel lonely. Been too long since I saw Wolfy. Almost 2months since I saw him... Sorrow... Won't be til at least January that I get to see him again =/ That makes me sad in a way.<br /><br /><i>"How can you love me despite this madness that puts such a strain... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, so I'm bored. And we all know just how much I <i>love</i> being bored. It's the light of my life. Just can't get enough of it.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/cough.gif" width="20" height="20" alt=":cough:" title="Cough" /> Okay, done with the sarcasm (for the moment). Roomie and her friend are in the room so I can't be playful/naughty to relieve my boredom. Besides, he's doing something anyway, so can't really distract him; wouldn't be nice of me. :sigh: Blah blah blah<br /><br />Roomie just keeps watching TV. Is on Hoarders or something now. Kinda nasty looking show. Was watching Family Guy. Oh god, my brain melted and brain cells deteriorated.<br /><br />Learning stuff. How fun. Or kinda learning it. More trans stuff. Always interesting.<br /><br />Wish roomie would go out like she usually does. I don't like having her here. But, that just me being selfish. Oh wells.<br /><br />Got my first final tomorrow-BioLab. Not 100% looking forward to that, especially cuz I didn't exactly study. Should've... Got my ChemLab final on Wednesday. How exciting >.< Next week is finals week where I take all my others. How fun, how fun.<br /><br />Okay, rolling stomach. WTF? Probably cuz all I've eaten today has been kinda junky-ish. Had a good breakfast at least. Lunch was semi-healthy. My "dinner" was (yucky) mongolian noodles, 2 Christmas tree cakes, a pack of crackers, hot chocolate and Snapple. Oh yum~ My stomach's not liking me too much right now though.<br /><br />Sounds like roomie may be going out. Maybe....<br /><br />It's getting late. But I;m not really all too tired. Took a nap earlier with Wolfy after he got home. Was nice. But not a good idea to stay up all night again tonight like I did last night. Hopefully I don't go crazy again >.> But I know when I have others around me to "distract" me I don't go as crazy as easily. Sure, I'll occasionally still go bonkers, but it's usually only to the point where I need to start writing. Have written some...interesting stuff in those moments at school. Luckily for me, that kind of crazy is a lot less noticeable than the crazy I went last night. <i>No one</i> has <i>ever</i> seen me go fully crazy. Makes me feel lonely, but is probably a good thing no one has played witness. Wouldn't blame a person for running away from <b>that</b> kind of madness. It scares me....<br /><br />Yhup, roomie is indeed going out for a bit. Dunno if for all night. Fingers crossed as I hope. Selfish, I'm well aware, but still~ I'm a very solitary person. Always kinda have been. Just don't like people in my space. Although....there is a voyeuristic plus to getting to watch a very attractive/cute/hot roommate change in front of you >.> Yes, I know I am semi-creepy, but really, I don't fully care. As long as I don't say or do anything, and I never would, it's all good--right? I'm not going to do anything. I just like to watch. And I watch anybody/anything that seems at least mildly interesting, so....<br /><br />Bugger, she'll be coming back. Her friend is still here.<br /><br />Yes, this is a real time journal. I'm just writing whatever pops into my head with no plan in mind. Not really anything new exactly, but I'm just boredom-rambling. Don't you all love when I do this? It is a nice little insight into my mind, no?<br /><br />Lalala.... I hate being bored. It is seriously the <i>worst</i> state of being to experience. Especially when can't really do anything to alleviate said boredom.<br /><br />And roomie is back.<br /><br />Her friend said something about holding her up or something, so maybe she is going. She is packing her purse--and that is an indicator that says "I'm probably not coming back til tomorrow morning." See, I have a silent language with her o.o But, we do talk some. Not a whole heck of a lot, but enough to cohabitate. Heh. Cohabitation with a quite attractive chick XD Too bad she is super duper straight and not at all my type, lol. Besides, I'm happy with my Wolfy. Mine mine mine.<br /><br />Goodness, my back hurts from sitting against the wall like this. Been like this for a couple hours, I'd guess. The li'l plastic piece on the strap, the adjuster bugger, of my camisole keeps poking into my shoulder blade. Irritating. But, I look nice in my opinion ^^ Androgyny is HOT. Looser jeans (bigger size from before major weight loss >.> ), brother's old green button-down, and had a hat on most of the day. Although, Wolfy told me today, when I was saying that I've passed in this shirt a coule times, that if we ever get mistaken for a gay male couple he'll force me to wear girl clothes for the rest of the week. Uhm, NO. I wear girl clothes for myself when I'm in the mood. And I think it'd be hilarious if we passed as a gay couple XD I like passing; it gives me a perverse glee. Guess that's my androgyny/genderbending speaking XD<br /><br />Speaking of gender, Wolfy thinks I might actually be bigendered because there's a thing on the internet called... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Last night was fun :eye roll: Went totally loco for no reason. Well, some reason, but it was all in my head. Knew that from the beginning. Just can't control it. Wish I could, but I just can't. Had voices screaming in my head since the night before. Anger, apparently, lowers all my walls and makes them more powerful. Too much emotion, passion. The voices just kept talking and screaming and yelling. Tempting, teasing, luring, lulling. I was so close to doing something stupid. Kept doing preventative things. Traced my wrist to metaphorically mutilate it. Word puke. Transcribed what one of the voices was saying. He, the voice, got interrupted before he was quite done because Wolfy finished what he was doing. Unfortunately for me, Wolfy ended up falling asleep. Left me alone with crazy. Yay~ Spent half an hour, maybe an hour talking to myself and rocking and moving and racing racing racing... My mind was moving and racing and I couldn't stop it. Writing wasn't helping. Talking wasn't doing much. Ended up trying to play a game on my iPod to drown out my head, and it worked. When Wolfy woke up (my accidental doing...) had him to "distract" me from my mind. He was sleepy, though, so I just let him go back to sleep and tried to keep the voices at bay. Turned on music. Played my game some more. Turned the room really cold so I'd wanna snuggle under my blankets and finally go to sleep. Ended up not going to sleep until 330, 4 in the morning. I wanted to sleep before then, but my mind was racing and moving and I couldn't stay still. Wolfy'd been asleep since WAY before then. For once he was the one asleep and I was the one awake. I wasn't having fun.... At least I got some sleep. I feel bad for being so bloody psycho. The downs are frequent, but when I actually go fast/high like that, it is SO much worse. Speed, talk, talk, move, move, speed. Everything moves... =/<br /><br />Just wanted to write a journal.

Too much hate and hurt, not enough love and comfort.<br /><br />My feet are too ticklish. I can't even itch them because it tickles. How pathetic is that...<br /><br />I miss my Wolfy.<br /><br />Going home this weekend for dentist appointment. Thanksgiving break starts on Wednesday. That means I have to come back up here for 3 days. Fun times...<br /><br />I almost half wish I were the type who goes out on Thirsty Thursday cuz I'm super duper bored in my dorm right now.<br /><br />James Blunt is playing on my iPod right now; I like his voice...<br /><br />I wanna see New Moon, but definitely not tonight. Gunna go with my mom, either this weekend or over break. Will be fun.<br /><br />Luna is asexually pansexual with Wolfy-sexual mixed in for good measure.<br /><br />:sigh:<br /><br />Dance under the stars and you're just another fool, but dance under the full moon and you dance with the Goddess.<br /><br />Dunno. Boredom equals random spewlings from my fingertips.<br /><br />I wish I could write, but I don't really have any inspiration at the moment. Just lots of broken, half thoughts, as is evidenced by this here journal.<br /><br />The bells are tolling 10p. No more bells after this until 7a.<br /><br />I never took a shower today. Got up too late then ended up sleeping from almost two until closeish to five.<br /><br />Only ate two meals today--breakfast and dinner. Belly has hurt since breakfast; I think it was the omelet's fault.<br /><br />My hands are really slim...but I like them.<br /><br />My belly is almost flat, I've lost so much weight. This time last year I was over 180, nearing 190. Now I'm in the 150-160 range. And Wolfy, when he visited, woulda guessed I weighed even less when he picked me up. Getting used to it, but still not the biggest fan.<br /><br />Wolfy just called me on Skype, so closing this now. Lurvels all who read my random rambles.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />Luna<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><br /></div></div> ]]></description>

What does she feel as tears well up behind her eyes? Is she insane like some believe? Is she broken like she claims? Is she really worth very much? Is she any more than a selfish little kid?<br /><br />I don't know who I am. I don't know what I'm feeling. Everything feels mildly wrong in my body at the moment. Like at any moment the smallest thing will push me into a fit of hysterics.<br /><br />What is wrong with her? What broke her? Who ripped into her heart? Who left such ugly marks on her soul? Who left her like this? Why was she beaten so roughly? Why was she used so ruthlessly? Does anyone really care about her? Is she worth the tears that would be shed if something were to happen to her?<br /><br />I know I'm worth much and all that blah blah. I know I'm loved. I know you people care about me. I know. But my heart still feels odd. My belly keeps rolling.<br /><br />Is something bad about to happen? Did I do something wrong?<br /><br />I feel numb. Yet I feel no urge to hurt myself. Good thing? Bad thing? I'm really not sure. Numb feelings truly suck...<br /><br />Is she invisible? Can you see her at all? Do you like what you see? Or do you see her ugly scars? Do you see the damage, inflicted by her and others? Do you see? Or are you another blinded one...?<br /><br />Look... See... Hear... I dunno. My mind is moving but my body feels dead. Half beating heart. Isolated. Alone. I can't put my finger on it. There goes a rush of goosebumps...<br /><br />I could be your puppet, but it hurts too much to move. I could be your doll, but I refuse to wear the makeup. I could be your lover, but I'm no easy fool. I could be your sweetest dream, but I am becoming a haunting nightmare. I could be, but I'm not...<br /><br />What is wrong with me? Where are these words coming from?<br /><br />I'm confused. I'm lost. I need help, but I don't get it. Not the kind I need. I know I need it. People can see I need it. Yet still I am forced to rely on myself and friends. No professional help for a psycho like me. I'm just not worth it, I suppose...<br /><br />Words are running low. My mood continues to fall. I feel so alone... Going to wander off and attempt homework.<br /><br />Lurves, me pretties.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />Luna<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><br /><div class="credits">design & coding by =<a class="u" href="http://an3czka.deviantart.com/">an3czka</a><br />floral brushes by *<a class="u" href="http://ro-stock.deviantart.com/">ro-stock</a><br />photo of lily by <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.sxc.hu/profile/lusi">lusi</a><br /><br /></div> ]]></description>

In a weird flat/broken feeling mood. Wanna sleep, don't want to shut my eyes. I keep feeling like I may cry. What's wrong? Tired? Perhaps... Overwhelmed? I don't think so. :sigh: I don't know. My mind is kinda wandering.<br /><br />How long to fall in love--days or months?<br />How long to fall apart--seconds or hours?<br /><br />Anyone on facebook should totally join my boyfriends petition to make a change in favor of transsexuals and the discriminations they face in using the bathroom--a normal, necessary activity done daily. If you wanna join, click the link and join. AND INVITE ALL YOUR FRIENDS!! lol. <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=178455371838&ref=mf">[link]</a> Propaganda >.<<br /><br />Who to trust--myself or the voices?<br />Who to turn to--friends or family?<br /><br />Kinda thinking in no direction. Aren't these the best kind of journals? If I annoy anyone, apologies. Oh, last night was fun. Some kid pissed me off because he called Jews Hebrews. Uhm, NO. Luna was mildly pissed and shaking. Wolfy got to watch as Luna wanted to rip the supposedly 20-year-old-gay-single-KID a new one, but instead played good girl and ended up apologizing to the girl who's question we had all "ruined" and making a new friend with her ^^ Yay to being awesome like that.<br /><br />Which wounds hurt worse--to the flesh or to the heart?<br />Whose touch can heal more wounds--a bestie's or a lover's?<br /><br />I dunno if I have anything else to say. Just wanted to talk and get some thoughts outta my head. Don't feel enough motivation to do homework, unfortunately. Hope people join Wolfy's group. Kay, laters all my pretties ^^<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />Luna<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><br /><div class="credits">design & coding by =<a class="u" href="http://an3czka.deviantart.com/">an3czka</a><br />floral brushes by *<a class="u" href="http://ro-stock.deviantart.com/">ro-stock</a><br />photo of lily by <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.sxc.hu/profile/lusi">lusi</a><br /><br /></div> ]]></description>

Going home on the 20th for a dentist appointment and again the following Wednesday for Thanksgiving. Gramma is coming to visit, so I'll have to play good granddaughter =/ It'll be good though.<br /><br />what else? Nothing really. Sorry if any of my writings bother anyone. I'm being good. Anyone who knows me knows that as long as I'm writing while in a bad mood knows I'm a lot less likely to actually do something regrettable. Stressed from tests and life, I guess.

                <description><![CDATA[ Do you know what itÂs like to want to do something so bad, and not even know why you want to do it? I stand on that precipice as I type this. I could do something that would upset so many right now, and while I want to, I know I have no real desire. ItÂs just a voice whispering in the back of my head. Jealousy. Insecurity. Confusion, perhaps. An overwhelming rush of negative emotions from those I love and care about. IÂve been good. But I want to be bad. How upset would that make you? Would you start to hate me? Do I even deserve to be loved in the first place? I just canÂt stop it. My body is numb. My heart aches. I want to remedy this conundrum. I want to feel with my body, not just my heart. Is that too much to ask? Why is it so wrong? So confusing? I justÂI canÂt help that the voices are like this, that IÂm like this. I canÂt help that I want to do this. It hurts so bad right now. Holding in tears is not helping my heartÂ I donÂt understand what is wrong with me. Why canÂt I be fixed? Why do so many try regardless? Why canÂt I be understood? It just isnÂt fairÂ Why canÂt I be at least a little bit normal? I donÂt want to want this. I want to spit the safety pin out of my mouth and put it back where it belongs. I donÂt want to want to push it against my skin and pull, breaking small layers to leave barely visible scars. I donÂt want to crave pain like this. I just want to beÂnormal, except I donÂt want normalicy, just something closer to it than this madness. IÂm so exhausted by the emotions. My mind feels so off, like it is just barely attached to my shoulders. My eyes keep tearing up, wanting to collapse on the floor and bawl. What is wrong with me? What is wrong? Why? I just donÂt get itÂ I donÂt understand in the least. PleaseÂ.may I? I promise there wonÂt be any blood, no easily noticeable reminders. ItÂll be a quiet secret. You wonÂt have to know about it. IÂll be quiet, silent about what IÂve done. IÂm often quiet as it is. Would you notice if I put yet another secret in my dark vault? Would you notice if I retreated just a step or two further into my madness? Would you notice? Would you care? Would it upset you if you did notice? I want toÂ I do and I donÂt. IÂm proving to myself IÂm stronger than the voices, using methods that others canÂt use. Am I stronger than others? I wonderÂ. Others have to get rid of their weapons because they really will use them again. I keep mine within easy access so I can prove I donÂt need them. And I can resist for long periods at a time. Months, years. ButÂhow long am I really resisting? How strong am I really proving myself? I fight myself so hard, fight temptation and seduction, just so I donÂt disappoint, donÂt worry those I care about. Am I strong? Or just pretending so well to fool those that would otherwise worry for me? I really donÂt knowÂ. It just comes so natural to me. I donÂt know what I am, who I am. I justÂ. I can taste the safety pin as I move it around in my mouth. ItÂs closed, so IÂm not hurting myself, but I could. Oh, so easily could I inflict harm on myself. Open my mouth, pull it out, wipe it down, open it, playÂ I really do not know what is wrong with meÂ And many days, I really wish I did know so, maybe, just maybe, it could be fixedÂ. But, I know that is an impossibility, so why hope? Why fight? In the end, IÂm just going to be another statistic, another freak. IÂm just going to give in. Maybe not today, maybe not for a while, but eventuallyÂ.I know I more than likely willÂ. Sad fate that awaits this sad girlÂ.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm so excited cuz today Wolfy comes to visit. It's exciting! I'm a li'l bit anxious but I'm really looking forward to meeting him in person ^^ I'm excited. Life is fantastic. There aren't words to describe just how great I feel right now. I'm so happy, and it doesn't even feel like a dangerous happy. It feels like a good happy, one that I want to last. And I'm thinking it'll manage to last a while. Yes, I still have my up/downs; they're unavoidable. But, Luna's norm at the moment is happy, and it feels fantastically awesome to feel like this. I love him ^^ I'm just so excited for this weekend. Plus, I'm hoping to see <i>The Invention of Lying</i> also. I love movies, and that one just looks hilarious. Tomorrow for the movie, hopefully! Just hoping Wolfy lets me watch the movie >.> He's so funny, but still such a perv, lol. He's such a guy XD Don't get me wrong-guys are awesome-but he's such a guy sometimes that I just have to laugh; he's too cute XD Luna likes her boy much >.> Yay!! lol.<br /><br />Okay, gotta do homework some before he gets here. His bus should arrive around 530ish and Sapph and I gotta pick him up. Excitment!!<br /><br />Lurvels!<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />Luna<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Don't have to read if you don't want. the point of a journal, even a public one is to get thoughts out. And now I feel guilty that I can't  be a happy-happy person 24/7. :sigh: Anywhos, what did I want to say?<br /><br />Just feeling meh today, and I can't explain it. Odd when I'm happy but still feeling blah. I actually hate the contradiction. Come on mind, pick one! But, meh, whatevers. I hate drama, even if it's not mine. It's heavy.<br /><br />I think I'm just stressing myself out too much. Have too much homework and I keep not doing it for whatever reason. Did finish and send my honors program application and the newspaper article I was asked to do this week. It was an easy one; interview the lady, record it, type it up as a Q&A. Easy peasy. :slow exhale: I hate how my mind works. Wanna cry, I feel so stressed out, and I'm not even that stressed. Although I'm stretching a bit again as a relaxation technique. Go major flexibility. In fact, just before I started typing this up, I was stretching while reading my sociology text. How sad...<br /><br />Friday needs to get here sooner...<br /><br />I hate being this rollrcoaster. I really do; I just can't exactly help it. Voices whisper, tease, taunt, yell at me. They're silent, but I hear 'em loud and clear. Today they were being mean, and they're still quietly whispering that sweet little phrase. How many are curious what I'm being told? <strike>slit your wrists and watch them bleed</strike> I hate my voices....<br /><br />I'm such a mess, I swear... Damn... Okay, I'm kinda tired of whining at the moment. Whatevers. Just wanted thoughts outta my warped li'l mind. Laters<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />Luna<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I just feel like ranting because my mind is filling with thoughts and I'm feeling mean and angry, adn I don't want to be either. I just can't help it though. I feel betrayed, or rather simply hurt. You coulda warned me you wouldn't be getting on at all. Then I wouldn't have stayed up so late hoping, only to be disappointed and hurt. And, you know something? There are reasons I don't like people who drink. Sure, they're a right riot. I still don't like it. I dated someone who drank and I was always worried about them. And the one night I talked to them while they were drunk, I about cried the whole time. I hate it. It upsets me, and I can't explain why. Probably just as well we didn't talk; I wouldn't have been nice. But, I still don't exactly feel like talking to you, which makes me sad. You know something else that upsets me? Your reactions to my body and stuff. Yes, I'm full figured and beautiful. Big fucking whoop! I hate it. I hate people seeing me as an object or whatever to get off to. Do you realize I've had people looking me up and down since before puberty? I've had people run their hands on my leg when I sit next to them, and because I'm an innocent person I thought it was normal until his hand just kept creeping higher and highter. I don't want to have sex with you right now. I do, but I don't. Prove to me you want more than sex. Yea, yea, you're a sex addict and I'm a curious horny girl, but SERIOUSLY. I just can't do it yet. Maybe seeing you and all that, I'll change my mind, but I'm just not feeling I'm ready. Especially because in just about 10 days I have already cried at least 3 times over you. I'm so sick and tired of people thinking they can fix me, but all they do is hurt me. I can't be fixed. I can't. You can try, but I'm betting you'll still fail. You think I'm better than your exes and such, and I probably am. But, you know what? I'm still a fuck up, and all the people that try and tell me otherwise PISS ME OFF. Yea, you don't think I'm all that broken, but guess what--you don't live in my head. You don't share my thoughts. Do you know I hate falling asleep alone? I stay up all hours of the night on the computer so I can talk to people until I'm totally exhausted because I hate hate hate falling asleep. I love being asleep, but falling asleep I don't enjoy. I'm such a freak. I'm just totally insane. No one really seems to get. They see how well I hold myself together, but I'm still falling apart at the seams. I had a knight once, and I'm not seeking that route again. I'm well aware I can't be saved or fixed. I don't even know what broke me. My memories are all too dark and hazy to make out the images. I just want to scream. No, I'd rather cry again... I'm so tired of being so nice, so naive. Yea, I actually care about way more people than I probably should. Yea, I listen even though it hurts me to listen to people. I'm hurting myself constantly in so many ways. I don't remember the last time I cut exactly; just know it was about three weeks ago. Go Luna. I'm sooooo special. You know? I don't know if I can really be considered a cutter becuase of how I do it and such, but I know I am. I know things about myself I'll never in a million years share. I may have been protected all my life, I may be a privelaged individual, but I've still been through plenty. I think my mom had an affair and my brother and I were taken on her dates. He apparently asked my mom to leave my dad and that's when she stopped seeing him. My dad has a temper and has broken holes  in the wall so as not to hit anybody. My family is full of addictions of all sorts including alcohol and gambling. My family is full of mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. I have more friends than I can count that I talk to on a regular basis who cut or have cut. I don't even know how many of them have attempted suicide cuz I can bet most of them of have at least contemplated it. Hell, I've contemplated it on more than enough occasions, yet I've never attempted. This all may seem trivial, but you don't know how my mind works. All of this stuff FILLS me up and I feel so helpless because I can't do anything. I can't help people, can't fix them. I absorb more bad feelings than good. I borrow good feelings, but in the end I walk away, more often than not, feeling empty and numb and sad. People think I'm so nice because I listen so much, but it's for selfish reasons of a sort. I'd rather hurt than know that people I care about are hurting. I can't heal, but I will still try to help, even if in the end I'm crying my eyes out. I'm so full of emotion, and I can't control it. You call me emo, but do you realize that actually hurts a little bit? You are more insensitive than you realize. Yea, there are attention seekers out there, but they're still seeking attention for a reason. Yea, it's silly to threaten suicide or whatever over something so simple as a breakup, but it's not so simple to those people. You don't know what it's like... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ You know what? Screw this! I'm tired of almost always being such a bloody frickin' good girl. Or so frickin' strong. Because I'm neither! I'm not so good. I'm not so strong. I'm a weak, foolish bad girl. I break the rules, and dont' tell anyone. I keep secrets and all because I don't frickin' want to disappoint people! But, you know what, here comes disappointment! I'm not good. I've done things and not told anyone. I've cut again. You know that? I'm doing it again. I don't want to. God, I hate that I'm doing it again. But, I hardly do it. But, whatever; I know I'm still going to disappoint all my lovely watchers. I'm not saying where or how, but it's no where dangerous, no where near my wrsits, and not with anything sharp enough to actually make me bleed. It's just layers of skin in a totally safe place. So, there you go. I told you. Bring on teh disappointment, the admonishments, whatever you want to tell me.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I was just thinking earlier and I kinda wanna share just I'm too open a person, but warning--slightly sexual in nature.<br /><br />Here's the deal, I like pain. Like, sometimes it's an addiction, a need that must be fed. I like to be bitten and all that sort of stuff. What I want it bed does involve pain. I want to be dominated and hurt, my whole will controlled by someone other than myself. I want that, I do. But, here's where the secret comes in.<br /><br />If I am begging for pain, do not give it to me.<br /><br />I am also a gentle person. I like sweet and gentle. I want to be cared about and loved. I want to be shown that pain is not always the answer. I want to be held and cherished, worshiped in a way. I want to have someone run their hands over my body and kiss all my skin without wanting sex, wanting to do anything more than hold me and love me.<br /><br />So, here's the secret again. When I am so desperate for pain that I actually beg for it, do not satisfy that hunger. Kiss me softly. Hold me. Cherish me. Do not bite me. Do not fondle my body inappropriately. Do not degrade me or tell me any of the things I may ask you to say. Just love me for those moments until I am crying, but feeling safe, the urges, the need passing back into the dark from wence it came...<br /><br />That's my secret, for any who were curious enough to read this random journal...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Today was my 19th birthday. How exciting, eh? It was nice. Was supposed to get to sleep it, but I got texts as soon as my alarm went off (no lie...) so sleep wasn't allowed, lol. I got wall posts (on facebook), testimonials (trevorspace), texts, calls, and in person birthday wishes. I felt so loved, lol. What was particularlly enjoyable was when I called my mom and when her twin called me later in the day. The enjoyable part? When they started to sing "Happy Birthday" to <i>me</i>, I sung it right to them because today is their birthday also, lol. It ws funny.<br /><br />So, how did my day go? Well, like I said, was supposed to be able to sleep it, but was a kinda fail. Went to breakfast at 915 then had music apprec at 10 and bio at 11. That was my entire class day. What was cool was before classes, when I got out of the shower, the one RA on my floor who I sorta like remembred my b-day and wished me a happy one. Made me happy, lol. Anyway, after bio I found my advisor person, introduced myself, and then waited (too long) in the dorm to get food as Sapph tried to figure out how to get (good) music for the aprox 3hr drive home. That venture was a fail and we finally got food about 1230. I only ate a little bit because my mouth was sore; had developed sores from my (oh so wonderful) appliance.<br /><br />After food, we hit the road. First stop was my dentist so I could get my appliance fixed and now--PAIN FREE!! Yay! lol. After dentist, Sapph took me home and I opned mail and presents from parents. In the mail I got one of my Breast Cancer Awareness faeries from Hamilton Collection. Thus began a truly downward fall of the day (which random thoughts had already been dropping, but was just made worse from this point forward). When I opened the fearie, one of her wings was cracked, so I tried to move it a little bit and ended up snapping her wing OFF. Then, I go to look for my refund check and find I've LOST it. I call my mom in tears and she tells me to do what I'd already done multiple times--look for it. Then, I'd asked bro to connect my comp to home 'net and when I get out of my room, he plays a joke on me saying he "accidently" deleted all my program files and such. I don't even open my comp before I toss it on the couch and curl in a corner to start crying again. Bro freaks out slightly and tells me to just open the screen and what I find is LoseTheGame.com Ah, he's so loving, lol. But, he just picked a bad time to do that.<br /><br />After that little breakdown, went to my HS's first football game, which just so happened to be home. I was sitting all alone waiting for people thinking about slitting my wrists wide open... Had fun with Sapph--sorta--and Andy during the first half, but was getting tired and hungry, so stayed for half time before going home. Laundry sorted and computer and me talking for a while before I actually start laundry, lol. Bro comes home. Now I am just lying on my bed hungry and unwilling to eat as I wish we could find ace bandages so I could try binding (previous journal). Still half thinking of just slitting wrists, but don't really want to because I feel loved today. I didn't really have to remind <i>anyone</i> that today was my brithday. The only place that like no one knew about it was here, lol. Sorry lovers of mine XD But, I'm just really kinda super happy cuz my RA wished me a happy brithday this morning and then left a comment on my status on facebook to wish it again. That makes me smile <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />Lol. Okay, just wishing to informulate my beloved watchers of my wonderful(?) birthday.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />Luna<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ For those of you who don't know what binding is, it is binding the chest to flatten breasts. Many reasons may be behind it, whether a FtM trans pre-mastectomy or a MtF while taking hormones trying to hide developments in certain situations. It isn't just for transsexuals/transgenders, though. Cuz, I'm not a trans, but I want to bind my chest. It is a further way to crossdress.<br />Here's a how-to of sorts if anyone is more interested in how it is done::<a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.wikihow.com/Bind-Your-Chest">[link]</a><br /><br />Now, as I said, I really have an urge to bind. I've had this desire, this urge for a while now. At least feels that way. But there are a few dillemas presented by that desire.<br /><br />1. I am not a small person. I have very obvious curves, even when I wear looser clothing. Binding is about compression, flattening the fat on your chest (yes, breasts are just fat). For me, as a bigger girl (I'm a D, so if you know how to read bras, you'll get what I mean...), it's harder to get enough coompression to actually hide my breasts. I'd tried one night to bind, and it was an epic fail. But, there are other options I can take, which leads us into dillema two.<br /><br />2. What do I use? One of the most common methods is using an ace bandage wrapped around the chest. My worry with using just that is a. will it flatten me enough and b. will I still be able to breathe? Because, as we all know, breathing is a very necessary function, lol. There is also the option of using sports bra, prefferably one with Lycra or another synthetic material. If I do that, I don't think I'd get enough compression to achieve my "goals," present myself as I wish to present myself and feel comofortable in my skin. I could always buy a binding vest, but thsoe things are <i>expensive</i>, especially for a minimum-wage summer/winter working college freshman. So, I think the option I want to use is a combination. First use the sports bras in order to have less compression to handle myself and then go over the bra(s) with ace bandages to get greater compression. In theory, I believe that would work. But, next dillema.<br /><br />3. How to buy the materials? And then explain them? Because, as I said, I am only making minimum wage, and as a college freshman living three hours from my job, I can only really work during winter and summer breaks. I could save for the supplies, which is what I will likely end up doing, but then how do I explain why I'm  buying these things? Do I explain to my mother that I'm unhappy with my body and want to try binding to see if it makes me any happier with myself? That would probably be way awkward, yet I have a feeling that, where I to tell my mother, she'd be "okay" with it and deal with it. But, then, what about roomie? Do I explain to her that I'm binding my chest? Cuz, if my plans work, it'd be a noticable difference. Would it freak her out? Or would she be okay with it? Because, I don't really know how she feels about people of alternate sexualities and the like; still haven't come out or whatever. So, yea, explanation would likely end up a trip...<br /><br />4. Because of the liklihood that explanations would be awkward, should I just wait then? I keep asking myself if I should just wait... But, college is a time for self-definitions, and I really want to try binding. I want to see if it, I dunno, helps me accept myself. So...do I wait and, in theory, prolong suffering? Or try and, in theory, help myself? Such a large dillema...<br /><br />5. If I were to bind, what about acceptance and the like? I am on a small college campus, somewhere around 600some students, and they keep describing it as a place where you will get to know your professors and all that--and I believe it. So, what do I do? Because, one of my fears is one of further ostracization, and not all my own. I want to be myself, but I also want people to accept me as I am. Which is a gender-dissatisfied female...<br /><br />So, those are my main dillemas. My size, method, cost/explanations, waiting, and acceptance. Any body have any thoughts? Helpful? Condemning? Thoughtful? Questions?<br /><br />Oh, I do kinda wanna explain what I mean by gender-dissatisfied female. I am a girl, I know I am and, for a part of the time, can easily accept it. I like to have my girly moments where I wear makeup and girly clothes and all that. But, I'd guess 70-90 percent of the time I dress in a more androgynous manner, wearing my brother's old clothes, my dad's old clothes, or actually buying guys clothes. Mind you, these clothes are usually just shirts because I have hips so have to wear girls jeans until I can figure out a way to get into guys clothes and not "advertise" feminine shape. I like being a girl, but I don't want to be one. I want to play with the different roles and be able to find my own gender identity. Because, truthfully, I don't know "what" I am in reference to gender. All I know it is... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>May be whiney and pathetic, so wander away if you so please; don't bother me none. Just a warning before I start yet another of my pathetic, repetitive journals. Lurves too all those who read it anyway<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /></b><br /><br />I want to cut myself wide open and <i>BLEED</i><br /><br />That is how I feel. I don't want to cut to cut. I want to mutliate my body. I want to fix it. I don't know... I'm not who I want to be. I'm in the wrong body. I'm not a trans, that is for sure for sure. I'm not a boy. I'm just not a girl either, not always. I want to bind.... I've wanted to for a while now, and I still can't do it. I hate WV... I hate that I feel I can't really express myself. I don't know... I want to cut them off sometimes. I hate that guys stare. I hate feeling llike no more than an object. I just don't get it. I like being girly on occassion, but other times I prefer to hide in baggy clothes. I'm not a girl, not fully. I dunno... I hate this. I hate I feel so wrong. I hate myself so much. God...I want to cut so deep that it won't be stopped. I want to die, but I don't. I'm exhausted... I'm tired of being there, being here. Why...?<br /><br />I want to die....<br />stop me....<br /><br />I'm happy, I promise I am, yet I just keep feeling worse and worse. Why? What the fuck is <i>wrong</i> with me? I don't get it... Please... Shut the damn voices up already. They lie to me. I dunno...<br /><br />I wanna go back to the art store and pick a couple dozen razors...<br /><br />I'm fucked up, you know that? Do you realize that? Not just in my gender issues, but so many other ways as well. I'm <i>addicted</i> to pain. I crave it, need it. But not all pain is the right pain... I want to be numb at times. Others I want to explode with emotion and feeling. I just don't get it... I don't get myself. Who am I? Sometimes I'm not sure I really wanna know...<br /><br />I hate it when people try to contradict my assessment that I'm fucked up, cuz I am. Maybe not of the same variety as others, but I'm still an ugly little mess. I've got gender issues. Sexuality issues of a very minor sort. Body image issues. Desires. Urges. Needs... I <i>am</i> fucked up, whether anyone else can see it or not, whether you believe it or not. But, whatever...<br /><br />What is wrong with me? I've been going on a writing spree of a sort lately. I just...I don't get it... I keep having urges lately, these past few days. And they keep getting worse... I keep riding the goddamn rollercoaster. Can I get off yet? Please? But I know I can't, not yet at least.<br /><br />I want to buy a razor and drag it through my skin so I can watch the crimson blood well up and slide over the curve of my arms...<br /><br />I hate that no one seems able to help me. Some seem to try, but are they really trying? They say they want to help, but I'm not giving anybody any more opportunities. I'm tired of being broken by "love." I'm tired of lies and games.<br /><br />Awh, fuck this all... I'm half tempted to not prese "Submit" but I know I will. Hope all of you enjoyed my random jump arounds. I just want to slice and dice my body until I feel a modicum of beauty again...<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />Luna<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ A shattered mask rests in my lap. Did I let it fall or force it off? I don't know. Was happy just a second ago. Where did it go? with him... He left, started talking to someone else. Oh well. Less attention for me. Oh well. It doesn't matter much. I don't matter much. Or perhaps too much? A contradiction, but when isn't life? I don't know... I just feel really lonely. I like being open about sexuality (not as in orientation, but as in SEXualaity, lol), but at the same time, sometimes it just makes me feel all the more lonely. I don't want it to just be words on the screen... Yea, I know, I'm so beautiful. Not the best looking, no duh; I'm not deluded. Still super hot, nice. Quick fuck anyone? Maybe then I wouldn't feel this deep-seated agony. Crap, want to cry. Roomie's right across the room, right behind me. I don't know what to do... I feel lost. Can you help me find myself? Who am I? I wish I knew... I llike attention.  I like words. I like the <i>idea</i> of sex, but the actual deed seems it would be awkward. I'm lonely. God, sometimes I'm so lonely all I want to do is stab a blade in my heart so it will just <i>shut up</i> already... Is that wrong of me? Or just human...? I sometimes half wonder if I really am a human, and not some creature put on this earth with some greater purpose. Some would say we all have a purpose. On says I have a particular purpose, but he never explains, only tells me he is the guider of his brother to his destiny--to be the destroyer of the world... Yet...I don't know. I love him, both of them in their ways. But...I always ask <i>why me?</i> What makes me special? What have I ever done? Just been there like the fool I am... I wish I had someone, even just a friend, who would bite me again. I miss that more than probably anything, I think. I miss being hugged and then feeling sharp teeth playing against the soft skin of my neck, of my shoulders, my arms... It had mostly stopped, but still, occassionally I'd be graced with pain. I'm going to be an idiot, you know that? One day I won't be so smart, so conscious of my actions. Impulse must have its say in due time. I can't always win the battle that wages in my tortured mind. I wish I could ask for help, I really do, but at the same time... I'd be afraid to lose the up-down I've grown (somewhat) accustumed to experiencing. People who have described anti-depressants describe them as a flattener, neither high nor low, yet still feeling. That, to me, is the scariest and most dangerous of all feelings... I'd rather dance and scream or be so low that I write like a madwoman than be flat and feel only a margin of the life I'm used to. I love, yet at time despise, the madness, the energies that drive me. I dunno... I think I'm scared to lose myself. I'm definately afraid to lose the drive I have to write. My words <i>define</i> me in so many ways. If I lost them...I fear I'd lose myself... Is that an irrational fear? An unfounded one? Is it possible I'd still have that drive? But...a part of me highly doubts I'd keep my words, and even on anti-depressants, without words I'm afraid it'd be the push to suicide... I'm trying to joke, kid, be funny, threaten, whatever. It's just...a fear, I suppose. I don't know... I'm still just a scared little girl. I still spaz out when I feel suddenly alone in an unknown situation, an unknown place. I still stick close to those I know whenever meeting new people. I still curl myself in blankets and hold my knees tight when I feel threatened in any way. I'm just a kid still, despite the fact that in just about two days I'm turning 19. Age is a number and it doesn't always match who I am. Sometimes I feel <i>so</i> old, while other times I'm at most half my true age. I don't know who I am... I don't know who that girl in the mirror is... She smiles, laughs, plays my role, but is she really me? Have we become one person, one soul yet? Or are we still seperate entities maintainig one body? I'm not crazy, I promise. I'm a little mad at times, but I'm not insane. I'm broken. I'm lost. I'm shattered...destroyed...<i>ugly</i>. Yet...so many only look at the beautiful side, the side that cares and is oh so sweet. Are we all blinded by our own naivitie? Do we only wish to see good too often? I think we're all afraid, whether we admit to it or not. Whether we only look at good or only at the bad. Even if we try to see the balance. We're all afraid of something, the darkness you can never see, the light you can never touch. It's scary... Life is scary... I dunno. I just...I feel so lost in my own skin anymore. I feel too often like I'm in the wrong body. Why do I feel like this? I don't get it... I know, I <i>know</i> I'm a girl; I've got the boobs to prove it. But... sometimes, when I dream, when I think, when I space, when I'm just, I dunno, wandering, I start to feel like I'm supposed to be someone, something else. Is it because I was "supposed" to be a boy when I was born? Have I told myself this so many ti... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I just don't get it. All my life I've had people laugh behind my back. Maybe not all my life, but for a bit of it. Middle school, I was always reading a book and my classmates got a kick out of moving my bookmarks around. I'd tell the teacher and she'd be kinda whatever, no big deal. It's a big deal to me... Books have always been a kind of sanctuary. People play on my feelings, yell obscene things and stuff. It offends me. I know I'm naive and silly, but I still don't like it when guys (or whatever the case may be) "harass" me in any way. It's upsetting... Like, having somebody come up to me and say "So-and-so says 'what's up'." Uhm...hi... Most cases, I'm far from interested. I don't trust people. They are cruel in too many instances. I'm sorry I'm a romantic. I'm sorry I'm a bookworm. I'm sorry I actually like school. I'm sorry I'm not "normal." That's one of the things I really don't like about society. How <i>cruel</i> we're all taught to be. If different, ridicule them and bring them down. I just don't get it... I just looked at the guy cuz I could hear his voice. I'm sorry. Then, when I'm in my room, he starts laughing and telling the girls in the room that I stood there and stared for a minute. Right, no, I ddin't. I glanced and looked away. Whatever... I wish I didn't care, but I know I do. People on the net all "love" me because I'm so nice and shit, but in reality I am an outcast. I'm sorry I'm no social... I'm sorry I'd rather read a book than talk to you. I'm shy. I wish it were otherwise, but, meh... I hate that I'm treated this way... Oh well...<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />Luna<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Lol; I'm just bored. Nothing to do. Well, no, that's a lie. I have homework--boo. Just two biolab pages, but still. Blah. Will probably just end up doing it to alleviate boredom. *sigh*<br /><br />What to talk about, what to talk about....<br /><br />I have a half crush on one of my RAs. Don't feel like descriping her at the moment, but she's funny and sweet. Sapph has a crush on one of the other RAs, lol XD<br /><br />Staring out my window I see so many people, but I'm by myself. Should I step outside? Drag my li'l net book with me and enjoy the day? The presence of many other humans? I think I might just... It's so lonely to sit in the dorm by myself. *sigh*<br /><br />Boredom and loneliness are NOT a good combination. *sigh* Blah...<br /><br />I'm going out into the warm sun. Laters any and all. Taking BioLab and netbook with me, so I have something to do. Blahnes..<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />Luna<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>This is more to get it out of my head than to actually be read, so it is up to you, the reader, if you really want to see this....</b><br /><br />Why do we do this to ourselves? We let it happen once, we need it again. I'm watching her destruction from the other end of text messages; I can't save her... I can barely save myself, yet I've managed survival this long... She's talking of cutting; cut her lips, her hips. It makes me miss it, just like he always did. Why do I cling to people who hurt me, awaken these ugly desires in me? I know the answer; it's my myspace status--"I'd rather be hurt a million times by a thousand people than to have even one person leave me behind..." My biggest fear, the one thing that haunts me and makes me so completely stupid, is a fear of abandonment. She wants me to tell her how stupid she is, how she is making a mistake. I know those feelings, those desires. He's got her in His grasp, just like He has me... He wants us small so we are more easily bent. I hate Him....and what He causes us to become. The world is dying around us, around me. Those I love and care about don't care about themselves. The one guy who means more to me than he seems to realize, I miss him so much. He made me smile and cry and laugh and scream. He made me happy, but also made me an idiot... I lose people all the time. Maybe not through death. Maybe not through anything big. But...they're gone... JMR is no longer a part of me except a memory.... DJL is no longer a part of me except through his cousin.... FM is so vague, so faint and periphreal when once she was my world entire, my knight come to rescue me from these shadows. But I gave her up...because I was deluded, crazy, foolish... And it all blew up anyway, another rip, tear, scar to mark me as once-upon-a-time someone's love. I miss being property... I miss having someone telling me to be this way or that, telling me to write them this story or that. I miss being degraded when I was wrong.... I want to be punished. I want to be cut down and dragged through the mud. I want someone to carve their name into my flesh so I can never, <i>never</i> forget who owns me. Then it wouldn't just be on my ugly little heart. Everyone who touched me would be able to see that I am not theirs, can never be theirs, because someone has claimed me. Is that claim one of love? Likely not.... It's a game of power, but I miss it. I miss having no control. I hate being so concious, so aware, thinking so damn much. I want to shut up and let someone else take the reigns of my life. Dangerous desires? More than likely.... But, when aren't my desires at least a little bit dangerous... I'm craving blood, and I'm not really a blood person. Yes, I romantacize it and such in my writings, but I'd rather feel pain without blood than taste it on my lips... I want to be slapped, kicked, punched, hurt. God, so badly do I wish to be hurt... I'm so fucked up... I'm not okay, I'm really not... And there's nothing I can do about it. I can't talk to anyone cuz I'm tired of making people worry all the time. Or they only half listen... I'm not very loud, am I? Oh well... I don't have to be... I just want to be heard. Or do I? I always question myself, second guess my desires. Why do I want this? Why do I feel a need for pain? ....why doesn't Depression leave me....? why does He "love" me so much...? why am i so bendable to the wills of others...? I just don't get it. I don't understand why I feel so rotten, so ugly when I know, I <i>know</i> I'm none of these things. I know I care. I know I matter. I know I'm beautiful. But, I dunno... I don't always <i>feel</i> that way... He's gone again, the guy I love... I'm trying to help him with his love intrest, but dunno... It just makes me all the lonelier... God, I half want to cut... Yay to sharp scissors that could be a weapon given to me by none other than Andy... But, public dorm, community dorm, whatever. Where? How? Mess? I'm too logical (usually) for impulse.... Good thing or bad? Hard to tell at times... I want it though.... I want pain... Hurt me? Please...?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Today was relitivaly uneventful. Was woken up at about 10 by my phone buzzing; I'd fallen asleep in the middle of texting the night before, lol. Texted some more but fell asleep in the middle to wake up for real about 11. Went to brunch with Sapph about 1 after finishing music homework and reading myself for the day. Yay for androgyny! lol. Black chucks, bermuda shorts, house t-shirt, and one of my hats. After breakfast, Sapph and I went to Michael's to get the last of his art supplies, then Book-A-Million so I could buy a dictionary and also ended up impulsing on vol. 9 of Nightmare Inspector and vol. 4 of Kyo Kao Maho. Looked through PetCo where Sapph was tempted by the fish, as well as the cats. After PetCo we drove up to Wal*Mart where I got bagels and cream cheese--yum ^.^ After Wal*Mart, back to the dorm where I read KKM and just generally goofed off on the 'net. Dinner at about 5, 530. Wanted to watch Adventureland or whatever it's called, but decided to just rent it or something at a later date cux lady was having technical difficulties. Back to dorm to find roomie has returned; more internet goof-off before the C/B Halls Block Party bugger (my dorm and the honors dorm, which is right next door). Stayed out for a li'l while then came back in my dorm, which is where I am now, preparing mentally to do sociology hmwk. *sigh*<br /><br />Lurvels all my lovely watchers!<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />Luna<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Title explains it all. Or does it? Dunno. Just a thought. Feeling really alone at the moment, and not in the typical "I want a lover" loneliness, but the "where are my freinds" kinda loneliness.<br /><br />I've been texting with this one girl all day and suddenly she's vanished. She went to cut herself...<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> But, dunno, haven't heard from her in a li'l bit and I'm kinda worried about her. I can understand the need to cut and while I'd rather she (and all others who cut) didn't do so, I also am aware that sometimes it is the only option to shut up the voices that are screaming in your head. Feed their need and they'll leave you be for a bit.<br /><br />Want to talk to CC, but he's not on, so I'm just missing him. I really do miss him... Miss talking to him face-to-face. Miss his hugs. Miss flirting. Miss playing and goofing. *sigh* Just, I miss him lots and lots... But, at least I get to talk to him on MySpace, semi-regularly, so that will just have to do for the time being.<br /><br />Want to talk to people, but like no one is on (except Phoenix<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />)<br /><br />Roomie is out of town for a wedding she had to go to, so I'm all by my lonesome in my room. Can handle it when I'm doing something or whatever, but otherwise is a little bit buggy. One of those moments where I wish I had a lover I could have spend the night so I'm not all alone in my room when roomie is out or whatever.<br /><br />Speaking of lover's, I saw SB yesterday (or was it today.... no, was def yesterday) leaving the caf after breakfast. She was walking away from me and in a group with two other girls, so I didn't get a chance to talk to her or anything, lol. Still, she's still pwetty pwetty XD<br /><br />I feel like a liar because, while I'm happier and stuff, I dunno, still keep having sporadic lows. Not sure they're quite as long as the ones I'd get at home, but still. I don't like the low states. Or the flat.... Flat is the worst way to feel because that is when I'm usually the most tempted to do something stupid, something just to feel. Meh. Just a wandering thought.<br /><br />Finished the reading I needed to do for Music Appreciation and most of the listening, but gotta finish that in the morn. Still gotta do the Sociology reading. I think I'll do it tomorrow, not wait until it's closer to due, not procrastinate. Best not to set a trend of procrastination at the beginning of the year; would never break it if I did.<br /><br />Okay, I think that's all for now. Lurves to all my lovely lovely watchers!!<br /><br />:heartLuna<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/p/pride.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":pride:" title="Pride" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" title="Bullet; Orange" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletyellow.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletyellow:" title="Bullet; Yellow" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletpurple.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletpurple:" title="Bullet; Purple" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/p/pride.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":pride:" title="Pride" /><br /><a href="http://loveredplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/o/loveredplz.gif" alt=":iconloveredplz:" title="loveredplz"/></a><a href="http://loveorangeplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/o/loveorangeplz.gif" alt=":iconloveorangeplz:" title="loveorangeplz"/></a><a href="http://loveyellowplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/o/loveyellowplz.gif?2" alt=":iconloveyellowplz:" title="loveyellowplz"/></a><a href="http://lovegreenplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/o/lovegreenplz.gif" alt=":iconlovegreenplz:" title="lovegreenplz"/></a><a href="http://loveblueplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/o/loveblueplz.gif" alt=":iconloveblueplz:" title="loveblueplz"/></a><a href="http://lovepurpleplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/o/lovepurpleplz.gif" alt=":iconlovepurpleplz:" title="lovepurpleplz"/></a><br /><a href="http://newglomp.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="h... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, today I'd stayed up until two or three texting and taling on myspace. In fact, I woke up this morning at about 10, 1030 with my phone under me and an unfinished text saved in my drafts, lol. Got a shower and got all dressed up pretty (for me at least) with Aeropostale shirt and makeup--OH MY! lol. Breakfast with <a href="http://sapphire-black013.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/a/sapphire-black013.png" alt=":iconsapphire-black013:" title="sapphire-black013"/></a>. Then we took his car to the mall because he needed art supplies for his classes and I need a dictionary for my sociology class. Well, we spent about an HOUR AND A HALF in that art store trying to find all his supplies--and that was a giant store, but we only stayed in about seven aisles. He ended up only not being able to find eight of his things. While there I got a sketchbook (wanted one) and succumbed to temptation to buy a 48 pack of Prismacolor Premier colored pencils. Them buggers be expensive!! I don't need 'em, but they're pretty and I wanted 'em. Kevin needs 'em, so we split the cost of them so they're ours, lol. We then took his stuff back out to the car then went back to puruse the mall. Looked in WaldenBooks for a dictionary, but (maybe cuz didn't look super hard) didn't find one. Going to look tomorrow at Wal*Mart and/or Books-A-Million. After walking the mall entire, we decided to go see a movie. Not much interesting playing but had heard Inglorious Basterds was good and Sapph wanted to see it, so we went. I did <i><b><u>NOT</u></b></i> enjoy that movie. I covered my eyes in several parts and even my ears a couple times. I actually <i>cried</i> at one part for some odd movie. It wasn't a scary movie or anything. Wasn't comedy or anything. I don't even know what it was, other than ODD. But, I didn't like it and it made me depressed for a good while. Got back to the dorms and took my music reading down to do my laundry. Spent about three hours doing it all >.< But, now my clothes are all clean--Yay! And I finshed the reading for music. Just gotta do listening and do the reading for (evil evil evil) sociology >.< Still hate that woman's syllabus, but, mehness. Going to work on it some tonight and tomorrow. *sigh*<br /><br />That was/is my entire day. Exciting, wa'n't it?? *eye roll* Lurvels!!<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />Luna<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><br /><b>Forgotten Bit</b><br />I forgot to mention that in the art store I found a cutter's heaven. Where all the X-Acto knives are and such you can also buy just plain razors, both for the X-Acto and straight-egde ones. Well, I saw this one box of like 128 Razor Blades; my thought was it'd give a cutter a heart attack of joy....<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, today was the end of my first day of classes. Supposed to end at noon; got done earlier for reasons that will be explained later.<br /><br />First class today was College 101. Wasn't bad. Just went over "NEVER" asks/dos. Few other little things. Lalala class. But, wasn't bad; got out almost half an hour early. But, that was boring ish, lol, because went to a table near Fine Arts building (where next class is) and played on the Internet. But, it started to rain, so went into building about five minutes before class lets out so sat in the hall 'til could go in.<br /><br />Had music appreciation next and was "fun" class. Just took notes on the first chapter. Have to read chapter 2 and 3, as well as do the listening, by Monday, but doing it over the weekend cuz then I can use the DVD player for the CD; computer doesn't have a disk drive. Roomie is going home for the weekend, so is big part of why I'm waiting til the weekend.<br /><br />Was supposed to have Biology next, but when I got to Arnett, there's a note on the door saying Mrs. K's biology classes are cancelled due to illness. So, I'm off an hour earlier than expected. Going to do Sociology homework now that (hopefully) I've figured out that crazy lady's syllabus. *sigh*<br /><br />That's all for now. Going to Wal*Mart at 2ish with Andy's older sister and Sapph.

                <description><![CDATA[ Make it go away!!! I'm so tired of this all. It's nothing but drama. CC has his and I'm trying to be there for him becuase I'm a fucking idiot who cares too damn much. I tried to help another guy the other day and no fucking clue how that went. Plus, on another site I've got several people telling me they like me and shit. Thank you, I'm flattered, but I don't want any of it! I'm not interested in anyone. I like talking to people. I like having friends. But I refuse to do long distance. I'm sorry you like me; I'm not worth it. I'm too much a fuck up, a screw up, a broken little mess. Yea, I can seem like I got my act together and all, but watch me when i don't think you're looking. Observe me as I sit in a silent contemplation and I have to quickly blink because whatever is on my mind makes me want to cry. Watch me! I'm not so together. I have no clue who I am. I'm no good. Yea, I'm nice and care adn like to help, but this is the deal--I want to help you if possible, but you can't help me; it isn't allowed. I'm just tired of it. I just started something completely new and I hate completely new! I hate it! Yes, I'm enjoying the experience and all, but I am literally falling apart at the seams!! I can't do this! I keep crying when roomie isn't around. When no one is around. I hate chemistry; it hurts my head. I hate how my sociology professor organizes her papers; there's too many symbols, italics, bolds, underlines for it to be fucking legible. You tell us to be legible, but where is YOUR fucking legibility?? Your fucking papers nmake my head spin as I try to understand what the hell you are trying to get across. In fact, I had to take out a highlighter so I could actually understand the important stuff without trying to wrack my brain around all the painful li'l shit that shouldn't be there. MAKE UP YOUR FUCKING MIND!! I'm so tired of switching back and forth. Talk to me, don't talk to me. Make the feelings go away, keep repeating that you like me. Yea, I'll flirt, but that's cuz it's fun. Damnit! Damnit all to hell! It's exhausting, don't you see? I don't even know why I'm under so much stress. My whole brain feels like exploding. I want to force it to explode. I just have this urge to shoot myself, but I don't want to. I dont' want to die. I want to feel more than this unbelieveable stress, crazy madness thats forcing me to tears. I want to cut so bad, be hurt so bad. I'm so lonely, and I hate that I constantly say that when I have people left adn right confessing that tehy feel for me. I don't want your feelings! I can't return them, and that just makes me feel terrible that you've been deluding into liking me. Yes, I am a fucking delusion. Watch me disappear before your very eyes. I'm not sane. I'm not okay. God, am I not okay... I wish someoen could help, could fix me, but there's no one, nothing. It's too much. I want to hurt. Please... There's no weapons in my dorm room so I'm typing like a maniac. Damn... damn damn damn... I'm not sure I can do this... I don't know that I'm strong enough... I feel like a failure because it's only been a week that I've been here adn already I'm falling apart... I hate myself so much. I don't even know why. I just do. I wish I were different. I don't believe in love, at least for myself. I want it so bad, but I never accept it. I don't deserve it. I'm broken. Ugly. Shattered. Destroyed. Destroyer... The saddest part--a lot of the damage I bear on my soul I gave to myself... I made teh mistakes I now regret. I made the choices that have left me with permanent scars. I'm not a good daughter, not a good sister, barely a good friend. You can't help me. I won't accept it. It's my burden, my scars, my disaster. *sigh* I'll be okay... I'm just so...I don't even know what I am. I just want to do something spontaneous, dangerous, idiotic. I want to climb a tree than jump from the highest reaches. I want to walk on a thin line adn see if I fall. I want to do something that I can't even name. I just want to be stupid, which is the worst way to be. I want to get drunk, get high. And I've never done either... I want to scream at the top of my lungs and see who looks at me, who asks what is wrong. I want to slit my wrists and see who catches me before it's too late. Do you really care? Or are you just a good person? I'm a good person, but I wish I weren't. I don't know. I want to fly...and plummet.... I want to laugh...and scream loudly. I want to be an idiot. I want to hurt so bad... I need to be stopped. But there's no one. No one I fully trust. no one who has teh power. No one loves me right. I don't love anyone right. It's all a mess. I'm a mess... I wish I were someone else...but...at the same time...I do kinda like myself.... I dunno... I just feel like being an idiot...<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />Luna<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" al... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Today was the fourth day classes; amazing... lol. I really think I'm going to have to figure something out for a bag because in the mornings I usually have three classes (only exception is Tusdays) and I don't have a locker or time to run back to my dorm to grab each different block, so I'm carrying them around and it's heavy. But, meh, just a random thought. This morning was:: Music appreciation, Sociology, and Chemistry. After lunch was just Principles of Biology.<br /><br />Music wasn't bad. just took notes off slides and we did a small listening activity where we had to identify different things about a piece of music. Was a good song, Jazzy/R&B/HipHop thing. A song by RH Factor. We got out about five minutes early.<br /><br />Sociology wasn't too bad. Notes off the board, small bit of discussion aobut reading we'd done, some slides. Nothing too strenous. Got a test Monday or Thursday (mind is mildly confused for some reason) on the syllabus and some reading we're to do. Class out on time.<br /><br />Last of my morning classes was general chemistry. Not so bad as yesterday. Review lecture on basic chemistry stuff. Took notes; feel better for now. Talking to one girl in the class, who is also in a few of my other science classes, and I'm hoping that if I have major issues with chem, I can ask her for help. My mom said bribe her with gummy bears, but I think Twilight paraphanlia would work better, lol; she's got Twilight clothes and accessories, so, yea, she likes it.<br /><br />Went to lunch with Sapph; I was starving, so a type of hyper. After lunch I was a different type of hyper. Was good. Taco/nacho/salad thingy, lol.<br /><br />After lunch was biology. Took notes off slides. Supposed to get on a website so I can look at her slides, but, well, I don't know if I have powerpoint on my comp really, so, yea. But, meh, I take notes and will be able to see her slides after Labor Day Weekend; going home cuz my birthday is the friday before Labor Day.<br /><br />After I got outta Bio, I cam to my room and unpacked bag then checked some stuff before going back to science hall to introduce myself to my advisor, except the name on the door was different, so I don't know.<br /><br />Tonight there's going to be a carnival thing. I wanna go; seems like it'd be fun. Small possible problem though. Sapph's parents came up to fix his car (brakes were iffy) and they're going to take us out to dinner after Sapph's classes let out. So, yea, depending on how long it takes us, we might miss some of the carnaval, but I kinda doubt it because the thing is 7-11. I have a small hope that I'll see SB and find a way to introduce myself. Maybe comment on her tattoos, something. But, knowing me and my personality, might just end up saying nothing and doing my usual stare from the distance act >.< But, meh, kinda wanna try and make friends if I do get to see her.... Meh. Deluded, I know.<br /><br />Anyway, that's all for now. May update again after the carnaval to tell all my lovely watchers how it was, but we'll see. Lurvels!!<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />Luna<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/p/pride.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":pride:" title="Pride" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" title="Bullet; Orange" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletyellow.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletyellow:" title="Bullet; Yellow" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletpurple.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletpurple:" title="Bullet; Purple" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/p/pride.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":pride:" title="Pride" /><br /><a href="http://loveredplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/o/loveredplz.gif" alt=":iconloveredplz:" title="loveredplz"/></a><a href="http://loveorangeplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/o/loveorangeplz.gif" alt=":iconloveorangeplz:" title="loveorangeplz"/></a><a href="http://loveyellowplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/o/loveyellowplz.gif?2" alt=":iconloveyellowplz:" title="loveyellowplz"/></a><a href="http://lovegreenplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/o/lovegreenplz.gif" alt=":iconlovegreenplz:" title="lovegreenp... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, I went to the concert tonight; wsa really good. Katie Orlofski. She sang mostly country songs, but a few of her own. she's really good. Enjoyed it; had fun.<br /><br />At the concert, who did I see but SB. Watched her like the creepy starer I am. I just like to watch people. But, I started to think semi-obsessive thoughts, so left and am still listening to the concert in my dorm; can hear it through the window. But, Katie has stopped singing and is now just music. Still, better than silence...<br /><br />Trying to help a friend with his love-life issues; told a girl he loved her and she said she only loves him like a brother, so, yea. Dunno. Plus, talking to CC some and he's got a love interest that I'm rooting for, but is complicated and so am trying to help and be supportive as necessary.<br /><br />---WHINE ALERT---<br /><br />I'm tired of helping all these people with their love lives when I don't have one. I'm just lonely. Hating it. Wanting to carve out the part of me that feels like this. In fact, just want to cut myself. Except I don't want to do it. I want someone else to take the knife and play out their dark, twisted fantasies; my dark, twisted fantasies. I dunno... I feel almost numb, yet not quite. Want to be an idiot. wont though. No real desire; just urges. There is a difference, at least with me. *sigh* Whatever, I'm done.<br /><br />---END WHINE BIT---<br /><br />Okay, so I'm just going to wander away for the time being. Try and write; it's what I feel like doing.

                <description><![CDATA[ Today was a form of evil, that is the truth. My bag for the morning is HEAVY because I had College101, which is a binder, Sociology, which is two paperback textbooks, and General Chemistry, which is a big heavy hardcover textbook. And, each one of those classes is on the third floor! And while two are in the same building, they aren't consecutive. That's a lot of walking and carrying a heavy load. But, the evil was later. After lunch I had my Chemistry Lab, which made the evil much less so.<br /><br />Okay, in more depth we go! lol<br /><br />College101 wasn't bad. Dr. Mr. (that's the prof's nickname, so I'll use it....) handed out a guideline paper on the requirements each major needs to graduate. All BioMajors need some of the same stuff--Bio 124/125 (enrolled now), Bio 200 (botany), Bio 202 (zoology), Chem 110/110 (enrolled now), Chem 112/113 (ChemII), Phys 101/110 (PhysicsI), Phys 102/111 (PhysicsII), Math 145 (PreCalc), and Math 160 (Stats). I've already had CalculusI, so when I talk to my advisor person, I'm going to ask him what I should do about that and how it counts for/against me; I passed CalcI with a C, so I wanna take it again, but I don't really wanna take PreCalc if it can be avoided. Anyway, for each "division" of the major, there are specific courses that must be taken. For Forensics I will also need to take:: Bio 212 (AnatamyI), Bio 214 (AnatII), Bio 220 (Sci Meth), Bio 306 (BioTechI), Bio 321 (BioTechII), Bio 322 (Crime Scene), Bio 481 (Capstone), Chem 340/341 (OChemI+lab), Chem 342/343 (OChemII+lab), CJ 152 (Intro to Criminal Justice), CJ 236 (CrimI), CJ 303 (CrimLaw), CJ482 (CrimInvest), CLS 340 (ClinBioChemI), and CLS 342 (ClinBioChemII). Whoa...typing it up makes me suddenly see how big a case load that will be. Any else think it's overwhelming, just a bit? lol. Good thing--I've got four years to get all those credit hours. And, I'm looking forward to those years <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />Anyway, yea, he just gave the paper and went over it some.<br /><br /><br />Second I had Sociology. It wasn't too bad. But, I did realize something when she handed out a survey and stuff; I hate how she does papers. It's something about the font and the sizes and how she organzies her handouts that gives me a kind of headache and makes me almost wanna cry because my head doesn't like it (although the desire to cry may have something to do with low bloodsugar or somesuch cuz when I go too long without food I get more "emotional, except I'd had breakfast...must not've been enough or something... but I digress). After handing out the survey thing she then started a slideshow and we took notes. Just about History&Biography and interrelation and something else. I dunno what I'm saying, lol; looking out the window as I type this up. But, was interesting except, again, I hate her (lack of) formating skills; it's really kinda hard for me to follow at times and it makes my head "hurt" to follow along.<br /><br />After Sociology I had General Chemistry. We didn't do much of anything but an assessment on skills. Well, I have some major issues with chemistry; something about the memorization for all the chemicals and such. I dunno, but me and chem just don't always agreee. Anyway, I did not enjoy that assessment. I'm something of a sort of academic perfectionist. I don't need to get As; I just need to understand and follow the material. And, I feel "stupid" if I'm not one of the first ones to finish a test for some reason. In my mind, it means I don't know the material and shouldn't be there because I can't get stuff out and down. So, as we took this assessment, about half through the "period" several people start turning their stuff in and I want to cry because I'm struggling and can't remember a thing and I'm just not enjoying it. I'd skipped several, guessed on a few; I just wan't having fun. But, I struggled for a few more minutes before giving up and turning it in with guesses and blanks. I may have done better if I had my calculator, but it was dead, so after the class and before lunch I buoght batteries (need my calculator for ChemLab and BioLab, as well as GenChem).<br /><br />After Chem, I came back to my room to see what kinda batteries my calc takes (Sapph has AA, but not AAA) and I find out it takes AAA, so I call my mom and tell her I have a problem. I cried as I talked to her because I was telling her much I hate chemistry and how stupid it makes me feel and stuff. But, I felt better after talking to her, which is a good thing. After getting off the phone with her, met Sapph outside to get me some batteries at the bookstore (misleading name in someways...) and then get lunch. After lunch I had ChemLab, so I rushed there.<br /><br />ChemLab is supposed to be 1-4; that's a THREE HOUR lab, and the classroom has no chairs, so that'd be three hours of standing. Anyway, the prof is an interesting looking gu... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, so outta loneliness and a desire to torture myself (don't ask...) I decided to go through SB's pictures (HotChick in other words; I feel that HotChick is to, I dunno, wrong, so going to use her initials). Well, she has some really really hot ones 0.0 <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/d/drool.gif" width="15" height="18" alt=":drool:" title="Drool" /> lol. A couple of her newest ones are actually of her with a guy, one of which with them in the hospital and by reading comments I learned she had donated her kidney; that's something amazing! Later there was an amazing close up of her with a hat on and it's just amazing. She actually has two facial piercings--right eyebrow and right nostril (sp?), as well as her ears. Anyway, I just came across the picture that made me total eep and needing to write this journal--there is a picture of her with two other girls and in her hand is--dah dah dah--a rainbow cup!! Maybe I'm blowing things into mental reality's dimensions, but still; rainbows=gay or support. Because it was the stripes, not like a curved rainbow (ha, curved rainbow XD). So, yea, EXCITED!!! I'm being a stupid, creepy stalker chick, but, I dunno... Just lonely and wishing for someone and her being my current interest, <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/shrug2.gif" width="19" height="19" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /> I go stalking...<br /><br />Just so all of you know, I don't really stalk. I just read pages and go through pictures of people that are somewhat interesting in any way just to get a feel, of sorts, for them. I'm not really that creepy; I just act like it at times.<br /><br />Also, still haven't seen SB on campus since BotB, which makes me much sorrowed, but, oh de well....<br /><br />That's all for now; just wished to express my (creepy?) joy at seeing rainbow striped cup in SB's hand, lol<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />Luna<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/p/pride.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":pride:" title="Pride" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" title="Bullet; Orange" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletyellow.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletyellow:" title="Bullet; Yellow" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletpurple.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletpurple:" title="Bullet; Purple" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/p/pride.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":pride:" title="Pride" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ There is a moment, an instant where suddenly nothing feels right. You're tired. You're lethargic. You want to sleep, but you don't have the energy to even crawl into bed. You're afraid to close your eyes; you don't want tears to escape your hold. It's exhausting... I'm right there right now. I don't even know why. Went to dinner after finishing my homework and suddenly...suddenly I feel bleh. Half desires float just beyond my conciousness, close enough that I know what I want, yet far enough away that I'm not pushed to fulfill those desires. I don't even know what the hell is wrong with me. I just feel so damn lonely. And I'm tired of constantly feeling the same. Yea, I know, it's not truly a constant, but sometimes it feels like one. I dunno. I'm happy here, I'm glad I'm here, but...meh. All of a sudden I felt wrong. Damn... Oh well... I'm done.

                <description><![CDATA[ So, today was my second day of classes--and will likely be my easiest day each week (Tuesdays, I mean). I only have two classes.<br /><br />First thing was College 101 9a-10a. What it is is a class to prepare freshman for the transistion from high school to college. Boring sounding course, eh, but the professor seems really funny. He's the Dean of the School of Sciences, and he's a kook, I swear. Anybody from my school remember Mr. Clark? Well, the prof is <i>just</i> like him, I swear. He paces the entire time and at one point he said if he were to stop, he'd fall asleep. Remind you of anyone?? lol. I think I'm going to have fun in there, simply because I like the vibe I get from the prof.<br /><br />I then did nothing all day! Actually, no, I finished most of my Sociology reading; just have the seven pages from the other text to read. I also played on the 'net for a good while and just killed time before picking up my refund check, getting my mailing address, and eating lunch (not the best thus far; had salad and lots of desserts, lol). After lunch, came back to sit outside (I like warm sunshine -_-) and finish my reading then had my last class of the day--BIOLAB!!<br /><br />Lol. Okay, small explanation--I am a BIG science nerd. I love it. If I didn't, why would I be taking a science major? But, yea, Biology=love, lol.<br /><br />Anyway, I had Biology Lab 1-3, or at least was supposed to; it's a two hour lab course once a week. Today, all we did was metric system (review for me) and significant figures, or sig figs for short(also review). We were let out an hour early. But, while doing stuff, it made me realize how much I miss math and all that. How dorky is that?? I'm looking forward to next week. Is also nice that the professor is a very pretty woman; too bad she's also married, lol. But, I think I'll like the class. Like the vibe (and appearence, lol XD) of the professor, and I just plain like the subject.<br /><br />Not looking forward to tomorrow though *sigh* My bag is OVERstuffed for my morning classes. I have College101 again 9-10, Sociology 10-11, then Chemistry 11-12. It's the chem textbook that really weighs my bag down >.< What just makes Wednesdays all the <i>better</i> is that after my lunch hour I have Chemistry Lab 1-4. Now, mind you, I do like Chem, but it isn't (or at least wasn't) the biggest fan of me. Maybe it has something to do with the numbers, or maybe it's the chemicals; it can decide. But, yea, at least my afternoon is one li'l book for the lab and after four I'm scotch-free. Longest day, and most full *sigh* Goes from super easy day to super "pull-out-hair-crazy" day. Thursday is the exact same as Monday was--Music 9-10, Sociology 10-11, Chem 11-12, and Bio 1-2. Friday is another easy-ish day; Coll101 9-10, Music 10-11, and Bio 11-12 then home free for the rest of the day.<br /><br />Okay, that last bit was just a lot of rambling... I'm in love with both bio professors; they're both so <i><b>pretty</b></i>, lol.Haven't seen Hot Chick still, but I wanna wanna, lol. I have this stong feeling, this gut feeling that if we were to meet and talk, based on what her facebook says, we'd click and get along really well. *sigh* I'm such a silly dreamer >.< But, yea, wanna see her again!!<br /><br />Okay, I'm done for real now. Sorry for the digressions, the side-story rambles I went off on.

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm a creepy facebook stalker, lol. My RA added me on her facebook, so I decided to see if I could find hot chick (that's going to be her nickname, lol) and guess what--I FOUND HER!! Eep! And, I wondered if I could friend request her, so I did. AND SHE ACCEPTED!! lol. I'm such a dweeb at the moment. But, <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/d/drool.gif" width="15" height="18" alt=":drool:" title="Drool" /> she is hoooooottttttttt. I wonder if she's gay.....please....? lol. I'm such a dork, I swear >.< So, yea, Hot Chick accepted my friend request and I am now going through her pictures (I like looking at pictures...) and read her info; she's fantastic sounding!! Like me in interested in pretty much all music. Newest favorite book is "Wicked" by Gregory Maguire; one of my all-time FAVORITE books. Lol. Who else thinks I'm creepy?? I swear.... if this chick new how I was acting, good probability she'd run for the hills right away. *sigh* Oh well. I still think she is hot and still want to be a real friend, not just Facebook.<br /><br />Okies, done<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />Luna<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, so today was my first day as an "official" (in my mind) college freshman. Eep! lol, kidding. Anyway, who all is curious how my first day went? Show of hands? Yay! Someone, way in the back! So, here it goes <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />My first class was Music Appreciation, which I have with my roommate (but we didn't sit together; she left before I did even). The professor seems nice, kinda cute, pretty eyes (lol; I'm being goofy...). He is a saxophonist and teaches some instruments to students, as well as does Jazz Ensemble. So, seems like he'll be an interesting person. As to the class--doesn't seem too bad. Fun even. Have a textbook as well as a CD set for reading/listening assignments. Already have to read the first chapter by Thursday, but shouldn't be too very hard. Also, throughout the semester, I have to go to four concerts and write a one page, single soaced, 12pt paper on them. Not too bad; good thing I like music, and like to write.<br /><br />Second I had Sociolgy. Professor seems interesting. Little ol' lady. Has done a lot of things and such in her field. Class will be interesting to me because sociology is a subject I find fascinating. Have two textbooks, though, and have to read some from both by Thursday; first chapter of one and pgs 1-7 of the other. Not too bad, except I've had Scoiology in high school and the first chapter (so far) is kinda repetitive of what I'd learned. Oh well; we'll see how it goes.<br /><br />Just before lunch I had General Chemistry. Wasn't too bad. The professor is a middle-aged, I'd guess, male with a sizeable gut, but it seems he knows his stuff; he's the chair of the department. Class only lasted 20 mins because he didn't want to lecture yet, so, yea. Got out half an hour early. Kinda dreading, kinda looking forward to Chem because of how much trouble I had Junior year of HS with Pre AP/AP Chem, but we'll see.<br /><br />After lunch I had my last class--Biology Prinicples, which is the biology for biology majors (which is what I am, of course, lol). The professor was adorable, a little looking girl, pretty actually. But, noticed a big sparkly ring on her left hand (KIDDING! Not on the ring, but on the hints of me actually trying anything deal). Class will prove challanging, which I'm happy for; hate being bored. No homework yet, but she did show slides and we took notes; not bad for a first day.<br /><br />So, there you are. Sapph has classes 9-12 then nothing until classes again 2-6. Roomie was lucky for today--just music 9-10 then she doesn't have class again til 2-4. Tomorrow's my easiest day because it's only two classes--College 101 9-10 then I don't have anything til Biology Lab 1-3. Much fewer books to lug on my shoulder then--thank god!! lol.<br /><br />Okies, that's all for now. Lurvels all my lovely watchers who read this rambling mess <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />Luna<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/p/pride.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":pride:" title="Pride" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" title="Bullet; Orange" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletyellow.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletyellow:" title="Bullet; Yellow" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletpurple.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletpurple:" title="Bullet; Purple" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/p/pride.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":pride:" title="Pride" /><br /><a href="http://loveredplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/o/loveredplz.gif" alt=":iconloveredplz:" title="loveredplz"/></a><a href="http://loveorangeplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/o/loveorangeplz.gif" alt=":iconloveorangeplz:" title="loveorangeplz"/></a><a href="http://loveyellowplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/o/loveyellowplz.gif?2" alt=":iconloveyellowplz:" title="loveyellowplz"/></a><a href="http://lovegreenplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/o/lovegreenplz.gif" alt=":iconlovegreenplz:" title="lovegreenpl... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello all my pretties! Guess what! I have exciting news! I <i>finally</i> have my own laptop! Well, actually it's a little netbook, but still. I have internet and privacy; I'm happy. Only a couple small negatives:: no disk drive and it was a bloody <i>trip</i> to set up the goddamn wireless. Thank god for cells to call Daddy and besties who have some tech-knowledge, lol.<br /><br />I am moved in at my dorm, and pretty happy so far. Moved in on Friday. It's pretty nice. Very little homesickness (but don't tell Mommy! lol). Still my insecure self, but I feel different at the same time. Maybe it has to do with NOT carrying around a 20lb purse that contains my life, lol. Instead, I have my cell and college ID/dorm key in my right pocket, iPod in my left, and my wallet in my back left. It makes things much easier, lol. Plus, I can carry other things when I have classes and such in my computer bag, so I won't be missing anything. It's very exciting <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />My roomie is a complete opposite of me. Where I study, she is a kind of slacker. I keep to myself and am a good li'l girl; she keeps saying "I'm bored; let's go and meet people." and she is a partier. But, I still think we'll get along. We'll see; I'm hoping for the best. So far, she has gotten me outta the room and meeting some people, which I count as a definate plus.<br /><br />Classes start tomorrow (Monday). I have Music 9a-10a, Sociology 10a-11a, Chemistry (class) 11a-12p, and Biology (class) 1p-2p on Mondays. Tuesdays are easier; College101 (Freshman Experience or somesuch) 9a-10a and then I have nothing until my Biology (lab) 1p-3p. Wendnesdays are my longest. I have College101 9a-10a, Sociology 10a-11a, Chemistry (class) 11a-12p, and Chemistry (lab) 1p-4p. Thursdays I have Music 9a-10a, Sociology 10a-11a, Chemistry (class) 11a-12p, and Biology class 1p-2p. My "shortest" days are Fridays with College101 9a-10a, Music 10a-11a, and Biology (class) 11a-12p. Heavy case-load, but I'm really excited. Something to occupy (and challange) my mind. I'm just kinda "Boo!" about all the chemistry; it's hard for me, lol. Probably because of all the math involved...<br /><br />Yesterday there was a Battle of the Buildings were all the dorm halls competed against one another; my dorm came in second. While there, I saw (not met <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />) someone I found HOT. And, if you know me, you know I use that word very infrequently. It was a girl, but when I first saw her, my first thought was "Boy." That first thought wasn't helped by the fact she is an RA at the all-boys dorm. Anyway, I don't know her name, age, major, year, nothing. But, description time!! She is about average height (shorter than me in other words, lol), short bleached hair that was in a faux hawk yesterday (didn't get to see her today <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />), tattoos on her arms (two on right, one on left) and some on her legs/ankles [none of which I can describe because wasn't close enough to see them], and she has glasses. I don't really know what else to say. She is def androgynous, but no idea on her sexuality or anything. I want to get to know her, see if we could be friends (or more<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> lol). I don't know; seeing her, I was immediatly curious and drawn. Even when I thought her a guy, I thought to myself, "he's hot..." lol.<br /><br />I don't know what else to say or anything. I am a Freshman in COLLEGE! away from home for the first real time, and I'm sooooo excited. Classes start tomorrow, and I'm really looking forward to that. Just...a great new experience ahead, and I'm happy with my choice thus far.<br /><br />Oh, one last thing. So far, I have come out to no one, but haven't really had a chance otherwise. I will not be closeted while here; I even brought rainbow shoelaces and a belt, lol. Oh, and the pillow <br />Andy made me with rainbows stitched on the back. So, yea, if I am asked or whatever, I will tell the truth. And still planning on joining GSA, as well as the Forensic club. So, wish me luck, if you'd be so kind <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />Luna<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/p/pride.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":pride:" title="Pride" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /><img src="... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ At Sapph's again. My mouth hurts like a bagezzer. Evil appliance... Hmm, what do I have on my mind at the moment? Showing off "Edge" app on my iPod to Sapph, which includes gay news (always important) and gay pictures (just fun). Some very interesting stuff on there, some that even pisses me off. Like, omg, some news anchor got fired and he says it's because he's gay. Well, maybe it AIN'T that reason, you numbnuts! Maybe you just pissed off some higher-ups. And, omg, that one survivor guy was put in jail for tax evasion. He says he wouldn't have been put in jail if he wasn't gay; you so sure?? Maybe it's because you EVADED YOUR TAXES!? But, guess what, good news, gay Survivor guy is BACK in jail, lol. Is that mean of me to laugh? Quite possibly, but, really, I don't care. I hate how we use "celebrities," even 15mins of fame celebrities, as our big role models. Thank you for donating to this or that charity. Congrats, you've just given so many children better lives by adopting them. You're OH SO SPECIAL! Really! It's annoying that we pay so much attention to these people, when we have normal people who do just as much or more. We have people who do all sorts of things for the greater good of society, but do they ever get recognition? Or, better question, do they seek recognition out?? Yea, I get that as being a celebrities you can influence a greater number of people than us "Regular Joes" can, but why must it be such a big deal all the time? Just, I don't know, it royally pisses me off at times....<br /><br />Okay, so I got that outta my system for a second time; the first time was in the car with Sapph on my way to his house. Something less "rawr" and more "boo-hoo" How many will be surprised with what I type on the next line? Many? Prob not. Okay, here we go~~<br /><br />I am Lonely, yet again. lol. How exciting, ain't it? Not really. I don't know. Maybe it's because friends are finding people they like and telling me, all happy (and I'm happy for them, don't dare misunderstand that), but even as I clap and cheer and scream out with a joy at their happiness, a small part of my heart cries a crimson drop, knowing I'm still alone. Or, maybe I'm lonelier, in a sense, because I'm afraid of what college will offer me. I'm afraid that all my hopes/delusions will be dashed because my fantasy world differs so strongly from reality. I don't know... I just...really want to find someone. I just want to be held. I don't know... *sigh* Oh de well. It'll pass, I know. Someday I'll find someone.<br /><br />So... What else... I just hate how people are. I hate people. Well, no, I don't "hate" people. I just hate how people are, how they act. The cruelty, meanness. I don't like how nasty we are to one another. I wish the world was better place, but I know it probably won't get better any time soon. It just makes me sad... I wish it were beauty, and I see the beauty, but there is so much dirt, grime, ugly that must be sifted through in order to see that bright beauty that is to be so cherished...<br /><br />I don't think I really have anything else to say. Lonely, but I'll be okay. Anxious, although more excited, about school; move into my dorm Friday. Anxious about meeting my roommate and other people at school. Nervous about classes; start those on Monday. Just, I don't know. Love me...<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />Luna<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/p/pride.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":pride:" title="Pride" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" title="Bullet; Orange" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletyellow.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletyellow:" title="Bullet; Yellow" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletpurple.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletpurple:" title="Bullet; Purple" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/p/pride.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":pride:" title="Pride" /><br /><a href="http://loveredplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/o/loveredplz.gif" alt=":iconloveredplz:" title="loveredplz"/></a><a href="http://loveorangeplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/o/loveorangeplz.gif" alt=":iconloveorangeplz:" title="loveorangeplz"/></a><a href="http://loveyellowplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="ht... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ At Sapph's waiting to go out and about with him and his sis. So, I'm going to update my journal quickly. Two days to moving into my dorm. Should get a computer of my own soon after, so you all will, in theory, see me on more often again. Got a dog on my feet as I write this... Don't really know what i want to say. Got off my job for the last time on Sunday. Getting my paycheck today, hopefully, if we get moving... Coming back every month for my dental/orthodontic appliance. Coming home and going to work during winter and summer breaks. Hoping against hope to find a girlfriend/boyfriend at school; wish me luck in that venture. Lots of people around me are finding love; jealous a touch... Uhm... I don't know. Sorry I don't regularly reply to comments/replies; afraid of losing them on cyberspace using my iPod. If anything exciting or whatever comes up and you really wanna talk, I do reply to notes; they don't get lost in cyberspace using my iPod, lol. So, anything, whatever, laters all.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />Luna<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/p/pride.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":pride:" title="Pride" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletorange:" title="Bullet; Orange" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletyellow.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletyellow:" title="Bullet; Yellow" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletpurple.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletpurple:" title="Bullet; Purple" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/p/pride.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":pride:" title="Pride" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm sitting alone in my basement. It is dark, kind of cold. But I can handle the cold as I sit with a quilt on my lap, one of the ones made for me by my mom. I have music playing by my side, from my iPod. I like it, but it's getting a little dull as it goes through it's third or fourth round. My phone sits on top of my iPod, dark and quiet. Is anyone else still awake in the world? In my area? In my life? My brother sits upstairs in Dad's armchair, reclined and watching TV. Or maybe he is no longer in the chair. Maybe he has wandered off to his room to sleep. After all, he does work tomorrow. And I don't. Aren't I so lucky? I go to school in about fourteen days, August 21, and that means I'm almost done working for the time being. Just until December, when I come home for Christmas break. Just six more days of work, five of which are consecutive. How fun... I'm lonely in this little town. I'm ready to move on, move forward. But, really, I'm not going anywhere large and exciting. My college is on top of a hill about half an hour from civilization. Maybe closer. A small, closed community... So different from the other school I was seriously considering, which IS the town, the place where everything is happening. It was just too much for me there... But, even if the school I'm heading to is small, it is still new people, new opportunities. It even has a GSA, Gay Straight Alliance, which I plan on joining. Just hope my roommate is gay friendly... Will find out in a couple of weeks. I hope that during my four years I can find a lover. I still think girlfriend, but really it doesn't matter too very much. Just...want to find some kind of healthy relationship. But...four years is a long time. So, friends are important too. Please, I love my bestie, but let me make more friends. I don't want to be stuck with the same ties all my life. It's just, I want to make the most of this new chance, new opportunity. I don't want it to go to waste just because I'm a shy, introverted individual. I want to voice my views, become myself beyond what is expected of me. You want to know something completely random that I'd thought up the other day? My grandmother would have a heart attack if she knew I was into girls because I am her one and only granddaughter. Yes, the one and only--with five male cousins and a brother. I'm special.... And if she knew I wasn't "straight" she might keel over....<br /><br />It's like constantly killing a part of the soul. Every time I lie, omit, circumvent, a part of my soul dies. It isn't that I don't want to tell the truth; I just can't. I don't want to be hurt, don't want to hurt those who I care about. It's just... Every time people talk about me getting a boyfriend, I have to smile and play along. They don't want to know, not really. And I'm afraid to tell the truth. If they don't already know, maybe there's a reason. Yet, whatever the reason may be, it's killing me to keep it inside all the time. I'm not straight. I'm near it at times, but really I'm on the furthest end of the sexuality spectrum. I like androgyny, gender-bending. I like some aspects of females and others of males. And if I told my family this, if I came out to all of them, it would likely make them crazy or something. I'm supposed to be one way, and my sexuality deviates so far from those expectations. But... their expectations are a lie if they aren't me, right? I don't know. I just, I hate lying, i really do. I hate that, even though I will tell the truth if asked and such, I still live in a closet. It is a prison. One that is self-imposed, maybe, but it is also imposed upon me in some ways by society, by family, by the expectations others hold for me. Do others know what I mean? Does your soul die regularly? Or are you so far out that you don't feel any need to lie, omit, circumvent, devil-may-care, come what may? I'm not afraid to tell the truth when I know I won't be hurt, when I know the person will be able to accept it. But, I don't just say it; people ask or hint and I will respond with the truth. But when I'm not asked, when there are assumptions, when I play along with the games of society... I hear the shatter of my soul as it dies just a little more. I don't know. Just wanted to share this thought I'd had while working earlier. Does anyone else know what I mean, go through the same things? Isn't it horrible...?<br /><br />I don't know what else I really want to say. I'm still just sitting in the dark basement. I think I'm going to go upstairs and go to bed, though. I'm tired. Kinda just want to lie in my warm, safe bed and cry for a little bit before going to sleep. Loves to all my watchers and all who take time to actually read my long, rambling journals. I love you guys; you make this madness at least a little worthwhile.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />Luna<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" hei... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Do you know me? Maybe. Maybe you just think you do. Do I know myself? Maybe. Maybe I'm as clueless as the rest of you all. Who am I? I am the eighteen-year-old who turns nineteen in a month. I am the pansexual with androgynous/female leanings who still questions her sexuality at times. I am the girl who hates her body, hates that she is female, but doesn't really have any urge to be a man. I am the child crying herself to sleep, and not knowing why. I am the one so afraid of being alone that I push everyone away before they have a chance to leave me. And when they do leave me...I lock myself back in my shell until someone comes along thinking they can prove me wrong. I am forgiving, but I do hold onto my hurts and scars. I forget so much, but some things remain that I wish would fade away into the darkness of memory. I am a poet, a writer of truths and lies. I seek truth, but I fear learning more than I wish to acknowledge. I sit in the dark, writing mistakes on my body. I smile while all look on, but when they turn away tears slip from my eyes. Adults are blind to my madness while my friends, my peers see it and ignore it or laugh. I am screaming, but I am also laughing. I know happiness, even when I write of sorrow. I have secrets, just like all of us. Whether mine are so bad, who really can judge. Mistakes have been made. People have loved me, lost me, hurt me. I have hurt people, loved them, lost them. I have learned, but I have also had to do wrongs to gain my knowledge. I am afraid, yet I know I am brave. I am struggling, yet I manage to survive. I am many pieces, but I am one person, one individual. In the end, what is truth? What is lie? And do we ever...really know...who we are...?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I really should sleep at night, especially because when I get up after not sleeping I'm a right terror. I'm soooo not nice when I'm still sleepy. Meh. But, I can't stand falling to sleep. It's just so...hard to explain, and I don't feel like it at the moment.<br /><br />Okay, going to say it right here and right now--this more than likely will end up as a type of lonely whine, as per usual, so if you're tired of the constant repetition (even I am), then feel free to wander away; I still lurve you regardless, no worries <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />Okay, so, what do I wish to say. Dunno. I just... It's harder you know. It's harder to smile. To laugh. To be "normal." Yet, it is also easier. It's confusing. I constantly feel on the verge of tears, except it isn't a constant feeling. I feel happiness, and I feel sorrow. Ups and downs, which truly are constant in their inconsistency. Does that make sense? Who really knows. I most certainly don't know. I just really hate that I feel lonely, yet the loneliness is, in a part, my own fault. I am, after all, the one who doesn't dare to initiate conversations with others I don't know. If I don't feel comfortable, I will wander away and, if that isn't option, I shut down (at least verbally). I'm the one who pushes away those who try to help me, to love me. I don't want to believe it when someone tells me they love me, or if they only like me. It has taken me several years to really believe it when someone tells me I'm beautiful, so I guess it kinda makes sense that I'm so hesitant to take "compliments," for lack of a better term. I don't want to be loved. For some reason in my warped mind, I don't feel I deserve it. I love myself, but not near enough. I am proud of who I am and would never change, but I question if anyone else would really like who I am. I don't know what I mean exactly. Warped self image? More than likely. Where does said self-image derive from? That, I will not answer. Too many secrets, some even I won't admit to myself. My life isn't and hasn't been "hard" or "difficult" because my parents are still together and really do love each other. Me and my brother are getting along now that we hardly see each other and work together. Nothing's wrong--except for myself. I am wrong. But why? What? I don't know. I don't know that I really want to know even. Is it the scars? Physical? Emotional? Mental? Burns? Self-inflicted? I know I am beautiful, but I feel ugly. That line, that is important:: <b>I know I am beautiful, but I feel ugly</b> It is the truth as bluntly as I know how to express it. Mental versus emotional. A constant contradicting battle. I miss when life was simple. But was it ever truly such? You know, I don't think life ever was or ever will be simple. It's more that our perceptions are simplified because we don't "know" as much, but as our "knowledge" is built upon, our perceptions grow and complicate. We, as a human race, are complicated. It is the truth, and we all know it. Individuals who are all different, yet some how we are similar enough to be considered one race. I don't know what that means; random passing thought. I'm just kinda writing in order to avoid sleep. Do you know why I don't like falling asleep? Because, I love being asleep. Falling asleep is a half-state. You are aware in a way that makes you unaware. It is a state where anything can happen and you aren't truly capable of stopping it from happening. You may jolt into full consciousness, but what if you don't? What if it is someone you know and trust? Or at least they appear as such? What do you do? What can you do? I just kinda have a fear, I guess, of what can happen during that in-between state. But, I love the state of unconsciousness obtained during sleep. I like being completely unaware of reality's reality, completely submerged in my mental reality. Which, truthfully, is a frightening place to be at times. But, still, it is mine and it can only be taken away from me through death, really. Even if I write about it or talk about it, it still remains in my possession. Do you know what I mean? Maybe..... I don't know. I really, truthfully have not a single clue as to what I am talking about. I'm talking outta my ass, lol. But, really, it isn't so low; more like a mix of shattered heart and warped mind. See, no matter what, I like to twist poetry into it all. Even my prose... I just like to write. I need to write. But I can't find the words. I'm blank, but the blankness is an overwhelming number of words combating themselves and me to be spoken, written down, shared. What am I trying to say? To reveal? To share? Who am I trying to prove myself as? To whom am I trying to prove myself? Why should I even? I just... I feel lost. Is it because so many things have and are changing? I have two more weeks of work and then one more week before I move into my college dorm (I'm moving in... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Back from vacation. Same rules as states earlier for during summer break. I do not reply to comments or replies, not because I don't want to, but because I tend to get on using my iPod, and I don't want you to lose my replies cuz I loves all y'all too much. Just so's you know, I move into my dorm on August 21, and I should be getting a laptop for school soon after, so after that I should be able to get on more regularly again, like usual school-year usage.<br /><br />What do I want to say? I'm not really sure. I just feel like uttering words. I feel adrift, afloat. Lost and unsought. Life feels like lies. I don't know. I'm lonely. Happy for friend who has found love; ecstatic for him, in fact. But... I just feel...empty. While working today (yesterday?) I had a thought of sorts--I know I'm beautiful, but I feel ugly. Does anyone know what I mean by that? It's like, head versus heart thinking. I know that I'm attractive to people, but a part of me, maybe based on secrets kept, sees myself as hideous and to be despised. Dunno. Just a thought I decided to share for some odd reason. Maybe I'm just getting tired.<br /><br />Here's the truth:: I want to be loved, but I won't accept it. I don't believe in it. I am a romantic, but a cynical, skeptical one. I don't love myself, not wholly, so I cannot help but hesitate to believe anyone could love me. I think I love, but I wonder if it is ever reality. What is reality? Is it really something distinct from fantasy? I want, but I do not accept. I distrust words and actions. Loneliness makes me stupid and foolish, but still.... I don't know. I realized something recently. Very little of my life has been spent without some sort of significant other, whether the relationship was very "real" or not. My first boyfriend lasted from about age five to fourteen. Second boyfriend was part of freshman year, September to October/November time frame, age 15-16. First girlfriend was beginning of senior year, age 18. Second and most recent girlfriend was second half of senior year. Very little time outside of some sort of relationship. And, you know, I don't like being "alone." Even though all but the last were long distance, I wasn't "alone" in any of them because there was someone who "loved" me. I don't know. I'm lonely. Excuse me if I lack sense.<br /><br />I don't feel like talking. I'm tired. It's late/early. Nearly two in the morning my time. Sorry for lack of socialization. Lurvels to all watchers/friends.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />Luna<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm bored. It's nearly one in the morning. And I just searched "Pansexual" and like a lot of what I see. So, I've decided to play upon early-morning/late-night boredom and just do a journal on this one subject.<br /><br />First off, for those wondering--What is pansexuality? I'm going to apologize first because at some points I may get a li'l, I dunno, "teachery" or something. Anyway, back to the question. First, let's break it down. "Sexuality" is relatively easy to define--noun that relates or has emphasis on sexual matters. This includes such things as attraction and who you sleep with. So what does "pan" mean? Is it the Roman (or is it Greek) god who was a goat? No, it doesn't relate to the god Pan. Then does it relate to kitchenware? No, again, it does not. What "pan" means is "all," derived from Greek prefixes. When put together, it is "All -things- relating to or emphasizing sexual matters." In simpler terms? I don't know cuz that whole definition sounds hooky, lol. But, really, pansexuality means that you love all, regardless of gender or sex. It is similar to bisexual, except bi- limits it to two, typically male and female. This is a false concept because that is simply looking at sex--the biological nature, the chromosomes (XX for female, XY for male). Gender is much more broad than just male/female binary. Genderqueer, a semi-relatively-new-ish term, denotes a bending of gender. This includes androgyny, bigender, and any other definition that is exclusive to an individual. Another "gender," if that is the correct term (I'm trying not to offend anyone on accident), that is kind of excluded from the binary is transgendered. There are some bisexuals who fall for transgendered individuals, which technically makes them pansexual. But, anyway, this shows that bisexual denotes the attraction of only two sexes/genders, while pansexuals can be attracted to any and all. The definition I often find for pansexual is being aesthetically attracted, romantically attached, or sexually involved with someone regardless of gender or sex, even as gender/sex falls outside the binary generally accepted. I just made it all condescended, sorta, but that's (sorta) the definition one can usually find.<br /><br />Okay, done defining it. Sorry if I bored anyone. Or something. I don't know what I'm doing, to tell the absolute truth; I'm just kinda ad libbing as I go outta boredom.<br /><br />Anywho, moving on!<br />Why do I even care about pansexuality? Well...that's because I myself am a pansexual. I don't care if you're male, female, or something in between; what matters to me is personality. To tell the truth, I am attracted to gender-benders, no matter how subtle or accidental the bending may be. But, that's beside the point, really, lol. I just care because I like to know what I am. I started researching sexualities about seventh grade, about six years ago (maybe), because it is something that started intriguing me as I began to question my own. I'd heard of pansexuality through a quiz on quizzila.com because I'd gotten it before, but I forgot about it until more recently. At school I would get bored and wikipedia different sexualities and then follow all the connected links through genders, sexualities, culture, etc. I started reading about pansexuality more and it started more right for how I perceived my sexuality and stuff. I'd been saying I was a lesbian at the time because I tend to like feminine type things, but I'm not exclusively attracted to females. Anyway, as I read more closely into pansexuality, I realized the truthfulness of it, at least to myself. Self revelation, if you will.<br /><br />Why do I define myself as pansexual? Like, what led to that (beyond the research)? Part of it was as I learned about other genders. One of my best friends (off 'net) is genderqueer and it made me interested, so I looked it up. She was/is still the same person, no matter her gender or whatever. And this led me to the conclusion that gender is no more than a label that limits how we are allowed to perceive a person. What I mean by that is girls are expected to be one way, guys another. Dolls for girls; trucks for boys. We limit the expected actions and hobbies (for lack of finding the correct term in my brain) based on the sex a child is born as. Sex is not a label, this I am well aware of, but gender, gender is a label. It is a defining one, but is a broad definition that you build yourself as you grow. Just because you are biologically female does not mean you will act feminine; same goes for boys being masculine. Ergo, I prefer to look beyond the label that you (or society in some cases) has defined you as because I hate labels because I perceive them as limitations. So, to sum that all up, I define myself as pansexual because I perceive gender as a limiting label, whether this is "true" or not.<br /><br />Okay, here I'm going to be even more personal to me, myself, and I. Do I have a preference? In a way, yes. I lik... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Haven't been on for a while; my apologies. Just had life to deal with and catch up on. So, let's start with some updates, shall we?<br /><br />First off, because it is first in my mind, I have an orthodontic appliance now that makes my mouth hurt. It's going to do three things--erupt my bottom molars, pull my bottom jaw forward, and widen my palette. What sucks is NONE of my teeth come together, so eating is a right trip. And talking is fun too. It's this big hardened acrylic HUNK in my mouth, top and bottom, giving me a sort of lisp or something. It's fun, gotta say. Had it less than a week now. Pluses though--I don't drool. I don't sound as bad as expected. It's stopped hurting as bad.<br /><br />Next up, I'm going on a cruise soon. I'm off of work today and tomorrow (Tuesday and Wednesday) then I work on Thursday 4p-11p. Then, on Friday, I go up to NYC to meet family and then Saturday is the cruise. It's Carnival and I'm going up to Canada. It's for my Bub and Pop's fiftieth anniversary. The entire time I'll be on the cruise, I will not have the following::cell service, internet. That means, I'll be outta contact with all my beloveds. Oh de wells. I'll survive. lol.<br /><br />What drama am I dealing with of late? A confusion that has been sorted out thanks to the help of Berto (he's still on hiatus, but I talk to him elsewhere). I'm not trying again because something feels off, even if pretty pictures have been painted. I'm desperate, but I refuse to bring my desperate feelings into a relationship that has failed once and will likely not last.... Apologies, but I'm not going to force feelings that have already faded. Something has changed, and I question whether I like that change or not....<br /><br />I got my roommate for college. She's pretty (seen pics of her on Facebook), but I don't know if it'll be a good match.... Her profile says she's Catholic, so we'll see how that goes considering my sexuality and all. I refuse to be closeted in college... She also like to "party and have a good time." She has pictures of her drinking beer and stuff... And she's about a year younger than me. Dunno. But, we'll have to see. Maybe it'll be okay and she'll be fun and nice and we'll become friends...<br /><br />Eh, might as well just admit that I've been blah a lot more lately. Well, actually worse than blah. Numb. Empty. Low. A mix of loneliness, of stress, of just general "I hate my life" feelings. Temptation has been calling loudly lately... Words have been flowing freely, in a way, but a good bit cannot be posted for various reasons. It's my coping, not the business of all; no offense meant. I've just been having to get bad thoughts out and sort through confusion. Dealing. Coping. Accepting.<br /><br />Don't think there's really anything else to say. Just felt like updating any and all about random stuff. Blahness.

                <description><![CDATA[ Oh, where to start with why I'm in my latest of unhappy moods. Wander away all uninterested persons cuz false sympathy or empathy or whatever else is less than appreciated. Sarcasm is only appreciated in certain forms where it is expected. My own sarcasm is an exception to this rule because I run on sarcasm when in this current mindset. Introduction DONE. Moving on. But where shall we go now?<br /><br />Guess who's back? Come on, guess! Guess! Wait, no, just stop already. I'll just say it. S! Omg, she's back, happiness, joy! NOT. She has played me enough and I'm done. Said as much even. But, guess what happens--I'm miss nice yet again! She gives pathetic excuses and all this wonderful drabble about how she doesn't even realize she's hurting me every time she plays her li'l here again, gone again game, even though I'd told her before how much it hurts me. But, she's so "young" in a way, so wrapped in her reality that others' realities are beyond her comprehension. So, I say if she can manage to not hurt me, she can talk to me. And guess what!!! She hurts me again. Surprised? Not exactly. But, here's the kicker--I actually got my hopes up, just a touch. Such a pathetic fool I am. Such a masochistic freak to continually let people walk all over me. But, oh well, is the way of my world. Pissed at her, and kinda just tired of it all.<br /><br />More reasons to be unhappy and upset. S is not the only one who has and does and will walk all over poor pathetic ME. CC, or rather JJ, does all the time because I'm his li'l play toy who bends to his will. Yay for my tears. Yay for my laughter. Yay yay yay!! But, wait, there's more! We also have "love." Ah, the beautiful lie it is. Just another term for "torture"! Let's see how deep we can dig the blade to see how much she bleeds, shall we?? It's like I'm always the puppet and toy and whatever else you wanna call it. You know what's truly sick--it's always people who claim to have such "deep" feelings for me. Well, guess what, must all be a lie. And I'm sick and fucking tired of all the lovely li'l lies. But, I can't shut 'em out of my head. I listen and fall and break all over again. It's oh so much fun, gotta say.<br /><br />I'm just tired and lonely and bored outta my frickin' head. I'm not doing much of anything any more. Work maybe two days a week at the moment. No school; start college August 21. So, I'm in the house with nothing to do. Sometimes wander out with friends, but not too awful much cuz we all has shit to do. As to lonely, ah... I'm almost at the point where I'm desperate. What do I mean by that? That I'm almost to the point I most fear--where I will do anything with anyone just to feel contact and sensation. But, haven't had the opportunity, which is probably just as well or else I might actually take it up.<br /><br />What else does this individual have to say? Hmm, not really sure. Just majorly in a self-loathing mood for no particular reason. Just craving pain. I am a true submissive, true masochist, until you get on my bad sad. I am not as meek as I may seem once my buttons are pushed and you cross that line. I am a violent person when I am pushed far enough. Those stories and stuff where I talk about carving people up, "saving" people by killing them, I really would do that if I was pushed far enough or if I was in just the right frame of mind. I am not any sort of pure. I am a dark, twisted individual who steals pain but has moments where I would love to inflict the same kind of agony that has been, unintentionally I might add, been inflicted upon me. Oh, but wait, is it truly unintentional? Considering all the games I've been forced to play along with. But was I really forced? Ah, the willingly unwilling, I guess that is what I'd be. Doesn't really matter. I'm pissed and sad and depressed and just BLAH. Kill me now. Or, if you can't do that, hurt me, just a little bit....<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />Luna<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>
