No Drama, No B.S., No Personality, Just Love
At 16, people use myspace to force their lacking personalities on people. Just about every girl is "totally random and completely insane lawlz!!!" and has flippy hair that hangs in front of her eyes and takes pictures that almost look like she's almost kissing her friend cuz "OMG LESBIANS THAT'S SO RANDOM AND INSANE!" Then this girl gets older and settles on a sexual orientation (which quite often is bi or fluid...) and joins a dating site.
As a 16-year-old fucktard, she learned that the "totally random and insane!" lifestyle led way to lots of "drama and stupid b.s.-ness" so she's changed and become "totally chill and laid back, just looking for somebody else who's chill and laid back like she is." She wants someone who will bring NO baggage of ANY KIND to the relationship. Someone who has never been hurt, resents no one, doesn't have problems, and can always be cheered up with a smile and a hug. After ten thousand billion relationships like this turn out to be boring and completely about sex, she tries dating someone with a soul. Since she has no soul of her own, and tries to encourage the normal human being she's dating to "just chill" and be "laid back" with her, nothing works out and she decides the normal person is "totally dramatic and b.s. and full of drama and baggage OH EM GEE!" and leaves like a spoiled little bitch. Of course THEN she goes back and starts posting "I just want someone CHILL. I MEAN IT. If you're not CHILL we're going to have PROBLEMS okay?" If you aren't chill and totally cool around her, you can expect that she'll disassemble your vital organs.
What is with all of this damn "chill" anyway? "Chill" is not a personality trait. First of all, chill is supposed to be a verb, not a noun or an adjective. Second of all, while it's nice to be able to be laid back sometimes, it shouldn't be your general constant state of being. People get raped, most people in this world are not trustworthy, people GET HURT in relationships so being "laid back" all the time is ignorant and selfish. That's not to say that a person should force their problems on others constantly, but real relationships take work. Real relationships involve hurting people and figuring out how to move beyond those hurts. Real relationships involve coping and healing together JUST AS MUCH as they involve the "good stuff." Real relationships don't involve finding someone who can "just chill" and "lay back" with you while the world moves on without your ignorant selves.
That is all.

Gripes
And, because my life is Degrassi on crack, the biggest, formalest, danciest dance just HAS to be this Friday. Being the "I WILL NOT GO ALONE I ALREADY BOUGHT SHOES OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG" person that I am, I asked a lesbian friend of mine. After calling my best friend to confirm that I really meant it when I asked for a "friend-date" she said yes, so I guess at least I've got a date. Is it weird to go on a friend date with someone you've already gotten drunk and made out with right after some girl pulled a John Tucker between you two and some bisexual chick? My inclination is "yes, extremely weird," but I'm going to try not to focus on that and at least focus on "hey I have a date."
She doesn't want to be more than friends, though, because she at least knows on the surface level that I was raped and that I've been through so much hell that she's scared to hurt me. That's understandable, I guess, but I can't help but feel like my best friend's date will marry him and they'll live in a big castle in the middle of a beautiful meadow with ponies and kittens and have beautiful golden-haired children even though he's ethnically Jewish and she's brunette.
Oh and one of the most awesomely esteemed therapists in the area diagnosed me with PTSD KNOWING that my rape was astral. I consider that something of a victory...to have documented PTSD over a non-physical, "magical" rape. I want to carry the signed diagnostic note in my wallet as a charm almost...but no I have to give it to the disabilities office so they can tell teachers I need "reasonable accomodations" ie: if the lesson is about rape they can't get mad at me for running out of the room screaming. Joy.
By the way I really wish that people would stop giving me the "think about whether or not you're ready to be in a relationship" business. If you tell me I need to think MORE about anything, unless it's feces, penises, or crawly worms you're probably wrong because I think way too much about everything else. If you think I should think more about feces, penises, or crawly worms I'll ignore you anyhow.
Speaking of penises and crawly worms, a new/old friend of mine is still friends with my rapist's ex, the boyfriend she was dating when she raped me. That is a pretty hardcore brand of awkward.
I really wish people wouldn't tell me to stop "acting" complex, to stop "dwelling" on my issues, or to just "be happy." People don't get that it isn't that fucking easy.

About three/four weeks ago, I reunited with an old high school acquaintance whose boyfriend lost his virginity to the woman I believed to be my rapist. I kept trying to get at why this acquaintance hated Rapist so much, but was only getting trivial answers like, "she told on me when I stole something for her in 8th grade," or "she's a total bitch," but the absolute despising my friend had for this woman suggested that she was guilty of more than tattle-taleing.
The conversation progressed and I confessed that I was still having nightmares about this woman, at whichpoint my friend said fairly blankly, "My boyfriend wants to speak with you about her."
Within a couple of hours, I was on AIM with the guy and he confessed to me that my rapist is definitely a physical rapist and at least an attempted psychic rapist, and that he was her first victim...she raped him when she was a fucking virgin. When I heard this, I burst into tears. I had convinced myself that I loved this woman for YEARS to keep the truth from being "she invaded my mind and raped me, enslaved me if you will, for THREE YEARS."
Next morning I left her a message saying simply, "I can't fucking wait to see you on Maury when karma fucks you harder than your rape victims you stupid piece of shit!!!!!!!"
Not the most mature thing ever, but I was fucking pissed. And "dearie" if you're reading this right now (which you probably aren't, because you hate the internet) I hope you understand, genuinely understand, that I was the only person on your side for a long time...the only person with an IQ higher than their age who sincerely wanted to believe in your goodness despite a LOT. If somehow I'm absolutely psychotic and wrong about you, you have my permission and plea to try and explain yourself. You've put a lot of people through hell, and owe us all that much at least.

Don't...
Somebody told me women can't rape today. It later became a "no that's not actually what I said, yadda blah" and she wouldn't listen to anything else I said, then tried to act like she was being the reasonable one and I was just attacking her. I'm sorry but what she said sounded pretty much like an attack to me whether she meant it or not...I think the thing that riles me more than anything in the world (this isn't an exaggeration) is people failing to realize that I'm not wrong...that I'm legitimate in my feelings and that they can't just decide I did something when I didn't and bitch me out...without due process of law...ugh.

Lame poem
Our world is burning.
The only light we have inside
is the light of destruction of our fantasies,
the only reality I ever want to know again.
The only world in which I could be sexy
and you could be pure.
The only world in which the both of us were three-dimensional
and wanted,
but you won't come to the window now
to see it.
Stop-
the spinning flames can only shred us once,
can only hurt you, save me, once
and then it shall not be over.
The world I feared, the worst you loved
will never see the light of day-and yet-
it's troubling to wonder,
when death becomes a fairy-tale
what happens to the not-lovers
who used it to survive?
Look here, look here my darling.
Inhale, inhale my love.
This lonely oxygen may well be our last-
and I'll never again write love, poorly concealed rape,
in angsty poeticism.
Our world is ash my love,
dust.
I hustle through and wonder,
how still can I affect you, to save a child's life?
How then do you continue to break my heart
with every moment
your presence does not fill?
Energy drinks, videos, and
This energy drink tastes like dirt and puke and no. I figured the other Full Throttle only tasted like that because it was the "nature is one bad mother" flavor...but the citrus one is pretty barfy too. But, hell, if I'm going to stay up until 7 p.m. I need all the help I can get.
Take care all.
