I'm sitting lonely on a rock by the sea today, watching as heavy rains fall on my hands and bare feet. The sound of the wind cries out, "Always alone! Always alone!" Making me jump with every little critter that crosses my path to find shelter.
But my head is swimming, I left for a moment and when I came back I was alone. He left, and once he left I was alone, alone to feel the stinging pain in my gut, the bottomless feeling that I wasn't going to see him for a very long time.
And I never said goodbye. I never got the second chance to tell him I loved him.
He left and now I'm alone. Always alone.

I'm depressed again.
What is this? The third... fourth day in a row? Go figure. I bet I'm going to be depressed for my birthday too. I bet my birthday is going to be spent stuck on a truck with my dad and sister.
I hate life.

So... I tried sleep. It didn't come. Then I put on some Michelle Branch, went upstairs, grabbed a towel, wet a corner of it down and grabbed my box of sparkly gel pens and sat.
Then I realized I had no paper.
So I doodled. On my arm.
It looks pretty awesome too, this design I made. Kinda flowery, real sparkly, and really creative.
I drew on my face too. Just some little things by my eye, I couldn't really see what I was doing but when I looked in the bigger mirror it looked really cool.
Then my sister drew on my other arm. It's cool.
I put "Follow Your Dreams" on my arm too.
If I had a camera, I would definitely take a picture and post it here!
And the amazing thing is, is that I feel a lot better. Not so depressed. But I'm not tired lol. I tried sleeping but I'm afraid I'll move in my sleep and my drawing's will smug (that's gel pens for ya), and no one wants that to happen :(
I can imagine Mrs. Bannerman saying, "That's against school rules; it's encouraging tattoos."
"Tattoos aren't illegal, and I'm not putting "GET A TATTOO" on my arm, neck, and face here. This is me expressing myself and if the school doesn't like it, then tough."
She'd get on my case about it. But I don't care, I wouldn't rub it off for the world.
Screw Mrs. Bannerman She can *beep*ing lick Harrisons *BEEP*BEEP*BEEP*

I'm not gonna have a very happy birthday, I can already tell you that much.
God, just kill me and get it over with.
I'm depressed. [Amara] seems to be ignoring me. Yeah, I'm not the best person in the world, but does she really need to push that into my face? What the fuck did I do wrong THIS time to get her mad at me?
Another friend who I mainly confide in all the time seems upset at me also. I hate everyone: they're all bastards anwyay. I just want to die. Is that so much? I don't want to kill myself though. I just want someone to smuggle me or shoot me while I'm walking to school.
Maybe I should take the way to school where I have to walk on the sidewalk. Maybe I'll get lucky and a car will hit me.
Maybe I should just scream at someone. But I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
I wish I had a diary. I mean a real one. Then I wouldn't have to keep everything locked up.
I miss my friends.
I wish I had some I could talk to.
[Xithia]'s a great friend. But she's not someone I can talk about my personal life with. She's someone I can talk to about anime and... well, just really weird stuff.
Kayla doesn't seem to want to talk to me, and I can understand that. She'd rather talk to [Ramera], but she's moving.
I don't know Jennifer that well and the most I've ever really said to her was just "Hi." It's an awkward thing between us.
And my other friend... I have to keep that confidential.
There's no one to talk to who'll give me the sympathy I need.
I hate life.

I'm just going to go to bed. And pray I never wake up again. Hopefully some loser will suffocate me with a pillow and end my misery for me.

Can this day POSSIBLY get any worse?
Yes, yes it can.
My day consisted of waking up, going through hell, getting to school late, hurrying to clean out my locker, having my first period teacher yell at me because I was trying to make something clear, taking a math final and being the last person done, losing my AR book, taking tests, going through a Code 1, and of course staying after school and correcting those freaking yearbooks... then calling Mom, only to have her NOT answer the phone, so I have to walk home, it consisted of getting more blisters than before, then finally I come home and it's freaking hot and I'm sweating and I can't do anything, and I'm about to fall over so by six I'm in bed sleeping, only to wake up thanks to a nice nightmare. And now I just got this devasting e-mail from someone and I don't want to reply but I GUESS I'll have to AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF Kayla is angry with me. I'm not going to be able to SLEEP tonight because I just HAD to take a freaking NAP, and now I am ANGRY, because this day just keeps getting worse and worse and worse, because I walked out of the bathroom and my dog ripped my towel off me RIGHT in front of my sister... -_-
Then a *smart* moderator locked my ticket for *an entire month* when I just put in two stories, and... God this SUCKS, I can't even DELETE THE FREAKING TICKET! I am... grr I just want to DIE!!!!
Elfwood won't get off my back about my stupid site. There's nothing wrong with it and I can name about a dozen more people who have WAY longer bios than I do!
I'm SICK of this SHIT!!!

No, I don't want to kill myself though I want to die. But I'd rather die naturally, or perhaps by hitting the ground too hard with my head while sky diving (even though the max is like 180 mph... you can stilld ie from that though ^^).
Suicide, is *not* the answer.
Though 'tis tempting.

Why Don't You?
Don't ask where I got the inspiration to write this.



Break my bones verbally with sticks and stones, why don't you?
Break my heart into tiny pieces and then piece them back together in a sorry way, why don't you?
Tie me to a bed, rape me, cut me, leave me there to starve, why don't you?
Shake me, toss me, hit me, throw me, why don't you?
Bite me, whip me, stick knives in me, why don't you?
Ignore me, turn your back on me, act like you don't know me, why don't you?
Say you love me, go ahead, I'm ready to hear it. Turn around and say it was all a lie, why don't you?
Put me away into a dark basement and lock the door, why don't you?
Sell me off to someone else, let them sleep with me, just so you can pay for your drugs, why don't you?
Blow that cigarette smoke right into my face, make me cough up blood and get so many diseases, why don't you?
Make me feel bad to be me, make me think I am nothing, nothing always to be, why don't you?
Get a bee hive and set a trap to make me step on it, why don't you?
Act like you don't give a fuck who I sleep with or where I go, then when I come back beat me black, why don't you?
You're hurting me, and you know it. Act like you care for me, hug me and kiss me, why don't you?
Say you love me, say you love me, say you love me, why don't you?
You know that hurts me worst of all, don't you?

I Guess This Time You're Really Leaving
I Heard Your Suitcase Say Goodbye
And As My Broken Heart Lies Bleeding
You Say True Love In Suicide

You Say You've Cried A Thousand Rivers
And Now You're Swimming For The Shore
You Left Me Drowning In My Tears
And You Won't Save Me Anymore

Now I'm Praying To God You'll Give Me One More Chance Girl

I'll Be There For You
These Five Words I Swear To You
When You Breathe I Want To Be The Air For You
I'll Be There For You
I'd Live And I'd Die For You
Steal The Sun From The Sky For You
Words Can't Say What A Love Can Do
I'll Be There For You

I Know You Know We've Had Some Good Times
How They Have Their Own Hiding Place
I Can Promise You Tomorrow
But I Can't Buy Back Yesterday

And Baby You Know My Hands Are Dirty
But I Wanted To Be Your Valentine
I'll Be The Water When You Get Thirsty Baby
When You Get Drunk I'll Be The Wine

I'll Be There For You
These Five Words I Swear To You
When You Breathe I Want To Be The Air For You
I'll Be There For You
I'd Live And I'd Die For You
Steal The Sun From The Sky For You
Words Can't Say What A Love Can Do
I'll Be There For You

And I Wan't There When You Were Happy
I Wasn't There When You Were Down
I Didn't Mean To Miss Your Birthday Baby
I Wish I'd Seen You Blow Those Candles Out

I'll Be There For You
These Five Words I Swear To You
When You Breathe I Want To Be The Air For You
I'll Be There For You
I'd Live And I'd Die For You
Steal The Sun From The Sky For You
Words Can't Say What A Love Can Do
I'll Be There For You

Today was a pretty good day. I got there misquito bites on my arm that are HUGE and ITCHY.
The yearbook got screwed up. More.
They messed up our administrations page, and then today when I FINALLY got to look at it -- My last name is spelled wrong.
There are three different versions of my last name in that FREAKING BOOK, AND WHOEVER DID THOSE PAGES WILL PAY!
On the *very* first page where it states the yearbook staff, my name is spelled as such: Emily McDurmah. EXCUSE ME, IT'S MCDURMAN, WITH AN "N"!!!!!
And then under the yearbook staff picture/names,: Emily McDermah.
I know the person who was responsible, they spelled everyone else's name correctly but mine. It's a bunch of preps who don't like me. And it REALLY PISSES ME OFF, BECAUSE NOW EVERYONE IS GOING TO ASSUME MY LAST NAME IS MCDURMAH! And it's TOO LATE to fix it now! I don't want to be teased about my last name -- I already am enough as it is! If anyone does, I'll freaking pound their fucking faces in, I am NOT GOING TO STAND HERE AND LET PEOPLE DO THIS TO ME!
I will MAKE THOSE FUCKING PREPS PAY. I am going to make them write apology letters to EVERYONE IN THAT DAMN SCHOOL, correcting the mistake. They will seriously pay and I will go to any length -- making fun of someone's last name IS NOT APPROPRIATE, and it is TOTALLY DEGRADING AND RUDE.
I am SO PISSED OFF! That just makes me REALLY UPSET, that those BITCHES got away with that! *sobs*

Bleh... I can't sleep. And you know why I can't sleep? BECAUSE THAT FREAKING STORY IS HAUNTING ME!
In my English class, we're reading this story called, "Flowers for Algernon," and it was so good that I came home and finished it. Which I am really sorry for.
To explain... it's pretty much like this:
It's about a 37 year-old man named Charlie Gordon who is mentally challenged. He has an I.Q. of 68 and can hardly spell, and doesn't have an imagination, and of course, with the amount of imagination you have that's pretty much a big part of your intelligence level.
So... here you have a 37 year-old mentally challenged man, who's working as a janitor, and going to school all on his own, working and living by himself. His teacher, Miss. Kinnian, sends him to this doctor to be used as sort of an expiriment to see if this neurosurgeon (brain doctor) can make him smarter.
Algernon is a mouse. And Algernon had the operation which was a total success, and the learning capabilities was outrageous. So they put Algernon to the test with Charlie. Or viz versa really. Algernon had to work his way through a cage, as did Charlie (only his was on paper) and every time Algernon won.
So then after the brain surgery, Charlie gets smarter. His I.Q. is 68, and this surgery is supposed to gradually get his I.Q. to triple that. Which like somewhere around 224. And of course, the average human intelligence (that's not considered challenged in any way, shape, or form) is 100. And being a genius is going over 125. So... 224 would make Charlie have the smartest, artificially made human intelligence on the planet and in time.
And he gets really, really, really smart.
I quote something from Charlie, "I still don't know what an I.Q. is, but I know that mine is about to go over 200 soon."
He gets really smart! And can beat Algernon lol.
But then one day, he comes into the office place and he tries to hold Algernon, but Algernon bites him. And it seems as if Algernon had been acting strange.
And then Algernon dies.
Charlie wonders... he wonders if that's going to happen to him. So he does tons of research, and he cuts Algernon open to see his brain.
Algernon's brain literally disintegrated. His intelligence failed, his reaction to things became slow.
And all this happens to Charlie. But Charlie tries as hard as he can to make this report on everything he finds, and he writes whenever he can.
I don't know if he died in the story, because it ended like this (oh, he buried Algernon in his back yard): "P.P.S. i love you miss kinnian, pleas dont forget to put flowers on Algernons grave in my bak yard...."
So, in short, Charlie had an I.Q. of 68. Then he was used as an expiriment and his I.Q. rapidly rose to 224. But then it dropped back to 68 again, and he probably died. I hate and yet I love this story... it's so amazingly sad...
