First and fore most, aww, poor Heath Ledger. I am truly saddened by his death. I don't know why. Death is always sad, but he was so young, and it just hit me very hard. My prayers to Michelle and the baby. :(
Now, craziness is happening all the time and rarely do I find time to stop and think and put it all together. I've been attempting to write a blog for a while now, and just have not had the time, or really the desire to sit and write what I've been feeling. I've been in this fog ever since the start of South Pacific. I've been quite unsocial and it doesn't bother me. There have been great times and at the same time there have been very awkward situations and things that have happened, but I've taken all of it and just put it in a box in my brain and well, the box is full. Time to empty it. I shall do that here.
First of all, Happy New Year. Yes, I know it's almost Feburary. So what, happy new year anyway. New Year's was great. Shift wasn't as poppin as last year, but I did okay. Jenn and Brian were my first kisses of the year, so that was nice. On behalf of the Boo Organization, I would like to welcome Jenn to the order of the Boo's. Congrats on that, not an easy task.
Second, I'd like to say farewell to Dena. It was great having you. Hope life's path lays out for you in a most easy fashion. I wish you the best in all you do.
Third, I'd like to say happy birthday to Douglas. Con todo mi passion, Feliz Cumpleanos!!
Fourth, Ashleigh. I love you. I feel for you. I'm here. Don't hesitate to ask if you need anything. Us Divas must stick together, no matter what.
Fifth, Bell Haven. I promise, I will come. I will get out there as soon as possible. I've been trying for weeks, but for some reason or another, I don't make it. I'm coming, darling, I promise...
And last, but certainly not least, the spiral. I write about this with the upmost assurance that there method to this madness and that some power greater than I can see is watching, and helping, and ensuring we both make it through this. "And the Lord replied, 'The times you saw only on set of footprints, those were the times I carried you.'
Until Wednesday, I didn't know what to think of you, or me, or both. But now, now I see that the miscommunication that I insisted stood between us and that I entirely blamed on you was me. Or some part of it was me. This whole time I was thinking, what's his problem, why isn't he responding to me? How foolish I'd been and how blind to not see that this whole time you were responding. I've just never been shown that side of emotional connection and the whole thing took me by surprise and my shallow insecure way of pusing away any hopes of happiness lead me to believe that you weren't hearing me call, little did I know you were drowning in my ocean of noise.
"In an ocean of noise,
I first heard your voice,
Ringing like a bell,
As if I had a choice, oh well!
Left in the morning
While you were fast asleep,
Into an ocean of violence,
A world of empty streets.
You've got your reasons,
And me I've got mine,
But all the reasons I gave
Were just lies to buy myself some time.
In an ocean of noise,
I first heard your voice,
Now who here among us
Still believes in choice?
—Not I!
No way of knowing
What any man will do,
An ocean of violence
Between me and you.
You've got your reasons,
And me I've got mine,
But all the reasons I gave
Were just lies to buy myself some time.
I'm gonna work it out.
'Cause time won't work it out.
I'm gonna work it out.
'Cause time won't work it out for you.
I'm gonna work it on out."
I thought I loved you. For a year this burning inside was a small flicker of a flame and it kept growing. It burned yellow with happiness to know you, it burned green with jealousy, seeing you "ignore" me persistantness and trade it for the hollow beings that surrounded you. It burned blue for the many times I cried and the times I felt near ill at the thought of losing you, when in reality I never had you. It burned red with anger. Anger I felt toward you, I wanted to hate you. I wished I could hate you, cause if I hated you, then I couldn't possibly love you. It burned purple with the thought that what I was entering was dangerous. With your melancholy mystique, this was truly a danger and how rebellous I was being for rubbing against something so threateningly dark. It burned black with the woe of the unknown. Not knowing whether to persist or to retreat. Surrender the war, or simply give up the battle. Black for the renowned notion that the waters ahead were going to be deep and rough and merky yet my floatation device heart would be strong enough to get me to shore.
And now, it glows orange. Not just any ole orange, though. The orange of morning when the sun begins to light the world and the birds begin to chirp. Orange as the August sky, softly decending into eve. Orange as the neon lights of the bible on McClean Ave. Orange, the soft glow of assurance brought forth by a fire in the bleak of winter, burning warmingly in the hearth. Orange, the color vivid revelations of a future in each other.
Your addicited. I know. You have many. But what I've come to find is that I do as well. If not illegal, it should be. I get addicted to people. Sure they aren't as severe as some addictions, but nonetheless all damaging in their own ways. I drift from one crush to the next like frogs on lilly pads. This unstable roller coaster of emotion I'm so addicited too is far more deathening than one might percieve. But now I'm addicited to you. There sould be a support group for someone like me. I can't make you stop. I need you like a fend needs speed. I need you like a fish water. And I'm not so sure that's very healthy. But I find solice in the prose you speak about a burning, maybe not an addicition, but definately a plaque of some kind, toward me. Better to go down with one whom you have cared for long before you knew it, than to go alone, or even worse, I think, to go down alone, without ever telling the other what you think they should know. Because they don't. Word of advice to all, tell the people you care about whether it be a friend, a family member, an already established lover, or especially, a secret love, how you feel. They might feel the same. And I'm glad you do. How uneasy I felt thinking my life would be just a cover to keep you close and not ever telling you to one day have you gone. At least now, you know.
"Now I shout it from the highest hills, even told the golden daffodiles, at last my hearts an open door, and my secret love's no secret anymore."
You need help, I will help you. Like you've helped me.
"And when you look in my eyes, please know, my heart is in your hands, it's nothing that I understand, but when in your arms, you have complete power over me, so be gentle if you please cause your hands are in my hair but my heart is in your teeth baby and it makes me want to make you near me always."
As promised, I will stay home, write you letters and bake pies. So go soldier boy, go fight your battles, go win your wars, when you return, I'll be here. Still waiting for you.
I'll hold you hand each step of the way, but know, that while you fight your demons, I too, have some to be slayed. We'll stake our vamps together. And in the end, we'll be together. Loving each other. The way that we want. The way we were intended too. The way we were on wednesday. You're beautiful. More beauty lies in you than any I've seen in one sole person. Your beauty is both inner and outer. And though most see your outer, I'm honored and glad to be able to have seen and known, and see and know, your inner. And I'm not scared. I'll be strong for you. Like an Amazon, right Jenn?
"I've been asleep for a while now
You tuck me in just like a child now
Cause every time you hold me in your arms
I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth
It starts in my soul
And I lose all control
When you kiss my nose
The feelin shows
Cause you make me smile baby
Just take your time now
Holdin' me tight"
For those of you who know what's going on after reading that most dramatic soap opera-like thing, that's what's going on. For those that don't get it, just think of it as poetry and accept it and move on. No further questions. Thanks.
