Sometimes, I think I see too much.
I realize too much about a person, in one conversation.
I can look past the barriers they put up, look beyond the lies they tell to hide their true feelings, everyone does it, even I do, more than most actually, I rarely speak my true feelings, I fear if I did, I would not have many, no, scratch that, any friends. Why?
Because I am constantly observing the people I know, analyzing them, postulating as to why they are saying this or doing that, what are their motives, the intentions of their actions.
There is so much I keep to myself, for fear of upsetting friends that I believe it is to their detriment at times, perhaps if I exposed their illusions, help to tear down the walls, it would help them, it would be carthatic to see that at least one person has some idea, some notion of what they are experiencing, perhaps I cannot sympathize but at least, I could aide in the process of casting aside these delusions of strength. The way people embrace their identities, hold onto it like it is their lifeline, I do not believe this is nessecarily a healthy thing, because an identity is a mutuable thing, it can change day to day, hour to hour even, and to base your opinion of yourself on something so fragile, it seems silly once you consider it.
Do not get me wrong, I am no better and no worse than anyone else, I am subject to this weakness as well, it is part of the human psychological condition. Despite what people tell me, I can find fault in their opinions.
People tell me I'm pretty, I convince myself they do it because they are my friends and do not want to hurt my feelings.
People tell me I am skinny, I say to myself it is because they cannot see all my faults.
People tell me I am intelligent, when at times, I feel like I am a pseudo intellectual posuer, who collects random facts and spouts them out with inpeccable timing to make myself seem intelligent.
I get upset when I criticize myself and no one tries to dissuade my opinion or argues with me.
Seemingly innocous comments can strike at my emotional core and evoke sadness, even rage within me that no one can even see because my outer exterior never changes, I cannot even calculate how many times I have choked back these feelings, in the vain attempt to hold onto my identity, of myself being this cold, aloof, practically untouchable girl, who has no interest in people and is perfectly content with spending the rest of her life alone, but in reality, watches enviously as others seem to be so happy with their relationships, and feeling a certain sort of smug pride when I turn out to be right, that pursuing emotional relationships with anyone is a waste of time and energy, that in the end, it will only lead to misery, to open yourself up like that, in that way, is incomprehensible to me, it always has been, just as crying, in any context, conjures up feelings of self disgust in me, as it makes me realize that I cannot be this indifferent ideal of myself, apathy is easy, that is why it is so prevalent, it takes energy to care about others, to become emotionally involved, anyone who does it, gets fucked over, and yet still continues on with this kind of dreamy eyed, romantic optimism, are probably much stronger than I will ever be and I appluad them for either being too strong to let themselves be dragged down by cynicism or pessimism, or for being too stupid to know any better.
There, I have said my peace, I did not write this long winded, analytical post for comments, I wrote it as a mini catharsis, I do not feel any better for writing it, I feel no relief for getting it off my chest, and I have no concern for what others think of me after reading it. In saying this though, by no means hold back if you want to comment, I will honestly be surprised if anyone takes the time to read it. That's just my opinion though, I could be wrong...

I finally purchased my plane tickets so, come Hell or high water, I will be in California the last week of May, so all who are interested take note...bloody ticket cost my nearly $500...you people had better make sure I have a damn good time! *Shakes fist*
I also bought Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children on Tuesday, the very day it was released officially on US shores. A friend of mine back in FL burned a copy for me months ago, but Luci's computer decided to be insubordinate and not play it, ah well, I cannot wait to find the time to sit down and watch it, it looks like a masterpiece, I do love myself some FF7. <3
And finally, I was able to buy the Lip Service Gangsta Pranksta short dress that I have been lusting after for months, for a more affordable price than I imagined, odd, it usually seems to be the opposite for me. Ah well, I need it, I had to sell most of my old clubby clothing in order to pay rent and you know...live...plus, it was all too big for me anyways. *Sighs, looking at depleted wardrobe* Great, now you've gone and depressed me, my shallow, materialistic side weeps silently. ~_^

That's right, it is official, I am going to be in the great state of California from May 22-29, a whole week. I requested the time off, I plan to buy my plane ticket in the next week, so huzzah.
So, if any of your crazy kids wants to see me or hang out with me, best let me know now before my schedule fills up, I am in high demand, I am a commodity, heh, my time is valuable. ~_^

So, I went to order a few shirts off HotTopic.com, of course, after I stopped working there they end up getting an American Psycho girl's tee and an awesome skeleton ribcage tee, it is the Misfits, I am not a big fan but I love the design on the shirt, I can always cover up the logo, if I even bother.
Than I go to confirm the order and lo and behold, my employee discount is still in effect! Now, I have not worked there for nearly two months, nor have I shopped there since that time, I just cannot believe how inept they are, it is truly mind boggling!
I hope they do not catch this little snafu before they send out my order, afterall, I do not believe they are justified cancelling the order or adjusting it even if they do notice their mistake, I will surely raise a bit of hell over the issue, I no longer work there, thusly, they actually have to pretend to care about my needs and desires, and I do not have to be polite, though I probably will be, I believe in diplomacy before making an arse of myself. I suppose we shall see what happens, just thought I would point that out to the many HotTopic haters out there. ~_^
