*sound of Gavel being banged*

Hear ye, hear ye. Lynn's rant session has now come to order!!

Okay, so. I love Dave. Really I do. And yes, I've fucked up before (on multiple occasions) and I have indeed apologized and cried and done all that. I feel honest regret and shame.

However, I'm getting sick of his passive aggressive bullshit (hereto noted as PAB).

Example 1: Earlier in the day we were watching this movie where the husband lied to the wife about an affair he was having, when it became obvious what was going on he STILL lied to her (to try and protect what he had OBVIOUSLY). It was at this point that I said "wow, what an asshole!" Dave piped up and in the most sarcastic, PAB voice said "oh yeah, what an asshole, he only lied to her again and again" Refering to my past infringments on the whole trust deal. Jerk.

Example 2: Later in the same day we were driving along playing a car game. If you see a car with one headlight you tap the roof and say "SEX" and you get one point. You see someone with one tail light out you tap the roof and say "ANAL SEX" and get two points. Well Dave was being silly and making up new rules that I didn't know were fake when I said, jokeingly " God i can't even tell when your bullshitting me anymore" and I laughed. He knew it was a joke but decided to counter with "yeah now you know how I feel". What. The. Fuck. So I went quiet whereas before I was singing and laughing. Eventually he asked me why. I just stayed quiet. Those of you who know me must be wondering what the hell is up with that. Why would I go quiet when usually I'd be on top of that shit. The answer? I felt I deserved it. At the time. Note: I felt I deserved it at the time. To continue; I stayed quiet. "Was it something I said?" asked Dave. "yeah" I said in return. "I'm sorry" 

"It's fine, I deserve it"

"Probably not"

"Dave, I deserve it"
We left it at that becuase I was all sad and quiet.
 

Now, let me set something straight here. I have been beating myself up for weeks over this. Whenever I think about how I've hurt him and lost his trust I mentally and emotionally beat myself up. My self worth has taken a hit over this. However, I can't let myself be bowled over by his PAB. Its not cool and it certainly isn't who I am. He has told me he wants me to fight back, to argue and push him. He seems to think that just becuase I'd rather avoid a fight than get into one means I dont let him get to know me. Ok, yes he has a point but WHAT THE FUCK. PAB IS NOT THE WAY TO GET ME TO OPEN THE FUCK UP.

*steam comes out of Lynn's ears*

I love him. I do. But this will not stand.

Rant over. Fuck spell check I'm going for a smoke.

How to begin? There really isn't anything to tell. Just a few things are happening here and there. I've got a tough decision to make though so maybe I'll ramble on about that for a while.

I desperatly want to go back to school. I miss learning already. There are times when I honestly believe I could be a 'full time student'. The only thing holding me back is money, go figure. We all hear people telling us to "Follow your dreams" and "Be who you want to be no matter what", what they forget to tell us is that you can do all these things...if you have the money. Why is it that in order to become who you are you have to be willing to accept the price tag? And when you do decide to do something all the people who told you to go for it are suddenly telling you that you can't becuase of 'this' and 'that' and 'the next thing'. Its sad really. It's also the biggest deterant for doing...well anything.

I have a few options open to me right now if I want to go back to school. The only problem is two of the three options are phantom ideas. So really I should suck it up and be honest with myself. If I want to go back to school I'm going to have to move back to Prince George. My heart cringes away at the thought. However if I do go back to Prince George I wouldn't have to pay rent as I would be living in my mothers basement (now my independence is flinching away. I love living by myself and the freedom it allows me) and I wouldn't have to pay for food. Excellent idea yes? Yes it is. Even though every fiber of my being is screaming at me to say "no"...I can't argue the logistics of it. It is the economically sound decision. The only reason I havn't said "no" outright is BECAUSE it is the best choice.

However...I don't want to go back. To me this move would signify a reversal of sorts. I would be going back to a place that, in my mind, is dark and lonely. Full of scowling faces and angry sneers. I love the city. I love the people, the things to do, I even love the damned look of the place. Lights and sounds, people milling about doing their own thing and letting me be. Just be.

On the other hand...I really want to get a higher education. I love what I learned in Blanche but I don't feel it challenged me enough mentally. I want to feel...like I've loosened my mind a little. Like I've stretched it like a muscle and...well used it.

SIde note: I'm high now. I figured being high and writing the letters deserve a different colour. Just in case I go off on random tangents...well this is why. Go me!

I'm sitting at John and Wendy's house, in the computer room. I've been fed, I get to do my laundry, and I'm high. There's only one thing that's pissing me off.

The fucking sticky shift key. I'ts messing me up so bad. It actually has a little delay...so now whenever I push down on it the key takes a second to actually click. *grr*

However; I feel at home here. That statement in and of itself is very telling and brings an oh-too-cliche feeling of warmth in my chest, heart area of course. Either that or I'm having a heart attack thought I completley doubt that. 

John and Wendy are wonderful people. They've been nothing but kind to me and have done they're best to make me feel comfortable and at home. John isn't technically a relative. He's my sister's father. But I've known him for so long that he IS family. I remember him running around with James, Lex, and I playing. He bought presents for us and took us sledding one winter. I remember sometimes wishing he were my father. Wendy is one of the kindest, honest people I know. She's a geneuinly happy person, whom I've grown to love. 
Wonderful people all around. 

Enough of the sappy crap though. 

I don't know when this turned into an email to you. I guess a while ago.  I know you wont mind. 

I got tired of blue. 

One of my room mates Nate really likes me. He's open about it too, we've had talks and can honestly say we understand one another. Not in the goopy-heart-sick-love kinda way but in the I-can-see-exactly-where-your-coming-from kinda way. I know he cares about me a great deal and he knows I'm not ready or willing to do anything serious. I've got to kick back and find who Lynn is again. Time for another discovery of sorts. 

Back to Nate though. He's a sweet guy who I comunicate with very well. One of those guys you should obviously date because it would be a great working relationship. But you know me babe, I always have to question and debate. Do I really want that right now? Why wouldn't I want that right now? I dunno but I don't want that right now. Probably becuase of my pure stubborness to actually date a good guy right now. I want to date someone who wont matter. Ouch. Lynn is a bitch. 

Okay away from Nate now, lets talk about Matt #1. This time its room mate Matt. Welcome to the table room mate Matt, we're here to discuss your poorly veiled feeling for Lynn. Alough despite his "less-than-obvious" feelings for me, he's actually a really cool guy. Funny, not bad looking, and nice. Oh he can be an asshole, but he can also be very kind. This morning I was outside waiting for John to pick me up, when out comes Matt holding two cups of hot mocha. "Mocha?" is what he said as he handed it to me, then sat with me and chatted while waiting. It was cool and sweet in a very unobtrusive way. It was...hell it seemed natural. Maybe I'll see if we can make it a morning tradition. 

Thanks for coming Matt #1 but we've got to switch over now to Matt #2. Have a safe trip leaving crazy Lynn's head, watch out for those rabbid squirelle/monkey/bat things. Crazy little buggers. 

Matt #2 welcome, welcome. Have a seat. Water? No, okay. Lets begin shall we? Matt, is it true you've told Nate you have feelings for Lynn? Yes, alright that's cool, that's cool. Is it true your kind of an ass? Mhmmm well that's not what Lynn thinks. Yes I think Matt #2 is kind of an ass. Funny, hot, IN A BAND *drool*, but kind of an ass. So the question is...does Lynn really give a damn? Nope not really. So what's stoping Lynn? Noooo idea. We've had sex and it wasn't bad but...its hard trying to get used to a new person after 6 months. Am I good enough still? O.o

I think I'm going to leave you with that and go outside and enjoy the sun. Grab some more tea, a smoke and away I go. 

Love you.
Miss you. 
Email me back. 

-wummer-   

ps. Fuck spell check.

Savvy's thoughts

  • Mar. 20th, 2009 at 10:47 PM

What is it about The Night? The Night is an enigma; letting evil arise. When the sun falls the world’s fears and doubts prevail. They rise from the depths of the mind like zombies pushing forth through their own graves. A rank stench accompanies these rotten corpses while they drip sweat and evil. It beads on their skin, dropping like virgin tears that splatter on the ground. The black sludge droplets stain the earth where they touch, forever marring its surface, green grass will become a sickly mush and pavement will be eaten away as though licked by acid.

 The embodiment of fear screeches at you like a banshee of old, baring sharpened nails and numbing your mind with its terrible cries; making you powerless to feel anything but terror. What is it about the night that lets your imagination wander into the obsidian depths of hell and see your own personal demons? Is the absence of light so powerful? Or does our own fright give it more strength? The light shows us the boundaries of the world; the walls that keep us from seeing the impossible, all the while shrouding the unimaginable in shadow. Without light the shadows expand and encompass all, threatening us with their ever conquering territories.

You can’t hide from the night. It will get you eventually, and when it does most will be unprepared. Fear’s sticky fingers will stab out from the shadows and pierce your mind, body and soul. It will implant visions of death and blood so deeply into your consciousness you wont be able to move. Frozen in place you won’t be able to do a thing when finally, they come for you. The Du’ath N’athams, Death’s Children.

All I want tonight is to be held. To have strong arms wrapped around me making me feel better, safer. Its sad and pathetic I know, but some nights I just need to be held, cuddled. If for no other reason than that I'm close to tears. I think what frustrates me the most is that I'm so close to crying my eyes out for some inexplicable reason. The fact that I'm alone tonight just compounds on that and makes everything seem a lot worse than it actually is. I know this. I can see and understand the logic behind it all, but that doesn't stop me from feeling things.

I don't like being irrational when it comes to my own emotions. I can let others run wild with theirs, ranting and screaming at me in order to vent, but I have problems letting myself do that. I guess it stems from my childhood lessons that emotions are weakness, and you never wanted someone to know your weaknesses. So while I can identify my emotions and why I'm feeling the way I'm feeling, I still hold back on giving into them.

I don't want people to think I can't handle myself. I'm an intelligent human being whose mature for my age. Hell most people my age piss me off...but some nights...some nights I just need to be a teenage girl looking for something more and not finding it. A teenage girl who knows what she wants while remaining completely oblivious to what she needs. A girl who needs a hug from someone who loves her, and finds silence from people who do
n't.

I'm not sure what I need right now, besides a hug and perhaps this last smoke...



I'm tired of telling myself I'm good enough and having it refuted each time. I'm exhausted from trying to explain myself to people who, really, shouldn't need any explanation on my personality.


I guess I'm tired of being surrounded by people, yet so incredibly isolated.






I am such a fucking emo. *smacks forehead with palm*

Fuck that shit

  • Feb. 15th, 2009 at 7:38 PM

There are times when I think I'm fucked. Just plain fucked.

I mean, what is wrong with me?

I try to spend as little time in my own head as possible just because I know if I stay too long
I'll get lost. I'll wonder around the tall oak trees of past issues, prance in the fields of my 'humor' and swim in the river of possibilities. And all the while never I'll just float through my days, never really present or aware. 

And then there are days when I'm everywhere at once.


I just don't understand.

I like myself. But sometimes I scare myself too.

Is that odd?

Of course it is.

So bored....so tired

  • Feb. 12th, 2009 at 11:20 PM

What can be more exciting then letting yourself free? Then letting your fingers fly across the board, whizzing past each other in a strange dance routien.

I'm so hopeful for Victoria. There are so many possibilities. I hope living with everyone is going to go well. I've lived in a house with...8 people before, so I know what can go wrong. I just hope everyone is able to be mature about pointless drama (between girlfriends/boyfriends/friends/whatever) and just talk it over rather than freak out. This has happened to me before, where some people were really easy to live with while others caused a horrible amount of drama. My brothers ex-girlfriend was a fucking psycho. I couldn't talk to her, couldn't reason with her and one day she attacked me.

Anyways the point of that little rant is that I hope everyone can get along.

I remember feeling so small, so very small and frightened. CLANG! I started at the sound of metal thunder as a streak of light blew across my face. The light accompanied with the loud sound caused me to cry. What was going on? CRASH! I was shook again, where was everyone? When I looked up to try and find someone I saw my parents. At least they're bodies looked normal, although full of tension. I was confused when I couldn't recognize their faces so contorted with hate they were. Another streak of light shot past me, soon followed with another sharp BANG! 
Bowels. Metal Bowels.
I realized then that my mother was throwing metal bowls at my father. Each screaming at the other.
It was then I started to bawl.

Welcome to my first memory.




Dreams

  • Feb. 12th, 2009 at 5:02 PM

I dreamt again last night. I dreamt of your deaths.

Mother, you were strangled with barb wire. It hugged your neck as your blue scarf once did. But unlike the silken scarf this one cut into you, leaving deep gashes showing you had struggled. The blood dripped down your neck, almost like red tassels on a throw pillow. A terrible parody of beauty.

Grandma, you were pushed down your stairs, left to rot. Oddly merciful of the demons come to prey on you.

James. My brother you probably had the worst death of them all. They had taken razor blades and run them along your body, dipped you in acid and lemon juice and listened to you scream, then
your throat had been slashed so deeply it hung by nothing more than skin. They tied your arms to your body with barbed wire and rope, taken your head and pushed it so the back of it touched the top if your spine, they bound it there with rope. They hung you upside down from the staircase of our old, beloved home and left a rusted bucket beneath you. Your blood just dripped into it. A drop in an ocean.


James always dies in the same way....


Oh god

  • Feb. 11th, 2009 at 5:08 PM

I'm so hurt.
I don't know if you're hurting me or if I'm hurting myself.

You wont have time for me when you leave. That's understandable what with work and all, but you make is sound as though everything is ending. You told me you loved me, and I being foolish in my desperation, believed it. I believed it so much I even let myself go and loved you back.

I love you, still.
I don't know if you love me still.

and it breaks my heart a little more everyday.

I don't want to be without you, but I see the end coming. And there is nothing I can do about it.

I'm pathetic and a fool.
What was I thinking letting you in?

Ah, yes. I remember now.
I love you.

*sigh*

I'm fucked.

I'm excited to see him.
Is that pathetic?

Dec. 26th, 2008

  • 3:44 PM

I'm not even really sure how to start. It's almost been a week since I found out about Dave cheating on me. It's no longer a stabbing pain through the pit of my being, but rather it's progressed to a dull, acheing throb. It's a constant reminder that I'm not good enough for one person who I wanted to be good for. He said so many things that day that made me believe, want to believe, he really regretteded it. That he felt truly sorry. Then Merrina talked to him and he said some things then as well and sounded regretfull.
I can't help but think how it will have been two weeks since hes seen me, two weeks since hes cheated on me and two weeks to think about it. A lot can change in two weeks. Does he still want to be with me or has he decided this is for the best? To cut his loses and try to find something better for himself.

I always knew he would hurt me. Even when we were in Tofino and he was so good at pretending we were together, I knew. I remember telling him that he was 'that guy that pretendes'. I didn't  think I was so right. Then when we got together and things started getting serious I knew, I fucking knew it would be him that would hurt me. I wouldn't be able to hurt him. I guess in the grand pattern of things it's my turn to be hurt. I hurt Tam and now I have to pay the price.

Even though this has all gone down and has left me feeling inadequate I can't help but hope he stays. I want him to stay. Which is of course pathetic and not at all normal Lynn conduct. So I figure that while I can FEEL these ways, that doesn't mean he has to know I feel them. I'll be strong and confident when I talk to him. Cold and distant until he makes me feel otherwise.

I think I love him. But I hate him.
wait...love is way to strong
I...really like him. There we go.

Musings to self.

  • Dec. 20th, 2008 at 4:11 PM


He cheated on me.
*how do you feel now?*
betreyed, hurt, wounded
*how does he feel?*
bad, i think
*you think?*
well I assume so, he seems to regret it.
*what do you want to do now?*
I dont know
*do you want to stay with him, or break up?*
he makes me happy, well...usually.
*do you want to stay with him, or break up?*
I want to stay with him
*can you forgive him?*
I think so, but I can't let him off easy. He needs to know he went too far.
*yes he has*
he was drunk
*ahhh, so have you factored that in?*
yes. He also told me right away and said he was sorry reapetedly
*and how do you feel about that?*
sorry isnt some magical word that makes everything better. actions do.
*do you feel he deserves another chance?*
...I want to give him another chance. I want to trust him and I want to be happy
*will he do it again*
I hope not
*you HOPE not?*
yeah...
*what about when he's drunk again, and your not there?*
oh god I dont know...I dont know.
*what about over break when he's surrounded by people, girls, wanting him? to get him drunk?*
why are your questions so hard?
*becuase they need to be*
yeah I guess they do
*does he care about you?*
I thought so, he said he was happiest when with me
*do you think thats true given the facts?*
I have to weigh past and present. In the past he's shown he cares about me, maybe that he's afriad to, but he has shown it.
*does one fuck up negate all previous happiness?*
no
*is it fair to end things that have gone freakishly well for one fuck up?*
no
*then you've already decided haven't you?*
yes
*what are you going to do?*
I'm going to tell him the truth
*which is*
that I care too much about him to end things over a drunken mistake. that everyone messes up. that I know he likes to push people to see how far they will go, that even though I know that isn't the case here, or at least I hope so, that he can't use me. social expiriment or otherwise.
*you just got off the phone with him*
yeah
*how'd it go?*
good. I told him everything I wanted to tell him
*and?*
he said it made him happy that i didn't want to end it, that he was worried he was going to lose me and that I would look at him differently and that he was worried it would change things. that he felt like shit and he was sorry
*and what did you say?*
that all my life shiney pretty words had been dangled in front of my face and that sorry wasn't some magical word that made things better, actions do. actions speak louder than words.
*and waht did he say to that?*
that he cares about me, he's put more time into us than anyone else
*and what did you say*
I said he needs to figure out how to make it better. he asked me how and I told him that was something he needed to figure out. that he needed to show me he cares
*and?*
then he said "havn't I shown you in the past that i care?. "yes"-I said- "but with this new development...." 
*ahh good one*
yeah. he told me he had never meant to hurt me, that i was a line he had never wanted to cross.
*hmm*



I hope I've done the right thing. 

Midnight ponderings

  • Dec. 8th, 2008 at 1:45 AM

December, 8, 2008. Monday 12:45am

It’s the sound of the keys clicking away beneath my fingers. The sight of letters appearing on the screen as I think them, almost as if there is a little gnome behind it who already knows what I’m thinking and puts it in front of me. Do my fingers even move? They must be because I can feel the weight of my laptop shift as each finger presses down, as my wrist moves into different positions. Clickity Clickity Clack.

I’m not a writer. I pretend to be a writer to satisfy my pathological need to be heard. I want people to take notice of me, and the only way I can satisfy that is to write. Sure I have friends who think I’ve somehow fit the bill of “cool” but honestly I don’t care. I was happy being a nerd before I moved to Vancouver and I’m happy to be one now. I’m glad I’ve found people who like me for who I am though. It pleases me to know this.

My fingers slow down as I try to think of how to describe how I’m feeling, subsequently the little Gnome has slowed down as well; neither of us know how to start.

I feel…pain. Not a physical pain but a emotional pain. The kind you try to run away from but can’t because its become a part of you, dwelling in your heart. It’s set up house, has window dressings and has hung it’s pictures on the wall and all you can do is try and ignore it. But how can you ignore something that lives so close to you? How can you ignore it when every time you see him you wonder. You wonder if he cares as much as you care, and the horribly irony of it is that your caring about the other person causes you so much pain. It’s the not knowing, the question that you can’t answer for someone else. Do you care? Did you ever care? Is this a game of crush-the-heart?

We came to a full stop there Mr. Gnome. What next?

The night holds my dreams hostage

  • Sep. 5th, 2008 at 12:09 AM

It's one of those nights. Those nights when I'm home alone, wanting only to be surrounded by people. I should be happy to be here alone. I know I should. Usually I am. Tonight is different though. I want someone to sleep next to. Maybe not to have sex with, I don't need to have sex all the time, but someone to lay with. Someone to hold me, kiss my shoulder when I wake up from yet another nightmare. Someone who cares enough to wake up, turn on a light and demand to know whats wrong. I want someone who will want to hear my dreams. The details of them.

In my dreams I walk into my old home. I open the red door and turn into the living room. It's then I notice my brother. He is just an empty carcass. All his love and life gone from him. He hangs from the upstairs banister, swinging above the stairs. In a cruel parody of suicide he hangs upside down, his throat slashed open so wide the back of his head touches in between his shoulder blades. His arms are tied to his sides. No fighting. An old rusted bucket is below him, catching the blood that slowly drips.

Drip

Drip

Drip

As I tear myself away from the horror in front of me I see a trail of blood. It leads to the kitchen
refrigerator. There is a pool of blood at the base. So much blood. My hand shakes as I open the door. There, inside, is my mother. She's been cut into pieces to fit the shelves of the fridge. Her head and shoulders are on the top shelf. The next down houses her torso, then her abdomen down to her womanhood. Her legs are stuffed into the door shelves along with her arms. Fingers were broken trying to close the door. Her feet. Where are her feet? In the crisper. A cruel joke.


I wake at this point. I have the same dream every time. And every time there is nothing I can do. I just have the 'privilege' of walking into my sanctuary and seeing the people I love dead.


Where are the dogs?



They've been cut in half. Each matching end sewed together. Asses and Heads.



Blood is all over the walls. Words written in my families life blood



Come Find Us Lynn



Aug. 29th, 2008

  • 6:37 PM

I was surprised at how well my day went today. Work wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, almost as if the universe knew I needed a chill day.

Last night was really hard. I was fine until I tried to fall asleep, then for some reason I just..couldn't. I kept waking up feeling restless, like something was very wrong only I couldn't pin my finger on it. I went out into the livingroom and found my room mate awake. I must have looked worse than I thought because he asked me right away if I was okay. I sat down, and we talked. We talked until 4:20 in the morning about all my shit. Mostly about my dad. I cried but felt better after.

It was a good bad thing. Sometimes you have to have a bad night to really appreciate the good nights.

But I'm going out tonight to let myself know that while there must be bad nights there must also be good nights. Nights that remind you of why living and loving life is worth it.

I am claiming tonight.



oh dear

  • Aug. 27th, 2008 at 1:01 AM

Just  flipping through some old entries.

1) My first date never happened with Tam. It was more of a hang out. I had my first with Eli over webcam. That was more a date than anthing else.
2) Caine became my stalker so I had to ignore him. Thank god he's gone now. He was really starting to scare me.

3) I sound like an idiot.
