What to call this madness...
Monday night after I stopped writting Jim wanted to go to sleep. He asked if he could call me, and I said no because Christi was sleeping. Usually that only means the dorm room phone. I thought he would know that by now. He signed off of AIM and I waited for him to call my cell phone until 2AM. After I realized it was not going to happen I sent him a text saying that I had waited up for him and was now going to sleep.
Tuesday morning I woke up to the phone. It was Jim. I picked it up and more on the angry/upset side said hello. He was all happy and cheerful and "GOOD MORNING BUBBY!" I was not in a cheerful mood because I had not slept well AT ALL because I didn't get to hear him tell me he loves me before I went to bed. And I expressed those feelings. But neither of us really had time to fight, I had to go to class, and he had to walk into work. I said "I can't do this with you right now" because we had to go to class and work and the response I got was a mean "FINE!"...At this point I feel as though I am going to self destruct so I screamed at him "I LOVE YOU TOO! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY YOU BIG JERK!"...Yea...Tuesday November 18th was mine and Jim's 1 year and 4 month anniversary. What a way to start it huh?!? I then hung up on him and walked into my building to go to the always fun Exceptional Child! I almost cried several times during the lecture, however my extreme frustration did fuel me to get a 9/10 on my quiz! After Exceptional Child I went back to my dorm room to go to sleep until Political Science like I always do, but this time it took FOREVER to get back to sleep. I woke up to a FREAKING out Christi, who was on the phone with a friend and was freaking out because she had apparently lost her Cal Card and was REFUSING to go to class without it. Oyy...She left and I just gave up on getting back to sleep, but stayed in bed. Jim called at lunch, and we talked for a bit, everything ended fine, but of course we only had all of 10 minutes to talk. Which sucked. I decided to just give up on everything to do with any form of concentration, layed in bed for a bit more, then gave up and got dressed. I walked to Political Science in the SNOW! I had noticed earlier that week that I had a 0/100 on an "in class assignment" which I knew I did and had remembered doing, so I DON'T THINK SO! I talked to the professor...Who is Spanish (or something!) and I feel like doesn't understand a DAMN thing I am saying. It's frustrating. But he got it enough to tell me that he will check into it RIGHT AFTER class, and I WILL get credit for it. Yea...It's now Sunday by the way...And that STILL has not happened. I sat through the rest of the class being bored as ever. After Political Science I knew I couldn't go to the barn, so I just got something to eat instead. I sat down and ate for the first time in what feels like forever. But NOT in my room! I saw Dri and Beej on my way out and we sat and talked. We sat in the Student Union from about 3 to about 6, because we both had a night class. I met up with Caitlyn outside and we walked to Math. I only had to sit and deal with THAT crap for about an hour. Then I had Choir Rehersal! It went really well, so well in fact that Dr Ikach said that he was canceling Choir on Wednesday, just be there in time for our concert! I went back to my room, played WoW and talked to Jim for a bit, and went to sleep. Wednesday Jim called to wake me at lunch, and I decided against it. I slept through Psyche and Choir (which was canceled anyway). But I got up for English! After English I was IM texting Jim like crazy, trying to figure out whether he wanted me down there or not. We were nervous about the weather. Sarah signed on and I asked her about the weather because her Dad actually drives to cal every day for work! She said everything was fine, so I told Jim that I was going to fight with the surely frozen Gracey mobile. Well my car ACTUALLY fired RIGHT up and we left. I got to 84 before Jim, and if he would have been 10 seconds later, he would have had a bubby-cicle. There was NOTHING at the movie theatre, and that's what we usually do, so we had to get creative. We decided to go to the North Park Clubhouse to eat dinner, because we hadn't been there forever, and that place's food is always SO good! As always, dinner was fantastic. After dinner we went to the pet store, that actually sells pets! PUPPIES! AND KITTIES! LOVE THEM! I got to be silly and want them ALL and I think Jim just had fun laughing at me. After the pet store we weren't sure what we were going to do, but Jim all of the sudden had an idea. He's wanted more RAM for his computer for a while now, and found some on EBay cheap, but wanted to look around and compare prices. We went to a buncha different office stores, and settled at Best Buy (which thank goodness has holiday hours so it's open later). Jim found an AWESOME deal on RAM and I found the new In This Moment CD and was picking on him. We decided to look around a bit more, and found Josh and Heather! They are EVERYWHERE! Hahaha. We bullshitted with them a lot in the store, and Heaher has the new In This Moment CD, so Jim won THAT battle. Jim and Josh played Rock Band for a while and it was really funny, I took a video and told them they had to show their boss. Even though there is Holiday Hours, Best Buy still closes eventually, and we got kicked out. Josh talked on his cell phone in the car to his girlfriend, and Heather Jim and I made faces at him, and mooned him, and drifted around his car picking on him. We had no idea what we were going to do when Josh got off of the phone, but for now we were having fun! Josh got off the phone, and reveiled that he had never really been to South Side! WHAT?!? So we decided to drop his car off and go on an adventure. We didn't really have any money, so we couldn't go to the hookah bar or anything, but we DID make un-official plans for NEXT Wednesday, for Hookah. After a bit of traveling, we decided to drop them off and get me back to 84. I had yet another safe trip home (and he was worried about the weather...psht!). When I got in we talked a bit more, and then went to bed.
Wednesday night/Thursday morning I guess...I had a night terror...So I texted Jim asking that if he was awake to PLEASE call me...He didn't...I had woken up at 3AM on the dot, and knew if I tried to sleep now, I was never waking up to an alarm, and I would sleep right through Exceptional Child...So I never went back to sleep...I got up and got dressed for Exceptional Child, and BARELY made it through. I was not feeling well at this point AT ALL and just wanted to go back to bed. So after class I did. And I slept till 4PM when Jim called. I had slept right through two other calls, and 3 text messages from different people. When I picked up the phone he asked if I was okay, and when I responded in a groggy tone he said "O MY GOD YOU ARE GOING TO BE SOOO PISSED! DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?!?" I explained to him that I had gotten up for Exceptional Child, then went back to sleep till just now. He kinda laughed at me, but then had to go back to work, so we got off the phone. I went and got something to eat, and came back to relaxe at my desk for a bit. I got an IM that I never thought I'd see again...Tom...After I got my heart to stop skipping beats I responded. We talked about a lot. And kinda started to fight. He called my dorm room and scared the hell out of me because I never would have thought he'd remember the number. We were getting pretty deep into conversation, when there was a knock at my door. I'll admit I was a little scared because it seems like every time Tom comes back around, so does the trouble. But it was just Kayla from next door, wanting to walk to the Choir Concert with me. SHIT! I had almost forgotten all about it. I picked the phone back up and explained to Tom that I had to go, but asked if we could talk later. He agreed, and we hung up. I threw on my dress code required black pants and shoes, and ran out with Kayla. The Choir Concert went great. I almost blew my solo REALLY bad because when I looked out into the crowd Brandon was there, but I saved it. The people in the crowd probably didn't even know it was wrong. It wasn't that bad I guess. After the concert I called Jim while walking back, and he seemed kind of angry when I mentioned that Brandon was there. I turned in my robe, and helped put away other people's robes, and then left to go back to my room. Campus was kinda madness, between people going to the premire of Twlight and leaving the Choir conert (we had a full house), so I wasn't really worried. I got back into my room and called Jim back. We played WoW for a bit, then got on AIM for a bit. Just in time too. At about midnight Sarah IM'ed me. Which, I love her, but anyone IM'ing at midnight usually is not good. I was right. Not good. Sarah and Cooper broke up on November 20, 2008. Technically 21st, their anniversary. For real this time. She wasn't even crying. Sarah, Jim, and I talked for a good while on Buddy Chat, assuring Sarah that no one hates her, and that it isn't her fault. Then we all had to go to bed.
Friday I woke up feeling pretty damn great because I knew that was the day that Jim was supposed to come and spend the weekend with me. Choir was canceled again, but I got up and went to Psyche. After Psyche I got to eat lunch before English for once! English went well, and I found a brand spanking new ipod touch just laying at my seat! It had a name engraved in the back, and a few things on it, but those could be EASILY deleted. I was seriously thinking about the $225 that thing is worth that I DON'T have...But I texted Jim to make sure there wasn't any sort of tracking system. I even talked about it to someone in the class, but made it seem casual. He said he didn't think so either. SO in my pocket it went! I didn't want it, I have my own little dinky ipod shuffle, I just wanted the money! When I got back into my room I started talking to Cassy and I also watched the episode of Grey's that I missed Thursday because of the Choir Concert. Waiting for Grey's to load I got an email from the owner of the ipod, so I agreed to meet her in front of the union at 6. I really wished I didn't have whatever's left of my concious. But I did give it back. She was extremely grateful, which made me feel good. I went back to my room and finished my episode of Grey's. It was only a few hours until Jim was supposed to get here so naturally I was bounching off of the walls! Yea...That's all well and good till Jim texts me and says that he can't come because of "you know who you know why" and that he's sorry and doesn't want to talk about it. No offense babe but at that point I don't care if you want to talk about it or not! So I called. We talked for a bit, but I kept being passed between him and his Dad because they were still at bowling. He said we'd talk later and we hung up. I wanted to explode. I decided to check all of my mail sources instead. When I signed on Facebook Michelle DOUCHE BAG sent me a message freaking out about how she can't see Mike and she's on accademic probation and whine whine whine bitch bitch bitch. I DON'T CARE BITCH! I'm sorry but I really don't feel like listening to you bitch about how you can't see MY ex-boyfriend. I don't want to be your friend. It's great that we can be civil. But I hate you. I didn't say that, because that would lead to being un-civil again but I said that it's not snowing, and that I am not in the mood, and that I do not care. I proceeded to check my stuff and she said 'Well what the fuck is YOUR problem?!?"...I signed off...I decided maybe a way too hot shower would calm my nerves, and went to try it. As soon as I got in the water, the phone went off. Great! I answered without looking with a rather mean "WHAT?!?" It was Mike, my ex, and now trying to be friend, asking where I was that it wasn't snowing. I told him that it was no longer snowing here, and I knew Jim had said that it wasn't snowing there either. Mike said that it was snowing at his house, which I responded to with another obviously angry "I don't care"...He got the hint said talk to you later and we hung up. I got back in the shower. And did WAAYY too much thinking. When I got out of the shower and mostly dressed, I called Mike back. And went OFF! Asking where the fuck this I have to be in Pgh EVERY weekend BULLSHIT came from and how if it snowed when WE were together I didn't get SHIT and it told him about Michelle and my conversation and how she's too needy for a long distance relationship and overall WHAT THE FUCK IS HE THINKING?!? He sat in pretty much silence the entire time I was venting and when I stopped he asked if I was done...I said a defeated sounding yes...And he said he was going to call my dorm room phone. He hung up on me. And sure as shit, the dorm room phone rang about 2 minutes later and it was him. I talked to my ex boyfriend who I swore I would hate forever for about 3 hours on Friday night. We even talked about going to the strip club together. He has never been to one. And he was really genuienly trying to cheer me up. We talked a lot about Michelle. And our past. And how he doesn't want to be with Michelle anymore, how he's only staying with her because he's afraid that his dog will just "run away" because it's with her. How he's just waiting for one more big fight to totally end it. And we talked about who he wants to be with, a girl I knew he wanted to be with even during our relationship. Vera. She is beautiful. And everything he wants and needs. And she would take care of him so everyone else would be happy. We seriously considered meeting at the strip club for a LONG time, but I knew I probably wouldn't be much fun to be around, so I blammed the weather and said we shouldn't go out. A while later, his other phone rang, and he told me he had to go and call Michelle to tell her that the weather was too bad and he was turning around. He had never left the couch. What's that tell you...I told him that this was pretty much goodnight, talk to her, go to sleep, etc. We said goodnight and hung up. I just sat at this desk and stared into space for a while. Then AIM went off telling me I had a new IM from Jim. He had made it home. I asked if he wanted to talk to me now and he said yea, but then never said anything, so I brought up conversation. He said tommarow bright and early he was going to move the stuff in the basement like they wanted, then would be on his way. We debated on holding a protest and not sleeping until it could be next to each other, but he passed out on me at rapid speed, so I reluctantley told him just to go to sleep. He called and we said our I love you's, and he went to sleep. I stayed up for a while, just sitting at my desk reading "Eclipse" (Twilight loser)...
It's Saturday by now...And I got another IM from Tom...He had just gotten home, he was in a car accident. I kinda panicked. So he turned on his webcam on AIM so that I could see he was okay. We had a little video chat. I don't have a webcam, so he could only HEAR me, but I could only SEE him but not hear him...It was weird...We talked about a lot...Lots of painful stuff...Then all of the sudden I could hear him! It was weird hearing and seeing him...And he kept eye contact with the webcam (and therefore me) the entire time. It was like he was here. It was like my best friend was back. The only OLD best friend I feel like I have left. It was bitter sweet. I'm not sure I can trust him to never leave me again...But I can try until he does...We ended up talking with absolutley NO sense of the time...That worked until about 7:30 in the morning, because the sun had come up. We just laughed, but decided sleep was probably in our best interest. And I knew it was only a few hours till Jim would get here, and didn't want to be total walking dead...So I curled up in my bed and knew for the first time without Jim that I was going to sleep...And I did! Until 4:30! O MY GOD! I shot up out of bed and thought for sure Jim had already called and been sitting in the parking lot for hours. But when I looked at the phone, there was no call. This made me even MORE worried though. Where was he?!? I called. No answer. Freak out some more. Bathroom. Get dressed. Phone rings. YES! It was Jim. He was only in Heidleberg! And he. was. PISSED! Great...But he was on his way so...He got here and I just got in the car so we could go and get something to eat. He seemed a little on the edge, but was trying, so I tried too. It worked till we talked about which McDonalds to go to. I brought up the one by Sheetz so we could see if Twlight was playing in the movie theatre by there. Good. Grand. Swell. Ok. To that McDonalds. The movie theatre close to there wasn't playing Twlight (what the hell...!) but we went to that McDonalds anyway. We had cupons. So we got a lot of food. He asked if I would want something to drink, and where the closest liquor store was. I forgot TOTALLY about the little hole in the wall one in Cal. I called Kim to ask her. But no answer. He said forget about that, what did I want to do. I said Twlight. I thought maybe I could remember where the other theatre was, in Uniontown. Kim called back and reminded me of the one in Cal, I said thanks bleh bleh bleh, and Jim turned around! Umm...Hun...Where ya goin?!? I thought we were goin to the movies?!? That's when the sudden freaking out started! He had forgotten and I said just forget it that's fine. And he freaked out saying he hates when I do that and stuff. Bleh bleh bleh. He asked what I wanted to do again, and I said just go home. We talked more about the liquor store. But when we got to Cal he went straight onto campus...Okayyy...I asked him about it and there was more freaking out about "WHAT DO YOU WANT?!?" by now, I'm pretty much having a panic attack, and I just want to go home. Whatever. We got back in the room and ate most of our McDonalds, and then cuddled while watching Saw 3 and 4. I liked them as well, like I liked the 2nd one. The 5th one is no longer in theatre's (of course!) so we'll wait till it comes out on DVD and watch it then. Sarah called after Saw 4 was over and we were just sitting around. Cooper had come to get his stuff. And she was hysterical. I didn't know what to tell her. She broke up with him! But I did my best to calm her down, and she said she had to go, so we hung up. Jim and I silly fought about his stupid phone alarm going off, but he got defensive AGAIN. We cuddled for a bit, and then I was feeling SO sick. The worst part...By this time it's about 4AM. I was definatley feeling sick. After I felt well enough, I asked Jim if HE was okay. He said "Yea. It's just 4:30 in the morning."...I don't know why I took it the way I did...But I had to go into the bathroom and cry...I felt like I was such a bother and just no fun for him anymore...I felt like I am a bother to him when I get sick...He had snapped at me like 8 times that day...He was 20 hours late...I just felt like he did not want to be with me at all...So I hid in the bathroom...And bawled...I came back out and got into bed where he was already basically sleeping...So I just went to sleep myself...
The next morning (Sunday). Jim and I didn't wake up until 1PM. And he had a text message. From both his Dad and his sister, asking if he was going to his grandfather's suprise birthday party that day at 3. O god...Here we go...After so much laying in bed that came to him having to leave in about...25 minutes...He said "I have to go get in the shower real fast cuz I have to leave soon"...Okay...So I didn't want to get in the shower with him because then it would've taken longer! But (of course!) he was upset that I didn't. I can't win. He sat down and started to say that he loved me and was sorry and bleh bleh bleh. I said it didn't matter. Love doesn't get him to stay in my bed. Love doesn't fix anything. He seemed kinda angry. But continued to sit there. Just staring across the room. I said "let's go, you're gonna be late..." and he let me get up. I got dressed, and we walked to his car. He never reached for my hand...Or even looked at me...We got in the car, still nothing. He parked by my building and told me he'd talk to me later. I said okay. Waiting for a kiss...A hug...ANYTHING! Then he said bye. I said fine and got out of the car slowly. And walked away. And he just sat there in the car. When I was running up the stairs inside my building, he called. I answered the phone and said "What?!?" He asked if I wanted a hug and kiss. I told him that if he really wanted a hug and kiss he would've asked earlier. He just kept telling me to come outside. Of course I finally caved. The people in my building must think that I am insane. I ran back outside crying. He got out of the car when I was coming down the outside stairs. When I kept walking at him full force, tears streaming down my cheecks. I practically threw myself into his arms, and he just stood there and held me while I kept saying that I was so mad at him. He held me, and kissed me, and told me he loved me. Pretty much tried to cram everything I had wanted since we woke up into 5 minutes. I begged him to stay, then begged him to let me come with him and I would pay him for gas to bring me back so he could stay another night. He declined both. And I felt even more that he didn't want to be with me. I felt terrible. He left me anyway...He was very late...I came back inside, and thought maybe a shower would help. I called to let him know that so he didn't call and I didn't answer. I cried again. Then got in the shower. It made me feel a little bit better. Jim made it home safely, and after my shower I decided to read a bit. Jim called while I was reading, and I was honestly a little afraid of why he might be calling. He called to say that Cooper had called him, and wasn't doing so great (of course) and wanted to go to Jim's mothers bar and have a few drinks and talk. Jim was calling to make sure that was okay. I said of course. But told him that it did hurt. Because I was living as a stupid fairy tale teenager...And part of me wanted to believe so badly that Jim was going to come back to me after his Grandpap's dinner...And now that he was going out with Cooper I was sure that wasn't going to happen...But I totally understood that best friend time was needed...And I had NO problem what so ever with them going out. I just told them have fun, but careful fun. I even told Jim to tell Cooper that I miss him and please don't hate me. Cooper texted me from his phone and said he didn't hate me, and that he was going to call me later...That made for the biggest smile I had all weekend...Since that has happened, I have been sitting here. Just sitting here. Writting in this. And Lindsay IM'd me. She asked questions about Tom. Who is apparently ALREADY starting drama. Shoot me. I can't deal with people. I can't deal with this BULLSHIT! Maybe I know ALREADY that I can't trust him...
I think I am going to go read some more. And wait for something to change.
I may very well be back...It's not even 9PM yet...
I love you leelan...
P.S. Only you will get this...
I wanna make you smile
Whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All i wanna do, is grow old with you
I'll get you medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
So, it could be so nice growing old with you,....
I'll miss you
Kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold
Need you
Feed you
Even let you hold the remote control.
So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink
Oh I could be the man that grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you.

I almost blew my solo REALLY bad because when I looked out into the crowd Brandon was there, but I saved it. The people in the crowd probably didn't even know it was wrong. It wasn't that bad I guess. After the concert I called Jim while walking back, and he seemed kind of angry when I mentioned that Brandon was there. I turned in my robe, and helped put away other people's robes, and then left to go back to my room. Campus was kinda madness, between people going to the premire of Twlight and leaving the Choir conert (we had a full house), so I wasn't really worried. I got back into my room and called Jim back. We played WoW for a bit, then got on AIM for a bit. Just in time too. At about midnight Sarah IM'ed me. Which, I love her, but anyone IM'ing at midnight usually is not good. I was right. Not good. Sarah and Cooper broke up on November 20, 2008. Technically 21st, their anniversary. For real this time. She wasn't even crying. Sarah, Jim, and I talked for a good while on Buddy Chat, assuring Sarah that no one hates her, and that it isn't her fault. Then we all had to go to bed.
Friday I woke up feeling pretty damn great because I knew that was the day that Jim was supposed to come and spend the weekend with me. Choir was canceled again, but I got up and went to Psyche. After Psyche I got to eat lunch before English for once! English went well, and I found a brand spanking new ipod touch just laying at my seat! It had a name engraved in the back, and a few things on it, but those could be EASILY deleted. I was seriously thinking about the $225 that thing is worth that I DON'T have...But I texted Jim to make sure there wasn't any sort of tracking system. I even talked about it to someone in the class, but made it seem casual. He said he didn't think so either. SO in my pocket it went! I didn't want it, I have my own little dinky ipod shuffle, I just wanted the money! When I got back into my room I started talking to Cassy and I also watched the episode of Grey's that I missed Thursday because of the Choir Concert. Waiting for Grey's to load I got an email from the owner of the ipod, so I agreed to meet her in front of the union at 6. I really wished I didn't have whatever's left of my concious. But I did give it back. She was extremely grateful, which made me feel good. I went back to my room and finished my episode of Grey's. It was only a few hours until Jim was supposed to get here so naturally I was bounching off of the walls! Yea...That's all well and good till Jim texts me and says that he can't come because of "you know who you know why" and that he's sorry and doesn't want to talk about it. No offense babe but at that point I don't care if you want to talk about it or not! So I called. We talked for a bit, but I kept being passed between him and his Dad because they were still at bowling. He said we'd talk later and we hung up. I wanted to explode. I decided to check all of my mail sources instead. When I signed on Facebook Michelle DOUCHE BAG sent me a message freaking out about how she can't see Mike and she's on accademic probation and whine whine whine bitch bitch bitch. I DON'T CARE BITCH! I'm sorry but I really don't feel like listening to you bitch about how you can't see MY ex-boyfriend. I don't want to be your friend. It's great that we can be civil. But I hate you. I didn't say that, because that would lead to being un-civil again but I said that it's not snowing, and that I am not in the mood, and that I do not care. I proceeded to check my stuff and she said 'Well what the fuck is YOUR problem?!?"...I signed off...I decided maybe a way too hot shower would calm my nerves, and went to try it. As soon as I got in the water, the phone went off. Great! I answered without looking with a rather mean "WHAT?!?" It was Mike, my ex, and now trying to be friend, asking where I was that it wasn't snowing. I told him that it was no longer snowing here, and I knew Jim had said that it wasn't snowing there either. Mike said that it was snowing at his house, which I responded to with another obviously angry "I don't care"...He got the hint said talk to you later and we hung up. I got back in the shower. And did WAAYY too much thinking. When I got out of the shower and mostly dressed, I called Mike back. And went OFF! Asking where the fuck this I have to be in Pgh EVERY weekend BULLSHIT came from and how if it snowed when WE were together I didn't get SHIT and it told him about Michelle and my conversation and how she's too needy for a long distance relationship and overall WHAT THE FUCK IS HE THINKING?!? He sat in pretty much silence the entire time I was venting and when I stopped he asked if I was done...I said a defeated sounding yes...And he said he was going to call my dorm room phone. He hung up on me. And sure as shit, the dorm room phone rang about 2 minutes later and it was him. I talked to my ex boyfriend who I swore I would hate forever for about 3 hours on Friday night. We even talked about going to the strip club together. He has never been to one. And he was really genuienly trying to cheer me up. We talked a lot about Michelle. And our past. And how he doesn't want to be with Michelle anymore, how he's only staying with her because he's afraid that his dog will just "run away" because it's with her. How he's just waiting for one more big fight to totally end it. And we talked about who he wants to be with, a girl I knew he wanted to be with even during our relationship. Vera. She is beautiful. And everything he wants and needs. And she would take care of him so everyone else would be happy. We seriously considered meeting at the strip club for a LONG time, but I knew I probably wouldn't be much fun to be around, so I blammed the weather and said we shouldn't go out. A while later, his other phone rang, and he told me he had to go and call Michelle to tell her that the weather was too bad and he was turning around. He had never left the couch. What's that tell you...I told him that this was pretty much goodnight, talk to her, go to sleep, etc. We said goodnight and hung up. I just sat at this desk and stared into space for a while. Then AIM went off telling me I had a new IM from Jim. He had made it home. I asked if he wanted to talk to me now and he said yea, but then never said anything, so I brought up conversation. He said tommarow bright and early he was going to move the stuff in the basement like they wanted, then would be on his way. We debated on holding a protest and not sleeping until it could be next to each other, but he passed out on me at rapid speed, so I reluctantley told him just to go to sleep. He called and we said our I love you's, and he went to sleep. I stayed up for a while, just sitting at my desk reading "Eclipse" (Twilight loser)...
It's Saturday by now...And I got another IM from Tom...He had just gotten home, he was in a car accident. I kinda panicked. So he turned on his webcam on AIM so that I could see he was okay. We had a little video chat. I don't have a webcam, so he could only HEAR me, but I could only SEE him but not hear him...It was weird...We talked about a lot...Lots of painful stuff...Then all of the sudden I could hear him! It was weird hearing and seeing him...And he kept eye contact with the webcam (and therefore me) the entire time. It was like he was here. It was like my best friend was back. The only OLD best friend I feel like I have left. It was bitter sweet. I'm not sure I can trust him to never leave me again...But I can try until he does...We ended up talking with absolutley NO sense of the time...That worked until about 7:30 in the morning, because the sun had come up. We just laughed, but decided sleep was probably in our best interest. And I knew it was only a few hours till Jim would get here, and didn't want to be total walking dead...So I curled up in my bed and knew for the first time without Jim that I was going to sleep...And I did! Until 4:30! O MY GOD! I shot up out of bed and thought for sure Jim had already called and been sitting in the parking lot for hours. But when I looked at the phone, there was no call. This made me even MORE worried though. Where was he?!? I called. No answer. Freak out some more. Bathroom. Get dressed. Phone rings. YES! It was Jim. He was only in Heidleberg! And he. was. PISSED! Great...But he was on his way so...He got here and I just got in the car so we could go and get something to eat. He seemed a little on the edge, but was trying, so I tried too. It worked till we talked about which McDonalds to go to. I brought up the one by Sheetz so we could see if Twlight was playing in the movie theatre by there. Good. Grand. Swell. Ok. To that McDonalds. The movie theatre close to there wasn't playing Twlight (what the hell...!) but we went to that McDonalds anyway. We had cupons. So we got a lot of food. He asked if I would want something to drink, and where the closest liquor store was. I forgot TOTALLY about the little hole in the wall one in Cal. I called Kim to ask her. But no answer. He said forget about that, what did I want to do. I said Twlight. I thought maybe I could remember where the other theatre was, in Uniontown. Kim called back and reminded me of the one in Cal, I said thanks bleh bleh bleh, and Jim turned around! Umm...Hun...Where ya goin?!? I thought we were goin to the movies?!? That's when the sudden freaking out started! He had forgotten and I said just forget it that's fine. And he freaked out saying he hates when I do that and stuff. Bleh bleh bleh. He asked what I wanted to do again, and I said just go home. We talked more about the liquor store. But when we got to Cal he went straight onto campus...Okayyy...I asked him about it and there was more freaking out about "WHAT DO YOU WANT?!?" by now, I'm pretty much having a panic attack, and I just want to go home. Whatever. We got back in the room and ate most of our McDonalds, and then cuddled while watching Saw 3 and 4. I liked them as well, like I liked the 2nd one. The 5th one is no longer in theatre's (of course!) so we'll wait till it comes out on DVD and watch it then. Sarah called after Saw 4 was over and we were just sitting around. Cooper had come to get his stuff. And she was hysterical. I didn't know what to tell her. She broke up with him! But I did my best to calm her down, and she said she had to go, so we hung up. Jim and I silly fought about his stupid phone alarm going off, but he got defensive AGAIN. We cuddled for a bit, and then I was feeling SO sick. The worst part...By this time it's about 4AM. I was definatley feeling sick. After I felt well enough, I asked Jim if HE was okay. He said "Yea. It's just 4:30 in the morning."...I don't know why I took it the way I did...But I had to go into the bathroom and cry...I felt like I was such a bother and just no fun for him anymore...I felt like I am a bother to him when I get sick...He had snapped at me like 8 times that day...He was 20 hours late...I just felt like he did not want to be with me at all...So I hid in the bathroom...And bawled...I came back out and got into bed where he was already basically sleeping...So I just went to sleep myself...
The next morning (Sunday). Jim and I didn't wake up until 1PM. And he had a text message. From both his Dad and his sister, asking if he was going to his grandfather's suprise birthday party that day at 3. O god...Here we go...After so much laying in bed that came to him having to leave in about...25 minutes...He said "I have to go get in the shower real fast cuz I have to leave soon"...Okay...So I didn't want to get in the shower with him because then it would've taken longer! But (of course!) he was upset that I didn't. I can't win. He sat down and started to say that he loved me and was sorry and bleh bleh bleh. I said it didn't matter. Love doesn't get him to stay in my bed. Love doesn't fix anything. He seemed kinda angry. But continued to sit there. Just staring across the room. I said "let's go, you're gonna be late..." and he let me get up. I got dressed, and we walked to his car. He never reached for my hand...Or even looked at me...We got in the car, still nothing. He parked by my building and told me he'd talk to me later. I said okay. Waiting for a kiss...A hug...ANYTHING! Then he said bye. I said fine and got out of the car slowly. And walked away. And he just sat there in the car. When I was running up the stairs inside my building, he called. I answered the phone and said "What?!?" He asked if I wanted a hug and kiss. I told him that if he really wanted a hug and kiss he would've asked earlier. He just kept telling me to come outside. Of course I finally caved. The people in my building must think that I am insane. I ran back outside crying. He got out of the car when I was coming down the outside stairs. When I kept walking at him full force, tears streaming down my cheecks. I practically threw myself into his arms, and he just stood there and held me while I kept saying that I was so mad at him. He held me, and kissed me, and told me he loved me. Pretty much tried to cram everything I had wanted since we woke up into 5 minutes. I begged him to stay, then begged him to let me come with him and I would pay him for gas to bring me back so he could stay another night. He declined both. And I felt even more that he didn't want to be with me. I felt terrible. He left me anyway...He was very late...I came back inside, and thought maybe a shower would help. I called to let him know that so he didn't call and I didn't answer. I cried again. Then got in the shower. It made me feel a little bit better. Jim made it home safely, and after my shower I decided to read a bit. Jim called while I was reading, and I was honestly a little afraid of why he might be calling. He called to say that Cooper had called him, and wasn't doing so great (of course) and wanted to go to Jim's mothers bar and have a few drinks and talk. Jim was calling to make sure that was okay. I said of course. But told him that it did hurt. Because I was living as a stupid fairy tale teenager...And part of me wanted to believe so badly that Jim was going to come back to me after his Grandpap's dinner...And now that he was going out with Cooper I was sure that wasn't going to happen...But I totally understood that best friend time was needed...And I had NO problem what so ever with them going out. I just told them have fun, but careful fun. I even told Jim to tell Cooper that I miss him and please don't hate me. Cooper texted me from his phone and said he didn't hate me, and that he was going to call me later...That made for the biggest smile I had all weekend...Since that has happened, I have been sitting here. Just sitting here. Writting in this. And Lindsay IM'd me. She asked questions about Tom. Who is apparently ALREADY starting drama. Shoot me. I can't deal with people. I can't deal with this BULLSHIT! Maybe I know ALREADY that I can't trust him...
I think I am going to go read some more. And wait for something to change.
I may very well be back...It's not even 9PM yet...
I love you leelan...
P.S. Only you will get this...
I wanna make you smile
Whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All i wanna do, is grow old with you
I'll get you medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
So, it could be so nice growing old with you,....
I'll miss you
Kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold
Need you
Feed you
Even let you hold the remote control.
So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink
Oh I could be the man that grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you.
