tonite TOOMA is a busy bee...so im left to waffle on my own ...hm readin mail from many days/wks bk ...also worryin n thinkin a bit, abt loadsa stuff ....sigh ..
think one day he ll bust ...sorta worried when thtll b ..n whts gonna happen then ....
 
woke up really late today ..was in a crappy mood for the most part, but handled it ok ...i attnded evenin mass today! whoa ..after er, sev mnths too ..i think in the past yr ive gone like, 5 times to church...n not to attend mass as such, more like to get a peace of mind, talk to god a bit ...when not too many hypocrites r ard....today was a bit of tht, guess i needed a listenin ear..a forgivin one too ..got quite emotional, mst admit (n shhhh! dont remind me) i even shed a few tears....
 
went shoppin for healthy food, becos i really wanna not b fat for TOOMA ..its botherin me like nethin ..to think tht he finds me unattractive :(  blah...i cud care less if nebody else thought that ...but this is TOOMA! so ..a diet is in order ..ugh ...so got some low sugar cereal, instant noodles er cat food for my little doggy ...some mushrooms ...well i dint have much cash on me neway
 
went to the park for a smoke ...then went home, feelin a hundred times better ..cud it ve been divine intervention u think? or was it jst me burnin my lungs lol hahaha ...
 
got home n had some cereal w soy milk, then grapes followin tht ...n then..i brushed my teeth asap, so i wont eat nemore...oh hang on, nah had some soup after the grapes ...was sorta cravin some warm food...coz all of today i had cold food ...b4 church i had some salad ...vinaigrette based of cos...
 
listenin to: judith by inner circle ...hm bit paradoxical, goin to church n now this hehe
 
fyi here r the lyrics
You're such an inspiration for ways that i will never ever choose to be
Oh so many ways for me to show you how your savior has abandoned you
Fuck your god, your Lord, your Christ
He did this, took all you had and left you this way
Still you pray, never stray, never taste of the fruit, never thought to question
why

It's not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
Praise the one who left you broken down and paralyzed
He did it all for you
He did it all for you

Oh so many ways for me to show you how your dogma has abandoned you
Pray to your Christ, to your god
Never taste of the fruit
Never stray, never break, never choke on a lie
Even though he's the one who did this to you
You never thought to question why
 
Not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side
Talk to Jesus Christ as if he knows the reasons why
He did it all to you he did it all for you he did it all for you
for the record..im not a satanist n never will b  ...i believe in god, i believe in relign, i believe in the existence of a higher power...it jst so happens tht i also believe in the evil thts inherent in evy one of us ...
 
well will leave u on this note.

how boring...doin job apps, copy/pastin really hahaha...sorta bored, eager for a chat..hm...but best i get this stuff done, or ill b fat n broke forever...
 
so it turned out to b quite a fine day yest, despite what happ the nite before hmmm...well probly i jst got up from the wrong side of the bed...becos TOOMA has been really sweet as of late..so it must b me
i guess a lot of stuff needs gettin used to, like his busy schedule n his careless comments said out of fun, bein the joker tht he is..hehe
 
went out w PL n his nerdy buddy B. the nite turned out ok, we dint do much...had a huge dinner, went for coffee afterwards...hm urs truly does not take coffee, she had a heiny instead...got home pretty early, dealt w some unxpectd mess at home w folks...hmm which shud clear itself out in a cpl of days -- i hope
 
spent the nite w TOOMA =))) ..yes thts a wide smile u c...lol
so did not have the time to come online..ahem...
we fell asleep together...well him first ..as i watched him snooze n snore ...was such a pretty sight =)  baby talked him for a bit...then joined him in slumberland ...zzZzzzz..
 
woke up in the afternoon when RG rang up, apparently full of hurt becos i have not emailed him "for ages!!!" (sniff sniff) ..honest to god i was not countin the days/wks ...not as if ne of it intentional...but i did feel a bit bad, i guess things jst got busy over the hols last wk ....
chatted for a bit, brought up the good ol days -- to no effect, obviously ..n much to his chagrin i guess..."i messed up, i didnt handle the situation properly" he said...hmmm...too late for tht i sppose...
nonetheless we spoke w little ill will ..i mean i will never forget nor forgive what happ...but i have def moved on...n i think he understands tht...
 
listenin to panteras 'cage in a rage' hm..
 
n this evenin? hm had a quiet one ...spoke w veni for a while, abt men what else? argh....
did some readin...the paper..some old issue from nov 25 haha! then walked jinney at 10 or so, then scoured the streets for todays paper ...
 
all in all, a pretty good day ...but missin TOOMA nonetheless...a bit more than usual ...ohwell :|

 
6:38 a.m.
 
so he says im not what he always wanted...im too fat too big too bushy-eyebrowed..says im 'indecent' becos i drink n smoke (the latter which i do like, once every cpl of eons, mind u....) ...i nag too much, n the ultimate let down.... i talk too much. hmpth....n all this while im thinkin he actually found my verbal spewin at least half-endearing (his words: 'u go on n on n on n round n round n round but there is no point to it - the content is missin')...dumb, stupid me...
 
so tonite he ogles n drools on one of his usual girly mags.....pics of pam et al wearin nothin but their plastic chests i spose..n this is after i spend all day missin him, literally speakin ....blah...
says hes on a mission to find some lost issue of sports illustrated... cos apparently it featured all of the worlds models clad in bikinis ..or less...
blah ...bimbos -- w brains or not -- never not look good when they got no clothes on i guess...so whatever...says he watched the filmin of the shots on tv ..which left him all enthralled n awestruck i suppose...
 
then he talks abt an ex, ignorin what im sayin or askin....
 
so what do i do? er somthin ...to hurt myself..n hurt him, possibly....
but of course he doenst give a shit that i did it.... because he wasnt listenin to me whn i told him to begin with!  was too busy talkin abt ..actually i dont even remmber what he was so busy talkin abt ...er his mag mebbe...
 
'c mon, its not as if im tom/brad/etc myself!!!' he portests, in total exasperation ..whn he finally succeeds in squeezin it outta me ....when i tell him whts makin me sad n teary....
'er yea thanks'..i feel a lot better knowin that u do c me as this butt ugly blob of cellulite.....
 
n hes constantly surrounded by these females -- 'hot babes', as he has referd to them on numerous occasns....yea.....n im nothin but a mass of jello ...
 
ok then..
i will sleep on this......yawn... feelin quite sorry for myself....feelin fat, ugly, unwanted....
but uknow somthin.. if he does think these things of me, then who m i to throw a fit? surely i dont xpect him to lie do i? ..ugh... mebe he thinks of pammy when him n i .......
so...the object of my dreams ...hates the way i look 'but uve got a beautiful heart' hahaha......
i feel nauseous....
 
i c the sun comin out..the sky is white n blue now.... time for the vampire to retreat into its cave.....to draw some blood....lol haaha
bye

its been a great 2 days!
 
hm had this mad idea last nite to go for a haircut...n..unfortunately i did go, blah..not exactly what i wanted. for one thing i specifically asked the guy to not cut my layers in the front framin my face by too much, n he did jst that!  ..i think i look like a dyke now, quite honestly hmm..thinkin i shud wear a baseball cap all summer :( but then i mite look like a butch ugh. (btw theyre a cool bunch of ppl, more power to them!)
 
did some shoppin, bought some stuff to make my room a bit more livable ...stocked up on food ..hm it was a nice break, to b out n abt for a change ...see ppl, to b in the presence of ppl, the change in scenery.....
 
then this site kept stuffin up durin the nite ..i assume they were in the process of improvin the thing ...n actually its so much better now, coz u can muck around w the html tags unlike b4 ...it was either u strictly stick to the default layout n formattin interface, or u start from html scratch on a blank page..n u cud not shift tween the two...was really frustratin
but now tis much better ..so thank u webmistress/master!
 
so yea i cud not log on all nite until jst b4 bed ...n by then i was too whacked..coz id written a few job apps..ugh, borin job apps .....
 
oh n y this perky mood of mine? hehe TOOMA has been real sweet past few days....=)  hmmm hes so gorgeous...
gave me a wake up call today as usual ..always the bestest way to start the day ...
 
on another note, i tried my hand at a new recipe today n it turned out to b ..a small disaster...but no worries, i cleaned up the place real good so nobody will ever know
 
think will log off for a bit to clean up my rm
 
later.

feelin much better...just wrote mail to TOOMA, perhaps hidin my feelings a bit abt how much of a basket case i was tonite hm. i dont wanna startle him i guess, or needlessly worry the guy...
neway fakin a smile helped..coz im feelin alrite now..
im progressin along quite slowly w my homepage argh. havin a few probs w the alignments but overall i havent forgotten the very little i learned at uni, im proud to say hahaha. hm mebe i shud teach myself more html..hmm...actually first thing i wanna do is reaquaint myself w the piano, ive always wanted to do that since its been at least 5 years since i tinkered with the thing..actually its a synthesizer, a real cool one too...hm ok my things to do list:
1. tickle the ivory
2. learn html to make my homepage look at least half decent.

listening to aerosmith's 'i dont wanna miss a thing'. shit, its so emotional...cant stand steven tyler tho. the sex drugs n rock n roll shit...

so tonite i hung around at the pond. had dinner, read the paper a bit...oddly enuff there were quite a number of ppl there as well so it wasnt so quiet as i wanted it to b..plus was a bit wary as they seemed like louts to me. but the evenin passed without incident..was a bit cold as time wore on but as always i got some peace of mind at least.

talked to TOOMA a bit on chat when i got back. what a sweetheart...

then chatted w veni for a good 2 hrs or so. abt men n life n love, what else? m not so upset at her nemore...in fact i got emotional on her n told her how much she meant to me..

oh yea. got a card from Remorseful Guy (herafter to b known as "RG"). i reminisced for a good few minutes but im pretty sure im over him. will write him a thank u card one of these days, if i remember..

well time to go beddy. tero my teddy awaits...goodnitey.

"i must wake up b4 noon" shud b my new mantra. but on the bright side, it was TOOMA who rang to wake me up =) talked for abt an hr b4 he had to jet for a meetin.

scalp feelin itchy. it cant b my shampoo, ive been usin it for 2 yrs now...maybe its stress. coz i just washed my hair the other day. oh i stopped blowdryin, that cud b it u think? hm...mite wash it tonite then.

blah my room is in a mess. beds still undone n clothes everywhere. think will break a bit, to do some hse cleanin. oh need to give a friend a call, becos shes off to the usa on thurs to visit her fam.

to do list for today:
1. make bed (+ sheets hopefully)
2. buy food for jinney
3. move clothes from bed into wardrobe
4. send at least 2 job apps

ill b lucky if i get even just 2 of the above done (#2 n 3).

10:35 p.m.

blah, u did it again..sigh.
i will b ok tho. can u believe tht i felt like faggin just now, but no! hmpth i m stronger than this...bsides, ive had this cough for a while now, or actually since i picked up the habit....throat gets dry in the mornin too. hm..
how can someones attn span b so neatly n strictly er..how on earth can one stay so focused? sigh, or maybe its just me whose mind wanders to n fro, swayin from subject to subject..like a pendulum..xcept its not jst left n rite but in all directions. in the spate of a cpl of mins, or hrs. blah..then it can last for days n days, or even wks on end.. oh shit not again - i feel insanitys startin to take over....

'nothin else matters' playin. makin me emotional..ugh....think will skip this track. hang on a sec..

think will go binge now..to deviate from where my thoughts r taking me...
n im not even hungry..sheesh how pathetic.
