To Write Love on Her Arms

Haha this is actually my tattoo I've had for two years. I'll admit I filled in the "L" and the "V" a little bit. The tattooist messed up on those parts and I haven't gotten around to getting a touch up.

I have underestimated the satiety I can get from beverages. It's a great realization. Black coffee ftw.

This put a smile on my face...

  • Sep. 24th, 2009 at 4:39 PM

I was sitting on the patio of Dairy Queen today with my BBFF(boy best friend forever) and an old man came by and said "Ain't life great?"

I said, "It sure is. It's a lovely day."

He continued, "Having an ice cream, the weather is beautiful, and you're in great company. It doesn't get any better than this."

And I think he is right. This man was old.. and I'm sure he's seen everything. But it's the simplest things that bring the greatest happiness to one's life. What more could you possibly ask for? Money? Beauty? Perfection? Most of those are totally unattainable. Am I supposed to die trying? And if I achieve them will it ever be enough? Will I truly be happy? I can't take them to my grave with me. But moments like today.. those will be memories that I can take with me wherever I go.

My growing list of experiences

  • Sep. 22nd, 2009 at 9:18 PM

I'm just going to start a list of life experiences. Little reminders that hopefully will help me get by.

22/09/09
1) Live in the NOW. I spend so much time dreaming about how things could have been, how thing would have been.. if I didn't do this or that. Sometimes I do the opposite and dream about how I would like things to be. Most of it is just a big waste of time. By spending so much time in the past and the future, I am missing out on so many little gifts that today is bringing. I don't have control of neither the past nor the future. But I DO have control of what is happening RIGHT now. This is where I need to keep myself grounded.


23/09/09
2) Professionals are professionals for a reason. Sometimes friends... or boyfriends try to be doctors. They think they can make things better and I begin to believe that they can help me through hardships. But I deal with some serious issues that normal people typically have a hard time understanding.. and don't know what to do about. Sometimes I need to just learn to keep some things to myself. I don't think that means I would be dishonest.. I can tell them I am not feeling great.. but I don't need to go in to all the details. Boyfriends are not doctors. They can not fix me or make me better no matter what they say and no matter what I think. Doctors and Psychiatrists didn't go through all that schooling for nothing!


24/09/09
3)Suffering brings out the strongest in all of us. With suffering comes appreciation, learning, love. Without suffering, we wouldn't know how rich we really are.


10/11/09
4) I'd rather be apart of the real, cruel, harsh world than to live in a fantasy where everything is rainbows and butterflies. It really sucks that it isn't. I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all. I'd rather deal with the harsh truths and complexities of human relationships than to live in my ignorant bliss.


5) If I'm going to have expectations of other people- prepared to be disappointed. This sounds so pessimistic, but really, can you actually, 100% count on anyone else other than yourself? I'm not blaming people for disappointing me. Human minds are just so complex, you really can't be certain of what a person may or may not do.


5) They'll always say what you want to get what they want

Sep. 22nd, 2009

  • 8:36 PM

I know the right things and the wrong things to do. I know when I shouldn't do something. Yet it doesn't stop me because I like to live in my fantasy world... where the things I want to do but know I shouldn't do seem justifiable because in my fantasy world, everything goes my way.

The real world sucks. People are cruel. People will hurt you. Not everybody well be truthful.

But I don't want to live a lie anymore. I'm so scared to step out of my bubble. But I think it is the only way I can move on. and grow. and really live.

From the movie Closer...

  • Aug. 10th, 2009 at 7:15 PM

Alice: Where have you been?
Dan: Work thing, had a drink with Harry. You never have one drink with Harry.
Alice: You know he's in love with you.
Dan: No he isn't...is he?
Alice: *nods*

Alice: ....what?
Dan: This will hurt. I've been with Anna. I'm in love with her. We've seeing each other for a year. It began at her opening.

*Alice walks away*

Alice: I'm going
Dan: I'm sorry
Alice: Irrelevant. What are you sorry for?
Dan: Everything.
Alice: Why didn't you tell me before?
Dan: Cowardice.
Alice: Is it because she's successful?
Dan: No, it's because she doesn't need me.
Alice: Do you bring her here?
Dan: Yes.
Alice: Didn't she get married?
Dan: She stopped seeing me.
Alice: Is that when we went to the country? To celebrate our third anniversary? Do you phone her? Beg her to come back...When you went for your long lonely walks?
Dan: Yes
Alice: You're a piece of shit.
Dan: Deception is brutal. I'm not pretending otherwise.
Alice: How?
Alice: How does it work? How do you do this to someone?
Dan: ...
Alice: Not good enough.
Dan: I fell in love with her, Alice.
Alice: Oh, as if you had no choice! There's a moment. There's always a moment. "I can do this. I can give in to this, or I can resist it." And I don't know when your moment was, but I bet you there was one.
Alice: I'm going.

Dan: It's not safe out there.
Alice: And it's safe in here?
Dan: What about your things?
Alice: I don't need things.
Dan: Where will you go?
Alice: Disappear.

Alice: Can I still see you? ...Dan. Can I still see you?! Answer me!
Dan: I can't see you. If I see you, I'll never leave you.
Alice: What will you do if I find someone else?
Dan: Be jealous.
Alice: You still fancy me?
Dan: Of course.
Alice: You're lying. I've been you...Will you hold me?
Alice: I amuse you, but I bore you.
Dan: No.
Alice: You did love me?
Dan: I'll always love you. I hate hurting you.
Alice: Then why are you?
Dan: 'Cause I'm selfish. And I think I'll be happier with her.
Alice: You won't. You'll miss me. No one will ever love you as much as I do. Why isn't love enough? I'm the one who leaves... I'm supposed to leave you. I'm the one who leaves.
Alice: Make some tea, buster.

I purged four times today. It was pretty gross. Mostly ice cream... bleh.

fml.

  • Jun. 8th, 2009 at 1:49 PM

Purging spicy food burns like a motherfucker.

I am so so so so sooooooooo stupid.

Ugh I just want all this to go away. Last week was like the best week of my life. I hate when I'm like this.. 'cause all I'm doing is hurting everyone around me.

:D:D:D:D:D

  • Apr. 17th, 2009 at 1:17 PM

I'm so ridiculously excited right now I can not contain myself

1) I am finished the school year in 4 days! FOUR days!!!!!!!!

2) I think I am in love with the most amazing man I have ever met.

:D

optimistic!

  • Mar. 17th, 2009 at 9:52 PM

I realized that the only times I ever write in this journal is when I'm feeling sad.. but today I decided to write because I am feeling happy. And pretty pleased with myself.

I am just happy that I have been staying on track. I've been eating healthy and going to the gym everyday. I'm taking care of myself. I'm giving myself credit. I'm feeling like I deserve to be happy.

The gym has really been good for my mood. It's keeping me thinking very postively and I really need that now to avoid a nervous breakdown in the next couple of days.

And to make things even lovelier, the sun is finally up and shining again. I just love being outside. I look forward to my walk to the gym. It's just so nice to not have to wear boots and a coat anymore! Feels so great!!!

stands for fuck my life.

I feel like absolute shit right now. So I am going to rant.

I've been doing so well all week with restricting. I would have a biscuit for breakfast, a protein bar for lunch.. a latte for a snack and then a small dinner of protein and vegetables. I wasn't even hungry much thanks to the Slimquick i'm on

Today my mom was being a bitch in the car and talking about how deadly i look. And how much trouble I bring to the family. And how useless I am. And how disappointed my dad is in me. I ignored her..

When I came home I had a small can of spicy tuna. Then I was still hungry and ate a granola bar. Then I binged on cookies and chocolate.

I'm so upset with myself right now. Earlier on, I went to the store and bought more protein bars thinking that's all I'm going to be eating for a month. But I know when I get back to residence (tomorrow) i am going to binge on the nasty nasty fattening food from the cafe. Ughh I'm so fustrated. I'm going to look like a fucking hippo on the runway. I need to be THIN for the fashion show. Its in less than a month and I thought I was doing well but I feel like I am losing control.

I just had dinner with the family. I was so full but I just had to eat anyway. I'm feeling sooo gross right now. I want to purge. But I know I shouldn't. My stomach feels like absolute shit right now.

FML.


I don't even know what to think of myself right now. This is so not like me. I'm lost and broken up inside. I can't keep my mind off of you.

I'm in love with one guy
I just broke up with my boyfriend
I'm sleeping with another.

WHAT THE HELL.

I know I'm doing this because I can't have him. At least you're touchable. I can feel you. You won't love me. You won't care about me. But I can feel you.

He won't let even let me go near him.
It hurts so bad that he won't let me love him. &He'll never love me.


Emily has no friends

  • Jan. 22nd, 2008 at 1:59 PM

My school is doing graduation photos soon. We have to "sign up" for certain days. Photos are being done Jan 22 - Feb 4. One group of my friends (about 6 people) signed up for the 4th. A different group of "friends" signed up for the 1st. Everybody put their friends names so they could be together. Nobody wrote my name. Nobody called to ask me or texted me. I didn't even know about the sign-ups.

I have no friends.

I need a hug.

and be tucked in to bed with a kiss goodnight.

Trembling

  • Jan. 7th, 2008 at 12:24 AM

I gaze at the sweet seduction of your lips,

the sadness in your eyes

 

I shouldn't.

But I can't stop myself.

 

The coldness of your hands on my neck.

The warmth of my face against your chest.

Tiny heartbeats in my ear.

 

Pulling away,

giving in.

 

My lips shaking as you pull me in closer.

 

It isn't right.

I can't help myself.

 

Your nose grazes mine as our lips are united,

like when the sun meets the earth at the horizon.

In perfect harmony.

 

Whispering in the darkness,

longing,

wanting.

 

I can't stop trembling.

New Years

  • Jan. 1st, 2008 at 1:03 PM

Grrrr... just got woken up by my mother.

I HATTEEE being woken up all of a sudden by anything that *alarms* me, other than my alarm clock. Telephone rings, loud talking downstairs.... mom was banging on my door.

Pixie ran in when she opened the door and snuck under my bed.

Mom said something about lunch and I was like "WHY are you waking me upppppp so earrrrrrrlllyyyyy?". It was 12:32 already...

THen she kept asking me about last night.

I went to a friend's house for the New Years. It's my first time actually going somewhere/doing something for New Years. We were just hanging out. All my other friends thought they'd be staying until morning.. 

I didn't think that would be the greatest idea since my mom was already bugging me about it all day. So when my sister (out with her fiance) called to see what time I was going home... I told her I wasn't sure. And asked if they could pick me up when they were going home. 

I thought I was doing a good thing. So mom would have to worry less. I'd have wayyyyyyy more explaining to do if I got home at 5 in the morning, right? I really could've stayed around longer.. would've loved to, but I didn't want them to worry THAT much. 

But when I called home to let my mom know.. she was all like WHAT? Why are you coming home now? Why did Maple (sister) call you? Why is Maple finace picking you up? 

I told her she was asking too many questions. The point was, I was getting home. Since when did she care about being a nuisance to other people... my mom is mucccccchhhhh worse. One night when a friend was driving me home after having coffee, my mom asked him if he could drive her to her friend's house. o.O Totally random, I felt soooo bad. 

So yeh.. this morning when she banged on my door, she demanded I answer those questions. AGain. With more detail. So I explained... And that obviously woke me up completely. I was just pissed I had to wake up. I don't like being interrupted in my sleep!!!!!

Happy New Year... btw.

P.S: Missed a bit of my story.. this part includes pictures:



My friend wanted to leave the party so we decided to walk two miles at 12:30am in the cold, snowy night to a restaurant for some hot chocolate and a snack. The restaurant was closed. (did we really think they'd stay open on New Years Eve?) and so we continued walking to her house..  lol... it was pretty funny.

Sudden Urge

  • Dec. 31st, 2007 at 12:35 AM

I don't know why.. but suddenly I've got an urge to start writing in my journal. 

I've never really done much to my own journal.. Usually just post in communities or in other peoples' journals.

I guess it must be because I've been reading a lot of Josie's entries lately. And I just thought it would be really funny to look back at this next year. (No, not tomorrow Emily). Hah. And I get to make my own lame jokes too and laugh at myself=D 

And I guess it's kind of a cool way to start the new year.

Heh. I wonder how long i'll be able to keep this up... I certainly hope I don't become an LJ-addict like some people.

Hmm...It's not like I actually have anything to write about. But I'm great at rambling on.. and i'll fill up my journal in no time.

So today was pretty boring.. I just got home from work. Put together some dinner. Just the same old...

I am wondering now.. why do I space out my entries so much? I suppose its because it's the way my thoughts work. I jump around too much and wayy to quickly. It's all pretty random.

I'm having a get together with some friends on the 5th to celebrate my birthday (January 12th). I haven't done any preparations yet.. And I don't even know if I'll have any money by then=\

Mom made these weird tempeh rolls last night for dinner. She said they were vegetarian. I started eating one....they were filled with a medley of vegetables. And then I discovered some pork rinds. Mom did  a good job at disguising them with the other translucent-white vegetables (raddishes, cabbage, onions). And i had to poke at it for a while in disbelief... thinking it could just be clouds ear (a translucent-white fungus that looks quite a bit look cooked pork rinds) But I'm prettttttyy sure they were pork rinds. I almost gagged when I found out. Cuz I had already eaten a lot of the roll. And it was a biggggg roll. 

I prefer the tempeh rolls from restaurants. Because when they are labelled vegetarian, they have to be. Or they could get in trouble.. right? Well. I couldn't really say anything to mom because she'd make a big fuss, which would result in an argument, screaming.. me crying. 

I don't like to cry..I find that it cuts the hours of my days shorter. LOL. Because my eyes get tired and they hurt after crying.. Which means I can't really do anything anymore and just go to sleep earlier. 

So yeh.. back to my little story. The conclusion is that I don't like weird, new foods that my mom makes. Anything to do with rolls... or wraps.. or fish cake type things.. with meat hidden in them..  Actually it's not even my mom. The other day, I was at my student's house. His mom ordered pizza because she wanted to "celebrate" the holidays with me. The pizza appeared to be vegetarian with lovely roasted veggies on top. But then I look closer and there are little bits of bacon hidden under the vegetables. I told her it was lovely of her to think of me and order pizza and all. But I told her I wasn't going to eat it because I don't eat bacon. She almost force fed me a slice of that pizza. (Even my mom isn't able to do that) She kept insisting that I try a little bit of it, that the crust was perfect... She handed me a piece and I said no thank you. Then she was like "Fine, just throw it away then" in the BITCHIEST voice ever. I ended up eating the crust.. and picking at some of the tomatoes and zucchini... It was pretty gross. 

I feel much safer when food is prepared on it's own.. not mixed with things. Steamed fish. On it's own. Baby bok choi, on it's own. Scrambled eggs.. no bacon or anything mixed in to it. Any fritata- like thing would be kinda scary...

So I still have a problem with some foods.. But I dont see a problem in being a pescetarian. Other than the fact that I have an iron defieciency and my lips have no colour.. But it's okaaayyyyyy... that's what supplements are for. 

Actually.. about eggs. 

I was eating an egg today. And I just realized... I eat eggs now. Whole eggs. For a couple years I used to only eat the white of eggs.. But now I don't seem to want to throw up everytime I eat egg yolks.. That's quite an accomplishment.. I don't really love the idea of it.. But I'll remind myself that I won't die from eating egg yolks.

Otay.. that's all for now.

Told ya I'd ramble on forever.
