Crazy People Help Each Other

November 9, 2006 - Thursday

Current mood: calm
Category: Friends

I had a brief but enlightening conversation with a very close friend this afternoon and I figured out why I am the Cowardly Lion, the Terminator and Ugly Betty all rolled into one...

I'm human.

I'm not alone in my fear...not alone in my insecurities. I am not the only person who struggles with temporary bouts of insanity. I'm not completely duplicitous. I get scared because I've been hurt and I'm brave because I've had successes. I'm silly because I can be and sometimes I'm a brat for the same stupid reason, but this is who I am. I love REALLY hard and REALLY intense. I get hurt REALLY easy but heal just as easily, too. I am strong and fragile at the same time and so far I am one of only two people in the world like me. I am incredibly wonderful and ridiculously incredible.

I'm a lot of things but I'm not fake. You can't fake this kind of craziness.

I've tried to change it. Tried to explain it. Hopefully this time I'm done with all that. Hopefully this time I won't be scared for too long. Hopefully this time I'll just be.

This is me.

Thanks Casey, for helping a fellow crazy person.

I love you,
Aunt Steph

I Ain't Skeered... Ain't Afeered a Nuthin'!

November 7, 2006 - Tuesday I aint skeered...aint afeered a nuthin! Current mood: confused Category: Life I've got some serious issues... I'm the Cowardly Lion, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Ugly Betty all rolled into one. How can one person be such a wimp in some areas, a totally confident terminator in other areas and such a sweet and humble mix in still other areas? Where does this come from? It's not multiple personality disorder (despite what some of you might think). I'm not Sybil; I'm not losing time and blacking out and taking on other personas...even though I do enjoy a good game of pretend now and then...with accents. I often joke about being my own conundrum; my own anomaly, but sometimes it's not really ...

A rainbow colored, abscessed, monster of a thing.

Originally started October 2018. Gosh, I've needed to write for such a long time. I can't even get into journaling for some reason. I don't even care if anyone reads this, that's not the point... I just need to talk - unhindered and unfettered - talk. Y'know how when you get a splinter under your fingernail and you can see the thing so you know it's there? So you get your extraction tools: fingernail clippers, tweezers, maybe a sewing needle or push pin, if you're my dad you get a pocket knife... if you're over 35 you get your reading glasses... you get peroxide or rubbing alcohol... everything you need and then you go in for minor surgery. You poke around and scrape the underside of the nail. You pull at something dark and then realize it's just dirt. You pick at it a little too hard and maybe it bleeds a little. Then finally you pull the smallest of little slivers out and think, "Yes! I got it." You look closely at the shard of wood a...

On Again Off Again

August 23, 2007 - Thursday On Again Off Again Current mood: tired Category: Life If I believed in astrology I would make some kind of comment about how today the moon must have been in the 6th house and Saturn was surely aligning with Pluto because why else would my day have felt so "off" and ended up with me in tears? After all, any true music proficionado would know that an ON day would consist of the moon being in the SEVENTH house and JUPITER aligning with MARS... A.K.A. the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius. I do not, however, believe in astrology. I am most certainly a fan of the 5th Dimension (Marilyn McCoo was so foxy back in the day!) but I'm not a fan of crediting or blaming my "off" days on the alignment...
