ahhh. hey kids
found this note in the annals of my email account:
fuck i'm so sad. this book is depressing me, but i am depressed because i will need to take all of emmanuel's things and put them in a box, and put it in my trunk, and take the box to riverside, and give them to him. and say they don't belong to me, they belong to you, your things. not our things. yours.
but i feel that it must be this way, or otherwise i will never be happy.
to shy from pain is to be afraid of it, and i shall not be scared. i shall be strong. i have to be. but why this utter, incomprehensible, oppressive weight of dread fear, a slow smoldering loneliness like two eyes placed steadily on a vantage just beyond my ken?
lo lo lo.
I am shouting for joy in the cavernous halls of newfound independence, but the cries echo back in empty tones of loneliness.
i want to be like mae west. she's so glamorous, so fierce. she is every gay boy's wet dream.
i want to be unattached from everything.
i wonder what he kisses like. aagghhh. i hate my stupid brain. how it's connected to my stupid vagina. why wasn't i born a man, or lesbian. i wouldn't have so many problems.
i'm absolutely useless. i forget everything. i'm so useless it's painful to type this shit out. roaaarrr.
i can't even send anything out correctly. i wasted fucking twenty five fucking dollars for nothing, because i left out documents. fuck. nobody else is this idiotic. why can't i follow instructions.
easy, peasy instructions. just read the list and do what it says. why is that so hard.
and i call myself smart. i deign to sign forms. fuck that shit. i'm an idiot. grade f. idiot. how pathetic.
i don't deserve to be with anyone. least with emmanuel. fuck all the rest.
fuck this shit. fuck me. gah.
i was turning off the lights in the living room, and i thought to myself, innocuously, "is missy asleep?"
of course she is.
and that's when it really fucking hit me. this really fucking sucks. i held her beautiful head in my hands, and she was already gone. it was the first time i had held someone who had passed. she was my old lady, my golden girl. i'm never gonna see that same silly face again. i'll no longer have a reason to buy tennis balls because she never returns them to me.
i miss my dog. fuck the chihuahua. i want my old lady back.
