Okay, so I have a loose idea on what I need to spend my checks. My first two checks I need to buy a new bass. Rather, I WANT to buy a new bass. Here's a few I have my eye one;
( Looot's of bass stuff talk down here. Skip if you don't give a flying fuck.Collapse )So my birthday is thursday, and I just found out that my dad and stepmom are most likely NOT doing shit for me. Fuckin' awesome! My birthdays suck. Last year I played some D&D at the gaming shop, before it went from cool black Chris to the hot latino Chris who ran the store into the ground. I almost got hit by a car! I actually had a break down in the store because it just wasn't going well at all. I got a few material things, but that was the day I finally decided Lacy wasn't a good friend nor a good person for me to be around. To much bad energy and self absorbedness. I'm all sad right now about that...
The birthday before that I got all my presents a month ahead of time, and I spent the whole day alone in my moms place. I remember I got cake that my mom and little sister bought me, that made me happy :)
The year before that, or maybe it was two years ago, I was supposed to play D&D all day with my friend Lacy and Ashliegh at Lacy's place (we had a custom for a really long while there that we'd all stay the night at Lacy's place since her birthday and mine were so close together, she's fourteen days older than I am). But I decided to be a fuckin' lazy teenager and not go, and felt depressed all day.
I feel really bad right now, about my ex-friend Lacy. I haven't said happy birthday to her this year, and I feel so so guilty. But I can't, because if I do I'll want to try being her friend again, but I can't do that. She's just not a good person. She's ... I can't get into it because I'll just get really depressed and probably cry, because I put so much into that fucking friendship. She did too, but she just couldn't grow up.
And this all reminds me of the whole shit with Ashleigh. We're not friends anymore either, and she was one of my if not THE best friend I had throughout high school. But she was never much of a good friend either, and I used to think it wasn't her fault. But after high school, it was. She, gah, fuck it. I'm just really really fucking depressed over the whole thing.
I was one of those people in high school that believed that I'd be best friends with all my friends in high school forever. That all I needed were those friends. No. Never talked to Janet after high school. I like Kristine still, we talk, but not often. Megan and I talk frequently, but because of the thing betwen Megan and Lacy and Now-Megans-Boyfriend Chris it's like we only ever talk ABOUT Lacy. Same thing with Dee, we only ever talk about Lacy and Ashliegh (Ashleigh being her "sister" since junior high until she started dating Dee's ex Aaron). I saw Bo one time after high school when he gave me a ride home from band practice like last year, but that was it. I see Hrair a lot, on the bus or one time when I saw him at the mall. But we never really talk about anything important.
The only friends I can say I have are either my band mates, Alex, and a few online people who I'll probably never actually meet in real life. And the OneWordSolution crew, but that barely counts anymore. I was a bit psychotically clingy when I hung out with them since I was such a screw up in high school. I was pretty much just a fuckin' weird weird WEIRD kid, and I'll only ever be like that around them.
Then there's Jay who was like my best friend for a while there, but then it just fizzled out. Totally different values we had, different morals. Just stopped, basically, after I quit the band. Which means that it was never really there outside of us being in a band together and my unfortunately being clingy'ish.
I love people, I love having friends, I love having people over at my place, I love going to peoples places. But the people I always come across seem to just be the worst kind of people. I'm wary about who I call friends now because once I call someone a friend, they disappoint me terribley, or it stops. Fuck.
Friends suck. Family sucks. How do I manage? Forced optimism! I just don't think about it to much, I learned that growing up. Growing up sucked bad, having an older sister like I did who was mentally unbalanced and acted out really helped. Having an abusive stepdad really helped. Growing up with stoner parents helped. Knowing drug addicts through my entire childhood helped. All that shit, that sucky sucky shit. It really helped to teach me to not think about things to hard. If I did, I'd crack and crumble. I've done it before, I can't do it again.
I force stupidity on myself. I'm capable of so much stuff, but I've held myself back so much in life I've learned to give up. But I hate giving up, so I just don't try. I'm slow but very quick at the same time, which sucks.
I dunno. This all started out as being a very upbeat post, trying to be happy, but it just went sour after Lacy came up, as many things unfortunately do... I'm gonna post later after I stop being so sad about what I intended to...
By the way, PKSan Diego fucking sucked ass for me, though everyone else had fun.
