I haven't updated this thing in a long, long time. I guess life has just been getting away from me, and nothing has really needed to be said. I'll update a couple of things I guess, it doesn't seem like there will be a lot to say (I always say that, then rant for a page and a half don't I?). Anyway, I'll categorize them so in case you want to skip a portion of my life, feel free.
Boyfriend
I'm still with my boyfriend. I'm quite happy with him, I don't care if I only get to see him once a week, it makes the time we spend together even more special. I got to see his house in the city, and sleep over and wake up next to him quite a few times. There's not any other feeling I'd rather feel more, than just having him sleeping next to me. We've done the deed, a little earlier than I'd have liked to do it but I don't regret it. It was special and I'll remember it. Since then it's become a regular thing, it's the best I've had so far. I feel very comfortable with him, more so than anyone else I've dated up until this point. I feel safe with him, like I won't have to worry about him finding someone else because he's very affectionate and I know he likes me like I like him. Someone once told me, the scent a person gives off is very important in personal relations with other people. No matter how the person looks, acts, dresses, etc. if their natural 'scent' isn't favorable to you, then it's a way your body is telling you it's just not feeling it. I know this to be true because I've encountered people like this. With this guy, I'm in love with the way he smells to me. It's not cologne, it's not shampoo or anything, it's just him. He was sick on my birthday, I lent him my shirt so he could keep warm and when I was leaving it smelt like him. I wound up sleeping with it for two nights because it relaxed me and I got sick for a day or two. Haha, I'm pretty stupid sometimes :] I don't regret it.
Weight Loss
I'm losing more and more weight, now down to 133lbs lost total over 10 months. Now that I'm getting down to my ideal weight, close and closer, with every pound I see a significant difference in my appearance. My neck muscles are becoming more prominent, my arms are looking tinier, my stomach is flattening, I love it.
Birthday
My Birthday just passed too, April 22. I'm now 21 years old. My birthday this year, didn't really feel like my birthday. Maybe it's because I'm having problems with a couple of my friends, but still I just... I dunno. I wasn't pleased with it. I turned 21, and had to study for an Organic Chemistry test I had the next night. I didn't get to go out, I didn't get to do anything. I was hoping someone was planning something for my birthday to surprise me but I guess I was being overly optimistic. I didn't mind the actual day though, I went Tuesday night to see my boyfriend and sleep over until Wednesday morning so I can be with him first on my birthday and wake up next to him. But as for a party, It's not happening. I don't know. I'm just giving up on partying for my birthday or ever getting into that dynamic of life. I'm not a party person. I don't think I ever have been, I'd much rather have a group of close friends together, drinking and playing board games or just talking and doing whatever. I'm going to stop trying to be what I'm not and just relax. This being said, I think I've pissed a lot of my friends off with the way I've been acting the past couple of weeks. I just think I've fallen out of the loop for feigning ignorance towards any problems that they've been having, I should remedy this soon. I've just been having too much go on in my life, too stressed out to care about any other drama I don't need.
Family
My family is still a hard thing for me to talk about. I'm growing increasingly worried about my mother over any other member of my family. I come home and all I hear her talk about is winning the lotto. "William, don't plan anything for next week, when I win lotto, we're going to Atlantic city for your birthday, we're going to have this and..." etc. rambles of grand plans for when she wins lotto. I thought it was that one stint but then she keeps going on and on about it. "Sorry we couldn't do anything for your birthday but I'm winning lotto this week..." I keep telling her I don't care, I'm not worried nor am I upset that the family didn't do something elaborate for my birthday. We're not that poor, we can't be that poor... she worries me about everything that'll happen in the future. I also hate the fact that she gives my little brother money. My little brother is a drug dealer. He has plenty of spare cash. I found a picture on our home computer that had bags and bags of weed, and coke all arranged and lined up with like stacks of money lying all around. He has cash, yet he still has the nerve to ask my mother for money. We don't have a lot right now, why can't he understand it like I do? Also, my mother is drinking now. She always has I guess but I'm just noticing it now, more so today when she opened a 6-pack and had two beers while relaxing int he back yard tanning. It was only like 1-2pm so idk... I'm just worried about her a lot. It makes me sad to here her talking about winning lottery so highly now... she has always talked about it but never like this. On the way back to school today she made me stop and buy her a ticket because I'm lucky and then she knows she's gonna win if I buy it... God I hope she wins something... I can't take much more of this type of talk.
Issues with the Room
Last but probably the most influential factor in my life right now is the issues with the roomies. It's been a while since I've spoken to Dan, Joe or Angelo and honestly, I feel indifferent about the whole thing. I mean since then, I've gotten to realize who my friends are, and I've come to the conclusion that I'm an enemy of the whole room. I've been thinking a lot about it since I found out that they all talk about me behind my back. All of them, no exceptions. I wouldn't mind if they said the normal things "What a bitch, I hate that faggot, what a loser" I can take all that crap, but all I hear is that I'm a drama whore who loves drama who always has to eat up drama. That's all good and dandy, it's the default insult when dealing with a gay person and in the past, I'll give it to them it's warranted. I've dealt with things in the past a lot more melodramatically than I have with this situation. This situation I've shut my mouth, dealt with this issue by myself and talked to anyone who said "No I really want to know the story because I don't want to see you upset" and anyone who wanted to remain out, remained out of the situation. I've told them I wanted to remain cordial because I didn't want to make the rest of the year hell and that I want to do this in a mature way. However, they were the ones who decided to ignore me and take the other route. Yet I'll still get all the blame. I've come to the conclusion I don't give a shit anymore. I realized why Dan and them decided to just ignore me, it's because they can. You see, when I try ignoring people it's Me vs the people. When they try ignoring me, it's them AND the people vs Me. They still have everyone on their side, even the people who are remaining 'impartial' to the whole situation. I can't blame them I guess. I've realized every year there was always a main enemy that we all allied against. In my opinion, and to my knowledge, Freshman year was Jerry, until he became no threat, then it was Christian. He was eliminated in the transition to Sophomore year where then it became Kun until he moved out. Then there was no one, until it started with me I guess. I messed up down the line where me and Dan started having arguments. Then I guess my fate was sealed. I was next in line. Like an idiot, I realized I wouldn't be happy... I was just so afraid. So afraid of being alone, of having no one once I left the only people I've associated with primarily for two whole years up until that point. Junior year started nice enough, I tried my best to just hold back any negative emotions I had towards anyone, to choke back my feelings to see if I could just find that happiness I found. However, I found many new friends through my job, and through my new outlook on life, being a lot lighter than I was. I found new strength and I found myself, the person I abandoned coming into college, the person who knew who he was, and knew how to be friendly. The person I branded as a loser and held back. I thank my new friends, and my old friends for showing me who I was again, and giving me strength. Second semester Junior year I kept making new friends, and I found new romance through my boyfriend. The 'incident' happened and I thought I would crumble. It really effected me greatly... and I know that they all attribute it to me being dramatic, but I don't really care any more. It really hurt me and I did break down, I did fall. I didn't know what to do, but my friends were there, to bring me back up. Especially my boyfriend during that time. He wasn't my boyfriend at the time but, it's why I feel so close to him I think. During that time he helped me out tremendously. He was there for me, and gave me strength. All my friends were, they all boosted me up. It was in that moment, I felt like I can make it through anything I ever had to. They still give me strength, and that's why I'm moving away next year. I know that, I can be open and free with anyone I need to. I'm not a hard person to get along with by any standards, I don't feel anyway. But I'm looking forward to getting out of here. I thought I could retain at least on friend from freshman year, from my past. The best year I had at college by far but it seems that everyone's drifted from me, since then.
Prediction
I was reading over my old entries a while ago, and I realized I made a prediction, long ago, freshman year. "Haha, we're all so close, we say it'll be forever, wouldn't it be ironic if by Senior year, we all hate eachother and don't speak?" That was what I said. That came true by Sophomore year. Erzen didn't care for some of my room mates, and apparently has stopped being fond of me so he stopped coming around, Christine found other friends with her sorority so she's never around. Corry has found he own friends as well, no need for us. I remember all of them asking me to come out Sophomore year, but me always rejecting them because I wanted to spend time getting to know my roomies better. Getting closer with the people I felt the least close with. I wanted nothing more than to keep a bond with them going. I always had a fear, since freshman year. I pictured me being alone senior year. Which, pretty much is coming true. I swear I'm clairvoyant sometimes. However, this is different. I pictured myself, Senior year, in a single room somewhere, my phone never ringing, no one to talk to, just being isolated and alone. Emo, right? I dunno, I always have a distinct fear of being alone. However, it's not like that at all. I'm thinking of getting a single room, just for the convenience however, I don't think that's going to happen, I don't like the corridor idea. But I know wherever I'm living, I have friends. I'm not going to be alone. I have people who care about me and care about what's going on in my life. Who actually enjoy my company and think I make life interesting. Even if I'm moving away from the people I've been with, in the sense I'm alone in the next move. But by no means, am I alone with everything.
I'll pull through, I'll see another day. No one can bring me down, or break me. I know who I am, finally. I called it for being long. My boyfriend is here now anyway so this is a good time to end it. I need to get ready to see him~
