DAY #19 - Wednesday - 12/16/09
Why no Day #17-18? Because I did absolutely nothing. Nothing interesting, that is. But I'm gonna do an entire reivew of my day.
I was supposed to wake up to 89.7 FM KSGN - church music. Instead, it's to 90.1 MF Positive Alternative AIR1. This is my type of music! :D It's like rock, less-gospelish church/God music. After the robbery of my precious iPod yesterday, this is the next best thing: church/rock/alternative/emotional music. Perfect. BUT... Speaking of my stolen iPod.
It happened yesterday after the English exam. I was reading Lucky by Alice Sebold and listening to my iPod while people were finishing up their exams. But once everyone was done, most of my friends made a circle of conversation. I felt excluded so I joined them, happily. From my seat, I could see my iPod and book from my line of sight. My friends and I really dived into topics. I forget what they are, but some of them were serious, some of them were fun and perhaps inappropriate. Haha! But once the bell rang, dismissing us for the day, I went to my desk... Only my book and earphones were on my desk! :O NO IPOD. I panicked because I couldn't find it. I remembered that there was this whole group of guys around the area where my desk is. I have my suspects who it is... but I won't be seeing them for a very long time! 3 weeks of Winter Break! And I won't even have 4th period English anymore next semester! Oh, I pray that I can find it, or my thief returns it. It is such a sad day :(
Anyway, my final exams have been tough. It sucks complete ass that I take my harder ones in the morning. Yesterday, Trig and English. Today, Spanish II and PE. My body is incredibly exhausted from the workout. We hadn't done workout in weeks and today I had to work myself vigorously and diligently. I dread the soreness I predict will come. And tomorrow, World History and Chem. I'm so drained in only two days.
After school, I've been going to the public library with Jenna Li. Computers are offline until Thursday, but she and I always have a good time together :) We've been eating junk downstairs. Yesterday, she gave me my XMas gift. It was a necklace and a bracelet. They're both beautiful. I have a feeling I'll be wearing them all the time along with my bracelet with wings that my aunt gave me. Well, we found a series called the Seven Deadly Sins from the Simon Pulse Co. I've been playing Sudoku on her phone. She's been sending herself emoticons from mine. We've been texting eachother silly sentences with no spaces like "zippadeedoodaazippadeeyaaymyohmywhatawo
nderfulday" She's really distracting me from what happens at home.
I'm still so sad about my iPod. I may not show it completely, but there's this kind of... absence. How could someone do this to me? Right in front of me, too? I never did anything... Why? First, the computer monitor, now iPod. The only make-ups I've gotten are new Converse and new church clothese these last two days.
Gosh, Skillet is playing! This is the first time I've ever heard it on the radio! :D And earlier, I heard an ad for Red's "Innocence and Instinct" album. Even though it released in February, but still! My favorite bands on 90.1? This is a miracle!!
But I didn't get to finish watching the TVD marathon tonight :( What did I do? Nothing! I was eating vanilla ice cream downstairs watching TVD while Father was installing the new computer monitor (I mention that now). Then he calls me up and tells me to clean everything! He told me I'm a pig. That I'm becoming like Mom. That is utterly an insult!! Does all of the pain she give me also trade off things? The height is already enough to inherit! I don't need her bitterness!
(Mom enters the room).
She doesn't understand. He doesn't understand. Nobody understands. There are random times when my eyes immediately well up. Why do I cry like this? I hold it all in until I'm alone then I release. It's uncanny, unpredictable. I try to hold it in when I'm alone, but it's involuntary and uncontrollable. I seem to have this constant emptiness or loneliness that never leaves my side. Even when I'm with my friends. I'm like a puzzle piece that can almost fit the puzzle, but not perfectly, not quite there. But almost. The piece fights to fit, but it simply cannot conform. I have plenty of loner times. They just occur. Like I'm missing something. Do my friends feel like this sometimes? Do they?
Tonight, while Father was up here cleaning, I was just on the pull out couch, curled up in a ball, staring at the black hued cloth. Like I was trying to stare myself into the cotton so I can just disappear into that infinite blackness and hide where nobody can find me. Anyway, while... during that moment... as Father continued to work... I had a swelling in my chest or heart. It wasn't painful, but it wasn't pleasant, either. Like there was some gravitational force pressing against the inside of my chest, threatening to burst my chest open. Or... like a harder heartbeat.
I don't know what's wrong with me.
I just have some type of empty feeling. A missing piece.
Was I not loved enough as a child? I didn't live the happiest one.
I've gotta stop. It's 10:29 pm. More exams tomorrow.
Tomorrow, the sun will rise and the heat will radiate into the air. I will wake up and do the routine. Forget all of my home problems at school and not worry with my friends. Enjoy the moment. The last moments. Then school will end and winter break will begin. Three weeks of nothingness. Father working night shift. Mom cooped up somewhere in the room. Justin ignorant. What will I discover in the cold break while I sulk alone?
