Holidays

I am genuinely surprised that I had the patience to navigate all the way to a page for a new blog post because oh my gosh the Internet has never been slower due to my silly mother downloading an entire season of Men In Trees at once and DEVOURING any remnants of downloads we may have left.

But I'm going on holidays tomorrow anyway so when I come back I shall have Internetage.

I'm going to Callala Beach which is about 2 hours down. We're taking the doggie as there is a dog beach not too far away. Please miss me lots xD

Today, I made a chocolate cake.
And I KNOW I have a new years resolution about less junk food but I swear! I'm doing so well. I deserve a treat. =} And there's some cream in the fridge that I can whip to ice it with so that it doesn't go off whilst we're on holidays. Haha, that's actually not a bad excuse.

Oh, and my sister got her Ps yesterday, so now she's all awesome. And she appointed me as her personal navigator but I got her lost already :L:L. It's not MY fault it was a no right turn and we had to keep driving and end up in the never never. I think I did quite well, considering.

Anyways, that's all I have to say. I will miss you all. But not this sssllllooooowwww Internet. Be good and stay safe (unless you're May Lyn, and then you stay stafe.)
Live long, and prosper.

After all of that, the part I hate most is that you told her first, instead of me.

Confession #11: I was not okay.

“Gravity doesn't exist. The Universe simply sucks.”

Someone is always better than you. – soulcages

I get it now.
Jealousy.
At least, I think that's what this it.
I mean, I'm no expert on the matter.
I just always thought it was an emotional pain.
But that's not true.
It's a physical pain.
It's where all of your joints lock up, and just laying down puts you in an unbelievable agony.
You can't feel your knees because of the pain running through each of them.
It's where your stomach feels like there are little bugs inside.
Slowly, eating away at everything inside.
Everything you have left.
And you feel empty.
It's where your back feels like it's been set on fire.
It's the pain that makes you lie awake at night, in your bed. Because sitting stil hurts.
So you sit up, and you rush through the thousand things you wish you could say.
Things that would make them understand how you feel.
And after a while, the pain stops.
Until you lay back down.
And allow it to consume you again.
Allow it to tear you apart from the seems again.


At least; I think that's jealousy.

Either that or I should really see a doctor.

Lonely.

Confession #73: I miss you more than I should. I dream about you more than I should. I love you more than I should. That's what people tell me. I disagree.

“If you get between me and the things I love, I will ask you politely to move.
If you get between me and the people I love, you will move.”

Talking to you makes me sane. – Poodahead



Ok, so I've been... basicallly, a bitch.... for the past few days now. I've been in the most feral mood ever. And I feel like venting. But, I'm not annoyed at anyone in particular. I just get really really angry REALLY easily.

I think it has something to do with my new years resolutions.
Because I said that I would not sleep until I'd done something good for someone else. Which totally conflicts with the resolution of Do things for myself, not anyone else. I'm trying so hard to do my one good thing (and let me tell you, I am totally on track with that) that I'm ignoring myself. And I'm not happy. I want to be happy.

So yeah, that's my whinge for the day. I have to take my dog to the vet (again) today. He has a weird lump near his tail. =S I will come back and whinge again later.

In 2010 I will be turning: 17 (holy shit)

Something I want to happen in 2010: be in joannie's class for once

Something I don't want to happen in 2010: become sad

My theme song to 2009 would be: i don't really know.

My favorite colour in 2009: green =)

My best friends in 2009: AMY Jenny Lisa Joannie Judy Victor

Honestly, will you miss 2009: yeah, i will, i actually really liked that year, i think... a lot of myself changed. i actually grew up a lot. which still terrifies me. but at t he same time, i feel... responsible. and it's pretty cool.

Terrified

I'm so sick of those early morning phone calls.
They all scare me.
The urgency in your voice.
How frantic you sound.
The fact that you don't want to talk to me, only him.
I always answer.
You'd think I'd be used to it by now.
But I doubt I ever will be.
People tell me you're overreacting.
But I know what it's like.
Sometimes they don't
But I've received those phone calls.
I can tell now.
I am terrified.

Happy Today!

It's finally here.
2010.
It's so... big, and scary.
And I think, something's meant to be different.
But it doesn't feel any different.
I'm just as scared and confused about everything.
And a list of stupid resolutions aren't going to change anything.
And I've already broken the nailbiting one. At about 1 o'clock this morning.

---

And... I miss my family.
No one's ever around. Between work, and visiting my grandfather, and making plans... we just don't see each other. And now whenever we do see each other, we all tell each other off. (Although I did lose $75)
I think I'll enjoy our holiday in a few days.
Simply because there will be no distractions, we'll get to be us. The whole time.
...that will be nice.

---

I told you I was scared. And you comforted me. You told me I didn't have to be scared. You told me that sometimes I should just give in, and do what I want. But that's even scarier. And this is something that has been scaring and confusing me since we started joking about your birthday. And I haven't told you, but I feel like if I don't give in, I'll disappoint you too much. And I always disappoint you. And I'm sick of it. And I wish I could make you happy without everyone in the world thinking differently of me. And usually, I can. But sometimes...

Things I probably won't do next year

I'm finally getting around to writing a list of my resolutions.
Well, I will be :L
This could take a while. (Edit: It took 3 days :L)

1. Learn to love myself despite my past.
I think that's the hardest one, maybe. It's something I've failed at for a while now. And I keep trying too. Well, halfheartedly. I mean, could there ever be something I do or think or feel that is unforgiveable? Something that means I can never love myself? What if that something has already happened?

2. Do things for myself, not anyone else
I don't usually do what I want, I do what I should do, or what other people want me to do. And then, most of the time, it's not what they want anyway, it's what they think they want. So I may as well do what I want, at least for some of the time.

3. Eat less junk food
Which is something I've had on the list for a few years now. But it never seems to happen. In fact, if anything, I'm getting worse as I get older. But I'm gonna try again. Or you know, maybe I'll excercise, or somethign like that.

4. Actually stop biting my fingernails
I've lost count of the times this has been on my list. My nails are too weak to grow now because of how much I've bitten them. I really need to stop... eventually.

5. Smile everyday
I was going to put "smile more" but Nikki says I smile too much as it is. I don't think there is such thing as smiling too much. And I don't think she sees me all the time. Then again, a couple of months ago she told me she thought I was depressed. Go figure. Anyways, I just want to smile everyday. Not too much, not too little.

6. Admit when I'm wrong
I don't do that half as often as I should. I don't like being wrong. I really really dislike being wrong. But I should still admit to it. And I'm going to start.

7. Don't sleep until I've done something good for someone else
Because when I'm laying in bed at night, I want to focus on the good things I've done that day. The good things for others. So I'm going to do good for others.

---

Oh, and I read a new years resolution from someone who wanted to get more traffic to her site in the new year. So I recorded the address, and I haven't looked at the page next year. So if you guys want to, in the new year, head to jessicadelfino.com and try and make her resolution come true, it would be much appreciated =D

Happy New Year sunshines =)

A plea

This is my 350th post. Yep, it's a big one, sort of. But I'm not writing it. Brady is. I want you to hear her story.

My name is brandy. And I have a blog.

And a plea.

I use my blog to showcase the crazy I meet everyday, share the stories of the kids I teach and document my love for tequila, dairy products and the abdominal muscles of Ryan Reynolds. Rarely do I talk about personal issues on my blog- as personal as the dude that I adore (who I actually met through my blog- single ladies, let that be a very good reason to blog, the possibility of meeting someone as wonderful as my man), but I need your help. And it involves my dude.

He's a guy who made math comics for my class, so they would love learning about addition. He's the kinda guy who sends my friends gift cards when they are having hard times, who remembers every story I ever told him, who was the first person I celebrated with when I got a teaching job. He's the guy who sent flowers to me at school- dozens of my favourite pink roses just because he loves me. He's a guy who has spent a year patiently explaining (and re-explaining) everything there is to know about football during the important games when silence is preferred. He's made me word puzzles and comics and stayed up late playing Scrabble with me (even though I beat him almost every time). He's listened to me cry about school and family and jobs. He is everything I never knew I needed and everything I always knew I wanted.

The holidays have hit us hard. He's recently been told he may have something called multiple myeloma- an incurable cancer, that gives a person an average of five years of continued life. Though this news has came as a shock, he continues to be exactly who has always been- spending his time worrying about me, rather than worrying about himself. He's the most selfless individual I know- (he stayed late on Christmas Eve to work, so his co-workers could leave early) and a post like this would never be something that he would promote or encourage but when I'm overwhelmed and feeling helpless, the blogging community has always given me tremendous support and comfort, two things I desperately need at this time.

As I write this, the future is uncertain and we aren't sure what's happening. He'll need to see an oncologist soon, to verify what's going on in his body. My hope is that everyone who reads this think positive thoughts and if you are a person who prays, could you add him to your list? (You can refer to him as 'brandy's hot awesome dude'). If you don't pray, please keep him in your heart.This cancer is only a possibility and I believe that the prayers and positive thoughts of people can make sure it never becomes a reality.

I want to give a big thank you to the blog owner who scraped their original blog plans and graciously put this up. My goal is to get as many people as possible to see and read this post. If you are reading this and want to help, copy and paste my plea into your blog or send a link through twitter, so more people can keep him in their thoughts. I would be so very grateful (even more grateful than I am to my friend who first showed me the picture of Ryan Reynolds on the cover of Entertainment Weekly. If you haven't seen it, google it. You. Are. Welcome).

I realize this all sounds dramatic, a Lifetime movie in the making- but this is life. Right now. And I'm throwing away any hint of ego and am humbly asking for you to pray or think kind thoughts. If you are able to pass this on, thank you and if you know anything regarding MM- please email me (my email is on my blog). This isn't a call for sympathy or a plea for pity. It's just one girl hoping you can think positive thoughts for the person she adores. If my current heartache provides you with anything, let it be with the reminder that life is short, love is unbending and no one knows what could happen next. Maybe it is silly, but I really do believe that positive thoughts can make a huge difference. Thank you for reading this and if you haven't already? Please tell someone you love them today.


I love you guys, thanks for reading.

Reflection

My family celebrated Chrstimas yesterday, so today is just another day to me.
But have a great Christmas guys, and come read this tomorrow.

Confession #44: I want to go back in time and do better. I want to make you happier. You were always so sad, and I didn't know what to do.

"I sat on my floor this evening and stared at myself. I have no idea who was looking back at me and it was the most terrifying thing I have ever encountered"

When I'm alone, I rarely smile. – palefacelace



The scary thing is, that quote is true.

Yesterday, I looked in the mirror,

and I didn't recognise the face looking back.

And it's not because I don't know who I am,

it is because I have spent so long afraid of mirrors, and cameras.

That I have no idea what I look like.

And that terrifies me.



You’re all tangled up in other people.

Their worries have become your worries.

Their expectations of you have become

the expectations you have for yourself.

Their dreams are slowly turning into your nightmares.


“I have this fear that one day you’ll finally get a good look at me and

I’m going to disappoint you, cause you’ll see that I’m not as strong or as good as you think I am,

and I’m afraid that it will change the way you think about me.”




I was always waiting...

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!

I hope you guys have a fab day, and get stacks of prezzies. And eat lots too, without feeling bad about it, because it’s Christmas. And have lots of chocolate (do that every day).

And I have to work today. =( But then, it’s not that long, and people will be in a happy, Christmassy mood. So it’s not so bad. Smile at strangers today! And tomorrow! The only time of year they ALL smile back.

And, I’m not really sure what Christmas is all about for you, but for me, it’s family. So celebrate family! Or like, Jesus or something :L

Alright, well, MerryChristmas! Enjoy the song =D


Come they told me

Then He smiled at me

Spread the joy

Confession #3: I'm not sure if I'm more scared that I am or am not ready

“The greatest feeling in the world

is to be around someone

who wants to hold you,

kiss your forehead,

be around you,

call you at night,

and see you smile

But I think what’s better than that,

is finding someone who does it all,

because he wants to see you happy.”

"Woke up just to see you" - WhatTheWorldDoesn'tKnow

I always say yes. That's why we've planned our wedding.

All I need now is a ring. =P

Oh, and such a tyranny it is, too.

Conscious thought is so restraining, it means things have to add up and make sense.

Sometimes, I don't want things in my head to make sense.

That's when I listen to music.

And that's why I've picked our perfect lullaby

Hehe, your eyes are beautiful darling.

They shine so beautifully in sunlight.

And they change colour in different lighting.

And they have a little shimmer in them, when you're really happy.

Like, when you smile your happy smile.

With your fang over your mouth =p

I consider myself a positive person. I mean, I'm generally pretty sunshiney. I spread joy where I can. And I believe that I smile to a stranger can spread through the world. If you walk past me on the street, I will wave.
If I serve you at work, we'll be best friends in under 30 seconds. And gradually, I'm going to make the world happier. Starting with me. =)

Yes, I love rainy days. I love rainy nights too.

Sleeping to rain is the most peaceful experience ever.

Hearing the pitter patter of rain against my window makes me happy.

Blackouts are good too. Because they mean candles.

I'm a big candle lover.

Candles make me feel safe. =)

Wish you were here,

Fabulous



I may or may not have just published the last post. Approminately 4.7 seconds ago.
I don't that has any relevance to when the next can be started, though, and I'm in the need of a mood swing. So I'm going to be lovey dovey =D=DD. You guys really don't have to read this :L



And sometimes I leave because you're hurting me with your words. and sometimes I leave because I don't want to hurt you with mine. Sometimes I just don't want you to see that I'm crying. Sometimes I leave because the halftime bell rang. Sometimes I leave because we have to go to class. But every single time I walk away, I just wish you'd follow.



You are a beautiful, amazing, selfless human being. And no matter how many times I tell you, you will never believe me. And you maintain that I am embarrassed by you. But you are the best thing to ever happen to me. And I know that I will never deserve you (I'm just hoping you never notice).



And you will never be perfect, because you are perfect for me. Perfect people don't have conversations with their eyebrows, or tell stupid jokes, or talk for hours about trees, and coolosity, and music. Perfect people aren't obsessed with their computers, and the highlight of their week isn't kicking their brother's arse at guitar hero. So thank you so much for never being perfect. Just perfect for me.



Sometimes I think I love you too much, because when you're not there, I get very depressed. Things hurt more when you're not there to hold my hand or hug me. Life can be very painful. Life without you is even worse.

Chocolate

Confession #1:I'm not really ashamed of myself. I just know that you're ashamed of me. And that hurts.

"Love always find a path, if it doesn't, wasn't Love. "

"Fuck Prince Charming. Be my Spider-man?" – JustAFaceInTheCrowd


please don't be my spiderman. be my chocolate. and i will be your nintendo 64.




Today I am infinite.
I went a tiny little HUGE bit high this arvo after Prad's party.
What? Me? High? Never!
But yea, I was just alittle psycho.
Because I had this song stuck in my head.
And it made me think of you.
And thinking of you makes me smile.
And then I sneezed twice.
And then I just went nuts :L:L
I love you.



I have been trying to convince myself not to rant about you but OMGSH YOU ARE SUCH AN ANNOYING PIECE OF SHIT. I mean, yeah, I like talking to you, sure. But not when you're like that! Because then I feel all bleh on the insides, and then I start questioning my moral fibre (ty hp), and then I go batshit crazy. And it's all because you feel the need to be such a bloody prick and mention things that you know make people feel uncomfortable, but that's why you do it. Because you're crazy and twisted, and want to see how people take it, and how they will react, and I gave you a positive reaction, sure, but I didn't get it.
...And I don't think anyone else even noticed.



SPEAKING of not noticing things.
What. The. Hell?
I can't believe that you are so coldhearted and selfabsorbed to not NOTICE. And worse than that, you told me off. You didn't give a shit, and THEN YOU TOLD ME OFF. Which just backs up my point and it makes me like you less, for not caring at all about me. But I feel GUILTY for liking you less. Because you make me feel like it's my fault that you don't care. And now I keep questioning myself EVERY SINGLE SECOND because I feel like I OWE YOU.
And you know what, you didn't even notice the TOTAL INEQUALITY let alone CARE. No one noticed. No one cared. I can't believe you're all such arseholes.



You are so bloody up yourself. I mean, seriously, you think you're some amazing popular intelligent person and that you deserve all this crap. And truthfully, you don't deserve it. Because quite frankly you're an idiot. And you piss people off. And your friends have started to bitch about you. Yeah, no kidding. And I can't help but join in...



I don't know what I'm supposed to do.




---


Tell me what to do, and I will do it. I will make it right I promise. Your wish is my command. Tell me how to fix everything. Tell me how to deal with it. STOP TELLING ME THAT YOU DON'T LIKE HOW THINGS ARE, AND TELL ME HOW YOU WANT THEM TO BE. Just talk to me. Stop upsetting me, stop making me cry. Stop telling me how upset you are. And tell me what to do about it.

Free.

Confession#18: Usually, when I get alonetime, I cry. Today, I've been smiling. Thanks for crying with me today. xD

"I think God was drunk and on high when he thought up me"

"I love you. Don't walk away." – Random Ninja



Okay, yeah, I disagree with everything in that picture. =L
Anyways.
I have a feeling that todat is an important day in my life. Because today, everything worked out. Without having any actual schoolwork to do, I managed to successfully balance the other three spheres of life.



And today, I was happy. Things have just been looking up lately. I think Christmas just makes me happy. (Sorry for celebrating Christmas before your birthday darling D=)



I feel like I have the confidence to be me lately. I don't have to lie about who I am, or pretend to be anyone other than myself. I am allowed to love who I am. And I love that about this new me. But I still have the feeling that I'm not the girl I used to be. And she would hate this new me. But she hated herself as well, so maybe she's just difficult to please.



I feel like I can breathe now. I feel like all my troubles have gone away. I think thast resulted from the conversations I've been having lately. I don't feel guilty about anything. I have nothign to hide. Admitting things to myself has been a big help with this. I love feeling so free.



*rare moments of honesty*
#1: it's really quite simple actually. you made me cry. he makes me smile. the choice was obvious.
#2: i want to tell you everything so you can tell me i have nothign to worry about. but what if you don't?
#3: i tried to spend more time with you lately. i hope you notice.
#4: you can say whatever the hell you want to me about my poor attitude to life. but i still smile more.
#5: i still want you to involve me in your conversations. you still hate me. i think i hate you now too.
#6: i think he was right about you and me. not totally seriously, just in a nice, funny way.
#7: when i wake up in the morning, i try to think of ways to make you proud of me. i know that you watch me throughout the day, and please know that you're still alive in my heart. in an ironic way, your death has brought us closer, and i love you more than ever now. i wish you could see me today, i know you really would be proud.



Wish you were here.
