  <link>http://erinlorraine.livejournal.com/14024.html</link>
  <description>I feel like I keep hitting a brick wall. This week has been a terrible terrible week. Full of stress and just lots and lots of shit.&lt;br /&gt;I hate my job... to the point where I&apos;m thinking about quitting...but I can&apos;t afford to quit.  I need this room and board thing...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then i think about the things Im so upset about, and I think maybe I&apos;m overreacting... so then I just feel worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Larry is up here. Everytime that happens, I get thrown into a mood.... its like his very presence on this campus alters my whole world. This is my space.....why the fuck does he have to invade it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s upsetting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and Ashley never said a god damn word. she knew he was coming...she gave him the fucking directions, and she didnt say a fucking word bout it. who does that. freaken bitch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh and i hate my boss. hes an asshole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;baahhhhhhh im so moody and feeling terrible.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i hate this week. i want to crawl into bed and sleep and let this all past.</description>

  <title>lost again</title>
  <link>http://erinlorraine.livejournal.com/13025.html</link>
  <description>Of course this happens. I stop writing about him. I stop thinking about him everyday. I start hanging out with other guys, thinking that maybe I can actually feel something for somebody else again..&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s like he knew. It seriously feels like he knew I was getting over him finally, after 2 months of feeling like shit, 2 months of thinking, maybe perhaps some things were my fault, two months of trying to tell myself, it&apos;s him and not me... I finally start to be me again.&lt;br /&gt;and he decides he wants to come back into my life.&lt;br /&gt;He tells me he&apos;s sorry, he doesnt know why he reacted the way he did the night of the fight, he says... &quot;i dont like to answer questions about my past, i don;t know why.... and you love to ask questions... i don&apos;t know... i&apos;m stupid... i love you, so I should have just answered the questions&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*sigh*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the last thing I needed to hear was that he loves me still.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;he tells me he thinks about me all the time, he said he tried to forget...the first month he said he thought he was happy without me, but he realized he wasnt, and that he misses me and wants me and blah blah blah&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yes it&apos;s nice to hear. it&apos;s what i&apos;ve wanted to hear for 2 months. that he loves me, that he thinks he cant live without me...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but i dont want to be with him..... i cant be with him. it&apos;s like he&apos;s two different people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;one minutes he&apos;s telling me nice things and we are having a great conversation.....then he starts being an ass, thinking he&apos;s making jokes..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;within an hour of this conversation of him telling me he misses me and stuff he says&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;i want to fuck you so bad&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;what a beautiful statement....who does that... who fucks up the way he did, says the things he said about me, and then when he&apos;s trying to &quot;win me back&quot; says shit like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;larry does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;which makes me think, how the hell did i ever date him, or think that i loved him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;how could i ever love someone who says in the middle of a serious conversation &quot;well yeah, you know i dated you because you have amazing boobs&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;who does that shit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but still. i dont just ignore him. i dont stop answering calls, or not respond to him IMs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I sit there, and I talk to him.... hanging on to that little piece of him that I actually like and miss......that very little piece..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I almost wish he had found someone new, that he had gotten over me......so&lt;br /&gt;I could have continued on my path of disliking him and getting over him...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but he threw a wrench in my plans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know i dont want him back... i know it. I Wont go back into a relationship like that whhere I was often upset. I cant do it to myself, no matter how much I miss certain aspects of our relationship... my friends would fucking kill me...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my mom would kill me after i told her how upset and how broken down I was after larry and I had that fight...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but why cant i stop talking to him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i like the attention. i like being told how beautiful i am, i like that he wants me....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but i am toying with him......which makes me feel like a bad person. he thinks that he has a chance with me...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but i will never date him again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i need to stop talking to him though. first love never goes away right? no matter how stupid and blind it was....&lt;br /&gt;when i talk to him... i remember the good things.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;its not until later when i remember all the bad.</description>

  <title>sigh</title>
  <link>http://erinlorraine.livejournal.com/12494.html</link>
  <description>I see something in him...that is in my dad...&lt;br /&gt;something that bugs me about my dad, that has been the cause of many fights between my mom and my dad... whether i like it or not... I&apos;m a lot like my mom..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;he is to nice...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;some may say, how can you be to nice? but you can. you are to nice. when you cant say no. when all you care about is pleasing other people...by that i mean people besides your family...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my dad will put other people before his family, just  because he cant say no... he will do something for strangers before something for his wife or kids...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it seems like Larry is like that. the other night we were kind of arguing... and paul called and he immediately went down there because paul needed him...we were arguing...we were upset... and he just left..to go help paul...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;putting other people before me...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;is this how it is going to be for the rest of my life?</description>

I&apos;m done trying to be careful and make such an effort with you people that it&apos;s ridiculous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I accept you. I accept you when you are in a relationship. I accept you when you are single.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was there for you when somebody else was the most important person in your life.&lt;br /&gt;When all you could talk about was him....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you cant accept me now....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;maybe we arnt meant to be friends.&lt;br /&gt;maybe you arnt the person I thought you were.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m tired of being the person that is always there for you no matter what, but you arnt there for me.&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m tired of being the person you will use, and never pay back.&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m tired of feeling guilty for wanting to be with the person  I love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never questioned you. So why are you questioning me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I&apos;ve thought about it...and I tried changing...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I won&apos;t anymore.&lt;br /&gt;I am who I am... with or without him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m sorry you arnt the only people in my life anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;just fucking grow up.</description>

  <title>fuck it</title>
  <link>http://erinlorraine.livejournal.com/11582.html</link>
  <description>I am tired. Tired of people taking their frustrations out on me. Tired of trying to come up with reasons for my behavior, that should have been understood.&lt;br /&gt;Tired of caring. Tired of wanting to work on a friendship and keep a friendship that somebody obviously doesnt care as much as I do about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tired of being sad. Tired of explaining myself. Tired of feeling bad about spending time with other people. Tired of feeling like I am being used. Tired of being pissed about fucking books and money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tired of feeling bad for spending time with my boyfriend, when other people did the exact same fucking thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tired of the one word responses. Tired of being shut out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tired of feeling like its my fault.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is not a good day. &lt;br /&gt;Im emotionally exhausted.&lt;br /&gt;I want to sleep for a week, without any interuptions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dont want anymore drama.&lt;br /&gt;I dont want anymore tears.&lt;br /&gt;I am done crying over you...over him... over my situation... over school...over the job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am just done.</description>

  <description>time... it seems like there is never enough time. it seems like he is always busy...always studying..always doing something...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;would I be able to be with someone...who didn&apos;t make time for me? Would he make time for me...would I expect him to make more time for me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe what I need is someone who isnt so busy...someone who had time for me...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what I want is him...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time will tell if this could work... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh that time thing...</description>

  <description>the thing that seperates Kyle from any other guy that I have ever had any type of relationship with... friendships or otherwise.... would be the way we can talk to each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The things that Kyle and I talk about, would be so hard for me to talk about with anyone else....girl or guy.&lt;br /&gt;I tell him absolutly everything.&lt;br /&gt;We talk about our fears......we talk about what we want in a marriage..... about kids..about everything. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sometimes when we are talking... i just want to say... i love you... but i dont... because we dont do that anymore. we dont say it anymore. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it makes it harder. cause we arnt together. cause we probably wont be. we are in two totally different stages of our lives right now. we always have been...and until i&apos;m done with college...which isnt for at least 3 more years...we will still be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we dont say i love you anymore.. because it only lead to us acknowledging that we both wanted to be together, and then realizing it is just not possible at this point in time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;funny how life is like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You find this person, that like.... i dunno he isnt even that perfect person you know?&lt;br /&gt;he isnt the guy that i always thought i wanted.... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;he isnt as social as i am, he isnt into music.. he doesnt sing, he doesnt play any instrument...he doesnt write, he isnt overly romantic...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;he isnt what i thought i wanted. i wasnt expecting him. i cant name 100 reasons why we should be together...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but he does listen. he does make me laugh. he does make me feel sexy. he does make me smile. he does make me love him even more everytime i talk to him, or even every time he sends me a random text message during the day...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then, i start to realize.... it would never work. it will never work. we arnt meant to be togther. we are meant, to be friends..... to hear about each other&apos;s lives.......to share everything.....to occasionally wonder what could have been if only we gave it a go...... but we will never be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;he was what i would call &quot;my first love&quot;. and yes, i will always love him. but the love has grown, and then changed... it has been transformed into this great love, of friendship&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;he isnt the one. and i think..... i finally know that.&lt;br /&gt;i have come to terms with that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh there are still times when i think, oh maybe i could be happy with kyle....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but in my heart i know... he isnt the one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i dont know if i should be happy about that, or sad.</description>

  <description>so today i was sitting around and thinking. and that is never a good thing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i was thinking.... maybe the thing with the boy, will never work out...maybe it&apos;s all fruitless. maybe we will just be friends forever.. just friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;is that so bad. being his good friend?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;when i was talking to autumn over break i said ... you know he either likes me as more than a friend, or considers me his best girl friend here..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;is being the best friend so bad?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i guess it is when you want more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and i do. i want more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i hate it....how i am always just the friend. they always say &quot;erin you are such a good friend, you are a great girl&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then why dont i get the guy? why do these guys, who say i&apos;m such a great girl.......go out with other girls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;why cant i have more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;blah this is me complaining and being all emo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and i cant stand that even more than being upset over a boy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sometimes i wish that i wouldnt care so much. i wish i could just sit back, enjoy friendships as they are, and just wait, wait for once....for someone to jjust walk into my life.&lt;br /&gt;i need to just let it happen. stop trying to make it happen with someone because i want it to...</description>

  <description>Spring Break.... was what I thought it would be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It wasnt a horrible horrible time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the death of my grandpa did loom over the week. As I knew it would. As the week went on, it got better....it got less weird to be sitting in his house with my uncles, talking like nothing had happened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking at pictures... seeing him, missing him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feeling guilty when I went out with friends, because I thought maybe I shouldnt be happy right now, maybe I shouldnt be having fun because he is gone....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then understanding, that time goes on, and just because he is gone, doesnt mean I cant ever be happy and have fun. I cant stop living my life because he is gone. And just because I am smiling, and not crying...does not mean I am not thinking about him, that I&apos;m not missing him...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cause I do. I miss him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was weird. Being home. Being at his house. And not seeing him. I didnt really like it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I suppose I will get used to it. Used to it, but I will never forget.</description>

  <title>i dont know why</title>
  <link>http://erinlorraine.livejournal.com/7504.html</link>
  <description>mom called today. Grandpa isnt doing so great. They have this special medicine at the house now for him, if his sugar goes up to high, because its been to high... i asked why its been so high&lt;br /&gt;&quot;just is, things are breaking down in his body&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i hate that. things are breaking down... he is old.&lt;br /&gt;i feel bad that i cant be there for my mom, to help her because i know no one does at home, and she gets really stressed. sometimes i feel guilty that i am here, with pretty much no stress and no real responsibility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the doctor finally told grandpa he couldnt drive anymore. i guess he didnt take it very well. i didnt think he would when the time came. he loved driving down to the boardwalk and parking and watching the freighters go by.  poor grandpa. but he really did need to stop driving, sometimes he would get so confused, and i was worried that one day he would drive somewhere and get lost...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i&apos;m worried that i wasnt a good friend for autumn last night. she was trying to talk to me and i was in the middle of moving my room around and i was really distracted, and now i realize that i should have stopped everything i was doing, and just taalked to her.... i was not a good friend. and that makes me very sad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it has just been one of those weeks, where my mind is going so much, and i have a lot going on, but also just in this crappy downer mood... ugh and i hate that i am trying to make excuses. i just wasnt a good friend. plain and simple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i had a dream about kelly the other night. upsets me more than anything else... because it bothers me that i just cant get over it. i feel like an idiot. yeah she treated me bad, just get over it already!! but then bam, i&apos;m having these dreams/nightmares about running into her, and getting upset and punching her in the face....... i hate that she still gets to me. it has been 6 months since i have seen and or talked to her... and she is still getting to me. and i hate that.</description>
