The Long Road
Tragedy Is Life


Monday, September 26  

I have entered depression... I talked about it with Rob last night and my Mom today and I've decided it's true... please shoot me full of drugs you know don't help and send me to some shrink who you know can't fix me... on second thought I'll do my own fixing... We have an assignment in my speech class to interpret and answer the question "What do you think?" in one page of writing. Here is my page
What Do You Think?
What do I think huh? I’ve sat and talked with nearly everyone I know in the past month and I don’t recall anyone asking me that question. I’ve received sage advice from every person I ever trusted, but not one person asked what I thought. I think... this sucks… this sucks a lot. I don’t know how to live in this situation. I can’t imagine how I’m supposed to move on. Throughout my life time has just ran past me. I always wished days were longer because each night felt like it should be mid-day. In the past month however, each agonizing moment has crawled into the next. I’ve feared this kind of thing for a while now. I’m a Christian and I’ve always been taught “just as smooth seas don’t make a good sailor; a smooth life doesn’t make a good Christian.” I’d had a pretty good life up till now. Something had to be coming to fix that. The funny thing is… while I was right… I am no stronger a Christian today than I was a month ago. In fact I would say I am much worse. God has wronged me. I hold the grudge tightly. I know that’s wrong and I don’t think I believe it, but if you asked me at the wrong time I’d deny that fact. On nights where I sit alone at the computer when everyone else in the house is asleep, I blame God. I also blame myself, and just about any other person I can rationalize; like her sister’s boyfriend Andy. I blame him every time I sit and talk with her sister about it, and also about him. I wish this was all one big dream. That I’ll wake up tomorrow and go spend the day with Sue. I’ll hold her more tightly than I ever did before. My brain is flawed now. I cannot see truth. My mind cannot be trusted. No one should ask me such questions. At least that’s what I think.

This week has been better... school hasn't really been good... but as far as my general emotions I've been doing pretty well... every night is still kinda hard... before all this happened I was looking forward to this time of having the house to myself... but now... now it's a little different... anyway I have some quotes to share... anyone who knows which movie/book they come from gets a cookie... you know you wants a cookie

All the world will be your enemy, prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you, but first they must catch you. Digger, listener, runner, prince with a swift warning, be cunning, and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed.

My heart has joined the thousand, for my friend stopped running today.

Frith may have made it, but Fiver found it.

Wing no good, but I walk plenty good. (falls) Is long way?

There is not a day in life that a doe offers her life for her kittens, or some honest captain of Housler his life for his chief, but there is no bargain. What is, is what must be.

Can you guess? Do you get the cookie? comment and find out

Life has slowly been getting better... every day Sue seems more and less a reality... I still wake up every morning and think to myself "I should call Sue." I tried calling her the other yesterday... just to hear her voice on the answering machine... her cell's been disconnected... That was hard to cope with for a few seconds... today was hard too... My parents have gone off to deliver C'Anne's stuff to Azusa and will be home for only one day before they go on their vacation... due to this, college group was just me today... that doesn't mean noone showed up... lots of people were there... Jerry wasn't there... she went to a movie with her cousin or something... Rob showed up and that was nice... he's good to talk to because he gives a damn about your problems... anyway people took forever to leave as usual... but when they did finally do so... it was just me here... no parents getting ready for bed... No sister to talk to... It was hard because today was the first time Sue wasn't even a part of the night... Nobody brought her up... it was a group full of people who had watched us get together... most of them were there that one night at Perko's when Sue called me on her cell phone from across the room every few minutes... It was just hard... I wanna hold her... lie down and go to sleep with her head on my chest... I need to go to sleep... maybe I just need to go... bye
