excitement .

SO ! Johnathon said I can get a puppy !
So I have been craigslisting like a mad woman !
The only stipulations , I have to ask the landlord .
And I have to make all the arrangements .
And it has to be smaller than my medium size retriever . =]
sooo excited ! I wrote about some bassett hound puppies .
sadly , no response . they are free and i want them so bad !

Look at that cute little guy doing the sexy pose !
Also , I spent 50 dollars today buying Lua's birthday decorations . Whoops !

Daisy .

I always tend to be a little dramatic . Okay , so really , if one little thing is going wrong I tend to flip out over everything . I haven't always been that way . This is new .

But , right now I am happy . I woke up feeling better (chugging a gallon of cranberry juice apparently works) . Johnathon , Lua , Bonnie and I went to the dog park this morning . Looked at all the cuties and Bonnie got to make some friends . Then came home and relaxed . Right now , Johnathon is looking ever so cute napping on the couch , I have been reading a good book , Lua is (finally) napping (she put up a huge fight) , and Alf is on . Good day , my friends .

I have tomorrow off , so I will be spending the day purchasing supplies and decorations for LUA'S FIRST BIRTHDAY ! So exciting .

I don't know if I mentioned I got myself kicked out of Baby Mama Drama's party . Which I am okay with . Its not really for Lua at all . Its called the Lua Luau but tell my why it is so important to make sure she can have beer there . And , do you really need 60 to 100 people at your kids first birthday party ? There MAY be 2 other kids there . Then , there's going to be an after party . . . . Happy Birthday , Lua . So , I am very glad to not be a part of that . And , this 21 year old mother's exact words were "no , because of facebook"

hahahahhahahaha how mature .

(because of facebook , means that I would not take down pictures of Lua or refrain from posting a status that had anything to do with Lua . Yeah , really .)

Anyways , So I am planning a party for her the weekend after and I am really excited about it . If anyone wants to share any ideas or what-not , please feel free !

<3

So , life kind of sucks right now . I'm cranky and in constant discomfort (not to mention PAIN) . Johnathon is irritating me . And I can't even tell if its me or him .

However , I finally got paid thus finally purchased a new book to drown myself in . Thank you , Jesus .

I'm leaving this world . . .

I have a UTI

I really don't want to be living anymore .

I don't like myself anymore .

Me , Myself and Alf . (My hectic life entry)

So , I am going to try and backtrack , and start at the beginning .

I wrote about how I was told the Johnathon was cheating on me . That entry is already posted and I feel it is so accurate as to how I felt . It hurts me to think more about it .
We solved it .

My brother came to town from England . He was supposed to have me pick him up Friday from St Louis , which is two hours away . Then he decides , his ex girlfriend is going to pick him up and she and his best friend from Illinois will bring him Saturday , by noon . They would stay Saturday , Sunday or at the absolute latest , Monday . Then , we would spend the week hanging out and leave Thursday for Tenn . My great grandmothers 90th (!) birthday . How amazing .

Well , I was already very tired emotionally after the cruel accusations .
Turns out , my brother and his ex girlfriend decided they were going to wake up at nine (which is when he would have to leave to make it here by twelve . Which they promised countless times , would be when they got in .) They go to Ihop and claim that they wont be much later than twelve . Lets be honest , obviously that's not true . So I get furious . He tells me "I didn't know it was such a strict time schedule ." Seriously ? I said "it is about the decency to show up when you promise ." Not to mention that they completely quit talking to me so I had no idea what was going on . They showed up at 3:30 . I had to work at 4:00 .

So , I get over that and decide , we'll spend a wonderful week with family anyway . First , it turns out that only his ex girlfriend and him are there . He turns in to a competitive , rude person and does not tell me anything . Monday comes around .

The X is showing no signs of leaving . She told my friend that she was supposed to leave Monday , but she's just going to stay until Wednesday . And we leave Thursday for Tenn . She also asked to ride with me and go , and I said no .

Sunday night , my brother asks me to drive him to Illinois , then pick him up on the way to Tenn . He got in the previous day and is now asking to leave . The entire point of my family spending the money they don't have on a plane ticket to STL , is so he can spend time with me . And he asked me to drive him 2 and a half hours away to skip out . I don't answer , I pretend not to hear .

So , Monday comes around . I am already furious with the situation because he has been inconsiderate and she has been offending my friends . I wake up to a text from my father .

To fill anyone in , my father and I are not on bad terms , but we certainly aren't on good ones . He is not a good person . We have spoken once on the phone since I moved out of his house over a year ago . (I lived with him for two months , and it didn't work out) . We are not friends . And I do not like him .

"I'll be in your town by 3"

Another "fill in" . My father does not know that Johnathon and I are dating . My father thinks that I live in some crappy house , with crappy people in a crappy town just struggling to get by . I don't .

I am now livid . I ask questions about his plans , this is the first I have heard of this . He calls "Your brother and I made plans last week ."

So I go wake up my brother and ask him about it . "Well , dad said there's a chance he might not make it , so I didn't think it was a set plan ."

I want to strangle him . Idiot . so , I spend the entire morning (I have to go to work at five) cleaning my house . Deep cleaning and father-proofing . Then , I over-hear him talking to his friend in Illinois "Sorry , I can't make it because Jenica won't drive me ." So , I walk in and say "No , you cannot make it because you invited your father to my house to come see you ." And he says "Jenica's yelling at me , as usual" which nearly pushes me over the edge . Meanwhile , his little ex girlfriend is sitting with him with this smug look on her face and I want to tell her to get out .

Monday , afternoon , my father picks up my brother . I do not see him .
Danni the Devil / baby mamma starts trying to pick fights with me .
"So , I take it you guys worked everything out ?"
I say , "Yes , we're dealing with it ." She prys , hoping we will fight . She pokes , and she pokes .

Tuesday through Wednesday . My father does not speak to me or Johnathon . In fact , he ignores us . He and my brother are "BFFs" and down to have "deep" conversations and go out exploring , with his pathetic ex girlfriend following along like a sick puppy . They are down-right rude to Johnathon . He comes to my town and in to my house and will not even look at me .

I have begun calling my mother to rant , she helps and is furious with my brother .
Wednesday night , my father says goodbye . The ex left , which was a huge battle . I am at work and the idiot starts texting me again trying to see if she broke up me and Johnathon . So , I say , "Thanks so much for telling me everything , we got through it and we're better than ever ."

Which sends her in to a rage . Five page text messages about how Johnathon ruined her life and how she thought I would be different and "Lay down the law" . She will not listen when I say 1 ) i do not believe anything she said 2 ) he did not ruin her life and 3 ) I do not want drama .

Somehow in the middle of her "I wish I could still be with Johnathon but I am psychotic and I can't and he doesn't want me so I'm going to try and run his new girlfriend off" rant she says that it is hard for her to look at my facebook and see pictures and statuses of Lua on there . She is blocked . She cannot see my facebook . Her spies can though . I ignore that , because I am still trying to address that I do not want to talk about Johnathon anymore .

Oh , and guess what . My car gets hit . And they run . So far this is how my night has been . Go to work angry at brother and father , get informed that right outside of my work my car gets hit and the lady ran , get ridiculous text messages from the idiot , and have my father show up at work . I am starting to think , I will break . I am starting to think , I cannot take anymore .

So , I go home to see Johnathon and Lua . It is 930 , and Lua is awake =] There are plenty of people around her and she runs to me . She puts her arms around me . She is 11 months and she has hugged me . I am sitting on the floor and she runs over and climbs in to my lap . Words cannot explain how it feels . And finally , she gives me two kisses . Normally , she avoids eye contact so she avoids kisses . Or else she's too wound up to be still enough to give a kiss . But , she gave me two and it made me so happy . SO , I post this as a facebook status :

"Worst week ever , but a hug and kiss from Lua made it better ."

Then , we go to bed .

In the morning , we will leave for Tenn .

I wake up , so excited . I had been thinking though , and the fact that the idiot still thinks that Johnathon has done these things bothers me . So , before I leave I post a status that says that I do not believe the stories and I do not want them brought to me ever again . Literally , two minutes later I get a text , "Hey girl , I know this is random , but what does your status say ?"

So , I respond , "wow , two minutes ? This town is a joke ."

We get in to this huge fight , she pretty much tells me that I have to clear Lua from my myspace and facebook . I say no , I will not censor myself for anyone . She tells me that everyone thinks I'm pretending to have an "internet daughter" . I tell her I don't care what anyone thinks . She calls me names and tells me I'm rude . I tell her to leave me alone . She always has to have to last word so she waits a couple minutes and says "we'll make it easy then , Lua won't be around ."

And I say that is impossible because she is Johnathon's daughter and I am his girlfriend and Lua is my responsibility also . She hates that . Freaks out . So , I say "I am on vacation visiting family and do not wish to be disturbed . Please , do not contact me anymore ." So of course , to get the last word she says "all those things about Johnathon were true ! So shut your mouth about telling everyone they're stories ."

I get to Tenn and everything is perfect .

I check my Facebook and have recieved a message from one of her little drugee minions .

"Hey , girl !
I read your status and I just want to say that everything we told you was the truth.
I'm not trying to bring myself into your life or problems in anyway.
But there was not a single lie told.
And honestly that's cool that you and John worked things out.
I didn't tell you myself because I didn't think it was a big deal and I was hoping he did change this time.
But as me being a single mom myself, I can say I see where Danni is coming from with the Lua issue.
Not to mention I see her cry over it everyday.
and it's not something that someone should just "get over."
that baby is her life! and I know if I saw Jesse's girlfriend doing that with Miles I would be the same way.
I mean i know you love Lua.What's not to love about her.
it just really hurts Danni because she feels like your trying to take her place as a mother when she's struggling so hard to be the best mom she can for Lua Butt.
Please don't think I messaged you to be hateful or rude, I just thought maybe an outside opinion could help ease the situation.
If you and John plan to be together for a while or forever, then something has to get worked out because the tension isn't good for Lua.
I hope you guys have a safe and fun trip.See you at the LUA-LUAU :)"


WHORE . Every single sentence was either a lie or complete crap . I can actually respond to every single sentence and tell her why it is wrong and stupid . But , I didn't . I didn't respond . I blocked her too . And other people . The spies .

So , I get over that and have the best weekend ever . My family is amazing . Johnathon is amazing . I've never been so happy . My brother kept up being a manipulative jerk .

For my great grandmas birthday we had a family talent show . Johnathon and my brother picked a song , learned it and about ten minutes (tops !) before it was their turn my brother tells Johnathon he's not comfortable doing that song and is just going to do a Say Anything song . Which is completely inappropriate . Then , tells Johnathon he shouldnt have chickened out .

THEN , we all drive back together and stay in a hotel Saturday night , on Scott AFB in Illinois . Where the ex lives . My brother sneaks out , parents are furious . They may be sending him to live with my father .

Johnathon asks my mother for her approval , she gladly gets it . I feel incredible about that .
We go shopping and it has been a great day . We go to the zoo in STL and it sucked .
Some ignorant and animal-like black chick tried to fight us and started beating on our car because she screwed up parallel parking and couldnt do it because Johnathon had pulled up (we thought she was giving up because she pulled up two cars away .) So , I spent the entire day at the zoo worried that she was going to vandalise my car .

So , it was good to be home .
Things have calmed down , sort of . The idiot kicked me out of Lua's Luau birthday party she's throwing , which is fine with me . She has it turned in to a Danni party . She's having beer and inviting a lot of people who don't even know Lua exists . Then she's planning an after-party . For her daughters first birthday .

So , Johnathon and I are already planning on not going and having our own . Which is going to be a thousand times better for us than actually going because the idiot is psychotic . And apparently , I'm not supposed to acknowledge Lua anymore . Joke .

Johnathon and I got in a huge fight last night and I ran out . I took my dog and left . We've never fought like that before . It sucked , but he came after me crying and said he was sorry and we're good now .

This is like a weeks worth in one blog . If you actually read it , well thank you !
I am hoping things settle down now because for a minute there I didn't think I was going to make it .

life . is . insane .

so insane i cannot even really write about it .

Tuesday, August 18, 2009

You said I'd never be able .

So , here's my yesterday .

Stress all day about cleaning / father-proofing my house .
Stress about seeing my father for the first time since i (messily) moved out .
Go to work .
Recieve a text .

"Johnathon has been dirty texting another girl , it happened a month ago . Johnathon slept with another girl , it happened a couple months ago . Johnathon slept with a girl right before you moved here ."


My . Heart . Broke .

I was stuck at work for five hours trying to figure out where I was going to go , how to split up bills and what happens next . I felt like my entire future went black and i was at the edge of a hole . I felt like the love of my life just died . I won't give second chances , and you broke us .

I thought about how happy we were . How just the night before he held me outside and told me how absolutely happy he was with everything in his life , regarding me .
I thought about how much I've given to him .
I thought about how many times he told me he loved me .
I thought about trying to move forward and love again .

Mostly I thought about who was sleeping on the couch that night and if I would slap him or punch him .

Four hours . I tell my boss . Cry . A little .
She tells me , "remember the source ."
I do . A little . I am angry . I am nausious .

Three hours . I recieve many more texts .
Details Details Details . I smoke three cigarettes .
I shake a little .

Two hours . I tell Johnathon to cancel any evening plans .
He asks , "are we going to dinner"
I cry . More . Tell him no .

One hour . My source shows up . Brought me cigarettes .
Fills me in more . Tells me he will never change .
I tell Johnathon this may be the end . Please be right .


We go for a silent drive , park immediately . I asked him all the questions I had . He got worked up once , started yelling . Not at me , of course .

His charges have been dropped . Its scary to believe him though . I trust him and these girls , they are nonsense . They are miserable and contagious . But , why ? Why would they do this ? Why lie ? Why manipulate words to affect timing ? Why break up a beautiful relationship ?

I feel like I sort of know the answers . Misery loves company . Something about a woman scorned . I feel like I really am living as "us against the world" and I hate it .

We have done nothing , but be happy and successful . Please , stop trying to tear us down .

my obsession .

My inspiration .

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ0p8zvUJQE

I loved you , Guinevere , I loved you .



How fun is that picture ? I swear , she's the best . This will probably be quick . I am so tired . Johnathon has been working so much (try 8 to midnight . . .) and I miss him . I have been dealing with so much work drama , I miss good people . The girls at my store are amazing . But , I worked with one girl for four hours one day , and she screwed me over . She spent the entire evening complaining and talking down everyone at her store . It was miserable . But , I never did anything to upset her . Then , my manager has to sit me down yesterday to have a talk with me because serious issues were brought to her attention . She said , apparently you have a lot of issues with me . This . . . girl went to her manager for NO reason AT ALL and told her that I had said all of the things she said about my store , manager and co-workers . UGH ! I was furious . I'm not in trouble and hopefully everyone believes me , but it is beyond hard not to try and get revenge . I want to slap her across her face so hard . Or get her fired . Is that wrong to feel that way ?

On a much lighter note , I want to thank the girls who have taken time out of their day to lift my spirits . The things said meant the world to me and certainly gave me a bit of confidence . I greatly appreciate it and needed it . You are beauty personified .

I threw a barely smoked cigarette out the window today . Took a couple puffs and tossed it because I didn't want it anymore . Am I coming closer to being a non-smoker ?

I want to write . But I really need to sleep more . I want to watch Coraline but Johnathon took the player out of our room and I tend to have a very hard time getting that sorted out . And I really , just want to sleep . I feel so bad for Johnathon . He's worked 30 hours in the past two days . That is my full work week sometimes . Poor little guy is probably so drained and I MISS HIM !

But , anyways . I found a poem I wrote when I was dealing with some stuff in the past . It makes me sad because the ending is sort of happy and hopeful , but it's false . But I ended it . The poem should have ended with a warning of bad things to come . The storm that was slowly and distantly brewing . I thought about adding more . But , I think I will leave it because when I wrote it , I didn't know . I didn't know anything at all except that feeding my brain and the temporary high was enough to mirror hope . Its honest , I guess .

The Airplanes would have taken her anywhere : Tibet , Moscow , Israel , and Finland . She'd prepared lists with made up stories , she'd covered every last white with Dreamland . A fight for culture , it bargained , it begged , it screamed .


No one can really say what her response meant , no one could find the root of her torture . And the way she screamed became apparent , and the things she whispered became evidence .


"Bring the mirror to my face , and that's when you begin ." A phase , a place , a phase .
"Bring the mirror to my face , and I'll allow a bit more sin ."


Skeletons pulled their own weight , strangers pushed her on . Four more tries at a new year . Skeletons felt shoulder blades , strangers led her on . A place , a taste a place .


Fingertips withered down , the ivory as cold as ice . The south Pacific molded into a dream . And cat's bragged about their nine lives .


She'd fight for insomnia , for butterflies and a terrible ache .
The year of no melody , the year of hitting the brain .

A taste , a break , a taste . lucid , unafraid , give it another try . she's stretched , she's there . Vocal and aware .

It's time to embrace snow . A brand new delicate place .
She'd walk the streets barefoot now , oh , she can waltz now .

here's my hope , my tired soul .

I've never been a good writer when I've been happy . It is weird . I read through some old journals when life wasn't exactly at a high point and I am so happy with the way I wrote . But , when things go well , I don't have it .

An even trade ? I think so .

walk around the world



So , I am really not a Tim Burton fan . Really , the only movie of his that I really have respect for is Edward Scissorhands . Until now . I rented Coraline last night and I am obsessed with it . It was so good . I was half way asleep (just woken up from a nap) when I started it , but immediately got sucked in . Probably from the main menue of the DVD haha

There's this pretty creepy song but I loved it .

I seem to have come across some pretty great movies lately . At our house , we're getting in to a Japanese film phase . We watched Death Note (SO good) one and I still need to finish two . Both seriously great films . Then Old Boy which was also great , but on my list , not as high up as the Death Notes . Old boy was pretty twisted though . And next , we'll probably get Battle Royale , which is one of my ultimate favourite movies .

I think I'm going to probably watch Coraline again today , before work !

I do not exist , we exist .


People and God really amaze me . For the past three weeks , I've been sinking and falling and sliding down in to this deep , dark , damp hole . I've been letting my anger come out of my pores , it consumed me . My insecurities drove me . I've hid respect and refused to apologise . I felt like I was losing everything . Pushing everyone away and hurting them to insure distance .


But finally , (two days ago , actually) the tables turned . I went to sleep the night before angry with Johnathon but still feeling very much in love . Then woke up completely rested . I felt good . Amazing . I woke up , I cleaned and cleaned . I went grocery shopping . All before 11am . Which always makes me feel so good about the day . I even bought Johnathon an "I'm sorry" card .


Then , something even better happened . I agreed to go visit Lua's mom to plan her birthday party together . Which was a huge step for us because we've been not getting along lately . Seems she's been going through a very similar feeling of anger too . But , we put it all behind us and actually had a very nice time planning the party . And I got to see Lua which always makes things better .


After that , I went in to work and had the most perfect work day ever . We got rushes a couple times an hour which is good because it makes the day go by so much quicker . Then , inbetween customers , we just talked . My co-worker is an amzing woman . She's been through so much , she's a strong Christian , she's a genuinely amazing person . I look up to her so much . So talking to her about anything and everything very much lifted my spirits . I went home that night and had a wonderful rest of the night with Johnathon .


I feel rejuvinated .

emo emo emo

who knew that so many things could make me feel inferior . How pathetic is it that I don't even want to write in a blog (which is mostly for me) because I don't feel interesting enough . Everyone else has better things to write about .

They write about their husbands and new babies and what do I have ? More bills than money , more drama than highschool and a life full of lies .

I'm something to be proud of . . . ha .

All I want is to be married and a mother .
that's all i've ever wanted .
I want to be proud of myself and things i have done .
I want to feel confident in just something .
I'm not very patient .

I'm miserable .
I can't make music . I can't write anything .
I can't make art . I can't cook . I can't sew .
I can't keep up with housecleaning .
I can't be patient . I can't be satisfied .

I can't feel worth the life God gave me .
