I'm doing 39 things
my ex is an all-encompassing nutjob, as is his current partner, who has a thing for stalking me.
i made this a goal when i was trying to get them to quit bothering me. now that they have, it’s not really an issue anymore. out of sight, out of mind.

How I did it
It made me
myself 
How I did it: I had originally planned to go to England to visit my ex, because he and I needed to talk and try to get some closure on things, but he's living with some crazy girl that complicates the entire healing process.I talked to a few people before I went and I told them what I had planned and they all said I was crazy, wasting my time and money. Because of aforementioned crazy girl, I was unable to stay with him. Then I thought about it and rea… Read how I did it…
It made me
no difference YET... 
How I did it: i love old things, and old books are no exception. i went to a book fair and paid five bucks for the nastiest, oldest looking book i could find. i've had this book all semester but have been too busy to read it.i got rid of my facebook account, and have decided to fill the time i waste on that with reading, in an effort to expand my vocabulary and general knowledge base. so far, so... well.i'm not making any progress on the vocab yet… Read how I did it…
It made me
SUPER WOMAN!
How I did it: When I was in 7th grade I was a C-cup. By my junior year of highschool, I was a DDD. In College, I sky-rocketed to a J-cup, and I finally called it quits. Sick of spending nearly $100 a bra, sitting slumped over, actually WALKING at an ANGLE, feeling uncomfortable making love, and attracting Mr.Wrong over and over, I knew that for my health and sanity I needed to get a breast reduction.On May 13, 2010, I went… Read how I did it…

what the hell is wrong with me!
i’ve met my match—cool, calm, good sense of humor.
this boy has his vices, and i’ve got mine…
it’s become a distraction.
he’s hot and cold and i’m becoming all the things i run away from in my last relationship (too much commitment, responsibility, neediness…)
i don’t know how to get my brain back in check.
i’ve got a test this week that’s huge,
i’ve got thesis stuff to work on that is IMPERATIVE to my graduation and success…
i’ve got to just get my head back to reality.
last year i basically tried to throw myself a party. just typing that out sounds so pathetic. i invited some people to accompany me to the only club in town—the gay club. out of about 200 facebook invites, four people showed up, two which were planning on going to the club anyways that night. the girl who decided to be my designated driver bitched about ‘driving my drunk ass around’ the whole night, even though i had only had two drinks.
i felt pretty miserable.
one girl that i hardly knew did show up, and that really made my night.
most people said they were too busy, had to work, etc.
this year my birthday is on a saturday….. a saturday. so all the same old excuses as last year will still apply, i get that. i just wish someone cared enough to do something special.
i know it sounds stupid. i know it’s just my birthday…..
but i’ve always tried to make other people’s birthdays special.
make cakes, plan something special, try to get people together….
i wish i had friends more like myself.
fuck it.
