It's official. January 20th I am going to a Penguin's game. This won't be awkward at all... nope.

Every Time A Game Is NOT Televised... |
September 15th, 2008 @ 1:48pm |

... I miss something. From Yahoo! Sports:
In the eighth inning, Doug Mientkiewicz was at first base when Freddy Sanchez hit a grounder to second baseman Aaron Miles. Mientkiewicz tried to slap the ball out of Miles' glove, and Miles was charged with an error.
Miles wasn't happy with Mientkiewicz's tactics.
"We talked about it," Mientkiewicz said. "He said he'd do the same thing -- if the game was close. I said, 'It's not like we're up 12.' I think we all know, a five-run lead for us is not insurmountable."
When Luis Cruz popped out, Mientkiewicz was doubled off first base. Miles muttered something as he turned toward the Cardinals' dugout, and Mientkiewicz barked back.
"I'm not going to have a talk about it, then two seconds later have him run his mouth as he runs off the field," Mientkiewicz said. "If you've got a problem with me, come talk to me. I'm standing right there."
Second base umpire Gary Darling separated Mientkiewicz and Miles, as players streamed onto the field. Both benches and bullpens emptied, but no punches were thrown.
As Mientkiewicz took a few steps toward Albert Pujols, Cardinals pitcher Ron Villone stepped in.
"I was going over to talk with Albert, and Ron really took exception to it," Mientkiewicz said. "And with the crazed animal that we all know Ronnie is ... he's not a guy you want to make mad."
Villone had to be restrained by catcher Jason LaRue and two other Cardinals.
"It's about sticking together when it's bad or good," Villone said. "I was trying to make the best of a bad situation."
Although no ejections were announced, Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa said Villone was tossed by the umpires.
"I don't know why I was thrown out," Villone said. "(Mientkiewicz) kept yelling at me and saying stuff to me."
Villone and Mientkiewicz were teammates last season with the New York Yankees.
"Neither one of us is a teammate now," Villone said.
Said Mientkiewicz: "I don't know what I've ever done to Ron Villone

Horoscope for the Day |

You will probably start feeling more detached or distant from your favorite people right about now, but there is nothing to worry about. Do not let your emotions convince you of things that aren't true. These people haven't changed, you haven't changed -- the situation has changed. And it will change again. So whatever weirdness is going on right now won't be going on forever. Just be patient and know that these people care about you. You still have a place in their lives.

Putting Myself In Awkward Situations |
August 22nd, 2008 @ 8:12am |

Okay, the plan has been made. My best friend / practically little sister's birthday is on January 21st. And, at this moment, the plan is that we're going to the Penguins' game on the 20th, staying over night and celebrating in Pittsburgh.
All of this would be great... if I had not been "involved" with certain people or it were any other team.
It will be a great day no matter what... even if there's a blizzard as per usual on her birthday and we're stuck up there. It's not that far away... like a 90 minute drive... but it scares me what might go down while we're there. I don't want her getting caught up in my messes. |

Rescue Me From Everything |
August 4th, 2008 @ 3:51pm |
Listening to: Hawthorne Heights
Last night I learned something... new... about the Buffalo incident where S apparently cheated on me the first time. C was rather reluctant to tell me, but I coaxed it out of him. E encouraged it. I guess he wanted S out of the way to get to me. I don't know why. I'm not a good / interesting person. I'm a fucking mess... and I'm not being self-depricating here either. If you know me, I'm sorry. If you don't, then I hope for your own sake you never do.
~~~Every other day I sit and wait for the same bad news. Can you hear me say "I've got nothing left to lose. ... I've seen the worst case scenerio. I'm slowly letting go.*** |

Watch How Fast & How Well I Forget. |

In 22 days, and some 20 odd hours the fall semester starts up. The Gremlin is slowly re-entering my brain.
I found myself this morning wishing that I had developed an eating disorder sooner than at 18. Odd to some, but logical to me.
I want to lose all of my recovery weight by Christmas. I went from a BMI of 18 to a BMI of 29... that sucks and it's gross. I went from beign close to underweight to overweight in about a year. I want it gone. I want people to worry about me again. I want to be in trouble / danger again... because that seems to be the only time I'm visible to anyone - when I'm about to disappear. |

I Was Losing Myself to Somebody Else |
July 31st, 2008 @ 3:51pm |
Listening to: The Veronicas - Everything I'm Not
I have learned something this summer... having professional athletes as friends will make you feel like shit. No lie. If you talk about them to other people, you feel like you're bragging or something. When you're with them, you feel like a complete fat blob. And if you're unlucky enough to date one [::raises hand::] you feel like you're never going to be good enough for them. Here he is - this big, bad pro athlete, all toned and shit... and here you are - this fat piece of nothing from some random small town he's known for all of a year of his life. And breakups... don't even get me started.
