3rd March, 2005. 5:17 pm. dirty peruvians...

so i haven't updated in a while because those silly little men that somehow manage to by a jaguar with a sage ridge salary have blocked every concievable web site on the planet

so - being the fucking genius that i am - i finally realized i could just use a DIFFERENT computer

last week was the peru trip
where do i begin?
i think the one thing that i learned on that trip is that people rarely turn out to be who you initially think they are...funny how that work now isn't it...

some crazy shit happened in peru, CRAZY shit
but hey - shit happens
haha
im funny
....not...

peru was fucking amazing in terms of like edifying experiences - but socially it was like fucking weird i don't know
not what i was expecting would be putting it mildly
but its cool because the north carolina trip is coming up and im excited for that - that should be good
that should be something that i can enjoy socially as well
not that i didn't enjoy peru socially - it was just - fucking weird
i don't know
there are some people i thought i knew who surprised the fuck outta me
jesus - they could have at least given me a warning....

so the thing that blows about peru is the effing contamination of water or food or air or space and time or god knows what that made me and kelsey and natalie sick as hell
then it magically returned to me yesterday - in the states - and i was again vomiting all over the place (great visual) but at least i didn't have to brave school

tomorrow is community service day - thank god
i need a break from school work already and i haven't done any
apparently i have a knack for getting tired of things before they even begin
i joined track and it hasn't started yet - but i've already quit
wow im on a fuckin roll

im gonna go eat some chocolate and watch bullshit tv
fun fun fun

adios amigos

Current mood: bitchy.
Current music: black rebel motorcycle club.

10th January, 2005. 12:16 pm. falling tears

why do i feel alone in a roomfull of people? is it because im misunderstood?
at school when i am surrounded by friends i feel like i just want to be alone
and then when i am at home - alone - i wish there was someone there for me
last night i became overwhelmed with loneliness - and i realized that i couldn't really be happy whether i was alone or not
the only person i can be happy around is cal
cal is the only person i know that i can be myself around - the one person who understands me
cal and i have this weird spiritual connection thing - im sure anyone who knows us has noticed - we finish each other's sentences and we don't have to say anything to know what the other is thinking - we share a brainwave, we're on the same wavelength
so the only time i would and should be happy is around cal - but instead i always just feel guilty around her
i know she doesn't want me to be unhappy - but its not my fault, there is no real reason for me to be so unhappy i suppose...i don't know...

this is the one time when im not completely sure what she is feeling
we go to each other for everything - and so when i call her crying and tell her im on the verge of suicide as usual, i wonder how she feels
i get the idea that she feels like even though she is the best friend ever and loves me and everything, that even she can't make me happy
but i know that that is so far from the truth
there is no real method to my madness, i can't control my mood and i don't know what triggers my unhappiness

even great news falls flat these days
i got a letter in the mail that said that i am a semi-finalist for the poetry contest that i entered, and they are going to publish me in a poetry book
but for some reason i don't effing care
that doesn't make my life worth living any more than anything else

im worried about the future
if i live alone when i am an adult - who is going to stop me from hurting myself? who will stop me from hurting others?

im sure that this is a normal adoslescent thing - but i have no idea who i am - and i don't think other people do eiter
im so different around different people
there are people that think im stupid - mostly people that i knew in eighth grade
i don't know why i give off such a ditzy vibe
is it because i can't hear jack shit? not my fault...
the other day i saw this kid named kevin something with bright red hair and freckles who i went to school with in eighth grade - he was playing a tennis came for galena
he said something, and - as usual - i had to say "what?" because i couldn't hear him
and he just laughed and was like "i see that liz hasn't changed at all"
and i was like fuck you
im not stupid
its not my fault that you don't enunciate when you fucking talk
doesn't mean im stupid - it just means that you are a fucking ass
god i hate people
all the kids i kne in eight grade must think that about me - that im a ditz
but they don't know me and they can all go to hell - because you know what? i don't conform like you do, i don't tailor myself to fit in - im just real
i don't act "cool" im just myself and if you think that im a ditz then i think that you are a fuckin imbecile
wow - what the hell is wrong with me?

is that how i appear towards everyone?
when im around cal we always get silly and i probably come off like a ditz - but i hate it when people act like that, like im stupid
fucking bastards - i think they're the stupid ones
you don't have to condescend to me - when i can't hear you could just repeat what you said instead of rolling your fucking eyes at me and just laughing

you know what? everyone can go to hell with their perfect hearing
you may be able to hear shit but at least im fucking preceptive and i can see reality
so you can go shove that one up your ass

i had it when people condescend to me
good god im sorry i can't fucking hear - its not my fault
maybe what you are saying is so effing stupid that my brain doesn't even find it worth decoding so i just don't hear you - maybe i just don't listen to people because they aren't worth listening to
but don't sit there and shout at me and act like im 90
i hate people

i think it would be really interesting to like take a poll and have everyone write down on a piece of paper what they think of liz
how i appear to different people
some people know me as the quiet one
some people know me as the really loud one
maybe its a red flag to people who know me as the quiet one - maybe im quiet around you for a reason, maybe im uncomfortable with you - probably for a reason
the only time you can probably see me as the real me is when im around cal - she is the only one who im comfortable to be myself around - and that is the only time when people really judge me

wow - so i guess today was the day that i had to vent
so anyway, yeah...people suck today...

i hate it when people act like they know me
because they don't
they have NO idea
i hope that people who think that i am a pushover and a ditz and someone who won't stand up for myself realize that i never forget anything - if someone pisses me off im not going to forget about it anytime soon
i can hold grudges for a long effing time
someday im going to burst and start screaming profanities at people in the hallway
wow - that would actually feel really good right now....damn....sounds good to me...

okay - so if you think you know me - tell me what you think of me - and ill correct you
then ill tell you what a fucking asshole you are
no just kidding
im not a bitch i swear
im just confused and i have low blood sugar right now
so im going to go eat something and don't worry - after i have some substance in me i won't bite your head off......or will i.....???

Current mood: bitchy.
Current music: Nirvana - rape me.

30th December, 2004. 10:49 am. Conquering the unconquerable

so today my mother made a ridiculous proposal: that i finally face my paralyzing phobia and.....SWIM ACROSS THE ROCKS

that's right: she wants me to swim across the big, submerged rocks in the bay

i have this really bizarre phobia of large underwater rocks
rocks on land: no problem
little underwater rocks: whatever
large underwater rocks: scary as hell

i don't know why - but everytime i am swimming and i see a large rock just lurking there in the seabed i become paralyzed with fear
and this is not anything new, either
when i was 11 we went to australia for christmas vacation
we spent a few days in cairns - and it rained the entire time we were there
we stayed in a very cool hotel with like ten different pools
we went swimming despite the downpour because it was so hot - even in the rain
one of the pools was like a fake beach - they had sand and a little dock and they made it look like the ocean and the whole shabang
so my mom and i went swimming here and i went around and decided to jump off the dock in the pool
so my mom was already in the pool waiting for me to jump in and i ran and jumped and had a heart attack when i entered the water
i don't know why, but there were these huge fake rocks they had in the pool to make it look real and i was so scared of them that i started to freak out and hold onto my mom and we ended up evacuating the pool
so that was a wee bit strange but i totally forgot about the whole incident for a few years

but this whole fear is completely aggravated everytime we come to napili bay because there are huge underwater rocks everywhere out there - where i never go
so she decided that today we were going to conquer my fear and just go out and swim among the rocks
i, however, do no think that i am up for that....

28th December, 2004. 11:05 pm. As i lose against my dreams...soma is lookin pretty good

Soma* is what they would take when hard times opened their eyes
Saw pain in a new way
High stakes for a few names
Racing against sunbeams
Losing against their dreams...

They tried it once and they liked it - they tried to hide it
Said, "I've been doing this 25 years"
But i'm not listening no more....
And their friends, they keep askin for more....
But that's it...

27th December, 2004. 9:19 pm. "The Girl" that haunts my nightmares

last night i had an utterly tramatizing dream....flashbacks of it have haunted me all day
i dreamt that "the girl" (you know who i'm talking about trish) kept coming over to my house and would never ever let me see cal
so i had a meltdown at the mall (which is odd because this actually happened to me a couple of weeks ago - the subconscious has a good memory) and i just started crying hysterically in one of the stores
i am such a psychopath
i am also such a hypochondriac
oh to be emotionally simple and carefree...
wouldn't it be lovely??
by the way, i have officially diagnosed myself with Borderline personality Disorder - look it up on the internet and if that doesn't sound exactly like me than you are the psychopath and you obviously don't know me very well so why the hell are you reading my journal?
so anyway yeah i think i'm BPD which explains a lot
its frightening to read something bland and techincal on the internet about a disease and to have it dawn on you that you are reading about yourself
good lord i envy people with normal cognitive processes haha and people who can control their emotional swings
its so scary in part because i have no idea who i am
im sure those who know me have seent his
sometimes im quiet and dark and moody
sometimes im bright and cheery and giggly
sometimes i have no self confidence
sometimes i am overly confident
sometimes i know exactly what i want
sometimes i have no idea what i want
some days i want to be a doctor - and other days a lawyer - and then some days a senator
i see everything in black and white which is the worst part
a prime example of this is school
i think that i am either very good in a subject or very bad
if i am mediocre at something i consequently determine that i am horrible at it (like math, im not THAT bad but i constantly convince myself and others that i am completely inept)
if i get one bad grade in a subject i decide that that is it - that i am horrible forever and always at that subject
its so frustrating but i can't help it
and worst of all is that i am the moodiest most emotional person every
im either up or down - there is no in between
im either ecstatic or on the verge of suicide
but what can i do??? its so hard for me to change the way i feel!
im so detached from reality sometimes. it's like, when im feeling so happy, i can never imagine why i would ever have flet sad in my life
and when i am depressed i wonder how i ever felt in the least bit content because the world is the worst place ever and there is no point in me living anymore
sometimes i feel like i have all of the love and support i could ask for and i feel like i have all the reason and people in the world to live for
other times i feel like there is no reason for me to live and no one would care if i slit my wrists on a sunday afternoon - no one would even notice i was gone on monday morning
i also overanalyze everything and everyone and all of their actions
i judge each person's actions independantly - if that makes sense - and don't take into account anything else they may have said or done that could have led to or caused something at a later time
im quick to anger and frustration - quick to sadness and depression - but quick to cheerfulness as well
the human brain is so confusing - how biologically fucked up to i have to be to feel like this?

anyway - on a lighter note
we went shopping today in lahaina and i bought lots of gifts for people and a few things for myself
i sent ten postcards today (!!) to my closest friends - and i actually realized i have a lot more to send before i leave
my cute boy was MIA today and i saw him nowhere
it rained all day which was lovely - it made it a good day for shopping and wasn't a day i would have rather spent on the beach
i saw the boy that i always thought was hot but found myself loathing the sight of him today
i don't know why
i just hated him - for being there - for being around me - it was so strange - i just couldn't stand him all of a sudden
how do i have friends? how do they stand to be around me when i am so emotionally jacked up?
so that was a pretty random rush of hatred that i had today - towards someone i have never spoken to before in my life

last night i did not sleep at all because i was freezing (which makes no sense considering this is maui and it was prefectly balmy outside all night)
instead i decided to listen to my iPOD, then realized it was broken
so i got out my cd played - to discover that there were no batteries
so then i spent a while scrounging around the room in search of some unused AA batteries
i found none
so i then took apart the remote control and used those batteries to power my cd player
after lsitening to my cd twice throught - nad still not feeling sleepy at all, i went into the bathroom and shut the door and turned on the light and read 150 pages of the 5th harry potter (which i am reading for the third time)
finally i fell asleep after listening to music once again in bed

nothing else really happened today - it was pretty uneventful
i am feeling that longass run we had yesterday in my thighs - i can hardly sit down or stand up - my quads feel like they have been through the ringer

im going to go to bed now - at like eight o'clock or seven o'clock or whatever because i did not sleep last night from 1:00 until 4:35

so i will leave you with a lovely post-christmas poem

so mele kelikimaka (sp??) (hawaiin for "merry christmas) and to all a good night

A Republican Night Before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the land,
not a critic was stirring, for stirring was banned.
A thousand brown prisoners, snug in their cells,
all held without charges or tinsel or bells;

And mamma was wrapped in the national flag,
while we sang "Where there's never a boast or a brag."
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the TV I flew like a flash;
I then watched "Survivor" and reruns of "Mash."
The fireworks, exploding above the new snow,
gave a luster of objects to people below.

When what saw my wondering eyes in the flashes:
a miniature George Bush and eight tiny fascists!
Their jerseys were blue and said "WORLD DOMINATION";
I knew right away this was not just claymation.

More rapid than eagles the warlords they came,
as the little Bush whistled and called them by name:
"Now, Daschle! now, Ashcroft! Now Strom, don't relent!
On, Poindexter, Rumsfeld! on Henry and Trent!

To the top of the globe, while the crowd's at the mall,
now bomb away, bomb away, bomb away all!"
His sack had a war game for each girl and boy;
his pocket, four billion from just Illinois.

Far up on his high seat the driver did mount,
with more massive weapons than Kofi could count.
And then, I heard sounds from away off somewhere,
the booming of bombs that were bursting in air.

As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
down the chimney old Dick Cheney came with a bound.
He said not a word, nor disclosed his location;
he wiretapped my house in the name of the nation.

Then holding the strings of his little Bush puppet,
he went to the chimney and quickly rose up it.
The sleigh was still running, but Dick didn't hurry;
gas guzzlers, it seemed, were no longer a worry.

He popped the champagne and exclaimed as he served it,
"The world is now ours, and GOD DAMN, we deserve it!"

Current mood: cranky.
Current music: Hooki Lau.

26th December, 2004. 9:18 pm. i need direction to perfection no no no no

so yesterday was christmas
i had a pretty uneventful christmas myself
we didn't do presents this year seeing as how we are here instead - and it was basically just no christmasy feeling
it's pretty hard for hawaii to feel christmasy - i mean there were lights and a weird blow up thing of santa in a hot air balloon, but at the beach it felt nothing like christmas
its almost as if it didn't happen this year
but we had a nice dinner last night at a restaurant called Roy's - and the manager was really hot
most notably, though, the chocolate soufflet was DIVINE - there aren't even words that can describe the utter perfection of this soufflet

so this morning i did something unthinkable and ridiculous and completely out of line for me - I WENT RUNNING
and it wasn't just a little short run (and remember, i haven't run in six months, since my last track competition of last year) my dad took my 6 MILES! WHAT IS THAT!?!? i didn't run all of it, though, DUH
when we got to the top of the endless vertical hill that we had to run up (which had the cute, innocent, and misleading name of "pineapple hill") my dad decided it was time for a little breaking and entering
so - when security wasn't looking - we climbed over the locked gate-fence thing and checked out the old rotting property of some rich hawaiian man
however, nothing could prepare me for the shock i was to recieve when i glanced over at a tree and saw, swinging in the breeze, a noose
yes that's right
a noose
hanging from the tree
swinging in the breeze
so anyway - that was pretty mch the dealbreaker right there
off the property we ran and back to the old beach for a quick dip in the sea - and a quick glance at the cute boy on the beach
the rest of the day was spent swimming and tanning and just lounging around recovering from my traumatizing removal from the world of lethargy into the unforgiving world of physical activity
nothing too fun here

my cute boy has pretty eyes though - and this is, in fact, a new development in my life
we keep making eye contact - which is always the funnest part of cute boys - the coy little looking and then looking away and then looking back that i have done countless time with countless boys in countless places
so we engaged in the old eye contact game and his eyes are so unbelievably sexy i don't even know what to do
and that's the real shocker right there considering i really have never liked brown eyes
im kind of an "anything but" kind of girl when it comes to brown eyes
but he has these brown eyes that are indescribable - they are very, very light brown and just beautiful
they say that eyes are the windows to the soul - and all i can say is....if that's true....i definitley want to get to know this boy

oh yeah - and i must add that i bamboozled a towel from the napili kai, and there towels are unbelievable!!! they are so soft and cushy and quite pretty, too
they are a cream color with "sea foam green" stipes
i made up that particular shade of green
does it sound convincing? i actually think that that quite accurately describes the color

there are chain smokers takin a drag directly above me as i type
the putrid smell is wafting in my window, mixed with the tropical smell of the ocean, and the hibiscus flowers
as much as i love tolerating people polluting my air in public places - these people are being ridiculous
they have been dropping their stray cigs and their cig butts onto our patio - along with their ash and a little red lighter (which, as any good pyro would, i confiscated)

well bill clinton - a man who i greatly admire and respect (even though *gasp* he had an affair, because no republican has ever done that *coughrudyguilianicough*, and god knows bush has never ever told a lie)
is on john stewart right now - so im going to go watch this good liberal and continue to remind myself that i am not the only liberal left
i am not
i am not....

merry post-christmas!! and happy belated hanukkah!! happy ramadaan and merry kwanzaa!!!

Current mood: apathetic.
Current music: daily show theme song.
