so it's "christmas" today. the past couple of days i spent with hannah & her family. it was really nice to get away from my brothers negativity. it's weird to see how everyone else's family is close and it's just... ah. weird.
this whole day so far i've spent alone. i feel kindof lame. everyone is with their parents & family. no one is around. i've been calling jared for hours... he doesn't answer or respond. i kindof don't want to bother him because i feel like i'll ruin his whole day or something. i just don't get it. joey isn't answering either... i dont know if he went to canby or if he's still going to volunteer.
my dad woke me up early to go to breakfast but i was too tired. then i got up & they hadn't left, so i started getting ready. they were leaving & i went out to say "hey are you coming back?" - i figured they were just going to return the rental car. he said they were, so i got ready. and waited. and waited. and waited. obviously they went out to breakfast without me, because they didnt come back for three or four hours.
i just spent hours alone in an empty house, watching reality shows on bravo & eating ramen noodles, trying to get ahold of someone so i wouldn't feel so fucking lonely. part of me feels like i've missed out on something. i get gifts with requirements. it's like, "i bought you that yesterday, so you owe me." shit, i don't even get gifts. that's so weird to think. hannah made me a necklace & i was so happy. i couldn't believe she actually did that for me. she painted an owl for me. i ask for things from my parents or siblings. they don't give things to me. what the fuck is a gift. i kindof beg. it's slightly pathetic. if i want something, i have to do this or this or that. or if i get something, it can be taken away the next day if i piss my mom off over the dumbest thing.
i feel very strange. i feel like an outsider who's on the inside. i realized, we don't have family portraits, we rarely eat at the same table (unless we go out to eat) & i don't feel like anyone actually knows anyone else in my family. i'm closest to my fucking DOG.
i love jared so much. i want to be with him. i'm glad i am. but sometimes i feel like, when he's so far away, how do i deal with the loneliness? he has so much. he has friends & family. he has a job. he has music. he has so much to fall back on. but for me, like... i have him. and he doesn't understand why i would be a little upset if he ignored my calls. my insurance pays for someone for me to fall back on. loren. other than that... i can't go up to my mom & say "hey whats up?" when i'm lonely. i lay in bed, with my dog, playing tetris. or i take a bath.
i think that's why i hate people so much. i hate what i don't understand.
i feel like hannah is one of the first real friends i've ever had.
it's kindof pathetic. i'm almost 18 years old & she's the first girl who's let me spend the night at her house.
i'm not sure how to react to it.
i'm not sure where i belong at all.
