Guess what I did today!

Give up?
I had a great day! By far the best day I've had in a week. The curse is broken! There were some things that I wish would've happened that could have made it better - but oh well, I'm over it. Still a grand day!
I also decided to go home tomorrow rather than Wednesday. I was originally gonna stay tomorrow to continue hanging out with people, but it seems everyone has had enough of me (completely understandable). I have barked up too many wrong trees I suppose. I would only ride my bike all over the damn place (which is awesome - but quite literally all I have done since being here).

Overall, my time back at my mom's house has taught me a lot. Like - it sucks sleeping on a couch for a week being this goofishly tall - I enjoy hanging out with my brother, dad and stepmom more than most of my old friends here - and if you give someone an inch they will take a mile.

The only bad thing about today was that I tested a hypothesis (that I hoped was false) and it turned out to be true. Not bad really, just pretty disappointed. I am too nice to some people - the ones who don't deserve it. And then I catch myself being an ass to people like mom who give me everything in the world. I piss myself off.

Anyway, if I saw you this week - it wasn't for as long as I had hoped, I promise - but thanks for letting me in at all. If you're in Muncie soon, call me. Even if it's not soon... there is a 98% chance I will be there - and a 100% fact that I will want to see you.

HELP WANTED

Today I rode my bike literally all day. I left my house at 1:30 pm and did not return until 9:30 pm. It was awesome.
But of course something terrible had to happen to ruin the entire day... I was on my way back home from my dad's and riding down Miller Avenue in Marion when I saw a dog get hit by a car. I almost fell off my bike. It hurt me so bad (dramatic and true). I seriously, for the first time in my life, believe in curses. Ever since I came to visit home nearly a week ago, it seems like I've been having just alright days, usually with at least one really shitty thing happening. I'm tired of it.
I thought about just staying inside the next few days I'm here, which are also the last few days I'm here. But I know I can't do that. That would be shitty in and of itself.
I do want to see people, but only certain people now - and they aren't having it. So... well, I dunno.
Although it's completely irrational - I want to become vegetarian now. I've always kinda picked on vegetarians, and not because I'm actually against vegetarianism, but because most the vegetarians I've talked to are into it because they are slaves to trends. But after seeing that dog die, I feel like it's something I need to do. The worst thing of all is: I know there is no chance in Hell I could do it. So my plan is to find another non-veg and make a bet with them; semi high stakes. Just so I can be sure to do it.
R.I.P. unknown dog on Miller Ave.

I was wrong wrong wrong.

I don't feel insignificant, nor do I feel old. Just no longer immortal. I have been in Gas City for a few days now, sleeping on my mom's couch, and I have to admit - I'm not having nearly as much fun as I though I would in Gas City. I have been having bad dreams... it's weird to talk about, but seriously awful dreams. I think everyone has had those dreams where they're running away from someone who is after them, but the other night was the first time I had one where the dude caught me, and then killed me. It was fucked up. It was one of the most terrible things I've went through in awhile. I woke up and just sat on my mom's couch with the light on. I felt miserable.
I thought I would be so excited to see and hang out with some people here, but really it's been kind of a disappointment - then again maybe I'm the disappointing one. I think I truly have just become too ingrained with Muncie and a completely different lifestyle than the one I'm sorta forced to live while I'm here. I'm not at all myself when I'm here anymore. I'm a quiet little weirdo now when I'm in Grant County. I have nothing in common with these people anymore. Not a thing to say to them. I'm ready to go back. It's just so ironic to me because I was sure that I was gonna hate going back to Muncie, but now it seems like it can't come soon enough.
I miss my roommates. I miss my friends there. I even miss the terrible fucking roads that give me a flat tire everytime I ride on them. Gas City/Marion are facades of home. There is absolutely nothing for me here. Nothing but conservative Christians making me extremely uncomfortable - and pill heads making me just as extremely uncomfortable.
I can't wait to go back. I need to go back. I can't wait to go back.
Come say hi sometime.

Uncovering the Old

Not being able to express myself to someone at the time I need to is a big problem of mine. I always think of something I should say or do for someone I've been thinking of, but then when it's time to put up, I shut up. 

I always think immediately afterwards, man, why didn't I say this or that, and I will continue you to think of great things I could've said or done at the time when it would've mattered, but by then it obviously doesn't matter.

I got kicked out of college today. I stressed over it for a few hours. But I'm over it now. I'm still not exactly sure what I'm going to do about it, and really it could seriously affect my life, but I was sitting here thinking about it earlier and I realized that though they can deny me an education at their university, they cannot deny me my home, my clothes, my mom, my movies, my bike, my music, my job, my friends, my good friends, or the insane amount of love I have for all of these things. The reason they can't deny me these things is because I will never let them. These things are safe with me, and these things can count on that. I can count on them. My life is sustained through them. Not an education at their university. 

gutter mouth, rutter butt

I feel like God has almost become a back up plan for me. That's never what I intended or thought would happen in my life. So why has it happened? I think God must've just planned it that way.
