I have come to the realization that I am, in all senses of the word, a complete and utter freak. While I am quite worried for myself and more than vaguely horrified, I am also somewhat relieved that I can straight-facedly admit to it.
There are numerous reasons why I have come to this conclusion and most of them are stable facets of my personality. At some point in the distant past, I'm sure I hoped they were just phases, but I just realized about two and a half hours ago (it's just sinking in now) that they've always been around in some form or another and they don't plan on going away anytime soon.
I fear the last couple of years have just been the really splendid results of a potent mixture of repression and denial. The only difference between then and now is that now I believe there's no way my parents are responsible for everything that's the matter with me because, I mean, God, that would be even more disturbing than if I had brought it all on myself.
Lord help me when I'm out on my own and responsible for my own survival. I haven't a clue how I'll manage.
On a somewhat unrelated tangent, I'm completely flummoxed by how utterly obsessed I have been with The Smiths this past week. I don't understand it and I don't plan on trying to understand it, but I know on a very basic level that it has contributed to the overall WTF-ness of my mood right now.

This week has been plagued by headaches. Hair-induced, teeth-induced, eye-induced, car-induced, stress-induced, you name it and I've had it. It is really starting to get annoying. Right now, I've just got a my-left-frontal-lobe-is-trying-to-forcibly-remove-itself-from-my-skull-type headache and I'm in a right melancholy mood. Today has been alternately pleasant and horrible, with the horrible outweighing the pleasant by only enough to depress me mildly. In other words, nothing a few kind words and some comfort fic hasn't eased. ( Last Thursday, I picked up some manga and DVDs at the mall. ) March is always really hard for me psychologically. Not quite sure why, but around this time I have the tendency to retreat from RL responsibility and escape into hobbies and wanton hedonism. An early kind of spring fever, if you will. This is starting to bite me in the ass, as I have work piled up to my ears that I am obviously not making any effort to get done, but ah well. One must make choices and sometimes they're wrong. I'd prefer to come out of this month content and satiated, rather than overworked and depressive. Sometimes I just hit a spot in my day, week, month when I get a chance to just glide for a while. It's the point where the steady incline of life levels off for a bit and I have the ghostly sensation that I'm still going up. It's a short break in the general chaos. My creative juices, formerly engaged in such menial projects as exams and work and what-have-you, are left with my primary interests for a while and they have a cheerful little get together. Things that make me laugh make me laugh more heartily, things that make me cry make me cry more heavily, and, for once, PMS has nothing to do with it. Good people mean more to me and I'm more inclined to forgive. Right now, I'm sitting here with this goofy, sentimental smile on my face and I want to go do something nostalgic.
I am so.... well... I dunno. |
