Father Knows Best

My dad is so cute. Apparently my mommy spilled the beans about my love woes to everybody in the family because I’ve gotten calls from my aunt and my dad. My dad’s call was the best because we don’t really talk about serious issues. And when they do come up in conversation it’s usually us arguing and disagreeing about whatever.

Anyway, he called me and was trying to talk to me in English but he can’t really express himself as well as he could in Chinese so then he switches to Chinese with some English words in every now and then.

He asked me what was wrong because he heard me talking to my mom about it last night for about an hour. I told him I was thinking about moving back home at the end of the year. He told me that love is hard and the my first love probably won’t be my last and that I am still young and there is still a lot of time for me. He said moving back home won’t fix anything for long. It was funny because that wasn’t the reason why I’d be moving home.

I told him about Daniel wanting to get married when we get older and starting a family together. My dad was actually ok with it! He said that he and my mom were apart for about five years during the war and he was in the army. He said that after school I could move back home and maybe we could pick it up from there. If it was meant to be. If not then there is no point in forcing it.

I was so happy that my parents didn’t have a negative word to say about the whole situation. It felt so good to have my parents be supportive of me. I hadn’t told them anything about Daniel and I during all the years we were together, but now I’m glad that they know. It puts my mind at ease and my heart on a higher plane.

They are planning to come see me this weekend. Which will be cool because my roomate will be gone this weekend for her birthday and the whole apartment will be mine! sweet eh?

I just felt like I knew where I was going now and I knew what needed to be done.

The world is my oyster. (What does that mean exactly?)

Moving On To Higher Ground

Julie is back. Adrienne is coming back this weekend. Fall semester will be starting up again and I will be working at the bookstore (even if it is temporary). I’ll meet some new people. People will be moving into the building soon meaning more parties and whatnot.

I need to start a new future, a new life. He fucked up the situation and meh, sucks for him and any other girls who happen to believe him or in him like I did. It really is a fucking shame though.

I can go back to my plan. I’ll move on and I’m starting today. I’m taking care of ME.

Strings That Tie To You

I’m on a roller coaster that never really reaches the apex. It keeps sliding back down… backwards… at frightening speeds.

I went to the movies yesterday and It’s so hard to do anything without relating it to him in some way. Which would make sense since I have been doing everything with him since we were in high school. It’s like I don’t remember life before him. The movies, walking by a diner, looking out at a scenic view, walking into a music venue, looking at apartment listings, listening to my favorite 80s songs (this especially), being in the city at night, I can’t get away. He is always there and I wish it would stop.

The Truth Comes Out

Daniel called me this morning at 2 or maybe it was 3, either way I was too groggy to look at the clock. He sounds really sad, I can tell because he kept telling me how much he loves me and not to ever forget that. That prompted me to ask if he was ok because it sounded like he was about to go off and rob a bank or something.

I wish he had just moved up here when I asked him to…I don’t know for sure if he would be better off than he is now but it couldn’t be any worse, plus we would at least have each other. I’m making a mix tape (CD really) for him right now, like that is going to make things better.

6:30AM 7/20/04
Well Daniel isn’t as bad as I thought he was because he apparently kissed some girl. I don’t know if this should bother me or not. On one hand he’s saying that if he is “with someone” he wants to be able to be with them. Then right after that he’s saying that he wants to be with me but I’m too far away, but he loves me and yadda.
