I'm looking for backing for an unauthorized auto-biography that I am writing. Hopefully, this will sell in such huge numbers that I will be able to sue myself for an extraordinary amount of money and finance the film version in which I will play everybody.

I remembered my promise to my best friend that I wouldn't hurt myself, so I didn't. :)
Stained Glass Life
~*~*~
I watch from a distance
As my life is shattered into pieces,
It crumbles down before my eyes
And leaves no traces of what it once was,
But is broken glass not still beautiful?
Can crumbled stone not be put to use?
If I place the pieces right
And leave design to greater forces,
Then I’ll become the artist
Of a life more beautiful than before.

I went into the newsagents instead of the chemists, and bought myself a 2005 diary (stationary makes me happy, plus i needed one) and a Discworld novel (which also made me happy). Can't afford to do it everyday, but it made the start of my week a lot better than it looked like it was going to be :)

The last time I wanted to Si, I didn't because I told myself (over and over) that I was stronger than that...

it's hard though. :cry:

Because I realized rationally that it wouldn't have done me any good.
So this is the new year - and I don't feel any different...

because my wonderful boyfriend called me and made me feel beautiful and special, and i thought about how much he would be hurt if i si'd.

betsy
is it getting better, or do you feel the same? does it make it easier on you now you've got someone to blame? well it's too late tonight to drag the past out into the light. we're one, but we're not the same. we've got to carry eachother.

I wanted to si to make the su thoughts stop. Instead I took the time to work out what was wrong, I wrote each thing on a post-it note, and then rationalised it underneath. I looked at all the things that made me want to su, and made myself see why they were all actually ok or going to be ok.

to me a tear drops purpose is to hold pain and when the pain becomes to much of a heavy burdon. the tear drops just let go and they stream down my cheek past my nose and to the floor...and then the whole process begins again.

I went to sleep.
there's an opposite to deja vu. they call it jamais vu. it's when you meet the same people or visit places, again and again, but each time is the first. everybody is always a stranger. nothing is ever familiar.

The last time i wanted to Si i didnt because....I cant handle to see the Look in Jeffs eyes...He loves me soooo much. And I almost lost him because if this(because I pushed him away) and now he is with me again. I dont want to see the look in his eyes if I fail. I know that every time i cut.....it chips a peice of his heart away.

Last time I wanted to SI, I didn't because I was currently in a psychiatric hospital- and didn't want to give the ammunition to keep me in there longer.......

I know poor reason.

Another one too.... I chose not SI when I got out because I didn't want a couple of professors to find out.
