So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from...
My sleep is fucked.
Tuesday, June 2, 2009 @ 9:08 pm
I've had a messed up sleep schedule for the last few days. (Wonder why.) If I'm not sleeping, it feels like I'm sleepwalking, going through the motions of getting ready for the day and doing my lab work and eating and going home.

I can't stop myself from engaging him in conversation when he starts it. I should just walk away (or ignore it if it's online), but in the interest of not letting him know something is bothering me, I talk to him like nothing's wrong. It's a sickness. I should distance myself right now, give it a little time and space maybe, but I feel compelled to not let him know that anything's wrong even though I want to tell him so. Fucking. Badly. That everything's wrong right now.

Jenny's distanced herself. She usually tells me everything that's happening in her life because she's my best friend in the program... but she neglected to tell me that last night she went out with Alex (Nicholas' twin). I had to hear about that from him. I don't know if she feels guilty for reassuring me that Nicholas was gay and that he liked me even when I doubted it (and quite rightly so it seems) or what, and if maybe somehow her spending time with the twin this soon after my own hopes had been dashed would make me feel worse about my own situation. Well, truth be told, I'm a little conflicted about the entire thing. If this is something she wants, I should be happy for her, but it's hard to be happy for anyone when I feel like shit. That having been said, I feel worse that she feels the need to hide this fact from me.

Can it be Friday yet? I'll leave all this shit behind for about 10 days while I visit home and hopefully over that time I can unload some of my emotional baggage...

She might have not mentioned it because it would've seemed like a bad joke to you. Going out with the twin after things turned out like they did? It was probably in your interest that you didn't know.

Maybe she's feeling horribly guilty for telling you that and knows that you are angry at her to some degree so she decided to let you be while she gathers her courage to talk to you again while you cool down.

I know how you feel.. sometimes I can't remember how I get to my classes, I just get there.

Man. It almost sounds like some craziness I went through, except there was no twin.

It'll clear. Though I don't really keep in touch with the guy all that much. I don't hate him, but I think the requisite "ok, I'm staying away from you because you weren't cool" ended up being a drifting apart.

Try not to lose any friends over this, but definitely take ranor-time.
