"There was a time in our lives when we were so close that nothing seemed to obstruct our friendship and brotherhood, and only a small footbridge seperated us Just as you were about to step on it, I asked you:"Do you want to cross the footbridge to me?"--immediately, you did not want to any more; and when I asked you again, you remained silent. Since then mountains and torrential rivers and whatever separates and alienates have been cast between us, and even if we wanted to get together, we couldn't. But when you now think of that little footbridge, words fail you and you sob and marvel."

Okay. So, I hate my parents. Not like...I don't know. I'm not especially mad at them or anything today. They're just not good people. And I hate them. And seeing them everyday is killing me. I hate it that I'm like this. I wish I were a different person. Or that they had a different daughter who loved them or atleast liked them. They'd be happier, I wouldn't have suicidal urges so often.

I am not going to be sick. I am sick. I am one of those thirty year-olds who hates Christmas in the making. And I hate it! I want to be one of the amazing, sweet senior girls I meet who love their moms and treat them really well. But I can't. My mom curses in front of me and then goes to church on Sunday. She's half crazy. My dad said the s-word twice yesterday. He'll probly lecture me about skipping Youth yesterday. It makes me want to throw up. This family is a constant gag reflex. What's worse is they're all bi-polar except for Nick and Alyssa, who live in freaking Texas (can't blame their mom). I wonder if I have tricked myself into believing that all families are more or less like this. Obviously they aren't.

My dad has been angry at me all week because I skipped his choir concert to work on a school project. Excuse me for a moment. *runs to the bathroom, empties innards into toilet*

Ugh. I hate them I hate them I hate them.
How do you honor people you hate?
My worst fear is not that I'll end up like them. It's that I already am. I need to sleep. I've probly shaved 5 or 6 hours off of my normal pattern.

Talking about this makes me nauseous, but not talking about it is constricting my heart. Semi-literally.
Puking, puking,
Emily.

Today, in broadcasting, we had our party and Secret-Santa-ed. And Dennys got my name and he gave me Holidays on Ice. Dave Sedaris. What am I supposed to do with that? Who invented cursing and how might I ruin their lives? Anyone?
