I'm shutting my doors and putting my walls back up

so yeah. this weekend i had alot of fun [[CULT HERO]] [[RUN PENTAGON RUN]] but i also learned alot, and at first, it was things i didnt really wanna know. but now that i know them, i think im all the better for it.

specifically,

so one of my really good friends and i were talking;;;

her: i know why guys never like you.
me: oh really? enlighten me.
her: you're too high maintenence.
me: what???? ME, high maintenence? you have got to be kidding me.
her: well not high maintenence in the you-take-too-long-to-get-ready and you-only-care-about-your-appeareance kinda way. its just that, you know exactly what you want. you have this idea of who you want to spend the rest of your life with and i think guys see that and are afraid to get too close to you; because they think that they are going to fall short of your expectations and hurt you somehow.
i mean, you just know what you want, and im not saying thats a bad thing.
me: im not asking for perfection...
her: i know that, but do they?

so...yeah.

anyways...

so i kinda went out on a limb this weekend...and it didnt work out. im not really worked up about it or anything but i guess you could say that i am closing my curtains & removing the welcome mat. im not just blocking everything out again. but its just that it's so much easier to let it go than feeling something... I'm scared to death to find out what he really thinks of me. And maybe I'm just scared to face the things I feel. It's just easier to walk away from everything. but on the other hand- if you know me at all- you know that i dislike taking the easy way out...so i dunno, i just guess we will have to see where i go from here.















Today's Quote

The world is not moved only by the mighty shoves of the heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker.

-Helen Keller








You Are A Poplar Tree

People tend to look up to you, and it's a bit lonely at the top.
Inside, you are not always self confident, but you show great courage.
Mature and organized, you are reliable in any situation.
You tend to have an artistic or philosophical outlook on life.
You are very choosy in love and take partnership seriously.














Well, it seems to me that the best relationships, the ones that last, are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person & you see something more than you did the night before, like a switch has been flicked somewhere, & the person who was just a friend is suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.

Well, I think you're friends wrong. I mean that it's a good idea know what you have in mind and what you like and what you don't. That way your not just settling. But what I think she was trying to say was that if the guy isn't exactly how you imagined you'll refuse him, and that's not good. But I don't think you're like that at all. I love you! Please put your welcome mat back.
