My Roller Coaster Ride

07-01-08

Life has been better

Lately,

Than ever before.

Never have I been

Capable,

Of living the life

I expected.

Now,

I am doing it.

Dee said

“how old were you when I met you?”

“I was 14 and You were 19”

I replied.

“you have every thing that you wanted too by this age.

I remember you telling me,

What you were going to do,

Way Back then

And

Now you’ve done it.”

I guess that is probably the best

Complement I have

Ever had.

The city

Is washed out today.

Like

A picture printed

With out enough ink,

Or post card left in the sun.

The news said that

The haze is

Smoke

Drifting up here from

The massive fires

In Southern California.

Its sad,

The fires there

are devastating,

Eating threw peoples homes and lives,

Like the

Neighborhoods were a field of hay.

It seems to me

That lately

Weather has been more extreme.

We had another

Set of

Tornado like winds,

In Clark county.

When is it going to stop

I wonder.

Will humans,

Consume this world like

A virus,

Taking every once

Of her resources

Until she is exhausted.

I hope not,

There has been a

Movement

Lately, more people are

Eco-friendly.

Not so tree hugger now.

It’s trendy to do

All the small stuff.

Like recycle,

And drive greener cars.

People are conscious of

The issues

And are watching their

Carbon Footprint.

Tonight was

Nothing short

Of

Amazing.

Chris came over.

I baked pizza,

We drank beer

And I drank a little wine.

We watched 2 movies.

They were bootleg copies

I bought from a guy

who comes to the car lot.

I think,

At first he was friends

With Chris Robinson

Now he knows me.

He calls me sweetheart

And lets me look through

His shoe box of movies unattended.

We call him Broadway.

I don’t know why.

Chris made me feel

So good tonight.

The way he touches me

Sometimes. . .

It leaves me

At a loss

For words.

Today,

He came up

Behind me

And

Kissed my neck

Twice.

Once when I was on the phone

And once when I was cooking.

It was the sweetest

Thing

Ever.

I love when he does that.

There was a lighting storm,

Up in the clouds.

It was really exotic

The clouds lit up orange

Like little balls of fire.

I stood in front of him.

He pulled me onto him,

Not sexually,

Just comfortable.

We slept

For awhile on the couch,

Me sprawled out,

Literally,

On top of him,

And it didn’t bother him

He told me to

“knock it off”

When I asked

If I was crushing him.

I think he likes when

I lay on him.

I could

Feel Him

Tonight.

He felt warm like

He was happy.

We didn’t really

Mean to have sex.

It kind of,

Just happened,

Smooth,

You know.

He started by banging me,

that’s my favorite,

He made me come

A couple of times.

Mmmmm….

Just thinking of it gives me tingles.

He didn’t finish.

Or

He said he didn’t.

I think he did though.

I know what his face

Looks like when he comes.

Tonight

He made that face.

I could care less either way.

I was ready to be done.

For some reason,

He kind of

Freaked out.

Took off fast.

He said

That its not me.

I know he’s telling the truth,

By the tone in his voice

He kept saying he was sorry,

I don’t know why.

He did every thing right.

He asked if I was ok.

I told him

That I was fine.

That girls brains don’t change

Like guys brains do

After they come.

He asked me what that meant.

I told him that

Every thing was just as good

Now

As it was before we had sex.

I gave him a hug,

Told him,

“maybe next time you can stay.”

He said that he would come stay the night

Tomorrow night.

I was surprised.

I don’t think we have ever

Hung out two nights

In a row.

I have always kind of made a point of

spreading it out.

I’m glad,

it’s a step forward,

For both of us.

_________________

07-03-08

Well that didn’t work out.

I am so sick

I had to cancel our date.

It sucks but oh well.

We’ll make up for it later

I’m sure.

I really hope Culver

And

Kristina

Hook up.

First of all,

Culver and Chris

Are buddies,

So we could all go out,

K and I could hang

Culver and Chris

Could hang.

It would make family events,

Way more fun.

Second,

Culver is really

A nice guy.

I don’t want him.

I don’t know why

I never felt that crushy feeling

For him.

He is a good boyfriend

On paper.

So

I was interested,

But

He would never have

“done it”

For me,

If you know what I mean.

I think Kristina

Deserves a guy like Culver.

Some one to show her

She is worth something.

And She is wanted

By some one who

Isn’t garbage.

I am so congested.

My head feels like

I’m in a jet

Lifting off.

My chest is heavy

And my ear drums feel

Swollen And sensitive.

All my glands in my neck

Hurt Inside and out.

When I cough

It comes in fits,

Its even worse

because my throat

Hurts so bad.

I think I’ll chug some

Nyquil

And pass out.

______________________________________

07-05-08

Yesterday was the 4 th of July,

I wish I hadn’t been sick.

Mom came over,

She buzzed around

All day

Going way over the top

About everything.

I had to yell at her to stop,

She never did.

I’m so tired of that.

My whole life,

She has done

Whatever she feels is best

With no regard for others.

She asks to be waited on,

Bosses around children,

Has over the top theories

About everything,

And she tells you about

The same ones

Every time

She hangs out with you.

Its like she has a canned

Planned

Speech to say

And that’s all

She knows or has interest in

Talking about.

Even if you start talking

About something

Interesting

To people other

Than her,

She will either

Some how regain control

Of the conversation

And direct it back to her own

Self interest,

Or

Accuse you of cutting her off.

She says things

And makes people

Do things that are weird

And

Uncomfortable

All the time

And

She wonders why

No one wants her around.

She will go into your

Refrigerator

Pull out food

And tell you why

You shouldn’t eat it.

I wanted to have

A glass of wine,

On independents day,

In my house.

She had a

Temper tantrum

And

Called me an alcoholic.

She always has some

New health issue.

She excuses

Any inappropriate behavior

By saying her insulin was messed up.

When she says that

I almost bust up laughing.

Every one knows a diabetic,

Never have I met any one who acted like that.

I’m tired of it.

Yesterday I was sick.

She took advantage of me.

She walked all over me

Knowing that

I really didn’t have the strength to

Fight her.

I kept telling her to shut up.

Some times

Even I have a hard time

Pretending

To care about the bull s---

She talks about.

She preaches

Constantly,

About eating healthy,

Eating organic,

Taking care of your self

Exercising,

But she’s fat,

Obese,

Huge.

She is the single most unhealthy person

I have ever known

And she looks like crap

All the time.

She is always telling me to

Change my clothes

When she wears

Ratty value village looking clothes

That don’t fit

And have never

Ever

Been trendy.

She tells me what to do at work

Though she has never held down a job.

She comes over and cleans my house

Reprimanding me for messes

When she herself

Never cleaned while we grew up.

She was lucky to get out of bed

At all for awhile.

She treats her husband like s---.

Embarrassingly bad.

Every time

She goes any where around

People I know

They ask me later

Why she treats him like that.

Even people at the lot

Asked me why he lets her do that to him.

They came over early

Stayed for like

12 hours.

It was horrible.

Pete was cool,

The fireworks were cool,

We ate good food,

Mom was a problem,

Like an unruly child

Making the whole house stressful.

It one point

I hid in my bathroom,

Sat on the toilet

And

Wished she would just go away.

It wasn’t fair

I am so sick

Even sicker today,

From the stress no doubt.

All the way up till the end

She didn’t heed my wishes,

Even though we were in my house,

She couldn’t be a guest,

Well

I don’t know that I will have her back.

I know she is my mother

But man,

I cant handle the

White trash

Over the top

Way

She delivers

White collar

Information.

On another note,

The fireworks

Were

Amazing.

I watched out my widow

As

Mortar after mortar

Exploded.

It was beautiful,

We could see

Part of the Lake Oswego show,

Than oaks park was a good view,

Than downtown Portland had its show,

Than fort Vancouver did there big blow out.

We could only see part of that in real life,

But we watched it on tv

And heard

The music it was choreographed to,

While we watched it out side.

BG came over,

He watched the show and left,

I didn’t even kiss him

I think that he should

Get the message.

_____________________

06-06-08

Yesterday ended badly,

I wanted some one

To make me feel better.

To take care of me while

I was sick.

Mom obviously didn’t work out

So I called Cole.

Stupid me.

He tried to get a ride

And like a teenager

Couldn’t.

I went and got him,

In Donald.

I live about 45 minutes from there

Each way.

He was rude to me straight off.

I walked up and gave him a hug.

He was sitting on the floor

Facing the TV.

He didn’t make any effort to move

When I hugged him.

I went to the bathroom

And

Walked in on Kelsey.

Oops.

I went to grab Cole and go

But he was walking out for a

Smoke.

I followed him,

“are you ready?”

I said.

He looked at me as though

I was crazy.

“No, I want to smoke a cigarette first.”

He said.

I truly felt like crap

So I asked him,

“can you smoke it in the car? I just feel really sick.”

He said no so I went and sat

On the hot tub that I gave to K

I watched him smoke for a second

Than went in and used the bathroom.

When I came back out

He was ready

So we left.

I let him drive,

Because he wanted to.

He got in and told me,

That “no one had ragged on him like that lately,”

I didn’t think I was ragging

And that “I’m not one of his girlfriends, so he’s not obligated to hurry”

I don’t know why,

But that hurt.

Not because I’m not one of his girlfriends

But because,

I thought he would have hurried

Any way because I was sick.

I would have done it for him.

The whole car ride

I got to hear

What a piece of s--- I am.

He said that everyone says

That I’m a stuck up b---- .

God, I hope that’s not true.

He told me all about

His new 26 year old

Girlfriend.

She

Aparently

Makes more money than me,

Owns a home,

Flips houses,

Is a financial consultant,

Dresses better than me

And

Strips

On the side.

He said that if I dress better

And had a better attitude

Than I wouldn’t look so fat.

I feel like dying now.

And it’s the next day.

We came back to my apartment.

He kept laying into me

Saying that I judge everyone

That I acted like I was better than other poeple.

He told me

That K told him

That I tried to get with

McClure and he didn’t want me so

I tried to get with Culver,

And that he didn’t want me.

I hate her.

And

I hate me today.

I feel like dying

I don’t think I have ever

Been as depressed as

I feel right now.

I text McClure last night.

Thought maybe he would say

Something,

Anything,

That would make it so I had some hope.

He never text back.

So

I hardly slept last night,

Cole is in my bed,

But

I cant stand the thought of him

Touching me right now.

I can’t really stand the thought

Of being touched period today,

I just feel worthless.

I want to curl up in a ball,

In a corner

With the door locked.

I don’t know If I ever want to come out.

I cant stand the thought of facing

Work

Tomorrow.

I’ll handle it,

Right now I‘m not sure how

But
I will.

I made $1400 less last month

Than normal.

Dad, made me feel like s---

About it yesterday,

When I needed a draw to pay my rent.

I told him that its his job to buy the cars,

And that if I only have 70 cars to advertise

And we sell 67

that’s good numbers.

But

I cant afford to live on that,

So he needs to buy more cars.

We usually are sitting at 110

In stock,

To advertise.

He said its hard to buy right now.

I already knew that,

But he is the one who is supposed

To go out and find them.

So,

I’m broke too.

I have no one to turn to.

I really need some one

To talk to.

Some one who understands

What I’m going through.

I want that person to be Chris,

I don’t know If I could stand

To tell him all of this though.

I don’t know why,

But I feel like every time

I’m around him,

I stumble over my words,

And cant quite get sentences to form correctly.

I feel like an idiot.

I don’t know why he does that to me.

I should be more comfortable around him.

He makes me feel like a little girl.

I have done a life time of things

In 21 short years

And

Chris McClure

Makes me nervous.

I struggled,

With mom and her abuse,

Then dad and his DUII

And his Recovery

Which basically made him an a---- .

He was always yelling,

For the first while we were with him.

I remember that night,

I was watching

The oscars,

Dad was running late.

He got home,

Stumbled up the steps,

I grabbed him,

Helped him up.

This was not really that strange

Of an occurrence to me,

It was a much more

Stable and predictable

Home than I had just left.

He asked me to cook some Mac and cheese.

I helped him upstairs where he sat to talk to K

I went and cooked Mac and Cheese like he had said.

When I brought him his dinner,

K told me that he had fallen asleep

Mid sentence and laid back on the chase lounge

With his feet still firmly on the ground

And passed out.

When the cops got to the house later,

They asked me if he was drunk when he got home,

I told them that he had drank several beers since getting home.

They asked why his truck was full of beer cans.

I was at a loss.

They asked why there was white paint

All down one side.

Once again,

I had nothing to say.

They told me that some one had reported him,

For hit and run.

They told me that the person had followed him.

All the way to Vancouver then home.

They told me,

That it was one of his customers,

On the freeway,

That he was supposed to help them

But instead he sideswiped

There van

And ran.

Quality.

Any way,

After that,

He had to quit drinking

And he was a total dick.

I was still completely damaged,

And acting out,

From the situation with mom.

I had met a boy who I thought might

Understand me,

He seemed so old and experienced.

He was not a good kid,

I think I had low self esteem.

He was in and out of jail at

15

I got pregnant.

I have always been against abortion

But at 14

Your family sees that

As the only way out.

I was young and glassy eyed,

Looking at the glamour

Of the situation,

Not taking into account

What having a child means.

My dad told me that

I would get fat,

And that Eddie would leave me,

He said that he would end up raising the child,

And that he didn’t want another kid,

He was to old.

He told me to stay in my room

Until

I decided

To

Terminate the pregnancy.

I don’t remember

Exactly what happened

And I don’t remember

The days following all that well.

I remember Sue

Telling me that it would be ok,

That It would all go away,

She explaned the abortion,

Told me she had done it

That I should do it.

Looking back,

It was probably the most

Life shaping talk Sue and I have ever had.

It may have been the most

Life changing talk I have ever had.

After all,

I walked out of that room

Knowing that I wouldn’t be a mom,

Not yet.

And Having a child,

Would have changed everything.

I remember Sue helping me

Get an appointment,

She always stepped in for dad

On those Mom jobs that he really

Couldn’t and wouldn’t want to do.

The clinic was scary,

I went for a consultation visit.

They did an ultrasound and

Made the appointment.

Durring this time

I found some drugs

that I had experamented with

Durring the End of the mom years.

Stupid me,

This girl told me she wanted them,

So I brought them to her.

She took them at school.

I got caught.

She freaked out,

Said she was Oding,

Had her stomach pumped.

They expelled me.

I don’t remember much about

That time.

I was lost I guess.

I managed to pull it together,

For a meeting with the principle.

He said that he knew the principle

At my last school.

She had told him that

I was a good girl,

That I would do any thing

To fit in though.

While at the time I didn’t agree

In retrospect,

My self esteem was pretty low,

And she was probably right.

He let me finish the term,

In a special program

Where,

I would go to the same class room

Every day,

Monday thru Thursday

From 11am-4pm

I think

He knew that I was going threw

A hard time.

How could he not,

My mom was still trying to get us.

They banned her from coming to the school,

And wouldn’t give her any of K’s info.

She was Irate.

When I went for the abortion,

All

I

Remember

Thinking

On the way there

Was. “No, No, I don’t want to do this.

I don’t want to kill my baby.”

Some how

I managed to get through it.

Eddie was there,

But not when they did it.

They held my hand,

And explaned what they were doing.

I remember

I couldn’t get the scared look

Off of my face.

I wanted to be adult about it,

But I couldn’t

I felt so guilty,

So petrified.

In the recovery room,

He held my hand,

They gave me

Cookies and juice.

I cried.

They gave me a depo shot.

Little did I know at the time

That stuff is poison.

When we left,

I saw Tacobell.

I don’t know why but I was starving

Like I was empty.

I asked to stop,

Sue told me that the same thing

Happened to her when she did it

And that she went to the same tacobell.

I don’t know why

But

That was the most

Comforting thing

She could have said.

At some point shortly after,

Eddie and I broke up.

I was so angry

Angry at me

My dad

My mom

My Sister,

Who would lock her self in her room

For hours

At the time.

I went down town

Looking for love.

I was one of the lucky ones

I was found by the guy that

Ran the show.

Dee.

He liked me

For him.

He wanted me

But never took it.

He let me stay with him.

In his storage unit.

We sold pot

On the square

I don’t know why.

Like I said

I was lost.

With out him,

Any one could have found me,

Turned me out,

Gave me drugs,

But

He claimed me,

Told the other guys to stay away.

He gave me confidence

He told me that I was something

He told me I was smart

Loved what I had to say.

He loved me for me.

The beauty, he said,

I had inside me.

Well

That’s enough of that.

Back to now

Belive it or not

Veezy called me

And brought

Me back from

The dark place I was in.

We talked for awhile

Friendly,

He was sweet.

Said that they wanted me to come down.

He said they need my smiling face down there.

So I’m going to go see them.

Thank god

For friends like veezy.

____________________________

So I took Cole back to K’s

I am not going to hang out

With him any more.

I found out that

Coles new Girlfriend

Is really

An ugly stripper,

And

Some one in her family

Is the one who flips houses.

McClure said he had plans

To go to the movies

With the riv.

Culver and I have standing joke

About when Chris lies.

We both can tell when its bull s---.

The thing that doesn’t make sense

Is why lie at all.

I wouldn’t care if he just told me

That he was shopping for a couch

With Culver.

Culver already told me that he was going to Ikea

This morning when he called me.

I wouldn’t have cared.

I would have just said to come over after.

Well he’s still supposed to come over later,

We will see.

_____________________

07-10-08

I have had it with McClure.

He blew me off again.

The worst part about it

Was the lying.

I don’t know why he lied

It doesn’t make sense

I asked if he wanted to do

Something.

He said no

That he was going to a movie with

His dad.

Right than Veezy

Walked in and said

So when did you want to go

Buy that couch tonight.

Chris was like

No I cant go I have to go with my dad.

Vezzy, looked at him confused

And said,

You just said you wanted to go.

Later they went out and

Bought veezy a couch.

Chris kept the lie going.

He even told me later

That he had just gotten out of the movie

And that it was to late to hang out.

I know they were at Ikea

Veezy told me when he called me that

He was going to Ikea.

I wanted to make sure

That it really was

A

Lie.

So,

The next morning

I walked up to Veezy

And said,

“Did you guys find a nice couch”

He was like

“first of all,

I was couch shopping,

Big-un may have been with me

But he wasn’t doing the shopping”

So I knew I was right

I usually am.

Its sad

But I date a

compulsive liar.

So, a couple days later,

I decided to shop some more.

I realized something.

I am a long term companion

Kind of girl.

I don’t like being single.

Single

Is

Boring

And

Lonely.

I like all the stuff that goes into a relationship.

All the family sort of stuff

Like when I had the boys.

Less the

Addictions

and

Abuse

We had a good family.

So,

I went online

And met someone new.

I think I really like him

He has so much character.

He likes old things.

Not trashy stuff,

Just nice old antiques.

It throws me off,

How much we have in common.

He, like me,

Works at a car lot, (does all of it)

Posts craigslist ads,

Likes older people stuff

(my affliction for puzzles, kniting and gardening)

Is 21,

Hangs out and lives in happy valley/ milwaukie area.

Smokes pot,

Likes cats,

His mom’s name is Diana

He went to collage for 2 years

And likes to drive.

Every time we talk,

We can have an educated

Opinionated but nice

Conversation.

Never have I dated

Someone who has there life set up.

He is an adult

Through and through

And so am I.

At this age,

It is so hard to

Find people who are adults.

Most of the time

Guys are teetering between

Child and adult right now

But this one is

All Man.

He says he wants to find

“The One”

I feel the same way.

I’m going to take it slow,

Go back to my good girl roots.

I am a good girl,

I was always

The good one

In a life full of bad ones.

He has never done hard drugs,

I told him of my experiences.

I told him

I wished I could take it back.

I had a good time.

Mom and Dad will love this one.

He is so sweet, career driven,

And traditional.

---------------------------------

Later

Sitting here,

I was wondering

Why

I’m having

A problem

Letting my self

Like This One.

BG kind of

Screwed with me

Because he made himself out

To be so different than

He actually is.

I was having a little problem

With him being

Weird

But

Than

I relized

That I like that.

I’m weird too.

I’m into all sorts of

Weird stuff,

Like history,

(did I mention that he wants

to be a history teacher)

Non main stream music,

Art, Photography, Writing.

I think the other thing

That was bothering me

Was that he has his own life.

I have always dated

People who didn’t really

Have themselves established.

They didn’t know who they were,

So I molded them into whatever

I thought they would be good as.

Like a pet, or a toy.


Dee

Was the only one

Who had his own character

From the start.

Now

Tony knows exactly who he is.

He brings to the table,

An adult life

Complete with

House, car, colorful past, Job

And not just your run of the mill job.

An everything job,

A car lot job,

Basically

Just like me.

We are both bringing worlds

That are complete,

Except for the other one of us.

So

Its weird to me.

I guess maybe its because

He doesn’t need me.

I have never not been needed.

Now,

I’m scared because that means

He has to like me for me.

I know its just my insecurity,

But I don’t know if my personality,

Morals, and character

Are going to meet up

To his expectations.

--------------------------------------------------

07-11-08

Today

Is

Hard.

Cole cut me down to nothing

Yesterday,

Once again

All I could think of

Was hiding in a dark place

Where no one could see me

And

I couldn’t see myself

He came into the sales office,

Said

“hey culver you wanna go see my Girl Friend naked?”

I was sitting right next to culver

Talking to him.

It was like being stabbed.

So I defended myself

Just a little

Threw in some comments.

McClure

Told me not to try and start s---

With my ex

In his office.

I couldn’t believe it.

Here Cole was,

Talking s---,

And

I was the one who got told to stop.

I thought they were my friends.

I guess I was wrong.

It hurt so bad when I left.

I didn’t say good bye

Just got in my car

And

Drove away.

Right after I left

Work called.

I answered, it was Cole.

I said hello,

All he said was

“I’ll think about you when I come in her ass”

I have never had words

Hurt me so bad.

I found out who my friends are.

I guess I don’t have any.

Before

I thought I had friends

Who cared about me,

A sister who loved me

And

Some one to date who cared about me.

Turns out,

I’m all alone.

I’m Tired of trying.

I don’t have any one who cares about me.

Maybe Dad,

But that’s it.

McClure Cares more about what

Other people think than

About me.

Culver

Just does what’s in it for him,

With out thinking about

Any one else.

I’m so tired of feeling like every ones door mat.

I just want to feel special,

Just a little,

I don’t need much.

Just some one who cares.

Some one who wants to hear

About my day.

Some one who would stand up for me.

I don’t know if any one would.

I cant stand this,

I’m so depressed

It cant be healthy

But at this point,

I don’t really care.

Some times

I want to leave everyone,

Tell em all

f--- You.

f--- You

For taking so much of me

And never giving back

And not caring.

These people have strip mined me

Of everything that made me love myself.

Leaving me with a gravel pit

Where my self esteem used to be.

I’m so done,

Something has to change.

Or

I don’t know if I can do it

Much longer.

07-15-08

I’m sitting here in my beautiful apartment

Staring out over my beautiful view,

Feeling empty

Like a mason jar.

I have all the things that I want

But

I don’t have love.

Sweet, sticky, honest

Love.

How is it

That reaching my goals so young

And

Being so career driven

Has isolated me from

The World I Live In.

I know I’m different

Because of my history.

I know that I am not young

Mentally

Like so many of my peers,

But

I too, am human,

I need friends

Social interaction.

I don’t know what

I’m looking for

I just know that I cant find it.

I feel empty,

The cards fell

And they left a mess.

I knew that it would hurt,

But not this much.

I don’t miss Cole

I miss having another person

To share with.

None of this

Matters to me when there isnt

Any one to share it with.

I want a family.

Maybe not in the traditional sense

Just one other person

To tell me everything

Who I can tell everything.

I know it makes me kind of a dork,

But

I put together a personal ad.

Here it is;

Hi my name is Angela,

I am an advertising manager by trade and title but I love to write. I am not the dark writer type. People often describe me as sweet and bubbly. I am in the middle of writing a book right now, just a novel. Its about 110 pages as of yet but I plan on making it as long as it needs to be to be done. I love deep discussions. My family owns a car dealership, it consumes allot of my life. I love it. I work hard and it rewards me well.

I know that I am young, I am only twenty one, but I have fit a life time of experiences in that short time. Sometimes I feel as though I'm on the second time around.

I grew up around here, I had a colorful childhood and moved out early, I went to collage at Johnson and Whales University in North Miami, I carried a 4.0 so they sent me to study at their International School of Business in Gothenburg, Sweden. That trip taught me so much about myself and the world we live in. I have a certification in Economics and European Studies. I never finished school, the business here needed me. I fully plan on finishing sometime. Not for the money, just because I love to learn. Than I came back to the states and took in two teenage boys who were in need of some guidance. I had them for just over a year.

I like movies and books, some fiction others not. Right now I'm reading a book on Sociology. I love to paint, people mostly, abstract. I like beautiful views. My apartment has panoramic views of Portland. I like camping, quading, boating, jet skiing, skiing and traveling. I'm a thrill seeker and I'm not very innocent. I have a past but I am a good girl.(unless its time to be bad) As far as makeup use, I draw the line at powder and mascara and it takes me all of 20 seconds to apply.

I don't have any kids, I hope to have some in the future but not for awhile. I understand about social classes. I don't really pay attention to it but I do have nice things. I think what separates people more than income or demographics is there interests and ability to think. I like people who think. If you think that I sound like some one that you would like to know email me back. You can learn more about me at www.myspace.com/angiesplace4u

Let me tell you something about me that isn't something I would say on a job interview. I love walking in the rain, I don't wipe the drops away, just let them slide down my nose and drip off. I love to play, sometimes, I like to swing and laugh just like I was 8 years old again. I love to cook, garden and be hopelessly romantic. I love cars, and I would be shocked if you drive a car that I have never heard of. I have class. I have experienced both sides of that coin and I have settled firmly in the hills. I don't like it when guys never let me pay, not always, just sometimes, especially when they complain about being broke. I'm not broke. Some guys are intimidated by women who can stand on their own two feet. If that's you, I'm sorry. I am not over the top about fashion but I dress well and carry my self well. I like stimulating conversation, and driving. Though I also like to be driven around. I have a nice car and will let someone I trust drive me around in it. I like to laugh. I love listening to music, all different kinds. Whatever is interesting gets on my play list. I like computers though I'm not great at fixing them. I like the teal crayon, its a deep color. I do sing in the car and I like Caramel Machiatos or a Milky Way Mocha. I am spoiled and a little high maintenance but I spoil myself and all I want really is to feel like a princess. I don't need a sugar daddy, I don't need someone clingy, I want a best friend and partner. Someone to tell everything to and someone to tell me everything. I do like a guy who is strong willed, I don't want a lay down. Sometimes I whine and need some one to tell me to stop. I'm not perfect but my flaws give me character. I don't know what more to say, so here you are. This is me.


I have my life put together except, I'm lonely. I just want some one to talk to, hang out with, be best friends with, fall in love with... maybe.


So, If I sound like what your looking for, than email me.


I think that displays the tip of the

Ice burg

Well.


I guess I need to figure out what I really want.

I have been seeing Tony.

He seems nice,

He’s a car guy,

But I cant help

But feel that there is something

He isn’t telling me.

He is also still in love with his ex.

I’m not really down to be second best

Or back burner.

But what do I want,

And why is it so hard to figure out.

I always thought

That if I got

To this point,

The point where I can live

Comfortably,

The point where I have my s--- together,

Someone else

Just as driven as me

Would just love me

Because of it.

What I have found is that,

There are very few

Guys,

My age

Who have

A life,

Well put together or not.

So

I continue

Feeling heavy.

Feeling low and

Feeling unwanted.

-------------------------------

This economy is getting crazy.

Banks are going nose up

Houses arent worth any thing

Jobs are scarce

The car market is flip flopping

Around like a dying fish

And

Gas doubled in price.

Freddie Mac and Fannie May dropped 45%

In six days.

Four days ago,

The FDIC

Took over IndyMac Bancorp.

People lost millions.

Bank accounts are only insured

Up to

$100,000.


Lots everywhere arn’t selling.

Not just one or two

Every lot I have been to recently.

The auctions are packed

The cars are over priced

And

The trucks are worth there weight in metal.

These are crazy times.

The government is sending out checks

From money that doesn’t exist

To

“stimulate the economy”

The problem is

Its monopoly money

That spends real.

Inflation is out of control

And

The middle class is the hardest hit.

Every dollar buys

Significantly less

Than it did a year ago.

People make the same amount

But

Mortgage payments doubled,

Gas doubled,

And

Every thing is more expensive.

The same brand of bread cost $1.09

Now cost $2.49

These are uncertain times.
