Somebody is gonna hurt somebody before the night is through, somebodys gonna come undone, theres nothign we can do… gonna be a heartache tonight, a heartache tonight i know
i wanted to take a walk today, damn the heat. damn arizona for still being freaking hot, damn it all to hell. well im feeling pretty good. like, good. yay for that. its not there yet, but im starting to wonder if it isnt possible to have a boyfriend but still accomplish that feeling of self contentment for my life that i usually have when i have no interest in anyone. if it is well then super. if it isnt, well then whatever, being married and in love isnt all there is to life. i feel like my older self today, its kind of a nice feeling. i think it stems from me desire to wanna take a walk, hell even my desire to wanna blog. on top of that im looking at a stephen king book on the floor and i wanna read it.
guilty confession. im dating justin, and i do actaully like him now. im fairly certain of that ;). but at the same time, i cant help but think about stevie =|
its stupid cuz hes a junior, i have a boyfriend, im sure hes more desirable than i realize ((and therefore would have no interest in me)), i have a great boyfriend, and. well really thats it. its nothing, seriosuly. thinking about him this way reminds me of how i thought of justin right before latvia. i didnt even remember feeling this way till i read old blog posts. i reiterated my dislike for him but menitoned the fact that he seems the type id go for if the opportunity presented itself. if i was not dating justin then thats how i guess id feel about stevie, the type i might go for, if i was not going out with a great guy already. so this really isnt important in the slightest.
actaully it might be good i feel this way. i guess its cuz it makes me feel like im on equal ground with him now. i, by complete fault of my own, tend to put myself below people im interested in. i convince them and myself that I am the lucky one becase they even gave me a second glance and not the other way around. and i wouldnt even want it to be the other way around. id prefer both of us to be equally greatful for the others company. but like always i think ive convinced justin that hes the one lowering his standard to be with me. maybe he is, in the eyes of the masses. but ive rarely given a damn about the masses and ive decided that i dont want anyone to feel theyve lowered their standards for me, and if they do then i don wanna be with them because that means theyre stuck up. now i dont know if justin actaully feels this way, but im fairly sure he does. like he might go around thinking “i could go out with that girl and that girl and that girl and that girl… arent you lucky ashley i chose you?” but the fact is he is with me, and even if i dont tell him i find stevie attractive, i feel more on level being able to feel the way about other people that i know he feels. like with him and whitney; if he wasnt with me, he might be with her. well if i hadnt tried for justin (actaully i never really did try, i sorta fell into that one :D), i woulda tried for stevie. thats all this is. i think i need to stop belittling myself and make him happy to be with me. make him realize that i hold myself in some sort of reguard. maybe i could kill two birds with one stone and actaully hold myself in some regard??? it could work… whos to say?
ventura highway in the sunshine where the days are longer the nights are stronger than moonshine, youre gonna go i knowowowoowowowwo, cuz the free wind is blowing though your hair and the days surround your daylight dare seansons crying no dispair now the daylight gaters are in the air in the air, do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do…sorry boy but ive been hit by a purple rain-
now stevie aside, im looking forward to tonight *knowing inward grin* i went through a lot of work/pain to look good he better damn well appreciate it. hmm so there is a fear, and i dont wanna voice it cuz its my fear that somehow my mother knows this website exsists and reads my life. but im going to anyways, i wanna be able to reflect back on my 17 year old life when im 30 so this place exsists for me and no one else damnit. so should you stumble across it, go away and write about your own life, its rather nice.
anyways, so teh fear is this; i know hed like a blow job, boys are none to subtle. i know that im sure in his mind he thinks if he goes down on me first then id return the favor. this sucks for two main reasons, primarily; the idea of anyone going down on me disgusts, frightens, and embarrasses me. no way in hell i want that from him and no way id say yes. now as far as going down on him? well, i havent decided. it doesnt repulse me as does the idea of him going down on me. i wanted more time to decide this. but i know im gonna have to make a decision soon. tongiht ill stall and just wont do anything. but once hes made a move for it either way i can only delay for like two weeks max until i give a definite answer either way. why do i think hes gonna make a move now? well that goes back to why i am in pain…. hahahaha so for my 30 year old self to remember… waxing, then using nair, then shaving in under 24 hours is a VERY VERY VERY VERY bad idea… ouch, just ouch. lets reflect for a moment on why i would do this to myself-
so were in teh car, talking and what not. somehow we start talkin about how i wanna get lazer hair removal, from the waist down. and hes like really? i noticed you dont really shave (refering to my crotch, incase your slow) and i respond with, yes i do, just not like everything. and hes like yeah thats what i mean, youre the only girl ive ever met who doesnt. *stunned silence* me: what????!!????? him:every girl ive ever been with has *makes a rather long list of girls who shave completely* he goes on to say, “yeah it kinda through me off the first time; i thought about going down on you before but….yeah…” so now im utterly mortified go home and do this pain to myself. NOT because i want him to go down on me, but because i dont wanna feel like a fool anymore either. but honestly, i think its sorta gross. its all coarse, STUPID looking, the only advantage is if you were going down on the girl.
this takes us up to present day im in pain and i now have more razor burn than hair in certain places… the only problem is telling him nooooooo. id feel akward if i had to say, “yeah lets not do this…” there is no moral obligation there, except for whoa, id only be a half virgin, i didnt even think about that… and he’ll know there is no moral obligation so my reasoning would be unclear. heres the deal. i think it would feel really really good. i think id enjoy it very much. only thing is,not with him… and how could i explain that to him!??!?! its just id have to be more comfortable with the perosn, more of a bond there. feeling something closer to love instead of luke warm feelings of tolerance/like. plus id feel embarrassed. i only want a guy to go down on me if he wants to. otherwise im agraid theyd be all grossed out and yeah. so no, just no.
i dunno if i ever put this into writing, but ive decided i dont think im gonna be one of those who waits till marriage for sex or sexual acts. i know this is brekaing my dear old mums heart but heres how it is. its not a slut decision; its not kalyn just wanting the experience. its me being mature enoguh to realize what i want and how i want it and who i want it from. ie this oral sex thing. yes, physically i want it, but im smart enough to know myself enogh to know that i dont want it now or from justin. i think its important to be able to analyize what im feeling for someone else and do things taht arent incredibly chaste if its an indication of how i feel about him. that way i dont get to wrapped up in someone and end up doing somethign stupid like have sex and be emotionally crippled. id rather have a little fun, do a little bit of experimenting, but know my own limits and boundaries. i dont let myself get pushed into anything and i dont decide anythign in the haste and momentum of feeling. i dont want to regret things; that means doing things i wasnt ready for and not doing things i was read for. this is how im justifying anythign between me and justin. maybe its not the pious decision but its a healthy one. its been thought out. its how i feel and you cant change my mind. i use to be agraid my mother would read this and find this out about me, but frankly it would be a bit of a relief if she did. i wish i had bries and her moms relationship where there all open about htis. her mother doesnt judge her and just wants her to have thought out what she does before she does it so she doesnt get hurt. and look at brie, shes only ever just kissed a boy for the first time. my mom thinks if you give a child freedom theyll automatically abuse it, but its worked fairly well for brie…. i wish i could discuss this with her, especially since i think im more like her than she would like to admit. maybe she just doesnt wanna admit what she is herself. i dunno. but she was having sex at 16, not somethign i want to do. but she was not playing the perfect catholic girl. if i acted all chaste like sarah then thats just what i would be doing acting. everyones different, i dunno. i feel good about the decisions ive made and i guess even if i do disappoint many people in the end im the only person who has to face my own reflection in the mirror, and if see it and like it, what does it matter what other people think? this is part of the reason why i want to be 18. for some reason someoe dubbed that the magic number. right now my mom reads this she freaks out and makes me break up with justin, in 9 months when im 18 she reads it and decides im old enough to make my own decisions. but frankly, 18 is just a number. you cant let the governement decide when you child is an adult, as a parent you should be able to know when you child can think for themselves. whether anyone wants to concede to the fact or not i know i can think for myself. if i have to wait for my 18th birthday to exercize that right, then fine, but id rather they just know me enough to know i know what i am ready for.
wow that was longer than i intended it to be.
well yeah, in a nut shell that has radioactively grown super sized, there you have it.
whlep there is pot roast down stairs so im gonna go tend to it
mmmmmmm
in confidence
