I'm so insanely neurotic!

I hate that I become a paranoid and untrusting freak so easily! It's 11:09 and Warsteiner hasn't called me tonight. He always calls, at least for the past couple weeks. I called him a little after 10 on his cell and he didn't answer, so I left a message. He always has his cell with him as far as I know. On Tuesday he left it on the table. He's probably out with a friend or a few friends. But my stupid self is wondering if he's on another date. He acts like he's completely into me, but what if he can act that way with anyone? And if he's out with friends, why didn't he just answer and tell me? He's been so completely cool and open and liking me and so I have absolutely no reason to doubt that and be upset that he hasn't called me tonight. But still, what the fuck?! Why didn't he answer and/or call back? I fucking HATE it when I get this way! I start analyzing every little thing to death.

In my defense, last weekend Little Brother and Future Sister-in-Law came for their bachelor and bachelorette parties, and 3 of Little Brother's friends picked me up. The guy who sat in the back seat with me, Bama, is unattached and was interested in me. The 2 in the front seat, one was married and the other dating someone. Both probably around my brother's age, so 24-26. Once we passed a girl who was wearing the tiniest skirt known to man. Both in the front were all over it, commenting, staring, etc. And when we got to the house where we all started out together, the rest of the guys weren't any better. One of the guys who lived in the house was 31, and he was cute, but as I found out later from Bama, he was wanting to hook up that night, even though he has a girlfriend. The guy in the car who had a girlfriend also wanted to hook up. As did another guy who has a girlfriend. They were all my brother's fraternity brothers. And they all seem like frat boys, and still seem like they're 21. But it was so disgusting to me, and so bothersome on that whole girl level.

I have no right comparing Warsteiner to them at all. First, he's 30. And acts very different than them. And is so nice and sweet and doesn't deserve this at all. I'm so bad at the beginning of relationships, I have no trust. We've only been on three dates, and realistically he could go on dates with other people. But honestly, if he did I would be put off, because of the way he acts towards me when he's with me. Like he is completely into me. And then that makes me wonder if he's just good at that! I swear, I am so insane!!!!

Tonight I have been productive for me. I took the bus a little past home to a place where I had seen wedding stuff displayed, a shop I mean, drycleaning and altering, so I figured I'd try it. It turned out great, the woman immediately spotted the things that needed to be altered. She's even going to take the whole skirt in on the sides, cause she said it was made for a bigger butt and figure - I LOVE her! And she pinned right above each boob on the seam, so it won't hang open. And on the back of the top to make it look like it fits better. I think it will actually look good! I started out hating this dress, but now that I have my super stomach-sucker-inner, it takes a little over an inch and a half off my stomach, and with the alterations, I think I'll look okay! Except for the fact that I need to lose 20 pounds. Well 10 would make me look good, 20 back to my fantastic self! But still, I feel much better about how I'll look now! Anyway, then I came home and because my cable box isn't working (tomorrow Comcast comes between 8 and 12, so I have a good excuse for being late to work - yay!) I put in The Mask of Zorro (it was on my mind cause The Meat mentioned it today for the dance that Catherine Zeta Jones and Antonio Banderas do during it. I can't remember the name of the dance, but it's the Bull dance) and then took off my toenail polish. All day I was intending to get myself a pedicure, but I took money out at the bank, sufficent for a pedicure and paying for the ticket at the game tomorrow and buying a couple beers, and I am so woefully low in money. I would be okay if it were just for me. I mean, I have to buy The Future Sister-in-Law two wine glasses that I promised her - $50, and a plane ticket to Indy for the wedding, and oh yes the altering is going be around $130 !!! And I have about $450 in my account after I took out my money. I was hoping to get a haircut before the wedding - luckily only $15 since I go to the Aveda school, and I will need random food. And I need to get something (obviously very cheap!) to wear to either the brunch the day before the wedding or the rehearsal dinner, since we aren't supposed to wear the same thing. But fuck, I have hardly anything to wear that looks good on me as it is! I can probably find something here. But the biggest thing on my mind is that I owe my friend, who is my ex-boyfriend from a year and a half ago but now just my friend, I'll call him The German (fittingly, as he's from Germany) $1225 that he loaned me to pay my first month's rent so early. I was supposed to immediately give him my security deposit from the old place of 1130 when it was returned, but I deposited it and since I kind of didn't pay any bills in June, I owed more now. And anyway, I haven't even payed him anything yet. And my grandma also gave me a check for $700 that disappeared - and it was supposed to be to help pay The German back and to pay for my expenses for the wedding. And my mom two weekends ago gave me a check for $300. I would have $150 otherwise. I haven't been spending a ton of money! I don't know how it disappeared! I did buy some clothes at Express - I had absolutely no work pants, one pair didn't fit and and the other pair was worn out and developed a little hole in the crotch/inner thigh area - so nice. And that reminds me that I'm going to return a shirt and pair of pants, so that will give me a little more money. Tomorrow at the game the ticket is going to be $53. I can't pay for Warsteiner, too, even though he's taken me out three times now. Oh and on the 31st - yes, a Sunday - and MY BIRTHDAY!!!! - a co-worker is getting married so we're all going. I'm planning on giving her a check for $50. Since it's my birthday, I will get some money from my grandparents. I'm so hoping to get maybe $800 total. I'll seriously get a money order for maybe $700 for Stephan. And then over half is paid. And then I'll tell him that I can pay maybe $200 a month, or maybe a little more? I so hate being poor!

I'm watching Noting Hill now. I love this movie! I love the soundtrack too! And it's 12:10 am and I have not heard from Warsteiner. I was going to title my blog tomorrow "I'm Going to Have Sex Tonight!!!!" but now I'm not so certain. I might now just be telling how we made out outside and etc but that I went home alone. Cause him not calling me tonight really makes me distrust him.

I'm just now finishing my bottle of wine, by the way. I haven't addressed that problem yet, but will someday.

I just got my iPod and am listening to the soundtrack to Notting Hill. All are such loving and romantic songs. And it's 12:22 right now. I was so excited about him and so ready to be with him, i.e. for him to fuck the shit out me. However, I'm now thinking not only no sex but that I won't invite him up. I don't owe him sex after all, and so often I feel like that, and then I just feel bad later. But fuck those guys! I'm so bothered that Warsteiner didn't call me tonight. He has I think called me most nights. Or he should have said what he was doing tonight. So I didn't become so insane. But I guess I'm insane even without him. Sometimes it sucks being me.

Quotes That Touch and Inspire Me

♥ I think that the most beautiful women I've ever met are the ones that know who they are, have stories to tell, ideas to share, wisdom to impart and love the skin they're in. No one can love us as we love ourselves. No one can take away our beauty and our dignity when we own those things. To me confident=beautiful. :: CeeCi

♥ I'd been feeling a little blue (for no particular reason) when I began thinking about things like attention, age and body image. Suddenly, it washed over me. I see people looking at me and I see them reacting. I began thinking about the times I notice the attention and realized its the days I'm strutting, the days I'm open and holding my head up. This got me to thinking further. How I perceive myself is what I show to others...People don't realize it, but they show the world everything about themselves in the way they move and act, in the words they say and the way they say them. A little confidence can lead to a lot of confidence. :: CeeCi

♥ When we believe in ourselves the world is an entirely different place and our place in it feels right and happy and healthy. :: CeeCi

♥ Remember that something incredibly wonderful is always possible!

♥ There are moments that are wonderful, if you let them be.

♥ Being distrustful put me in a very lonely place, a place filled with doubt and hypervigilance. I'm grateful I've learned to trust again, because in learning to do it, I learned to trust myself. :: CeeCi

♥ We're all a work in progress. I believe we will be until the day our lives end. Why fight it? I love the changes I experience. Some are certainly easier and more enjoyable than others, yet I wouldn't stop the process for any thing in the world. :: CeeCi

♥ We may run, walk, stumble, drive, or fly, but let us never lose sight of the reason for the journey, or miss the chance to see a rainbow on the way :: Gloria Gaither

♥ Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed :: Storm Jameson

♥ Love is everything. It is the reason we are here, and the wonder we take with us wherever we go.

♥ Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow :: Mary Anne Radmacher

♥ Just live in the moment, the moment you're in. Don't live two days from now. Don't live two hours in advance. Live now. And appreciate what you have now. Don't go any further. You have this moment. This second. Breathe it. Enjoy it. Live in it. :: Open Eyes

♥ Leap, and the net will appear.

♥ I've learnt that when we express our deepest feelings, even though we may stammer or be unable to find the right words, it always pays. It pays to be authentic.

♥ There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness :: Carl Jung

♥ I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge, myth is more potent than history, dreams are more powerful than facts, hope always triumphs over experience, laughter is the cure for grief, love is stronger than death :: Robert Fulghum

♥ You must learn day by day, year by year, to broaden your horizon. The more things you love, the more you are interested in, the more you enjoy, the more you are indignant about, the more you have left when anything happens. :: Ethel Barrymore

♥ Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens. :: Carl Jung

♥ I will try to be as honest as I can with myself. That is all that is required of me. I'll keep admitting and opening my hidden box of fears, hurts and insecurities, again and again, until I know each one of them by their first name. :: Anu

♥ It struck me that there is amazing beauty everywhere. Does it matter where you are or who we're encountering? There is magic all around us. The fact that we're alive, the fact that we're living in this place and time. The fact that we've met the people we've met, all of it, every bit of it, only contributes to the wonder that is life. :: CeeCi

♥ No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the starts, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. :: Helen Keller

♥ Half of doing anything is believing that you can.

♥ Often God has to shut a door in our face, so that he can subsequently open the door through which he wants us to go. :: Catherine Marshall

♥ Even if it burns a little low at times, the secret of life is to always keep the flame of hope alive.

♥ The three grand essentials of happiness are something to do, someone to love, and something to hope for.

♥ Some people will say that you are going the wrong way, when it is simply a way of your own.

♥ Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion. :: Martha Graham

♥ Life is a series of new beginnings, and in every ordinary moment there are a thousand miracles to behold.

♥ Don't let the approval of others determine your belief in yourself.

♥ When it's all said and done, when all the opinions have been uttered, preached, shouted, and shared, there is only one thing we can do: From this moment on...love.

♥ When you're stuck in a spiral, to change all aspects of the spin you need only to change one thing. :: Christina Baldwin

♥ You have to look for the joy. Look for the light of God that is hitting your life, and you will find sparkles you didn't know were there.

♥ Be the change you wish to see in the world... :: Gandhi

♥ Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

♥ We each have only a limited amount of time here. We have to do more with it - pay attention, explore, be open to all of life. Because we have only one chance, we have to make life seem longer than it really is. :: Viggo Mortensen

♥ Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible. :: Cadet Maxim

♥ Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore! Dream! Discover!

♥ What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail? :: Unknown

♥ To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides. :: David Viscott, M.D

♥ Right now it feels like:...no dream will ever remain unfulfilled...no desire will ever remain unanswered...no tear goes unnoticed and no effort wasted...the hills are alive and so are we...each moment is fresh and waiting to happen...and there will be garbage like situations all around...but it is upto us to light mud lamps in it...and glow in our own acceptance and appreciations... :: Anu

♥ I struggle with not feeling like I'm good enough at times. Usually, its because I'm pushing it too hard and have depleted my reserve. Yet, I know without a shadow of a doubt that no matter how heavy or thin, how young or old I appear to others it's what I feel on the inside that glows through. If I could give every person on this planet just one gift it would be the unwavering knowledge that they are beautiful and worthy of every good thing the universe holds. :: CeeCi

♥ It's easier to buy into the negative things we conjure about ourselves than the positive things. Knowing that is the first step towards changing the thoughts that keep us unhappy. With time moving forward, why stay trapped in the past? All we have is right here and right now, I intend to make the most of it! :: CeeCi
