welp... tonite is an evening of enjoying the silence... Parents are in Michigan dealing with a flooded basement. Girlfriend is working. ex's best pals are in Minnesota. Couldnt find anyone. Yeah it was cop guy who cancelled. I am so confused. I kinow I shouldnt give it much thought. But after last night all the teary loneliness... and tonite he wanted to stay home alone. I suppose, when I was at my worst, I did relish it from time to time. It probably sounds sick. To enjoy the sadness. But when I was sad, no social activity did as much for me as crying to sad songs. I cried a little today too. I still have my moments, dark ones. It's odd. Cop guy apologized earlier for layin it all on me. I told him noone deserves to be alone without anyone to talk to. Its moments like that I realize how lucky I am to have found this place. It is a source of strength. And every day has a bright moment when I sign on and find a hug or message waiting. I should make a list of the songs I post... that way I will know if I am ever repeating myself. I love the wreckers. I have been a michelle branch fan, kinda, but the wreckers. Great stuff. Poppy kinda country. This song makes me wish I still smokedCigarettesGot my headlights shining Down an old dirt roadSmoke my cigarettesI should quit, I knowThe radio’s playingold country songsSomeone’s leaving, someone’s cheating,on and onI think I might likeThe quiet nights, Of this empty life'Cause someday maybesomebody will love me like I needAnd someday I won’t have to prove 'Cause somebody will seeAll my worth but until thenI’ll do just fine on my ownWith my cigarettesAnd this old dirt roadSee I left anothergood man tonightI wonder if he'll miss meLord knows I triedBut I think that maybethe thing that I did wrongWas put up with this bullshitfor far too longI think I might like[Cigarettes lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]The quiet nights, Of this empty life'Cause someday maybesomebody will love me like I needAnd someday I won’t have to prove 'Cause somebody will seeAll my worth but until thenI’ll do just fine on my ownWith my cigarettesAnd this old dirt roadI ain’t gonna sleepI don't wanna dreamAbout the things that I used to needI aint’ gonna cryOr go on living liesI'm just gonna drive'Cause somedaymaybe somebody will love meAnd someday I won’t have to proveAll my worth But until then I’ll do just fine on my ownWith my cigarettes and this old 'Cause someday maybesomebody will love me like I needAnd someday I won’t have to prove 'Cause somebody will seeAll my worth but until thenI’ll do just fine on my ownWith my cigarettesAnd this old dirt road

You have a great big heart. I hope you protect it! Do you think he was a little embarassed after having exposed himself? That\'s the great part of DS... anonymity. You were thinking of of him, who was thinking of you?

ya know I wondered that. Cus I know he was home all nite, he did sign on a couple times. He said he didnt feel good, thats why he cancelled. I think embarassment could be a very possible reason. Or just that need to be left alone. I used to do that when I was a teen. My friends would call and tell me what plans they made but I was so depressed that i was never in on the planning, I\'d opt to stay home and feel sorry for myself.
I am trying to protect myself. But i do tend to wear my heart on my sleeve and I know that is why I have been broken before.
And I agree wholeheartedly about DS. We have something so good here. I read my journal entries some time (as I will this series) and think... what was goin thru my head? But our opinions of each other dont change with a journal entry or my occasional misfit advice. lol. There were no expectations to begin with. Just a place to let it go. I have half a mind to mention this site to him... but he\'d know my handle. lol.

Yeah, I don\'t tell anyone my screen name, in real life, and no real info on-line. Many people have mentioned wanting to get together, knowing my real name, etc. but I know that would ruin it for me. As it is the people on-line know more about who I really am, and what I really think, than the people in my real life!
BTW, I\'ve never thought you\'ve written anything odd. Never. You always sound very real and full of heart.
