Ah well. Running theme of my life seems to be the highs rapidly followed by the really, really lows. Not my own biggest fan right about now, not exactly sure why. I seem to have become this person I don't really like over the last 2-3 years, pretty much since I left uni I suppose. I'm not even sure what exactly it is about myself that I don't really get on with, but it's severely getting in the way of me getting on with my life. I mean, how are you supposed to convince a potential employer that you're worth hiring when to be honest, you don't even like yourself? As for friends, don't get me started. Was out at the pub earlier for a mates leaving for London do, and was finding it really hard to talk to anyone, nothing to say that wasn't crap, and anything I did say just made me out to be egotistical, self-centred, lairy or just plain stupid. So just got drunk and behaved like a bit of an arse and a weirdo and made a tit out of myself, as per fucking usual. Went home quite early, would have been nice to head off to Sacrilege with them, but to be honest,
I miss the easy conversations. I miss having a laugh and not constantly feeling on edge, feeling like I'm not being like myself because the "myself" I am is so far removed from the myself I got comfortable with at uni.
You see, I should be feeling pretty great right now. At dancing I did a teddybear, a gemini, a brass monkey, a butterfly, an upsidowny thing I don't even KNOW what it's called, all for the first time ever, and all without hands. OK, the mentally sticky poles helped. A Lot. But that and all the usual stuff that gives me headrush and buzzy feelings should be carrying me through to next week! So why do I just feel like a prat? Why do I feel like my mere PRESENCE brings everyone in the room down, to the stage where I don't even want to open my mouth so I don't say something stupid and piss people off?
Yadda yadda yadda. I promised myself that I would try and keep this journal fairly functional now, and try to avoid all the emo stuff that keeps popping into it when I feel down. But at the moment, I think I need it more as a venting space. I'm so glad I'm going home tomorrow. I don't really want to be around people right now.
