"Life is good and I feel great..."
skipping the disclaimer explaining my prolonged absence and heading straight to the updates.
-Seattle trip was um, interesting, to say the least. It was good to see Marcus, and Linda (Marcus's roommate) is totally awesome. Justin was not awesome. He turned out to be a whiny, uptight, controlling little prat. Also he said "Woot!" every five fucking minutes, which was incredibly irritating. I have since disowned him as a friend...
-Dicen is now in southern California, going to Cal Arts. I am very proud of him, but this makes him the fourth friend in as many months that I have lost to the L.A. area.
-Trevor and I broke up at the end of July. It was an amiable parting. He got accepted to U.C. Santa Barbara
So again, proud but still kind of annoyed. Why do I keep losing my boyfriends to higher education? What the frell is that about?
-I am no longer friends with Kim/Tinkerbell because she is a lying, whoring, drug-addled cunt. And also, her disgusting idiot of a 45 year old boyfriend hit on me. Ich, with a side of ich. Just for the record, Kim is only 21. She's back on the meth and since I am sober and intend to stay that way I can't be around her anymore. She lied to my face more than once about being high or not. Proceeded to offer me drugs, which I turned down without even having to think about it. Seriously prostituted herself to some random guy she met at a bar for $80, presumably to purchase more meth and then lied to me about all of that as well. Bottom line: if she doesn't respect my decision to remain sober, then she obviously doesn't respect me and therefore I don't need her as a friend.
-I am seven months sober today!
-I was stupid and slept with Zach again. But he still hasn't learned a damn thing about respecting my privacy and read my notebook without permission which lead to me telling him to find his pants and get the hell out.
-I recently hooked up with Jared's friend Gabriel. Like me, Gabe is a preacher's kid, which works out well. He's 23. He's amazing and he also happens to be deaf. Not completely deaf, he can hear some muffled sounds.
He lost his hearing due to a high fever when he was 12 or 13. He's just incredibly interesting and sweet.
I don't know sign language, but he can lip read. We're not having any problems communicating thus far. I realize it's a bit unconventional, but when have I ever been conventional? Especially regarding relationships. This is probably a transitional thing. He's planning on moving up to Sac with Jared, Casey and the rest of that crew...
so there, you have it. other than that it's been editing and writing and post-midnight trips to Nick's Restaurant with various friends. in fact, there's an entire notebook filled with all the hilarious shite that's been discussed over hot chocolate and French fries down at Nick's. I'll be posting some of those quotes soon...
Love and Light,
Naphtali
