I'm Rebecca, a 23 year-old writer, college dropout, and a very pessimistic feminist. I like flavoured coffee, indie music, and a darkly comic novel for any time of the day. This website is the home of my blog and my shared works of creative fiction. A more verbose summary of me is located here.
    My current novel endeavor, full of angst, drinking, and religious questioning. Also: lies, ketamine, and shopping carts. Learn just a fraction more here.

    When you spend one day in shit, you might as well make it five.

    After I had a somewhat honest-hearted day at work, I went out with Heather and Misty and came home feeling like crap. Granted, I was pissed off because we didn’t end up doing what I originally thought we were going to, and I think I have a right to be pissed off about that, but I just walked home from shopping just so I could relay all of my personal bullshit with myself.

    I didn’t go camping, so it’s my issue that I feel kind of down that I didn’t get to join in on the fun that everybody else did. And I have to deal with the fact that the trip is all they’re going to be talking about for a while. I can’t expect them not to. This is why I hate that decision of staying or going. I wasn’t really in the mood to go camping at the time, but by not going I’d have to face all of the stories and the playbacks of everything that went on without me. And I sort of am now.

    Eh.

    I don’t know why I’ve spent so much of my life feeling as though I’m some kind of lame person that nobody wants to spend any time with. That isn’t the truth really, despite the fact that yes, I may be lame, and yes, when I’ve already come home from work and decide to spend my night alone, I probably won’t want to go out for a drink if somebody just calls me up and expects me to go.

    Eventually, after I spend enough time feeling like crap, I can go out again. That’s the way it always works out with me. And I realize that to some that it might be frustrating. It’s mostly frustrating for me. Normally I’d go about the process of trying to change that, but fuck it, I’ve spent all these years trying to figure out why I always tend to get this way; I might as well just say, “That’s just me”, and not blame everyone else for my issues.

    Because it isn’t that bad, for fuck’s sake.
