                          | so it seems to me when it feels like i am having a good day i end up feeling even more empty and lonely than when i am having just a bad day in general. feeling good only makes the bad even worse. 
 today started off great. i woke up feeling on top of the world. full of energy and confidence for the work that layed ahead. that energy stuck with me up until about 2-ish and then the old feelings of emptyness, meaninglessness and desolation creeped in gradually growing in intensity to the point where I am now.
 
 i am restless.
 
 i almost cant write...cant get my thoughts together and get them out of my head. they are stuck to the insides of my mind like thick hot tar...
 
 i use to be comforted and consoled just by hanging out with my friends. it use to be enough. why isnt it enough anymore. i can no longer just be. i can't push these feelings aside.
 
 i went to Kristen's tonight to sleep over and hang with the family but by around 9pm i had to get out of there. i couldnt sit still. i couldnt bare the thought of spending the night there because i know i am not going to get much sleep tonight and at least at home i can semi entertain myself by watching tv, surfing the net, reading my zines and eating. (i cant get enough of food right now.)
 
 i got home at about 10:30 after driving around aimlessly for an hour an half in a semi-daze...my thoughts washing over me.
 
 ...and now here i am...i'm afraid to go to bed and turn the lights off because it is always worse that way.
 
 can someone pull this plug!  turn me off!  shut things down!
