Gizmo died.
He disappeared on September 22nd, and we thought he was stuck in someone’s shed or something, but when we put up posters, we heard from a few people that he had been hit by a car.
I miss him, but there are worse times and ways for him to have died.
I know he knew that he was loved, that he was happy and felt safe, and at least he mustn’t have suffered much.
I’ve been on the internet long enough to know that there are worse fates for a cat. My greatest fear was that a b-tard had caught him and mutilated him.
However, I’m lonely for the first time since he disappeared the first time, when he got out of my apartment and went missing for two months.
I thought he was dead then. He got lost near three busy roads and bold coyotes, and I had never let him outside–I lived on the fourth floor, and he didn’t like his harness.
The worst part was that he had already been stressed out with my packing in anticipation of moving in with Raj, and I found out from looking at his SPCA records that he had been given up due to a move in the first place, so I imagined that he didn’t realise I was looking for him–that he probably thought I had abandoned him, and it was heartwrenching.
I was so worried that he didn’t know I loved him, and I think I was right.
But at least he knew it now. He knew I loved him more than anything, and he knew I always came back.
When he and I moved in with my mother, he seemed sad sometimes. I sympathised with him, since I thought it was probably because he missed Raj and Voodoo, and I told him that we could only count on one another, but that we would always be able to do that, at least.
Now, I feel like I have no one to count on.
If I weren’t on anti-depressants, I think I would have killed myself already.
I thought briefly of it when I heard the news. Very briefly, but it still occurred to me.
Maybe it seems stupid that a cat was my reason for living, but he was more consistent and loving than most boyfriends I’ve had, and he stuck around longer too.
But I imagine he’s happy. The psychic in Victoria also told me that reincarnation exists, and that animals come back–and the more times they come back, the smarter they are. He was already really smart, so he’s probably a pretty old soul already, but I imagine he’s reincarnated and happy. It helps me deal.
Other than that…my life in general seems to be at a standstill. Except that I’m leveling a deathknight on Taz and Ryan’s server in Warcraft at an unprecidented pace.
Running Up That Hill – Placebo
Ryan isn’t such a bad guy. Just human, as it turns out, but I still think Taz deserves better than him.
I met him a few weeks back. We hung out last weekend, too, all together. Went to the zoo, watched Firefly. I get along well enough with him. There’s just little glimpses of the things she doesn’t deserve, that she endures from him.
I think I could win her without even trying, if that were my purpose.
But I also think that, if I do “win” her, it will have to be unintentionally to work at all. It would have to be with pure motives, not with the intention of stealing her away, which is the better way to endear oneself to another anyway.
She says he’s been nicer recently. I can’t help but imagine that’s because I’m nice, and he feels the need to compete.
Course, I could be way off my mark, too.
Anyway…
I’m pretty deep in the dorky puppy love bullcrap. It’s disgusting. ^_^
In other news, I think I have issues with guys recently…maybe because it was all I knew, and it’s beginning not to be all I know anymore…
I wonder if I’m actually gay instead of bi…but I suppose I’ll find out soon enough.
I find the thought of erections to be obnoxious…I don’t know if that’s due to the very recent memory of them grinding against my back while I’m presumed to be asleep, but it’s the truth all the same.
(This was an unsettling habit Raj had. It was either that, or he’d hump the bed, which disturbed me quite a bit, too.)
There’s a guy on this dating site (OKC from here on in) who, while well aware that I’m only interested in girls right now, has gone and developed a crush on me.
/sigh.
He’s a nice guy…but all of a sudden, when it came up, my hackles kind of went up. Not against him, but against the thought of a boyfriend…
I probably just have issues…
He’s also not really my type, but that’s usually not enough to inspire this kind of reaction.
So now I’m wondering how to go about telling him…
In other news, I saw pictures of Shay today and barely felt anything! He didn’t even look attractive!
I still feel sorry for his poor girlfriend though. I think I’m just about to a point where I can hope that he’s grown up enough to be good for someone, rather than hoping he hasn’t so I can be right.
Ehh…
I almost have a car! Shall probably have it parked in front of the house next month…
And now I just need a license! >.>
Nick, another person I met on OKC (who has been nothing but plautonic this entire time, btw–I feel like I should date him on principle, just because of that fact!), and I decided that my car shall be the USS Enterprise–I can be Kirk and he can be Spock.
He’s wacky, and it’s awesome. If I wasn’t hell bent on girls, I would have started dating him already I think.
However, quite hell bent on girls at the moment.
Again, I have a complicated life, and a full blog. At least these complications aren’t too difficult on my end though.
Help I’m Alive – Metric
Well, I may be back…
Raj and I broke up at the end of June, and I’m surprisingly fine. I may be completely over him already…
It’s funny how Shay and Jay hurt me so badly, and everyone else is just kind of “meh”.
…I talk to Jay again, sometimes, now. I realised a few months back that he couldn’t have faked the kind of care he showed me when I called him with that enormous cut on my arm. And then he apologized, so I completely forgave him. I’m still not sure how much to trust him, but at least we can talk. And at least I don’t feel the need to googlebomb him anymore…even though that was kind of fun at the time. :)
But yes, it turns out that the terrible thing I remember from this relationship (referenced in Time and Other News), is that Raj was abusive. Often verbally, rarely physically.
I shouldn’t have to deal with that shit. I don’t deserve it.
I’m chasing girls now. :)
There’s one I really like. I call her Taz, but not to her…at least yet. I figure I should use the name she gave me until I know her a bit better. But anyway, this girl is SO HOT. She’s skinny and blondish and my heart races every time I see her! But she’s still hung up on an ex. However, I feel like I can deal with that for the moment.
She and he had been dating for, like, seven years. He’s going to take some getting over.
Sometimes I meet a person whose life parallels mine in so many ways that it’s almost scary.
Taz is depressed. I’m not sure if she’s still medicated for it, but she once was, and it’s nice to have someone who knows what you mean when you talk about it as a disease.
And her ex is abusive. I think the scale of it is greater than what I’ve experienced with Raj. He just basically seems like he has a bad temper, and a vindictive streak. He also has a girlfriend, and is kind of keeping her on the side as far as I can tell.
He’s still listed on the website where he found this girlfriend, as single.
So yeah, basically total douchebag.
He’s changed, according to her. There’s no reason for me not to believe it.
There’s also a girl I knew in high school who’s found me (on this website as well, this is where I’m finding all these people…). She’s just broken up with a boyfriend of over 5 years, and seems to be interested in fooling around.
So it’s not looking like I have any relationship fodder, which is kind of nice for once! Though if I’d been open to hetero relationships at the moment, I could have already had ten.
Everyone loves a geeky girl.
I find myself more self conscious, though, because these girls are both WAY hotter than me, in my estimation. Guys, I don’t worry about. They’re usually somewhat less attractive than me anyway, and I’m a pretty good girlfriend all around, so they have nothing to complain about.
But girls are friggin hot! And I feel like, in both these instances, I’m deffinitely the less hot part of the equation.
I’m sure I’ll find that it’s the same way between guys and girls as between girls and girls. Everyone has different types. I may not be really skinny, but I have boobs to make up for it, and I’m certainly nowhere near overweight.
In other news, I’m living with my mother again. Probably a half a year or so ago, I started talking to her again, and our relationship is better now.
So it’s not too bad. I feel like my freedom is somewhat stinted, and I feel like I need a car so I can actually see people, but other than that, Okotoks is ok.
Also, I travelled to Victoria and Seattle in early June, which was basically just amazing. I saw a psychic while there, who said I should persue Deepak Chopra type stuff as a career; that it would allow me to travel and make money. She also told me Raj wasn’t the one, that I would have four relationships leading up to “the one”, and that I shouldn’t eat starches as much as I do.
Anyway, whatever you might think of psychics, she was spot on with a lot of things, and the other things made sense. I’m taking it with a grain of salt, of course, but there’s no reason not to follow her advice and see where it gets me.
Often these days, I wonder why I put up with Raj.
Today was the first time in a while I’ve wondered why he puts up with me.
It seems like I’m happier after a night of heavy drinking. Like killing off a few brain cells makes me stop beating myself up.
Dear Joss Whedon,
You’re a fucking genius. I hope Dr Horrible sells four zillion copies. I also hope that if any of your AWESOME shows get cancelled because people are lame again, you sell them this way to spite Fox.

Dear Meatloaf,
I regret to inform you that you are not hardcore. Enjoying sex and motor bikes may have made one a badass in the 1950s, but even then you usually had to be a smoker too.
You are, however, still absolutely awesome, so I’ll forgive you, even if this sort of thing pops up again on Bat Out Of Hell 4 or something.
Love always,
Alicia
i’ve decided just now that i hate getting full on food i don’t really like.
lately, food’s been tasting really bland and gross. i sat down with my kd, and my stomach got full, but my brain’s going, “What?! You mean that’s it?!?”
i still feel too stupid to blog…but i also feel like blogging. so i’m following the latter sentiment.
i quit bargain finder. i have a worse paying job now, and rent is getting scary, so raj and i are going to find somewhere to move into. and in the meantime, i’m going to store things with…well, mainly brent…and crash at his current apartment.
worse paying job, btw, is SO MUCH BETTER OMG.
i realised recently that matt and Hugh Sung were good for me…but only because shay dragged me so low.
‘cuz i mean, seriously, what else explains all that?
shay was good in some ways too, though. he lowered my expectations.
raj and i had our anniversary a few days ago. we went to see indiana jones, which i thought was awesome since our first date was a movie too. :)
that’s all i have for now.
Can you please attempt to be a little more retarded? You haven’t met your quota for this month.
You know, maybe the lead is the cause of all these paranoid conspiracy theories…you might want to lay off for a little while. I hear that shit’s bad for you.
Love and kisses,
-Monkey
