So you're sitting there... Doing your business. And you lean forward to rest your elbows on your legs. The toilet flushes. Not just any flush...

The fucking thing gave me a shower. Watered my underside multiple times, and the back of my sweater.

Its seriously a really stupid implementation of the technology and I cant believe it is happening.
My best friend Richard married Lauren.
His only other ongoing relationship was with another- also with the name Lauren. The first one was Black, which was somewhat out of the ordinary for people from my home town, as we were about 99% white. The one he married is white.

When Richard turns 1 the moon phase is full. When I do, its new.

Donna, I noticed some time after I met her, among many other things close, that her name and Richard's name are really similar. Richard's is Richard Donald, and hers is Donna Richele, after her father, Donald Richard.

I was just driving, and drove past the exit we took from the main loop, to go onto Pendleton Pike, heading toward Lawrence. When I was with Donna. And she pointed out where she worked, on the way.

Lawrence and Lauren are also the same/of the same.

Kind of interesting to me.

I found that exes names can spell the word mask, where only first letter is used. I wondered what the next "word" could be. Since it is mask backwards, d from Donna would end the "next" (preceding mask) word. Supporting this some way might be that my first girlfriend (that I was old enough to and did take seriously), Katie, reached out to me, adding me on Facebook within weeks of meeting Donna... And in words their positions are the same. Also, delving into number play, they shared same full name sums. Finally, I showed Katie to Donna.

Along the theme of the bay laurel, often shown with victory/ victors, I have often wondered what kind of "mask" God is taking about. I asked further, what four letter (why four I don't know really) word might be formed... And I came up with "wind", to have "wind-mask", which although might not be what "it is", resonates. And finally to tie it: I already have "d", now I just need "win".

And having "win" might just be a mind to see it, as already.

I have to be honest I don't believe in much. I kind of think there is an alterior motive. I've seen losing as winning... Not that I don't want still.
Her. This day, five years ago, was when I last felt in any contact with the last girl that I liked-- Last that I liked to any degree where I might actually try, that is. This was the day I felt out of contact. And I was right.

One year after, on this date, I had the combination of an anxiety/panic attack, and an allergic reaction to milk and possibly other substances, which made me think I was having a heart attack. I wasn't yet aware I was allergic to milk- or anything, though I'd find it probably sabotaged me in life many times before.

I went to the hospital and they said it was a panic attack... But the weight on my chest didn't go away even as I would feel calm. It took a month or more for me to connect that it was milk.

Fitting.

I had connected this girl to my mom, in some respects. In my life it seems all my girlfriends had something in common with my mother... Or what my mother is in the line of. Some were stronger connections than others, like Alisha- who I was obsessed with, or was obsessed with my own association with her, who shared my mom's maiden name, and was closest to her eye color (green spectrum), and was the average or mean sum when her name was calculated, of the first four girls I felt seriously for.

Anyways, so I had this "heart attack". It was my first nieces birthday. The first born from my generation, from my sister.

The next year, I made sure I didn't do anything on that day, as the experience was somewhat traumatic. I took it easy. But the next day at work, my first delivery was to a family with the last name Hart. First and only delivery, as a pizza delivery guy. For some reason, I think it was slow, I went home that night after that one delivery.

The year after this, my Grandmother died. 1/31. Once again I felt a heart attack feeling happening multiple times around this time... This time because I ate beef liver. During her funeral, I felt some of the worst chest pain I had felt yet at that point. But I was determined it was the beef, and determined not to collapse dead at a funeral.

I'm raping this story. There's too much more to it.

The last girl, still, that I've had sex with, where there was no exchange of money, was a girl with the last name Hart... but the dates don't go with anything as far as I have been able to tell, in any artistic way... But I was thinking I had heart problems for a time up until that night I met her, and had sex with her. Discovered I'm fine. Problem is tension/anxiety. I guess this is the last time that just happened, unless I consider what went on with Rayna, as sex. Which it wasn't.

Anyways, so this year, a guy from Florida moved in next door to me. His name is Noah.

Donna, the girl this is circling around, moved to Florida recently, to be nearer to her family.

When Noah moved in, I saw this C-shaped thing laying on the ground.



And it reminded me of Donna, because I built her futon one night, spending like 5 hours doing so- why, because I tend to be a perfectionist and it was hard to balance the parts to put it together, with only my hands. And I over-do things. I didn't want it falling apart and hurting her. She had gone to sleep, because she was tired from not sleeping well the night before.

...But it came with these pieces, like above, and none of them fit where they were supposed to. At least, I didn't figure it out. It still bothers me that I didn't complete it, or at least clear that it wasn't my lack of ability, or something.

I took that picture today, as I saw it on the sidewalk, walking to my car. I haven't seen it in awhile... as snow has been on the ground quite a lot, and before, it pretty much stayed where it was, near my apartment block's doorway, where it was before.

I always look for something on this day. Not that I actively look, but sometimes things just pop out that are associated, most closely with me, to her. I keep my eyes open.

Yesterday, I got in a car wreck, but despite the fender being crumbled like tin, alignment is still perfect, and no mechanical damage. If it would have happened today, it might have meant something more to me. I'm glad it wasn't as bad as it could have been...

Maybe it was, like this wreck- the connection with her wasn't as bad as it could have been. That's what I feel like I was avoiding, in ways, back then. Colliding in an uncontrollable way. Messing up. I didn't have a job back then. No place for her to go. I didn't know a lot that I know now. What I know now is that I love her, and I'm not afraid of it. I love her. This is unconditional, at my highest, which is where I try to speak from, and give the most to (my lowest of course I try to keep low, but it's there sometimes, probably out of forgetfulness).

But this is not to say I have hopes for her, or that I think she's "perfect for me"... because I love myself, too. I need someone for me, too, if I should have anyone in my life at all. The way I love her now, is that I want her happiness. I want her to love, and be loved, and I want relative peace for her. I'd support her if I could, any way I could. I'd be her friend. I'd love her child. And try to love who she loves. Really, not to get gushy, or fake. But I would rather feel love. I identify most.

She seems to be in my head, sometimes. It all kind of does. I met a girl with the last name Stark, on OkCupid- never met in person, just exchanged some words. I asked if her name was a reference to Iron Man or if it was her last name. She confirmed it was her last name- the first one with it that I had noticed. At this same time I was talking to Rayna, who I mentioned above, and some hours later, she said she just put her son to bed, and he was insistent on wearing his Iron Man costume, that she allowed- A never before occurrence, I guess, for him to want this. I would be the point that sees this, and I didn't relay anything between them until then, when I told her about the girl with the last name Stark.

I don't really know what route to take. I just keep watching.

I keep watching her.

In this time that we met, she's been more actively changing in ways that I am allowed to see. I tend to find another explanation, though, like how Valentines Day is coming up, and people come awake around this time of year anyways, as the days start to get longer, and the sun starts shining more orange (something about the angle letting more "orange" through).

But there are so many times. I just keep talking myself out of this.

I play in my lies.

I'm an opportunist.
Suddenly it dawns on you.
Not a linguistic thought of condition,
but a divine feeling of awareness.
A knowing without explaining,
still conscious yet not participating.

Emptiness is bliss.
Euphoric ecstasy of knowledge enveloping
your entire being with divine grace.

In the moment you realize
that you are the universe.
The universe is everything in and of itself.
The moment, like everything, is eternal -
Never ending, yet never beginning
Always changing, but always the same.
So my bulimia has pretty much taken an encore in my life. I guess it's not surprising... one addiction for another. Only my situation is strange because I don't "binge and purge," I only purge. Like, a normal meal. I don't eat like 2,000 calories then have to purge... I've never really been a binger.. mainly just purging something I thought I shouldn't have eaten. I don't know, I'm not trippin over it. I'm fine with it. I realize this it's probably unhealthy to be so nonchalant about it, but I figure I have to take it one thing at a time. Plus, my teeth are really nice. I always said I would stop if my teeth ever got fucked up. Isn't that sick?

I'm feeling pretty good. I am learning to TRY to turn my negatives into positives. I'm not scared to learn more about myself anymore. I really do think that some day soon, things are going to be alright.
How come I don't have permission to delete my blogs please?
Intrepid thoughts of random origin, no translation, no meaning, no reason.
Just repetitive nonsensical bullshit that makes you want to pull the trigger
and paint the wall with your already decaying brain matter.

But think about the poor asshole who would have to clean it up.

Instead perhaps a cocktail of intravenous pseudo-suicide to temporarily
euthanize the firing squad of random broken electrical signals in your thick skull.

But think about your pride, and ego - back to day one?
May as well just paint the fucking wall at that point.

No choice but to try and solve the insolvable,
decipher the indecipherable, translate the untranslatable.
Better call a wind talker before your dilapidated mind goes up like Hiroshima.

Too late. It was inevitable anyway. You've past the event horizon
and the last traces of tangible thought are lost to speghettification.

Darkness. Welcome to the void.

Three years ago I had a strong pressure occur that I'm sure was my gallbladder.

For those years I have learned to eat differently and tried to avoid pain. Recently my diet has had a lot of fat in the form of hemp seed oil in it. I was just fine with this. But then I increased my sugar, and now I'm struggling again.

Today I bought unpasteurized apple juice. I haven't been drinking or eating apple in awhile because I misdiagnosed problems, thinking I was intolerant of fructose... A malabsorber. This isn't the case as I can eat it to my hearts content. So I got some apple juice today, as it is said to help with gallstones. The malic acid is named as the therapeutic agent (but I can't handle it straight).

I'd rather not have surgery but honestly if I had the cash to do it I'd have already paid someone to go snip to that troublemaker. I don't care if I have to take lipase. I am tired of felling like there's a huge dull thorn in my side, or like someone stabbed me and left the blade inside. I had gotten away from it for good amount of time... with no attacks... But the pain has returned.

Maybe the juice will soften them to where they aren't so much trouble.

If not... I guess I'm glad I'm getting insurance.

Yayyyy human body.
Economy still getting me down, literally & figuratively . . . got BIG lawsuit that could determine whether I ever get out of Babylon, wrote a blog about it called Sycamore Vista Land Fraud, the name of the subdivision where I bought 50-vacant lots 1996-2003. If I could get the construction liens off the land, I could sell ten of the finished lots for $360,000.

I did quit smoking for a few months after I passed out after taking two deep drags of American Spirit tobacco in a pipe. AS tobacco has the highest amount of Nicotine. I found a couple of scientific reports of people passing out from nicotine. I thought I was dying! It scared me so much, I quit smoking. Then a few weeks later I got drunk at home and bought a pack . . . I only smoke two or three ciggs/day, a pack lasts a week.

Have really cut back on taking Ativan (Lorazipam) for anxiety. I'm obsessed with taking my blood pressure. Think I can see light at the end of the tunnel. lawyer is hopeful we can get the liens off the lots -- they expired due to limitations but the person with the liens wants some compensation. My lawyer is an expert in Homeowner's Association law and construction contracts. It has cost me about $30,000 so far.

The person suing me is a real rat.

A dear friend committed suicide last year, he was like a brother/son . . . really sad. He lost a really good-paying job with the City after mouthing off to a co-worker about another crew's boss, the worker told the boss. I didn;t think it was right that he could get fired but U have to be a team player and he just started the job, so he had no Union protection. After losing the job, he started using heroin and found a cute girl who was also an addict and fell into love with her. I didn't know at the time that either of them were addicts although he said he was in rehab.

This friend & I worked for 6-months fixing up a rental house I own downtown. I let him and his brother live there until it was finished. When my dad was visiting, he drove the RV into my neighbor's fence. Dad gave me $300 to fix it. It only cost a few dollars in materials and since it wasn't my money,I gave the friend $100 for a few hours work. With that money he went on a three-day binge with the GF. On the last day he ran out of $$$ and the girl wasn't interested in seeing him. He informed his mother (he was living with her) something about getting a gun and killing himself. She hid the gun. He died on the railroad tracks with a quart of beer. His blood-alcohol level was .200-something, way over the legal driving limit. The train ran him over.

Just yesterday, I got another reminder of him when his City job sent his Withholding statement to my house. He used my address as a safe place to receive mail. I posted the Statement on his facebook page in case any of his relatives wanted to file for the withheld $$$ but then took it off the page. Not sure how much it is . . . could be $1000 or $10. I forget when he lost the City job. If he started the job in 2013, it's probably $1000. I don't want to open it. Maybe I'll contact his brother, also a Facebook friend. (Another FB friend introduced me to him when I asked her if she knew anyone who could help me renovate a house . . . He also tiled my shower. For awhile I let him live in an RV in my back yard.

I still believe in miracles.

God Bless You,

Raquel!
Sitting in bed, have been all day, got high as hell last night, pretty sure I'm frying my brain though, gonna stop smoking so much in sessions. I completely forget who I am even with all the time and will start a conversation with someone, thinking they were someone I haven't seen in about an hour, then forget who they are 5 minutes later again. Just got to take a break and ill be fine.

I wasn't paying enough.

Today I have a pain in my side and I spit up blood and what looks like bile... But I think the blood is from my throat.
Doing my taxes online.

This could be good.. but bad at the same time.

Idle hands, and a full bank account.
This really pissed me off today for some reason so I though I'd share my thoughts.

I don't understand why there is such a negative stigma surrounding Nicotine. Sure it's in Tobacco smoke - but it has MANY legitimate uses. Many studies have come out recently showing that Nicotine may be a very effective treatment against many psychological disorders - such as....Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Hyperkinetic Disorder (Also known as ADHD. However in ICD-10 ADHD has been officially renamed to HyperKinetic Disorder) Certain Anxiety Disorders, as well as Personality Disorders.

That's what people don't understand. It's not the nicotine that kills!!! It's the smoke that kills!! If you were to dry lettuce, roll it, then smoke it - you would end up with similar problems then if you were smoking tobacco. The carbon that is formed when something is burned is what causes your problems when smoking.

However, Tobacco can be blamed as well.

Tobacco contains other psychotropic substances (chemicals that are able to enter the brain). Specifically - there are 3 alkaloids in Tobacco that inhibit MAO enzymes. These are known as Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors.

What Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOI's) do is they stop the Monoamine enzymes from being able to break down Dopamine, Serotonin, Epinephrine (A.K.A Adrenaline), and Norepinephrine as well as any substance that is in the blood stream.

Because of this - these 3 alkaloids in Tobacco are actually what causes the addiction to Nicotine because the MAO enzymes would normally break down the Nicotine and make it inactive. But with these enzymes inhibited - the Nicotine is able to stay in the brain for a much longer period of time have a much larger and significantly more potent effect on the brain and central nervous system.

If Nicotine where the only substance in the body - it would normally be metabolized and entirely be filtered out of the body within 2 hours. But with these MAO enzymes present in Tobacco - they cause the nicotine to stay in the body for up to 20 hours after initial absorption.

This is why smoking while under the influence of cocaine makes it more likely that you will become dependent on cocaine.

It just pisses me off that anti-tobacco organizations use people's ignorance about the positive effects of nicotine against them and make false claims that Nicotine is the problem and that nicotine is cancerous and that's what causes your issues when in reality Nicotine has been proven to NOT be cancerous as well as not cause the problems that you see in people who smoke.

Which brings me back to my original point. It's not the Nicotine that kills - its the smoke that kills.
Ugh... so I totally just had a bulimic episode...

I'm driving home from Bobbi's house and something came over me. An urge so irresistible, so strong, that I, well, could not resist. I went to McDonald's and ordered a medium fry (crack fries as D calls them,) and one cookie. The I drove around barely chewing the food and stuffing it down my gullet. I was driving down a deserted highway (as I like to do when I'm doing "secret" behavior,) and as I was stuffing the last of the fries in my mouth, I just started crying. (wtf?) So there I am, driving down a deserted highway at night stuffing fries into my mouth with tears streaming down my face. I felt so hopeless. I felt so disgusted by my behavior. I felt so ugly. I felt so fucking out of control.

I notice each time I get clean from heroin, my bulimic actions and desires are getting stronger. I am scared that I will not be able to control this... I know these patterns. I recognize this type of thinking... if I don't do something, it won't be long until my descent into daily disordered eating. I swear, if my teeth ever get fucked up from this shit.. omg. I am way to vain to have fucked up teeth. I am rather surprised that my teeth look like they do after being an intermittent puker for so many years. When people compliment me on my teeth and how white they are I always think to myself..."hmmm if you only knew"

Old habits die hard.
I have a terrible habit of wanting to save people like I would save a stray puppy on the side of the road.

There's a guy, Scott that had recently began coming around to NA meetings. He is super quiet and shy, and probably one of the most socially anxious people I have ever met. Anyway, he came to the meeting tonight and admitted he had relapsed.. he had 10 days clean, then got high. I don't know what it is, but I feel so bad for him. He seems so broken. Like, I just want to take him, and fix him. Make everything go away, and cure him. I want to scoop him up in my arms and wave a magic wand and be able to tell him "Hey, everything is going to be okay" and really be able to make that happen.

I guess I'm just co-dependent as fuck or something. The audacity of me to think that I could help someone else when I can't even help my own damn self.
But I am in the beginning phases of writing a book. I know it seems a little farfetched but I have a lot of material for my manuscript, and an idea for who I would like to be an agent. I will probably write it under a different name, as I don't want notoriety or anything. I have been working on this for a while but just haven't shared it because it seems a little ridiculous to even say out loud.
Last night after my 12 step meeting, I went to eat with everyone. We are done eating and I excuse myself to go to the washroom and when I get back out everyone is already outside. They are talking and smoking and some had already left to their cars. As soon as I walk thru the door to outside my friend TP says in front of everyone "ARE YOU THROWING UP YOUR FOOD?!" Everyone got silent.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Well today I took my little one to a friend's party which was lovely for her. Usually these things are completely torture for me. Lots of people around. Usually I feel anxious and can't wait to get out of there feeling like it's the hardest possible thing to do. Now I'm on suboxone I took her today and I actually made conversation with people. I sat there confidently talking to other people like a normal person. I got through the three hours pretty fine. Usually listening to loud musice is really intense n invasive - well it wasn't today.

Oh and then we walked home in the dark. Now was I frightened of this? Nah I blissfully walked home, listening to the river, along the road - feeling calm n tranquil thinking of getting home to have a nice hot chocolate and a sasuage butty.

All is well with the world and I can take my child to a party and be a normal person without being a complete nervous wreck unable to properly talk to someone n not feeling like the loud music is too intrusive.

I actually paid hooky cooky with my daughter n her friends today - this was normal and ok for me to do.

I made the best decision of my life to get on suboxone to overcome my addiction n get my life back n if people want to hate me for it. Well that's their choice n none of my business.

What matters now is now and the future.....

lots of lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnng sunny walks,
around the stalks,
in the countryside,
where many will play and hide
full of trees,
with lovely calm, windy breeze
On, on and along
singing a peaceful song
going at a gentle pace,
after all no need to race.

Anyway now things are starting to go ok and I've got this confidence beyond belief I'm going to change my life. Get ripped, eat healthy, make new friend, learn how to manage confrontations without feeling intimidated n scared and ENJOY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't really think of any other?

Evey :) xxxx
Hiya Everyone,

On a different note I think, no I KNOW that there is something not right with my body. At first I thought it may be the suboxone but if I say that I'm late with something on a monthly basis, going hot then extremely cls, feel like my heads full of fluid like it's going to burst. I think I may be on the change n I don't know how to feel about it.

Really kind of need to talk to someone who has gone through this or who currently is. Can a doctor do a test n find out if I am or not????

Evey xxxx
Soooo, in other news, I definitely got chased with a butcher knife last week. It was one week ago today, actually. A lady from my 12 step fellowship was sending a bunch of very strange text messages to me. She conveyed that she was suicidal so I picked up the phone to call her. She was hysterical and said she would be willing to go to the hospital. She asked if I would take her. I agreed. From being in the fellowship I know that you should not ever go alone when dealing with a potentially dicey situation. I called some other women in recovery that have the same or more clean time than me, and no one answered. Being that is WAS after midnight on a week day, I just went alone since no one answered their phones. Make a long story short, when I got there, she came at me with a big ass butcher knife. She didn't say a word, she just had this odd expression on her face. Her eyes were pitch black and she looked subhuman. I have never seen someone look that way.. it was almost if she was possessed. I immediately turned and ran and jumped down two flights of stairs into my car. I have never felt so panicked in my life. After everything that I have been thru and all the sketchy situations, this is the most haunting. She has a crazed, animalistic look in her eye that I cannot get out of my head. I called 911 and the police took her to the mental hospital. She got out yesterday and has since been harassing people in the fellowship. I know that there are just some things that this program cannot fix, such as mental illness, and some addicts need outside help.

I'm really not fucked up about it.. like, I don't mind if she comes to meetings, clearly she needs it. She got out yesterday and came to the meeting last night. I did not say hello to her. Halfway thru the meeting I left because of homework. A few hours later she texted me and said "I am deleting you, you need to do the same. And just leave me alone." Ok, whaaaaaaat? I have not had any communication with this lady since the night of the incident and she has the audacity to text me and tell me to leave her alone? I was furious and I wanted to text her crazy ass back and go in on her, but I tried my best not to react. I ignored it and I am sure that is not what she wanted. I heard thru the grape vine that she is telling people that I saved her life but I am making her feel uncomfortable at meeting because I didn't acknowledge her? Are you kidding me? Hi, you came at me with a butcher knife, I'm not gonna just immediately start talking to you.
