My friend just asked me what Washington is like…

My head: cieurgfisugdkshf WHERE DO I EVEN START?!

What I said: I think the northwest is the only place I’ve ever felt home. It’s mountainous and everything is always green. It’s cloudy, but in a cozy way, not a gloomy way. There’s so much art and music in Seattle and it’s a huge cultural crossroads because it’s a port city. The market’s hopping all year round and the air always smells if the Puget Sound sea water. The surrounding islands have gorgeous cliff faces that plummet down into the gray water. Lopez island is probably my favorite place outside the actual city of Seattle. I can’t imagine living anywhere else.

i’m sorry.

i talked to my mom today about how much i hate it here. she’s probably the only person who knows any of this. (well now that it’s out on the internet, anyone who reads this will know, but otherwise nobody has a clue.) i hope she talks to my dad and can make him understand that i can’t stand being here any longer. i’m sorry to all my friends here - i really do love you all - i just can’t be somewhere i abhor.  ohio is one of those places. i know i dont really have any friends back in the northwest. i only have four. five if you count my boyfriend. yet it’s the only place i’ve ever felt i could really call my home.  i was going to try to stick it out until the end of senior year. for theater. but not even theater can keep me here anymore. if i move back, i’ll homeschool for my senior year and do plays with the local theater company. i just can’t live here anymore.

officiummeumfacium: Seattle. Fremont district. The neighborhood’s character was originally formed by a large artist community who exhibited beatnik lifestyles and had communist leanings. Hence, the creative road marker shown in the picture and the large statue of Lenin (not shown). Zoom

i love the fact that i have resorted to making a power point presentation

all because my mom and dad can’t just be like “sure! DC’s a great place to go for spring break! oh, your boyfriend’s going to be there? the one you havent seen in 7 months because he lives on the other side of the country??? even better! you can catch up!”

DC’s closer than Louisiana anyway. we can drive 7 hours to see dad’s cousins, or drive 15 hours to see different cousins. at least the ones in DC have kids.

God dammit. Why do you have to live so freaking far away? I mean yeah, it’s neither of our faults, but I hate to hear you talk about how I’m fading into being a dream and it makes you want to cry. That makes me want to cry.  I hate that I can’t give you a definite yes or no answer as to whether I’m staying in Seattle after this summer, because I know that even when I say “there’s a slight possibility,” you get your hopes up.  And I have no clue what I’m going to do if I do have to come back to boring old Worthington, Ohio after spending a few weeks with you. I think I’ll go insane. I really do. Listening to you begging me to stay there after the summer just makes me want to cry. Hell, I did cry. Because I can’t give you that. Even though you deserve it. I don’t know what made you think I was good enough for you, but I’m glad you think I am. Jeez, Michael. I love you. And you love me. Why? I quite honestly don’t even know. I can’t comprehend what you see in me. At all. But I’m not complaining. I just wish I could give you more. Because you deserve more.

sorry guys: RANTING TIME!

well this isn’t really a rant. more of a jtlyk kind of thing.

Michael’s going to Jackson, TN. That’s 8 and a half hours from Worthington, OH (aka my prison).  He’s going to get there this saturday and im not leaving until tuesday evening.

SO. i say to my mom, after discussing many a remote possibility for meeting up: “Hey mom… you know… I think that Sunday would be a fantastic day to drive down to Jackson, TN.”

Mom: Why? who’s there?
Me: … Michael.
Mom: Hahaha! That’s funny, Ellie.
Me: What?
Mom: Did his mom say she’s okay with you two?
Me: No, he hasn’t told her yet.
Mom: Well he should find a way to deal with it. He’s old enough.
Me: Mom, do you have any idea what his mom would do if she found out about us?
Mom: No, I dont. But I’m sure that he can handle it.
Me: She would take away all ways for him to communicate. She’d probably make him delete his facebook account, take away his phone, and probably plenty of other things, too.

My mom pretended not to hear me and walked out of the room.

My options are as follows:

  • harp about not being able to go down to TN and hope she changes her mind
  • not say anything and hope she surprises me and takes me down (highly unlikely)
  • run off and take a bus down to Jackson (also highly unlikely), though I could threaten it

               or

  • WAIT A WHOLE OTHER 9 MONTHS TO SEE MICHAEL IN IDAHO THIS SUMMER.

That last one’s not a very good option. At all.

Turn off, turn off this song, find someone to love, turn off this song. You can listen to it later and go outside.

This song has helped me through so much. I think its message is that you can’t just complain to other people about everything. If you get in a conflict with someone over a small, insignificant opinion, then it shouldn’t drive a rift between you. That’s not what friends do. Also, sometimes life’s gonna slap you across the face. And you can either sit there and cry (which will only annoy people) or you can get up, keep moving forward, and hope that you’ll find better days (no, I didn’t purposefully reference the Goo Goo Dolls, I swear). That’s not to say I think everyone should shut the fuck up and bottle things up. By all means, tell me what’s going on in your life. Talk to me. I know it helps sometimes. But don’t get offended when I proceed to give you my viewpoint on it. I’m not asking you to agree. I’m only asking for you to listen to what I have to say. Show me the same respect I showed you when you were talking to me.

And welcome to my heart and soul
Miserable excuse
But tell the world of all the pain I’ve caused
I hope you don’t forget these songs

And though I’m young life’s been short
I’m only twenty-one
I feel as though we can relate on some
Of these words I’ve written down

So turn off, turn off this song
Find someone to love
Turn off this song
You can listen to it later
And go outside

And guys in bands
With vintage shirts and hundred dollar pants
Often think we do what no one can
We see ourselves above the rest

When faced with truth
I realize there is nothing I can do
Amount of talent or gift to bring
That is greater than the orphan song she sings yeah

Turn off, turn off this song
Find someone to love
Turn off this song
You can listen to it later
And go outside

Yeah you turn off, turn off this song
Find someone to love
Turn off this song
You can listen to it later
And go outside
