chances are you're over me

GOD! So, since we're on the subject of me being EMO!! i just have to say that i have been dealing with this ridiculous work situation... blah!

ok, so basically if you know me very well at all then you know that i work at the magic show, the magic of polynesia staring john hirokawa, el espectaculo del magico. i really love working there, i like the people i work with, i like what i have to do, and i like that i can capitalize on the fact that people come to the magic show to have fun and be entertained, i especially like that i know that many peoples idea of fun and entertainment is getting drunk, i know that's my idea!! so i get to capitalize on that at a place where fun is inherent anyways! i like that, i like my job. i wouldn't have stayed there for two years if i didn't think it was a good fit for me.

the thing is, recently...my manager has completely turned on me! i knew that i have never been her number one favorite or anything like that, i've never killed the sales the way other people who work there can do, i can't speak japanese and i apparently don't have any really extra special attributes to the job....well..actually i have always been really good at squeezing the dollars out of the white man...but lately i haven't even been able to do that because my manager has like launched this personal vendetta against me and i really don't know where it is coming from or why!!

it just sucks because the worst part about it is the way she is making me feel with her negativity, i just feel like i am here, trying to be a good employee and doing my best to make money with what i have to work with and doing the best that i can, and there she is trying to cut me down in anyway possible...and she's the manager! she has authority over shit! she gives me shitty fucking sections that could not possibly make money and then berates me for not making enough money...she purposefully sets me up so i look bad and then makes me feel like a total retard for not being "as good" or whatever...i don't get it...i totally don't even know what i did to deserve this.

i guess that i just have to confront her. if i go one more day of work feeling like a totally worthless asshole i just wont be able to stand it anymore...it's really making me stress, and it's not cool for someone that i should respect to make me feel worthless and unimportant...i need to be stronger than that and stick up for myself...i truly feel that if i confront her with the idea that i feel like she wants me to quit, she will find some reason to tell me that i shouldn't quit, she knows she needs me on staff and if she knows that her behavior makes me feel like i should quit, then hopefully that will make her want to change it...and if it doesn't, then maybe i really should just quit...

ah man..i want school to start...

i live in bizzaro world

So I've recently been wrestling with the idea that i just like things to go away from me...i distance myself from people who want to be there for me, physically and emotionally while at the same attaching myself and my emotions to people that go away...it's like i find some kind of security in the idea that i dont know for some reason people that aren't around me, can't hurt me as much as the ones who are close to me...i have such a hard time letting in good genuine people (especially guys!!!) because i'm afraid that i won't have an excuse to hate them later if they hurt me, and i feel like it would hurt more if someone that genuinely cared about me left, so i don't let them. either i leave them or i don't let myself care about them enough for it to hurt.

now the worst part is the fact that, when it comes to guys anyways, i choose to be attracted to, or to attach myself to guys who it's like i know ahead of time will be leaving in the near future...or something...like tourists, or touring band members, or guys from out of state, or who live on the opposite side of the island or move to other islands...i guess just the idea that if things don't work out, i'll never have to see them again is just too tempting..but if things do work out i kinda just screw myself...but things don't usually work out because no one wants to deal with a last minute attachment that you don't want to take with you anywhere...or have to worry about trying to take somewhere...god, i'm not even following myself at this point


i guess this is just a pretty overwhelming subject for me right now because i recently started dating like four guys who just left (san diego, texas, west coast tour, and the northshore) and i'm all alone and totally off my game now, and i have no one to talk to (besides my buddies of course...the ones who i would never let out of my lives ever!!) and i'm just starting to think that i really set myself up for it..i don't know why, am i doing it on purpose? i don't think so...

does this make sense to anyone?
