Damn. I lied. Or am still refusing to admit to myself. Maybe both. I don't know.

Becca asked me a question (scroll back a couple of posts) about what sort of wedding I would want to have.

That's usually the sort of question I find a way to change the subject on really quickly his time I didn't. And then Rob and Suzy are getting married (Congratualations you two!!!), and then another friend was just talking about how he's thinking of proposing to his girlfriend. And I'm so happy for these other people.

And I just reaized that the last time I've felt the way I do right now was was back at Christmas when my sister got engaged. (Not to say that this sort of issue has ALWAYS been what caused me to feel like this, but it's what's on my mind now.)

Am I jealous of people? I can't honestly say more than "I don't know"

I know that it does bother me that I'm 27 and have never met anyone that I would consider being in a really serious relationship with. Which, I guess, is just adult speak for "I've never had a boyfriend", but saying that is really junior-highish. And desperate-sounding.

It's not pathetic or desperate or at all bad to say "Gee I would like to meet someone that I could share my time and interests with, and maybe someday fall in love with them. Or not."

But somehow, when a statement like that comes from my mind, it's wrong.

Haven't I done enough proving to myself that I don't *need* anyone? What I *want* is a possibility.

Am I being too picky? Or, is some little part in my mind just dismissing everyone I meet saying "You don't *need* that. You're okay by yourself." I just can't get over the memories of all the giggly junior high and high school girls and "I want a boyfriend." and "Oh my god, you're not going out with anyone" in like...6th and 7th grade. Where yeah....the guy two rows over in history sure was cute but "Oh no I'm 13 and I don't have a boyfriend. Gee, I think i'll get over it."

I don't know. Just writing this, I want to delete it because I'm making these thoughts known. If you've been reading my journal for any length of time, you may have noticed that I may post that so and so is hot, cute otherwise goodlooking, or flirting with someone. Which never goes anywhere. And the extremely occasional first date which just...goes nowhere. Outside of that....I never think or talk about the future in terms of there possibily being someone else there. It's *me*, or *I*. There's never even a hypothetical *if*

I don't think that's what I want. But I don't know. And like I said, I have yet to meet anyone that I would even think of that sort of possibility with.

*flinches*

For as long as I can remember, I've always had moments where I don't quite feel like I belong in this world. Sometimes I wondered if I really was, or if I was just observing someone else. Or if i was stuck in a dream. Sometimes I really don't know if I'm dreaming or not and nothing can prove to me either way, because my dreams are often that super-real.

It used to really bug me. I mean, often do you encounter a 7-year-old that isn't sure that they're actually experiencing hat thy are, or if they're watching someone else experience it. I tried to tel my grandmother about it once, I said I felt like I was watching myself in a movie and her response was "does your mother treat you that badly that you wish you were watching a movie?" Mind you, my mother never treated me badly...though this was right around the beginning of the time when they had me convinced that she had treated me badly...but at the same time, I knew it had nothing to do with that so I never brought it up to her again. I also didn't bring it up to my mom because I was afraid that she'd try to make me go to a psychologist, or to see the pastor at the church she went to. That actually eventually did happen once, well she dragged a 4 of us to the Pastor's office one day after church. I have no idea how much she had told im about the situation, but all I remember is him asking me why I didn't want to live with her, and saying that my mother loves me and I just couldn't say anything because I didn't think it was his business, and I just wanted to be away from there but at the same time, I wanted to yel at my om and demand to know why she didn't love me and why she left me at my grandparents and say that she was only comng back now so she could get custody of all of us and get more back on her taxes...this is what my grandparents told me. I was in second grade...what the hell did I know?

Dammit, WHY does this stuff keep coming up in my mind? Why can't it just rise to the surface and be gone? I have never said this before, I've never thought it, because it's never been true...but I think I hate my grandmother.

I don't know what to do. I just don't know how to make it go away. I just want so much of my childhood to be gone, or the memory of it altered...I want what happened 20 years ago to stop hurting me now...
