Aargh - my phone's always on silent...
So frustrating to feel so helpless - I can't win.
I felt annoyed at seemingly being mocked earlier, and was perhaps more blunt than I needed to be, but, didn't say anything that wasn't true.
Now I've been cast aside, like yesterday's news.
For what?
The bluntness?
Or because my phone is always on silent, and I don't always see it when driving?
egocentricity, pettiness or just plain anger issues. Either way, I have my own issues so am not in a position to judge. Just feel frustrated.

Comfortably Numb
Great show by MLC last night, capped off with an encore of the Pink Floyd classic.
I love that song, for a number of reasons, but partly because it sums up so well how I feel most of the time.
Why is it, that even when I'm enjoying myself, I still feel an emptiness inside?
"Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?
Come on, now. I hear youre feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain, Get you on your feet again.
Relax. I need some information first.
Just the basic facts: Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I had a fever. My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I can't explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb."

Not much
Not much to say at the moment. I feel fairly steady.
Anxious in some ways, but that's my natural state, other than psychotic.
It's 10.30pm on Sunday night, and I'm drinking Bacardi n Cranberry Juice alone in my lounge which is probably helping.

The Swan Unpacked
I sit here (or, more accurately, lie here) on my bed and type my thoughts.
Superficially I am calm, relaxed - straight faced & emotion free, but inside I'm screaming.
Literally screaming.
It feels insane, but I'm aware of it, so am sure I'm not that.
I have an inner anxiety, despair and pain that aches to explode from my head, but it stays there - peaking & troughing throughout the hours as they pass. Nevertheless, my expression remains much the same. I am calm. And relaxed.
I am calm. And relaxed.
Repeat ad infinitum...

Me, Myself, and Status updating
In the past, and at my lowest points, I took to writing regular "rants" in a similar blog style on myspace. However, once I thought my demons had been overcome I deleted that myspace account, and with it all my ramblings from the darkest depths of my mind.
In a way I wish I hadn't done that, as I often feel the urge to look back and reflect, perhaps to make me feel better, perhaps worse, but ultimately just to remember how I felt back then.
Since then, I have become an almost Facebook "addict" and regularly updated status with my most blunt of thoughts and feelings. I have restrained from doing that lately as far more people see my facebook statuses (Statusi!?) than ever read my myspace blogs, and actually start to realise that maybe I am actually a little bit psychotic, and not the calm (sometimes grumpy) individual I try so hard to appear to be.
Here are my most recent, and relatively tame statuses:
