Dear family,

I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.

I cannot ever express this enough. I give up on reason, empathy, and rebelling.
I'm officially finished with you.
You only exist right now to give me money.
I have absolutely no trust, respect or any sort of connection forthwith.
This is not your fault nor is it mine. I wish I knew whose it was so I could throttle them.
I don't like living in constant state of fear and panic, I don't like that when I hear your voices I start cringing, I don't like falling asleep hearing you discuss the future you have planned for me, I don't care hearing how every other child- how every other person is better than I am, how this isn't the "real" me, how I need to work harder to better than everyone else, how I'm not good enough, how I'm not like you.



I hate:
how you care so much about what everyone thinks,
HOW YOU'VE NEVER SHOWN ME OFF IN YOUR ENTIRE LIVES unless it was to show what a good person YOU were,
HOW YOU'VE TRICKED ALL THE OTHER ASIANS INTO THINKING YOU'RE MORE MODERN AND LIBERAL THAN THEM and then turnaround and tell me that we're OLD MONEY and SO TRADITIONAL because we're BETTER than all those losers,
how every conversation holds implications about my character,
how when you call I stop breathing, when I wake up in the morning the first thing I have to do is find my mother and make sure she is in a good mood or will ALLOW me to do something before I even get out of bed.
How when you finally sit me down and ask what's so wrong, I can't think of anything to tell you because "OH ALL FAMILIES DO THAT, YOU TAKE EVERYTHING SO SERIOUSLY",
how I can't trust you to the point where I have to lie about just going out to get a cup of coffee,
how I have to act like an FBI agent around you and in my own "home",
how you made me so insecure that I don't even trust people who want me,
how you convinced me that I was so hideous and horrible that the boys that hit on me thought I was easy because I was so ugly and desperate.

I hate:
how you keep trying to raise me as if we're in Pakistan while putting me through an elite American education system,
how you'll allow me to do ridiculous things to impress other people but when it's a personal issue it doesn't matter at all,
how you try to make me believe that everyone is out to get me,
how you try to convince me that you're the only people who love me and care about me,
how you made me stop cutting myself because "people will ask" about my scars,
how you've determined my whole life to fit what your parents couldn't get you to do,
how you wouldn't let me kill myself when I tried to,
how you made me cry so much that I promised myself I wouldn't cry anymore.


I want to cry.
I'm sick of choking on emotions. But I can't cry anymore.
I have no tears, only a throbbing pain in my temples.
I try to sometimes because it makes me feel better.

I absorb everything that happens now. I promised I would never let any of you see how much you effect me because I don't want you to know that anything you do or say HAS any effect.
And then I forget about it as soon as possible so I don't have to think about it.


You don't mean anything to me. You are just living ATM machines. You disgust me. I'm never going to forgive you for what you've done. There is no love in my heart for you anymore.
I feel like I'm constantly in competition with all of you and that we judge one another so much it's as if we're all complete strangers.

I just wish that I could cry about this. But I can't. I can't. I can't.

Danka danka danka dirka dirka dirka



:| I went to A-Kon and bought myself cat ears.
Because I fucking wanted some cat ears damn it.


I just remembered ages 13-15.
Wearing System of a Down shirts and listening to Wolf Parade and rocking doorknocker earrings.
I mean...I was so weird and letting the music I listened to define me.
I really liked myself then. I thought I was better than everyone.
Hell...I WAS better than everyone else. Fucking automatons.
.

This whole psyching yourself out thing works wonders.
Also I kind of don't want to go to England.
I need to work.


I I I I I I I I
I've realized I talk about myself too much and don't listen enough.
:(
This must be remedied.

Also I want more cat ears.

It's Blitz



I want to go out and buy the New Order CDs just so I can have the album art as well as the music.
Me and Molly are working on this thing together.
Good things are going to start happening, I can feel it.

But then again....Everything that can go wrong will go wrong.
It's best not to be optimistic and just do what you can.

I think this is just some odd surge of positivity that will begin to wane at the smallest sign of something bad. But I will ride it out for what it's worth.

I think I might be back to my old self again.
I just need to find my green mascara and fake eyelashes with the glitter on them.

Frightening.

Allow me to show you



I hope I'm not the only one that finds the above image incredibly fascinating with much potential for re-interpretation?

So anyways, now that I'm not distracted anymore...

Molly and I are working on our backup plans.
We're looking at apartments but I think her housing might pull through.
If my dad fails to deliver (which is highly likely) then I'm just going for it.
And if it's the Grand Marc then so be it. -___-
I have the money saved and I don't think they'll care once I actually do it.

On another note, I need to get this fucking room fixed up asap and stop consuming so much sugar and caffeine.

Anyways, my IRL friends....
Molly, Sandi, Nicky, Moogy, Kyle, Kim, Katy, Gabby, Todd, Tony, Tiff, Allie, Arub, Aziz, Rumsha, and Erin.
These are people I consider the closest to me and that I'm going to try my best to keep close to me.
And, fuck yeah, I'm lucky to be able to name off so many people.

Anyways, I think i spotted an internship with a publishing company on the school website, so I'm going to look at that.
It's just that I literally have to wait till the last minute for everything due to the people I live with....but yes that will need to happen.

And I'm definitely waiting on a job.
I've turned in ten applications in one month and no calls.
What they don't get is that I will literally be a wage slave for them and work my face off.

Anyways. Things will work out somehow. They always do.
But that doesn't mean I'm going to stop being an overdramatic defeatist :D

The one where the audience is all dead.

I miss hanging out with skaters and listening to songs about necrophilia.

Anyways.
It's been confirmed: I can't stand T.S. Elliot.
Two poems, that's it.
'The Hollow Men' and 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock'.

I'm going to have so much fun with my fucking liberal arts degree.
:|
I can roll blunts with it or maybe shoo away flies.


I think I would like to go to New York.
I'm going to find the faggots here who think they're unique and see if they're willing to work on my zine with me.
And liking rap is going to be a requirement.

I don't think you're beautiful, I think you're beyond it





I've realized I'm shallow.

I'M OKAY WITH THIS.








[5/30/10 11:09:18 PM] Mern Haider: I had a dream that I had this huge surprise party at my house and it freaked me out because there were so many people
[5/30/10 11:09:24 PM] Mern Haider: and then because you and me are awkward as fuck
[5/30/10 11:09:32 PM] Mern Haider: we just snuck out into the backyard and smoked
[5/30/10 11:09:33 PM] Mern Haider: :/
[5/30/10 11:09:39 PM] Nick W: LOL
[5/30/10 11:09:39 PM] Mern Haider: SEE HOW LAME WE ARE
[5/30/10 11:09:42 PM] Mern Haider: EVEN IN MY DREAMS
[5/30/10 11:09:46 PM] Nick W: wow
[5/30/10 11:09:50 PM] Mern Haider: WE CAN'T EVEN BE COOL SUCONSCIOUSLY APPARENTLY
[5/30/10 11:10:01 PM] Nick W: wtf is wrong with us
[5/30/10 11:10:07 PM] Mern Haider: srsly





si quieres, si tu quieres



I found my high school journal.
I think I'll be using that again.
The last entry was my waiting on my acceptance letter from SMU in late April.
Well, since then I got rejected, got accepted, accepted me, met people who accepted me, forgot who I was, figured it out, and am now trying to piece it together again.
Goddammit.
I'm awesome.
Everyone else can
Suck
My
Dick
