I think I'm agoraphobic.

I want to die. Why am I always so useless, always crying, always scared, always I can't do anything. I miss my grandma. Always always, if there's one person I want to stay for. I can't. I try to fill the time with new interests, new activities, I say I can always find something to occupy my thoughts. It's never important. Always crying, always scared, always ever never as good as I hope to be. I wish I could make her proud. I wish I knew why I'm always always crying.

I am actually at the moment quite depressed. Not the 'bleh emo depressed', but rather the I'm thinking of suicide every night type depressed. I'm not quite sure whether it is the stress from applying for internships and realizing that I don't really have much of a career or that there is seriously something with me. I'm terrified. Panic inducing terrified. When I'm cooped up, especially in a vehicle for more than 20 minutes, I start getting sick, quite obvious when I broke out in a sweat and gasping for air while cabbing home from the airport. I feel so out of control....

I'm contemplating......I'm contemplating that lately I've been thinking about death alot.
And that really.....all this frustration will amount to nothing.
Rejection is imminent.

Yesterday, I discovered, to much horror, there was a massive fat book hidden at the back of the shelves which I haven't yet read! Oh my.
And it was a book I thought I didn't get too....Eldest, the sequel to Eragon by Christopher Paolini.
The reason I was so horrified is because for the past month I've been scrambling and making my library a wreck in the search to reread old books. Books, I've found, new ones anyway, gleaming away in big bookstores, are intensely expensive. Somehow I can no longer justify getting that new awesome $60 paperback. Boo. Much boo.
So I've reread all of Diana Wynne Jones, LJ Smith's Dark Visions, Tamora Pierce's Quartets, the Mercedes Lackey books I have, Eddings' Athalus, and even manged to finish Terry Brooks Shannara novels (the original series anyway) and other random bits and pieces that look good.
Then I spied the big fat red cover at the back, and went hmmmm. Truthfully I disliked Paolini's Eragon. In the same vein as the Shannara novels, Eragon was derived from much better, much more original fantasy epics and hodged podged together. Finishing it I was so sorely disappointed, it lacked depth, it was all aspiring to be, and not quite reaching there. I think if it weren't for Paolini's age when he first published the book, it wouldn't have quite reached the status the trilogy have today. Plus the movie disregarded much of the book and is partway decent.
So apparently I did get the second book eventhough I distinctly remember pointedly ignoring it the last few times I was in a bookstore.
And yes, the pace is slow, the secondary characters especially Roran outshone Eragon, and I knew for sure Murtagh did not die =.=
Sigh.
Anyways, I'm feeling grumpy today.

I was tagged by Suan.
Pwoah....all I can think of is very depressing things......=(
1) Books, books, books. They're the only things guaranteed that'll make me happy, although now I feel quite sheepish roaming in the young teen section and have to, you know, go haunt the non-teen sections =(
2) My typical sneeze consists of multiple (atleast ten) achoos consecutively.
3) If you think I am clumsy now, when I started school (at age 6) I managed to fall and come home with bloody knees every week without fail. I did manage to bypass the breaking of limbs during childhood phase, then proceeded to break my head at age 17.
4) My most favourite person in the world is my grandma, no matter how much we may argue or fight for the remote control.
5) I've always wanted an older brother.
6) Best place to fall asleep? In a moving car. Can't do it on the plane though.
7) If no one is looking (aside from the cat), I'd sing and boogie around madly in the living room. Usually nude. Possibly out of tune.
8) I've a thing for feet. And stripy socks.
9) From the chinese side of the family, I like to eat all sort of things like tripe and durian. From the french side of the family, I've learned what NOT to like, unfortunately they turn out to be oysters, and escargots. I HAVE eaten a total of 3 snails, under duress and never again.
10) For that matter- bubble tea, sashimi, wicked wings. The typical dinner when I'm living alone (with the cat, during university semesters), and when I'm too lazy to cook spaghetti.
11) I can't really stand shopping. Unless it's for books or art supplies.
12) No one has really noticed I've been involved in every dance production in high school and oh my, I was a cheerleader.
13) I've a crippling fear of bathrooms, mirrors and walking up and down stairs.
14) There is a tendency for me to have intense up and down moments so you'll either get a hug or wry cynicism.
15) I don't think more children should be brought into the world because there are already plenty who are suffering, and I have a low tolerance for idiotic parents....or idiotic people in general. Life is already plenty testing, without people making it worse.
For that matter, I think there should be compulsory parenting classes and some sort of system engineered so that only people with good parenting genes get to have off-springs.
16) It shouldn't really surprise people that I also support dictatorships...if, you know, I was the one doing the dictating. I already have plans to invade an island. Just to start off with.
17) I'm actually quite fascinated by human nature.
18) I prefer and communicate better via writing as opposed to speaking. I think I have a lisp.
19) I say three as tree. The sound 'th' is difficult for me.
20) Sometimes I think I'm way too ambitious and wonder if I can live up to it.
21) When I'm nervous I rock back and forth and pick at my lips, which would explain why they're always rough and in need of lip balm.
22) Most productive time of the day? 2a.m-6a.m. Which would explain the constant dark rings around my eyes.
23) I use procrastination like a well honed weapon. Mainly cos I'm too much of a perfectionist in a really weird way and know that once I begin something I HAVE to do it well and it usually involves just staring at the task for a really long time which is another form of procrastination anyway.
24) I'm a terribly conflicting person and find it obsessively interesting and boring at the same time.
25) Urm. This is sort of demonstrative that I have a hard time starting something and end up finishing quite quickly. Ta.
