"I'm just a sorrow expert now
The more I love the more I drown
And the saddest part is I loved what's ours
And that's when I give more"


I've been quite good, lately. Go, me! Sometimes, though...I just get angry. When I was in college, I'd throw things. Glass made the prettiest sound smashing against my wall. I always felt it coming-- that moment before I put out my hand to find something, anything. The cognitive split in my brain between wanting to destroy something, and not wanting to destroy anything valuable or irreplaceable. I haven't done that in a very long time. Though...now I think on't, there's a dent in the wall over my bed from a cup I launched in a particularly pissed-off moment. Same shit, different day.

And it's been even longer since I slapped anyone. Hm. I'd say that's a good thing, I suppose. Despite my inner suspicion that some people desperately need it.

Having stepped over the line, it's time for bed.

I love that sound...

The silvery tinkle of glass shattering and then meeting the carpet.

Once I lost it completely and threw every object that was on my bathroom sink...

at my ex-husband.

But I loved having cheap tchotchke around that I would throw at the wall to hear that satisfying shatter.

and how my mood broke with it...

I do this mentally. Block out everything else and try to vividly imagine myself hurling drinking glasses at a big brick wall of one of my old apartment buildings.

I'm serious. It's not AS satisfying as the real thing (although I never did actually hurl things at that wall, but it'd have been perfect for it), but it helps.
