  Dear Journal,

 Yeah, so i started playing imvu again ;\ i dont know since vmk closed i mean there's nothing else to do on my spare time. Even though i miss vmk with all my heart...... imvu is my next game i wonder what they are imagining next. But anyways my sisters boyfriend bruised his hand and he had to go to the hospital cause it was getting swollen but yeah otherwise that i guess my day was you know boring. I had to babysit my cousin yesterday and it was hell oh man kill me. I was suffering so much i cant even believe my mom didnt tell me. But, i guess whatever we had a yard sale and my mom got like 200 and gave my aunt like the whole thing practically. My mom is so annoying she thinks cause i am afraid of being in the spot i dont like to help I FUCKING HATE BEING ON THE SPOT AND SHES SO ANNOYING!!!!!!!!!!! god so i my aunt i wanted to scream at them it got me so mad. WHATEVER well i g2g im getting pretty tired.

     Peace & love Bri

I haven't posted for a LONG time here!  Let me update you all... I'm over 8 months pregnant (less than 4 weeks to go till my due date) so I haven't been training for a fitness competition or anything like that lately.  But, thinking about it, getting ready to have a baby surprisingly has many similarities to getting ready for a fitness competition... You have to stay fit, eat the right things, do special exercises to help with birth, you get weighed every two weeks by your doctor (not for the same reason you weigh yourself when leaning out for a fitness comp, but still), you have the calendar countdown (3 weeks and 4 days till the big day and counting!), you're obsessed with reading everything to do with babies, birth,  and pregnancy online and in books just as you would be for fitness comps, and of course you join a few forums on the topic, you drive your family and friends nuts obsessing over both, and of course,  your body changes dramatically for both (in different ways!)

I've been keeping up with my workouts throughout the pregnancy, but of course I've lowered the weights, upped the reps, and I don't run for cardio anymore.  Usually I do some sort of elliptical or walking workout for cardio which feels totally lame to me cause I LOVE to run, but it's OK for now I guess!  I also have continued teaching almost all my dance classes at the studio which I think is keeping me fit and sane! 

I have so many goals for once the baby has come and I can start working on my body again.  I can't wait to be hardcore again! I actually hope to compete in a fitness competition in June 2009!  I'll keep you posted!

well i know most people have moved alot even schools well i havent but  when i changed schools i hadnt had any friends i had to try and show my real self and even then no  one was my friend i did a whole term without friends suport i even got bullied under the teachers nose but i didnt cry as soon as i got  home because i learned i didnt need friends to be happy i mean i had all of my family friends and at the end of the day i would just tell them how i was so tired of being a reject i  never told my perants they thought i had friends but i didnt. in term 2 i finally got a friend but she turned out to be a person who just wanted to look good finally she made new friends and said she was just useing me but thats when i thought just to give up. in the middle of term 2 a new girl came and we became bestest of friends  and now that this year has come i changed classes and made a whole bunch of new friends and i learnt to be tought the hard way.  so let me tell everyone who dosent have friends and no one wants to be their friends never give up

good  night to very one

   Why does my mom prefer my sister over me? Even if she always make my mom cry because of the things she did. Last year, my sister got involved in a scandal, Paris Hilton kind, but, seems like everyone just forgot about it. My mom still prefer my sister over me. She listens to her more and sides on her opinions. I do whatever my mom told me to to please her and make her love me more, but, nothing. I don't think she recognizes me. Seems like eveything I do is nothing to her. She clearly loves my sister more even though she doesn't want to admit it. But, it's so obvious that other relatives notices it too

WELL THE DAY STARTED AND I WAS CHECKING MY MAIL, WHEN I CHECKED MY MYSPACE I HAD A MESSAGE FROM AN OLD FRIEND, WHICH HAPPENS TO BE A GIRL, AND HAPPENS TO BE A GIRL I AM STILL MADLY IN LOVE WITH, BUT I AM ALSO IN LOVE WITH MY FIANCE AND HER SON WHAT DO I DO I LVOE MY FIANCE AND CANT LOOSE HER BUT THEN THERE IS THIS OTHER GIRL WHO I STILL AM IN LOVE WITH, IM SO CONFUSED ITS NOT FUNNY, GOD DO I NEED HELP. HOW DO I MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE, I KNOW THAT EITHER ONE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ME FOREVER BUT I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT I AM DOING ANYMORE, HAS ANYONE EVER HAD THIS MOMENT IN THERE LIFE WERE YOU WAKE UP AND REALIZE THAT YOU ARE STILL IN LOVE WITH A FORMER GF, GOD IF THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME HOW DO WE HANDLE IT AND OF COURSE SHE DOESNT KNOW SHE NEVER HAS SO I GUESS I COULD JUST LEAVE IT ALON AND GO ON MY WAY BUT THEN THERE ARE THE WHAT IFS, I DONT WANT TO GET MARRIED THEN ALWAYS WONDER WHAT IF, BUT I CANT LOOSE THIS WONDER FUL PERSON AND HER SON WITHER, I CER RUMBA SO LOST IN THIS THING THAT WE CALL LOVE AND SO NEED SOME PROFESINAL HELP.

I got alot that I need to express, hopefully this is the beginning.  Sometimes when I bottle up innocent emotions they eventually turn into rage.  If not rage then stress, I feel the stress right now and its becoming over-whelming.  I think back to when I was 18, that was the most stress free time of my life.  I try to attribute what made my life so stress free at that time.  Cetainly it wasnt because of lack of problems, was it because I could release my stress out by smoking pot?    Maybe, cuz now Im not "allowed" to smoke pot, if I do then the wife will leave me.  I have secretly gotten high, a few times, and I get so paranoid about getting caught by her that I dont enjoy it.  So, I just avoid it altogether.  I cant believe I gave that up for her.

Ive given alot up for her.  I have sacrificed friends, money, time...lots and lots of time.  Then she cheats on me.  I only found out in January, I still think about it everyday and wonder if I made the right decision to stay with her.  I think she guilted me into it.  I was never unfaithful, but she said that I was miserable to be around because I hated my job so much, she siad it made me a person she didnt want to be around so she started looking for that spark in other men.  the funny thing is, she doesnt admit to sleeping with the one guy that I found out about.  She claims that she only talked to him and that she cheated on me before we were married due to having cold feet.  But the guy i found out about, I actually called him.  He says that they slept together after we were married.  I asked why he would say such a thing, what motive would he have to lie to me, what would he gain out of it?  I cant think of anything, maybe if he werent married then I could see him lying to me so that the two of them could be together but thats not the case.  When I confronted her about it, she was gonna leave me.  I had to beg her to stay... go figutre that one out.  She cheats, then I beg her to stay.  Im basically giving her a license to kill.

Why did I stay with her?  Love, I guess.  i felt that i somehow was the cause of this.  that it was my fault she cheated, I still fell like Im the one to blame.  I know Im afraid to be alone.  I cant imagine dating again, especially now that im balding, over-weight, going grey, lost some of my teeth... at least when I was a teenager I was just over-weight.  At the time that was difficult enough, but looking back on it now, it doesnt seem so bad.  Im 27 years old and I look and feel like Im 70.  I fucking hope I live a very short life cuz I am not happy with it, and Im too chicken shit to kill myself.

What do I hope to achieve from this journal?  Some stress relief, get some things off my chest, that might help me to cope with day to day life.  I have alot of baggage, I have done some really shitty things and I have had alot fo shitty things happen to me.  they have been bottled up inside forever and they are eating me up inside, so I guess its time for a release, otherwise I know I will self-destruct.  For now though, the thing that haunts me daily is my marriage, until i can get past that i wont be able to explore the past.  Hopefully this helped me a bit.  Maybeone day i will get fed up and finally do something that makes ME happy for a change, rather than putting everyone ahead of myself.
