I hate my freakin life. Wow, I guess you've never heard that from a teenage girl before! Well, I'm definitely pretty typical as far as human standards go: black hair, big eyes, pale skin, very thin frame, tall, and fairly intelligent. I'm not too nice though. I can't really think of any friends I have. I know, how sad am I! But I suppose you could count Sally as a friend. We don't hang out, but she doesn't fawn over me or anything. My uncles are decidedly NOT my friends. Oh yeah, and then there's my disease.
Now, don't think I'm a typical eating disorder patient, cause I'm not. Sure, I restricted, lost 35 pounds, went into the hospital. But I now have the opposite problem. No one seems to have any sympathy for the binger; it's only the anorexic they care about. Well, forget them. I don't need them. I don't need anybody. I'm fine just the way I am. Let my uncles lock up the blood in the house so I don't drink everything. Let them say they're not ashamed of me when I know they are. Let them tell me I'm beautiful when I'm decidedly ugly. I don't care about them. They mean nothing to me.
No one really understands me. I guess I hope that by writing in this journal, someone out there will.
Oh well.
Here goes nothing!
-Valencia Mason, vampire, teenager, compulsive over drinker
