Blame Someone Else Day

Today, Friday the 13th, is also Blame Someone Else Day.  So I thought this was a good time to start blaming the people who deserve the blame for shit in my life.  And if they don't really deserve it then that's too bad.  I blame them anyway.

• I blame my heart for leading me down the wrong path time and time again, my brain for being so screwed up and imbalanced, my procrastination for taking so long to write this.
• I blame my school counselors, who decided I had a learning disability even though I'd always been in the "gifted" programs.  It made me grow up feeling stupid, even though I wasn't.  It set me up for failure, made even worse when my high school guidance counselor decided it should be hidden from my school records.  That led to me being thrown into a deep pool without a rope, with nobody realizing I couldn't swim.  It wasn't a learning disability, it was ADHD.
• I blame the university where I made my first attempt at college, who brushed me off when I went to them to report that I'd almost been raped by 3 guys in a dorm room.  Apparently the fact that I was drinking made me misinterpret the situation.  No, it didn't.
• I blame Nothing, because he made me believe it was "inevitable".  For telling his friend I'd be the one to save him.  For making me think things will be different each time.
• I blame my parents for oh so many things.  They broke me down and took the only thing that mattered in my life. 
• I blame the only thing that mattered in my life for being so self-centered that she made things up to suit her own wants and that she didn't care enough about anyone else to realize actions have consequences.
• I blame my friends for being stupid enough to love me even when I shut them out, for supporting me through all my shit, and for even keeping me alive.
• I blame the first person who thought cutting themselves was a good idea.
• I blame my ability to trip over flat surfaces for the screwed up knees & ankles.
• I blame my job for making me exhausted enough to sleep way too late on the days I don't have to work and need to get things done.
• I blame Disney for making me believe in happily ever after.
• I blame my New York Yankees for, ummm, because I can.
• I blame John Hughes for making movies that made me think that the chick who wasn't the popular one could come out on top. 
• I blame everything and everyone else who I couldn't list here because the post would be 10 pages long.
• I'd blame myself for a lot of things, but I can't do that today.

And most of all...

• I blame Zeno.
