About Me


My name is Crystal, Crystal Meth. I am a bitch. You might know me by g, glass, ice, tweak, shards, Tina, speed, shit, and many other names. It doesn't matter what you call me though as long as you do. I love to meet people who think they are always in control. I really like it when you say I don't control you but you control me. I smile inside knowing that means you are mine.I will become your lover and the friend you love to hate and hate to love. I don't mind if you share me with your friends - please do. Soon enough your friends will be shadows.
People talk about me a lot...yeah, you hear them...telling you we shouldn't be together. What do they know? I don't think you should hang around them anymore (unless there is something in it for us). Who needs family, friends, co-workers, children, or anyone else when you have me? I fill every void you think you have and I don't like those people telling you I am bad for you. Just listen to me - I am all you need. Besides they are wasting their breath anyhow. Don't worry, if you don't know what I'm talking about I'll help you understand.
Let's talk about sex. You'll think you are a better lover and this is one of my biggest lies to you. You'll use your imagination and cross boundaries you never thought possible. You may get obsessed in many ways - chronic masturbation, porn on all the time, trading your body for dope, multiple partners, and on and on. I can make you sick.
If you think about using a condom it is probably because it is too late and you didn't. I am helping raise the rate of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), unwanted pregnancies, Hepatitis, HIV/AIDS, and death.
I will change your mind - literally. I have the power to change your brain. What I do up in your head is so strong I can actually cause parts of your brain to die. You'll be so high you don't care. You wont notice what you've lost...not yet anyhow.
And if you put me down for a while you might have trouble with life (depression, anxiety, memory problems, anger, and I could go on). I'll just be straight up here and tell you I do this to you on purpose so you come back to me. Who else is going to be this honest? I don't want you to know that it will take time for your brain to heal itself or that you can feel better w/o me if you find a way to be patient or get some help or sometimes simply know as long as you leave me alone you have a chance to function again. Hell no, I'm selfish...I want us together.
Hey, no one can tell me I am prejudicial. I love everyone. I don't care who you are. I promise not to judge. I bet people have told you before they wont judge, but they all end up lying...I will love you no matter what - regardless of your race, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation(s), income status, age, history of abuse, ethnicity, good family, culture, neglect, physical appearance, weight, eye color, health, number of children, intellect or lack of, heritage, community affiliations, and did I mention I will always be here for you. Come one, come all and invite a friend. We can have a party where I will be the center of attention (ok, so I do like that) and then you'll come back because you know I love you.

My Interests

I am all about glamor and love. Straight up the only person you are truly faithful to is me. You and I will be doing things you never even thought you were capable of (and I don't mean that in a good way). I will get you so twisted you will be convinced the crazy things you do and say are hurting no one. And if you do manage to feel you wont care. It's about me and you.

So you might think a dirty public bathroom is just that - dirty, nasty. Or how about a dumpster? The longer you are with me the better it looks. It starts to look clean or you stop noticing the filth around you. Either way, it'll end up being a good place to get high, hide from the police (that are most likely not even real), hide your stash from your latest score, or hell as many things as you can come up with...and you will.

I will give you plenty of excuses to stay with me.

Maybe right now you shower everyday. Granted you are on tweaker time so who knows really...one day to you is three to someone else. When you shower does the dirt come off? If you aren't sure try taking one and when you get out of the shower run the towel across your arm...I know for some you'll find something on the towel. I know. How about your fingernails? Are they clean? Are your hands clean (not in a metaphor way, either)? When was the last time you changed your clothes?

I'd like to meet:

END METH BEFORE IT ENDS YOU. ASK FOR HELP!!

It is worth quitting.

There is life after meth...give yourself a chance to live.

Music:

I bet you think you are looking pretty hot now, too! Lost some weight, people are paying more attention to you, looking at you and you are thinking you look fine. You definitely look different!

You might not be one that thinks there are bugs crawling under your skin. Congratulations! Gotta tell ya...there will be something...maybe you think there are shards coming out of your pores...or you need to pluck something...or maybe you think there is a bump or something that you have to mess with...you'll know what I am talking about...maybe you get stuck in the mirror...
Do you even know if you have sores?

Hey, let's take something apart and put it back together...again. It's fun to rewire things, too - I don't know why we always have to cut and splice cords from different electric devices though.

Movies:

I bet you didn't think you'd be riding a bicycle at 29 (and not because you are environmentally or health conscious). Or that you'd resort to stealing clothes from laundry lines and someone's shoes off the porch. I know you never imagined being a tweaker and someone people cross the street to avoid. I can offer you a life you never thought possible.

EVERYONE IS WATCHING! EVERYONE IS WATCHING!

WHY IS EVERYONE WATCHING? WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?

When we are together it's pretty obvious. You have no concept of time unless it's time to get high. And for that you will do anything no matter how ridiculous, dangerous, or how many times you promised yourself you would never do whatever it is you are about to do.
