[edit] Transcription of spoken word

Girl's voice: It's alright now (unclear) The house is finally empty, nobody around. I knew there'd be no other chance than right now to express myself. Nobody around to stop me. And I...I got paper and...a razor...and (unclear) right to my room. I like to write about how upset I was and how much anxiety I had. I look down...

I look down at the (unclear) blood. I only wanted a little blood, but I didn't know how deep a fresh blade could cut. The blood just streamed. I was really disgusted but I did it anyway. I love the wound even though it hurt...and well I wondered how in the world I was gonna hide this from mother. I could do it myself by pulling the skin together and taping it really tight. And I suppose I really should have gotten stitches but well, I dunno.
