I think we should have a national day of non-couples. Anyone who is a couple should have to de-couple for the day. No touching, no talking, and for god's sake, no looking at each other. Me, bitter - why do you ask?

I hate DePaul more and more with every passing day. I think sometime around the day I finally graduate I'll just be a burning fire of all-consuming hatred. Gosh, I hope my degree doesn't burst into flames.

Got my first parking ticket this morning. I got it for parking in front of a school on a "school day". Um, last time *I* checked, school was out for the summer. I think I'm going to contest it - but that's a lot of work so maybe I'll just pay the $50 I don't have and be done with it. *shrugs* I'm actually not all that upset about it, suprisingly.

I think things with me and G are unraveling pretty fast. There's a lot of things that have been getting on my nerves, primarily that she keeps saying she understands the problems I'm having / have had. She's a rich straight white girl that's lived just about everywhere and for the most part lived the all-american dream growing up. I...did not. So it's really starting to annoy me when she says things like "But Bradley, I had curley hair growing up and got made fun of for it, I know what you went through being gay." She thinks she gets it but really, she just doesn't understand. Which sucks, because in all honesty she's the only friend I have in the city. Long story short - I'm unhappy and don't know how much longer I can take it.

My housewarming is Thursday night, and I'm uber excited. I'm doing a cocktail hour theme, with all kinds of candles and pretzels and popcorn and stuff. It's going to be really cute. Hopefully I'll have my camera back from the shop by then so that I can take some pretty piccies of the apt and the party.

Mmm...fried chicken. Guess I know what I'm getting for lunch:)

Oh, right. There's a sooper seekrit something that is coming up soon. Stay tuned for details:)

I just about spit out my drink. Oh my.

I think what happens is, the better off you are, the more the little things annoy you, and if you've had no real distress to compare it to, you blow it out of proportion.
A friend of mine, D, who is quite posh but a decent old stick, said she has a friend X, who's, like, a multi-millionaire, but is always unhappy.
D asked X why she was always so down when she had everything going for her. X's reply was "But my dear, I've got dandelions in my lawn!"

I almost feel as if I need an English to english dictionary as I read this. :-)

Aside from that, I agree with what I think you're saying.

So what about telling her that unless she grew up gay she doesn't know, and that it bugs you when she says it? Maybe she's just not thinking. As opposed to trying to alienate you.

Everyone has periods when life sucks, some for more or bigger reasons than others. It sounds like she's trying to be supportive, but is without clues. If you want to keep having her as a friend and not grind your teeth to dust when you're with her, talk to her about it.

Good luck with the party. I hope it's a great success.

It is pretty bad, isn't it?

[tsavoritegarnet.livejournal.com]

It made me look to see where you were located - cause it hadn't occured to me that you weren't at Berat before this. Silly of me.

No, I'm in Jersey in the English Channel, 15 miles from France.
Jersey = 80,000 alcoholics clinging to a rock.

Ha ha ha ha. I know what your sooper seekrit is. Okay, I only know *what* it is, not what it is, but I do know. Something.

Sorry about you and your friend. I think those kinds of comments would drive me insane. It's not really the same thing, but I hate it when our friends with pets try to compare taking care of a pet to taking care of a child. Dude, a dog is so not a baby. LOL

At least I'm not the only one that thinks that is a little...um...crazy?

[chocgood84.livejournal.com]

That's so. She's just so *naieve* and it irritates me, I guess.

[chocgood84.livejournal.com]

*nods*

Eggggggsssssactly.

[chocgood84.livejournal.com]

I've already said something to her, but she honestly believes she *does* understand it, so I dropped it. *shrugs*

[chocgood84.livejournal.com]

Lol.

"A dingo ate my baby" is the only thing I was thinking about with that, for some reason. Hmm...

[chocgood84.livejournal.com]
