  • Breaking point?

    Okay, so I admit I should have studied more for Chemistry, days prior, in fact. It's stressful, and I'm going to bed and getting up at 6 to study for my Psych final and my chemistry final. But I just got a text that...in my state of being stressed, probably wasn't the wisest thing he could have said.

    I just got a text from a guy, who was recently turned down by the girl he liked, she flat out told him that she wasn't ready to date. So, he sent me a text and begged me to talk to him, so I told him to call me and I gave him...an hour maybe, of my time, to cheer him up, and make him feel better, and to tell him that he's probably going to be upset or depressed for a bit, so to try not to let it get to him, etc.

    Now I know I'm not the expert in relationship advice, obviously some crucial points of the experience part are missing. But I am very logically sound when it comes to observations and knowing people. I knew what he would be like after she rejected him, based off of his temperament, so I gave him advice accordingly.

    Around 10:12 this evening he sent me a text, but I just got it a few minutes ago due to studying. Do you know what it said? "Wow, Mary is a good person to go to for relationship advice."

    Do you know how that made me feel? After I spent time in my day to try to make him feel better about Mary, he turns around and texts me this. Maybe I'm overreacting, but I'm under a lot of stress right now, on top of other...issues that I've been facing lately...not the best impression he could've made.

    If you know me, you know I don't just pass out my precious and valuable time, I could be doing so many other things instead of listening to a sob story and trying to make them feel better. Which, honestly, as emotionless as I am, that's kind of difficult for me in the first place. So to hear that, after I took that time...I'm furious. Maybe I'll be better in the morning, but this...idk, I can't really say.

    *upset laughter* Do you know how many times I gave him relationship advice? Do you know how many sob stories about his family and his failing relationships I had to sit through, and try to feel empathy for? I've had 2.5 years of this, and I'm finally just sick of it. I'm sick of having to pretend to care about every aspect of his life, because he makes it public to me. I understand that he needs someone to talk to, but you know what, maybe anyone will do these days.

    Yes, I've rejected him, but I've known him for years; he's barely known her for a month. I'm not jealous, I'm just really ticked off right now. I mean, what the hell? I can't hate her, I never even met her, so I have nothing against her in any manner, it's all aimed toward him. Regardless, I won't approach him on the subject, I'll stay quiet, like a good little girl.

  • I'm so in love with you

    The title for my blog this time is the title of the song I am currently listening to, it's purely instrumental, but it's techno instrumental, and I love it. I can only take techno for so long, but sometimes I get into those Basshunter moods and I can't stop listening to techno. Speaking of Techno, I love Daft Punk too, just saying.

    Well anyway, I actually wanted to write this post for relationship stuff. No, not for me, for others, just some advice.

    I know that I have random posts where I complain about being single, and I think everyone goes through that, but then again, I've had 20 years of being single. I have friends who are younger, and they are complaining about being single. Really? Why do we need someone to make ourselves feel significant? Why do we constantly have to compare ourselves to our friends who are in relationships? Unless they're deeply in love, not just lust, it's not going to last, and we are just going to watch them break up and date new people. I know it seems like right now that would never happen, but I've been through high school, I'd know just as well as anyone.

    I was quite glad to have never been the friend that constantly had to talk about relationship problems, or brag about this or that with my boyfriend, I got enough of that from all of my friends. Now, I am also a woman, I think there's a different expectation of guys, so I'll address this next part for guys.

    My good friend once told me that it was difficult to keep his thoughts pure because the friends he hung out with watched porn, or talked about inappropriate things, made inappropriate jokes all of the time, and it became so very difficult for him, that he stopped going to the school he had a scholarship for, he couldn't take the temptation anymore. I'm very proud of him for doing that, it's not easy by any means. Regardless, I gained from that a sort of understanding.

    For guys, if you haven't had sex with a girl by the time you're about...what, a sophomore in high school maybe, then there's something wrong with you. It doesn't have to be extreme, but it seems like with guys and the pressure there, that if you're not dating and banging a girl, you're weird and it's not a good stimulus to have. This is a ridiculous way to think. If you have go get your self-worth from banging a girl and then bragging about "being a man" later, there's something more wrong with you. 

    So let me just say this as a shout-out to people out there: don't be in a hurry to date, God will provide someone for you when the time is right. Sure, you'll get depressed, down, dis-spirited, and that's when you need to seek out help the most, because good friends who are godly friends, will tell you that it's okay to wait to date. Just because everyone is doing it, doesn't mean you should jump the bandwagon and join. 

    And I'm not just saying this as a bitterness or anything, as much as I desire to have a relationship with a guy, both emotional and physical, I understand that when the time is right, I'll find him. Now, that doesn't mean I can't flirt before, and if I wanted to date for fun, I'd be open to that. However, I would establish that to the best of my ability before dating that person. As it were, I understand the feeling of being left behind everyone in the relationship department, I've been behind everyone for years in that regard, but as my dad says, I'm ahead. Think of it this way, when you finally meet an amazing person you want to actually legit spend time with and be with, you bring with you the emotional baggage you had before you dated them: I have no baggage to bring into a relationship, and that in and of itself is very rare. And if you've kept up with my blogs, you'd know I've not been in short of admirers and guys who wanted to date me, so it's not an issue of there being no one to date.

    Anyway, just wanted to say that. Well, ciao.

  • Riddle Me This...

    Okay, so I have a query, actually, it's more of an observation, and a query based off of this observation. We have 4 people living in my house. My parents, Amanda (14 going on 15 years old), and me (20 years old). We all have our individual rooms, that's to be expected. However, there is one subtle difference between me and the other residents on this household: they all lock their doors. 

    Seriously! I was walking by my parents' room to get to mine and I heard an audible lock. And Amanda always locks her door. I don't understand, is there some silent agreement that we will all lock our doors? I remember when I was younger, if I locked my door, I was up to no good, so I wasn't allowed to lock my door. I don't even lock my door when I'm changing, that's how accustomed to I am to not locking doors. What I think is really funny though is that, I have the most to hide in my family, and my door is always unlocked. It's not really like I do it on purpose to seem like I'm not hiding anything, but I just think that if I'm stupid enough to leave something lying around, it's my own fault for having it get found, like my diary or something.

    So, here's my question: how can they justify locking their doors, when they have less to hide? 

    Just a query really, I don't expect I'll ever have the answer, and that's okay.

    Well, my worst day of THIS week is over at least. I survived, if barely, my chemistry filled day...ugh. I had a headache from the moment I woke up this morning, and then it turned into a migraine throughout the day. I still have it, though I purposefully overdosed on Tylenol to send it away. I just can't find the energy to do anything when my head is pounding and in pain like it has been all day. 

    Anyway, I have to get up early tomorrow to do Spanish homework that's going to take well an hour to do. I'm directly translating English expressions like "Live long and Prosper" which is hard to directly translate into Spanish, and I have to do each phrase (there are 20) in two tenses, both singular and plural for each verb tense. Blech. No fun.

    Well, night.

  • Too much

    So I really need to study right now, I have (I think) two tests tomorrow (Spanish and Math). But, I need to get my chemistry homework done too, and I really don't want to do any of it. I'm sorta burned out on school, though I'm far from over. I still have...5 tests...no...6 tests to take this week, and I only have 4 classes. Tomorrow I have two, Thursday, I have a test in Psychology, my Lab Final, my last Chemistry test, and an extra ACS test on basic chemistry for extra credit. If I do really well, I can bring my grade up by like, 35 points at the most. It's a 70 question test that is only a positive influence on your grade, and I could REALLY use that right now. I'm a borderline C/B in Chemistry right now. 

    The point? I need to study like hell. However, I'm burned out and don't want to study. You know, I even took off for tonight at work, just so I could study and do my homework? Yeah...I really need to get on that. But...I hate studying. Blech. Regardless, I need to. 

    On another note, I've been in contact with one of my best friends from Texas...10 years ago basically. It's been over...4 years since I've seen her maybe? Anyway, she started texting me randomly on Saturday past, and it was nice to catch up. I hope that I can see her sometime, I really do miss her, though I don't miss her drama. Lol. Maybe she's grown out of it, who's to know until I'm around her?

    Besides all of that, my room is a disaster because I've been so disorganized lately, and, I really need to do laundry, though I did a load recently, which is good. I have started talking to Amos more since that random two months that we didn't really talk. I saw him on Saturday, took him to the movie with me, I also took Michael and Brian. We had a grand old time, and I hope they had fun; sometimes it's hard to tell with those two. I really can't read them as well as I think I can many times. I feel like...they don't want to hurt my feelings? But I think that they fail to realize, I don't really have any feelings that are there to be hurt, so, it doesn't really matter? Anyway, they'll learn with time I suppose.

    Oh, Michael asked me what was going on with the youth group of Sunday, and I recall Brian telling me something about Alyssa, but I don't really remember, because while he was talking, Jena and Lacey were also talking to me, so I was half paying attention. I think what he said was something along the lines that (and don't quote me on this) Dennis was teasing Alyssa about her and Michael and being attracted to each other or some other such nonsense, and then Michael through pure happenstance walked over, talked to her, and sat down next to her, which of course set the whole youth group in an uproar about those two. I think that's what it was, though I'm really not sure.

    Anyway, that's my little tidbit of update. I really need to get studying, I can't procrastinate as much as I want to. 
    Ciao

  • So long?

    Has it really been almost a week or so since I last wrote? How very strange, I thought I had written more recently.

    Well, there's not much to report except that school for Spring semester is coming to a close, this week is the last week of classes, and then the week of the 14-18th I have finals, and I have two finals on the day I'm supposed to graduate. Lol. Isn't that ironic?

    I just got home from watching the Avengers movie tonight, and I can truly say that I liked it, it was good. And funny. And, I found out that there is an Expendables 2 coming out soon! I'm very excited for that! I will try to see it opening day...if I remember. The expendables is one of my favorite movies. :)

    Regardless, I'm not in a particularly pleasant mood. It's not anything substantial, but I'm just...bah, I don't know. It doesn't matter.

    Anyway, that's all. Night.
