verdana;"&gt;it poured this morning- not the most inspiring way to start a new job.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;decided to have one beforehand- just this one time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;And i went to work at 10.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;By 11 i hav found out that not only is there no option for health insurance, but they also tip out 10-15% per person (having more than one frequently) and apparently i train for free. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;"i did 5 doubles, and i don't think i got paid for it"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;um, no.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;everything is off the books pretty much.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;"we write ourselves checks at night- the drawer usually doesn't have enough cash in it"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;"we don't clock in"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;by 11:30 i was pretty damn upset that i cancelled the bank interview- actually went to the bathroom to beg a reschedule (checkmate, thank god!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Spent the rest of the morning and part of the afternoon (still pouring and chilly)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;fantasizing about where i was going to go afterwards to gorge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;yeah. good day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;politely told them i wasn't going to come back tomorrow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;ended up going nowhere special...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;mom was home, lingering.  all i wanted to do was be alone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;she finally left.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;and i hunted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;they call me the scav.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;In the bathroom, 45min later, christening the toilet and picking the crap out of my face.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;(first time in over a week!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;totally destroyed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;and so i watch tv. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;cable is really a bad influence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Golden Girls, The Nanny, and *finally* Futurama.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;oh, and i hate facebook.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;i always jump the fucking gun.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;and look what happens?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;this is why i hate telling people anything.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;something almost always goes awry, and i feel like an ass.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;on a lighter note,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;i had a great dream this morning&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;for some reason, about DS.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;but it was awesome.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;we actually kissed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;and it was great! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;i need to meet some people.  or go out. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;less than 30 days, right ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div

I wasn't ready to leave before then by any means.  Wednesday was spent barfing more than once.  Its amazing that it didn't happen thursday, the first day of the drive which i guess could be day #1.&lt;br /&gt;Day #2:  dreamed about stopping at a restaurant, gorging and barfing in a matter of minutes.  Thought about this for a good 3-5hours.  But something kept me together- whoa!  yay ?&lt;br /&gt;Day #3.&lt;br /&gt;So my problem is this:  i can starve myself all day, no problem.

I binged again tonight- it wasn't my original intention.  but, surprise, surprise.  where did it begin...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;   sold the table tonight- gave me a high.  before that, i wanted to binge.  but there was nothing in the house worth binging on.  decided to go out to take my mind off of it.  went out to the plaza, wandered around, bought some sake.  Went to the craft store, got lots of ideas.  Surprisingly enough, bought nothing (proud of myself!).  Went to the grocery store, didn't buy anything binge-worthy.  Haircolor, nair- thought it'd be a beauty night.  Got home, started on the sake.   Made a necklace.  Kept drinking the sake- and the thoughts came back.  ended up walking to the store to buy supplies.  came back, put a dvd on, and started.  let the games begin!  ate, ate, ate til i could feel no more.  doritos, ice cream, a pot filled with spaghetti, sticks of butter, grated cheese.  the cat watched, ate pasta, licked the cheese container.  then, the awful feelings came.  all of the sudden, felt as though i was drunk- numb, fuzzy, dizzy, nauseous.  wanting to curl up on the floor.  wanting to feel the coolness of the tile against my forehead.  overloaded, filled with sugar.  started to throw up (in a plastic bag) on the kitchen floor.  started simultaneously to feel better.  the more that came up, the better i felt.  it was as if the alcohol hit me all at once, when the food was in my stomach (contradictory, no?).  the more heaved, the better felt.  burned my nasal passage, but small consolation.  vomited until the acid came up.  more than once.  and my equilibrium was reached.  felt so much better... the poison was out of my system.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;hope not to die in my sleep. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;hope to wake up. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;what the fuck.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;is wrong. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;with me. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img src="http://tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:jsyWTLUS5PxIbM:http://bipolarblast.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/raven_17812.jpg" style="border: 1px solid ; margin: 10px 10px 0pt; float: left;" alt="See full size image" height="80" width="53" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1366611055849485420-5760555708463594026?l=munchiemusings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://munchiemusings.blogspot.com/feeds/5760555708463594026/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://munchiemusings.blogspot.com/2009/05/5162009.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1366611055849485420/posts/default/5760555708463594026'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1366611055849485420/posts/default/5760555708463594026'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://munchiemusings.blogspot.com/2009/05/5162009.html' title='5.16.2009'/><author><name>Holden F.

Whats left is a very whiney "poor me" boy, who "sucks at life" blah blah blah (please get over yourself!)    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;and guess what? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;i do not care  : ) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;i do not care what happens anymore, nor do i care what any of them think.  it is none of their business, nor is it their problem, and if they want to coddle him, have at it.  It doesn't solve anything, nor does it help.  WhAtEvEr!!  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;So i still feel nervous, but much better overall.  And i am quite good at avoiding situations and not seeing people in person for at least a month or so.... i haven't seen M, for example, since... early January... its a beautiful thing.  I do not need these people, and frankly, i do not want to be around them.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;He tried, but it was too much, and it made me regret everything. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;M has sort of tried, but moreso used me as a therapist and has never sincerely asked how i am. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;and its really funny how little they all know about me.  i am actually the last one to invite M. out, so its not my turn.  i don't enjoy hanging out with depressing bullies anyway.  (hopefully if i vent enough i will not care whatsoever and generally feel better about everything.)  With that in mind, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;fears:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;1. T still associates with them for the most part, and i do not want there to be too much "weirdness".  At the same time, he is also usually the first to jump ship and really only wants to play games and do guy stuff as he cannot stand M, so that limits the social engagements (which is just fine). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;2.  .... huh... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;                    so i guess there is only one fear, and its not really that bad either...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;complaints:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;M doesn't try to change, and i truly believe she is all talk because i never see a difference. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;M does not listen, or else she wouldn't be where she is. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;M. loves to complain and moan and groan.  Some of it is valid and does suck, but most of it is not.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;M. is so submissive yet clingy/dominant that its gross; and yet bizarrely (and also grossly) kinky- ew. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;M's relationship is unbalanced; they do not communicate well. its like a sad little damaged puppy, and the owner who has to take care of her.  its weird and unhealthy. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;M. does not need to have a family. and if this does happen, i really hope i live in another state.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;I will leave M's s'o out of this, as its unnecessary to bring it up. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;don't really have any problems with C/C... and the other has been previously mentioned (several times)  And that about sums up the core.  Thankfully, M has other friends now so i do not need to play a big part in anything.  I have been fortunate enough to be left alone for a bit, and its lovely!  I do love the gossip, which i need to get over... but gossip is just so much fun to hear because its usually absurd haha.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;so its not as bad as i thought... sweet!  now i need to practice my mantra:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;let it go. let it go. let it go. let it go. let it go. let it go. let it go. let it go. let it go...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 324px; height: 204px;" alt="The image “http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uy6KbmJdMfk/SK3PRiKXPHI/AAAAAAAAAT8/T-I_QDklqJs/s400/bird+gossip.bmp” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors." src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uy6KbmJdMfk/SK3PRiKXPHI/AAAAAAAAAT8/T-I_QDklqJs/s400/bird+gossip.bmp" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;...and the peasants rejoiced&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1366611055849485420-3431342738511333193?l=munchiemusings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://munchiemusings.blogspot.com/feeds/3431342738511333193/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://munchiemusings.blogspot.com/2009/02/slight-sigh-of-relief.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1366611055849485420/posts/default/3431342738511333193'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1366611055849485420/posts/default/3431342738511333193'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://munchiemusings.blogspot.com/2009/02/slight-sigh-of-relief.html' title='Slight Sigh of Relief'/><author><name>Holden F.

Yes, i could use a diary and have no one privy to my innermost thoughts (and complaints), but its so neat and tidy online!  Plus no one knows anything- at all-  which is absolutely beautiful!  ha! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;New complaints:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;There was a grievance last week at work- something that has been mounting for some time and came to a head in the most unfortunate, depressing, and frustrating way.  One of my furry guys was put down, and no one of any real authority was consulted (for the most part).  Instead, he was whisked away and gone before i got to work- after it was too late to do anything.  There were many things that occurred that shouldn't have with whole situation- also highly frustrating.  But what most troubles me is the fact that it seemed like she was trying to prove a point- like she has more power than i do.  And really, i've the better position in more ways than one, and would never want her job.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;So these are my problems:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;1. she does not listen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;2. she does not properly communicate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;3. she used to be nice, but lately she's become quite the b*tch, for no reason i can think of! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;4. she cannot read directions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;5. she cannot drop something without having the last word.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;6. there are arguments, accusations, and power-struggles constantly, over the most absurd and nonsensical things! absolutely pointless...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;7. this was the last straw- she took something I had been working with to try and save, something i was more than willingly committed to (so were several others), and killed it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;that should not have been allowed to happen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;and it seems like she did it sneakily, almost.  as if she knew she knew she might get her hand stuck in the cookie jar... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;conclusion: b*tch. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;so i wrote a letter (email actually) of complaint, asking for her to be reprimanded. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;what else can i do?  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;i cannot stand working with her, and i don't even physically have to face her! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;i fear my boss will do nothing because he is... an idiot. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;and uneducated one at that. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;i do not understand how he possibly got the position he has...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;there is something very wrong with this area. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I've noticed that lots of people in higher positions in this area are completely under qualified in every respect- what did they do that i cannot figure out?  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;grr. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;i don't want her working with me anymore- she doesn't deserve it.  And i pray he says something to her before something else ridiculous happens.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;grr. im still pissed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="border: 1px solid ; font-family: verdana;" src="http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:h8TIU4AXyMwGTM:http://www.alaska-in-pictures.com/data/media/4/angry-bald-eagle_5221.jpg" height="85" width="128" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1366611055849485420-8934417325752075593?l=munchiemusings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://munchiemusings.blogspot.com/feeds/8934417325752075593/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://munchiemusings.blogspot.com/2009/02/slightly-satisfied.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1366611055849485420/posts/default/8934417325752075593'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1366611055849485420/posts/default/8934417325752075593'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://munchiemusings.blogspot.com/2009/02/slightly-satisfied.html' title='Slightly Satisfied'/><author><name>Holden F.

I am tired of making excuses and cancelling at the last minute.  I am tired of being asked to hang out.  I have not been openly friendly to this person in oh at least a year and a half- that is a pretty substantial amount of time, wouldn't you think?  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;I don't see why he won't let it go and its highly frusterating.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;And you know what?  i don't think he is a great guy either.  Actually, this is what i think:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;1. You try to be so nice to everyone and sometimes its pretty insincere.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;2. You are a first-class know it all, and not in a nice way- its often obnoxious. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;3. Being straight-edged is fine, but do you have to remind everyone constantly?  Its not new information, we get it.  And yes, it comes off as being "superior", b/c you probably still think you are even though you would never admit that to anyone, possibly even yourself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;4. Get Over High School. You are not a nerd with no friends anymore, you are an adult and have the abilities and skills to make your own damn friends and grow.   No one is classifying this or that group or skill as "cool" anymore, and you should be mature enough not to care. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;5. If you don't start dating... NoW, you never will, and it will make you creepy.    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;                  Think:  40.year.old.virgin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;6. You think you are being so accommodating, but i don't really buy it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;7. Stop trying to play the "poor me" card- again, you are an adult.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;8. GROW.UP. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;9. Get a life. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;10. LET.It.G0. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;11. Leave me alone!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;12. Of course i'm going to be nice to you in public because thats WHAT ADULTS DO!  Its not just me, its most of CIVILIZATION.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;13. Stop clinging on to bits and pieces of everything. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;14. You are only hurting yourself and digging further into a hole.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;15. You are emotionally stunted- get over it and try to fix it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;16. I am sorry i ever told you anything about myself- emphasis on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;anything&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;- and i completely regret it.  I was substituting you for something that was missing, which was wrong.  And i apologized for it.  Then you said nasty things and we really had a blow out.  And i just want this all to be over because it is childish and RIDICULOUS.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;                    16-B: i regret telling you anything foremost because it made me vulnerable and gave you information.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;                16-C: you wield information like a weapon, which is not nice, fair, or actually beneficial (to you) in any way.  I do not believe that you are aware of the fact that it never helps your case, but it doesn't.  It falls under the 'obnoxious/annoying' category, as well as 'mean', because exposing peoples wounds just because you were privvy to the information does NOT, i repeat does NOT make them like you/respect you more!  guess what? it does the OPPOSITE!  Throwing priveleged information which maybe makes you feel important (also wrong) instead hurts the person and makes them dislike you and regret your previous discussions! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;17.  in regards to summing up #16, GET.A.CLUE.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;18.  You are too selective- no mensa supermodel is going to knock on your door.  And if she did, you probably wouldn't be able to physically talk to her anyway! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;19. You may have information, but you really don't know anything about me. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;20. You need to start learning how to listen to people. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;21. You need to start being receptive. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;22. You think you are trying to be supportive through encouraging me to do things.  If you were receptive or ever listened, you would realize that i do NOT want that encouragement because i am so very over it.  You think i still want it or should still want it for some reason- and guess what? still don't.  And i also don't believe you.  Maybe its what you think i should be striving for because i am not "reaching my full potential", something that is purely in your head.  Really, it bothers me the attention/support because i so don't want it.  So stop trying to be all supportive- i think it falls under your category of falseness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;23. You make way too many assumptions, most of which are usually wrong. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;24. You don't know everything- really you know nothing about most things, those things that will get your farther in life. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;25. Maybe you are right and i do hate you because this list just seems to continue.  Maybe i can't stand hanging out with you and actually dread when you will be in the vicinity, whether public or at someone's home.  Maybe i never want to talk to you and volunteer as little information as possible, in a very unenthusiastic (which you are too dense or excited to pick up on) manner.  Maybe i wish you'd go away and wouldn't be sad if i never saw you again.  Maybe i'd be thrilled if we moved tomorrow and i never had to see you, or a few choice others, ever again. Maybe. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;26. Stop commenting on every-fucking-thing on Facebook!  No One Cares!&lt;br /&gt;27. i know you better than probably anyone ever will and that is most unfortunate.  For me because i don't care but i can read you beyond well.  For you because it is sad, since i haven't cared for a very long time.  And i hope for your sake that you do meet someone who will put up with you and change you hopefully for the better because everyone deserves happiness. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;But i am tired of arguing, and trying to explain myself.  I am tired of pussyfooting and trying to make sure no ones feelings are hurt.  You think i'm nice to you in public because i don't want people to think less of me.  You are straightup wrong in thinking i am "pleased" to see you because i never am.  I smile when i see everyone, you are not special.  You are transparent to me, and most likely will never change much.  I strongly suggest trying though.  I would never be mean to anyone in public because it is CHILDISH and IMMATURE. i am an adult.  I may have things to work on but at least i try and am more successful in areas you will most likely struggle with for the rest of your life.  I may not have a well paying job but everything else is awesome and personally, those things matter much more. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;So this is what i want- its very simple, really. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;1. Please stop trying to hang out with me.  I am not comfortable with it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;That's all.  think i'm a phony? fine.  think i'm fake?  fabulous. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;You think i care if you feel that way-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;you think i care if others think poorly of me- &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;i used to. but with you guys, i sooooooo don't. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;because you are all emotionally and/or socially and/or psychologically inept and screwed up.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i usually cannot stand most of you, and find myself wanting to drink when you are around. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;so i don't care if you think i'm mean. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;get over it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;and stop bothering me. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="border: 1px solid ;" src="http://tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:h9vOVG5tyu3sDM:http://www.naturephoto-cz.com/photos/birds/bearded-vulture-1899.jpg" height="103" width="135" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1366611055849485420-6933162703256276951?l=munchiemusings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://munchiemusings.blogspot.com/feeds/6933162703256276951/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://munchiemusings.blogspot.com/2009/02/sick-and-tired.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1366611055849485420/posts/default/6933162703256276951'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1366611055849485420/posts/default/6933162703256276951'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://munchiemusings.blogspot.com/2009/02/sick-and-tired.html' title='sick and tired'/><author><name>Holden F.

Nevertheless, I cannot seem to escape the customer service industry (few can and kudos to those who do!) and still, more often than not, feel that way. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Can't say it doesn't ring true of aquaintances, either... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I have about a handful (or less) of close friends... most of whom are not in the same area and i never actually see.  And you know what? i have no problem with this- not having bountiful numbers.  I have turned into a homebody, and thats great.  I'd rather stay home with my boys and chill out, or maybe go out with the bf, than hang out with "our" friends.   (it is a rare occasion when i am able to get together with those i like here b/c of conflicting crazy schedules...)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Fortunately, the bf feels the same way as i do about our "friends", as they can be unbelievably annoying, obnoxious, and immature (aren't i a good friend? ha).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;but if i never saw them again, starting now, that'd be more than ok. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;they are good for gossip though- and boy do i adore dirt! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;i'm so bad...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;                       ...and i don't care.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;i just want to be left alone.  i hate it here, can't say i've met many normal people, either.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;the relationships here are not healthy, and it pisses me off. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;in accordance with one, he never listens to me, respects my wishes, or knows whats going on.  Instead, he seems to use things he knows about me to somehow prove a point- maybe that he knows me well. but he doesn't know anything which is really ironic...  For example, he will try to provide encouragement- sounds normal right?  Factor in the element that i have never desired said encouragement and therefore it really bothers me because it seems as though he thinks he is being so helpful and wonderful by offering it.  And i just don't care anymore.  i want it to stop...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;he is absolutely relentless, unfortunately.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;the other can be sweet, to an extent, but i have yet to see why her old friends are still hanging around because i cannot figure it out-what the initial attraction was/is.

Had to knock my enthusiasm out somehow...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;We went out, had a couple of drinks, came home, chilled.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;Nothing crazy, kinda ate and napped for the rest of the night. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;And now its practically saturday, which makes me sad. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;I don't enjoy saturdays, more specifically saturday nights, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;because that means:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;1.  i have to go to work on sunday, starting my week a day earlier than most&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;2.  i usually get ditched saturday nights, and spend a lonely evening getting into trouble. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;not fun. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;So, i don't want saturday to come.
