In which Christopher Columbus makes no appearance
my friend called she was really depressed. So as I was doing other things I did my best to devote the greater part of my attention to her. It was hard through, because no matter I said or suggested or came up with it was never good enough. The advice I gave was always met with at least two or three reasons as to why it wouldn’t work. So I finally stopped giving advice and just let her text me all of her problems. I don’t mind really, but I guess I kinda got annoyed because she later told me someone told her almost the exact same thing I had said to her, and she listened to them…
I felt like saying, “Seriously? You just wasted like two fucking hours of my time complaining and being all angsty and when I tell you some pretty good advice you brush it off…yet when this person tells you the exact same thing, you listen to them????”
Gah! It makes me want to scream, and it makes me not want to text back or answer the phone next time she starts in about how depressed she is. But I know that is what friends do…
And to top it all off, my best friend started texting me (during the time I was dealing with my other friend). About how there is this guy she likes and wants to date but doesn’t know if she should, she is afraid of leading him on, she doesn’t know if it’s too soon from her pervious break up, blah blah blah! So on top of being an emotional therapist I had to switch gears at top speed and become a relationship expert.
I don’t even know if the advice I gave her was correct, because frankly, when it comes to guys I could care less. I have no desire to marry or ever get into a romantic relationship. Honestly, I’ve had my share of that crap during high school and I am done.
Now, I know you might be thinking, you just haven’t found the right person yet…well let ME tell you something! I highly doubt there is any guy out there who would meet my standards, and why would I date someone that I don’t have anything in common with?
I don’t feel like a relationship is something you should settle on. Why on earth should I be with someone who doesn’t die of laughter every time he watches Monty Python or someone who can’t quote Oscar Wilde? Or someone who doesn’t know the correct way to pronounce manga or someone who doesn’t appreciate the awesomeness of Caboose from Red vs. Blue?
Yeah, no thank you! I’d rather be alone for the rest of my life than settle in ANY relationship.
Anyways, I guess that was a pretty stressful day. And by the time my younger brother called me to tell me is girlfriend cheated on him I blatantly told him to STFU! In hindsight, I suppose I could have been a little nicer, he is only 16.
But that’s ok; I called him back later and told him to dump her ass.
I guess I am one of those people who other people tell things too. I can’t tell you how many times people have said to me: “I’ve never told anyone this before, but-“I carry a lot of secrets that are not even my own.
So you may be wondering (probably not, but for arguments sake let’s say you were). Who I tell my secrets to or who I complain to. Well, you’re it! Yes, you my nonexistent readers, you alone are the keepers of my never heard before secrets. So feel special and crap, because I rarely tell anybody anything. I’ve always felt it is no one’s business but my own how I feel and I wasn’t raised to go whine to anyone who will listen about my problems.
I like that about LJ. I can type out what I feel and say all sorts of nasty things about the people I know and even love all the while remain anonymous. On top of that, no one will even read these posts to begin with so I have nothing to worry about.
Ah, the joys of anonymously being a bitch!
Well this post is overly long and full of complaints (funny those that are listed don’t even come close to being all of them). So I bid thee adieu, arrivederci, and sayonara!
