I don't know whether its a cultural thing or what but what's so hard about being on time for things?

Maybe its because I've had to deal with my WHOLE family's problem with being on time. Whenever we're invited to something, we'll leave at the time its starts or much later. Let's say we're having dinner at my aunts and she's says its at 5pm, we won't get there till 7pm.

I think its because of this that I'm crazy anal about being early or on time. I get nervous and panicky if I'm running late.

It bugs me. I make the effort to be on time, and no one else does. I find its disrespectful to be so friggin late.

I dunno, maybe its me

Its funny...I couldn't wait to get outta the house and away from Angel for a bit. I liked getting out and doing things. I knew when I came home, he would still be here. Now he's gone home and I know he won't be coming over, I feel a little sad and lonely.

He drives me a little nuts. He's so spoiled and I spoil him even more. He's messy and a tad lazy. Despite all that, I still miss him and love him.

I've been thinking a lot about this. I'm still not sure whether or not I should bring up him living with me. Even after dating for a little more than a year, I think its too soon for us to make that move. Maybe I should start off slow and give him keys to my place first. I really enjoy having him spend days here with me. Now that I've furnished the living room, we spend a lot more time hanging out and just being a couple at home.

He does treat my place like his own. Hahaha. He has his friends over more often than I have mine.

Speaking of my apartment, I had a talk with my landlord. My lease is up in March and I have yet to find someone to split the rent with. I really dont want to live with a stranger. I really prefer a friend but no one is looking or can afford it. I finally got a copy of my lease so I can get guest passes for parking. 

I want a puppy...bad. I dont think I would feel as lonely or isolated. I also miss my dog at home. She's getting old and I wish I could spend more time with her.

So I'm actually not interested in celebrating my birthday. I guess it might be current circumstances that just prevent me from truly enjoying myself. I miss my grandfather beyond comprehension. Just thinking about him makes me wish I was with him. Just to be able to comfort him, to let him know how much I love him. I worry every day that he's might be getting worse. Will today be the day I get that one phone call? I hope not. At least I'm talented at hiding my emotions. I hate feeling like I'm burdening others with my own problems and worries. Everyone has their own to deal with. I also just don't feel comfortable openly expressing any emotion that isn't anger, frustration, happiness, and any emotions that closely related. I'm sure I'm overdue for a head examination. 

Or I can accept my faults, and contribute them to being an Aquarius. Sounds better than thinking I have some mental issues. I'm sure I do, but who doesnt?

I am flattered that a few people from work have been thinking about my birthday, trying to do a joint celebration for me and others. 

Maybe come this weekend, I'll feel a little excitement for my birthday. Let's hope.

I did get to make Pat feel bad for not being in town. He was trying to tell me that its a special weekend since Da Bears will be playing in the Superbowl, since it happens every 21 years. I told him that I'm more special and I only turn 23 once...so there! He, of course, had no comeback and felt very guilty for not seeing me. I love verbally sparring with the dude. Most of you have witnessed our banter, and "arguments."

 

It's been several months since I've last posted an entry. I can't believe I completely forgot I had this thing. I use to be able to vent to my heart's desire on myspace but now I've made too many friends to do so without consequences. So let's catch up, shall we?

1. I've officially had it with one of my coworkers. He's so unbelievably full of himself. I make very general comments, not specifically referring to him, but somehow he gets all offended and defensive. You've got to be kidding me! How fucking vain do you have to be to think that every comment I make is directed towards you? Its not a personal attack, you narcissic (sp?) bastard! Seriously! He also, somehow, got a full time position at work. I have no idea how he did it. He doesn't work all that much. He wanders the floors most of the time. If a certain female coworker is working, he follows her like a bull. I really can't stand him. His entire being just chafes at me...ugh!

That felt good! I love to vent. Its a shame I can't do it as freely on myspace. I need to vent without the worry that it will offend someone or someone will have the audacity to actually criticize my thoughts and words. Its like the concept of journaling is lost on those people. Honestly, who the hell are you to criticize my thoughts? Would you like me to pick apart your words and criticize things that I don't know anything about? Is that fair?

Moving on...

2. I'm madly in love with Ed! Yes, its taken me 5 years(2.5 really) but its been worth it. It actually took me a year to admit it to him, and technically, 2 more to commit. Its not that I didn't love him. I loved him too much, it scared the crap out of me...me, girl who is terrified of commitment. He is such an amazing guy. He is very considerate of me. He spoils me like no other. Some of the sweetest and most sincere compliments/comments slip from him, and its the cutest thing when he gets embarrassed when those thoughts slip. I'm genuinely happy with him. We do have our fights, but what couple doesn't? I can't wait for my dearest friends to meet him!

I have lots more to write and comment about but I'll save that for later. 

I'm sick again! It so sucks. I'm stuffy, runny, sneezy, and coughy. 

Not only am I all those things but I'm pms-ing. I'm also VERY bloated, irritated, and moody. 

I had a lovely bowl of chicken soup...real stuff...and I can't taste it. I can't taste anything right now. Do you know how much it sucks for someone to love food and can't taste a single thing.

Ugh, I feel so horrible. I just hope I'll all good by Friday. I definitely don't want to go to work sick.

Omg! Sometimes I would love to just sit in peace and have absolutely no noise. No static noise from all the tvs, or random beeps from the computers. 

It can all just be too fraying on my nerves. It all starts to irritate me and eventually just leave me in a bad mood.

Its times like that, I desperately need my own place.Somewhere I can just have every electronic thing off, lie down and just breathe. 

OH! I would love to spend a whole free afternoon curled up on a sofa, and read without interruptions. 

Just a little bit a heaven for me.
