Thursday, June 09, 2005So "The Talk" didn't happen tonight as planned.
Conservative Girl wanted to see She Loves Me at the Guthrie Theater since it was closing at the end of this week. Since I had the opportunity to get free tickets to it we went.
Unfortunately, the play didn't get done until 10:30 and she had to scurry home to check on her rabbit. I swear she's more worried about the bunny, than most people are about their kids. It's crazy.
So I'm going to be going to this wedding, and having to meet all of these so called friends of hers that she hasn't see or barely talked to since High School. I personally wouldn't call those friends. Talking maybe once or twice in 6 years isn't really a friend, it's just someone I knew in high school. But to each their own I guess.
The other thing that's going to piss me off is that CG shmucked a deer a couple weeks ago and her car is in the shop. Well, if it gets done Friday she'll want to leave Friday right away after work. Never mind I have and invite to go to a party and watch the local minor league baseball team, The Saints, play. She can't wait till Saturday morning to go. Nope. She's already going to pay 20% of 14 days worth of car rental, what's one more? I even offered to pay for it.
I should just tell her I don't want to go to the wedding since I really don't. I just don't feel like playing the asshole. Arg.
At least it's down to 75° in here today.

I have this problem in my personality that I'm finally aware of, but I don't know how to fix it. Sounds like you might do something similar. Even if someone is bothering me, I really don't like to be mean to them. So, I keep right on letting them bothering me... And it gets worse and worse and worse... And sooner or later, I can't take it anymore... And I unleash in a way that is too harsh. Then, I feel horrible about it. And if the person doesn't hate me for the outburst, I generally wind up getting taken advantage of even worse. (Once I actually had to fire a friend from a job where I was the supervisor. She is one of the few who actually never forgave me, but I'm kind of glad about it.) Anyway, what I've been thinking is that it would be a lot better if I were just honest up front and tried to say, "Look - I really feel infringed upon here." Now, knowing I should do it and actually doing it are two different things. Anyway, I guess I haven't offered any decent advice, but at least you know that you're not alone in feeling that way... Maybe....

nick - you're a lovable procrastinator - just like the rest of us.
And so, like the rest of us, be resigned enough to enjoy your inability to make real changes in your life and just think "well, at least I've got something to blog about."
