Wait...WHAT!?

So here is a sample of the drama that I face randomly, and this little piece really had me upset yesterday to be perfectly honest. I have know this guy for almost 10 years, we do have a past, and for about three years never really talked to one another. About a year and a half ago, we started talking again, and sadly old feelings came up...again. Did I mention that we dated years ago? Oh, and he was my first boyfriend? Good times. The last month and a half or so, we had been hanging out quite a bit, and yes, I started to really like him again. Honestly, from where I am standing, what's not to like? He is funny, smart, makes me happy, gets my sense of humor, we have a lot of the same likes and dislikes, and overall he seemed to like me for just being me. Well, how wrong can one person be?

Yesterday, I met up with him because I wanted to tell him that I liked him, and see where we would go from there. However, I got this as an answer...According to him, we would never work in the long run because, "We do have the same morals and values, but we don't have the same tastes and interests". I kid you not, he used Starwars as an example of something that he liked, that I didn't like. Ummm...first of all, I haven't seen the movies, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't be open to watching them OR giving them a chance. Secondly, how dare he make assumptions and just assume that I am not open to new things??? AND most importantly, yes, we don't like all of the same things, but I guess he wants to be with an exact replica of himself...hope he likes being single because he will not meet someone who is exactly like him in every way, shape, or form.

What really makes me laugh is how little stock he places in morals and values. One would think that those two concepts would be vastly more important than liking all of the same things. But I guess I am just soo wrong.

Just what he said yesterday bugged me so much that I wish I had said something snarky to him, but I kept quiet because I was shocked, and knew I would start crying...and his ass doesn't deserve to see me upset...and I have my pride. I think what hurts the most, is that I just lost a friend that I have known for such a long time. But I suppose putting that much stock into his friendship is just plain stupid since he hardly made the effort to even be my friend.

I will admit, I cried yesterday. I cried because someone I have known for 10 years obviously knows NOTHING about me, and doesn't realize how stupid he sounds. To be honest, me and him aren't 100 percent alike, but what is the fun of being completely the same? So all I have to say to him is this, have fun trying to find your clone, because that shit isn't going to happen.

So I leave this entry, because I need to try to sleep, with this quote from Fitzwilliam Darcy. I think in this instance, he aptly describes how I feel about this guy that I know....

"I perfectly comprehend your feelings, and have now only to be 
ashamed of what my own have been. Forgive me for having taken
 up so much of your time, and accept my best wishes for your 
health and happiness." -Mr. Darcy to Elizabeth Bennet

To pierce, or not to pierce, that is the question.

As the title of this blog suggests, I am pondering the question of whether or not I should run out to pierce another part of my body. As of now, I have six piercings in each ear, one in my nose, and one in my tongue. However, I am debating if I should pierce my eyebrow next. I must say, piercings are quite addicting!

Here is the thing, in May of 2011, I graduated from college with my B.A. in English, which is fantastic...but I have been unable to find a job, which has become quite depressing I must say. I had been waiting to get my nose pierced because I was worried I would find a "respectable" job that would frown upon such things. BUT since I have yet to find a job, I went out in mid-December I pierced my nose. Then I decided that wasn't enough, and in January I went out and got my tongue pierced. Now I am hankering to pierce something else, I would have gotten my nipples pierced, but I heard that hurts a lot...so now I am hesitant. So I have decided to settle for my right eyebrow. Now it is a matter of if I want to go out and spend $25.00 for said piercing.

Having hardly any money has become so depressing.... :/

Forgotten

As horrible as this sounds, I only remember I have this blog when I want to try to win a book...otherwise, it has become a distant memory. To be frank, I had to read through my old posts because I could not remember what I had previously posted.

I decided to even update my blog because I designed it in 2008, and it is now 2012...so I think a change was in order.

About Me

On a journey to learn more about myself, and trying to do what makes me happy. Life isn't turning out how I had planned, but now I am making a new plan and trying to enjoy the ride in the process. I am trying to be the best that I can be, and trying to learn how to enjoy life instead of constantly comparing myself to others and being angry about things I cannot change.
