Is there anyone else out here that just gets sick and tired of listening to the poor me stories when they won't even take your advice, nor listen to what you have to say? My best friend lately has been having problems of I don't know what..with her boyfriend. She has been talking to me about stuff he's done for about a week that's bothered her...and you know as her best friend I listen to that stuff, but nothing I say makes her feel better...which makes me angry.
Now I'm completely at a loss for what to say to her. She and I (I guess) are on different levels with relationships. My boy and I will vocalize anything that bothers us when it does because we figure it's best to get it out there and talk it out.
My best friend bites her tongue. Any problem she's told me about has talked about how she's so scared to talk to him about silly problems because she's afraid he'll get mad and break it off. So now I'm out of stuff to say because I keep telling her to talk with him about it and she won't do it. So I'm angry now. I'm both frustrated and angry.
Call me crazy, but isn't it so much better when your significant other spouts out what's bothering them than just bottling it all up until one thing finally sets off an explosion?! I mean, maybe it's because my boyfriend is very talkative and hers isn't...but it seems stupid to be so quiet about stuff that's bothering you.
So that's what's been going on in my personal life. Me and the boy are doing great. He's extremely happy with school and planning on studying abroad in Germany. Me personally? I'd like to study abroad. They have another campus in London. I think it would be nice to actually see London tangibly than just you know..the pictures in books. Even so, I'd love to study English in ENGLAND. I mean, it only makes sense right? Bet that makes all you UK folk ecstatic huh? It won't be happening anytime soon though. It might be in a year or so. We'll see.
My job is currently in the works on changing. Our old assistant manager's last day was yesterday...which was a very emotional day for all of us at the PetsHotel because she was so enthusiastic and personable that it made even your worst days become nice and you'd be excited to work. This new assistant manager is a prick. Granted he's probably being tough because he doesn't know anyone yet and doesn't wanna come off as our best friend because he is someone we should respect. I will work for awhile at the one in Brea and then if I don't like it I will be asking to transfer to the Walnut location (which is where my old assistant manager is going so that she may be a manager). She said she would hire me if I transferred to her place. So yeah. I've got that going on in the back of my mind. The only thing that's bad about it is that Walnut is quite a drive from where I live..and I've gotta take that into consideration.
Anyway, lots of things going on in my life right now outside of videogames. Nothing too traumatic, but just little blips in a road that's causing me to trip and scrape myself.
