Watching Burn Notice while at work isn't necessarily the best idea, because I really want to scream, "FI, WHY ARE YOU BEING A FUCKING IDIOT! DON'T DO THAT! MICHAEL CAN'T --- ARRRGH I TOLD YOU SO, YOU FUCKTARD!"
But I'm at work.
So I can't.
Something about how it'd be considered obscene.
But I'm sure as hell thinking it!
so.... I definitely accidentally fell asleep at work for just over an hour. :/ Oops. That really sucks, but I guess that tells you that documentary was borrrrrrrriiiiing.
I can't focus on my homework right now cos I just helped a family trick their daughter into coming into the main office for this side of the campus dorms so they can surprise her. And I have to see her face, and the little brother is hiding by the printer, and the parents are all like, hiding behind the blinds...
And she just walked in, and is like, "OH MY GOSH.... OH MY GOSH!" and is hugging her brother.... it's awesome. It makes me miss my family so much! I'm so glad they could do that. That's so wonderful. <3
fuck
me, when I don't know how to say no, so I help other people, but not myself
I just need a moment to rant about how much it frustrates me to have heard nothing from my best friend for a long time. He's on his mission, serving in Philadelphia, and I'm super proud of him. I don't think I have to be Mormon, let alone religious (Atheist, yup), to be proud of him doing service in what he believes in. I'm glad that he feels as though he has found his calling, and is doing all the things he should do, and helping people and making their lives the better for him being in it. But... it gets so hard for me... I send him letters (well, mainly cards, to brighten up his day and be silly, but I write a lot in them) at least once a month. Maybe a little more often. I'm busy as ever, what with two jobs and grad school, and before that, moving across an ocean on my own, and before that, working full time and volunteering at a school... But I write. I always write. He's got to have at least 30 cards/letters from me... I have 3. And I know - I KNOW- I have at least those three. I should be grateful. And I AM. I'm so grateful. But I miss my best friend. And I hear NOTHING from him. And I am constantly arguing with myself about how I should just keep writing him, because my friend, who is also Mormon, told me that the missionaries are very busy, and don't often have spare time.
NEITHER DO I! I have such a full plate, it's stressing me out. Getting a small letter would mean the world. I'm busy, and I can find the time. Why can't he? I hate the feeling, the gnawing doubt that gets stronger, when I think that maybe... our relationship isn't all that important. Not in the face of the LDS Church. And that makes me feel like an awful person, because I hardly ever feel like I'm truly important in comparison to pretty much anything. I don't, and that's awful, I know, but I just don't. Our relationship was one where I felt as though maybe I was pretty damn important.... He promised to write. I bought him a stationary kit and stamps as his going away present.... It just doesn't help that I've been struggling lately with being depressed and feeling worthless at/with/in a lot of things... and I just want my best friend... and I feel like he's never there. I just really miss him, okay?
I think the barista didn't make my drink with soy, and other things about today that have just made me more depressed.
