What is a friend anyway?
What is a friend, you ask?
friend n. a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts.
Is a friend someone who only talks to you when they will be left out of the loop or when they need something from you? Is a friend someone who talks about you behind your back or only feels jealousy about the things you have instead of being happy for you? Is a friend someone who doesn't even call to wish you a happy birthday, or instant message, or send a card, etc.?
I am utterly sick and tired of people who waste my time. I'm done doing for others who do not reciprocate. It's pretty sad when a friend that I haven't even seen in probably half a year would call and sing me happy birthday on the phone, but a friend that I have seen recently doesn't even acknowledge it. I'm tired of wasting my time, and I feel a downsizing is in order.
You know what?
That won't happen.
Do you want to know why?
Because I'm the type of person who never says anything, and I'm always the person who lets other people walk all over them. I've gotten better at standing up for myself, but it's a slow process. So, the downsizing won't happen, BUT things will change, and I'm not going to let some people get away with walking all over me when they should be the ones picking me up.
In other news, I am very saddened because a good friend who is a new friend from Wal-Mart is moving away for the summer. Her teaching job didn't come through, so she is going to stay with her parents for the summer. *sigh* I haven't got to see her in a while, but she did call me for my birthday.
Russell and I went shopping for some beach supplies (aka plenty of junk food and towels) today. Still have a few last minute things to buy when we get there so they don't go bad...like stuff that needs to stay cold. It's coming up soooo soon, but now I still have to put up with Wal-Mart for 3 days. It's been hard lately, but hopefully an 8 day break will make all the difference. I can't wait!!!
Gunther got to go outside for the first time today. Well, that would be where we actually take him out - not him running past me out the door. We got him a little harness and such. He was scared at first, but then he started eating my flowers (*scowl*) and running around in the grass. He had a good time, so it's going to become a regular around here. We're going to walk the cat instead of walking a dog because let's face it, we're not normal people...hehehe.
OHH...we also started netflix, and it is crazy cool. You make a queue list, and they just keep on sending 'em. Awesome.
