Back to work today after a nice long weekend. Friday I left for my parents house and spent the weekend over there in NY. Monday I went to Boston with my friend Dan to meet with the grad director at BU. All in all it was a good weekend. However, I'm getting really overwhelmed with people who attempt to suck the life out of you...

You are just too nice. That's why everyone seems to want to take advantage of you. Just say no. It's sound simplistic but is not. It's obvious to me that you are a very resorceful woman but for some reason some of your friends/family-members/ex-family-members think that they can use you as they need or please them.

I could fill the page with obnoxious advise but I won't. Just start saying no more often. Welcome to the talented people Hell! Our hell is to have to say no to the abusive people until your skin get thicker and they are so afraid to ask than they just stop doing so.

Another strategy is to ask something very abusive in return for every inconsiderate thing you are ask to do. What is that do you want me to do for you? Sure, but could you cut my toe nails now? Clean my boots? Bath my dog? You choose.

Yipes! Milli Vanilli? That makes me want to drink right now!! biggrin

I went food shopping with Jen today at the East Longmeadow Big Y and she kept screaming the commercial jingle as we walked through the aisles, so I feel that since it is in MY head, you too must suffer! tongue

Come home, come home! To Big Y!
Come home, come on hooooommmme.... to Big Y (to Big Y!)
Come on hooooo oooooo oooome
To your neighborhood market, Big Y!


ps: It's Mad Monday: $6.00 pizza from the food court. I hope my doctor (I scheduled both my dentist and yearly physical on the same day, I'm so efficient) doesn't give me a cholesterol test puke biggrin

Does anyone out there ever do favors for their friends (i.e. non-paid jobs) and non feel good about doing it? Well my friend Dan lives with his friend Chris and Chris's mother. The mother has decided to start a business making Grillz, those teeth jewelry things that all the rappers seem to have nowadays. Essentially, her entire livelihood is based on the success of manufacturing...

i think i'm figuring it out...couldn't they have given us warning? a cheat sheet? at least told us what would be on the test so we could study (oops - delirium - had a midterm the other day)...uggh I am too sick to figure this out today! But, I will send notes if I learn anything! kiss
bonfirecollapse:
yeah what they said about finding your friends journals.

i played around on this version of the site for a couple days while they were going through the beta testing. but i haven't been back so i've had to poke around again and try and re-learn where everything is. now if i could only find where i left the keys.

A Less Hateful Update From Gamma

* Today starts summer classes (yippee!) which run until
August 23rd. Guess I won't have much of a summer.
I've never taken a summer course at UMass before so
this should be a lovely treat...hopefully it's better than the
classes I've had to suffer through during the regular
semester!

* Walter bought an '87 truck yesterday, much to my...

crap i just had a big response written and i lost it. oh well let's try again.

that de la soul album is awesome. and i found it at turn it up for only $8.
i saw your new truck the other night when i was riding home. i was about to honk as i was flying by on my bike but i realized that walter was just getting in/out of it and he probably would have been confused as to why i was honking.
as for the dog digging. try buying chicken wire and attaching it along the bottom of the fence (and if you can) bury it straight down. or if not buryng it attach it and place it along the ground so he can't dig.

Sorry all, I have been super busy with end of the semester hell (which includes papers, setting up my proposal for my honors thesis, and reading A LOT).

Weird things have been going on amongst my friends lately: I found out that one of my friends is dating someone who is A LOT younger than he is...and the rest of us aren't sure how to...

The doctor didn't say how long until I can skate again but I'm going to ask next week when I go. I'm having alot of problems with swelling and brusing so right now I can't even get a shoe on. frown
faeriecatofdoom:
That guy was such an idiot! Yeah it sucks not being able to get around... the swelling went down a bit this morning so thats good. Things got worse last night but not dealing with my ankle. on my way home from quincy a guy hit me in front of the toll booths on the mass pike and took off. there is alot more details in my two latest posts. But Jusitn has been a huge help... with both my ankle and what happened last night. I was on the phone with him last night when the car hit me and he calmed me down enough to make the calls I needed to to report the accident. He also cleaned most of our room last night so that I can get around easier. smile
