So Blah and Bitchy
I am feeling so blah and bitchy (if you didn't figure that out from the title). I went camping with C and R last weekend. The people behind us seemed to love 5:30 am, every morning. So I have not slept later than 6:30 since I don't even know. I set my alarm for work Monday morning and was so tired that I didn't turn it on. Oops.
Since it has been cold and raining here, I figured that after work today I had three options. My requirement was to be a no human contact night. Hard to do when you live with three other people and bro's gf who is at the house quite a bit. Blissfully no one was home when I got here. Since we don't have a pool or a hot tub (and no human contact was a requirement) I scratched my first two options. The third was a plain straight up bath. Upstairs I go. I run the bath, throw some peppermint oil and lavender bubble bath in, and go put on my Duffy cd and grab a book. All good things. I climb into the bath and immediately feel immensely relieved and relaxed. That feeling lasted five minutes when I realized that the tub was really not filling up too well. Turns out that the drain doesn't actually plug. So there went that idea.
Every couple of months I have an exceptionally bitchy time. Normally I keep my snide comments to myself (or post them) and turn on my iPod to keep myself from speaking. Today I succeeded in doing one of the most bitchy things to A that I have ever done. Without speaking. She has a habit (while at work) of putting people on hold (after one ring) when I am about to answer the phone. So she does close to the same thing today and instead of me calmly waiting for her to put the phone down, I reach up and grab it right off of her hear and start talking to the customer. If looks could kill, I'm certain A would have fried me on the spot.
Highlights of the day were the long flirting texts with N and J. N's was the best. I now have him picturing me in some interesting outfits. Which he will of course pick out since he his spending his long weekend Sunday taking A, Chi, and I (all dressed in our little skirts) to Dennys (classy like) for breakfast and then shopping. Poor N, he'll be ready to kill us by the end of the day. If only the bitchiness would die before then.

Men: Can't Live With Em, Can't Live Without Em!
So myself and a couple of my sisters have recently had some men troubles. A probably (ok definitely) had more than Chi or I have. Mine is the classic example of guys not doing anything. I flat out say "I'm single, let's go out." during a conversation. We flirt constantly, he was going to ask for my number but I wasn't there. So I asked for his phone and put my number in it. This is all far more forward than I normally am (see Old Fashioned Quirks). He still has not called or done anything (besides saying that we should go out and several hours worth of flirting). It is at the point where even my boss said today "Fuck, just go jump him in the parking lot. I'm Goddamn sick of watching you two dance around each other." He asks if I have plans for tonight I say no and move closer. Nothing is happening! Grrrr. Driving me nuts! How much more obvious could I be? Any tips?
When I told Chi all of this earlier tonight, she asked when I began dating her boyfriend. This was the main reason for their "break" last week. He had a five day long business trip so she asked if he would call her. His words, "Well that's pretty expensive." And of course that took him about five minutes to get out. Ok, AH, let me give you some advice. When your gf asks if you are going to call her, "that's expensive." is pretty much the worst possible thing you could have said. Even a simple "no" would be slightly more advisable. My whole point with this is that he should know her well enough to know that his response would really hurt her. Chi is the girl who wants her bf to call her when he goes away, wants the romance. S and I decided that we would be like, yeah that's true, text me then. But that's us, we aren't really as, uh, (sorry Chi) clingy as Chi is. A but c'est la vie. They are together and apartment hunting yet again.
Now A and N. That was the biggest relationship issue this week. A and N have been together for nearly ten years (high school sweethearts) and have been living together for about four or five years. They had decided to get married this year. When N got a new car (and a couple other toys) and A had no ring or anything else she became doubtful of the relationship. On top of that she felt as though she had lost that connection with N. So she did a lot of stupid things (sorry A, I understand why you didn't tell me all of this to begin with). Like using a guy at work to make N jealous. She put two of their condoms in her purse when she was supposed to go out with dude from work. So Monday they talk, they both cry, she feels better, he is physically sick. Tuesday she tells him about her attempts of jealousy. He accepts this, tells her that he knew, that's why he didn't do anything about it. And then N dropped the bomb that he was going to buy her a ring and had even talked to his mom about it a couple days before. Wednesday N tells her that they are ok, but that there is one piece of the puzzle missing. Ah the condoms. So A freaks, drags them out of her purse and shows him that both are still there and that she would never consider cheating, she forgot, and didn't think he noticed.
So everything is back as it should be. If only W and I could get on track here.

Old Fashioned Quirks
I have a number of what most of my friends and family calls my old fashion quirks. My cell phone is a phone/address book. Therefore a carry a beautiful pale green leather notebook and a pen in my purse. I don't use any computer systems for an actual address book. I have one. I purchased it about two years ago. It is grey and full of beautiful black and white photos of Paris. I actually print off documents and have two major filing systems (and 3 large filing containers) throughout my office. I still love my VCR (who needs TIVO?). I still have (and have printed) photographs around my house (including several scrapbooks and go old fashioned photo albums). I still have my old 35mm SLR camera. I love film. I still have (and use regularly) my CD player (in the bedroom, living room, car and pretty much everywhere). On that note I love Cd's. I still make them (using iTunes), and buy the actual disc from stores such as HMV. I prefer reading the newspaper (shock actual paper) every morning compared to scanning news websites. I can't stand audio books. Come on people pick up a book and read it, chances are (if it's a good story) you will love it! Even when books become scanning a computer screen I will still have, own, and purchase books (even hardcover). What OFQ's do you have?
