Charmed tonight

tarotgalCharmed was veeeery interesting tonight. Certainly worth waiting 2 weeks for. It was Charmed meets a mix of Sleepy Hollow and Harry Potter. Not only did we have the headless horseman running loose through the whole episode, but we had a school of magic, where the kids learn how to safely use their powers and attend classes on levitation and advanced magic. Hrmmmmm... WONDER where they came up with that one? It actually had a more X-Men vibe to me than Hogwarts... well, up until the time when I realized all the teachers were wearing black robes. Yup. LOL Okay, so that's maybe a traditional thing as well, when you think of witches and warlocks, but I did get a kick out of the similarities.
Still, it was worth the wait to FINALLY find out about Chris. *deep sigh of relief* He's been bugging the HELL out of me since he arrived. I had three theories going from the beginning about him, the strongest being that he was actually Wyatt. But that thwory was killed a while ago for some reason I now can't remember. Anyway, it was a huge relief to find out one of my other theories was correct (though I had dicounted it because Leo and Piper broke up. I suppose I just love the two of them too much and was still sort of in denial... and looks like next episode's going to help change that) *sigh* Such a relief. Only had to wait half a season to figure out who the heck a character is. LOL
At least that's better than John Doe where I spent the whole entire season trying to figure it out, and then it was cancelled before it could explain it to us. So now I'll never know. SO frustrating.
Anyway... I haven't been very inspired all day today. Actually, horribly depressed is a much better word. I'd like to strangle my boyfriend as well, inconsiderate git! To make myself feel better, I was trying to force my fics for a while there, but it just caused James to get pissy towards Peter, so I gave up. Then I watched a lovely special on the animal planet chanel about the wolf within a dog, talking about all the traits of dogs that came from wolves and I got all inspired to write a Remus fic... which is flowing and making me feel better for the time being. At least, until my anger towards boyfriend can wear off or I can stop having mini panic attacks. Joy oh joy. That should teach me not to worry so much... something always happens to make me feel better if I wait long enough. Just wish my eyes didn't hurt so much from the crying. Ah well. I can type with my eyes closed well enough, yep! :-) Off to write a little!

What a cutie *G*
Thank you!! And thanks for your previous e-mail-once I have re-hydrated myself to the point where I can open my eyes and pound out a proper reply, I will get right back to you on it. But thank you much for it!! :-)

And, do you have AIM? Someone convinced me to d/l it so I can chat with all the Americans who seem to use only that :o)

Date: 2004-02-09 06:09 am (UTC)I am right at the start of a new relationship and hope to God that I can keep my head in this...because once it's gone and I really, really like the guy...it stinks. Besides which I also have an ex husband who still thinks he owns me, and *that* really burns me up!
But, just know that I will be thinking of you as you go through this stuff with Boyfriend. I know it's hard. Hang in there...there's a saying that with men, you need to understand them a lot and love them a little. With women, you have to not try to understand them at all, and love them a lot. I think it's a pretty good plan. I understand my new boyfriend. He's a big kid, he takes nothing seriously, and will not take this relationship seriously either. He will stay in it as long as it's fun and then we'll be done. He is gorgeous and he likes me to look and smell good too...anything that turns him on is good for the relationship in his view. He is not shallow though...when I had unexpected surgery the other day, he rushed over to take care of me for two straight days...and I am lucky because he eats ice cream right out of the container with me and the kids, sitting on the living room floor. He is a very simple creature and I need to just remember not to get too complicated on him. I don't love him a little though - I like him. That's as far as I can go for now.
Maybe thinking through what you understand about your boyfriend will help. It never hurts to think about where someone else is coming from. However, that doesn't mean that you have to take their side or give up your opinions and rights in the relationship. In the end, you have to do what is best for YOU, and not for him. That is something I truly believe. Until you get married, and then everything changes. But we're not there yet, right?
If I am way out of line writing this, since I really don't know your situation that well, please forgive me. I just hate to see other girls get hurt by guys - it's the been-there, done-that thing.

That's a VERY good plan. Especially since during my conversation with boyfriend tonight he said "I really don't understand you. I've dated you three times as long as anyone else, and I barely understand you" Of course, as he's never said "I love you" either, I dunno that he's following that advice. But, yeah, there's a whole lot of me to understand- and most of it not the best. So that's a good plan.
As for men... I think I do try to understand them- and usually I avoid getting mad (well, I'm a non confrontational person, so that helps) until I can reason things out and understand things from their point of view. I *really* think it's important to understand things from another person's point of view when angry with them about something. Especially guys. They're so... ug... different. It's easy for me to forget they don't think like I do and get mad at them for that, when that's not their fault. Boyfriend likes to jokingly insult me. A LOT. I keep trying to explain that I'm a girl, not a guy, and I don't like to be insulted (especially in public, in front of friends) But he does that with all his guy friends. So I've learned to be patient and explain it to him afterwards over and over again.
Thank you so much for your helpful comments though. And they say women are hard to understand. Ha! :-) You're right, too. Too bad they're so damn irresistable! And too bad I wasn't a lesbian... that would help matters. As for your guy... awwwwww! Wish I could get mine to go *near* ice cream. He sounds really nice. And typical- yes, I've dated lots of guys like that... the excitement of the sexy, new relationship is really good until it starts to fade. I hope for your sake it works out, though! *hugs*
My boyfriend's the opposite when it comes to me, though. He doesn't care how I look/smell, he'll still want me in bed. Which I get self conscious about. Ever since I read the Outlander series I've thought about how incredible it would be a guy who liked when I didn't shave all the time or still want me even when I smell after working out for an hour. Now that I have one, it squicks me when he's all horny and I'm sweaty and icky and don't feel the least bit sexy. LOL So... yeah... he shouldn't try to understand me. I can barely understand parts of myself!
