Afternoon

[tarotgal]

Did some laundry (much needed) and went to see X2 with boyfriend. Very enjoyable experience. Kurt was adorable on the big screen, and I loved how he smiled after Kitty was indirectly mentioned at the end *G* heehee
And I cried when Logan held Cyclops... awwwwwww Man. The buddy-buddy thing has always been a weakness of mine :-)
And Peter Wingfield got 7 lines (recount)! Well, if you count "Sir!" as a line. heehee And I do.

Anyway, yelled at boyfriend on way home... I need to not do that. I feel really bad. Think it might be stress about my workload tonight. And the fact that I was asking him for help driving and he snapped at me saying I'd been driving for years and shouldn't need help. Course I f*cking hate driving, so that probably put me over the edge. I dunno. Then he wants me to donate blood with him tomorrow (yeah, less than a day's notice) and kinda got pissed when I said probably not. I know they really need it, but I'm HORRIBLE at it. The people there always get frustrated with me. Plus I'd have to get up at, like 10am and that's just a few hours after bedtime. And I've got SO much work to do tonight. Ug. Can you tell I'm trying to justify this to myself? And doing a poor job. A decent afternoon. Not a good evening. I just want to go back to sleep, but I haven't eaten yet today (boyfriend called off dinner) so I'm going to go do the dishes and make pasta and fake meatballs cuz I need the protein BADLY right now.

You know, it's really easy to get along with people like yourself, but it shows a lot more character when you get along with someone different. I dunno when I'm finally going to learn that once and for all.

Oh well. Hockey's on tonight.

I know what you mean!

I can relate entirely with your comment about how easy it is to get along with someone who basically never disagrees with you about anything! Yes, I know the world would be completely boring if we all thought alike, but much more harmonious, don't you think? I am a single mom, and recently one of my friends said she had come to this new respect for me and what I do b/c her husband had broken his leg and was unable to help her as usual around the house. I didn't comment at the time, but later I thought to myself "Girl, I admire YOU for being able to put up with another adult and all his wants and needs and complaints etc. on a daily basis!" Me - I never have to compromise or give in or sacrifice in my home life - I get everything my way! And when people ask me if I will ever get re-married, my joking reply is "Sure, as soon as I find someone who likes everything the same way I do!" Which, of course, will never happen. But when I was married, I often thought "This relationship stuff should NOT be this difficult!". So..for what it's worth, I understand! Good luck to you!

Exactly... I'm not very good at sharing my time and coordinating with people, let alone doing that every second of the day. I don't think I'd be very good at living with someone(did ok with college roommates but there's still a level of distance there) let alone marrying them and sharing everything! Thanks for the reassurance, it's much appreciated even if boyfriend and I are fine again. I am impressed at people who can compromise and be happy, though. Takes a lot more effort and love than I have in me right now, that's for sure.

And a single mom? Wow, more power to you! I come from one of those pseudo-nuclear households, but I could really see myself as a single mom easier than a married one for many of these reasons. I think really the most important thing about life is realizing what you need and want to live and achieving that, however difficult it might seem at first. Course that's easier said than done... I have no job, so I probably shouldn't be talking... LOL. Good on you! ANd thanks for the kind words :-)
