Nobody likes you when you're 23...
It seems like I always start to write up posts and then something happens and I never end up finishing them and/or posting them.
As for RL, it's been kind of up and down lately. The BFF has been driving us all insane lately. He's always been a little irrational and hard to deal with in the sense that he gets upset over little things and actually worries about things like if you're going to spill something when you come over to the point where it will make him not have a good time and ruin his night. We've all learned to deal with this or ignore it and just go on. The last couple weeks or so things have gotten really bad. He's angry with his boyfriend for no reason or accusing him of things that didn't happen or did but taking them way out of proportion. It's like every little thing that happens that isn't the way he wants it means the world is ending.
None of us know what to do about it, because even if he was talking to us he wouldn't listen to when we say he's being irrational and completely ridiculous. None of us want to lose him; me, Ashley or his boyfriend Lance; but we're all at our wits end and he's making us all miserable just because he is. If he keeps acting this way he's going to end up pushing us so far away from him that we're not going to come back. He constantly complains about he has no money for food, but he doesn't pay most of his rent, any of utilities or any other expense, but buys $200 shoes like it's no thing or records for $60 off ebay.
He was supposed to come stay with me and Ashley this weekend because Lance's dad and brother were going to come and stay in their apartment. Eric didn't want to be there because he doesn't like them and they know it and he felt uncomfortable with them coming and staying. I wasn't exactly happy with this because: 1) he didn't even mention it to me, only Ashley. And I only found out about it because I overheard Ashley and Lance talking about it; and 2) our friend Eve and her BF Dan are coming in from CT and staying Saturday night. None of this would be a problem, he's just been acting insane and none of us want to be around him, especially when we're trying to have a good time. In the end Lance's dad and brother aren't coming because of some mysterious appointment that can't be missed. Personally I'm really happy about it. Now I can have a good time this weekend before I go home for the week.
I'm trying to ignore all of that insanity and focus on other things. Tomorrow we have to bring Davey to the vet to get fixed, but then it's HARRY POTTER at midnight. Saturday Eve and Dan are coming to stay and then Sunday we're going to the Brooklyn Bowl to see the McLovins play the song they wrote with a couple of the guys from Phish. And then I think we're going to go on a stoney cupcake tour of Brooklyn. Monday I go back to Connecticut for a dentist appointment and Thanksgiving.
I need to stop typing now. And do something productive. Like stare at my desktop, which makes me smile like a loon. :DDDDDD
- First some TV notes:
- Finally caught up on the last three episodes of Merlin. This series has really been boring me. I find myself skipping through episodes or being completely distracted during them. I'm hoping the final episodes will turn into something and bring me back, but at this point I'm really in it to keep up with fandom, which I still love, and for the boys.
- And I'll be honest...instead of actually watching Episode 10, I just read frantic_allonsy's recap. I don't like the Arthur/Gwen relationship at all. I have nothing against the canon of it. It's just that the way it's written doesn't really make any sense. I have no idea why those characters would ever want to be together. They have the least to do with each other out of anyone on the show, except maybe Merlin and Uther and even that makes more sense. Not to mention the lack of chemistry just makes their scenes painful and unwatchable. A whole episode of it was a bit more than I could take.
- FRINGE. Last week's episode was MINDBLOWING. At least for me. I love the mythology on this show and in this episode in particular. As much as I love our Olivia, I don't find the episodes in the alternate universe as compelling. I appreciate what the show is doing with the every other episode scenario, but that universe just doesn't work for me the way it seems to for others out there.
- For all I'm not a Castle fan, which is to say I don't actually like the show, this season seems to be a lot weaker. I usually can get through the episodes no problem. It's a distraction, but this season I'm finding it very hard to get through them at all. Just wondering what actual fans think of it.
- A couple weeks ago I spent my days re-watching episodes (okay seasons) of Roseanne on youtube. This week it's Wings. I kind of have this idea to do a where are they now? type of thing for those characters. Because I've always wondered.
- I am DYING for that Simon Amstell DVD to come out so I can get my hands on a rip of it. I'm pretty sure it will complete my life.
