BLAH. Humbug.
I am kind of down today, which sucks because I took the week off of work, and vacation should be making me happy! Plus cool fall weather!
But the last three jobs I've applied for, that I've been seriously qualified for, have sent me rejection notices. And that sucks! Not even a phone interview! This next round of applications, I'm going to have my mom review my resume. I'm thinking there's a problem with it. Because really, not even a phone interview, for work I'm already doing? DEPRESSING.
I'll keep telling myself they're hiring internal candidates and only posting publicly because they have to. Le sigh.
This one is so hard for me, because I've always thought that there are different types of best friends in a person's life.
First there is Beck. She will always be first, because what other rank can you assign someone who's been your friend for 20 years? Not exaggerating, we met in the fourth grade, and I invited her to my 10th birthday party at Little Caesar's (like Chuck E. Cheese, but with Little Caesar's pizza).
Beck and I have always understood one another, and we've had a pretty unique relationship. We don't talk every day, we might go weeks without talking. But when we do, and we always do, it's as if we just stopped talking an hour ago. There's nothing I can't talk to her about. Life is taking both of us in different directions, with different people, but between us there's always that connection that keep us coming back.
Then there's Dan. I've always had issue with the person you're in love with also being your best friend, because I think you tend to be too close to be able to give that objectivity needed by a best friend. Maybe I'm not saying this right. What I mean is that with a best friend, there should be a level at which the relationship stops - that level being sex, the jealousy associated with love, the shared plans for a future together. If you don't have that with your best friend, then you can afford to take a step back and help when your friend runs into problems. You can't really take a step back from the person you're in love with.
Regardless, I would say Dan is as close to me as a best friend would be, except that we love each other on a closer level, and with the added benefits of seeing each other naked.
Then there's G. She and I met recently but really hit it off. I think we've found in each other what we both wanted in a friend - someone to listen, someone who has your back, and someone to have fun with. We're pretty close now. I don't know if this will be one of those friendships that lasts. However, among my friends who in my life now, she's the best.
So there are three categories of best friend here - life-long best friend, lover and best friend, and present-time best friend.
I still feel blah and I was hoping to have more energy than this to start off my vacation. However, I also really really want to start writing again, which is welcome and making me happy. I think if I can get my list accomplished, I can do that later today.
LIST OF THINGS FOR TODAY:
-Grocery shopping
-Shoe shopping (actually needed, my shoes are falling apart)
-Vacuuming, cleaning counters, and mopping floors
But first, I think I'm going to go and see if my boobs are more interesting than Halo, before Dan has to go to work.
