Where to begin . . .
I'm quite sure that in spite of the rain, this will be the best day ever! At 10:00am, after 6 years of torture, I will be free of braces on my teeth! On top of that, Casey get home tonight after being gone for a week. I am cooking her dinner, which consists of chicken cordon blue with rice pilaf and julianned carrots.
I really have a good feeling about this year. It's a fresh start, and I feel in control of my life, and my finances, not to mention i'm down 12 pounds! My relationship with my parents is great, and i'm not agrivated by my housemate so that stuff is going well also. I should be thankful for what I have and try not to take things for granted. If anyone sees me taking things for granted, I give you the full authority to bitchslap me. Now I just need to win the lottery!
In addition, I would just like to say that I know there are "Friends" that I have that often become fustrated with due to their lack of participation in my life. I acknowledge and respect that people have different level of activity that they require from their friends. However it does irk me when they call and demand to see me/hang out with me right then. Often I already have plans with people that actually answer when I call, and make time for me in return. Thus I have to turn said caller down at which time they say stuff that implies or makes me feel like i'm the one dropping the ball or a bad friend. In all honesty my first reaction is to politely ask said caller to go make vulgar love to themselves. However, I restrain myself from such things as they just wouldn't know or understand why i'm upset.
So here's my pledge:
"I promise to be more open and forward about where our friendship stands, I'm not going to sugar coat things, i'm just going to be honest."
"I promise to not be passive agressive and pissy toward you when we actually do hang out, because i'm pissed about the above situation."
"I promise that I will put upto 65% of the effort into the friendship, but after 65%, I will let you know where you stand."
This doesn't apply to any one specific person, more like bits and pieces from 5 or 6 people.
To my friends that would like me to call more often, so we can hang out more often, please, let me know! I need to know you want me to be a part of your life on a semi constant basis.
To my friends or people that I have offended or tresspassed against, please forgive me, I'm human. Not only is it possibly for me to make mistakes, but I am quite proficient at it. Lets talk about it, tell me how I make you feel.
To anyone that avoids me because they feel they have pissed me off or that I hate them, get over it! I'm not one to hold gridges. Besides, it's a new year, all is forgiven, but if you owe me money, you still need to pay! :) It's funny how often we misinterpret other peoples feeling about us.
I really don't know where all that stuff came from, but like I said: It's a new year and I'm going to strive to be a better person. I am going to work on being more open and forward. Most importantly i will focus on being a better friend (I know i'm friggen awesome as it is!)
Happy new year to everyone!
