Beef madness begins!
Kristi has moved to Tokyo to study for five months. So I've been a busy body and getting social with the people I know around here.
It's been pretty busy and eventful since I've last posted. Kristi's family came over and we had a lot of fun together, hanging out etc. I cooked breakfast and snacks for them, and they took me out to dinner on my birthday, and bought us chocolates!
It was pretty sad, the grandmothers were talking about Kristi's deceased father amongst themselves.
Last few weeks were crazy, Kristi was working on her finals, her friends wanted to throw a surprise party for her, then I had to take her shopping, laundry, then off the airport. I've been a zombie lately because Kristi and some people want to hang out late or needed help. Super sleep deprived.
I got really mad at roommate for being a weirdo-pervert and being lazy, so I basically screamed at him. He got up to punch me, so I pummeled him. I felt bad about it, but even though he threw the first punch he called the cops... The officer who looks like he was in charge told him, "You don't start a fight, get the losing end of it, and call the police..." Yeah... I hate my druggie lazy roommates. Drugs = laziness.
I miss home still. I miss my friends, and I miss hanging out in the bay area. I think of my friends often, and I count the day I can go home.
I think it's true for most couples that we argue about 1) money 2) respect/boundaries 3) semantics... I gave up on 1, we fight about 2 sometimes, but 3 even more... Kristi and I are totally oil and water. She's East-side, I represent da West-side! She's comes from a well to do family, and I not so much so. She's really outgoing and personable, but I can be but I'd rather be a recluse, etc, etc, etc. Honestly it kind of scares me that we're so different I think it's sort of a miracle that it works. I feel that Kristi tries more and more to make the relationship work. I get really pissed off at her when she barks orders to me like make her coffee etc when she's busy. I walk away then she figures it out, although she's a little pissed that I walked away. She almost always tries to shrug it off like it's no big deal, and I just remind her it's not. It's really irritating living with significant other who does not say please.
Another thing, Kristi sometimes does not realize I'm much older than her and I tired much easily. It's not to say I can't do stuff throughout the day, I just need to rest in between. I get really frustrated with her when we have to do stuff all day and all night and she gets mad at me when I want to just rest.
When Kristi's mom and sister came out here they commented on Kristi losing weight and they looked at me... I believe they were implying I wasn't feeding her, and I had to defend myself with the truth, Kristi wanted me to cook more healthier so that was the end of deep fried foods.
Cooking from scratch can really help save the bank account. A simple easy recipe:
red potatoes
garlic salt
spices
olive oil
cooking sheet
foil
vinegar (your choice) or lemon juice.
a plastic food bag (like zip-lock)
cheese
Put foil then oil on sheet, slice potatoes, carpet bomb with salt/spices, dabble a little vinegar for flavor, bake at 400 and go away for 30 min. Pretty easy and makes people happy. Good snack to store. BTW for some reason russet potatoes don't work as well.
Since with Kristi here, I'm operatically vegetarian, stir-frying is pretty easy. Heat up oil hot, put in favorite vegetables, spices/crushed or minced garlic, and the secret is 2 table spoons of cornstarch. Now with Kristi gone, I have been eating mammals like they're going out of fashion :D
God it's so sad, I've become a housewife. On the plus side, Kristi seems much happier, and she's not prone to depression like she used to be. I would be much more happier if I didn't have lazy and loud roommates, and lived back in the bay. You just can't beat the food, places, and conversations.
