2 entries in 2 days? this'll never happen again!
I have 2 main rants today (only 2?). The first is a bit silly so i'll start with it and hopefully anyone reading this will have forgotten it by the time they get to the end of the entry. Okay! Lozren and i have been discussing the possibility of us becoming room-mates in the not-too-distant future (she wants to move out of home by 2nd semester next year (i'd prefer end of next year but it's not that big a deal)) and it's got me thinking. I'm really quite afraid of moving out of home and away from my parents. I mean i've lived my whole life in the same house, i've never been in need of anything really, and my parents did a really good job of raising me and my sister (i'm not bragging or anything, i mean they always made us feel loved). Apart from the occasional argument with my parents, i get along with them really well, and now that i have a car and don't hafta be home at certain times or whatever, this house has become really nice to always come back to. Most of my friends, i think, are normal and don't have this problem (though i've never been "normal", i mean pulling out your hair when you're bored isn't exactly normal is it) and i worry that i'm going to have issues when i do move out. I'm such a nostalgic person and i hang on to things like there's no tomorrow, i've always been like that (which i'm sure contributed to my ridiculous bouts of homesickness that didn't go away until about year 9 or 10). I suppose i can't really do anything about it though, i mean it's not for another 9 or 10 months so hopefully i'll have figured out some way to deal with it by then. Not a very promising ending but you never know.
The other thing i want to rant about is a tad more present. I had lunch with Lisa today and as always we talked about her boyfriend Rob. Being honest here, i have never liked Rob. She started going out with him right after her first rebound from Remlin (long and icky relationship) and she never really seemed to like him herself, she kept saying that it wasn't going to last very long and every time she talked to me she would have a new story of Rob being immature and overreacting about something. But then uni went back and i didn't see her very often for a long time, and i suppose the months just rolled on and now she says she loves him and doesn't want to break up with him. This is even though he says such charming things along the lines of "i don't like anything about you, but i like your essence and that's what makes you who you are". Mm. Not a compliment. And i also worry that he's bringing her down, she has a tendency towards low self-esteem and i have a really bad feeling (though no proof) that he might be encouraging her to think that every fight they have is her fault. But see the problem with all this is that i don't know Rob that well so i'm probably just judging based on the few things that i've heard about him over the months. I dano. But anyway she told me they nearly broke up last week, they had a fight and he was unnecessarily nasty to her for a few days. She asked me what i thought she should do and i told her not very subtly that if i were her i would break up with him. I don't think she was very impressed, and looking back on it now i think i could perhaps have used a bit more tact and not pushed the issue so much. Anyway i smsd her just now telling her pretty much what i just said here so hopefully she'll understand that i'm just really worried about her. Oh and the other thing: Lisa dyed her hair brown (she's naturally dark blonde) a few years ago, before that she had been skanky-blonde, as in the kind of blonde one associates with Jessica Simpson. Now Rob wants her to go back to blonde. Is it really just about the hair colour? Maybe this is a case of me reading too much into things.
Anyway this is a huge post so i'm gonna end it here and head off to bed. Work tomorrow, ugh.
chau!
