Verrrrrrrrry long post ahead
I was just thinking......I need to update more. I've gotten pretty bad about posting journals lately, but hopefully I can start updating regularly again.
So, Happy belated Mother's Day to all the Mothers on my f-list! My family went out to eat with my Mom and had a pretty good time just being together. Of course, this outing was preceded by one of our famous insane fights about nothing that get blown out of proportion, but that's neither here nor there. My family is so strange LOL! We can seriously be fighting with each other one minute and the next be happy as can be. It's because we're a very close-knit group. I've had friends actually tell me that our family's too close........not so. We just love each other, and have learned through some pretty hard-knocks that there are very few people in this world you can truly count on, and we back each other up 100%. We don't always get along perfectly, but we get over it fairly quick.......well, most of us anyways. My dad is sort of a grudge-holder. The first time my sister and I moved out and got an apartment, he didn't speak to us for 3 months.......a very long 3 months. We tried to resolve the issue, but there's one sure trait my family members all share, and that's pigheadedness. One day, though, things were just okay again. We helped them move and he helped us get our dog, so that made it all better LOL! We don't really talk and resolve our issues, we sort of just let them be over.
Wow, that just kept on going, didn't it? I don't know where it came from, as that was not what I was going to post about, but anyways.....also, yesterday my Mom got a brand new car! A 2007 Nissan Sentra, and she is so excited! She has really been in need of a car for awhile now, and she truly deserves this, so I'm really happy for her. Here's a picture of us when I was a little girl:
Here's another thing that's been on my mind.......the subject of my love life. Ok, so I firmly believe that God is going to send me the right person when it's time, and I'm trying to pray about it and be content with it, but why does everyone have to keep bringing it up?! Every time it's the same thing......you're too picky, Megan, or you have a wall up, Megan. I just don't agree with this! I am fully open to the possibility of meeting someone, it just never seems to happen. I'm not the kind of girl that guys just naturally gravitate to. I'm the kind of girl that a guy has to get to know, and then to like. My sister tried to set me up with this guy who liked her first!!!! NOO!! I do not want her sloppy seconds! She is way prettier than me, and any guy who would like her is sure not to want to take a second glance at me. I'm not picky.....I don't think this makes me picky.
In regards to this "wall" I have up........I'm just a naturally shy person. It took me years to break out of my shell, and this only occurred after I got into doing plays and performing on stage, but that girl still lives inside me. When I get to know someone, I can't be shut up, but put me next to a stranger, and I revert.....very quickly. Lots of people in my family find nothing wrong with conversing with total strangers.......I just can't do it. And it mortifies me when they do it. It has taken me a long time to get to where I am now. They don't recognize that I do the best that I can.
Another problem is that I really don't have any place to meet guys. I don't go out to clubs or bars, or any kind of party scene. My work is filled with women and men who are either gay, married, or old. My church is a very small church, and all the males there are either related to me or old. And I think we've established that the only type of guys I meet at our concerts are old people.......because that is our target audience (southern gospel does not draw the young crowd). What should I do? Someone even had the nerve to suggest match.com......excuse me, I do not need Dr. Phil to find me a husband. YIKES!
I know everyone means well, but I feel like Bridget Jones........the single girl in a sea of "smug marrieds". *sigh*
Now that I've ranted and raved, I guess I should close this thing out. Before I go, I will give a few TV show and movie thoughts:
Heroes--the freaking best show on television. The stuff with Hiro and his dad was amazing tonight, and I love how everyone has converged on this city. Linderman's death was so kick-butt! DL must live. The montage at the end was so perfect, and then Sylar's creepy self "Boom"........next week's season finale is going to be amazing!
LOST--has been blowing my mind lately. The Jacob stuff was so creepy, and Ben is a psychopath. I love Juliet.....I don't care if she's good or bad, I just frickin' love her. One of the most interesting characters to come along on that show. I almost care more about her than the regular Losties.
Grey's Anatomy--has been ticking me off royally. I'm so sick of the Meredith/Derek yo-yo......I want off this train. I can't ride it anymore, I'm getting seasick. George/Izzie was weird at first, but I'm slowly warming up to it. The elevator kiss was smokin' hot. I feel bad for Callie, cause I love her so. Christina and Burke need to get it together. I know everyone had different reactions to the spin-off episode, but I really loved it. I can't wait for the show, and I will definitely be watching.....if only for Tim Daly, whom I have loved for years, and is still frickin' fine (and needs to be on my screen since The Nine got cancelled :()
American Idol--has been b-o-r-i-n-g this year. I really don't care who wins. Isn't that sad? Of course I will tune in, but it will be who it is, and I won't be voting.
Supernatural--rocks my socks. Truly one of the best shows that nobody's watching. It has all the elements that I love, and hello......super hot boys. Sammy must live! Dean is my man......back off, women!
Spiderman 3--sucked. Period. I loved Tobey in the first two movies, but he just stunk it up in this one. If I saw any more tears roll down his face, I was going to scream. And one thing I can't get over.......he hit her. I don't care if it was Evil Spidey.......he hit her. Harry was the best thing about the movie, and then they marred James Franco's lovely face, and then had a crappy ending for him. *sigh* I just hated it. I couldn't help it.
And that's all I've got people. This is what happens when you bottle stuff up forever. Please comment me if you love me. I hope you all have some wonderful days ahead of you! LOVE!
