happy labor day
even though the only thing i look forward to on this holiday is not having to work and not having classes for two days. the concert show that i went to with my mom and ashley the other nighr was awesome. we saw natalie mcmaster, a violinist from nova scotia. and i don't think i've ever seen so much talent in one person. she could play the violin like no other, sing, AND dance (irish/tap). i'm glad i went, i really enjoyed it. but i did feel bad afterwards, as i do whenever i go to see a musician, because i haven't touched my violin in about a year and i see how i'm wasting my talent :( i'll have to try my best to MAKE time to start playing again.
i spent the whole day at the state fair yesterday with ashley, ashley laret (i'll call her laret to avoid confusion), and ashley's boyfriend james. i'm glad laret went, otherwise i would feel like a third wheel with ashley and james being together. and here comes the rant....
you know what i can't stand? when girls become so dependent on their boyfriends and completely snuff off their friends. well, ashley didn't completely do that but it seems like she can't do ANYTHING without james. everytime she and i plan to go do something since i've been back from vacation, the first thing she always says is "i think james has that night off!" and everything has been 'james this' and 'james that' since i've been back. does she even consider that i, who is single, really wants to hear about that non-stop? don't get me wrong, i'm happy for her if she can FINALLY be happy. but when she rubs that happiness she has in my nose like that, yes, i do feel jealous and shoved aside.
and here's what further pisses me off. when brandon and i were dating and we would see each other at the building we had classes in together, i'd go up and give him a kiss when ashley was there. she got upset about that and griped to me and jen about how 'wrong' that was to do that in a place like and inf ront of her. excuse me, but since when do i need her permission to kiss my boyfriend? and NOW she's doing that same thing she complained about several months ago with james in front of me. the fact that she kisses him in front of me doesn't bother me, it's the fact that she had the nerve to make a big deal out of it when i was with brandon and now she turns around and does it right back.
and am i the only one who thinks that sleeping with someone after only two weeks of seeing each other is too soon?? ashley has never really had a 'real boyfriend', someone who she's gone out with more than a couple of times (they always dump her because she does nothing but talk about her problems on dates). but now that she has this guy james who SEEMS to really care about her, she's acting like it's the greatest thing in the world for her; and it probably is. they spend EVERY night together, sleep with each other, and every night they get off of work, they go out together.
this is just a prediction in my sense, but i don't think it will last. it may for a while but i have a feeling that ashley's desperate latch on james will start to bother him after a while. or maybe not, i could be completely wrong. and my opinion on james? he was realy nice and i liked him the first time i met him. but at the fair yesterday? he was kind of...creepy. he's 24 and he'll just radomly say stuff that holds no interest whatsoever and do some weird things. laret and i both agreed on that yesterday. and while laret was looking at some stuff in a booth, he came up and grabbed her ass! she asked me to let ashley know about that when i get a chance to talk to her alone. and another thing he did that pissed me off is that he had on a sweater and a coat yesterday (it was kind of chilly) and ashley had on a short sleeved shirt. she asked james to use his jacket, which he let her use...for a whole 20 minutes and then took it back even though she was still cold! what a jerk!
so yeah, i'm not so sure about this guy. we'll see what happens. i really don't think this relationship will last and ashley will just end up getting hurt AGAIN, which she can't handle. I know that when/if they break up, she won't be able to handle it. i bought a cool alaska girls shirt at the fair, though. it's black and red and says 'feel the heat of alaska girls.' mwahahaha.
i was going to go to the gym today but when is teppe doutside, it was scorching out. it's probably in the 80s and i really don't think i could do an adequate work-out in this heat. i normally go in the evening when it's cooler but the gym is only open until 7:00 tonight and i'm going to a movie with david tonight. so i'll go tot he gym tomorrow, since i don't have classes. i do have to go into work though. and i finally get paid tomorrow because heather will be back form her vacation. i HATE it when the people in charge of payroll decide to go on a vacation right when payroll is due and we have to wait another whole week to be paid...
well, since i have a free afternoon i'll probably go to do some more homework/reading. i have to get started on that criminal investigation project that's due next week, too...
