so, this could shape up to be one of those "pity me" type blogs, and I really don't want to do that. especially since i'm at the realtor's office right now and would rather not start crying. so, i'll start shpieling, but once i start getting misty, i'm throwing in a bunch of quizzes to get my mind off things.
You Are Somewhat Honest
You do tend to tell the truth a lot
But you also stretch the truth on occasion
You figure a little lie isn't a big deal
As long as it doesn't hurt anyone too much!
How Honest Are You?
I went to look at apartments in sparta last weekend. I found one that would be absolutely perfect. new floors, new counters in the kitchen, new windows, ALL new bathroom, and you can still smell the fresh paint. the only couple scary things is that i'd be the only one in an 8 family building...and the neighborhood is kinda scary. well...it's run-down, as far as i can tell, but kinda, so is sparta itself. according to some people who actually live in sparta, there's drug trafficking and stuff that goes down in that neighborhood.
i went and drove around, sat and watched in parking lots, things like that, to get a feel for the area myself. i saw a lot of kids, and they all had shoes on. there's no broken glass anywhere, no blood stains on the concrete. I saw one "thug" during my "stake-out", rapping along to whatever was spinning in his CD player...F this N that. oh boy, here we go. he gets closer and I see that he's wearing Spongebob pajama pants. Seriously...if the thugs in this neighborhood wear spongebob, i will be their queen.
my next plan of action is to call the police station in sparta and ask just how bad that neighborhood is. cause seriously...it's sparta...it's smaller than troy. can it really be as scary as these people are making it out to be?

i haven't heard from bobby in over a week. ever since his friend billy came back from iraq, he's totally put me off to the side. and i'm really trying not to be a nagging kind of person. billy was over there for close to 3 years, so i don't want to tell bobby that he "can't go out with his friends." I know better than that. however, i think i deserve some attention, too. even if it was a quick phone call to say he's going out again but still, ya know, gives a damn about me.

How Much Have You Changed in 10 Years?
plus, his family and non-billy friends seem absolutely wonderful, and i'm not just writing that because 3 of them have added me as friends on myspace. so far i've been invited to 2 family functions...and not by bobby. his sisters invited me to their daughter/niece's birthday party, and now to a family BBQ. I really want to go to this BBQ since I didn't go to the party because bobby wasn't there and i just don't think it's right to go if i don't know ANYONE there. however, at this BBQ, bobby is sure to be there, so i would actually get to talk to him, but what if he ends up telling me he doesn't want to be with me, and that's why he hasn't called or anything.

i just feel like i've been duped into thinking i've found a really nice guy yet again. i don't understand what i do wrong. why do things go so well for a while, then all of a sudden it's like someone hits a switch and POOF marla is back to having no one.
You Are 52% Scary
You're a pretty normal, nice girl... but you definitely have your scary moments.
As long as you acknowledge them and apologize, you'll probably keep your guy around.
Do You Scare Off Men?
You Should Consider Taking a Break!
So maybe this guy isn't break up material...
But you've had enough of him, for now.
Tell him you want a break - or keep it to yourself.
Either way, spend some time away from this guy -
And see if absence makes *your* heart grow fonder.
Should You Break Up With Him?
i dunno. maybe i should count my losses and forget about it. maybe i should give him a "call me or it's over" message. oh wait...how would he get it? he doesn't check myspace anymore, apparently, and i don't think he's checked e-mail in a while, either. dang it. it's not supposed to be this hard. or this nerve-wracking. and i'm really getting quite tired of feeling this crappy.
