Wednesdays are emo (high, low, and everything in between)
First, the unadulterated fucking awesomeness part of today, which is entirely due to looking_spiffy. *flails* Dude. DUDE. I got mail! OMFG I canNOT believe you sent me that! As soon as I opened it I knew who it was from (who the fuck else would send me SKoMx2, right?!) and then, THEN I saw the note. Eeeeee! You should have heard me squeal. No joke. :D It was, well, really girly. *snickers* I'm keeping it forever. *covers you in kisses and LURVES* Thank you thank you thank you!
The low point is that my friend's bf broke up with her, which is made exponentially more problematic by the fact that she was living there. :-/ She's never been through a serious break-up before and obviously is a bit of a mess right now. She's at her mom's for the moment, and since she has to catch a ride into town with her mom she'll be way too early to work, so I'm going to meet up with her and take her for coffee (and bring kleenex). At 9 am. *winces* Oh, well. I'm currently feeling the urge to *strangle* him for the way he went about it. Grrrrr is all I'm going to say about that.
And then the all-over-the-place: I finally had a serious, rational (mostly) conversation with my mother and we cleared some air. I am actually feeling good on that front now, which is an excellent thing indeed. I don't know, maybe talking my friend through her tears for half an hour first settled me somehow, or made me more aware of the need for communication - perhaps it's just as simple as that. I know I'm not the best at communicating. I keep too many things to close to my chest. (Clearly, this is more of an in-person habit, lol. Although it applies online more than you'd think.) Anyway, the upshot is that we discussed things without either of us getting too horrifically upset and agreed on some changes on both sides. :-)
