Crap.
Why in the hell can't life go flawless for a short enough period of time (that's longer than a few days) and there be no drama? Well, let me tell you, it's impossible. Damn it all. Personal life is getting in the way of school, and it happens to effect grades. Let me tell you about it, because that's why these things exist.
My best friend Shelly broke up with her boyfriend, on her birthday. She found out he cheated on her yet again and kicked him out that very morning. So, I was up comforting and cosoling and all of that wonderous required best-friend stuff, and ended up being up for 32 hours. I took her down to her family's place because they were celebrating her birthday, and I didn't want her to ride the train alone. On the ride down there, me and Shelly almost died by being the end on a 4 chain collision. Some moron thought it would be a good idea to get confused at an interchange on the freeway, cut all the way across a 4-lane, and then just stop in the middle of the freeway. This was a good lot of breaking, and thank goodness we were fine, and there was no damage. I can't say the same for the people who ran into the guy. Finally we get to her parent's place, and this point, I've been up way past my bedtime, and am unable to take a nap because it was loud. The drive home was fun, I almost fell asleep at the wheel several times, and played a fun little road game Shelly taught me. Finally I get some sleep, only to be deprived yet again.
Shelly called me the next day, because she had a breakdown at work, so I had Nick go and get her because I was too groggy to drive. Naturally, I couldn't go back to sleep because I was worried about her, and her manager actually called us. So, we hang out, trying to drive all of her pain away with episodes of Friends and Whose Line, but naturally, she kept randomly breaking down into tears, in which best-friend mode kicked in. It's really hard to talk someone through their hardships. Especially since they've been in the same routine so long, that they forgot what it was like all alone. 2 years down the drain because he can't keep it in his pants. The hardest part is convincing them that they don't need their ex, and that it's the loneliness talking. Not a fun thing to hear "I miss him, I want him back..." such a hard processing that is, because the logical one in the scenario wants to scream "that's the stupidest thing I ever heard!" but we can only talk lowly and say "well, even if he did come back to you, would you want him? Could you ever trust him again? It seems he doesn't give a shit enough to have the balls to not lie to you, even though you're broken up..."
*sigh*I skipped class today, to deal with this, she needed rest, and a friend. Considering I'm pretty much all she has now. I informed my teachers that it was a family emergency, and they're very understanding. I hope that she can find that one guy out there that's good to her, because she's been nothing but loyal to her other boyfriends. Actually, I've got my sights set on her friend Nick, whom she gets along with very well, and who is very nice to her, he'd make a nice mate, I think. I just hope everything gets better for her.
On a side note: I'm still on the hunt for batteries for my camera. I should break down and buy more rechargeables...maybe I'll do that today :P
