It was raining last night/this morning and it was about 1:15am when Jaime got up to let Tom in because it was taking him forever to open the door and the dog was barking enough to wake everyone up inside...or maybe that was earlier and we just woke up because it was hot and we were parched. Either way we woke up just to hear my phone vibrating ( Read more... )

JUST SAY "NO. THANK YOU" babarambob May 6 2009, 13:38:22 UTC

Drinking & Partying are over-rated ~ and it's amazing how many major social activities are centered around them: Super Bowl, New Years Eve, Weddings? "Sobriety is it's own reward," they say. Some "reward", right? Basically drinking alcohol makes people dumber than they usually are. And hanging around sober people can be as much fun as going to a teacher's convention. Smoking weed is more problematic. It makes people giggle then stuff themselves with carbohydrates. Life is a mystery.

life is overrated. but drinking and partying just gets old, especially when you live in a small town and the four years of high school on and off that's all there is to do with friends.

i was sick of drinking and smoking before i was 6 months into my 19th year.

Ah, Katey. I love you.

right now. right now i am not in a depressed mood. but keep in mind, the sun is out and i am drinking pink lemonade. also i am full of security at the moment and reading what i wrote above makes me smile as well as your relationship because they...they don't mirror one another, but it's like a reflection in a puddle. not identical because of all the wind and the ripples on the water, but very similar to one another.

we are happy, god damnit. we should revel in it and not let the negative side of our personalities ruin it.

I find that when I'm happy it's very easy and almost enticing to find a way to ruin it. Within the context of relationships, as you know because we've talked about it many times, I think we both try to find things wrong with them, things to worry about, and things to even hold against the other person. While I'm more satisfied and content with my life than I ever have been right now, I find that whole "happiness" thing to be very easy to take for granted and completely lose sight of.

Which is why this situation is special, because I've been good so far. Lol.

so we're getting married next weekend, may 17th. we're doing a double ceremony with his brother, derik, and his fiancé nicole. it's going to be down in wales, mass. we're all wicked wicked excited. :]

i'm a little less nervous/anxious now that it's actually planned to happen.

I DO believe a statement like that is in the ballpark of being controlling, etc. What if one day you decide that you would like to go out and get smashed? It happens, whatever.

How would he treat you then. Putting too many don'ts on a relationship is a sign that the whole thing is a don't.

drinking every once and a while isn't really the problem, it would be if i decided to go out and get drunk and party every weekend. it's definitely not that i don't drink anything at all anymore, because i do and i've drank with jaime. it's that he doesn't want to be with someone who hasn't grown out of partying being drunk thursday-sunday, and nor would i want to date someone who hasn't either.
