The May LIW Small Talk Thread

[princesss]

Hahaha, I like the way you think. We''re not losers, staying in on a Saturday night. We''re conserving our partying energy for nights that are really worth it.

Hmmmm...hosting. That should be fun. Something for the Ultimate people, and something for work people. I just need to make friends. I''ll find some place to volunteer or something, too. I just need to *do* it. I just...it''s SO hard for me to find a friend I actually bond with. So I''ll be friends with people for a few months, something will drive me nuts and I need new friends. I don''t even need good friends. I just need people to hang out with! That''s not asking for too much, right?

LoL. I can totally relate in every way. And nope, it''s not asking for too much. I wonder if a lot of people feel that it''s hard for them to find friends that they can truly bond and have a long lasting friendship with? B/c I definitely feel like it''s hard for me, too. But then again, I think it might just be an issue within myself... not wanting to let anyone get to know the real me for the fear of them not liking me. Hmm... I don''t know. I know I''m a good person so what do I really have to lose?! ---NOTHING--- I need to keep telling myself that!

 

[princesss]

I just have very little tolerance for certain qualities (like serious insecurity) and strong views on things, and I''m not afraid to open my mouth (even though it usually ends up with my foot firmly in it). But there are sweet girls at work, and I know there''s a party going on tomorrow that I was invited to, I just need an address. I was just the total loser kid for most of my childhood so I''m always worried that people are specifically trying to exclude me from things. I''m totally paranoid about it. I''m super outgoing and I''ll talk to everybody, I''m just shy about taking the next step and trying to hang out again, you know? And I ended up in this small, insular group of girls here for a while and I just can''t handle them anymore.

On my birthday last year I told myself I wasn''t going to be lonely on my birthday again here. And my birthday is Thursday and I''m lonely as ever. LAME. For my birthday I''m getting myself some friends. Period.

Aww, well you always have us group of ladies here to share your birthday with you! Remember that! But I''m sure you''ll make friends, just remember you''ve got nothing to lose and EVERYTHING to gain.

Well, I''m off to bed... I''m super sleepy from this gloomy weather we''ve had today. I hope you have a great night!

Oh, and thank you so much for keeping me company today! I enjoyed talking to you!!

No worries, I was in by myself last night too!

 

[princesss]

Proof that this is all made up in my head:

My friend who is hosting the cookout just texted me saying, "So, I definitely sent directions to the wrong ________! Oops. Address is: 123 main st. anywhere, usa. Can''t wait to see you!"

Yaaaaay! Clothes are in the washer, and I''m getting excited.

Oh

I have sweat pouring down my body. Jillian Michaels is a mean lady, and the 30 day shred is just 20 minutes of torture. Pure, pure torture.

Yes, yes, yes. Level Two made me hate the plank position so much that when it shows up in my yoga workouts, I skip those movements.

I ordered that about 3 weeks ago... it''s still sitting there in it''s wrapper... maybe one day I''ll get the urge to get my butt kicked by Jillian... haha. I heard she''s a real #^&^$*! haha.

I may have to give this Jillian Michaels a try. How long have you been at it? Is it good stuff?

Today was day 1.

If you consider pouring down sweat, cursing, and wanting to die everytime the perky, skinny little @#$*&@$(*@#$@# says, "No breaks! That''s not how we get those abs!" good stuff, then yes, it''s very good stuff.

 

[star sparkle]

I''m so bad, I''m such a horrible procrastinator. I need to be studying, but I''m quite good at finding other distractions to keep me occupied.

UGH!

Good for you!

After the last 5.5 months or so I''m used to the pouring down sweat and wanting to die because of insane workouts, yet I''ve recently slacked off a bit and have gained like 5 pounds. I need to hit it hard again when I get home in 2 weeks.

 

[bubbly1126]

I''m feeling super stressed and down in the dumps.

I just want to go on my cruise!

 

[star sparkle]

Aww, what''s wrong?

I want to go on your cruise too!

I want to go on your cruise too!

I''m just super stressed with work... to paint a clearer picture: My manager left a month and half ago. She didn''t have an assistant (as she was supposed to) and no one wanted the position. I had only been there a year but I stepped up and took on the role (even though I had no clue what I was doing) until they found another Manager to bring in. Once the new manager is in, I''ll be their assistant. Well yeah, it''s a month and a half later and still no new manager. They haven''t offered me more money or anything and I feel like they are dragging their feet... to make me even more stressed, they haven''t even mentioned my vacation! And it''s only 2 weeks away! I KNOW they know, but I KNOW them and that they''ll wait for the very last second to even bring it up to me. UGH.

And I''m stressed that I only have 2 more weeks and then I''ll be an engaged woman and it still seems so darn far away!!! (I know, I shouldn''t be complaining... at least it''s soon! But everything else is making me more anxious!)

I just want to go on my cruise and leave real life for 9 days. haha.

p.s. I can tuck you away in my luggage. No one will ever know.

 

[star sparkle]

Ugh, work stress is the worst.

I''m totally stressed as well. Things should be getting better, which for the most part they are, but in some ways they''re getting worse. In less than 2 weeks, BF and I are going to be living 3000 miles apart and I''m having a hard time dealing with it. We are currently 300 miles apart, which really sucks too, but at least now we are able to see each other every couple of weeks. Soon we won''t be able to do that.

Aww, I''m sorry! Compared to that, my stress doesn''t seem so bad. I would be totally heartbroken if FF and I had to live so far apart.

How long will you be apart?

A long time, who knows how long. We''re in a pretty weird situation...I live in CA and he lives in FL, and we met in GA. I''m currently in GA and he''s back in FL, and in less than two weeks I will be going home to CA. He plans on moving to CA to be with me, but it''s going to be awhile because he has a lot of stuff to get in order first. He also has to wait job-wise, because our field isn''t one where you can just pick up and move in the blink of an eye. We expect that it''s going to be about a year before he makes it to CA for good.

Sigh.

 

[bubbly1126]

Aww. Well I''m sure you two will get through it. Remember, absence makes the heart grow fonder!

 

[Squirrly]

it does make the heart grow fonder and it makes those times you do get to see each other that much more special and worthy of sleepless nights beforehand getting everything just perfect and being so excited to finally see him that you''ll stay up all night getting those last minute details in so when he gets there and holds you... you''ll be asleep in 5 minutes

not that i do that to my guy at all

(i maintain that he''s just that good of a pillow)
on the bright side, once it gets cold you can be all bundled up and as hairy as you want

and if you surprise him with a letter every now and then he''ll be as giddy as a school girl. and that''s always entertaining.

 

[jcarlylew]

good morning everyone! I hope ya''ll had a good weekend! Mine was so busy, i need a weekend to recupe from my weekend

only 25 days, and 14 hours till i go on vacation

 

[jcarlylew]

[audball]

I''m in, good morning JCar! How was your weekend?
