First of all, I need to control my words. . . however, my mom has a really bad habit of just getting whatever out of my mouth at the worst times. I don’t want our roommates to think that I am not grateful for staying here, I am. I just want our own place. . . where it is just Tom and I. . . I’m very anti-social. I have extremely high anxiety, and right now I am just trying to make the best out of an okay situation.
Secondly, I feel like I am creating wedges between the roommates, and I don’t want that at all. . . it’s mostly over food and kitchen issues. How hard is it not to touch something tied in a bag with my name on it? How hard is it to by two one dollar dish soaps per month? (I mean the kitchen rules are simple, if it is not marked it’s community food. You need to clean up after yourself, and make sure you turn the oven/stove off when you are through.)
Thirdly I am fighting myself. . . I wanted my mom and uncle to do things on their own which they are doing. However they want to go back to a place that they cannot afford, and it really doesn’t have that many opportunities for them. (I guess. . .you can teach a man to fish, but you can’t tell them which fish to eat.)
Fourthly, I am sick of cable companies giving you a “good” year and then screwing you up the next year. Why can’t it just be simple. . . you want this channel or this set of channel it will be so much per day or month and let us pick our own TV? Why can’t TV be free anymore? (I can go on so many different directions on this subject. The main thing that gets on my nerves is that it would have costed me twice as much to keep DirecTV, than to pay to have it turned off. . . I was one of the few that paid every month on time, and I still got fined for moving when others let their bills lapse over months and they got the fee waved, what the hell?)
The fifth thing I need to get off my chest. . . please do not tell me to just “get over it” when I am sick. I have kidney and liver issues thank you to bad genetics. (I had both grandparents on my mother’s side died with failing kidney and livers, which had started earlier in their lives.) There are days where I have overdone, and I feel like crap. I appoligize now because on those days, I do feel like crap. Sometimes I just need an Aleve, and a nap, and I feel better. Other days, it just has to work itself out. (However I usually try to avoid people, because with my crankiness, it makes things sound worst than what they really are.) I am prone to UTI’s and they just tear my system up. . . aches, pains, and sometimes fevers. They even cause my ankles to swell and hurt.
The sixth thing, I love the fact that my fiancé is getting to writing. I love how he has a billion ideas that he wants to get out. However, I do not have the time to write a million words for each of his ideas that he is just going to completely overhaul anyways. I will write for him what I can, when I can, that is all I can promise.
The seventh thing is my fiancé, Tom, and I decided we are tying the knot on October 16th. At least I hope so. . . we love each other, but we agreed we are going more because we know that it was what the government wants us to do. Married couples have more benefits, and they get treated better when trying to find a home etc. We have been together eight years now. . . wow. We have been through fights, illnesses, break ups, make-ups, movie night, deaths, births (relatives and friends), holidays, family issues, RPG sessions, Video game and board game nights etc. I do have a slight fear that once we sign that paper we will change and like instantly hate each other. I have seen so many people go into marriage happy, but out of it miserable. I just hope that we don’t even look at the fact that we signed a paper. . . I think we got dress up to eat some cake.
Issue eight. . . We are not sure if we want to invite family to this “tying of the knot,” or not. I’ve been having nightmares of family taking over the damn thing. . . they force us to do it in a church, with food we cannot stand, a stale cake, and a dress that I cannot breath in. We aren’t even looking at it as a wedding, we are looking at it as something we have to do, so the damn government and professional will look at us seriously. To be honest, it’s like going in and getting a new ID. . . you go in fill out paper work, pay some cost, sign your first child away and walk out.
Issue nine. . . I am just too easily distracted, whether it is by watching True Blood, collecting pictures for my muses’ inspiration, or being on the Internet. I am need to focus more on my writings.
