unpacking is kind of like christmas...you get to unwrap all the things you packed in newspaper and if you have a bad short or long term memory, whichever applies, you don't remember what you wrapped up. so when you unwrap it, it's a gleeful surprise! -OR- unpacking is like passions and it makes me want to die.

haha, you thought i was done blogging for the day...you were wrong!
anyways, i felt the need to address something that i've been noticing and/or hearing about a lot lately. to all you guys out there, this is not to offend you or to bash you, but let me continue... why does it seem that in a relationship, whenever any kind of effort is needed to be put forth by you, warranted or otherwise, it becomes this big problem that you can't or won't deal with? and it's not like a situation where the girl asks you to rope the moon or something hard like that. it's something simple, like a kind gesture that falls in the "common courtesy" realm somewhere. this is what i don't understand: the simple, little things are sometimes what count the most. but the simple, little things seem to be what the guy has the most difficulty with. from knowing the guys that i know, the common answer to that query is usually "i didn't know you felt that way" or "i had no idea." uh, what? ok, i can understand and sympathize with the concept of not knowing what's going on sometimes. but i like to think that when it comes to something like a relationship, something that should be pretty important to you, you would have some sort of insight about your partner. and i know what you're thinking... "women are confusing;" "women always change their minds;" "women are so unpredictable," etc. yes, all this is true, but hey, we're women. get a clue. learn from the experiences you have with your partner, and maybe we wouldn't bitch so much about you. but hey, you're men. you don't understand us, we don't get you. it's what makes the world go 'round i suppose. but seriously guys, if you'd only take a step back sometimes, see a problem, do something about it, put a little effort forth, relationships could be so much easier on all of us.
as i said before, i'm not slamming men...i love men! this is just something i've been thinking about lately due to recent circumstances, so dont' get all hot and bothered and conclude that i'm saying women are better than men. i'm not. we're just smarter, that's all!! ;)

i was just thinking today about how lucky i am to have what i have and to love the people that i do. sometimes life just doesn't seem to give me a break, but in the grand scheme of it all, it's given me way more than it's taken (so far anyways). i feel very blessed for all the things my parents do for me and all the understanding that they give me now that i'm not the hellish high school teenager that i once was; i'm eternally grateful for my friends and all the merriment they bring me on a daily basis; i have a fantastic boyfriend who loves me and does so much for me... looking at all that makes me want to never pity myself or take anything for granted. obviously that's a lofty ideal that won't always work out, but i can at least try, right?? it's funny though, how in the midst of all that fortune, i can still feel so lost and so unmotivated. i dunno, maybe i haven't hit the peak in my life that will tell me exactly what i need to know in order to be worthwhile and give back to everyone who's ever given to me. ..... i just wanna take a nap. the SARS is making me tired. thanks alot jodi and angie;) or maybe it's the fact that i've been going out and drinking too much in the last couple of weeks. hmm, maybe. who wants to go out and drink tonite??! :)
