2007 Redux

Did I accomplish my New Year’s Resolutions this year, you ask?

Well…  Sort of:

• I visited some family
• Visited old friends
• stopped drinking sody-pop
• I didn’t get sick for the most part
• I learned how to build Web sites (sort of)
• I hugged 163 different people, only 33 of which took their hugs back. 
• I called or wrote to dozens of old friends
• I traveled to Mexico, but not Canada or Australia.
• I walked across a mountain
• I remembered over 20 dreams
• I was pretty terrible in responding to e-mails

What did you accomplish?

Would you tell your friend if you didn’t like his/her partner?

The 20somethings question for this fortnight is:  Would you tell you friend if you didn’t like his/her partner? (As you can see from the title)


My tentative answer is: I would if I thought it would be funny.  Otherwise, no.  While I have nothing against him/hers, I don’t consider any to be worthy partners for my friend.

…  I’m going to leave friend singular because it’s sadder that way.


Frankly, I have never had any success in affecting any relationship in any way I’ve wanted to.  I’ve prolonged a few I wanted to end and ended a few in ways I didn’t expect, but never in the right combination.  So now I stay away from other people’s relationships altogether.  My smart friends know better than to take my advice without checking it out with other people first.  So, unless there is some humor to be gained from another person’s plight, or my answer just doesn’t matter, I wouldn’t say anything.

Heck, I don’t have to deal with the person, why should I get involved?

Deep, like a lobster

Today, I broke my glasses and wrote a poem.  I was going to post it, but then I tore it up, because life sucks and nobody loves me.

Also, that cute girl at school I like looked at me, then— if you can even believe it— she looked away.  She probably hates me.

I tried killing myself then by swallowing pills, but the effect kept wearing off by the time I took the next recommended dose.  I CAN”T DO ANYTHING WRITE!!

Ugh.  I’m so emo. No, no I’m not.  I’m a realist.  It’s LIFE that’s emo.  All the happy people just can’t tell, though, because they live in their own little bubble.  That’s a good metaphor: happy people.

I hope you got some value out of this post, because if not, I’m going to close the comments, shut down the Internet and cry into my pillow.  Then you’ll see what’s so happy!
