Drama here, drama there, drama everywhere

So my cousin is back to being the drama queen of the lower 48.  She sent me a rather nasty email last night full of passive aggressive statements and I’m just so tired of her behavior.  I want to extend grace and love but I don’t want to be treated like crap by her anymore.

I saw her kids yesterday and that was great. The 3 year old is still the cutest thing ever and he loved seeing me and was holding my hand and was just so excited to be hanging out.  I only saw them because my cousin was out of town and her nanny invited me over. We came over to my place and went swimming ,which the kids LOVED. It was nice to have no drama surrounding the day. Until I got the email last night.

My roommate and her boyfriend are back to having sleepovers. And talking to each other in baby voices. Please hold while I vomit. I mean, c’mon. She’s 26 and talks to him like one would talk to a newborn infant.

So I have decided to give notice tomorrow. Which I’m so excited about!!! I’m not going to get caught up in the fear or worry of what the month will bring. It’s out of my hands at this point and I will go where God directs me to go. I know based on my past experiences that it can only get better from here on out.

So that’s the drama here. Still haven’t talked to my so called friends in Seattle. Which is fine by me.

Oh and I can’t go outside very much because the smoke is so bad that its like a house across the street is burning down. The fires need to stop!!

Until I turn 30. Oh my God. Seriously. This is NOT what I thought my life was going to be like. Something had better change soon.

I’m pretty sure I’m going to give my notice on the 1st and either move home or move out. Still not sure what to do. Ugh.

Back to smogland

August 28, 2009 at 11:01 am | In Life | 6 Comments

So I arrived yesterday back to LA. The flight was early and I barely slept but made up for that last night when I got almost 12 hours sleep. I’ve just been so tired lately and I know it’s PMS and emotional stuff.

I have to say, I’m not thrilled to be back. The smog, traffic, intense heat (103 yesterday) and roommate are all things I wasn’t looking forward to dealing with again.  I went to my volunteer meeting last night and found out the committee I’m on that I thought was about one thing is about an entirely different thing.  They’re both good and important ways of helping people but I was looking foward to the one that was advertised and what I thought  I was doing. Oh well. I may not be on the committee for very long anyways.

I didn’t want to make any decisions yesterday due to lack of sleep and being emotional after leaving but today, so far, isn’t much better. I pretty much have to get my roommate notice on Tuesday (the 1st) and will either be moving back or moving out. I think that it’s time to do either. She was okay yesterday and I still like the building and location of where I live, but I don’t want to deal with her anymore really. Like this morning, I turned down the a/c a bit because I was hot, and she comes downstairs and turns it right back up.

Anyways, this is just a random outpouring of my thoughts on this last Friday morning in August. More to come later.

Someone just tell me what to do already!

Ok, I’ve been debating about moving home for over a month and I’m going CRAZY. I cannot make a decision. Last night I met up with some friends and toured some neighborhoods in Seattle that I really liked and could see myself living in.  It was good to see my friends E and S. E and I used to be really good friends but kinda drifted apart after she met her boyfriend and this crazy girl who in E’s own word monopolized her and didn’t want her to be friends with anyone else. I think that if I move back, we would be friends again. S and I have been friends for years and he’s a cool guy. No one that I could be in a relationship with, but a good guy friend.

So, someone. Please tell me what to do. Option 1: stay in LA, try to find my own apartment, worry about my parents, keep looking for a job and have good friends, church and other activities ,and have the exciting city of LA at my fingertips.  Option 2: move home to help care for my parents, start over with friends, church and activities, deal with the rainy weather, potentially live at home for an unspecified amount of time and maybe miss LA a lot.

Be honest!! And please comment. I need unbiased opinions please!!!

Crappy friends

August 25, 2009 at 12:18 pm | In Life, Random | 1 Comment

So last night my friend J called. The one whose bachelorette party was more important to her than anything anybody else was going through.

She was quite rude on the phone and we ended up arguing. She made some really nasty comments and I hung up on her. I’m not going to be talked to like that. And I didn’t say anything mean to her. In fact, I repeatedly said I didn’t want to argue with her and she wouldn’t let it go. After that, I was so upset and decided that I need to stop letting people treat me like crap. I always just let things go because I’m such a people pleaser and don’t want to upset anyone. But this time, I decided not to be like that.  I sent her a couple texts telling her how I felt. Of course, she was vicious in her replies. This is a very unhappy woman who is making a major mistake marrying a coke addict and alcoholic. And she had the nerve to tell me that I was unhappy. Um, okay. I’m so done with her. She is a toxic person and her actions over the last few months have made it apparant to numerous people that she is probably addicted to drugs. She is no longer a friend of mine.

So, another friend gone here. Which is fine. Of the several people I emailed yesterday about meeting up today, only one person is coming. It just goes to show me that if I move back here, I will have to treat it like I just moved here and it’s a brand new city. Which is a lot to deal with.  I’m not sure I really want to go through that whole process again, especially with a set group of friends in LA already.

But I’m SOOO worried about my parents’ healthand I know they won’t be here forever. So do I just suck it up and move back? And possibly be stuck living at home going crazy for several months? Do I give my roommate notice and hope that something happens by October 1st? These are questions that I’m on my knees praying for the answer to because I’m tired of the uncertainty.

Can’t think of anything clever

I can’t think of anything clever to title this post. Most of my posts recently are a mish-mash of my thoughts and events. This won’t be any different.

Saturday I saw the Time Traveler’s Wife. I only cried once. I thought the adaptation of the book was done fairly well. And I think Rachel McAdams is a seriously underrated actress. Eric Bana too. They were both excellent in my opinion.

That night was my friend J’s bachelorette party. She kept harassing me all week on whether or not I was going. I told her I didn’t know and it depended on my mom. I finally had to be a bit rude and ask her to stop asking me because she asked me four times in two days. Annoying much? So my friend G and I went. It was okay. She was actually kinda rude to me but there were a few old acquaintances there that I was glad to see. The group decided to go to a well known gay club and G and I didn’t feel like going. So on a whim, we headed downtown to our old haunt, a crazy club. At first it was kinda of a novelty, returning to our old stomping grounds. This is the place we used to go every weekend. Every weekend. And we used to have a grand old time. Crazy stories from that place. But after about 5 minutes, I realized I’m too old for that kind of place. I got bumped into, drinks split on me, nasty guys trying to grasp me into dancing, etc. So after about 30 minutes, I finally convinced G to leave. She would have stayed until closing, but I just couldn’t take it any longer. Ugh.

Yesterday was low key. My brother is being a total asshole. He came over Saturday night and as usual, turned into a 12 year old jerk and was so inconsiderate to me that I got mad and we got into a fight. He just pisses me off so badly. So yesterday they were supposed to come over for dinner and he cancelled. My mom is so upset. He treats my parents so rudely and most often, only contacts them for money or to complain about something his wife has done.

So really, the ONLY reason I would move back here is for my parents. My friends have showed their true colors. I haven’t found a job and I don’t know about the weather here. I’m freezing. 70 is almost too cold for me now! But I feel major responsibility to help take care of my parents. Is that enough to move back? I don’t know. I just want a job and a man already. Grr.

Tomorrow I’m going to drive around Seattle and check out neighborhoods that I would be interested in living in. And then I’m meeting ONE friend out of a number of people I emailed for happy hour. See what I mean? No one responds. People here are LAME!!!

This is why I moved away

So it’s nice being home. My mom got out of the hospital today and we know what she had and she should be okay. My uncle is doing much better too.

However, I’m a bit ready to go back to LA. Not to deal with my annoying roommate or the traffic or the extremely hot weather. I do like being home with my parents and cat and seeing my nephew. I like it here–its home, ya know? But my friends here SUCK.

I had plans to go up to Seattle and hang out earlier this week but with my mom being in the hospital, that was postponed. Yesterday I emailed several friends to see if anyone could meet up. No response. Again, today, I emailed out asking if anyone was free tonight. One friend responded that she wasn’t sure. No one else did.  Oh wait, one friend said she couldn’t see me because she had to go shopping for a shirt to wear out on Saturday night. I haven’t seen her since November. And then she wanted to know if I was going to her bachelorette party on Saturday night. Because I decided to stay longer for that. No, I’m staying longer because my mom needs my help.

Ugh. I’m so angry. I hate my friends here. They’re selfish rude people. So I posted that I missed my LA friends on FB and I’m sure I’ll get some backlash for that. So in a way, I want to go back to LA. I just typed that I wanted to go home before I realized that I’m home. Except maybe I have two homes. I don’t know. If I move back, I have to start totally over and make new friends. Which is not fun.

Crazy times

I arrived home last Tuesdsay. It feels good to be home. The weather was typical chilly Seattle weather, notwithstanding the fact it is AUGUST. But thats okay. Its warmed back up.

Anyways, I saw my friends G and T, separately, and that was good. T and I got caught up after 8 months of not really talking (she’s horrible at keeping in touch–self-admitted by her) so that was nice. I met G’s boyfriend and while he’s not really my type, they seem to be good together.

I had my nephew for 2 days and we did a couple fun kid activities, ate out, made cookies and just spent time together. He’s a good kid but sometimes too whiny. Don’t really know why that is, maybe he’s too spoiled?

Saturday my parents and I went away for the night to an island off the Sound. We went to a county fair where I inhaled curly fries and scones and saw all sorts of farm animals and friendly island people. It was nice. We stayed the night at the naval lodge and it was so beautiful. The air was so crisp and clean and full of salt. Yum. The clouds were huge and white and poufy and seemed close enough to touch. We had a nice dinner and went to bed early which is always nice on vacay. Sunday we headed back and that’s when the trouble began…

My mom got really sick and it just worsened throughout the day and night. We went to her doctor today and he immediately sent us to the ER. We didn’t have to wait for very long, thank God. Basically she might have a really bad case of food poisoning or could be a tear in her intestines. She’s a bit better but in a lot of pain. So that sucks. The ER had some weirdos hanging around, as always right? She’s staying overnight and hopefully tomorrow they will run tests and know what is going on.

Then we found out my uncle in Canada had a stroke. He can walk around but can’t really talk and the right side of his face is droopy. Not good!  Again, we’ll find out more tomorrow about what’s wrong with him.

So, it has been crazy here. I was scheduled to leave Friday morning to return to LA but I’m not sure that’s going to happen.

As for moving back, I can see that my parents need me around for help. My dad can barely walk and needs help doing little things. I’m still torn though. The thought of moving back home for an indefinite length of time makes me so depressed. I can’t give up my independence and privacy. I want to be close to them, just not in the same house. BUT, I still love my life in LA…well mostly. I don’t want to give up everything I’ve worked hard for this past year. But again, I don’t have a job there. But no job here either! Argh. I’m so confused and somedays I just want to move back and other days, I have no desire to. I’m hoping to go see friends tomorrow night or Wednesday night and check out the city and see how I feel there. However, that’s contingent on my mom’s prognosis…

Going home

August 11, 2009 at 12:19 pm | In Life | 1 Comment

I’m leaving in about 6 hours to go home for 10 days. Yay! I’m almost done packing–yuck. I hate that you have to pay to check luggage now. So lame airlines!

Not much is new. My cousin has decided to drive me to the airport which is really nice of her, but I can’t help but think it’s only because she knows she’s been shitty lately. Oh well, its free! My roommate’s boyfriend finally spoke to me after about 5 days of ignoring me. I made brief replies to his query about me going home. I don’t need his attitude and I’ll be civil but I’m not going to be friendly anymore. It’s not his house and I’m tired of him living here.

Um, and I’m excited to see my cat! But sad that I won’t see the T-man for 2 weeks! Boo.

Trying not to be a whiner but…

I just got home after 4 hours in the salon getting my hair back to a nice white blonde. It looks fabulous.

However, I came into the house with the a/c on full blast and the windows open. Awesome. Let’s cool off LA shall we? And not only that but my roommate is working and her boyfriend is home with the tv blaring in her room. Argh. He’s been such an ass lately and I’m so pissed he’s here when she’s not. Even if he’s in her room its still not okay. Gah.
