Wednesday, November 14, 2001 ( 3:12 PM ) Scarf Girl I know I just started this blog and all, but I'll be taking a short little break from it. Yep, I'm going out of town for a couple of days. Should be fun. I wonder if I'll fine some Internet Cafe some place and then write up a few words so my friends know that I'm still alive and well. Almost time for my vacation to begin... I can hardly wait...Counting down the time before I can leave from work. I'm kinda hungry now. I think I'll go get myself a little snack. # ( 9:35 AM ) Scarf Girl I've always wondered why boyfriends & girlfriends get jealous of their significant other. I mean, if you guys are in a very stable relationship, then why worry? You trust your SO, they trust you, so what's up with this jealousy thing? On her blog yesterday, Amabelley talked about jealously. Well, when you look at it from a different perspective, you get jealous because your SO has been giving attention to something else for a change. Say your bf has been showering you with attention all the time, and then suddenly, he picked up a new hobby, and BAM, your nightly phone conversations have been cut in half, and you don't seem to spend as much time together anymore. You get jealous and a little paranoid and think, "Why is he spending so much time on something else? Is he losing interest in me? Maybe he just doesn't feel the same way about me anymore. Maybe our relationship is deteriorating." GGGAAAAHHH! I would say jealously comes from some deep-seeded insecurity and lack of trust. I suppose they both sorta come hand in hand. If you're insecure about yourself, you may not feel that you are the best person for your SO, and therefore, don't trust their feelings for you. Also, your insecurity would lead you to believe that you like your SO more than they like you, so you are looking for just the slightest bit of evidence that your theory may hold true. This is all merely what I think. Feel free to disagree. Heh. Scarf Girl, signing off. # Tuesday, November 13, 2001 ( 1:08 PM ) Scarf Girl I just heard something funny earlier today. I was chatting with a friend, and here's part of the conversation: J: "Good god. Another one of my friends bites the dust." SG: "Layoff?" J: "Oh no...engaged..." SG: "hahaha... Why did you call it biting the dust??" J: "Cuz there goes one chapter of life." I guess you can divide your life in several major chapters: Childhood - birth to 5th grade Adolescence - 6th to 12 grade College - first taste of independence. planning for your future. Post-College Years - your first job. finding the right career. finding out who you are. Marriage - this could happen during the college & post-college years too. Parenthood - golly, life changes after this. Mid-life - when your kids move away to college Grandparent hood - geez, you know you're old when your kids are old enough to have kids of their own. That Last Chapter - when all you seem to have are memories of your youth and your friends drop like flies. So I guess I'm in my Post-College Years right now. It's been about 2 years since I've graduated from school. I'm still amazingly working for my first company. I'm not exactly sure what I would like to do with my life...go back to school, change careers, win the lotto... so many choices and so many possibilities. Actually, I'm really like these Post-College Years. I mean, you have your nights and weekends free. You've finally got enough money to buy most of the things you want, and go out to eat the places you couldn't really as a poor college student. I think I've managed to have way more fun these days than while I was in school. Yuck, I was always doing projects and homework, so that cut into the partying time. Heh, I think that I've gone out clubbing more in the past year that I did all my years of school! Pretty sad, ain't it?

Golly, looks like the little one is finally joining the rest of us in the same age year. Damn youngin' makes the rest of us feel old. Heehee, but it's all good cuz we got him messed up on Friday when we helped him celebrate. But I'm sure it was worth it because the crew worked undercover to sneak a BRAND NEW TV into his room while he was out of the house. We couldn't stand him having a tv that did not have a remote control. Oh the humanity!! Anyways, best wishes to you J!! Hope this year will be a good one. SG, signing off. # ( 8:51 AM ) Scarf Girl Okay, if you've ever seen the movie "Waking Ned Devine," then you'll find this post relevant for the most part. So do you remember the village's grumpy old woman? You know, the one that rides that little motorized chair thing so she can get around? She always covered her head with a scarf thing, wore shades, and had this flag hung off the attenna of the chair. Hmm.. maybe she didn't have the flag. Well, whatever. So almost every day while I'm walking from the train station to my office building, I see this woman, who is riding one of those motorized chairs, wears a scarf thing on her head, and wears shades. She's even got a little red flag hanging from the attenna. The first time I saw her, I almost stopped in my tracks... "MY GOODNESS! She looks just like that woman in the movie! hahaha." I didn't say these things outloud because then people on the street would've thought I was some kind of weirdo. So, I contained my laughter, and went to work. I wonder where she goes at 8 in the morning. Scarf Girl, signing off. # Monday, November 12, 2001 ( 8:40 PM ) Scarf Girl Okay, so tell me the truth. Is being single really all that bad? I've talked to single friends of mine, and all they complain about is how they can't find someone right for them. I mean, is it the end of the world or something if you're not a half of a couple? I suppose there are good and bad sides to everything. Take the fighting for example. Can you imagine getting so incredibly frustrated with one single person because they didn't walk the right way? So many times, couples fight for what seems to be no apparent reason. They fight about the little things, when between friends, the little things don't really matter. I think couples should ease up, and look at the big picture. So that would be the down side to this relationship stuff. But of course, you can't over look the wonderful feeling you get because there is someone out there, that gets you. There's someone out there, who understands the way you think, the way you act, and the way you go about life. How great is that? I guess it makes the world a much less lonely place. So is that it then? Single people are lonely, in a nutshell. I suppose that no matter how many friends we have, or how often we go out there and party, deep down, we just want someone to connect with. We want our soulmate (if you believe in that stuff, of course). If we don't have anyone to connect with, we're lost. It's kinda like, when you were in school, and you had this question you wanted to ask, but were too afraid to raise your hand because you thought it might be a dumb question, and everyone was going to laugh at you. I bet that if you knew 10 other people had the same question in mind, you would have had no problem asking the teacher. You're unsure of how things were, and having someone else to relate to, who also didn't know what's going on, can be very reassuring. I was talking to a friend of mine the other day, and here's how part of the conversation went: E: "So are you dating anyone?" SG: "No." E: "Why not?" SG: "I don't know." Why not? Now, why on Earth did E ask me why wasn't i dating anybody? I thought that was incredibly strange. It was as if he thought there was something wrong with me being single. I don't really know what to think. Sometimes, single life seems like a good thing. You are your own person. You don't have to answer to anybody. You don't have to call someone all the time. You don't have to check your schedule with someone else. Do as you please. Go as you please. Doesn't that sound great? If so, then why are so many people wanting to hook up? For goodness sakes, single people aren't freaks! I'll probably write more about this some other time. Scarf Girl, signing off. # ( 7:21 PM ) Scarf Girl Neato.. I got this thing to work. So what should I talk about? Hmm... I think I'll talk about nothing right now. Actually, I think I want to talk about frienships & relationships. Let me think it over first. Ciao for now! # ( 7:19 PM ) Scarf Girl This is my first post for the blog. I suppose it's the trend these days to have one. I wonder how long I can keep this thing going. # |
