Saturday, October 05, 2002 ( 3:12 PM ) Scarf Girl I am a bit behind on my topics, so I've decided to do a little bit of catching up in all my free time. Heh. The first topic I wanted to talk about from a little while back was opening a can of worms when it comes to telling your friends how you feel/think about them. When it comes to guys and girls friendships, things can always be weird. You'd get a guy, who gets along really well with another girl. They hang out all the time and are really good friends. For some reason, they're not a couple, but to strangers on the street who see them, they are assumed to be a couple. Oddly enough, they are not attrached to each other "in that way." Then you get a guy and girl who get along really well, who ARE attrached to each other, but they are "just friends." Maybe one of them has issues with moving on to the next step or perhaps they are scared of being hurt (yadi yada). Sometimes, they are cozily riding along the track to coupleville, but for some reason, when they are just about to reach the point of no return, they pull the emergency brake and come to a screeching halt. All this time, they have been "just friends," even though they've hung out a lot and really get each other. So how did they suddenly stop before the point of no return? Well, I guess one person may just have wanted things to move along while the other person was reluctant. The eager person puts it all out there and proceeds to talk about it. He/she talks about feelings and opinions they have about/for the other person. What now? What happens after you've been on the track to couplehood, and then suddenly someone pulls the switch to make you go into friendshipville? Does the emotional confession play any part? Does it mess up a potential friendship because one person really likes the other person? I want to say that if you want to be friends with someone, then you can, even if you've sorta crossed the line between friends and significant other. Perhaps the two people may know that a relationship may not work out, and that they want the other person in their life. Sometimes, people aren't willing to gamble a really good friend in hopes that they could work out as a couple. I guess that's called playing it safe. Afterall, most people don't remain true friends when they break up with someone. Too much baggage I suppose.

So I was reminded of the episode of Friends when the Ross made this list up of celebrities that he'd want to sleep with. Why do guys make those lists? I mean, it's not as though it'd happen for real right? Are they merely teasing themselves of the fact that they'll have to live a life where they can only be with non-celebrities? M was telling me at first that D made a list and that he should make one up too. Do gals make up that sort of list too? I don't think I know of any that have, but I bet they're out there too. Heh.

For the past 3 days, I've stayed past when I was supposed to leave by at least an hour and a half. Today, it was 2. Yuck. All because some people didn't have very much foresight and as a result, I had to do some major graphicsy stuff with a computer that's probably too slow for what I do. SUCKS I SAY! Hopefully once I've settled in more and my boss has settled in more (she's only been there a short time), then I can have more of a "steady" day. Oh, the other day, one of my co-workers had a brief conversation with me that made me wonder if I've been working too hard: Him: Say, do you have a husband? Me: What? (I thought it was a strange question) Um.. Him: Do you have kids? Me: What? Um.. no. Why do you ask? Him: Well, because it's past 6 and you're still here. So I usually roll in around 8:15-8:30. I usually work through lunch and I've been leaving past 6. I guess that's a lot of hours. It's especially important in the beginning because I want to make a good impression. Then again, I don't want to make the impression that I'm going to do this forever. Best to leave when I'm supposed to, but things keep coming up. *sigh* Scarf Girl, signing off. # Monday, September 30, 2002 ( 9:37 PM ) Scarf Girl Oh yeah... A big YEEEHAAAAW! I got my first paycheck. It's only for 1 week though because the company pays twice a month. Into the bank it goes. Cha-ching! (the sound effect is not meant to insult any Chinese people. It is merely for the audience to imagine the sound of making money via a cash register ringing up a sale). Scarf Girl, gainfully employed. # ( 9:25 PM ) Scarf Girl Oh, it's a mere couple of hours before my friend, A's, birthday. Happy 26th. Heh, and don't get down, because 26 isn't old at all. So party hard over the weekend. Woohoo! Wow, I stayed an extra hour and a half at work today. Gee, my 2nd week has barely begun and I'm already busting my chops. Heh, you do what you've gotta do right? Perhaps I'll take it easy tomorrow. Topics in the Q: 1) can of worms 2) past meets the present 3) straddling the line of friendship Scarf Girl, [this space intentially left blank because dardy commented that I was say 'signing off'] # |
