Look at me, I will never pass for a perfect bride.

Can it be, I'm not meant to play this part?

I guess I've been in a bit of a whiny mood, or maybe I'm just stressed out (but why? what do I have to be stressed about?) - I ended up kind of laying into Jennifer last night about being taken advantage of or not appreciated. And since /she's/ stressed out, I'm sure she didn't need that at all. Ugh. What a mess. Just thinking about it exhausts me.

I really don't mind doing things for people, or letting people use my things, or helping people out, or anything like that. I just dislike when people automatically assume I'm going to do the things, so they don't bother to ask me. Or they don't stop to just say thank you. Maybe that's petty and anal, I'll concede that, it just seems right to me. My grandmother was very particular about saying thank you. When we were younger, we had to write our thank you notes before we could really even touch the presents. Heck, I sent a thank you note to my landlord for putting in a dryer vent. Seriously. And when I got married, my thank you notes were done a week after the honeymoon. All of them. (And I wrote them all.) I'm crazy about thank yous, I suppose.

I guess I'm overly sensitive about that sort of thing, and I get to feeling taken advantage of really easily. And I'm probably also overly sensitive about being at home and not working, because I feel useless in a lot of ways, so I start doing a million things around the house. And then I get it into my head that I'm the only one doing things, when I know in reality she's just got a lot going on.

Tonight she has to work on her thesis paper big time, and I have Sekrit Date Night. I will try not to make a big deal out of my sensitivities until the thesis is done and the car situation is dealt with. I can't believe I'm admitting that sometimes the Girl Of Steel gets her feelings hurt. La-dee-frickin-whineypants-dah.

(Thanks for the phone call, murnkay! I adore you!)

Blah tell me about it! I am still rather irritated about my sister. I researched quite a bit for a birthday/graduation gift that I thought she'd like. I spent $100 on sheets/comforter/mattress cover for her dorm bed. Which is my entire allowance for half a month (which still has to pay for gas and whatnot, so essentially most of my entire spending money for a month). A pretty nice gift, ya know? She didn't say thank you or even that she liked it when she opened it, and when my mom MADE her send out thank yous, I thought she'd tell me how much she liked it then, but the thank you was a generic "thank you for thinking of me on my graduation." I had tried to say that if she didn't like it she could pick out a different color, but my mom said she liked it. I hate not feeling appreciated when i get excited and try to go all out on a gift for someone.

[doulamel.livejournal.com]

That's why ya love me. ;)

My mom is fanatical about buying gifts. She has to make sure they are perfect. She will freak out and call me three hundred times to see if so-and-so will like the gift. She pours her whole soul into gift-buying sometimes, it's kind of scary!

I hope people send her thank you notes! I love thank you notes!

Did I forget to thank you for your awesome company?

[carina-s.livejournal.com]

Thank you. For everything.

[carina-s.livejournal.com]

Also, tell me more about friendster.

[carina-s.livejournal.com]

I'll just keep adding comments until I run out of after thoughts...

btw I am SO impressed that you got all of your thank you notes out so promptly! I am STILL writing notes (though only a few left to do).

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Actually, you /did/ thank me. Several times. :)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

You know, I really REALLY like you.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

It's this goofy site where you link to your friends, and then you're linked to their friends, and their friends, and so on. It's like that Six Degrees thing.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Your notes are pretty quick, too! According to customs, you have a whole year.

[carina-s.livejournal.com]

*sighs a huge sigh of relief*

I was feeling really guilty, especially reading that you had yours out so quickly!

*huge weight lifted from my shoulders*

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

No need for guilt!
