Maaaaaaaaaan, I love music.
I came here to write up a nice long rant, but then I spent a few minutes just messing around on my laptop and listening to music, and I've just completely chillaxed. ...or maybe I'm just on the happy end of pms mood swings :D Either way, I can now approach this rant with less bias and more consideration. Perhaps I will number them...organization is a happy too.
1. The biggy in question here is rather simple: boys. I love to hang out and joke around with them - they're so much more fun than girls. I've spent this year so far hanging out with more boys than girls, and I get along with them So Much Better. I love to be their friend. What bothers me terribly is when they only talk to me because they're attracted to me. I don't want to fricking date. I'm not looking for romance in guys. I drop hints to the ones who show interest in me, but I can't bring myself to be blunt and straightforward with them because I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings :/ Damnit, I wish I could be mean. So, of course, hanging out with them as friends is actually "leading them on" 'cause y'know, that's what all those *so no interested* hints were for. I just want friendship. Why is it always relationship or bust? It's getting to the point where I seriously don't want to deal with it anymore. It's actually stressing me out and pissing me off. If I were a tad bit more childish, I'd be having tantrums at this point. I'm not trying to sound all "Oooooh, all the boys flock to my awsome presence" because I'm completely not sexy, attractive, or any of that stuff. To be honest, I have no idea why there are so many of them this past year...
UGH. Why must boys be so dense in the head? I just want this to stop. I just want one boy to be interested in me... one that I'm interested in back preferably, haha, but that's probably pushing it.
I used to always pull the "uh, I can't actually make that date tonight..." thing in high school, or just complete avoidance. Now that I'm graduated, it feels much too immature of a stunt to pull anymore. But it was so easy and didn't fail to deliver the message. So now I'm trying to be more mature and stop turning guys down all the time. The unfortunate thing is that it makes them believe you're more interested in them. I would have the "just friends" talk with the latest boys, but I haven't even known them that long! Isn't that the kind of talk you save for the guys you've been friends with for awhile? Or am I just weird to think that way...
Anyway, I should drop the subject. I know this is all infuriating whining, because it's my fault and if it truly is a problem, I should be blunt and tell them how I really feel. I feel so ready to say it, but I hate to be hated... ugh, and I hate that.
2. Yesterday I researched cramps on google and a medical site came up (duh) that I clicked on. Turns out the intensity my cramp pain reaches doesn't actually happen in everyone... Here I truly thought I was just overreacting. I thought I was weak and pathetic to be so worn out from the pain, when all of my friends and family take their cramps so lightly. "Every girl goes through cramps" my parents always told me. It was so hard to understand how people actually got out into daily life, did exams, essays, sports, cleaning, jogging, work... Yeah, so vomiting from the pain doesn't happen to everyone afterall. The pain in general doesn't happen to everyone. "Just over 50% of women get cramps." Are you joking me? "1 in 7 of those woman experience intenser levels of pain." Okay...at least I know i'm not overreacting, at least. But what to do about the pain? I hate waking up those mornings where I literally crawl out of bed and into the bathroom, where I can lay on the cool tiles and feel less nauseous, while I man up and live the pain for half an hour, before it can begin to subside to mellower 30 second intervals. And, as a bonus, a toilet is always conveniently place in a bathroom, so there's something to vomit into if the pain gets bad enough.
3. Friends. Gah. I just want to say how irritating it is when mutual friends talk to you about how they're going to hang out with other mutual friends. Then sometimes, late in the night, they follow up by telling you about how much fun they had with your mutual friends. It's like "oh okay...I'm not at all fed up with your assiness."
I think that's enough for the night.
