This post is like 6 really short “paragraphs” and not anything scandalous, but I’m doing a read more because. Also, what is my life.
We fought, I apologized (yesterday) and she still hasn’t replied. I’ve been sitting here for over an hour just being upset and contemplating going back to bed, but why? I need to go to the gym, I have time to go to the gym, why am I going to let being sad over this situation keep me from that? Haha, I’m definitely turning into my mother, because she would tell me this exact thing - “you can’t let other people run your life.”
The thing is, this isn’t the first time I’ve considered us not being friends. Yes we have good times, and she’s done things like drive me to the doctor when I needed to be sedated, given me going away presents when I leave for school, but there are other times when I ask myself why we’re even friends.
My mom always says I put too many expectations on people, and that’s what gets me burned, and it sucks, and I try not to, I do try to keep my expectations low so that I don’t end up disappointed, but it’s just not in my nature I guess.
Anyway, it’s rolling up on 7:35am right now, and even though I’m bummed I’m still gonna try to go to the gym. I’ve been praying for guidance, and not for God to make everything better, but just for us to come to some resolution so I can have some peace in my heart, you know?
And you know what, I have other really amazing and true friends, and no maybe I haven’t known them as long or have as much history, but that doesn’t change how dear they are to me. And who knows, maybe this is God’s way of telling me that I need to put more love and attention into some of my other relationships, I don’t know!
p.s. now it’s 7:40, I’m off!!
I AM LAUGHING SO HARD I CANT
To all my fellow “Christmas Babies” Please tell me the rules you give your family and friends because everyone thinks I’m nuts for setting a few ground rules to make my birthday not get overshadowed by Christmas.
Yes, I was born on Christmas Day, 12/25/1992 at 3:10 in the morning.
My rules for family, friends and my boyfriend are as followed:
1. You may NEVER combine a gift, saying this is your birthday AND Christmas gift.
2. My Birthday presents must be wrapped in BIRTHDAY wrapping paper. Do you see me wrapping your gifts in Christmas paper? NO.
3. Before you tell me Merry Christmas, you MUST first say Happy Birthday!
4. I must get a birthday AND Christmas card. Only exception is if you can find a Birthday/Christmas card. (I make this a “challenge for everyone every year)
How many times have you heard “OMG YOU’RE BORN ON CHRISTMAS? YOU MUST GET DOUBLE THE PRESENTS!” or when your at the doctors “AWWWW, YOU’RE A CHRISTMAS BABY!”
I get “double the aw’s” because my name is Angelica Joy, which is pretty much a Christmas name.
Don’t get me wrong, my birthday is cool and special, I just wish it was so annoying!
BTW. I have a Christmas Tree birthmark on my back :)
Share your stories Christmas Babies!!!
OMG YES YES YES.
As a kid my mom would decorate with birthday stuff, and rewrap presents from extended family who claimed “well it’s basically the same thing” - and the only time I’ll ask for something combined is from my parents and it’s usually something HUGE - but they always get me wonderful things for both anyway!!
I AM REALLY STOKED FOR MY BIRTHDAY ALL OF A SUDDEN OH MAH GAH
THIS is the Ann I’m talking about.
I really am so stinkin’ blessed to have such great friends in my life :)

You guys are just all so awesome and I love the randomness of everything that transpired (MGG, kasi & rachel & the vid, “also”) and I’m just so happy right now, seriously! I’ve got this stupid grin on my face and I’m just filled with contentment, pure raw happiness! it really is the little things that make all the difference :)

“you are still my person. Even if I’m not yours.”
It didn’t help that it wasn’t my store, because I didn’t know where anything was and it made me so anxious! Buuut I made $10 cash in tips and $13 in quarters! Whoo for spending money and laundry quarters!!
Heading to the gym with my mom tonight after she gets back from some meeting, and I have the day off tomorrow!
I wish I had more than one friend home, it’s so boring! It’s so dumb because she’ll be “busy” so she can’t hang out, but she sees her boyfriend everyday. She says all they do is sit at her house, but why can’t I just sit at her house? She still tells me I’m her best friend, but I just can’t let myself reciprocate. I don’t know, I’m just being a baby I guess. Maybe my expectations are too high.
Everyone needs to follow her, she’s seriously the truest friend a girl could have.
She drove me to the clinic and to the pharmacy, and waited with me both times. She was even going to take me to get bedding and such.
Seriously, she’s amazing and the world needs more people like her.
She’s had one since 10th grade: it fluctuates between anorexia and bulimia. Every single one of her friends have either confronted her or her parents, who obviously deny it…
Except me. And that’s why I’m her only friend. Literally. She made no friends at her university last year, so she transferred to a university 10 minutes away from mine, and still hasn’t made any connections.
But it is so hard to be around her, because she looks like she is in the worst pain.
Last winter, she was wearing 2 pairs of long underwear under her special ordered 000 jeans. Yeah.
And, when I’m with her, I feel so terrible that I’m not saying anything, so I ignore her most of the time. If I’m not around her, I can’t feel responsible.
I need help. She needs help, but I don’t know what to do.
