Touchy Girls

I can't do anything right today. It seems like I can't help but piss people off today. Mainly the girls in my class. I'm having trouble on the homefront. I don't know if it is her, or if I just want to be mad at someone. But being a homeowner with roommates can suck. In the end it is my house, and that means that I am the only one who truly cares about it. The others pay rent, and therefore have no permanent attachment to the place. And since I pay the bills initially, I think they are too far separated from the reality of them.
My parents would not be happy if I left the windows open with the AC on. Or if I never did my dishes, or never cleaned, or never took the trash out, or left the lights on. But that seems like par for the course here on Aberdeen. And then I look like the overbearing bad guy when I say something. I don't know how to make a comment about those things not sound condescending. And therefore I'm the bitch.
Then I try to make jokes at school, and that is a mistake. I just end up pissing off more girls. Sometimes I think that it is inherently easier for me to be friends with guys. But then I remember that I went to an all girls high school, and left college with 6 wonderful girl friends.
Therefore I contend that it is Alton/Dental girls that I don't get along with.

Carpe Diem

Okay, I know that is a cheesy title to this blog installation but that is how I'm feeling today. I have known for sometime that I am a glass half empty sort of girl. Despite my best efforts I think this is my inherent mode of existence.
I wake up almost every morning and think about what has gone wrong, why the day will suck, or what I don't want to do. I know this sounds like a great way to start the day. But that is just how it is for me.
So what I'm saying is that it takes a little bit of time to remind myself why things aren't so bad, or even that things are going well. But that might be a weird blessing in disguise. This way I never take things for granted.
I just had a thought, I haven't prayed in years. In high school I could not fall asleep at night if I hadn't prayed. No matter how tired I was. Maybe I should start praying before bed again. And thus reflect on the good and the bad of life.
Revisiting the church couldn't hurt either, but babysteps....babysteps.
Well I will end with a quote from Liz, 'I'm Happy.'
