So.. I'm discovering that with age, and with pregnancy, the gap between H and I is ever-growing. The sense of getting along at J's wedding must have been a fluke. I've tried reaching out to her since hearing of her pregnancy, to talk, to seek out her help on a class project, to see what type of theme her and her husband were thinking of for their child, and she has yet to return a facebook message, a phone call, anything. I called her tonight, and since she didn't answer, I tried something else. That's right, I called her husband. He was not helpful. He said they don't know the sex of the baby yet (which I would guess they wouldn't seeing as she's not due until around the end of May the last we heard. J just found out she's having an alienette*, and she's due late-March) but he left the theme of the baby quilt up to me. So pretty much it was kinda a waste of time calling him. So mostlikely, I will end up making their kid a monkey themed quilt. J is getting a Winnie the Pooh/ Hundred Acre Woods-themed baby quilt.
Fall semester is almost over. THANK GOD! I'm to the point where my head wants to shut down/explode. It's the time in the semester where I wanna say "I quit being an English major, just give me the Communication classes!*" It's exhausting! What works on the frazzled nerves is my roommate. Now don't get me wrong, E is a great person, and we usually get along. HOWEVER, right now, I'm to the point where she's annoying me to no end. The constant history channel/documentaries/ghost shows.. I admit it, I like SOME reality tv shows.I like watching shows like Gray's Anatomy/Private Practice, Army Wives, etc. However, she thniks shows lie gray's are soap operas, and mocks reality shows. She likes to be "mentally stimulated" by her shows. Me? I most of the time, just like to let my mind shut down, I like some mindless television. I sometimes watch documentaries on musicians, actors- shows that have some entertainment value, but I'm not a history buff like her and my Dad are. I'm not into that sort of thing. But that's not the only thing that's bothering me with her lately.
I will admit, in this blog, I vent a lot about The Children. Since the meeting, they haven't been acting out.They've been pretty quiet when they are here, though in the past week they've been not in the dorm. M has been here, T has not shown up yet after Thanksgiving weekend. I pointed this out to E, and she got a snobbish attitude, saying stuff along the lines of "good, I hope she never comes back." As much as I get annoyed/aggravated by some of their antics, I'm not going to go that far. I'm at least going to put some effort into being civil towards them. Another thing that's annoying me with her, is her leg. She has a case of MRSA on her leg, which it IS healing, but she doesn't see anything wrong in massaging her leg near it because she has a charlie-horse but not washing her hands afterward to stop the germs from getting on things like the remote, the door handles, the light switches, etc.Granted, she is on 3 different antibiotics, but I don't want it, and it's unsanitary. I talked to Em the other day at lunch, and we talked about possibly rooming together next fall if she lives on campus. Her and I have had our problems in the past with similar issues, but since she's had to deal with her hellish roommate this year, she's toned it down and shaped up. We get along better this year than in the past. Hopefully she actually does live on campus next year. And hopefully E and I get along enough next semester to not want to throttle each other over stupid stuff. I get that the size of the room, the proximity to each other all the time, and the proximity to the end of the semester play a factor, but it's just getting to be too much to deal with all the time. I might seem like I'm constantly bitching about stuff other things do. I know I get on others nerves, I know that I'm not perfect, but I try to put in an effort to not irk others, even if we don't get along all the time.
I'll blog possibly later this week. If not, I'll blog after I get home after finals next Tuesday/Wednesday. Hopefully, I'll be able to tell you how awesome Boondock Saints:All Saints Day is (I'm planning on seeing it either tuesday or wednesday, even if none of my hometown friends don't take up the invitation to see it with me. Well, I'm off to try and get some sleep shortly. Later to my less than 5 readers (really? I doubt more than that read this. If there are, thank you for being entertained by my sometimes melodramatic life.)
