I should not be allowed to have a blog. I just don't think I have enough to say....ok that isn't true I have plenty to say. I just don't have the time or energy to organize all those thoughts that run through my brain into a coherent piece of writing that would make sense to someone other than me.Anyway, I am off to Calgary tomorrow. So that means I have a legitimate reason for not posting for a few days...j.

3 posts in one day...oh should count this one so make it 4. 4 posts in one day! That is definitely more than intermittent. Actually, I think it is a testament to how bored I was at work today.
Happy Friday! Happy Weekend!

I am a self declared over-thinker, over-analyzer, and over-worrier. (I know that last one is an atrocious abuse of the English Language but if I just put worrier it does not have the same effect. But I digress….). My brain never stops. I often suffer from insomnia….the reason why? My brain....
I have come to the realization that the humans are over-thinkers. Granted some humans do not over-think at the same intellectual level. For example, I over-think motivations where as most people just over-think the mundane like what to order off the menu at McDonald’s. You could even conclude that over-thinking makes us make rash decisions. You get sick of all the thinking and analysing that you just say f*@# it! and pick one at random.
Hmm...and interesting thought for a friday afternoon...guess I had too much time to think today.

Valentine's Day sucks the big one. Period. The end.
I have always stressed about Valentine's Day. Even when I was in elementary school February 14th was a big stress. Would I get a Valentine from the cute boy that I was crushing on? Oh and then there was the stress of picking out the perfect valentine to give to said cute boy. I remember pouring over that little box or punch out book of valentines that mom picked up from the drugstore looking for the one that truly captured how I felt. It had to be one that was better than average but not too obvious. (On a side note: I always wanted the ones that had the Disney or Looney Tunes theme but I usually ended up with the generic ones.)
And now I am faced with a similar problem. For the first time in a few years I have a valentine. I am having a hard time deciding what to get for him. I asked the advice of my closest male friend over sushi last night. The advice that he gave me was to plan a few things and wait and see what the BF does and then reciprocate with the equivilant. He said make something, buy something, and make reservations for a nice resturant. We also talked about what I expected from the BF. Honestly, I don't want much. I would love to get a thoughtful card or letter that he took the time to write. I guess I lean more to the thoughtful side of the spectrum rather than big and expensive. The last bit of advice that he gave me was that as this is the first Valentine's day that I will be setting precident so you don't want to go overboard.
I know that I will figure it out. But I am still allowed to stress over it a bit...

Last night I met the boyfriend's family. To be exact I met his mother, brother, sister and bother-in law to be. His mom was in town to do some shoppping and to take the kids for supper to celebrate the February birthdays. I was very stressed about his family liking me. I just want to make the best possile impression. Overall i think it went well.....there was plenty of conversation and laughter so that is a good sign.
After dinner, we (minus his brother) decided to go to a movie. His sister really wanted to see Hostel so that was the pick for the night. I was a little hesitant as I heard that it is quite graphic. 2 minutes into the movie the boyfriend and I wanted to crawl under our seats with embarassment. For those of you who have not seen the movie le tme break it down for you....the first half is soft porn and the second half is blood and guts. This was not family viewing material! I have vowed that I will no longer hold my tongue if I believe an inappropriate movie choice has been made.

Tonight, I am a little lonely. This is the first night in weeks that I am home…and alone. This is the night that I have the time to catch up on my reading, do some studying, and just enjoy my alone time. But I am having a hard time enjoying it…
This exact feeling is one of the reasons that I am so fearful of a relationship. For the most part I have existed in a solitary life. I have preferred it that way….then you don’t get too attached to people and it doesn’t hurt when you loose them. Don’t get me wrong I have close friends in fact I am the type to have a few very close friends rather than a multitude of friends/acquantainces. But friends are different than a relationship…a relationship is more intimate. I am finding with my current relationship that I am opening up my life to him. I am allowing him to exist in my space without feeling suffocated. This is a good sign…what is bad about it is nights like tonight. Nights like tonight scare me. I mean if I feel this alone or lonely on a night apart what will be like if it ends? I don’t want to open up to him, like him, love him, give myself to him, and then have him walk away and leave me standing there alone.

My former co-worker and good friend, R, sent me the link to the site that produced this scrumptuous tidbits this morning. I am especially fond of #5. It has provided me with a multitude of opportunities to avoid the evil spreadsheet that I have been working with for the past bizillion days. (Ok maybe a bizillion is a bit of an exageration but darn it I am sick of that thing!) So if you, like me, need a distraction check out http://thesurrealist.co.uk/.
