The OLD FiReCrAcKeR

Despite the fact that we were busy as crap last night... Lisa and I had a great time. It's been a while since I worked a shift with her and we got to talk about a lot... which I will talk about some of here. Yay! :--P hehehe.

Anyways, it really is nice to talk to someone who has the same relationship views as you. Not that I don't have a great best friend and don't talk about stuff with her (cuz I do, and I love you Amanda!) Just that Lisa and I talked about it last night and I've gotta post it and get it all out here!!

Nothing annoys me more than people who put down their everything for one person in their lives. I'm not saying that if you do love someone that they shouldn't be first in your life-- because they should by all means--- But you don't have to talk to the person you love like 8-10 times a day over the phone, at work, etc... totally not necessary, and something that I discovered being in the relationship I am currently in. With regards to the relationship I am in currently... we've been taking it as it comes. The whole thing just kind of "happened", and I did NOT by any means want to move fast at all. Many people are suprised when they hear that... and it's because yes I have been hurt in the past. While no, I don't believe I will be hurt now, I also believe that there is more to life than being borderline obsessed with one person, and I'm not going to leave my friends hanging and spend every waking minute of every day talking to/spending time with/ spending nights with him. It will come in time if it is all meant to be!!! (after all, it has been two months!!)

Also, I'm not one of those girls that HAS to see him every day, mentions him in every profile and away message, and talks to him a huge amount throughout the day... that's just not me. And don't get me wrong, because I do have strong feelings for him-- I guess I just never wanted to be like that, and Lisa understands that. If you love someone, they should know it, and you don't have to broadcast it to the world. I guess it's one of my pet peeves of mine... being through it knowing the JMU population and people on my buddy list and what not. Also, nothing annoys me more than being in a conversation with someone and being rudely interrupted when someone calls you on your cell phone... hit ignore and return the call when you are done talking! I've been in relationships before like that, and I guess I form my views from my past-- that i know that when in a relationship like that, people will eventually get tired of each other. You both have to have lives and live separate of each other. Have your own friends and your own hobbies, yes you can do things together and like the same things... but don't be "dependant" on each other (or appear that way to everyone). If i wanted to see that, i'd just go spend a day observing the "girlies" and their guys on greek row and at highlawn!!

For my one... it all started with our song... God Blessed the Broken Road. I won't go into it's symbolic meaning, but that is and will always be OUR song. :--) I do love you, and I love spending time and every moment I do spend with you-- but the fact that we don't see each other every day and talk to each other a bunch makes our relationship stronger. Two months and counting to be exact! :--D

And... if you don't agree on my relationship views, then by all means you don't have to. I guess I'm just putting them out there, because it's not often that I'm asked like I was last night and not often that I talk about it all. So... it's nothing personal to anyone, AT ALL... they are just my views :--P So don't anyone take it personally, I'm not intending to attack anyone or any relationship here... so PLEASE don't take it that way. It's just that i hadn't been asked my views by anyone really in a while without getting put down, and I figured after that conversation it's good to put them out there.

But if anyone wants to keep the conversation going, feel free to IM me and we'll discuss it :--D
