so, when i was in blo, i went to america's best contacts and eyeglasses to replace my ghetto glasses with some nice new non-scratched ones. i was really happy with the prices and selection.
i didn't realize at the time, but they actually have one here in phoenix.
so, i get super excited last night because they finally came after 2+ weeks. now i don't have to walk around not seeing out of the right lense because it is scratched so badly.
so, i open the box, and try on the first pair, and they are fine. that pair was not even the pair i really liked. i go for the other pair, which i am super excited about, and they are some old man glasses for some stranger named "Vincent".
eff you america's best, now i have to wait a million more weeks to get my damn glasses, and send these ones back and everything. was it really that hard to send the right pair???? it's not even like the name "Vincent" is remotely close to my name. the glasses look nothing alike, and now i am just pissed.
at least i have one pair, but as we all know, having more than one is much much better.
i will be taking care of this situation today, and tomorrow.

butting inCategory: friendship
my friend thinks the guy im seeing is a jerk, and she told me yesterday i shouldn't see him anymore. it was kinda like she was saying, if you see him, i don't really wanna be your friend.
she said a lot of nasty stuff about him. i really like him.
yea, he was mean to me the other night. but i think he had the right to be pissed. i had him pick me up completely wasted from that party i never told him i was going to, and i was dressed pretty skimpy. plus he thought my friend was gonna puke all over his car, and i got him lost like three times.
i talked to him about it th next day, sober, and everything was fine. but she can't see past the fact that we were the ones in the wrong in this case. he's supposed to be completely sweet and caring in that situation???
she says she will never like him and i am too good for him. i honestly don't think its her business to say.
i feel so weird about everything now, and i don't even want to be around her or anyone.
then she had lost her keys yesterday and kinda blamed it on me.
this all just really makes me miss the kind of friends who don't treat you this way, like (e:tina) , and (e:brit) .
i was never one to tell someone what to do, and i know she is just caring about me, but she is overreacting. she said, she didn't realize that i was the kinda girl who likes to get beat up by her man. wtf???? i don't think any man has ever hit me, ok maybe my brother, when he was a boy.
but seriously, just because someone is a jerk for an hour, that by no means turns them into a woman-beater.
i always admired this friend's strong will, but now she is just being a bitch. she said its not her fault she lost her keys, and tried to find someone else to blame it on. it is her fault. she never thinks she is in the wrong, but she is. and it hurts me that she called me a weak woman.
i feel like i will always feel weird around her now- and i wont ever want to tell her anything.

tinaCategory: friends
i think i said i was gonna hang out with so many people while i was here in blo, but come to find out, i don't really feel like seeing much of anyone.
i am gonna miss tina so much, maybe thats why. i kinda just want to spend pretty much every moment with her. shes so cute and fun! and she likes to talk about fashion. and perez.
its gonna be so sad when i say goodbye, because she is really the last girlfriend i have. i have a few in az, but she is last of the the originals. its so hard to meet people that truly accept you and love you and im freakin gonna miss her.
ps. the weather here sucks which also makes me want to do nothing.
i think the tinster and i are gonna hit the mall today, that is pretty much my fav thing to do with her, shop, or eat chicken pizza, and i think we can do both!!!!!!!

disastrousthe basketball player invited me to his celeb pool party. my friend and i were super pumped. it was supposed to be last night but they changed it to during the day and my boss let me leave work early because the census is so low.
so i get to my friends and we get ready and start to pregame. i totally forgot to eat yesterday, because i had to get my work done in time to leave early and then i drank quite a bit, so i ended up pretty drunk. so was she.
we get to the party and its pretty cool. right away we started chatting up the people there and we were having a great time. i made friends with the bartender and he let me go behind the bar and chill with him. and then i got a few work phone calls, and went outside to take them. apparently this was not allowed because when i came back in, some scary man came up to me and asked me what the issue was. i said i didn't have any, and he told me that yes i did, and then this bitchy woman comes up and tells me flat out i need to leave, and gives me no reason why.
the basketball player's personal body quard and security guy watched the whole thing transpire and came over to see if we were ok, and asked what happened. i told him that i was told to leave and i didn't know why. he insisted that o go over and ask her- he explained that she is the property manager. so i asked her, and she said it was because when i went outside i shut the door too loudly. i explained that i didn't mean to , and reluctantly agreed to let me stay.
from then on, i felt like i was being watched, and we eventually headed outside. there was a and ice cream bar and i got some gelatto and was joking with my friend and dancing with her and feeding it to her, and some guys were watching us and came over to talk to us. then, the mean lady came back, and told me i had to go. the bodyguard saw this, and tried to reason with her, but i guess she just really hated me, so he rode back with us to the car in the shuttle. he felt really bad and didn't understand what i had done.
then my friend starts crying and gets really sick. she puked all over my car.
and i looked at my phone and the guy i've been seeing and really like had texted me. so i texted him to see if he could come get us, and it was disaster from there. my friends was a mess, and i wa so drunk. i am mortified now. i don't want him to see me as some drunken party chick. don't get me wrong, i like a party, but this was unusual. i don't usually drink very much, and i have never been kicked out of anything in my entire life.
he drove my friend home which was clear across town, and then i went to stay with him. he said he wasnt mad, but i don't know. i might be pissed. and he had to get up so early to go to some important breakfast thing.
i think i am done drinking, for a while. seriously. school starts monday and i have to do really well this semester. plus, i don't like drunk sarah. and i don't think she is attractive to the guy im seeing.
i hate letting people down. and i am embarrassed that i was kicked out the party, and then i probably looked like such a slut when he came to pick me up because i was dressed kinda skimpy and very sexy, but it was a pool party...
so it was lesson, no more crazy parties where i am in over my head. no more drinking. and be a little more classy...

True friends tell you what they think. If they stand by you regardless, then you know it's really true; if they skip out when you don't do what they want, then they are just about what they want. BUT, perhaps she's just hasn't found the line & figured out when it's crossed? Plus, if she was the one almost puking in the dudes car, it could just be guilt & defensiveness. See how it pans out. The bottom line is it's only what YOU think (and of course, feel) about the guy.
Friends do not give unsolicited advice without years and years of friendship base... otherwise, it all sounds like jealous pap.
The entire I don't do anything wrong thing is annoying. I can't tell if she is trying to tell you what to do. It could be that she has heard things about this guy from other people or had a past that crossed ways with him, reason I say that is it is a jump from being a jerk to being a beater, maybe she was beaten in the past. I think a real friend says I like but I'm sorry this dude is an ass hole and I don't like him and then they tell you why they don't think he is good for you then once they let you know they drop it. Now any time you complain about him it is "I told you he is no Good". But there is a difference between saying I don't like him once and saying it every time she sees you or there is a story about him. Friends are supposed to help friends but not go over that getting in the way. If I was doing something a friend didn't think was good for me, I sure hope they would tell me instead of going along with me and acting like what I was doing was good. I hope you are happy and that your friend can see that and doesn't try to interfear.
Ugh. Down with judgmental "friends".
