Well, I think I've officially hit the insanity mark...

Last night, we were at Target and he was looking for cheese balls...lol...we were both like, wow, haven't seen those forever...
We couldn't find them, and just deduced that Target was dumb for not having them...

This morning I left his place to come back here and shower and stuff, and then I stopped by IHOP and got us breakfast (for lunch) to go....the thought popped into my head to stop and find him some cheeseballs at the store (just to prove I am truly the most awesomely thoughtful girlfriend ever)...well, I went to three stores in the area and couldn't find freakin' cheeseballs!!! I ended up just settling on cheese poofs instead, but man...I was crazy obsessed with finding these things!!

So I get to his house, and of course he appreciated them, but of course he was also not AS appreciative as he needed to be because he didn't realize how crazy I had gone trying to find them...because only I could be that nuts...it was fine, I didn't expect him to understand....

We had a nice afternoon. He worked on stuff around the house, and I wrote papers....then it got worse...

So! Several weeks ago he had said that the next time I play offeratory at church I should play a jazzed-up version of this one song....I know I have an arrangement of it somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. He brought it up today (because I'm playing offeratory tomorrow) so I started trying to devise ways to find a copy. Mind you, I have three papers due on Monday and a final on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I do NOT have time to be running around finding more church music that I do not even need!! Well anyway, I left his place eventually, and hunted out the local Christian bookstore...I found two books with different arrangements in it, so I picked the one that I thought was the best....

I took it to the music building, only to find that the arrangement sucks. It sounds awful. So, I started thinking that I needed to drive back across town to the store again and get the second version. I don't have extra money to be spending right now, but I just kept thinking how surprised he'd be when I busted it out tomorrow morning (but of course I don't play in church to impress/surprise anyone but that's a whole other point...) so I got in my car but then thankfully had a brief experience with sanity and realized that I was being rediculous, and that I would be setting myself up for failure, because no matter what, again, he wouldn't be as appreciative as I would want him to be...

So I called him and left him this rediculously frantic message about how he needs to yell at me and tell me to stop....
So he called back and did just what I asked for...
And now I feel bad because I think he thinks I'm crazy, and now he's out getting beers with his friends and he's probably just ranting about how crazy I am....

Not that I don't deserve it, but sheesh...

I hate the end of the semester!!!

I would just chock all of this up to stress, and that's what most of it is....but some of it is sending flashbacks loud and clear to Eric-esque situations!! Like, I think I have it figured out: When I don't feel like I'm getting something that I need from the man I'm with, I start getting obsessed with giving, because I always assume that they're going to realize, 'wow! she does so much!' when, in reality, all it makes them do is get annoyed with my insanity and keeps them expecting more...

In fact, now that I think about it, maybe that explains some of the Tom situation too!! ahhhh!! I have such a love/hate relationship with self-realized epiphonies....

I'm sure he understands the stress and pressures you are under. Michael seems like he's pretty with it when it comes to life. He may not have experienced this frenzee of trying to obtain a master's degree, but it sounds like he's standing by you.

On the other hand, you could also look at this as a guy/girl clashing thing. Girls by nature are always wanting to talk and express emotions and problems. On the other hand, guys are always trying to fix it. Michael might be getting frustrated in the idea of how to fix your problems. If he asks if there's anything he can do to help, just tell him to be there for you.

It's completely normal for a guy to go out and get beers without you. Hardin would do this sometimes and I would get all POed because I wasn't invited. Guys, like girls, gossip so I'm sure he's saying that things are hectic for you AND I'm also sure he's telling them what a great girl you are!!

they say hindsight is always 20/20...I'm sure it has to do with the attention thing, too....Now that we can chalk up to human nature!

I hope he's not bitching about me!! I know up until this point he's done nothing but rave about me....but I know that we're also a lot more into that whole "comfort" faze that I ALWAYS dread...it's stuff like how he doesn't open my car door anymore, and how he doesn't offer me anything to drink when I come over anymore, and how he doesn't drop me off near the door of restaurants when it's raining like he used to....I really hate when all of that stuff goes away...and I really thought that it wasn't going to with him, but alas...

So anyways, I wouldn't be surprised if he needed to vent a little steam about how crazy I've been this week (because I've really been pretty hard to handle this week, I'll admit) I just have such pride issues over being the best girlfriend ever...I hate thinking that he might be frustrated!! Ahhhh!! How did all of this come from a guy that I didn't even want to date?!

Ahhh!! Why don't I just pack up and move to NY with you and Hardin and we can start our own Kindermusic chain for people who aren't idiots?!

We'll make it part of the reality show...

Not to keep everything negative...we had a good time this afternoon, including a wrestling "fight" in the backyard....ahhh, it felt good to be somewhat flirty again!

Do you think you are spending too much time together? I think sometimes the confort phase is brought on by seeing eachother all the time. For example, when Hardin and I first started dating he used to get up and fart in the bathroom. Now he burps and farts at the same time. While this is all very intertaining, he is a gas machine and sometimes it gets old. Eventually I think things will even out and it won't be as "comfy" as it is right now. You guys are just testing the waters. i would say to wait until finals are over to bring up any of this.
