~~ Rantings and Ravings ~~

Aiya...Why is it that the few people who are even slightly friendly toward me always end up being weird/giving me grief/annoying me so much of the time? It really sucks. Granted, if I wasn't so damn shy, I'd probably have more "normal" friends, but that's a whole 'nother problem. =P

Honestly, though. There are really only three people that I'm close enough to that we talk outside of school; Daniel, Bobby, and Jason. Daniel's probably the sanest of the bunch...that is, if you discount his Christian-ness. He keeps trying to get me to go to church with him, but I don't want to! Anyone who knows me very well knows that I am not comfortable in churches. I'm not that religious, and being around people who are kinda bugs me. As long as he doesn't shove it in my face, I'm happy. That's not asking too much, is it? Besides that, though, last night he messaged me, all upset over some political crap...something about some new laws that some people are trying to pass...and now he wants to make a whole new political party! >.< Now, I feel strongly about some political issues, but God...I don't care that much! Especially not now. I've got enough else to think about, what with college coming up and that scholarship/internship...

Bobby's always been a little...off. Don't get me wrong, I like him. Hell, I've known him since kindergarten. Besides being quirky, he's had a crush on me since grade school; one that I do not reciprocate! He's been hitting on me lately, even though Jason and I are still together! (He doesn't know that I'm planning to leave him) Grr...It's just really annoying!

And Jason...As if him being MIA most of the time, while I'm trying to think of a time and way to tell him it's over, isn't frustrating enough...He called me earlier today. This is good, right? Wrong. He's in one of his moods again, though this time there's actually a reason for it. He's basically supporting himself at the time, but he's having some serious financial problems. Now, given that he didn't get his HS diploma, and his family has a really bad reputation around town, I'm not at all surprised that he's having trouble finding a job. So basically, he's all upset over the whole matter, so he just dumps it on me. There's not a damn thing I can do about it...I wish I could help him, but I can't. I realize that fact, and can't help but be a little annoyed that he's dumping this on me. I don't know what to say to him to make him feel better, because I obviously can't relate to what he's going through. And listening to him, the guy that I consider to be the only person (outside my family) who really knows me, sounding that upset...it drags my mood down, too. I hate it.

Besides all this crap, I've been bored out of my mind lately. Nothing seems to hold my interest any more...It really sucks. I've been thinking of starting an RPG blog, but I don't know of anyone that I could recruit to play with me. Maybe I'll go ahead and set it up, and see if I can find some other people who'd be interested...I dunno.

*Sighs* Okay...I'm done, now. *Smiles slightly* Sometimes a good rant can really help. I'm better now.

~~ And...Done! ~~

Well, over the past couple of days, I reread the Harry Potter book series. Today, I tackled my new copy of Order of the Phoenix. I quite enjoyed it...though I'm currently quite furious at JK Rowling at her decision to kill off Sirius Black! I was always quite fond of this character, and I feel it was particularly cruel inflict said character's death on the surviving characters. Ah, well. It can't be changed...*Begins to plot writingSirius-themed fanfiction*

*Yawns* Well, I'm going to bed now. Yes, I was up all night reading, and am just now going to bed. Isn't summer vacation grand. *BG*

~~ And the Obsession Returns... ~~

I finally got my copy of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix today! ^_^ Yay! Now, I'm off to reread the first four books, since it's been a while since I read them last. With this new book as my incentive, it shouldn't take me very long to finish them. *Bounds away happily, like the total HP fangirl she is*

~~ Desktop Stuffs...and Boredom, of course ^^ ~~

Well, I finally changed my dekstop theme...now, when I use my computer, I get to enjoy the company of Kougaiji, from Gensomaden Saiyuki. ^_^ I actually made all of the elements of this theme myself ^^V

While I was digging through the screencaps I'd taken from my new copy of Vol. 2 of Saiyuki, I found this shot of Kougaiji...He's surrounded by a glowing aura, as he chants a summoning spell. The pic simply begged to be made into a wallpaper. So I did. ^^ After that, I used another screencap as a source for a winamp skin, and a couple more for icons. Granted, they're all pretty simple, 'cause I'm not very experienced at making desktop things, but I think that they turned out pretty well ^^

*Sigh* Bored, bored....I really need to find something to do. Most of my usual hobbies are starting to bore me, and Jason's still MIA...I dunno. Hopefully I can find something to occupy my mind. ^^;;

~~ Watashi wa sabishii desu... ~~

Grrr...I swear. Sometimes, I wonder about my moods. Right now, I want to scream and hit someone, and hide in a hole and cry...all at the same time. What brings on this tumult of emotion, you ask? One word: Jason. Okay, to be fair, it isn't really his fault; he's just the catalyst for the whole thing.

As I've ranted about in earlier posts, I've recently been trying to come up with a way to break up with Jason, yet I still haven't managed to do it. Maybe I'm too caring...or maybe I'm just a coward. I don't know. I just can't bring myself to do it. Even though I know that he's not the guy for me...our relationship could never go anywhere, because neither one of us can give the other what they need...

He cares about me (he says he loves me), but I know that he can't be what I need my future husband to be. He's immature; I can't have an intelligent conversation with him. His sense of humor is horribly childish, consisting entirely of potty humor, which I find quite irritating. He's never serious about anything, not even the important stuff. He has no ambition whatsoever; he has flat-out said that he has virtually no plans to continue his education and get a good job...He basically plans to get a minimum wage job and then be a 'house husband', while I go out and work. Now, I don't expect to marry a rich man and live the "good life", but I do want to maintain the standard of living that I've held since childhood (pretty normal, middle-class); something that he could not give me...What it comes down to is this: if something were to happen to me, so that I couldn't work, my husband would have to be able to support me. There's no way that Jason could do that. Basically, he has much lower expectations than I do; standard of living comfort level, job success, everything! I've seen some of the places that he's lived (and been happy) and I visibly cringed at the conditions. He has no desire to succeed in life, while I do. He loves kids, and has even told me that he'd "love to have a child with me" *shudders*...despite his knowing that I hate children and NEVER want to have any. And, though it's cliché, I want my mate to be able to be strong for me, to support me when I need it...yet another thing that Jason could never do.

And I realize that I can't give him what he needs. I realized this some time ago; Jason doesn't need a wife, he needs a mother. As an example of what I mean, think of a weird cross between Ayanami Rei and Ikari Shinji (of NGE). He is very "poor at living"; if left alone, he doesn't eat, doesn't sleep...nothing. I've tried to get him to change, but he flat-out refuses to take care of himself. He has very low self-esteem and self-worth. He refuses to believe anything good about himself. He apologizes every time I say the slightest complaint about anything (Things that are NOT his fault in anyway!). He is prone to bouts of depression, which I am not able to cope with...I simply can't do anything to help him, and that hurts me. He's told me before that he doesn't want to live anymore...There were a couple of times that I was truly afraid that he might intentionally hurt himself...I just can't deal with that. I've tried, but I'm just not strong enough to give him the support he needs...

Despite all this, I still haven't managed to break it to him yet...I think I might have figured out one reason why. It's my own fault...Watashi wa sabishii desu. (I'm lonely.) Earlier I was thinking about it...Jason's been MIA lately; I've easily gone for over a week between times when I hear from him. I don't really have any close friends; most I just talk to at school...Jason's the only one who ever calls me, or I call him...So, I really miss it when I can't talk to him (since I have no one else to talk to). So when I finally hear from him, I'm so starved for companionship, that I subconsciously put off breaking up with him...because I know that it will likely drive him away from me...even if he will agree to remain friends with me, I know that I will lose him (at least momentarily) while he deals with the break up. I know how upset he got the last time...I didn't talk to him on the phone, but he sent me letters and Yahoo! messages...so I know how upset he was.

*Sigh* I just don't know what to do...I've got no idea how to break up with him without setting his depression off, or without him arguing back. I know him...If I suggest, in any way, that the break up is because of a fault of his, he'll offer to change in hopes of keeping me around. But the fact is, there's no way he could ever change into the man that I need him to be. So there's no point in letting him try...I guess that leaves the "it's not you, it's me" approach, but I'm not really sure how to go about it...I'd considered saying that we're going in different directions, but I'm afraid that he'd argue that. As it is, when I told him about this job offer in Virginia, he told (not offered, told) me that he would move out there with me, even though I know that he could never afford to live there (and I never indicated that I wanted him to!) He basically said that wherever I went, he was going to follow...So if I just say, "We're going in two different directions," he'll probably fire back with "Not really. You're going this way, so I'll follow you." *Sigh* I have to find a way to tell him that it's over without giving him the chance to argue with me about it...and I have no idea how to do that.
