I hope that 2009 is so much better for everyone than 2008 was. No matter whether 2008 was the shittiest year ever or the best year ever.
Personally, for me in 2008 I lost two great great friends, my best friend from high school was murdered in June and then one of my best friends here in college killed himself in August two days before my b-day; basically that helped this year suck, however piled on top of that one of my oldest and dearest friends just went a little psycho on me. He and I had been friends since July 2000 and I thought we would be friends for forever. Then I start my new job (see profile) and he starts calling my listings and at first I think of it as funny and then it just gets weird. During this time he starts to text me an extreme amount and I of course respond to his texts and that means he texts me in reply to my texts etc. I mean, it was nuts I would wake up and there would be 15-20 texts at least 4 of which were "why aren't you responding, and oh I guess you're not in the mood to talk or are you mad at me or what did I do wrong?" So then I would text him with a "hi, I just woke up" and he would keep texting me. I play WoW, he plays WoW and the minute I would log in he would be there whispering me, I mean for fuck's sake!!! I wanted to log in and just sit there and do nothing and play and occasionally talk but he would push me. <p> Meanwhile, while this is going on the site I am with glitches and accidentally shows my actual phone # to a customer on a callback and he keeps texting me and calling me and telling me about how he wants me and how he loves me and we are meant to be together. This customer also says things like "I can't wait to get together and just choke you til you can't breathe" in his texts and is telling me about how he is going to come visit me one day soon which is completely freaking me out. So, I am getting more and more edgy every day with the constant texting of both these guys. The freaky weirdo guy who I have been friends with for almost 9 years also has this uncanny knack for turning everything and anything that might be a bit dramatic around so that it somehow effects him. Like the customer, I tell crazy weirdo freaky friend that this guy lives in Chicago and he goes "shit that's really close to me" WTF does that have to do with the price of dogs balls in China?
I mean the customer would text me in the morning and ask what I was wearing then if I didn't reply right away he would say something about keeping open the lines of communication in our relationship open. I mean for heaven's sake! What relationship? He pays me for dirty talk over the phone, wtf?
During this time I have become friends with another dude on WoW, even moreso than we were before because he is helping me deal with the freaky weirdo friend of mine and the freaky weirdo friend is convinced that this guy is pushing us apart...again wtf?. And the freaky weirdo friend decides to continue texting me 20-30 times a day and then the minute I answer his texts he will call me almost immediately after that. Anyway, I casually mention to my husband one day that he doesn't have me on as short a leash as these two guys, my husband maybe texts once a day to tell me he loves me and if I don't respond he assumes I am sleeping or just not near the phone, he doesn't fuckin text me 50 more times. This comment makes my husband realize how truly fed up I was, during this time I had also already changed my phone number once but I ended up texting the freaky friend when I sent out a phone book wide "Hey this is Blossom's new phone #" text. Ugh! What a dumbass rookie mistake. Anyway, my husband finally says , "no more, this guy is starting to piss me off!" For my husband to become angry with something like that means I listen. So I tell this guy we can no longer text each other more than 3 times a day and no more calling once a day. He turns every problem I talk to him about onto himself so that he is the center of attention and he also has this annoying habit of no matter what we are talking about mentioning something that I did that hurt him or something . If I say to him that he needs to "fuck off" but I say it in a nice way like "not in the mood for talking right now", or "I really am trying to concentrate I am tanking right now" He just keeps talking and won't shut up and he had been doing that ALOT within those last weeks before my husband finally said "no more". No matter how hard I try to be more brutal I don't want to hurt his feelings because then I would never hear the end of it from hi whenever we did start talking again. Well this crazy weirdo freak guy he gets frustrated and freaks out even more. I have at this point had to tell my guild leader in WoW what is happening and he talks with this guy and while the guild leader is telling him to *STOP* unequivocally, what is the dude doing as he is agreeing to the guild leader not to text me or stalk me in WoW (which he was doing) or call me? He is fucking texting me that they are talking. So this guy also then goes to all my friends in WoW even the dude I have become really good friends with over this time and begs them to tell me to talk with him and that he is sorry. My husband had said to put him on ignore but I don't and I tell my husband this. Anyway, I tell the guild leader I know they were talking and he gets pissed because this guy was literally all like "I won't text her or call her or stalk her on WoW, etc etc" to the guild leader's face and then was texting me at the same time so the guild leader drops him from the guild. Damn did things get worse from there so I stop talking with this guy for like most of March, April, May and June 6 rolls around and I get the call from my sister that my best friend was murdered so, knowing that she and crazy weirdo guy had dated for a bit and were still talking up until about 2 weeks before she was killed and that he most likely did not know. So I call him to give him the news and sure enough that gets us talking again, during the time that we did not talk via texts or regular phone calls he was calling my work line about once a week to have a chat with me. Anyway,we basically started texting once or twice and then all of the sudden it was back to the extreme amount of texts and his completely whining about what had happened and taking every moment to express how hurt he was by myself and my husband just dropping him as a friend for that long. Goes on and on about my husband as if he and this guy are best friends, my husband has said maybe 3 words to him ever. Ugh!!! Basically, a few months ago, I joked with freaky crazy weirdo friend that my friend from NZ (the other dude from WoW who I am pretty close to) is here with me in the States. We were of course joking but he takes us seriously. He also then goes on vent and tells his whole raid (25 people) in his new guild about the whole situation, according to him. I mean this man is a complete idiot. I have to shush now lol because I keep thinking of new things that happened that lead to my getting fed up and saying hell no to talking with him. That last straw really was his venting in vent and airing my shit and blaming the other dude (from NZ) for why crazy weirdo freaky guy and I were no longer friends when really he only had himself to blame the WHOLE time. He will never see that though, nothing is ever his fault, everything always happens to him, and it could never be that he does not listen to me, but he puts his own spin on what I mean so that he can be seen in the best light.
Well, because of these two freaks I was so stressed that I actually took an incomplete in two classes Spring semester of 2008 and that pisses me off, because it made me have a ton of work to catch up on this summer as well as having to work my butt off to pay off some bills. Thanks to my job I paid of like 10 grand in debts this year and also ended up paying for my husband and I to go to Vegas, thankfully; but it was a rough summer trying to catch up.
There is of course a huge plus to 2008...my new niece Noelle Grace, born happy, healthy and beautiful on November 28 and my husband and I have been together or 11 years as of April 12, 2008 and married for 5 years as of September 13, 2008.
Anyway WOOHOO bring on 2009!!!!

im planning to go live in the UK for a bit at the end of the year and some of my friends are being really selfish
and mum is freaking out
and no one is looking at the bigger picture and seeing this is what i want to do and its my choice
i hate it when people dont understand me
On another positive note - I'll bet that Noelle is visibly bigger every time you see her. Isn't it a miracle? How much they can change in so little time. It's such a joy....
