slight

I am now an official employee of the video store. It is SO FUCKING BORING. I worked an eight hour shift on Wednesday, and most of the time I just stood there, doing nothing. Hardly anyone came in. And the next time I get to work is Sunday, another incredibly slow day. My fellow employees tell me that it'll pick up as it gets closer to Christmas. IT'S AUGUST!

I just like to complain. It isn't that bad. Money is money, right?

So, I met up with the old boyfriend yesterday. We broke up about two years ago. I kinda thought it'd gotten to the point where we could hang out and he wouldn't hit on me, but he apparently thought it was a date. He's so afraid of being alone. He wants someone to be with all of the time, someone to make him happy. When we were going out he told me that he wanted to make me happy. If you're unhappy with your life, with who you are, dating someone isn't going to help. If you aren't content with yourself, you'll never be happy no matter who you're dating. Or married to. I guess that's why so many marriages end in divorce.

I don't need someone to make me happy. I'm perfectly capable of doing it on my own. It's just sad that he's so unhappy with himself. If I really liked him, and was willing to make the effort, I could encourage him to make his life better. But I'm having enough trouble getting my own life in order.
