The past 5 days have been the largest conflict of emotions ever. The weekend was a barrel of laughs and good times, but the past two days have been bubbling over with happiness, stress, sadness and selfishness. It's enough to make a girl go mental..
Friday:
I went to college, up at 6am blah blah the usual. I got home at about 1pm from that, went home and prepped to go over to my friend Jayne's place, cause she was feeling a bit sad, and we wanted to have a girly weekend. So like I said I would I text Jayne and see if she's ready for me to come over and she tells me that Evan is there - Evan is Alex's brother, a mutual friend of ours - and that they're going to have a little chat so would I mind waiting? I told her I didn't and that she should just message me in some way when she's ready, as I settled back to watch Las Vegas while I waited.
She texted me about half an hour later posing the idea of a little shopping trip - Evan coming with us of course - just to kill a little bit of time and to get a few essentials for the night ahead (tissues, wine, the basics xD). So I went over there immediately - already being packed and waiting as I was - and we just sat at her house talking for a bit, then all three of us headed out to Strathpine shops and just made our way around for a bit. Evan offered to pay for us to see a movie, but we declined in the way to go to North Lakes Dan Murphy's to pick up some wine. We also went to Big W to get tissues and the like.
So after that we headed back to Jayne's, with the wine, tissues, fudge and chips that we'd bought xD And by this time, the time we get back, it's about dinner time, so we ponder what we should have for a while, and eventually we decided that we had enough junk food to act as our dinner. Evan left shortly after that.
After Evan left Jayne and I debated to try and kidnap Lynnette, which we did end up doing. Then we watched what is possibly the most random movie I have ever seen. It's called The Onion Show or something like that. It was funny as hell though. And all the while the three of us are drinking wine and eating fudge xD
So after the movie we just decided (I don't recall how the decision came about) to put some music on and dance. Now we did this for a great many hours, and all I really remember that in the process we:
~ broke a glass onto Jayne's carpet rug, rolled up the rug and put it outside.
~ invited Alex over, who ended up staying the night and brought chocolate vodka.
~ tried to teach Alex to dance, quite unsuccessfully.
~ tried krumping, as shown to us by Chad on webcam before xD
~ had a huge bundle of fun.
We had so much fun that night, I'm not even quite sure how it ended up being that Alex came over xD I do remember Jayne calling him a cheeseburger at one point xD We finished it off by all laying on the floor on the mattresses, Jayne and I laying together, and Alex laying comfortably laying over Lynnette's leg with his head resting on her arse and watching Chicago. Gosh that was a good movie. And oh my goodness it was hilarious. Lynnette fell asleep during the movie, and when Alex shuffled to get more comfortable she put her other leg across him. Of course he didn't complain but oh we laughed for a long time. So after that Jayne went to bed and Lynnette had moved to the couch, so Alex and I fell asleep on the floor after talking for a while and an incident where my poking his leg with my toe, almost went a bit too far up the leg xD Ahhh fun drunken times.
Saturday:
Lynnette had work at 12pm, and Alex had to leave at around 11/12ish to go get ready for work also, so Alex set his phone alarm for 10am. We ended up waking each other up (Alex, Lynnette and I) when Lynnette's phone rang at about 8:30. Apparently - and completely contrary to what we thought - Lynnette started work that day at 8:30, not 12. So she quickly rang her workplace to confirm, and it was true so she ran home (she lives about 5 minutes away from Jayne) to get to work in a hurry.
After that, Alex and I tried to get back to sleep for another hour or so, but that didn't really work too well so we just lay around talking, being comfortable, playing with Marsypan (Jayne's dog) and poking. Alex then eventually rang his brother to come pick him up (Alex doesn't have his licence) so that he could get ready for work. His brother took about half an hour to arrive, so until then we just talked. Eventually (half an hour later by estimate) Evan arrived and took Alex away, so it was just me and Marsypan.
I just lay there playing with the dog for a while, waiting for Jayne to wake up, but instead I just ended up putting on Scrubs season 7 (which I had bought the day before when we went shopping with Evan) and just watching that until she woke up.
When she finally did, we just lazed around watching it and she had a little nap and stuff before we both officially got up xD We went and made a sandwich, watched the rest of Scrubs season 7, Jayne did stuff on her comp for a while - MSN and the like - while I helped by packing up the mattresses and cleaining up the food packets and empty bottles etc for her before I left to go to Paul's. I offered to help with the carpet I broke (yes it was my fault) on, but she said just to leave it, so I had a shower and left.
Now Paul was at Bribie Island visiting family Friday night/most of Saturday, so when I pulled up (I had my window down) he came running out and literally tried to climb in through my window xD It was so cute I missed him so much. I was so happy to see him xD Now all through this I was extremely hungover and feeling sleepy (we actually didn't go to bed until about 5am that morning, so waking up at 8:30 was a bit harsh), so we just hung out in his room watching things until I was finally so sleepy I wanted a nap.
Now this was at roughly 6/6:30pm. I think the first time I woke up it was 10pm, but by this time Paul was curled up behind me so I just rolled over, and fell back asleep cuddling him. Next time I woke up it was 4:30am-ish. By that time I'd slept for 10 hours or so and couldn't sleep anymore, neither of us could, so we just got up and stayed up xD
Sunday:
We just talked and watched things on TV and cuddled until about 7ish, when we went and cooked breakfast - which was really the dinner we had prepped for the night before but didnt eat cause we slept - and then we had a mini nap while cuddling.
Now we actually made an effort to get up at 11/11:30 cause it was the day that he was meeting my parents. Meaning both of us were having lunch with them. Lasagne was the plan, and we just sat around talking to them for a while before retreating to my room and watching movies.
My parent's liked him, which I was happy about. He lent my brother (and my mother by default but he didn't know this) Gears of War on 360 and now they're addicted, so he's won my mum over, and Dad seemed to like him so all is well.
Monday:
I worked. That's about all I did with my day. But that night - after massaging the client I had - I went back over to Paul's to stay the night cause we had a day of fun planned to make up for us not doing anything last week on our actual anniversary =]
But that night something happened, I'm kind of unable to explain it properly. As far as I can clearly remember, Evan (Alex's brother) had just randomly driven off (and fast) from their house, saying "I fucked it up". His destination? Jayne's house. Now that set Alex right off. Because apparently he has reasons not to trust Evan - but nothing too bad or anything womanising, I asked - and so the fact that he had just gone off to Jayne's worried him. It worried Chad (another mutual friend) too. I was just talking to Jayne but somehow I became mediator for their worries for I was the only one Jayne was replying to.
So anyway, I was actually up until about 1:30am trying to help them piece together what was going on and reassuring them that nothing was wrong, they were just talking, cause the next day was the 22nd, her anniversary with her now ex, so she needed company and Evan needed someone to talk to after what happened (which we found out in the end was a fight with his best mate). But anyway. I finally went to bed satisfied that she was alright and after convincing two worried males of that point.
Tuesday:
Today. Meant to be Paul and I's special day out turned to nightmare. We woke up on time, we worked out what we were going to do, we went out, all was going well. We were having fun. We went to EB Games, got Paul's special edition pack of Halo 3:ODST which came out today, and he needed a new hard drive for his computer which we went to Brendale to get before we went to Morayfield Shopping Centre.
So like I said, we got his copy of ODST, and were on our way for me to do my bit of girly shopping (I needed new bras what can I say?), he had stopped at Allphones to get credit and stuff, I had checked out Game on my way past, and we had caught up again at Bras N Things. He managed to last a whole 10 minutes, I was so proud xD Then I carried on shopping on my own (in that store, it makes him nervous, it was so cute xD).
But anyway, I'm in the store, in the middle of trying one on when a distressed Alex calls me. Now normally Alex and I resort to phone calls only if the amount to be communicated is too much. So he rings, and I answer, and he's angsty again because once again Evan is over at Jayne's house, and Alex is feeling more and more like Jayne is replacing him with his brother, because Evan has the resources to be there (meaning he can drive) if he's needed, and I can understand that. When I asked Jayne about it, she said that "he makes me happy" and that "he's being silly".
Now Alex wasn't being silly, it was how he reacted to the situation and in my opinion that is never silly, it's human. I managed to close off my part as messenger between the two of them and get them to talk about it (and that took the entire day out and a bit of conversation on MSN to do in the end -sigh-). But in the process I effectively neglected Paul on our special day out =[ And apparently there was a special dinner surprise as part of it, so I told Jayne (who I had rescheduled my massage to go and check up on) that I felt terrible for neglecting him, cause this day was special to us and yet I'd spent all day effectively trying to help sort out her crap with Alex for her, so I'd be staying at his place and having dinner with him.
Well, she didn't take that well. I didn't realise that it would hurt her so much that I would want to spend time with my boyfriend considering how I didn't really on the day out that we'd arranged, instead spending most of my time helping her out...-sigh- but I stuck to it, I never did go over there. It didn't make me feel the best doing that to her, but I had to make it up to Paul. Especially since working out all her stuff (or trying to) ruined our happy day out...
So we had our lovely dinner and watched some CSI. It's getting really interesting. It bored me at first.
Anyway. Bed time I think.
Geez this post is massive.
