Same Old Rain

For all my optimism, gloomy days still hover over me sometimes. I try my best to be chipper about it and think of how I've overcome much worse, but when you're smack dab in the middle of things, it's kind of hard to ignore.

It doesn't help that the weather is being erratic and is now in one of its coldest points in the day so far. It could have been early evening, but really, it's only noon. A lot of good that does to my already cloudy disposition.

My day thus far: woke up and my hair was back to its frizzy and unruly self after having been trimmed and treated yesterday; talked with a couple of friends online whom I haven't seen for a long ass time -- one was a very close friend, and the other one I kinda sorta liked but didn't really do anything about; got shot down by someone for being honest with my preferred role in bed.

More about my hair: I shouldn't have had it trimmed yesterday. I should have waited until I got money so I'd be able to have it relaxed again, or straightened out permanently. Now I have to wait six more months to have it return to the way it was. I can't even do a thing about it now except put it under a cap always -- which would be a problem since I'd be starting work on Wednesday and a cap in the office isn't really very appropriate. Bad bad bad move.

My two long lost friends, now found: They're both wonderful people and I'm glad I got to talk with them again. One of them took me in when I didn't feel like going home for a while, and the other one I thought of as... well... someone I really like. I might still like him actually. But because of various things I wouldn't enumerate anymore, I don't think I'll act upon it any time soon. Or ever. But it's really better this way. And I'm glad I'm in touch with both of them again.

The last one: I'm still not quite sure why I'm affected. I shouldn't be, since I don't really like-like him. I was beginning to, but I'm not stepping over that line yet. Maybe I'm disappointed. Not because he didn't like me anymore after finding out we're "not compatible," but rather, because I thought he was something more than I thought he was. Turns out he's EXACTLY as I thought he was. And to him I say, "If you can't see past that, you won't see the best in anyone."

There. I sure hope the rest of the week unfolds more beautifully.
