Absent Fridge Home Miss

Stayed overnight at my parent's house (car still non-operative) and missing my fridge I'm having to make due with an ever-so-boring horoscope entry from Yahoo.

There's a lot going on in your life right now that your friends and family don't know about -- and they should! Make an effort today to widen your intimacy circle and bring more people into it. This can be easily done with a mass email. Your people may have inspiring words for you -- and you may inspire them to open their lives up a bit more. You hold the missing piece in a puzzle someone you love is working on. Today reconnect with your loved ones and share yourself.

Yeah. Tell my family?? I don't think so. They know about my career (they're probably sick of hearing about that) and my car problems and my ongoing plumbing nightmare, and practically every other detail in my life. Anything that's left (mostly stupid unrealistic romantic wishes) is personal, private property. (Not like any of them know my blog address!!) So much for horoscopes.

Over the past few days I've been reconsidering a situation. I think I made a mistake in the spring. I let my ego and my false expectations get between me and someone who has the power to make a difference in my life. Someone who mildly injured my pride, and (as a result) whose friendship I didn't think I needed. Yesterday I made a premeditated effort to regain lost ground. We're going to try the friendship thing again. I don't know if we can make that work or not, but I have to at least try.

Must face it, I suck at friendship. I invest too much, and hope for too much, and get disappointed when no one ever calls. This is real life, not my best friend from junior high. People don't want what I have to offer, and people certainly don't want to respond in kind. Must get over this, and let friendships be what they are.
