There's a guy
There’s this guy. There might be something. He’s coming to visit me for 8 days.I really don’t know what I could possibly do to entertain him for 8 days. I’m not that interesting. And, at the beginning of something, it’s a huge risk to commit to 8 consecutive days without knowing if I’m interesting enough. Or if he’s interesting enough.
We’ve already gone through small disagreements just trying to organize this thing. (Maybe that's a warning?) As the host, I know I’m supposed to know where to bring him and what to eat, etc. But, Vancouver’s actually pretty boring! Other than the nice views, which will lose their impact on day 3, there’s really nothing in Vancouver. Plus, on top of all that, he’s been to Vancouver. So, really, I’m screwed!
On top of trying to figure out if this guy’s good for me and vice versa, I have now stressed myself out so much that I’m starting to get sick. That’s just peachy! So now I’m going to be stressing over being entertaining while battling the flu!
I don’t think I’m supposed to be this stressed out before a relationship. I don’t think I’ve been this nervous about a friend visiting. I'm freaking out.
I just really don’t want to disappoint people. I can’t deal with disapproval.
Now I’m too stressed out to figure out if I like the guy, which should’ve been an easy thing to do.
And if I decide that I like this guy a lot, then what? He doesn’t even live in the same city! I’ve done long-distance and I know that I personally can’t handle it. I end up hating people for not being here.
Wow I haven’t blogged in a long time. So much to vent. I haven’t even gotten to the little boy who won’t stop calling me…

Should I be jealous? ;-?
I assume from the fact that you're still talking about not liking the long-distance thing that you're not dating. Under that assumption:
What the fuck are you doing? 8 days... with a guy you aren't dating yet... where you live... I'll start with those?
EIGHT FUCKING DAYS!?!?!?? I've broken up over THREE. That might be a lot of time... especially...
Does HE know you're not dating? Do YOU know you're not dating? Yet? What ... I can't even word this, and I talk for a living. How did you come to be spending 8 days with a guy you don't know well enough to know if it can work before you set this up? Whose idea was this?
You're not doing this on a vacation, or on a cruise, but where you live? So, he's going to get maximum access to YOUR past, and you get dick... literally I guess... about him? And he's going to know where you LIVE?
I start by telling you this is a bad idea, and doomed to disaster. That said: You're in Vancouver. In the fall. You can go for some hiking. I know there are skating rinks there. There are a few monuments. Somebody has to be playing some sort of sport there... hockey, for instance. Look at a travel guide. Have you asked what he wants to do? What about making him come along with whatever you're doing - assuming you're doing something at this point? What about scheduling some time for him to spend exploring on his own? You're sick? Puke on him. That should give him something to do for a while. Watching you people flailing is proving highly amusing.
See the movie "the Big Hit." It's about not wanting to disappoint people. And it's funny. And it has the Voodoo Glow Skulls on the soundtrack. Good cast. Asian school girl outfit. Lots of shooting people. Good movie all around.
BTW, The Departed is spectacular. I rarely say that about a movie. It has dropkick murphies on the soundtrack, the story is good, the ending is great, the acting is great. I didn't even hate Dicrappio that much, and Matt Damon's character DIED!!! Makes me happy.
You're crude when you're jealous, G. I was actually hoping for optimistic helpful advice... but knowing you...
What the heck are you doing breaking up with someone over 3 days? You mean the entire relationship lasted THREE DAYS?!?!? No wonder you're not a relationship person.
Did you know The Departed was adapted from a Hong Kong movie? I watched the original as well as the American version. Even though the subtitles were confusing, the movie was very interesting. It's more glossy and pretty . Less gruesome. Entirely different feel.
It has a different ending, so you might not like that. But, if you're open to foreign movies, you should give that a try.
Actually, the relationship lasted years. It broke up because of three days of close-proximity. Two people who needed their space and couldn't get away from each other... I got stabbed. It was funny, actually...
Have you seen the John Woo pile of Hong Kong movies? Better tomorrow, better tomorrow 2, assassin, hard boiled (hard boiled is one of the greatest movies ever made - everyone dies except the babies, every gunshot explodes).
It's nosey to ask, but I'm curious about where the guy is going to stay for 8 days.
He has family around here
... and PB has a very large bed...
Hahaha nice, G. I'm actually not liberated where that stuff's concerned.
Not liberated...? That's kinky.
I'm tired of trying to be funny. I have to pretend to be a judge tomorrow.
no need to get sick over it... he should be happy just watching a movie on the couch with you - end of story
hell, antigua is boring as hell and i make the best of it
Yes, but we've already established that YOU have loose morals and an unfailing willingness to impose suffering on others...
Antigua is a vacation destination... you realize that, right? http://www.antiguanice.com/ por ejemplo...
As I mentioned earlier EIGHT FUCKING DAYS!?!??! That's a longass movie... and bedsores on yer ass.
My morals are JUST FINE!
I am assuming this coincides with recycling, and dammit - a girl has needs.
If I were a man you'd probably be patting me on the back and offering me a brewsky.
I would also like to point out the dealing with TB which ended happily though hurtfully, and morals were kept (and recycling would DEFINITLY be an option - thank you).
:) that is all carry on
Actually, no I wouldn't be patting you on the back. I am dealing with exactly that issue with another friend of mine right now, and giving him the same shit.
He apparently found a girl to have sex with who is so heinous he can't bring her around for us to see... I'm thinking too many limbs or something.
Your morals are just fine the way my career is just fine... a matter of excessively rosy interpretation or really lucky circumstance.
