I actually liked "Rent"

Okay, so I know where Amber is coming from in her review of the movie "Rent." See whifflypuff.blogspot.com for her thoughts. But, I actually went to see it a second time without Amber and I now think it's really good. I think you just need to be aware that there are 525,600 songs in "Rent." Once you've prepared yourself for all that music, you can actually enjoy the movie. I even bought the new soundtrack. I got the "Mark" cover.

3 weeks on since Rudey McRudester

Alright, so it's been 3 weeks since my "friend" came in to the store where I work and tried to give me 1,000 Chinese cookie fortunes about my life. I've never done this in my life, and I hope to never have to do it again, but I decided to dump this friend 11 days after she said all of this. She called my house at 8:22 am on Monday, November 7th. Yes, the Monday before the new Kate Bush album came out (which is AWESOME, by the way.) So, I let the machine get it. And, then I called her back at 9:30 and specifically addressed the issues I had with her (see my last post.) After about a half an hour of going back and forth on how we've been misunderstanding each other, I finally decided to say, "Why don't we just cool it for a while?" She definitely got the message that I didn't want to be friends anymore, but of course, she had to turn it into an issue where I was just too troubled and complex to be a good friend. Oh, well, however she needs to interpret it. I'm just glad to have her out of my life.

Someone did something mean to me

Somebody who I've only known for 8 months and have only hung out with a few times did the most obnoxious thing to me last Friday. She came into the store where I work and lectured me for 20 minutes on how I should stop being so complacent and get a higher-paying job. I have never complained about my life to her nor have I ever asked for her advice. She just stood there and gave it to me for about 20 minutes. On top of that, on more than one occasion she has felt the need to tell me that she doesn't like my friend who works at the same store that I work at. This friend she criticizes has been my friend for at least 6 years. I just can't believe how rude some people can be. This rude person will also be calling me this week to tell me the details of her house-warming party which will be next Monday night, the night before the new Kate Bush album comes out. Like I'm going to deliberately spend time with this person, and on the night before the new Kate Bush album comes out??? I don't think so.
