I left there with a whole new perspective on friendship, boundaries and loyalty. All which will at some point in my life come to good use. All i'm saying is people will surprise you greatly when you least expect. If I had to choose between never seeing someone's true colors and seeing them, I choose the latter. No matter how much it hurts me, I'd rather hurt then be a fool.
I wish so badly that I could blog in detail about the biggest event that happened that weekend, because it would make a good story, but out of respect to my best friend, that definitely won't be written about. Both for privacy and because it wasn't a "funny" story, but a hurtful one that hurt my friends and effected them, so we'll move on.
I got to say that there is a MAJOR difference in how the men here work and the men in Miami (hispanics to be specific). How the fuck am I supposed to know a guy likes me unless he just comes out and says it. I mean, he will invite you out, dinner, concerts, drinks, with friends, will hold your hand, be sweet, call you, will NEVER make a move or say anything but will "show" it. My sister-in-law Cristina says he is courting me. I'm sure my mother would be oh so delighted to know a young man is courting her daughter instead of just trying to get to 3rd base, and in that case I greatly appreciate it. But my point is, fine! Don't make a move, that is respectful and i'm enjoying it since most men in Miami are not like that, but at least let me know...don't you agree? Let me know you like me, let me know your interested or something to put us on the same page so I don't feel like I'm wasting my time, though it seems i'm not. I understand the guys here have a more, passive (for lack of another word) method to dating a girl, i'm just not used to it AT ALL.
Anyways, i did get promoted on thursday to supervisor at my job. Hoorah !! that was pretty sweet. A little bit of a raise and of position of course.
Hopefully i'll get a promotion in the other aspects of my life...GRR. We'll see.
I did attend the Take Back Labor Day concert with Mr. Won'tMakeAMove. It was real good... There was a mix of hippies, extremists, the norms and people like me just there for the music. I got to say, Mr. WontMakeAMove's friend had a shirt with a pic of Bush and Hitler, and it said, "same shit. differect asshole"
That gave me my laugh for the day.

Well let me tell you that I was told a complete different story of what really happened that weekend. You know what I'm talking about. Plus everything else that happened this week just completely threw me off balance. I must say I completely agree with you on the fact that you have a whole new perspective on friendship, boundaries and loyalty. I also agree on the fact that I rather hurt than be a fool.
Anyway...CONGRATS on your promotion =)
it's not the best way to get that perspective, unfortunately, but yes, i'd rather be in the know. It hurts and it makes you think back to so many times, but it is what it is...and we must deal with it accordingly and move on. And thank you, i'm so happy !! And i really like my job so its a great promotion to have he he xoxo
