Open mouth and insert foot! November 23, 2009

This time I swear, I wasn’t the one needing to put my foot in my mouth!!! And it is nice for a change. I met up with one of my really good friends last night for dinner and drinks at one of our favorite restaurants. We decided to sit at the bar, and start with drinks. The bar tender walked up, asked what we wanted, and then asked for our ID’s. As he was looking at mine, he made the comment that I had a birthday coming up. I told him I knew, and sarcastically thanked him for reminding me. He laughed and said, “Well if it makes you feel any better, I just turned 2* this year, I was depressed about it, it was terrible!” Well, obviously this dipshit did not do his job and look at my date of birth, because I will be turning 2* this year as well. We were born in the same year. I responded with, “Well thanks, that makes it even better for me! Because that’s how old I will be turning!” He immediately started backtracking trying to make up for what he said. I know all about this back peddling, seeing as I often have to do this to make up for one of my asshole remarks. I guess he felt pretty bad about this, because when we got our margaritas, made with silver Patron, I couldn’t really tell a difference between the margarita and my water 😉 The strong drinks almost made up for his age comment.

Oh well… I guess at least I still look young enough to get ID-ed. And so begins the drinking season!

At least I didn’t make any asshole comments today! November 12, 2009

As previously mentioned, I have been tired and stressed as of late, some of my classes are in quarters and it is final time! When I get like this, my verbal filter is one the first auxiliary functions that suffers. This is quite unfortunate, especially because I have a big mouth, already struggle with thinking before blurting something out, and am one of the most sarcastic people I know.  I had said that in light of my comments to others in the past two days, I decided that until I get more sleep, it would be best for me to not really be around people. I was planning on getting some sleep last night, but sadly, it did not happen.

I had a final this morning, so I was at my desk studying last night. Everything was going swimmingly, and it looked like I was going to be able to get to bed a decent hour, i.e. before 2 AM, but then things took a turn for the worst. I have commented that I live in an apartment before and on how much I despise sharing walls with others(I Love Inconsiderate Asshats), and the event last night has further cemented my hatred of my living situation. I was happily (gross exaggeration, but whatever) studying at my desk when the man that lives in the apartment next to mine, sharing the same wall that my desk is on started yelling. “Get her on the fucking phone right fucking now!!!!” Then, “Where the fuck are you and what the fuck are you doing?!?!?!” Followed by a loud crashing noise, some more “Fuck”s and plenty of “Bitch!!!!!”es. Followed by more loud crashing and what sounded like rearranging of furniture. There were some dogs barking outside, not uncommon, but apparently these dogs were too much handle. I heard loud stomping, and then him yelling out of his balcony across the way to the dogs. “Fuck you! Shut the fuck up!!!!!!!!” He also threatened to kill them if they did not shut up. This continued for awhile, needless to say I was having a difficult time trying to concentrate, so I ended staying up much later than I wanted. But thankfully, the girl that was obviously not where she was supposed to be, did not come over to try to make things okay. I was scared that this was going to happen, and I was half expecting that I was going to be calling the cops to report a domestic dispute.

So, since I was still sleep deprived, when asked if I wanted to go to lunch today with some friends, I declined. The guy from yesterday was going to lunch as well, and there would have been no way I could have even feigned civility to him. So after class, I have pretty much secluded myself to avoid making any unnecessary comments. I absolutely have to get some sleep tonight though, because I am having to go to a wedding tomorrow! AKA I get to see a bunch of people that I have not seen in a long time, and I have to put on a happy face and pretend that I am so excited to see all of them that I actually care about what they are now doing with their lives. Ugh!!!

Oops! I did it again!

I have done it again, I have spoken without thinking. At least this time it was comical, in my opinion. In class today, we were given a handout to complete, and one of the questions on it was asking what antibiotic was commonly used for chlamydia. The guy sitting next to me always seems to enjoy annoying me, and often I am in no mood to deal with it. He was flipping through his notes saying that the answer was not in the notes. I was trying to do my work, and he was bugging me about the answers while I was trying to do my work. Very annoying to say the least. I ignored him, and he proceeded to ask me again about how we were supposed to answer something that was not in our notes. I have zero patience, and I turned to him and said, more loudly than I had intended, “I don’t know, why don’t you think back to the last time you had chlamydia and what the doctor prescribed for you then!” He didn’t think it was funny, at all, but the people in the two rows ahead of us and two rows behind us did 🙂 I am stressed, and I have been quite tired lately. I usually have better control over what comes out of my mouth. It is obvious that my filtering is slacking. I guess I will just need to not speak at all until I can get some more sleep and have the energy to work on filtering my speech. Haha, but with how much I talk and how opinionated  I am, that’s probably not going to happen.

I really need to think before I speak… November 11, 2009

I was late to class today, so I had to sit in an area where I do not normally sit, and I did not know any of the people around me. A girl sitting in front of me turned around to talk to the girls sitting next to me. She looked at me as she turned, and told me I had really pretty eyes, that they were such a pretty color. She then proceeded to ask if they were real or contacts. I think it would be appropriate to mention that I was wearing my glasses. As you can see, these are not glasses that you can look at and not really notice, they do stand out from the rest of my face. Well, being the type of person that often responds before thinking about what I am going to say, I respond by saying, “Why would I be wearing contacts and glasses at the same time?” Immediately after saying that, I realized what I had said, to a stranger paying me a compliment. I tried to cover up my asshole comment by making up a story about someone I knew that did just that. I proceeded to compliment her on her accessories and introduce myself. Honestly, sometimes I am such an ass. But I truly don’t mean to be an ass. I just have a word vomit problem, as soon as something pops into my head, I say it. Unfortunately, this has gotten me in PLENTY of trouble in the past. I have been told on more than one occasion by more than one person that John Mayer’s “My Stupid Mouth” song was written about me. But luckily, I saved myself today. We got into a conversation at the end of class about our computers, we have the same one, and we parted on nice terms.
