Drama King
Wow, I just don’t know where to begin. I feel like the center of so much that it isn’t even funny, yet most of it isn’t me, but to be fair, everyone has some drama, and I’m no exception.
So let’s be good and start with my personal drama (since it is my blog after all). As most of you know, I’ve been separated (almost 3 months now) with 9 months to go befotre the divorce is final. So, I’m trying to make the best of it, and move forward with my life. We’ve filed the separation agreement, so we’re both just biding our time until the year NC makes us wait is up. It’s getting less awkward to see her as time goes on, but if my past history is any indication, it will take some time to be fully over it (referencing the 2003 issues I had with the bowling alley). Dated someone for a little while shortly after the separation (my rebound girl if you will). Of course it didn’t work out, due to issues on both our parts, but I still talk to her as a friend. I’ve been single since then, and that’s where the drama begins, a tale of three girls. Let’s call them A, M, and T. I’ve known A since high school and she still lives in my home state. She is recently divorced, and is going through a lot of the same emotional turmoil I am (on top of her own business I won’t discuss here). Well, I’ve always liked A, and I have no problem letting her know that. But we’re both too far away from each other for one, and she’s not ready for a relationship at this point in time (which she’s been very clear about). And then there’s T. Very young and likes me to no end, but I don’t feel the same about her. I’m only friends with her and I’m not looking for anything with her, but she has a hard time understanding that. And then there’s M, the enigma. Grapevine says she would like to know more about me, and I’d like to know more about her (of course passed back on the grapevine), but our shyness has not made it easy (damn shyness, why must you haunt me so). So I’m trying to break out of my shell, at almost 30. Not an easy task in any way, but one I’m trying to take upon myself.
And then there’s the house hunting. I’ve been trying to purchase the house of a friend’s ex, K. Long story short, he’s going to lose the place if it’s not sold soon, so I figured we could help each other out. Well, I submitted the original offer through my realtor, and K’s father got involved, basically sinking the whole deal (this has been 2 weeks running). Well, after some time, and some negotiating with K’s father, and due to my being involved, my realtor dumped me last weekend, as she felt she couldn’t work for my best interests. OK, so I redid all the numbers (since I’m now saving 2.5% commission), and sent the numbers to K’s father. Well, long story short, he’s an ass and can’t respond on time to anything. But, it looks like things may go through on that one.
And then to complicate matters, there is a slew of other drama surrounding me which I’m not going to even get into, as much as I want to rant about it. I just wonder if it’s worth it some days.
