This was filmed (not by me) at Amanda's concert at the Culture Room we attended last night. :)
SHE KICKED ASS!
(and kissed me, by the way! Sure I had to ask but hey! A kiss is a kiss)

People...You Suck. Mostly.
Mini rant time!
So, one of the guys at work is having a 50th birthday party at his house on an upcoming Saturday. I was invited to come along but as John works till 10 pm and I really wouldn't go without him I'm not going to go. I said thanks but no thanks. They know why, too. It's not like I'm not up-front about my antisocial tendencies.
But the arguments and the incredulity begin; "But you know US, you can come 'cause it's US" "You LIKE us, it's not strangers, it's US"
I'm really very sorry people. I may like you (most of you) but I wouldn't hang out with any of you outside of work on any kind of regular basis. I like you, you are basically nice people but that DOES NOT exempt you from my antisocial shit. People always think THEY are the special ones, they are the ones I will want to hang out with - they never believe that I could include them in my "I DON'T LIKE HANGING OUT WITH ANYONE" routine. Just because I like you doesn't mean I want to be around you. :P
John is special, he's the only one who is exempt from this. Even my family is subject to it.
It's not like I am being elitist or picky or putting you down if I don't love spending time with you - I'm also very aware that it's no prize to spend time with me. I'm just saying I don't like spending time with people. It is very rare that a person will come along that is an exception to that rule.
So stop being surprised.
Then they go on and on about it and I end up feeling like a shit because I don't want to go to the party. Now I'm some big asshole who "hates" them and thinks I'm too good to hang out with them.
FUCK YOU, DICKS. THIS IS WHY I DON'T LIKE PEOPLE.
You can never be comfortable and just be who you are without feeling like a shit for it. I always have to worry that I am hurting people's feelings or I am letting someone down or that I am annoying them in some way.
Because the way I am makes it soooo much worse, you see. I worry. I WANT people to like me so I worry that they are angry, or disappointed or think I'm stupid. That's why it is so FUCKING EXHAUSTING to be around people. I'm always disappointing someone or feeling guilty for not doing what they want.
So oddly - I am antisocial because I like people too much?
I feel better now, having typed this rant. Did I mention I have my period? :P

Sunday. Breakfast, Rich Old People and Laziness.
So, I really, really should be cleaning the house right now but I am feeling so damn lazy. I suppose the house won't get clean this week. I will have to do the dishes and go to Publix at least, le sigh.
Anyways, went to breakfast with Mom and some family up in Boynton Beach. I swear if you have to be old, be rich. If you are rich and old - live in Boynton Beach!
This development our relatives live in is huge and they have a fancy country club with an awesome buffet brunch on Sundays. They also have a dinner restaurant in there. When my Mom said "They have a restaurant right in their clubhouse and we are going to eat there." I totally thought it would be like those halfway decent hotels that have that shitty breakfast buffet in the mornings, you know? Where the bacon is all burnt and greasy at the same time and everything makes you feel a bit sick.
Not at all the case! I was so pleasantly surprised. There was a huge room with all these tables that reminded me of the restaurant in "Dirty Dancing". The buffet was enormous with every kind of brunchy food you could think of to eat and all of it delectable! If I lived there I would gain 50 pounds in a year, lol.
There were even food sculptures! A mermaid and a swan. I've never been anywhere there were food sculptures, I was totally amazed. Kind of makes me sad to have grown up without money. I am feeling extra poor today but still happy I got to experience a nice place.
