Jon & Kate + 8 + other stuff

Okay. I'm just going to get this off my chest quickly. Jon & Kate Plus 8 has provided me with endless hours of entertainment, laughter, wanting to kidnap their kids (joking), and just good mushy happy feelings. But honestly, it is ruining their marriage and their family. They claim that everything they do is for their kids. Their show (also "for their kids") is ruining the structure of their family. Therefore, I think they should cut this show off immediately and just work on fixing their family. They should STOP doing publicity for their show/their book/themselves, they should STOP doing speaking engagements, and they should definitely STOP filming. And they should focus on their family and repairing their marriage. Kthx.

Also, Kourtney Kardashian is an idiot for dating Scott for as long as she has. He is clearly the shadiest guy of all time (perhaps second to Spencer Pratt, but that's a minor detail). Okay. Enough tv show talk.

Anyway. I feel like I've become really emotional lately, and I've had a hard time accepting all of my friendships and everything that is going on around me. I'm unsatisfied with a lot, and it's really bothering me. Both the fact that it bothers me, and the actual state of my friendships themselves. I can't decide if it's me overreacting and overanalyzing, or if there's really something wrong. I think I just need to kind of get away for awhile. I don't know if escaping is the right answer but that's all I really know. When I have problems, I pretend they don't exist for as long as I possibly can. Like, I don't even let myself think about them. I just completely push them out of my mind. But it gets to the point where it is now, which is where I can't ignore them any longer and I just get super emo and sad. I hate it. Mostly I just hate the fact that I have issues. I like to pretend that my life is perfect. Haaaaaaa. False.

Anyway, so I think I would like to get away for awhile but um, a few problems with that. 1) Where would I go by myself? Weird. 2) That would probably require a somewhat significant amount of money. The amount of money I have spent on clothes in the last two days is pretty much disgusting, so I'm attempting to not spend as much money right now. and 3) Pretty much #1 again. Haha. Seriously, where does one go to like, just get away? By themselves? The spa? Okay, that's like, half a day. I'm talking like... 2 days. So... a hotel? Boring? Any ideas?

In other news, it was really wonderful to hang out with some Westerville friends this weekend. I just haven't seen some of them in so long, and it was great to reconnect. We can always get together and act like we just saw each other yesterday, even though it's been months. That's one of the many reasons I love us. They're so dependable, in the sense that they are just so welcoming and consistent. And I can expect that every time. I love it :)

I also loved reconnecting with Shelley. Again, she's one of those friends that I can just not see for literally MONTHS, and then we can hang out and immediately talk for hours like no time has passed at all. We've definitely had our ups and downs... but like... there's something about her that I have never found in another friend. I can't exactly put my finger on it, but I know that I won't find it again. We are so incredibly different, but there's something about us that just... clicks. I don't know. It's kind of great. Anyway, I'm so glad that I am going to be going to school with her again (for the first time in 4 years!). I can't wait to meet her new friends and have her meet/hang out with Erin and Alyssa and all my new MAcc friends. AH yay just the thought of it puts a smile on my face :)

Basically, what this long post comes down to is the fact that 1) reality shows have consumed my life, 2) I have psychological issues, 3) I am looking for a way to get away, and 4) I love reconnecting with friends. The end.
