Inside My Head

Random Thoughts From The Soup

I've been watching Grey's Anatomy and there are the most interesting one liners in that show. Some of them got me thinking. McDreamy said at one point that '...it [was] too early to translate girl flip out into normal conversation...'. That is the attitude of so many guys! They can't be bothered translating our emotional explosions into common sense. They just get frustrated and give up.

The fact that i even try to understand stupid sports to please someone should mean more than the fact that i get confused. So a try is worth 5 points, a conversion worth 2 and a penalty worth 3... when i forget that, it shouldn't matter, because i tried, i wanted to remember! The fact that i know that Kaspar Shmichael is the blonde goalie for Manchester City should count for something. The fact that i sit through game after game for you should mean that my asking questions about what a league is, or not understanding about all of the different teams is ok. I really don't know anything about sports. So you should be happy that i care enough to bother.

More Grey's quotes - '...there is a land called "Passive Aggressiva" and you are their queen...' i think this would be an interesting land to rule. Being passive agressive either requires a great deal of ignorance, as is often the case with males, or a lot of manipulation and scheming, often employed by females. It does keep things interesting.

And another... "...i can't think when his hand is on your boob!" So male. There's nothing more to say. One guy i know simply has a fixation. This would sum him up completely. We were playing air-hockey and he blamed every goal that i got on the fact that i was bending over and therefore 'distracting' him. If you're lying together, he'll suddenly zone out and when you ask him what's up, he dazedly says 'my hand touched your boob' - and you didn't even notice. Funniest thing? They think comments like 'heya nice boobs' are suave... Hopeless!

Leaving things to the last moment (re: uni work) is irresponsible, stressful and very detrimental. But apparently, leaving things to the last minute is the only way i get things done. I have SO MUCH reading to do before uni starts up again and i have a huge assignment due tuesday that i've not started, plus two more due the week after... and i'm starting to get stressed. I'm going to miss a week with kids club next week - stupid uni holidays not overlapping - so will have even more to catch up on, plus lots of early mornings to watch the lectures i'm missing... uni is really just one big stress and a 'break' really isn't much of a break!

One last Grey's quote - "...[when it happened to you] i never once said that you'd be better off without him. That's not supportive, that's condescending." This is so true. There are times when i can accept a little bit of an 'i told you so' from certain people, who are trying to say that they were trying to look out for me. But on the whole, people who say that they saw something coming (when they obviously didn't) or that they knew it would end badly (but didn't feel the need to truly persuade me of such things at the time) just annoy me. Being supportive would mean letting me talk and talk and talk about it, and coming up with something that will make me feel better, no matter how hard it is. Rather than saying 'it'll all be ok' - which is also incredibly annoying.

Summer Heights High grows on you. Four weeks in and i'm getting into it. Even though we watched half of it on mute tonight and turned off the second half all together, seeing at PB's parentals weren't a suitable audience. Funniest line to date? 1. Just breathe. 2. I am! Sounds like nothing. But the delivery? Priceless. Jonah = classic. High praise when i usually don't find these silly shows amusing.

Work is fun - but i really would rather sleep tomorrow morning. Seeing as i've been there at some point, for at least a few hours on tuesday and today, as well as most of tomorrow and friday and sunday... fun, but tiring.

A muscle in my neck just spasmed and tightened and pained me! Ouch.

I miss people. Even when someone is around, it's possible to miss them. I hate the way that i can miss someone who's with me. But do you know what i mean? You can miss a certain level of closeness that you once had. And you can miss the comfortable way that it was. And you can miss everything. You can also miss people who are overseas. Which everyone is :P Missing people is just ick, ick, ick. ICK.

I'm tired and i have another 20 pages to highlight before i can get to bed... damn!
