My eyelids are practically stuck together. I'm tired.
Tired of packing, tired of thinking about packing and tired of thinking about thinking about packing (don't ask!). So I figured ... why not take a break from all this packing business and update you all on the other parts of my life.
Lastnight I recieved a call from a good friend of mine who has convinced himself that this year, as a new years resolution, he's going to vito his respect for women and basically treat them like dogs - 'bitches' to be precise. I'm not sure why he felt the need to tell me this, seeing as I fall into the 'women' catagory but it tickled my curiosity so of course, I had to ask why?
The answer was simple - He was sick of being hurt.
This mad me sad. Naturally I wanted to ask him about what happened, or how he came to this decision - but seeing as he is a guy I knew it would be like trying to get blood from a stone. No self respecting man would sit on the phone like a blubbering idiot and pour his heart out, specially to a girl. He might as well hand his testicles over and put on a dress!
So there I was, 12am this morning listening to him bark on and on about this and that and all I could think of was - "what a waste of energy!" I mean, come on! Focus that anger and hate toward something more positive, why waste it on ranting about things or people we can't change? Of course, I didn't share these thoughts with him - although I really should have as it would probably have given me extra hours of sleep!!
People get hurt, it's just the way it is. I know that seems like a harsh reality, but it's the truth. I find it hard to believe that there could be someone out there who can genuinly say they've never, ever been hurt once - weather it be from a realtionship, family, friends, work etc. It's sad I know, but as humans we are prone to be defective in some way or another - the true test is how we choose to deal with it.
Like my poor friend, who seems to think that 'an eye for an eye' is the best way to handle his situation - which of course is stupid because then it will become a vicious cycle and he'll end up hurting some poor unsuspecting girl and who'll end up doing the same to some unsuspecting guy and it'll start all over again!
There is no intelligent insight here, sorry for those who were waiting for one because to this day I have no idea either how to handle such hurt. I can say 'move on' and hope like hell the person that hurt you has their karma come back around, but it's always easier said than done. Who knows, if we're lucky maybe one day a broken hearted scientist will invent a pill to help us deal with it - but until then, we'll just have to take each pain as it comes.
I wish I paid more attention in science ...

Wow! What a full on evening you had! Sad to say, your friend has to learn for himself I suppose. I'm sure he will, but hopefully without hurting many in the process.
