better friends

Well, I feel sick.

Not sick sick I guess. Just showing symptoms. My nose is runny and it hurts, so I’ve turned into a mouth breather today. My throat is still killing me although I can be understood when I talk. But I have to clear my throat to answer the phone. My head feels stuffy and about once an hour I have one of those horrible flemmy coughs. I hope I don’t make anyone else sick.

I am pretty proud of myself though before I crashed last night I hung both maid dresses and yukata. Each dress is about 7 different pieces so it can be quite an ordeal.

Y’know there is a girl who thinks of me as (one of her?) her best friends, but I realize, I feel no such attachment or loyalty. In fact, she kinda bugs me. She is a convert to the church and has it all. She goes where she wants, she picks up work when and where she likes, she travels the world and make tons of money doing…nothing. She has no marketable skills and isn’t a very reasonable or tempered young lady with communication skills. She’s one of those beautiful brunet girls with black cars and nice stereos she doesn’t know how to work. She loves sushi and movies and always bugs me to hang out with her when ever she is in town.

What really bothers me, is that every time she IMs me (at lightning speed I might add), she asks me if anything new is going on. I have to say no.
Do I still have that job?
Yes.
How is it going?
It sucks, still.
Oh and how is that movie thing?
It failed- a long time ago.
Oh….well I was in Bali last week. I was thinking about becoming a script editor and my old boss magically set up a date where I could shadow one of the top producers in LA and so I wanted to know if you want to go out and get SUSHI?! Oh yeah, and I dumped my latest boyfriend. He was just too in love with me. I mean, seriously, who gives out diamond earrings on a first date after meeting on the internet? He wasn’t hot enough anyway.

Now she’s living in Sandiego after having toured Switzerland but she has no job but dating a wonderful guy. I realize what I’m saying sounds really shallow. Being jealous of someone who is more carefree and naturally successful with limited to no work is a classic failing and to feel like she’s rubbing her lifestyle into my face every time we talk would be a fallacy too. But have you ever had a friend like that?

Oi, I’m feeling sicker….
